LINCOLN KISSING, BEE.

How One of the Martyr Presidents Puns MoIIfhed His Wife.
 ttTearing a few pages from his dia- ry,'' as he put it, General Daniel E. Sickles recently recounted in an ad- dress at New York some of his expert ences in the civil war, says the New his stories were about Abraham Lin coin.
 lss2ss Just after I had succeeded to the command of Rockers old division near Fairfax" he said, ''the president ex- pressed a desire to see the famous di- vision. On his arrival he was met by an escort of 200 soldiers had detailed. What does this mean? he said when he saw the large escort. I'm not an emperor. Napoleon with his grand ar my didn't have such an escort as this
 Another time President Lincoln and his youngest son, Tad visited us in camp at Fredericksburg. Among the officers and their wives who met him at that time was the Princess Salm- Salm, wife of Russian prince who was commanding a regiment in that division. She headed party of wo- men who saluted him and who accom- panied their salute with kisses. This came to the knowledge of Mrs. Lincoln through the prattling of Tad and she was much offended at me for the part she thought I took in that affair. That evening I accompanied the president and his party back to Washington and, to the embarrassment of the pres ident, Mrs. Lincoln treated me coldly He told several stories in an effort to conciliate his wife, but without effect, until finally he remarked:
 'Sickles, I never knew you were SC pious a man
 ".Pious2 You must be mistaken replied.
 "sYes. They tell me you're quite g psalmist; more than that, a Salm-Salm- ist'
 "This broke the ice. Mrs. Lincoln laughed at his pun, and she seemed after that to forget the incident

WHEN GORDON RAN.

Incident In the Life of the Distina
 gufslacd Confederate officer.
 An incident in the life of the late General John B. Gordon, the Confed- crate leader, when he was forced to surrender is recalled by c. H. Girard- eau, now an alderman of Atlanta. The scene was where Carnegie library now stands. It was about 1883 or 1884, says the Atlanta Constitution.
 At that time Professor Means was conducting military school at this place. says MT. Girardeau. Several inches of snow covered the ground, and a full score of boys were up to their necks in snow and fun. l saw the com manding figure of General Gordon turn from Peachtree street into Forsyth street and wend his way toward the old state capitol, which stood at the corner of Marietta and Forsyth streets. He seemed to be wholly unconscious of the fate which was about to befall him.
 ''The keen eyes of the boys caught the sight of the hero of many battles, and young militia got busy with their hands Then they waited in silence until the general got within easy range. Without one word of warning they lit erally covered him with volley of snowballs.
 Gracefully lifting his silk hat high above his head he said, Boys, I sur render.' A chorus of voices rang out: , Run. We want you to run! which { was emphasized by continued volley , of snowballs. He exclaimed, Young gentlemen, I will! And, suiting his words to action and still holding bis hat in hand, he ran beyond the reach of young militia.
 Truly General Gordon was great in the small things of life as we'll as the , important matters pertaining to war and state"

Mt MORTAL DAY.

Next Monday is Memorial day and
we trust that the following remarks by
the state superintendent of public in
struction may be given due notice by
citizens:
: 1t is Memorial Day again. We bring
our annual offering to the graves of
our hOnored dead. AS we sadly Strew
our flowers and stand in the camp of
the fallen heroes, our hearts mellowed
with emotions of praise and thanks.
The practice of having one day set
aside each year for commemoration of
the soldiers work has become fixed
The thirtieth of May is legal holiday
almost nationally observed. The day
needs no proclamation. 1t is unneces-
sary for those in authority to urge its
observance. Commemoration Is a ma
tural emotion, and memorial exercises
become personal ceremonies.
"We must be alive to one fact. In
short time the commemorative exer-
cises of the sleeping soldiers will not
be carried on by those who fought by
their sides. The impressive scene of
surviving veterans marching to church
on Memorial Sunday to listen to a SER
mon which their own lives have made
real TO the world, and the more i'm
pfeSSlVe scene as the same Scared
veterans carry their floral tributes to
deck the graves of their heroic brothers
who lie sleeping that the country may
live, will soon exist only in our mem
orieS. You and must aid the soldiers
son and widow in honoring the men
who generation ago faced death that
this government might not perish. 1t
is privilege that this sacred trust
comes to our hands. We must prepare
ourselves for it. Though our hands are
unused to the instruments of war, we
must keep green the graves and the
memories of our heroes
The few surviving comrades should
be exempt from the sterner duties.
Each community should have an or
ganization to take entire charge of the
exercises in which the veterans should
be the guests of honor"

NEAL Brown was in Madison, and a
spectator at the republican conventions.
Concering his opinion of the anti La
Toilette proceedings special to the
Evening Wisconsin says:
There was no prominent Democrat
who has witnessed the remarkable con-
ditions at the present Republican gath
ering here with more deep interest, or
with more amusement. THAI Neal
Brown, the learned man of his party
and the sage of Wausau. Nor was any
Democrat more sought for by Republi
can members of tue convention, for the
benefit of his sound logic and iudg-
ment, than Mr. Brown. In the course
of a conversation with former Gov. w
III. Upham, Long" Jones of Waukesha,
Julius Wechselberg, +. w. Rogers and
others at the Park hotel after the adj
journment of the meeting of the anti
La Toilette forces, the sage, with some
humor and a good deal of sarcasm
said:
Although this is not my funeral, and
have no real say in the matter, | will
give you gentlemen my opinion, from
legal standpoint, as to your move to-
night. 1t is my off-hand opinion that
you had no other course to pursue and
remain a political party at all The
move you made tonight, as well as the
stand you took today, seems to me to
be absolutely impregnable 1t is GER
tainly lawful and the law would sus-
tain it if appealed to for decision.
''lf state central committee, 2, or any
other committee created by the sover-
eign people, or convention is to gov
ern a convention as the state central
committee did today, then are party
conventions useless and at an end.
There would no longer be any use, sense
or result in your coming here as dele
gates. OF course, | speak as an outsid-
er; but the power delegated to itself by
the state central committee today is one,
which if carried through without protest
or hinderance, constitutes perpetual
or sort of endless chain power, such as
never before existed or was ever before
accepted in this or any other state that
know. 1t means simply that the com.
mittee, created by a convention, is great
er and more powerful than its creator,
and that it would, or could, perpetuate
itself forever.
IF it has the power to throw out one
or ten delegates with credentials from
| their constituents, it has the power to

er than his creator and seems to defy tht
party that made him. The stand Of the
committee would render further conven
tions useless by reason OF the tyranny
of power which it seems 10 have mani

have said, and you have nothing To say

BRAVES OF THE FRONT.

Last Tuesday just before the delega-
ton, stalwarts and partymen, left Mil
waukee for Madison, Ex-Gov. Peck
explained and perpretrated one of his
jokes, says the Milwaukee Evening
Wisconsin.
The governor arrived at the Hotel
Pfister about o'clock with a numbe.s
of small New Testaments in his hands
Quietly approaching Messrs. Pfster,
Rogers, Philipp, Fink and several other
well know stalwarts, the governor said: I:
Gentleman, when left home to en-
ter the army my good wife presented
me with q copy of the New Testament,
which she importuned me to wear over
my heart. presume she did not want
me shot and thought the Testament
would ward off any bullets that might
be aimed at my heart
Nov, it is understood that you fell
lows are going to the front of the
battle, and | present you each with a
copy of the New Testament, trusting
that when you get into the fight you
will know what to do with it."

thanks
