A HOUSE or REAL HISTORY.

The minds of American people turn
back in mournful Renaissance to that
little room on Tenth street, Washington,
y. c.. where so years ago to-day the life
passed out of the body of that great
man, Abraham Lincoln, causing the ma
tion to be plunged into the depth of real
grief There in the narrow confines of
a small house, into which the mortslly
wounded man had been carried the night
before, after the assassin's bullet had
laid him low in the Ford theatre just
across the street, the hopes of the nation
were centered as President Lincoln made
his futile struggle for life against the
terrible wound inflicted by the deluded
Booth. The room in which the death
angel lowered was as unpretentious and
as lacking in the glittering things of
the world as had been the life of the
martyred PRESIDENT fitting setting, in
deed, for the denouement of the great
drama of his life. To-day that little
house, maintained as a sort of museum,
is the gathering place for all American
people of patriotic mould as they 90 to-
visit the national capital. The awe of
a great tragedy in our national life at
tracts to the place in a measure but,
far greater than that, the sense of the
deep loss sustained impels Americans to
visit the Tenth street house as they
would visit shrine. There is a sort of
halo over the ancient little structure
which will not be dissipated as long as
the building stands; and as one ascends
the ld-fashioned stairway leading to the
front entrance feeling of deep rever
cnce comes to every patriotic mind, a
feeling deepened as one enters the por-
tails of the building and looks upon the
simplicity, even meagerness. of the sur
where passed out the life Of
one of the most illustrious of all Amer
icans Doubtless on this half-centurv
anniversary to-day the little old house
was thronged with people filled with
deep and reyerent memory for the great

expect some privations? Or did they ex-
