BRITISH DIPLOMAT TO BE
 TRANSFERRED FROM MEXICO

London, Jan. 6-Sir Lionel Garden, the British minister to Mexico, is to be trans ferred to another post, and it IS hinted that the reason for his transfer IS his outspoken comment on the relations existing between England and the United States over affairs in Mexico, published some weeks ago.
 Minister Garden at that time telegraphed to London that English subjects were in danger and that the United States either would not or could not protect them. He demanded that the home government take immediate steps to protect the English peo- pie in Mexico and his demands were so urgent that 8 cruiser squadron was hur- riedly ordered to sail for Vera Cruz Upon the arrival of this squadron it found the harbor occupied by eight American battle ships and the American commander under orders from Washington to protect all for eigners
 cinity of the Gulf ports, and Garden again demanded that British ships be sent, as the Americans would do nothing. While his cablegrams were still unanswered the Amer can gunboat Wheeling was under the fire of the rebel guns, removing foreigners and Americans from the danger zone, and it eventually turned out that the presence of the English ships was not needed.
 In view of these facts and the desire tc keep on perfectly friendly terms with the Washington government, it has been de cided that Minister Gardens usefulness in Mexico has passed.

A Louisville Lincoln Story

General Porter tells the following Lincoln story in his Grants Last Campaign;
 About 30 o'clock Mr Lincoln came ashore to say good dby. We had the satis- faction of hearing one good story from him before parting. General Grant was telling him about the numerous ingenious and i'm practical suggestions that were made to him almost daily as to the best way of destroy ing the enemy and said; The last plan proposed was to supply our men with bay onets just foot longer than those of the enemy and then charge them. When they met, our bayonets would go clear through the enemy, while theirs would not reach far enough to touch our men, and the war would be ended Mir Lincoln laughed and remarked: Well, there is a good deal of terror in cold steel I had chance to test it once myself When I was a young man 1 was walking down a back street in Louisville one night about 12 o'clock, when very tough locking citizen sprang out of an alleyway, reached up to the back of his neck, pulled out 8 bowie knife that seemed to my stimulated imagination about three feet long, and planted himself square across my path. For two or three minutes he ilourihed his weapon in front of my face, appearing to try to see just how near he could come to cutting off my nose with out quite doing it, He could see in the moonlight that l was taking good deal of interest in the proceedings, and finally he yelled out, as he steadied the knife closer to my throat: Stranger, kin you lend me five dollars on that?' l never reached in my pocket and got out money so fast in my life. l handed him bank note and said: There's ten, neighbor; now put up your scythe"

Another of lincoln's Stories

The following anecdote of President Lin coin is told by George w. Curtis:
 When he was President there was sen ator of the United States, distinguished as more expert office broker than any of his associates in congress, whom we may call, for this occasion Hon. Jeremiah Jones Early and late, in season and out of season, when news from the front was most en- couragng and when anxiety was heaviest, the Hon. Jeremiah was busily pushing one follower into postoffice, and another into a custom house, making this man mes senger, that woman hoor-scrubber, build ing up everywhere the power of the Hon. Jeremiah, hunting the president and sec retaries, bawling for place. place, place, as Patrick Henry's John Hood bawled for beef, beef, beef and one day Mir. Lincoln being asked by friend to give him the routine of his daily employment, compiled, and, describing what he did during the day, added: After ali this comes night, and l must think of rest. I think of the brave boys in the field and on the sea, of the aching hearts and the praying lips at home. kneel down and pray, too. Then I jump up, look under the bed to see if Jerry is there, and, if not, thank God and bounce in'"

lINCOlN'S IMMORTAL WORDS
 AT GETTYSBURG

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this conti- nent a new nation, conceived in llb erty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
 Now we are engaged in great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedi cated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is a- together fitting and proper that we should do this
 But, in larger sense, we cannot dedlcate-we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or de- tract The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have thus far so nobly advanced. It is, rather, for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased de- votion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devo- tion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

