but which runs something as follows, was
waited up from the reservation today;
A large crowd had assembled at GER

prominent young man and woman. The
ceremony had been said, congratulations
offered and luncheon had been served. A
carriage had just driven up to the door
that was to take the happy couple to the
nearest railway station where they were
to take the train for the east on their
wedding trip. The entire crowd was at
the door to Did thers goodbye and god
speed. The team was spirited one,
and grew impatient at the bombardment
of old shoes and rice, and before the
groom could enter the carriage, the
horses dashed away down the road at a
mad pace, with the bride calling wildly
for assistance. The lines few loosely
over their backs and the young lady
seemed absolutely at their mercy. There
was just one thing to do, capture the

OF all the regiments of horse that fought
for the preservation of the Union on the
battlefields of Virginia, Maryland, and
Pennsylvania, perhaps not one had a more
unique and brilliant career than the I'd n.
Y. (Harris Light Cav. Differed chiefly
by West Point graduates and others who
had attained rank in our civil ard foreign
wars, it was imme lately ordered to the front,
and from the day it crossed the Potomac

Bayard, Stoneman, Pleasonton, Gregg,
Custer, Davies and Fitzpatrick are names
that will not soon fade from the memory
of soldiers who saw service in the Army of
the Potomac, and if not the greatest, they

Honest Abe" Says Mr. Arnold: "Of
many Incidents illustrating his integrity
one or two may be mentioned. One even
ming he found his cash overran little, and
he discovered that in making change for
his last customer, an old woman who had
come in a little before sundown, he had
made mistake, not having given her quite
enough. Although the amount was small,
a few cents, he took the money, Immediately
walked to her house, and corrected the error.
at another time, on his arrival at the store
in the morning, ne found on the scales a
weight which he remembered having used
just before closing, but which was not the
one he had intended to use. He had sold a
parcel of tea, and in the hurry had placed
the wrong weight on the scales, so that the
purchaser had few ounces less of tea than
had been paid for. He Immediately sent
the quantity required to maks up the de-
ficiency. These and many similar Incl
dents are told, exhibiting his scrupulous
honesty in the most trifiing matters; and
for these the people gave him the name
which, clung to him through life"
The natural integrity of Lincolns char
acter is brought out in a conversation he
once held with a New Salem friend, Mr..
VIM. McNeeley, who says: Lincoln said he
did not believe in total depravity, and,
although it was not popular to believe it. il
was easier to do right than wrong: that the
first thought was, what was right? and the
oSCohi, Wllstt NstS NlOuS IueIelOTe III was
easier to do right than wrong, and easier to
take care of it. as it would take care of itself
1t took an effort to do wrong, and a still
greater effort to take care of it; but do right,
and it would take care of itself. Then you
had nothing to do but to go ahead and do
right, and nothing to trouble you. l was
acquainted with him long time, and Inever
knew him to do a wrong act" Another Of
his early friends says: He possessed the
judicial quality Of mind in a degree so
eminent, and it was so universally recog-
nized, that he never could attend a horse
race without being importuned to act as a
Judge, or witness bet without assuming
the responsibility Of stakeholder" In
the Spring or Summer of 1882, says Henry
McHenry, Il had horse race with Geo. ge
Warburton. got Lincoln, who was there,
to be Judge of the race, much against his
will, and after hard persuasion. Lincoln
decided correctly; and the other Judge said:
Lincoln is the fairest man ever had to
deal with; if Lincoln is in this County when
die, want him to be my administrator,
for he is the only man ever met with who
was wholly and unselfishly honest"

! In short, hardly an hour passed that OH

A PERILOUS UNDERTAKING.

provoke a quarrel. Lincoln leaned over
the counter. and begged him, as la1ies were
present, not TO indulge in such talk. The
bully retorted that the opportunity had
come for which he had long sought. and he
him from saying anything he might choose
to say. Lincoln, still cool, told him that if
he would wait until the ladies retired, he
would hear what he had to say, and give
him any satisfaction he desired. As soon
as the women were gone, the man became
furious. Lincoln heard his boasts and his
abuse for time, and finding that he was
not to be put off without q fight, said: We'll,
if you must be whipped, | suppose may as
well whip you as any other man.. This was
just what the bully had been seeking, lie
said; so out of doors they went. Lincoln
made short work Of him He threw him
upon the ground, and held him there as il
he had been a child, and gathering some
'smart-weed' which grew upon the spot,
rubbed il into his face and eyes until the

ali this without a particle of anger, and
when the job was finished went Immediately

LINCOLN AND sMooT.
The chief repute of a sturdy frontiersman
is built upon his deeds, of prowess, and the
fame Of the great, rough strong-limbed,
kind-hearted Titan wis spread over all the
country around. Says Hr. Lamon: "On
one occasion while lie Was clerking for
OHutt, a stranger came into the store, and
soon disclosed the fact that his name was
Smoot. Abe was behind the counter at the
moment; but hearing the name he sprang
over and introduced himself. Abe had
often heard Of Smoot, and Smoot had often
heard of Abe. They had been as anxious
to meet as ever two celebrities We're; but

The girls, in company with a number
