Impuilent Involvement.

An old Washington gentleman tells
a story which he overheard President
Lincoln repeat, and which he believes
has not been published. During one
of his busy reception hours, when the
president was talking first to one, then
to another of the many who filed the
room in the white house, a gentleman
asked if any news had been received
from John Morgan, whose confederate
cavalry were raiding Kentucky and
Ohio. We'll catch John some of these
days." replied Lincoln Il admire him,
for he is bold operator. He always
goes after the mail trains in order to
get information from Washington. Or
his last raid he opened some mail
bags, and took possession of the OIL
cial correspondence. One letter was
from the war department to lieuten-
ant in Grants army; it contained a
captains commission for him. Right
under the signature of A. Lincoln the
audacious Morgan wrote: Approved.
John Morgan and sent the commits
sion on it's way So there is one Off
Ger in our army whose commission
bears my signature with the approval
of that daredevil rebel raider.

AS If some joy it evermore must miss.
Beside that grave you sit with head bowed

Vainly across your brow the breezes blow,
The sun looks down with loving kiss in

Nor breeze, nor sun, nor bird can ease

Above another heart that silent lies
Close to the earth you lay your ear and cry
Aloud the sleeper's name; no voice re-

Upon the air your piteous wailing diee.
In vain upon the grave you lie, and throw

A SOLDIERS LIFE.
An Illustrative Example of Wh1t
Some of the Civil War HerOc1
rn Passed Through.

The adventures of Corporal John G.
Stoughton, company E, One Hundred
and Fourteenth New York volunteers,
who afterward became sergeant and
first lieutenant, were equally strange
and interesting. He was in the assault
of Port Hudson, and when the assailants
were driven back and dispersed, he
found himself so near the enemy's works
that he concluded that his safety would
best be promoted by lying low" He
did 80 all through the blistering hours
of that June day, and when darkness
began to gather he attempted to with
draw from the field, says the American
Tribune He heard a Halt, there,
Yank!" and he found that he was COW
cred by rifles thrust over the top Of the
work, while the same voice invited him
to "come in here!" The invitation was
more peremptory than hospitable, and
Stoughton would have preferred to de-
cline it, but prudence compelled him to
accept, and thus he became prisoner.
He was reported in his company as
missing, and was thought to have been

The plain young fellow, whose

There was a glad look in his eyes as
he held out his hands, and his face
was aglow with expectancy.

tone:

killed. Hundreds were buried three or
four days after the assault, as soon as a
truce could be obtained for that pur-
pose, whose faces were black and be-
yond recognition from exposure; and it
was supposed that Stoughton was among
them. On the 9th of July the enemy
capitulated, and our army marched in.
Great was the surprise and delight Of
his comrades to find Stoughton alive
and well. He was quiet fellow, using
few words;;-bu always keeping up a
busy thinking, and there was flavor
of dry wit in his brief account Of his
three weeks captivity.
1T seems, by the company report"
he said, that was dead and buried
three weeks, but was the last one to
hear of it. After day or two the
rebs wanted to send me out on parole,
but thanked them kindly and told
them it wasn't worth while, that the
rest of the Yankees would be in in a
few days. You see, knew they were
hard up for rations, and wanted to
help them out. At first my daily al
lowance was four ears of corn. After
ward they gave me some mule meat,
which was first rate eating, of it's
kind"
For his gallantry and cleverness at
Cedar Creek, Stoughton was made SER
geant. He was captured in the morn
ing, while bravely fighting, and night
hurried up the valley with nearly 1000
prisoners, for the tide of victory had
turned. Most of these men were taken
to Richmond or further south, and en-
dured long Imprisonment. Some
shrewd escapes were made-that of
Stoughton, among others. He secured
a hat and blanket from an exhausted
confederate straggler, got himself
cursed and ordered out of the column as
one who had no business with the pris-
oners, gladly obeyed, lurked awhile in
the woods, and the next day, in half
confederate costume made his appear
ance at the roll call of his own company.
He received a slight wound in the
cheek before he was captured. He was
among those who were highly COM
mended in general orders for bravery.
He was in every engagement of the regi-
ment, and was made lieutenant three
months before the close of the war.

Of September two corps of Buffers

Richmond. The confederate positions
were captured and held, but we didn't

COUNTED HIS FOOTSTEPS.
German Explorers Singular Way Of
Mapping His Route Through
Africa.

