40 much has been said and written concerning
Lincoln and Stanton and their relations to
each other, that do not expect to be able
~ to add anything of special value. But as
had very many and exceptionally favorable
opportunities of observing them, separately and to-
gether during the period of their greatest trials and
highest usefulness and have never yet found Stan
tons personality represented at what seems to
its true value his treatment of Lincoln, Lin
coins treatment of him. correctly interpreted,
cording to my estimation, | am now under
taking by somewhat urgent request to note my views
of these subjects in which is evident that the public
mind is more and more deeply interested as the
years go by, and the value of their wonderful work
becomes better known and hence better appreciated
Mr. Lincoln and Mr.. Stanton were opposites in
spirit and temper completely they were in
figures and stature: the tall and angular. the
other short and stout; the mild and gentle and
laughter loving the other stern, ausere and seri-
Gus; the one disposed to see the good in un-
worthy people, the other inclined to doubt the
existence of any worthiness in people who were
found wrong in any particular; the one open
minded and trustfu the other secretive and sus-
picious when for doubt existed, yet confding
and just when fully assured of merits justfvng it.

Both regarded everybody. North and South who

constant untring effort to aid him in the protection
OF the Government against both its open and its Sc
cret enemies, of whom there many in the North

and it was often made apparent that Mr. Stanton
had greater respect for the Rebel in arms than for
the copperhead, who, occupying safe ground
within the Union lines exerted all his strength and
talents to in Jure and embarrass the administration
and promote disunion
At certain critical times Mr. Stanton gave in

Without waiting for the Major reply the President

Mr. Judd remarked to the President that from his stand

nothing to stand in

portant message from Charles A Dana who was then
Mr. Stantons special correspondent at the front Mr..
Lincoln was always much interested in the dispatches
from Mr. Dana, which usually gave fuller details than
those of the officers in command and at this time he
inquired anxiously for news from him. which 1 could
not, under Mr. Stantons orders disclose to him had
been received until the message had been delivered
to the Secretary of War, to whom it was addressed
| afterward learned that the President in
formed of Mr.. Stantons order in this regard and
think he felt regret that Mr.. Stanton should have
considered it necessary; but he made no complaint
about it. and probably recognized that proper
precaution. At all events, | informed that he
commended the telegraph boys for obeying Mr.
Stanton's directions.

A New Years Remembrance

him in entering the ROOM where Major Eckert Super
intendent of Military Telegraph, seated at his
desk, mine being but few feet from it The Major
rose and gave the President his seat by window
looking out on Pennsylvania ave, where Mr. Lincoln
often seemed to prefer to sit while looking the
dispatches when writing noticed in the hall near
the door when came in woman who was CRYING
The President had noticed her too and at once

said to the Major, What is that woman crying
about just outside your door,"
The Major, not being of her presence re-
piled that he did not know
Il wish you would go and see said Mr. Lincoln
So the Ma Jor went out and soon returned and re-
ported that the woman had come to Washington
expecting to go to see her husband, who was sol
der in the Army of the Potomac. She now found
that although such visits had been permitted to the
wives of the soldiers for sometime past, it was now
forbidden, and she had her child with her in the
expensive city, and her money nearly all gone
she in great distress
After little reflection Mr.. Lincoln said, Come
now, let's send her down. What do you say?"
The Major replied that the recently issued strict
orders of the department to the effect that no
women should be allowed to go to the army and
suggested that leave of absence for two or three
days might be given the soldier to come to Washing
ton.
We'll come, let's do that. You write the order"
said the President.
The Major then suggested that Colonel Hardie
of the assistant adjutant generals whose office
in adjoining room, write the order, making
it official.
Yes, yes, Mr.. Lincoln answered. Let Colonel
Hardie do it. and let the man come up"
And this accordingly done.

About twenty business men of Yell vile have agreed 10 get a subscription of s20,006 in stock and right of way for an electric line from that place to the mouth of Cedar creek on Buff falo river. a distance of twenty miles. The building of the road will mean the opening of the Rush mining district which is said to be rich in zinc ores. 1t is said that twenty miles will be put in operation at once if the line is built. The district is in the heart of the Ozark mountains and at pres ent it k almost impossible to make use of the resources of that section as the railroads do not pass through that district.
