daughter beautiful young lady, who
was an accomplished musician. Mr..
Lincoln received the visitors In his
usual kindly manner and the mother
made known the object Of her visit,
accompanying her plea with tears and
sobs and all the customary dramatic
instances.
There were probably extenuating
circumstances in favor Of the rebel
prisoner, and while the president seem.
ed to be deeply pondering the young
lady moved to the piano near by, and,
taking a seat, commenced to sing
Gentle Annie" a sweet. and pathetic
ballad, which before the war was
familiar song in almost every house
hold in the union, and is not yet en-
tirely forgotten for that matter. 1t is
to be presumed that the young lady
sang the song with more plantiveness
and more effect than Old Abe had
ever heard it in Springfield.
During the song he arose from his
seat, crossed the room TO a window I'm
the westward through which he gazed
for several minutes with that sad. far
away look" which has so often been
noted as one of his peculiarities. His
memory, no doubt, went back to the
days of his humble life on the banks
OF the Sangamon, and with visions OF
old Salem and its rustic store came
a picture of the Gentle Annie" OF his
youth. whose ashes had rested for
many long years under the wild flow.

Then wiping his eyes. he advanced
quickly TO the desk, wrote a brief note,
which he handed to the lady, and In.
formed her that il was the pardon she
sought.

when a poor family lacked a coffin
they made the corpse beg for It.
This custom, alas sometimes led
to imposture. Thus, Thirsty O'Grady
and his friends wanted money badly
once, and OGrady was assigned to
act the corpse. So they laid him on
a bier outside the door and they put
a pewter plate beside him for the
pennies.
CAS- O'Grady lay there, so still, with
closed eyes, an old woman stopped
and dropped sixpence into the plate
Then she began to take out change
A penny, tuppence, threepence she
took out, and O'Grady couldn't stand
such meanness. Corpse as he was, he

AS II Appeared In Print.

Senator Newlands OF Nevada was
soaring In debate one day, soaring so
high he hit the ceiling" He realized
he was getting a trihe flowery and to
excuse himself said: Indeed, Mr..
President, perfervid oratory may be
pardoned, for this subject furnishes
all the food eloquence needs"
That sounded pretty good to Mr..
Newlands, but he was a bit abashed
when he read in the Congressional
Record next day that he asserted his
topic furnished all the food elephants
