LINCOLN IN THE SHADOW.
Almost Tempted Him to End
His Life.

Congressman James Rankin Young,
of Philadelphia, is quoted as repeating
this story of Lincoln, related by Secre-
tary of War Stanton:, r
Zone story in particular he told that,
can remember, startled us, and its
details are still vivid in my memory.
Mr.. Stanton had been relating to us
many incidents of the funny side of
Mr.. Lincoln's character when suddenly
he stopped and, after remaining silent
foH probably minute, looking in a
vacant way at some manuscript lying
on the desk before him, he turned in his
chair and said: Gentlemen, there is
nothing that gives me SO much pain
as the opinion that seems prevalent,
judging from the newspapers, that Mr..
Lincoln was habitual joker; that it
was an impossibility for him to be
serious, no matter how grave the occa-
sion might be. Nothing is further
from the truth. His heart was big and
good, his nature warm and sunny;
hence he naturally looked at the bright
side of events; but no man of my ac-
quaintance was more serious than he
when the surroundings of the case
warranted that he should be. l will
give you point in instance.
"'Mr. Lincoln, during the war, was
very sensitive of the criticisms on his

retreat of Hooker was received. When
Mr.. Lincoln read it he threw up his
hands and eXclaimed: "My God! Stan
ton. our cause is lost! We are ruined
we are ruined; and such fearful loss
of life! My God! this is more than l
can endured" He stood, trembling Wis
IDLY, his face of a ghastly hue, the per-
spiration standing out in big spots on
his brow. He put on his hat and coat
and began to pace the floor. For five
or more minutes he was silent, and
then, turning to me, he said: IF / am
not about early tomorrow do not send
for me, nor allow anyone to disturb
me. Defeated again. and so many of
our noble countrymen killed! What
will the people say?"
"'As he finished he started for the
door. was alarmed. There was some
thing indescribable about the pres
ident's face and manner that made me
feel that my chief should not be left
alone. How to approach him without
creating suspicion was the thought of
a second. Going up to him and lay
ing my hand on his shoulder, | said:
'Nlr, President, !, too, am feeling that
would rather be dead than alive; but
is it manly-is it brave-that we should
be the first to succumb? l have an
idea: You remain here with me to-
night. Lie down on yonder lounge,
and by the time you have had few
hours sleep, / will have a vessel at the
wharf, and we will go to the front
and see for ourselves the condition OF
the army"
1.-The idea of visiting the army in
person acted like tonic. Mr.. Lincoln
instantly adopted the suggestion. The
next morning we left Washington on q
gunboat for Hooker's command. On
our return trip Mr.. Lincoln told mt
that when he started to leave the wal
department on that evening he had
fully made up his mind to go immedi
ately to the Potomac river and there
end his life, as many poor creature
but none half so miserable as he was
at the time-had done before him.

BY COOPERATION.
It Ia Proposed 10 Maintain Colonies
q, and Huild Cities.

Toledo, Aug. 15.-The Brotherhood
Company, incorporated Monday at CO.
lumbus, has been organized for the
purpose of placing in operation the
greatest cooperative scheme ever at
tempted in the country. Among those
who are mentioned in the list of in
corporators are Mayor Jones, of this
city, and j. A. johnson. a Millionaire
OF the state of Washington. The
brotherhood proposes to distribute
stock over the country in small
amounts. the investors being fully
protected by cooperative life insur-
ance.
The plan includes a great amount
of educational work, and it is pro-
posed to do much in the way of build
ing cities and placing cooperative
farming communities. In every place
where the sentiment has developed
the projectors propose building one of
these colonies and it will be extended
as the finances admit. The first Of
these colonies will be established on
the shores of Lake Erie, near this city,
and it is understood thar more than
half the money required has been
pledged by people of Toledo.

CIVIL WAR STORIES.
gennt Made an Impression on
His General.