Count Edward Wickenburg, a Ger
man explorer, lately returned home af-
ter long expedition in Africa. He
started from the French port of Dr.
bouti, travelled inland to Addis-Ababa,
the capital of King Menelik, then on to
the great brackish Lake Rudolf, and
finally to Lamu, on the Indian ocean.
1T was a very fruitful journey and the
best feature Of it was the fine map he
brought home of his entire itinerary,
says a London paper.
Count Wickenburg had with him two
pedometers, which counted his foot
steps for him, and he was thus saved
the labor which DR.. Junker underwent
when he walked 400 miles into the
depths of Africa and had to count every
step himself. Wickenburg ascertained
very carefully the average length Of his
steps. One thousand steps we're repre-
sented on the map by line little over
a third of an inch in length. Every mile
he walked added about an inch to his
route on the map.
When his path was straightaway he
often walked as far as 1000 steps be-
fore he stopped to bring up his map to
the point he had reached. If the path
we're crooked he stepped more fire.
quently.
So he trudged on, compass in hand,
taking the direction of the route while
his pedometers kept steadily counting
his footsteps. Twenty-one big sheets
we're required to record the first stage
Of his journey, a distance of 273 miles.
When the expedition returned home
his hundreds of big map sheets were re-
duced, in the process of the engraving,
to sheets of much smaller scale. His
map has been published this month in
six sheets, and fine product it is, gt*-
ing much detail about every important
aspect of the country for miles away
on both sides of the map.

COST OF PANAMA CANAL.
Many Millions Already Spent and
Many More Necessary for
Its Completion.

It is estimated that it will cost the
United States $184 ,233 1858 to acquire and
complete the Panama canal, besides the
amount to be paid to the government In
control of the isthmus for the conces-
sion.
Already there has been an immense
amount of money and energy expended
on the canal. 1t is safe to say, asserts
the New York Tribune, that q sum
more than sufficient to dig waterway
from ocean to ocean at sea level has
been collected from investors at d1ner'
ent times in its history.
When De Lesseps organized the first
company in 1880 for the construction
of the canal, it started work at paid up
capital of $60,O00,OOO. For eight years
the company toiled, employing at times
as many as $1,000 men. Then came q
necessity for changing the plans and
the company failed, after having COL
lected in round figures from the sale OF
stock and bonds $260,000,000. OF this
it was shown that the expenditures
actually made on the isthmus amounted
to $156, 40O,0 600, and that the cost OF ex-
cavation and embankment proper was
$SS,600,000. The ultimate cost was then
estimated at 74,600,000. For several
years an effort was made to capitalize
a new company to complete the work,
and at last, in 1894, the present Panama
Canal company was organized with a
paid up capital of $13,O0O,000. Since that
time work has advanced at the rate OF
about 100000 cubic yards of excava-
ton each year.
The total amount of excavation up to
the present time has been about 81 ,0OO,-
900 cubic yards. Unfortunately only
about 100000 cubic yards of this is
available for the waterway proposed
in 1S99-1900 by the canal commission,
of which Rear Admiral Walker was
president. The Walker commission's
recommendations included this avail
able excavation in the $4O,000,000 to be
paid the canal company for it's work,
maps, records, drawings and the prop
erty Of the Panama Railroad company.
The commission estimated that the
total amount of excavation which would
be required for the canal to be built
from it's plans, exclusive of that for the
Bohio dam and the Giganti spillway,
would be 94,863, 703 cubic yards. The
work remaining to be done, therefore,
represents the difference between the
amount of available excavation which
it will acquire by purchase from the
Panama Canal company or nearly
three-fifths Of the entire work. It is
estimated that the cost of this work will
be $144, 233, 1858, in addition to the sum
to be paid to the present owner Of the
property. BY the time it is completed
more than $3.50, 100000 will have been
obtained in one way or another for use
in building the canal. while nearly $312,-
100000 will have actually been spent In
connection with its construction and
administration.
It was the intention Of the Panama
Canal company to make the canal 29.5
feet deep. The increased dimensions OF
steamers now being built has made II
necessary to plan tor & much deeper
canal, and the Walker commission's
plans are for q waterway 36 feet deep.
