ABRAHAM LINCOLN's WAY.

The following story is told by one who ought to know about it's authenticity, and who youches for its truth:

General McCleI- Ian, as is well known. conducted walt ing campaign, being so careful not 10 make any msta kes that he made very little headway. President Lincoln sent this brief but exceedingly pertinent note:
 My Dear Mcclellan: If you don't want to use the army l should like to borrow 1t for a while. Yours respect iuiy, A. LINCOLN"

You poor and frightened silly cat! You'd better climb tree. Or I will let my temper loose And then a sight you'll be. There's not a cat in all this town Who doesn't fear my bark: And when they know that I'm around They keep themselves quite dark. 'I'm called the Big Cat Killer. And there's blood within me eye. So, If you'd live to catch a mouse, Me you'd better not come nigh"

GHOST OF
LYNCHED MAN
APPEARS AT sEANcE AND OWNS
UP TO HIS GUILT.
Spirit Of ed Johnson, the Chattanooga
Negro, Says the Mob Got the
" Right Man.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. l6.-
The spirit Of Ed Johnson by some
means appeared at seance held In
this city last night. Johnson was the
negro rapist lynched here a year ago.
which event Is the basis Of the pres
ent contempt case in the Supreme
Court against Sherin Ship, for john
son was a Federal prisoner.
Gathered in circle within a prom
inent lawyers Office were five attor-
news. With them was a medium In
whom spiritualists in this section be-
lieye implicitly. Among the lawyers
was Judge Lewis Shepperd, who de-
Tended johnson, and is now defending
eleven of the alleged lynchers; Mar
tin Fleming, attorney for the other
lynchers; t. C. Latimore, one OF
Ships attorneys. and Judge Snod-
grass. former Chief Justice of Ten
nessee.
While they sat the manifestations
began. The second alleged spirit to
appear was that of Ed Johnson. He
said:
81 want to speat to Judge Shep-
perd. He did all he could to clear me
of that crime, but l want to tell him
now that l am guilty. I raped the
girl and the mob hung the right man"
The voice was distinct and some
say it was a natural reproduction or
Johnson. The incident created much
remark and for a moment there was
a disposition to stampede the senace,
but quiet was again restored and when
the spirits again besan to perform the
familiar spirit of tho medium appear
ed. and in voice that frightened the
most incredulous commanded the black
spirit to depart, calling 1t unclean and
from the wicked world.
1t is recognized here that the case
against Sheriff Shipp is fast approach
ing a crisis. The apparent determin-
alton Of the Government in his prose-
cution has proved discouraging to the
people here, who do not believe in the
Sheriff's guilt. After the peculiar hap
pening in the darkness of spiritual
senace there was dicussion among
the lawyers of the singular coinci-
dence. None of them explain how the
trick was played, If trick it was, and
some Of the more credulous really be-
lieve it was a genuine appearance Of
the negro's spirit.
