VICTORY MEANS ts LINOOLl'i's ASSASSINATION, "The darkest day of my life," Gen. Grant once said to a. friend, "wa.s the day I di.ea.rd of Lincoln's. assassination. I did not know what it meant. Her e was the rebellion put down in the field and starting up a.gain in the gutters. We ha.d fought it as wa.r, now we had to fight it as assassination. Lincoln was killed on the evening of the 14th of Ap· ril. I was busy sending out orders to stop recruiting, the purchase of supplies, and to muster out the army. Linooln had prom· ised to go to the theatre, and wanted me to go with him. While I was with the Pres!dent a. note came from Mrs. Grant saying that ehe must leave Waehiogton tha.t night. She wanted to go to Burlington to see her children. Some incident of a trifling nature had ma.de her resolve to leave that evening. I was 11;Ia.d to h8.ve it so, as I did not want to go to the theatre. So I made my excuses to Lincoln, .and at the proper hour we started for the train, As we were driving along Pennsylvani& avenue a horsema.u drove past us on a gallop and b~ck again around our carriage, looking into it. Mrs. Grant said : There is the man who sat near ue at lunch to-day with some other men and tried to overhear our conversation. He was so rude that we left the dining room. Here he is now riding after us.· I thought it was only curiosity, but learned afterwards, that the hore0na.n was Booth. It seems tha.t I WRS to have been attacked and Mrs. Grant's sudden resolve to leave ~hanged the plans, A few days &ofter 1 received an anonymous letter from a man saying that he had been detailed to kill me ; that he rode on my train a.a far a.a Havre de Grace, and a.a my car was locked he failed to get in. He thanked God that heh ~d failed. I remember that the conductor had Jocked our car, but how true the letter was I cannot say. I learned of the aasa.sslna.tiou as I was pas8ing through Philadelphia. I turned around, took a. special tra.ln and ca.me on to Waahington, It was the gloomiest day of my life." ON THE BATTLE Il'IELD. The Sea Oaptaiu and the " Fiery Untamed." A good story is told of an old sea captain who keeps a little hotel in a northern village on the sea. shore celebrated for its sands. His wife was very anxious to have a. horse, an animal in which the old man took but lit· tie interest, but the old lady finally won her point, and got her horse. The steed was of a playful disposition, and used, on the least provocation, to tear madly along the shore, and succeeded in "spilling " the old lady severe.I times. At la.st the captain, who had never driven the anima.l, volunteered to break him off hie vicious ha.bit; eo, getting another old " salt " to aid him, he procured a kedge anchor with a stout line attached, Fastening the end of the line around the axle, and putting the anchor into the phaeton, the " fiery untamed " was harnessed, and the two men started for a drive along the shore, Soon tho vicious animal spied something which gave him an excuse to run away, and immedia.tely dashed off with frightful viva.city. The captain dropped the reins, and summoned all haude to let go the" anchor.' The anchor was let go, and caught firmly in the sand. The unsuspecting quadruped pranced joyously along until he got to the end .of the rope, and then he paused- paused so suddenly that the phaeton was demolished and the two men shot up into the air like a couple of sky-rockets, coming down in a fearfully dilapidated oondition. · - · · """" Religion and Flies. " I would give nothing for that man's re· ligion whose dog and cat are not the better for it, " said Rowland Hill. Unuy adds: " Why not add one's flies? Shall we kill them-or take a moment longer, open the window, and ba.nish them into the great outside summer? The difference la no trifle either to the flies or us. To the :flies it is the differenoe between life and dea.th. To us it is the difference of our religion and irreligion. It isn't our religion which will dash from life the harmless buzzers; their crime, a little a.nnoyance their penalty; dea.tn. 