NO REST FOR LINCOLN.

Remain of tho Martyred President
Again In New Abode.
Fate seems to have denied rest to
the great emancipator even in death.
When the body of Abraham Lincoln
was taken to q temporary vault in Oak
Ridge cemetery, at Springfield. ILL.,, a
few days ago 1t marked the eleventh
removal Of the remains of the mar
tyred president. For thirty-tive years
The metallic casket has been shifted
hither and thither to meet the exigen-
cies of time and change. The fol-
lowing table gives the history OF the
unquiet remains of Lincoln, from the
time Of his death thirty-five years ago:
Died in a house near Ford's theater.
Washington, in which he was assas-
sinated April IA, 1865. Removed to
white house. Removed to capitol
building. Removed to funeral car. Re-
moved to capitol building, Springfield,

Ridge cemetery. Removed to tempo
rary vault. Removed to sarcophagus.
Lincoln monument. Removed to space
between walls. Removed to bed OF
cement. Removed to temporary vault.
For several years the Lincoln nom
ment at Springfield has steadily fallen
into decay. 1t was completed seven
teen years ago, after fifteen years OF
labor. Soon after 1t was finished the
base Of the knoll on which It rested be
gan to shift. Gaping seams appeared
in the masonry, and the monument.
which was one OF the finest in the
country, has long been in danger of
total collapse. Recently enough money
was appropriated by the state legis-
lature to RAE the old structure and re-
build 1t on a foundation which goes
down t~hirty-fve feet to bed rock. This
last removal Of Lincoln's remains was
made necessary on o of the re
building of the monument. The metal
lie casket now rests in a crude wood
en- box in a temporary vault in Oak
Ridge cemetery.

Ont. Vernon (Ill.) Letter.

t
Gertie Cochrane is a little girl nine
years old. who lives in Mount Vernon.
She has a wonderful memory, which
has puzzled all the doctors who know
her, for they cannot understand how
so young a child can manage to keep
10 much knowledge in her little brain.
Gertie began to walk when only seven
months old, and when ten months old
could talk as well as most children
do when they are two years Of age.
She remembers every new word men,
toned in her hearing, and day by day
gathered up the knowledge which she
now possesses. She answers instant
ly and from memory thousands of diff
ficult questions relating to a great
variety of subjects. She can give the
population of all the large cities Of the
world, dates of discoveries. Inaugural
tions. political history, dates Of great
battles. with generals officiating and
numbers killed and wounded: national
debts of all nations. including the
United States. and can give Is exact
size every ear since the time of
George Washington. She states the
financial history of worlds fairs. in
Guiding the great Chicago Worlds
Fair. She names the presidents and
yice-presidents, giving them in order,
both backward and forward; the kings
and queens of foreign nations, capitals
of all states and nations Of the earth,
and her knowledge of Bible history,
dates, events and the like is remarK-
able.
When making her instant reply to
any difficult question, her bright eyes
sparkle with fun. and he- winsoine,
childish ways are %endearing TO all who
know her. In appearance Gertie is
of slender form, has oval features and
auburn hair that curls in a sunny mass
