which Mcclellan, Burnside. Hooker and
Meade had been held, Mr.. Stoddard ask
ed Lincoln to explain, and this is what
he said:
"You see. when any of the rest set out
on campaign they'd look over matters
and pick out some one thing they were
short Of and they knew | couldn't give
'em. and tell ME they couldn't hope to
win unless they had it; and it was most
generally cavalry. Now. when Grant
took hold, was waiting to see what his
pet impossiblity would be, and reck-
oned it would be cavalry, as matter OF
course, for we hadn't horses enough to
mount even what men we had. There
were $4,000 or Whereabouts UP near Hair
per's Ferry, and no horses to put them
ON. Well, the other day, just as ex-
pectcd, Grant sent to me for those very
men: but what he wanted to know was
whether he could disband EN- or turn
'em into infantry: He doesn't ask me to
do impossibilities for him. and he's the
first general I've had that didn't" -Pitts-

~ n April II just lhirty-three years
IL will have passed since PRESIDENT
~ Lincoln was shot down in Ford
Theater, Washington. by John Wilkes
Booth. The excitement all over the UNIT
ed States to-day, caused by the war scare
brings to mind the thrill OF horror ana
excitement that passed over the country
thirty-three years ago. when. just as the
minds of the people had become settled
after four years of war. tho country was
stnrtled by the announcement OF LIN
coins assassination.
Announcements had been made IN
Washington papers that President LIN
coin and Gen. Grant. nccompahle" D.!
their wives, would visit Ford's Iheater
(now Il pension otiice) on the evening OF
April IA. ,.,.
Gen. Grant found it necessary to visit
Burlington. y. j.. on that inemoraple
14th of April. and he accordingly sent 10
President Lincoln note of regret al MS
inability to accompany him to the the
alter that evening, leaving Washington ON
the q p. NJ. train.
TO Schuyler Colfax. then Speaker OF
the House, the President extended an in
yitation to attend the theater as late as
SIS o. m., for it was not until then that
the Presidents party left the W mite
House. President Lincoln manifested a
curious reluctance to going. but stared
that the papers had advertised that MN
self and Gen. Grant would both attend.
and, since Gen. Grant had left Washing
ton, he did not want to have the audience
disappointed, as the people would expect
to see at least one of them.
The theater was crowded. The box
reserved for the presidential party was
the double box forming the second tier on
the right-hand side Of the stage. The
front Of the box was decorated with flags
and in the center. on the outside. hung
IN engraving of Washington.
As the Grants had declined All invita-
ton to attend, Mrs. Lincoln invited. in
their stead, Miss Harris. daughter Of SEN
ator Ira Harris. and Maj. Henry Il.
Kathbone. the Senator's stepson.
The play presented was the original
version Of Tom Taylor's Our American
Cousin" as it was always given before
the late Il. A. Sothern's changes in 1t,
afterwards made to elaborate his still
remembered character Of Lord Dun
drcary.
The assassin. Booth. familiar with the
theater, visited the box about . p. M.
looking in for IL last survey Of the various
positions of its occupants. 1t was sup
posed. ut the time, that 1t was due to a
mistake or the exercise OF an imperti-
nent curiosity. Unknown to the presi-

out the house. The audience listened to
the dialogue between Florence Trenchard
and May Meredith, when the pistol shot
rang through the theater. 1t was appar-
emily fired behind the scenes on the right
OF the stage, and it was accepted by the
audience as an introduction to some new
passage, several of which had been in
terpolated in the early part Of the play.
Booth had been noted as a leaper, hav-
ing become habtuatcd to sensational
leaps in his repertoire of characters. He
leaped nine feet down on the stage, but
his spur caught in the flag decorating the
front of the presidential box and rs he
reached the stage he fell. recovering him
self in wonderful way. though his leg
was broken. He bounded across the
stage. pushing past Miss Laura keene.
who stood near the prompter's desk.

still holding the dagger. As he crossed
the stage Booth cried out, dramatically.
"Sic semper tyrannis" and II have done
IT." Once through the side scenes Booth
quickly escaped by the rear door OF the
theater, where a horse awaited him. us
bride held by an employe Of the theater
whom Booth rewarded with kick, MS
agony from his broken leg being intense.
Meanwhile the shrieks OF Mrs. Lincoln
made clear to the audience the nature or
the horrible crime that had just been per-
petrated. Fanlemonium reigned. Wom-
en- cried, men followed and children
screamed. Miss Laura Keene advanced
to the footlights and called out: "For
Gods sake, have presence Of mind! Keep
your places and all will be well.'
Miss Harris called to Miss Keenc to
bring some water, which the actress did.
and afterwards accompanied Mrs. Lin
coin to the house opposite, to which the
unconscious President was Mt once re-
moved. 1t was found that he had been
shot through the head, above the back of
the temporal hone, and that some OF the
brain was oozing out and that death was
inevitable.
Within comparatively short time the
terrible news had spread all over Wash
ington, and by midnight every member
Of the cabinet. except Seward. whose own
life was attempted. had gathered at the
bedside Of their dying chief. Mrs. Lin
coin was present. Frustrated with grief.

President Lincoln never recovered con
seriousness. As day dawned his pulse
failed and a look OF perfect peace over
spread his features. At 1:ccc n. m. he
ceased to breathe. Rev. DR.. Gurley knelt
down and prayed and Secretary Stanton
broke the silence which followed with the
remark: snow he belongs to the ages"

Of his life. Lincoln wrote words that