'Do you we.nt to see 'oor Dod, 'ittle fly?' said the 3-yea.rold, who held her ca.ptiTe in one ha.nd, while she raised the other: 'Oo s'a.ll see 'oor Dod- there!' and down · ca.me the h11ond, slapping it out of existence. That God we call a devil, and we pity the little child whose home-creed taug ht It deviltry for divinity. But if th11ot sort of thought would make God a devil, that sort of act in us ia not religion, In circumstances where most men would be apt to lose their head on the field of battle, for instance, Gra.nt's mind seemed all the stronger a.nd clearer. Rawlins told me once tha.t in the confll8ion of the battle field Grant's orders were more explicit and clearer than when everything was quiet. He seem· ed never to get confused. I a.eked Grant once if when giving orders for i:.n engagement, he was not appalled by the great less of life which would ensue, He replied, "No, it was war, but I realized what it meant. I never gave such orders until I was satisfied tha.t it was the best course to pursue, and en I was willing to shoulder the re· sponsibility." He added that many men failed as comma.nders simply because of an unwillingness to assume this responsibility. Be spoke of two men who were tea.rless in this respect, Sherma.n and Sheridan. The latter in particular, hll thought, was posses· sed with ample courage to do what seemed best, to be responsible for the outcome. It wasn't rashness and heedleamess, but fear· lessness in assuming responsibility for re· eults,, WILLING TO GO. The following remarkable document was written by General Grant .in his physician's presence on the 2nd of July :- I ask you not to show this t o a.nyone, unless the physioia.ns you consult with, until the end. Particularly, I want to keep it from the family. If known to one man the papers will get it, and t hey [the family] will get it. It would only distress them almost beyond endurance to know it, and, by reflex, would distress me. I ha.ve not changed my mind materially since I wrote to you before in the same strain; now, however, I know that I gain strength some days, but when I do go back it is beyond where! started to improve.· I think the chances are very decidedly in favor of your being able to keep me a.live until the change of weather t oward winter. Of course tlhere are contingencies that might arise at any t ime that might carry me off very suddenly. The most proba.ble of these is choking. Under the circumstances life is not worth the living. I am very tl: a.nkful [for thankful glad was written, but scratched out and .thankful substituted,] to have been spa.red this long, because it has enabled me to practically complete the work in which I took so much interest. I can not st ir up strength enough to r eview it and make additions and subt ractions that would suggest themselves to anyone else. Under the ai;ove circumstances I will be the hap· piest - the most pain I can avoid. If there is to be any extraordinary cure, such as some people believe there is t o be, it will develop itself. I would say, ther efore, t o you and your colleagues to make me u.s comfort able as you can. If it is within God's providence that I should go now, I am ready to obey H is call without a murmur, I sho~ld prefer t o go now t o enduring my present suffering for a single day without hope of recovery. As I have stated, I am thankful for the providential extension of my time t o enable me to continue my work. I am further thankful and in a much greater degree thankful, because it has enabled me to see for myself the happy harmony which so sud· denly sprang up between those engaged but a few short yea.rs ago in deadly conflict, It has been an inestimable blessing to m e to hear the kind expressions toward me in person trom all part s ot our country from people of all nationalities ; of all r eligions and or no r eligion; of confederates and of n;i.- 'l'he White Feather. It is well known that the phrase, "To how the white feather," is a synonym for cowardice, s.nd i t is said that no g11omecock has a white foather. Thia expression 1nust formerly have ha.d a different meaning, as it arose during the war between the early set· tlera and the North American Indians. A Quaker, who refused t o fly for safety, on day saw a band of Indio.ns 11wooping down upon his home. As the tenets of his faith would not o.llow him to r eceive them with a volley of powder and ball, he invited them in, and set food before them. The good, hearty meal so softened the sava.ge heart tha.t, on leaving, the chief fastened a white fe11other on the door as a badge of friendehip and peace, A lthough after this many savage bands passed that dwelling, none ever vi olated the treaty by injuring the house or its inmate·. -· t '4 ~ ,__ _ _ _ _ ~ Ingrafting Negro Skin. Dr Bryant in his work on surgery tells of a case where he ingr11ofted negro skin on a white ma.n, and the grafts grew with such success that the man's leg, when cured, was half white and ha.If black, It is not stated whether the black skin had any effect in subsequently changing the white skin on other portions of the patient's body, but such a result cannot be considered an impossibility because the black pigment (ni17rum pigm entum) of the negro's skin must have been injected into the pa.tient's body .

