 Therefore the commissioners would be cheerfully delivered to Great Brit ain and that power would be forever barred from reasserting the right of search. This dispatch was discussed at cabinet meetings on Wednesday, (ChriStmasl and Thursday and after Mucu OpIIOsIuON was heartily 1ndorsed
 Years afterward. when John Hay was secretary of the legation at Paris and Colonel Webster was consul at Bradford. England. they met in the gay French capital. and of course they fell into a reminiscent chat
 Webster asked about the paper which Lincoln had so unostenta tiousIy destroyed on that memorable Sunday in Washington. Hay explained that it was a dispatch Lincoln had prepared in answer to Great Britain's demand and that it was directly opposed to t5P propositions of Stewards dispatch.
 An experimental draft of this docG- ment in his own handwriting was found by Hay among LincOlns papers after his death. Its chief proposal WAS to arbitrate the matters at issue or iR the alternative to carefully discuss the questions involved and formulate ! rule binding upon both nations for simss liar cases in the future. ..
 Lincoln's dispatch was never suR mitted to his cabinet. At the instant of drawing the copy from his porker that Sunday afternoon he accepted Stewards proposition without reserve. sunk self and pride without hesitation and changed the impending course of American history. Boston Globe.

The Old and the New.

 Tomorrow never comes. they say, And yet year is as a day. As we shall know tomorrow. Tonight the old year goes to rest, His thin hands folded on his breast. His withered lips together pressed. And with him goes his sorrow. Tonight. ere gray the morning grows. An infant. still in swaddling clothes. Will come to earth to greet us. The bells will clamor at the gate, Will shout aloud: You're late! You're
 late!' Within his hands he holds our fate. Yet. laughing. comes to meet us. An old year goes: a new year comes. The sound of bells and muffled drums Are ever close together The borderland 'twixt life and death Is but step across the heath. One spans 1t in a single breath Be dark or bright the weather. Tonight the old year folds his wings, Lies down to sleep among the kings That wait across the river. To nineteen twelve we say "Goodby!' To nineteen thirteen. drawing nigh, For mercy we may vainly cry And time goes on forever

A FAITHFUL NEW YEARS
 DAY

VIEW YEARS DAY is the ami N versary of an event which IN marked the happy conclusion of
 one of the most fateful acts in the shifting, momentous drama of the American rebellion.
 On this date just fifty-one years ago the curtain of night fell on the peace full finale to the famous diplomatic complication known as the Trent af- fair, which came dangerously near in volving Uncle Sam in discussion with John Bull at bayOnet's length.
 In 1861 James NJ. Mason of Virginia and John Slidell of Louisiana. who had left the United States senate to cast their fortunes with the Confed- eracy. were appointed commissioners to solicit the aid of Great Britain and France in behalf of the south.
 On a dismal, rainy night in October they escaped from Charleston on a blockade runner. They left Havana for England on the British mail steam CT Trent Captain Charles Wilkes of the United States man-of-war San JacintO. returning from an unsuccessful chase

 Of course John Bull went into an in dignant, bowling rage. He demanded the release of the prisoners and an apology. To show that he meant busi- ness he sent troops to Canada and be- gan preparations for war. In addition to this formal demand, he sent little personal note to his minister at Wash ington directing him to allow the United States just seven days to comply.
 John Bulls ultimatum reached Wash ington on Thursday, Dec. 19.
 Friday and Saturday passed without action. Sunday was distinctly Quieter about the big building devoted to af- fairs of state. ..

Stewards companions that day were his son. Frederick. then as- sistant secretary of state; E. D. Web Ster and clerk.
 Late in the afternoon, just as MT. Seward was concluding his paper. President Lincoln came into the office, accompanied by John Hay.
 After the usual greetings tue presi- dent referred to the Trent affair, and the secretary of state explained what he had been doing. Lincoln expressed a desire to know the contents of the proposed reply, and young Webster was directed to read it to him. The president listened attentively and at the conclusion of the reading said:
 Read it again. please, pausing a mo- ment at the end of every second or third sentence"
 AS the second reading progressed the presidents face relaxed and plain ly indicated a feeling of relief As the secretary neared the end Lincoln drew document from an inside ,nck- ct, quietly sauntered to the hrpl::l.t and threw it into the flames without word of comment or explanation.

WELLINGTON.

Miss Coleman has returned to New York.
 Miss Church spent Sunday, her birthday, with her sister and brother in Rockville, making the trip in B. Benton's automobile. ..
 The timely and inspiring sermon by Rev. E. W. Darrow at the Baptist church Sunday morning was from the 65th Psalm, 11th verse.
 The Christmas exercises at the church passed pleasantly and were we'll attended. The program could not be entirely carried out on account of the absence, on account of illness, of dozen or more of the children. Those from here who attended the cantata at South Wilmington speak in appreciation of it's excellence.
 We greatly appreciate the holiday tokens from Press readers living afar, and their assurance that they read and enjoy this column. From Mrs. Susan Merrick Hayward, Arden, N. O., we received a box of beautiful Holly, mistletoe and other plants with beautiful, wax-like foliage, that gives little idea of the luxuriance of southern vegetation. We have heard also from Florida, California, Mime sota, Illinois and many places nearer home. Thank you all.
 We hear from Ida l.. Topliff, Spring field, Mass, that her mother, the widow of Sherman Topliff, died in that city Dec. 29th. Since the fami- ly moved from here to Springfield the daughters, Misses Mary and Ida, have made home for their mother in that city, where both have been employed They have kept in touch with Will lington through The Press. Mrs. Topliff was an intelligent, quiet, home keeping woman devoted to her family, by whom she will be much missed. For some years she has been in delicate health.
 On Christmas day, as the Savor family were returning from the ser vices at the Congregational church, Mrs. Savor driving, the spirited horse ran, upsetting the vehicle and more or less injuring all the party. Anna, the oldest girl, had several teeth broken out and little girl of seven had leg and two ribs broken. The Hill telephones soon summoned Drs. Converse and Hanley, and Miss Bennett, nurse, and the sufferers were made as comfortable as possible. The next day the horse ran with the men of the family and the carriage was strung all along the road for a mile or two. We hear that the dangerous animal has been sold for teaming purposes.
 Continued ill-health, in the form more particularly of nervous break down brought on by over-work, has made it necessary for Rev. Harold Gardner to return for time from his mission field in Turkey. With his wife, he is now en route for home. It is hoped that the voyage may be restful and great benefit. His many friends are very glad that he wisely broke away from his school and many responsibilities before the malady be- came more deeply seated. He will be warmly welcomed, and after he is rested no doubt will, by interesting people as to the needs of his especial field, be able to accomplish much good even while he is recuperating. Just here we were told by telephone that Samuel Gardner of New Haven has gone to New York to meet his son and that Dr. Chambers of the American Board, who has recently returned from Turkey, will also be there to vooo+ tho ctoamor On it's arrival

A curious mistake occurs in the word crayfish. The name was borrowed from the. French, who call this lobsterlike animal ecreVisse. The English thought that because it lived in the water 1t must be q fish, says the Raja Yoga Messenger, and so we always call it the craytish.