A soldier who has heard some of the
yarns from Manila matches them with
number relating to the great civil
war. Among them are interesting
"reminiscences of Gen. Nelson, one of the
heroes of the early part of that war.
On one occasion after the battle of
Shiloh, when Capt. Martin lgoe, a
quartermaster, was trying to eXtricate
his train from the mud, the general
wore rubber coat over his uniform,
and there was visible no insignia of his
rank. Noticing the obstruction he rode
up to the irate lgoe and opened at once
with: "What is the matter here, sir?
What is the matter?" Igoe looked Nell
son over impudently and then said, i'm
patiently: ANY burned fool can see
what's the matter. The trains stuck"
Nelson roared out in his characteristic
way: "Do you know who / am, sir? Do
you know who | am?" 81 do" lgoe
| roared back. "You are the darned pot
bellied quartermaster Of the Forty
nun OIlO lJuN, Dlullh JOu1 luhh Ou,
and can get these wagons out without
any of your lip" Nelson was as man
| thunderstruck for minute, then with
chuckle he rode away. One morning
as a regiment was waiting in line to
pass in review before Nelson, who with
his staff was stationed on the roadside
at the head of the column, Jack, the
commissary sergeant, come down the
road on his mule. He gave the boys a
triumphant look and said to those with
in hearing: "See me make an impress
sion on the general" He rode on, OBJ
livious of the look on Nelson's face, and
when in front of the general made what
he regarded as n most stunning salute.
Nelson, who did not tolerate any de-
parture from army usage or regula-
tions, glared at Jack and his mount,
and then squirting his large horse for
ward, shouted: Get off that mule,
blank you to blank get off that mule

A LOSS OF SEVEN MILLIONS.
That's the Figure at Which Texas
Floods are Computed TO Have Cost
the Farmers,

Washington, Aug, 15.-E. S. Holmes,
an expert of the statistical bureau OF
the department of agriculture, has
Just completed report TO Chief Sta,
tistician Hyde, of that department, em-
hndying the results of tour of the
food devastated region of Texas and
making a careful estimate of the dam
age done, the aggregate of which he
places at S7,414,000.
The number of farms submerged is
estimated at S,100, with n total area OF
about 1,3SO,OOO acres. OF this area at
the time of the food there were about
100000 acres under cultivation, with a
total production in sight equivalent
TO about S7,95O.OOO.
Although nearly 90 per cent. of the
total loss occurred in the destruction
or injury to growing crops, the dam
age to farm property and the losses
of live stock, etc. amount to SS44, 600
The land itself is damaged by wash.
ing and gullying to the extent of over
100000, but of this loss about half is
estimated as offset by the increased
future productiveness resulting from
the alluvial deposit left by the fioon.

Lmoy Nohb1bt OF Inroo OfulsoID Duu

Makes u Profit by Repairing Them,
Washington, Aug. 15.-Nayal Con-
structor Richmond Pearson Hobson
was heard from by the navy depart
ment yesterday for the first time at
any length since he was assigned ia
duty in charge of the Spanish ships
raised from Manila harbor and now
undergoing repairs at Hong Kong,
His report is unusually interesting,
dealing in general questions, such as
the need of a large dockage in tha
Orient, the increasing shipping at Ma
Mia and the prospect that Manila will
succeed Hong Kong as the emporium
of the east, the value of Chinese labor
in all branches of industry, etc. He
also says the three Spanish ships
which are completed will be worth to
the government about 100000, and
he contemplates trying to raise three
more Spanish vessels now at the bot
tom of Manila bay. The letter is
addressed to Rear Admiral HichbornA
chief of the bureau of construction,
and is dated at Hong Kong, July n.
He says;
"In compliance with the bureaus
instructions / enclose special report
on the raising and repairing of the
Spanish vessels sunk IN Manila bay.
The three vessels under reconstruc-
ton, the Isle De Cuba, Isle De Luzon
and Don Juan De Austria, are at about
equal stages of completion, which !
estimate to be about so per cent. com
pared with the vessels fitted out ready
for sea. The batteries and electric
plant. which have nor arrived, will
doubtless he the last items. ! esti-
mate that the time of completion will
be about six weeks after the arrival

sells when completed, exclusive of ar
mnment, to be about as follows: Isle
De Cuba $215,OO0. Isle DE Luzon $21j,
900, Don Juan De Austria $lS0,000
Total estimated value of all three ves-
sells 100000"
He then shows that the raising of all
three vessels had cost about $304,0 900,
making a net gain to the government
on the three vessels of 100000. He
gives the credit for this result to
Naval Constructor Capps, who made
the contracts.
Mr.. Hobson speaks of the general
good condition OF the vessels and
says: This is particularly the case
with parts that remained completely
submerged. Thus the large engine
parts were scarcely injured at all.
This feature has an important bearing
upon the wrecks still in Manila bay,
which expect to examine with divers
when the vessels now in hand are com
Pleted. The long period that they
have been immersed may not have BE-
riously injured the principal parts
and there may be similar advantage
to the government in further salvage,
particularly as to the Don Antonio De
Ulloa and the Velasco, sister ships to
the Don Juan De Austria, which. from
all accounts, suffered less damage than
those that have been raised"
Mr.. Hobson then urges the desir.
ability of well equipped United
States dockyard in the far east, as, hi
says, the cost of private work is very
high.

Jack threw himself from the mule and

Nelson roared: "Come down, sir, and
