who died at the age of II, while Lincoln
was president; Thomas, the "Tad" of so
many anecdotes, dying at IS, several
years after the death of his father; Rob-
ert, the frst-born. Is still living. All
this sorrow made of Mrs. Lincoln a sad,
respondent woman, ever fearful Of evil.
She had %foreboding that Lincoln would
one day suffer assassination: and her
husband was shot down before her eyes.
This tragedy, added to the loss of her
beloved children, affected her reason,
and the latter part Of her life was spent
in seclusion; she sometimes dwelling
with her son abroad, sometimes with
him at his home in Chicago, or living
with her sister, Mrs. Edwards, in Spring
field. She died in Springfield July 16.
1882.
Concerning the surviving member OF
the Lincoln family, Robert Todd Lincoln
was born at Springfield in 1S43. He attend
ed school at Phillips academy, and was
graduated from Harvard. When the
war was in progress, young Lincoln en-
tered the service as captain. and
throughout the final campaign showed
himself Jealous and efficient. After the
war he continued his interrupted study
of the law, was admitted to the bar in
Illinois, and successfully practiced his
profession in Chicago. Repeatedly
urged to enter public life, Robert Lin
coin otter refused, but in the Garfield
and Arthur administration occupied the
post of secretary of war.

facts known to be understood, a story
that perplexes one as to where to put
the blame. A bald statement Of facts
would seem to reflect or the man in the
case; and yet Lincoln was a person with
a most delicate sense of honor.
AS is we'll known, Mary Todd was not
| his first love. A few years previous to
| Lexington he had become much inter-

| ton appealed to his sympathetic nature,
Ann Rutledge, a girl who had been jilt-
| ed by a quondam lover. Lincoln and
| Miss Rutledge found each others society
particularly %congenial, and presently
| the two were betrothed. But the girl was
delicate, sensitive, not able to stand the
| strain OF life as she had known it, fell i'll
and died. Her faithful lover was incon-
solable; it was thought for a time he
never would recover from her loss. And
the explanation given by friends for his
| strange conduct towards the lady who
at last became his wife was that a feel
ing Of loyalty to the dead forbade him
ever to marry; another explanation en-
phasized the fact that Lincoln was SUBJ
jetA to fits of melancholy which almost
amounted to madness.
Here is the bald statement OF his affair
with Miss Todd: On the day appointed
Tor Lincoln's wedding with Miss Todd
the bridegroom failed to appear. OF
course this was most embarrassing for
the lady. and his friends say most tragic
for Lincoln. But at the time he was
completely unnerved, on the brink OF
nervous collapse, positively demented."
His friends persuaded him to give up
work, and endeavor to restore his Doise

Romance OF
Mary Lincoln
Born Of a Southern Family. She Became
the Wife Of the Northern War President.
BY KATHERINE POPE

Perhaps 1t was forgetfulness. perhaps
we never knew; but a little surprise was
felt when 1t was recently brought to our
attention that Mary Lincoln was a
southerner.
And yet, of course she was, for her de-
tractors were wont to say of her that she
warmly espoused the cause of the con-
federacy, put forth all her strong intiu-
ence to keep her husband from his posi-
tive stand on the question Of slavery.
But those closely associated with the
Lincolns declare this false, avow that
Mrs. Lincoln, despite the fact that close
kindred were bearing arms for the south.
was loyal to the north, most deeply in
terested in the cause in which her huS-
band was leader.
Yes, Lincoln married a girl some mem
bers Of whose family were to fight for
the ~confederacy. Mary Todd was daugh-
ter Of Robert S. Todd, of Lexington, KY,
the Todds, people of social position, the
family one of the most influential of the
early Kentucky and Illinois pioneers,
Her great-uncle, John Todd, won spurs
in the Clark campaign of 177S, aided in
the capture Of Kaskaskia and Vincennes,
and he organized the civil government
of what became the state of Illinois.
Mary Todd's grandfather was one of the
survivors of the battle of Blue Licks.
The Todds, proud of thier old name,
bestowed careful training on the young
err branch Of the family. Mary was edu-
Gated at Lexington. there taught the &C.
complishments of the day. She was a
fine French scholar, and excelled in her
lessons generally. BY personal acquain-
tances of her youthful days she was de-
scribed as cheerful and f%un-loving, as
well as quick-tempered. In mature
years she showed herself practical, did
her best to try to reform Lincoln in the
matter of looking after the financial re-
turns of his profession. Ambitious. she

A FELLOW FEELING.
WHY She Felt Lenient Towards the
Drunkard.

A great deal depends on the point OF
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
"For many years l was a great suf-
ferer from asthma. Finally my health

me to pay no attention to their advice.
