garden front at Marlborough House
After luncheon the King and Queen
came out into the garden and walked
up and down, passing and repassing
close to where the men were busy.
The King was smoking and baving
finished one cigar threw the end away
and walking on, was lighting another
when he heard a great scuffing . few
yards behind him. Turning quickly,
he saw two of the painters struggling
together.
He walked up to them and asked
what was che matter. The men
shame.taced and red, stood up and
hung their heads. At last one of
them screwing up his courage, said
humbly enough: ''We beg your par
don; me and my mate knew you was a

you threw away the end, SO we was a.

good. .humoredly. "It is not much to

And going up the steps into the
library he returned to0the astonished
workmen with four cigars. III think
you will find these better than an

L,NCOLN'S DISPATCHES.
why Many Of Them Were Dated
From the War Department.

Why Many Of Them Were Dsted
From the War Department.
Surprise is often expressed by very
intelligent people that SO large a pro-
portion of President Lincoln's most i'm.
portant kilograms and some Of his let.
tiers are dated from the war depart
ment instead of the executive mansion
and none of them from the navy, treas
ury or other administrative bureaus.
This is generally deemed very singu.
lar fact, ana from it writer's have
plausibly drawn the conclusion that
Lincoln personally liked the secretary
of war better than any of the other
cabinet officers. While this indeed ap-
pears to have been true, it does not nee.
essarily SO follow. He certainly held
Mr.. Seward in high regard, yet he sel-
dom went to the state department.
In the circumstances it was not at all
singular. The explanation is easy. War
was the business Of that time, and Lin.
coins eyes were always bent to the
army, especially when great military
events were impending. He habitually
haunted the adjacent war department
and army headquarters, where abode
General Halleck. his military adviser,
for news and views. Head and heart
were strenuously concentrated on the
fight wherever it might be. His fertile
brain saw, too, the critical points In the
game oftentimes far more clearly than
some Of his so called "ablest generals" :"
he not only wished to know what was
going on in the field, but performed his
own part nobly. In the heat Of action
or at crucial moments his orders. sug-
gestions and inquiries were fred of
spontaneously from wherever he might
be at the moment, and at such periods
he was generally "over at the war de-
partment" with Mr.. Stanton. That is
the chief reason why SO many Of his
dispatches are dated at that depart
ment and not because he perhaps held
Stanton in higher esteem than the Sec
retary Of the navy or state or treasury.

"Evil-minded men are trying to or

taught smattering of history and

tematically seek the most excellent
peasants to educate as leaders of the
movement. Also much popular liter
ature is in circulation, painting the
darker sides of peasant life and the
misery and poverty of the people,
thus strengthening the elements of
discomfort among the peasants.
Moreover, it is observed that po-
litically untrustworthy men put
themselves into relations with the
country districts through students of
clerical works and teachers in sem
inaries, and in surveyors and gar
deners' schools. Furthermore, the
agitators. having selected village
where they intend sowing anti-gov-
eminent ideas, go thither as peas
ants, servants, book agents and ped
dlers.
