thoritatively and of his own knowledge
the following facts concerning this bar

The Big Foot of Ab->ham Lincoln.

Notwithstanding the attention which
has been paid lately to the historic re-
lation between Abraham Lincoln and
the Hon. Carl Schurz, we observe that
Mr.. Schurz had the hardihood to say,
in his Cooper Union speech last week {:
. THE party of Lincoln! IL men ad-
vocating the arbitrary rule of one peo-
PIE over another on the old despots
plea that such rule is good for the
subject had come to Abraham Lincoln
saying that they were his party, 1t
would have required all his good ma
ture to keep him from lifting up his
big foot to kick them down stairs"
This is really the most interesting
passage in the Hon. Carl Schurz's ad-
dress; for here, If nowhere else, he
spoke with knowledge and authority.
He is perhaps the only man now liv-
ing who ever tried Abraham Lincoln's
patience almost to the kicking point

Good Progress in Porto Rico.

Washington, Oct 1.-THE annual re-
port of Brigadier General Davis, COM
manding the Department of Porto
Rico, states that when the organiza-
ton of the civil government shall have
been completed and the civil machin
cry is working well, there will be no
necessity to retain in the island so
large force as at present. He cannot
conceive 1t possible, however, to limit
the garrison to force just sufficient
to take care of the guns at San Juan.
and he points out that the island of
Porto Rico must have in the future,
as it has had in the past, great mil
itary Importance.

Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 1.-THE re-
ports from Henry Youtsey's sick room
tonight are not encouraging. The only
change perceptiple is that his stupor Is

two and in weak, piping voice re-
peated: "There's no blood on my
hands" His physicians fear brain
fever, which woulG now almost surely
prove fatal.