" Speaking of buffalo," said Mr. B, Gilpin, jr. , a well -known Colorado cattle man "the last herd I ever saw was a email one: consisting of less than twenty head, which my brother Frank and I encountered near Powder River, T., in the Fall of 1883. We were out prospecting for a. good cattle range, and ca.me upon the bisons near a wooded bluff, close to river. Leaving our buckboard and four horses tied to a tree, we started 11.fter the noble game, quickly selecting a fine-looking bull, which we cut out of the herd and chased on foot as well as we could. Owing to the rough character of the ground, my brother and I ·soon became aepar11oted. Fx a.nk going on one side of a hill and I on the other, losing sight of each other for a few minutes. ·when I emerged on the other side I witnessed a strange transformation. The pursued had become the pursuer. My brother was running like 11. quarter horse, while the bull, with lower· ed horns, was rapidly closing up the gap betwrnn them, The situation looked cr itical, and I made the most haste possible to render what assistance I could to my fleeing brother. Before I could approach near enough to get a shot at the shaggy pursuer, Frank sudden ly disappeared in the mouth of a large cave, with the buffalo following a good second. Their disa.ppea.rance lasted but for a few minutes. J ust as I got opposite the cave the frightened beast emerged, and with a loud bellow plunged for the creek beyond, and, what, was the most wonderful, Frank was seated on the back of the buffalo, with both hands enmtlllhed in his shaggy hair, holding on as for dear life, with blanched face and eyes starting from their sockets. The ma.cl plunges of the beast, accompanied by its terrific roars, were perfectly frightful. Passing down the bank, it plunged into t he strea.m, partly waded and partly swam 11.cross, t hen, rushing up the bank on the opposite side, through a clump of scrub oaks and willows, succeeded in dislodging and landing him, bruised u.nd bleeding, in the underbrush. Ma.king my way to him as soon a.s possible, I relieved him of his awkward predicament and assisted him to rise. "As soon as he recovered himself sufficiently to speak he a.akedme for eome brandy. Having a flask with me, I gave him some, and he revived consider11obly. 'That wa.11 a close shave,' he gasped as he renewed his attentions to the flask. · '.Vhat was it ?' I asked, ' Well, you see after I got separated from you at the hill I took a short cut through a ra.vioe, thinking to head off the buffalo and got a good shot. I succeeded in hea.ding him off, but instead of getting a shot at him he turned upon me suddenly, and, fearin g his horns, I ran a.long the edge of the baok, and seeing the mouth of the cave, dashed in, with the bull close behind me, I had procee.ded but a few yards, however, before I :.aw before me what seemed to be two balls of fire, and was greeted with a h orrible sound, which V{&B a cross be tween a growl and a. roar. I becam~ sud denly a.ware that I was facing a huge cinna.mon bear, which, t o my excited imagination was a thousand times more terrible ·than tho pursuing buffalo. 'l'ul'Iling·to go back, I found my recent enemy blocking my way of egress, and in the agony of the moment I chose the desperate alternative of ll?Ounting upon his back, my only thought being to escape from the bear, No sooner had I alight· ed on the beast than he turned swiftly and rushed out of the cave frightened, if any thing, mor e than I was myself. · You know the rest. I don't want .another such ex periencc, I can t ell you. ' " W e went back to our wagon and ca.mp· ed for the nig nt, returning next morning to the cave, where we concealed ourselves and waited some hours, until finally the bear ca.me out of his hiding place, Seeing us, be made a desperat e plunge toward the spot where we stood. I fired at him from my Winchester, wounding him in t he breast. The shot seemed to anger him more, and it \vas not until I had nearly emptied the magszine of my rifle that h e finally fell. Several shots from my brother 's rifle 2oon finished him. W e drove the wagon as close to the carcase as possible, loaded it on the vehicle wit h some difficulty, and t ook it to the nearest .town. The bear weighed 575 pounds and was one of the largest that h as been killed in that portion of t he country ," ·w. on as much white linen or cotton as their purse would allow. The po~rest and m ost forlorn revelled in a waiatcoa.t which used to be white ea.rly in the week. Those bet ter off wore spotless waistcoats of t he same material all the week, a.nd if their means allowed it , added thereto white duck trousers, the real swells, however-the men who had nothing to do and did it, clot hed themselves in white linen from head to foot in warm weather. The Southerners, who used in aute-bellum days to be the wonder and delight of Newport, Saratoga. and Sharon, were particularly given to ra.iment ef this sort , and in fa.ct it we.a the mark ot pecuniary ease combined with oerfect leisure. Nobody who is anybodyis ever seen in such attire now, Tho stiff linen has gone out; the sofl; woolen has come in. The men a.re, in short, all sllmsy and squeezable as well as women. A suit of white flannel in summer, in the country at least;, is the highest point in the matter of dress to which the ambition of the most restless dude carries him. It means not only disregard of expense but perfection, as regards comfort. But then the wearers of white flannel by no mea.n.s monopolize the good results of t he woolen revolut ion, All summer clothes are now in sense flannels. Of .whatever color they may be, they are thin, porous and light to a degree whioh makes linen seem hot, hea.vy and cumbersome in compar°ison, It has been discovered, and the discovery will never be forgotten in any change of fashion, that wollen clothing, if thin enough is to the wearer very much wha.t the Irishman's whiskey was both winter and summer. It keeps the heat in when it is cold and keeps the heat out when it is hot. It enables anybody to lounge on the grass or on the deck without getting · rumpled o r soiled, and to exercise in.to any a.mount of perspiration without get t ing chilled. In fact, a well-educated man, clothed in thin flannel from the akin out and free from any organic disease, is, in summer, one of the highest products of modern civilization.
