cast bronze figures to surmount the
granite pedestal. In spite of all this,
and in spite of inc fact that over
100000 was raised, no monument was
ever erected, and, what Is stranger
still, no money was ever returned to
the subscribers. Both monument and
money have disappeared in tradition,
and it Is only by chance that it is
brought back now to recollection that
such an enterprise was ever contem
plated.
The National Lincoln Monument as
ISOLATION was chartered by congress
in 1867, and the list Of incorporators
included cabinet minister's, senator's,
representatives and other dis
tinguished citizens.
OF all the lncorporators only one
is known to survive-Shelby M. Cul.
lom. now United States senator from
congress. Cullom does not remem-
Der anything about the association.
When he was reminded of it not long
since he said the whole business had
entirely slipped his mind. And yet at
least 100000 must have been con-
tributed for the monument. because
the IL bronze guns were issued BY the
war department to the association, &C.
cording to the official records; and
under the act Of Incorporation 1t was
provided that no guns should be is.
sued until the voluntary subscriptions
actually in the hands Of the treasurer
should amount to 100000.
There are occasional references to
the proposed monument in acts of con-
gress and department records, down as
far as 1882, when all allusion ceases and
oblivion closes over the enterprise. But
$10O, 900 seems to have been successfully
swallowed up.

In almost every instance our presi-
dents appropriately have found burial
in the place where they made home.
Grant, who could hardly be said to have
had axshame, is buried in New York.
Arthur, who was born in Vermont. and
spent most of his life in New York
city, lies at Albany. Garfield's tomb
is at Cleveland, instead of at Mentor,
which his residence made famous. Zach
airy Taylor. who was born in Virginia,
died in Washington, and was more
closely identified with Louisiana than
any other state, is buried in Kentucky,
among his ancestors.
Two presidents lie buried at Rich
mond-Tyler and Monroe-and two lie
buried at Quincy, Mass.-John Adams
and John Quincy Adams. There is no
other town in the United States thus

DISTINGUISHING ENEMIES.
II Missouri and Kansas Emigrants
Didn't Talk Like Natives They
Were Sent Back.

Senator Stone, of Missouri, declares
the only way to carve" a watermelon IS
to ''bust 'er," but says that every state
has peculiar way OF doing things as
well as its own style Of pronunciation.
1T is said that when the first tide Of
New England settlers began. to drift to
Kansas" said the senator, according to
the Des Moines Times, 'Missourians
tied COW at each crossing of the Mis-
souri, river. II the emigrant said cow
he was permitted to cross, but il he pro-
nounced it 'keow' he was told to return
to the east, because the natives were
satisfied he was an evil minded aboli-
zionist. The Kansas people evened up
by tying bear on their side OF the river.
and II the emigrant<said bear he was
given the right hand Of fellowship, but
II he pronounced it bar be was given an
hour to get back to Missouri, because he
was an advocate Of slavery.

b OF Tyner 1t is said that no man was
more surprised than he xwhen the
president called him to the white
house to tell him Of his promotion to
the cabinet.
Marshall Jewell. Of Connecticut, was
postmaster general. He had been firt-
ing with the candidacy of Secretary
Bristow, whose aspirations for the
presidency were not favored by the
administration, and one day about the
time Of the national convention Grant
called Jewell into the cabinet room
and asked for his resignation, at the
same time requesting him to suggest
a successor. Jewell yielded grace
fully, and suggested Tyner, who was
at that time first assistant postmas-
ter general. Grant sent for Tyner,
who promptly came to the white
house, for he was not accustomed to
being summoned by the president.
"Mr. Tyner," said Grant, looking at
him severely, Il have decided to
make change In the Office of first as
sistant postmaster general" Tyner
gasped and turned pale II should
like to have your resignation" con-
tinued the president, ''as soon as you
can give it to me-" Tyner bowed
submissively. "And, if agreeable to
you," continued Grant, II should like
to have you accept the office Of post
master general
Tyner almost fell to the floor in his
establishment It had never occurred
to him that he would have place in
the cabinet.

The social prestige of Newport as the
only August resort of the exclusive has
been shaken by the growing practice o1
owning country homes Of large extent
and of giving numerous week Send
house parties at them. Many old hab-
tues Of Newport find the place almost
uncomfortable now because of the compli-
cation of divorced couples. 1t isn't pleas
ant, to say the least, for people in high
society to meet sundered fragments OF
once presumably happy couples now
gathered into new relationships.
Bishop Burgess, of the fashionable
Long Island diocese, which half the year
includes SO many social elite, heads a
movement for the cutting on of the privi-
lege of remarriage by the Episcopalian
church to divorced persons. It Is q
curious coincidence that very close re-
lative Of Bishop Burgess's predecessor
was herself divorced and remarked
within the church. It is not an easy
problem.
Newport has one tower of strength. It
is the summer home of the British lega-
