Lincoln Letter Recovered.

Soiled and faded, torn and frayed, a
letter written by Abraham Lincoln a
few months before his assassination
has been found in some rubbish and
papers on Broadway, New York, near
the postoffice. 1t reads as follows:

Nov. 81, 1S64.-To Mrs. Bixby, Boston,

ISOLATION that may be found in tbs

the altar of freedom.

The President and His Bows.

1t was frequent custom of Lin
coins to carry his children on his
shoulders, says the Literary Digest.
He rarely went down street that he
did not have one of his younger boys
mounted on his shoulder, while an
other hung to the tail of his long coat.
The antics of the boys with their faith
er and the species of tyranny they ex-
excised over him are still the subjects
of talk in Springfield. Roland Diller,
who was a neighbor of Mr. Lincoln,
tells one of the best of the stories. He
was called to the door one day by hear
ing a great noise of children, and
there was Mr.. Lincoln striding by with
the boys, both of whom were wailing
aloud. why, Mr.. Lincoln, what's the
matter with the boys?" he asked.
Just what's the matter with the
whole world Lincoln replied I've
got three walnuts, and each wants
two"

Lincoln has been dead thirty-eight
years.
Most of those who personally knew
him have also passed on into silence,
and, like Washington, he has become
in the popular mind sort of mystical
figure, associated with bygone age of
dramatic heroism-a patron saint
Although New England loved Lin
coin as much as any other section of
the country did, when it came to know
him, yet he was always regarded as a
characteristic product of the pioneer
country, and, although efforts not alto

show that he was of bingham ances-

"One story was in regard to a fresh

to those who lived along the river bot

went several miles down the river on
a raft, one day, TO the mill, to have
some corn ground, leaving the chill
dren in the log house. The river had
been threatening to rise for several
days, but the children well knew from
former experiences, that if the river
invaded the house they were to climb
up on the roof for safety.
'The river rose while grandma was
away and she .toiled laboriously to get
home as soon as she could. When she
got nearly home she found everything
af1oat, and as she passed tree that
was well submerged she thought she
heard cry from the branches. She
padded to the tree, and there found
her baby, John Hanks, afioat in his

MONUMENT FOR LOG CABIN.
Spot Where Lincoln First Lived ir
Illinois Will Be Marked.

The Illinois State Historical Society
is pushing movement to erect mon
ument on the site of the log cabin in
Harristown township, Macon county.
which was the first home of Abraham
Lincoln when he came to Illinois. No
body knows what has become of the
famous old structure. 1t was hut of
one room, about fourteen feet square.
1t had loose boards for loft and a
clapboard roof. The logs were chinked
with mud.
The old structure first attracted pub
lie attention when it was sent to the
Centennial in Philadelphia in 1876. 1t
was brought back from there, and a
cabin, which was said to be the same
one, was on exhibition at the Worlds
Fair in Chicago, although its anthem
ITCHY was disputed at the time
The exact size of the old cabin is in
doubt and for some time efforts have
been made by historians to determine
the spot. 1t is now practically settled
that the cabin stood on the spot now
occupied by an old farm house on the
Scroggin farm, near Harristown, Just