LincoIn's Year of Insanity

In 1882, at the age of 23, Abraham Lin coln was the owner of farm seven miles north of New Salem, and the half owner of the largest store in the place. At this time he met Miss Ann Rutledge. Two weu-to-do gentlemen of the place-Hill and McNeil- were courting her with devoted assiduity :; she decided in favor of the latter. He parted with her early in 1882 to visit his father in New York, promising to return at a given day and make her his own. She watched him ride away on Old Char ley, an antiquated animal that had seen hard usage in the Black Hawk war, and that logged slowly along the bad roads to New York Then there came letter tell

Lincoln as Seen by an Associate

Her years when he practiced law with lirl he thought Lincoln to be the great charac- ter he afterward became, replied "No to be frank about it. did not Lincolu was not student. He would read the news papers, but he had very little book learn ing He was not a man of application, even in the law. He would practice the law to support his family and he kept in the line of what people were talking about but for osity nor passion. He affected me as very interesting man on account of his hurlor, geniality and his pretty general effective ness before the juries of our state. In point of fact, the greatest of Lincoln's qualities was his oratory by which 1 mean not only the beauty and clearness with which he ex- pressed himself but the remarkable style in which he composed his speeches. He be- longed to the type of orators, and it is as an orator that the public must remember him. even though unconsciously. A certain turn he gave to his enunciations touched both the intellect and heart. There he was a master As story-teller he was decid edly the best I ever knew and that was g great faculty through Illinois. Though his stories were not always nice, they were above being low, and the wit of their ap plication was something extraordinary"

ing of sickness in the family which forbade his return at the appointed time This I was followed by other postponements, until years rolled by. The 1naecountable delay, the infrequency of his letters, and his failure
 to give a reasonable explanation for his postponemnts finally les8ened her attach ment and made frightful lnroads upon her health She only waited to see him in or
 der to ask a release from her engagement,
 and to let him know that she preferred another and more urgent suitor whose name
 was Abraham Lincoln. During three years young Lincoln visited Miss Rutledge two or three times a week, first as a friend in
 suitor for her hand She was a great
 favorite in the village, loved by all who
 knew her. She was probably the most re-
 fined woman to whom MT Lincoln at that
 time had ever spoken He was always wei comed by her father and mother. The lat ter he always called Aunt Polly in his familiar way. Both father and mother en-
 tertaned for him a deep affection, and though they never openly expressed them selves in regard to Ann's choice of hus-
 band yet they would, without doubt, have rejoiced to receive the manly Abe Lincoln into their family He lighted up their home with cheerful glow whenever he entered,
 and he gave a pleasant flow of mirth and 1 joy to their conversation. Anns relatives were all united in encouraging the suit,
 which the young man pressed with great
 earnestness, but she firmly insisted that her | honor demanded her to wait until she could be released from her first engagement be- 1 fore she made a second In 1885 she and i Lincoln were formally and solemnly be-
 trothed, but she asked to wait another year, hoping that McNeil would return and that
 she might release herself from her engage
 ment to him. Weeks and months passed
 and he returned not While she was wait ing, Lincoln was studying night and day to make himself more worthy of Ann, and
 while he was growing in mind and body
 and daily developing the great intellect that was to fit him to lead mighty nation
 through the fierce struggle of war, Ann was l hourly fading away. In August, 1885, she died, as her physicians said, of brain fever,
 but, as her neighbors believed, of the long 1 series of bitter disappointments and the
 bangs inflicted upon her heart and mind in striving to do right in regard to two lovers
 to whom she had pledged her hand Ann
 was buried at the little cemetery at New tSalem, and as the future President stood
 over her green grave with streaming eyes he said, My heart lies buried here" After the burial he began to exhibit that deep vein of gloom and sadness so often noticeable
 in his conduct while President. He lost all
 self-control, and every friend he had in New Salem pronounced him insane. He was constantly watched, and with especial vigilance, says one of his neighbors, during
 storms, fogs and damp or gloomy weather,
 for fear of an accident" At such time he
 would rave piteously, saying, among other wild expressions, T can never be reconciled to have the snow, rain and storms to beat
