NOTES ON LINCOLN.
Some Recollections Of the Martyred
President in Civil War Days.


(From the New York Tribune.)
President Lincoln as he impressed
a girl not yet out Of her teens was
the timely subject of a paper read by
Mrs. Mary Coffin Johnson at the
monthly meeting of the Daughters of
Ohio in New York, held yesterday af-
ternoon. Mrs. Johnson herself was
the girl, and her paper was made up
Of notes which she jotted down at the
time.
Married at seventeen" she said,
II was fond, like many other girls,
Of taking little trips to Washington.
Like school girl, l was given to writ
ing down in my diary the things
saw and heard, and l made careful
note Of every time l looked at Lin
coin.
'The first time l saw him he was
standing up at his full height, calm
and unconcerned, apparently in dn
open barouche, opposite my door IN
the street Of a southwestern city.
The carriage moved slowly, the street
being blocked by masses of people, and
/, like every one else, gaped at him
with all my eyes. Unattractive he
was in his personal appearance, un-
polished, with no pretensions in his
manner to superiority, and yet some
thing about him, something in his dig
nifty and simplicity and the strong in
dividuality of his presence, impress
ed me very deeply. And l was not
easily impressed at that time," Mrs.
Johnson remarked parenthetically "by
any serious person.
Lincoln was thorough Kentucky
an in appearance. At the time of
which l speak his national reputation
was a matter of months only. He
had no thought at that time of inter.
fering with slavery in the states where
it already existed. He had won the
high confidence Of his party and reU-
utatiOn for wisdom and telling oratory
by his speeches in his controversy
with Stephen A. Douglas; and now,
being newly elected to the presidency,
he was on his way to the capitol to
take his seat. Even then many Of the
states were wavering, signs of the
coming conflict were visible, but none
Of us dreamed as we looked at Lin
coin how serious the conflict would
be, nor that We were looking at the
great prOtagonist to be.
Three years later l was in Wash
ington. My first glimpse of him there
was at a formal function, where l
had the pleasure Of handshake and
a brief word from the president. The
following Sunday | sat but few yards
away from the pew which the presi-
dent occupied at the New York Ave
nue. Presbyterian Church, and l was
struck by his careworn look, by the
lines which the past three years had
drawn in his face.
Near the close Of January, 1865, /
went again to Washington. With our
party were several men who repre-
sented noble, unpaid charity which
the cival war had brought into exist
ence, the United States Christian Com
mission. These men had an interview
with President Lincoln at the white
house by appointment, and l was al
lowed to accompany them.
I'VE arranged ourselves in the great
east room and after a little delay the

SnarIing Republics.

Those Americans who are aching to
see the United States and Japan go to
war are now turning their gloating
eyes to poor little Honduras and Mica
ragua in hopes to see them fall to pull
ing each others hair. It's pity that
these Central American toy republics
haven't sense enough to behave them
selves and to devote their time to the
arts of peace for which nature intend
ed them rather than to the art of war,
for which they are poorly equipped. 1t
would be good thing for all concern
ed-and to us-if they would unite
with the Mexican republic, becoming
an integral part thereof, but really
that's too good thing to hope for. So
they will go on, ad inhnitum, yOwling,
splitting, scratching and going through
the motion Of hghting each other.

The British Vice Consul at Rouen
reports tnat the cultivation in France
of the new potato brought from Uru-
quay mas been observed tor some time
with great interest. The variety is
called "Solanum Commersonali violet"
is said to possess excellence OF taste
as we'll as n4tritive value, and is
equal to the best table pota.o known
in France. This variety Is distinguish
ed by its resistance to frost, as also
to disease, and its one great advan-
tage Is that 1t prospers most in a damp
and swamp soil, wheer no other kind
of potato would grow. Every kind
OF soil, whether clayey, calcareous, or
silicious, seems equally adapted for It's
culture, provided 1t is damp.

We have heard from old Missouri, and
our heart is light and gay.
She is once more democratic clean

And We hear the roOsters growing in

While the ecnoes are resounding all

And our heart Is nIIed with rapture,
aud we re feeling mighty me.
We have heard from old Missouri, and

She has turned about Ill gladness from

She has shouted out the Iidings that

And We near the echoes rolllng all the
way from CaSS To Wayne.
We have heard from old Missouri;

And our cup OF JOY Drlms over, and

WORK STARTED ON
 RETENTION OF LINE
Tombstone Telephone Com pany Commences Erection
 of Line 10 Gleason.

TOMBSTONE, April 26.-The Tombstone Telephone Company has begun the work of the extension of its lines to Pearce and Gleason. The work was started yesterday morning out of Tombstone, and considerable headway made, over two miles of the holes dug and sakes placed for the others for over seven miles. It is expected that at the rate the work has been started that the line to Glea- son will be completed in about two weeks time. The work out of Pearce has already been started but the work will be delayed little from the fact that few days since a wagon load of the telephone poles were strung out over the ground and the men were to start on the next day to place them, but upon arriving at the places where the poles had been left, it was discov- cred that all of the poles had been stolen during the night It is sup posed that the theft of the poles was done by Mexicans who used the poles for fire wood as that article Is said to be quite scarce in Pearce.
 It is expected that the line from Pearce to Gleason will be completed by the time the line reaches there from Tombstone. When this nne Is completed most of the principal towns of Cochise county will be connected by phone. The work on the new line Is being done by Jim Christensen of St. David

\ MIDNIGHT FIRE WIPES OUT
 HOMES
Three Dwellings and Carriage Shed Destroyed By Fire at Hedberg Addition Near Don LuiS-lncendiarism.

About o'clock Friday morning a lire which occurred at Don Luis In the Hedberg Addition destroyed three dwellings and carriage shed. The property loss is placed in the neigh borhood of s2500 or 5000, partly GOV cred by insurance. The officers of the lower end of the district are work ing on a clue which they think may lead to arrests on charge of incen- diarism.
 The contiagration started in the home of Charles Holquist and destroy ed his home and one other dwelling also owned by him, but unoccupied. Holquist recently built the two houses at cost of S1600. He carried insur- ance to the extent of s105O.
 A third house was also carried away in the flames, as was horse and car riage shed nearby.
 Owing to the lack of fire fighting facilities, it was with the utmost hard work on the part of bucket brigade that the fire was held down within the confines over which it burned.
 Two families were yesterday with out shelter and furniture following the fire which swept away their be- iongings.
 A light breeze was blowing at the time the fire started, but fortunately did not blow with sufficient violence to carry the flames beyond an open space which interyened between the burned circle and another group of dwellings.
 This is the second fire that has oc- cured at Hedberg within the past six months, a former blaze consuming two dwellings and a store, and badly scorching third dwelling. Incendiar- ism was also charged at the first fire and well known resident of Hedberg was said to have started the fire to even a personal grIdge held against the owner of the property.
 The officers are reticent as to where they place the blame for Friday morn ing's fire, but it is understood that they are watching a person thought to have been responsible for the fire.
