LEN HIM OUT OF DANGER.
How 1st r. !. Cavalryman Assisted the
President on the Night of July IL, 1864.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As read
er of your best of papers, 1 have been
much interested in the letters from COM
Capital, in which figured conspicuously
Abraham Lincoln.
/ claim that the LIST r. I. Cav. has the
honor of saving the life of < President
Abraham Lincoln on that occasion.
/ first enlisted April II, 1861, for three
months in Battery A, 1st r. 1. Cav,
thence in August, 1861, in the 1st New
England Cav. for three years, and in 1868
was discharged to re-enlist on the field in
the LIST R. /. Cav. for three years.
On the night Of July IL, 1864, 16 of our
men from Cos. B and q, LIST r. L. Cav,
were detailed to go on picket near Cor
coran's Field, Md. We were placed in a
line just inside the District. had posi-
ton near the road.
Soon 1 heard a carriage approaching,
which stopped at my post, and from the
team stepped President Lincoln, dressed
in black, and wearing the old high stove
pipe hat AS he alighted he placed one
hand on my shoulder and quickly asked,
"Where are theyT meaning the rebels.
The Confederate Cavalry approached to
about 80 yards of us, and opened fire on
President Lincoln, coachman and horses
Lincoln was no coward, and stood calm
and unconcerned as the bullets whistled
through the midnight air. At last I turned,
and, walking up to the President, said,
"This is no place for you" and thinking
only of getting him out Of danger, took
him by the arm, hastily led him down a
two-foot embankment, assisted him into
the carriage, and the coachman wheeled
about and drove back to Washington with
his precious living freight.-JAMEs CON-
MONS, Webster, Mass.

The Hand Thai ROckS RuIeS.

THE first Napoleon said that the one thing
i France needed to make her great was -
MOTHERS. He understood that "the hand
thatrocks the cradle rules the world" There were
mothers a-plenty in Francois mothers go. But
what Napoleon wanted was mothers who should be
breeders of men men of stature and men OF
stamina, fit to follow the eagles of France through
Egypts sands and Russias SHOWS. .- --
There can be no strong manhood where there is
strong motherhood. Strength implies health, for
where there is sound health there is also strength.
The world is full of the wailing of weak and
puny children who will grow up to be small of
stature, frail of body and weak of mind, a menace
to the national greatness. Who is to blame? The
mother is to blame if she does not at least endeavor
to fit herself physically for the duties and obga-
tons of her state.
There is nothing surer, nothing more definitely
established as an undeniable fact than that erak
aOOnlen made strong by the of DR.. Pierce's

Aiuske's

Among the great leaders that may be
ciassed as of the Liberal Though not prop
erly the Reform party is the only China
man whose reputation is world -wide-Li
Hung Chang. He is a man of the meas
ure of Bismarck as statesman. With but
one exception he stands head and shoul-
ders above any of his countrymen. He is
thoroughly Chinese, in his general con-
servatism, in his ccnceit, in his duplicity,
and in the way silver sticks to his palm.
He knows China's weakness. He knows
the strength of foreign Governments. His
shrewdness is more than a match for that
of all with whom he comes in contact.
After his return from his trip around the
world, in an audience with the Empress
Dowager, she said:
Tell me truly, now, what you think of
which you have passed, as compared with
China"
''You want to know truly their condi-
tion?"
Yes: l want to know truly"
well, they are in much better condi-
ton than China. They are more powerful,
cleaner and more enlightened"
1t is said that the Empress Dowager
was not well pleased to hear the truth,
but her lips remained sealed.
A few months ago Sir Claude MacDon-
aid, the British Minister, suspected that
Ii Hung Chang was favoring Russia
against Great Britain, and he managed to
have Ii Hung Chang removed from the
Tsungli Yamen. This was the worst move
he could have made. In a few weeks the
old statesman managed to ingratiate him
self into favor with the Empress Dowager
in such a way as to secure his own ap-
pOintment as Viceroy of the two Kwangs

Ii Hung Chang is as great a statesman
as Bismarck, as great a warrior as Grant,
as great n politician as Platt, and as great
a business man as Rockefeller A large
part of his wealth lies in pawnshops. He
is probably the greatest pawnshop owner
in the world.

The Generals eyes partially opened, but

and after n moments of suspense he at
length spoke. g''S 5f,s sh
MY vision is ihdistinct," were his first
words. FH'' 81 5Ts-r
His pulse became more perceptible, his
respiration more regular, and he slowly
rcgained his vision. Soon after recover
ing his sight, he chanced to cast his eyes
upon the case of pistols, and observing
that one he had had in his hand was ly-
ing on the outside, he said:
Take care of that pistol; it is undis-
charged and still cooked; it may go off
and do harm. Pendleton knows" (attempt-
ing to turn his head toward HIM that l
did not intend to fire at him."
Poor Hamilton did not even know when
he fired the shot. The murderous bullet
of Burr had stunned his whole body, and
at the moment he discharged his pistol he
was really unconscious. He lay tranquil
ly in the boat until he saw that it was ap-.
preaching the wharf, and then said:
Let Mrs. Hamilton be Immediately
sent for; let the event be gradually broke
to her, but give her hopes
Mr.. Bayard was standing on the wharf
in great state of agitation. His servants
had told him that Gen. Hamilton, Mr..
Pendleton and DIR. Hosack had crossed
the river in boat together, and too well
he conjectured the fatal errand, and fore
bode the dreadful result. Perceiving, as
they came nearer, that only Mr.. Pendle-
ton and the Doctor sat up in the stern
sheets, he clasped his hands in the most
violent apprehension. When DR.. Hosack
called to him to have a cot prepared, and
he at the same moment saw his poor
friend lying in the bottom of the boat, he
burst into tears and gave way to lamenta
tions. Hamilton was tranquil and com
posed. The boat landed and Mr. Bayard
said:
Bring him to my house. 1t is near
era
They conveyed the wounded man to the
home of Mr.. Bayard, and the Generals
family were sent for. The terrible shock,
the grief, the agony, the anxiety and fluc-
tuations between hope and despair dur
ing the hours he fingered can be better
imagined than described.
By . o'clock that morning the news be-
gan to be noised about in the city. First
came half incredible rumors on the shud
dering air, which were scarce believed
and less understood; but every heart grew
cold with apprehension, and all listened
for more authentic news.
Mr. Datchery, still harrassed and per-
picked about his speculations, especially
as he lad received reliable information
that the wild lands were worth 100000.
was walking down the street in a state
of distraction, when he, discovered a large
crowd gathered in front of the Tontine
Coffee House. Approaching the crowd, he
asked what was the canse of their excite
ment.
''Read that bulletin" said one.
Putting ON his glasses, Mr.. Datohery
turned to the bulletin and read:
