TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN.
PcroratiOn by Col. Henry Watterson
at Unwilling Lincoln Monument.
(Boston Transcript

(Boston TranscriptD
Born as lowly as the Son of God,
in hovel; raised in penury, squalor,
with no CLEAN of light or fair sur
rounding; without graces, actual or
acquired; without name or fame or
| official training; 1t was reserved for
this strange being, late in life, to be
snatched from obscurity, raised to
supreme command at a supreme mo-
ment, and entrusted with the destiny
OF a nation.
"The great leaders Of his party, the
most experienced and accomplished
public men of the day, were made to
stand aside; were sent to the rear,
whilst this fantactic figure was led
by unseen hands to the front and Civ
en- the reins Of power. 1t Is inmate
rial whether we were for him, or
against him; wholly immaterial.
That, during four years, carrying
with them such weight of RESPONSE
bility as the world never witnessed
before, he filled the vast space allot-
ted him in the eyes and actions of
mankind, is to say that he was in
spired Of God, for nowhere else could
he have acquired the wisdom and the
virtue.
where did Shakespeare get his
genius? Where did Mozart get his
music? Whose hand smote the Tyre
of the Scottish ploughman, and stay
ed the life of the German priest?
God, God and God alone; and as
surely as these were raised up by
God, inspired by God, was Abraham
Lincoln; and a thousand years
hence, no drama, no tragedy, no
epic poem will be filled with greater
wonder, or be followed By mankind
with deeper feeling than that which
tells the story of his life and death"

A NEW BOARD FOR THIS STATE.
Legislature Will BE Asked to Appoint
Three Men TO Inspect Institutions.

Columbia, June 25.-The next
Legislature will be asked to create
board of three men of ability, ex-
perience and character, fixing appro-
pirate salaries, to devote their en-
tire time to inspecting, Investigating
and generally supervising the penal
and charitable institutions of the
State, including the county jails and
almshouses, as we'll as the peniten-
tiary, the reformatory at Florence,
and the institution for the deaf,
dumb and blind near Spartanburg.
The measure will have such able
support as that Of Chairman Christ
ensen, of the asylum investigating
committee, and other members of
that commission, and perhaps not a
few newspapers and State officials.
Mr.. Christensen said: eve should
have such a board as has just been
created in Virginia, or such as is
working SO splendidly in Illinois,
where there has been big shake-up
among these Institutions. think
the creation of such board would
be of great and lasting practical value
to the State, and that the time is
ripe for putting such a board to
work. It's services are needed and
its recommendations would be of
great practical worth. don't like
the word expert in this connection,
but the board should be made up of
good and able men, who would de-
vote their whole time to the work"

An Outsider Who lnnoesntly Made
AinssH at Home.
The American people once elected q
tailor to the presidency, and doubt
less many manipulators Of the shears
and goose have sat in the seats Of the
mighty by election, but only once did
a tailor make himself at home on the
floor Of the United States senate when
he had no constituency to represent
The tailor was Hermann Moritz
Riedel Of Philadelphia, who visited
Washington in April. 1888. to attend
the exciting scenes during the i'm
parchment proceedings against An.
drew johnson. q fellow craftsman.
And this 10 the account Of how he
witnessed these proceedings a. pub
nshed in the Washington Republican
Of that day:
"A good looking Teutonic friend OF
ours a day or two since made an ear
nest appeal to our Auggins for . tick
ct to the senate to listen to what was
going forward ut the impeachment
trial. Muggins. ~ IL his wont. in the
kindness Of his soul consented to fur
nish Teuton with the talismanic paste
board which effects the open sesame to
the senate chamber and also assured
our friend that be would accompany
him to the gallery and ind him an
eligible seat. Auggins and Teuton
started to work their way in. but Mug
gins was detained outside Of the door
for a few moments. and our German
friend went on aud passed the vigilant
sentinels at the outer door and went
directly to the entrance Of the senate
chamber and was admitted by the
gentlemanly ushers under the belief
probably that he was a member OF
congress and passed through the vesti-
bule and took has seat In the lirst va
cant chair and there remained during
the entire session In the confident BE-
lief that he was entitled to the seat"
The descendants Of Hermann Riedel
are living in Washington now. The
