A Toiielnii j Inrlilrtit. An incident that has probably never appeared in print was related by the Tlon Schuyler Col fax regarding Abra- lium Lincoln. It was during the dark days of 1WH on the evening of u publie reception given at tliu wliite hoiif-o. Tlio foreign legations wo o tliore gathered about tlie stalwart form of the great president. A young nobleman , one of England's "linest1" was "doing" the country and was just being presented to the presi dent. Inside the door , evidently over awed by the splendid assemblage , was an honest-faced old farmer , who shrank from the passing crowd until ho and tlio plain-faced old lady clinging to his arm , were pressed back to tbo wall. Tlio president , tall , and in a measure stately in his personal appearance , looking over the heads of the assembly , said to tlio English nobleman : "Kxeutc me. my lorlrthero's an old friend of mine. " Passing backward to the door , Mr. Lincoln said , as ho grasped the old farmer's hand : "Why , John , I'm glad to see you. I haven't been you since you and I made rails for old Mrs. , in Sangamon county , in 18-17. How are you ? " The old man turned to his wife with quivering lip. and , without replying to the president's salutation , said : ' 'Mother , he's just the same Old Abe ! " "Mr. Lincoln , " ho said finally , "you know wo had three boys ; they all enlisted - listed in the same company ; .lohn was killed in the 's ven days light ; ' Sam was taken prisoner and starved todeath , and Ilenry is in the hospital. Wo had a little money an' I tald : 'Mother , we'll go to Washington an' see him. An' while wo were hoio I said we'll go up an' oo tbo president. ' " Mr. Lincoln's eyes grow dim , and across tlio rugged , homely , tender face swept the wave of sadness his friends had learned to know , and ho said : "John , wo all liopo this miserable war will soon bo over. I must tee all those folks hoio for an hour or HO , and I want to lalk with you. " The old lady and In r husband wore hustled into a private room in spite of all their protests , and the greatest man of any ago showed ho had never foil himself above the eom- , mon people who made him. A timely ChurKii at ( IcttjKljiirt. On the 2d day of July , 1803 , ono regi ment , detached from Us brigade , divis ion and corps , was guarding a battery located at , ono of the vital points on the Hold of Gettysburg. This regiment lay within full view of Sickle.s's corps when , it was thrown into confusion after its gallant commander had been wounded. The men of Slckle.s's corps swept back ward through the lines of the regiment alluded to , and the victorious Confeder ates pressed forward to capture the bat. tery and the important position it held- At this moment General linnet ck gal loped on to the ground , and for one brief moment took in the situation. Looking around upon the little band of men guarding the battery , ho said : "What regiment is this ; " ' "Tho l-'h'bt Minnesota , " quietly replied Colonel Colvillo. "Colonel , form your regiment and charge that line ! " That line was tlio victorious confed erate division which had just driven from the tlold the eirp * of Sickles , and was proving forward , to capture tlio position hold by the First Minnesota and the battery guarded by It. The command was instantly obeyed. The 1-Mrst regiment llxed bayonets and charged down the slope with a shout , uprlnglng for the center of the eon- fedeiatu lino. The confederates paused , apparently in perfect amaxoment to see tins little band of determined men spring from the earth to oiler themselves a willing saeri- llce. llce.Tho The confederates opened tire , and the charging column molted rapidly away. Again and again tlio colors went dowii. to bo toil-oil by other strong arms , and still the little cjmpany piest-ed forward until it had crossed bayonets with the eonfcdorato center and thrown their line into confusion. Wliile this charge was in progress the Second corps ( UaneockM ) had been hur ried forward and occupied the important t position , and the ctnfederates were re- pulsed. The writer porstnally heard General Hancock tay yea H aftotwa d that his deliberate judgement was that this charge tayod the day at Gettysburg , lilt ulVar Illntur } . The decision of the United States supreme premo court on April H , covering intc the United States treasury flo.OOO bor rowed by the C'horokees from the Choc- < 4iws in 1805 , recalls u very interesting chapter of unwritten war hlatorv. In October , mil , Albert 1'lko , oominls- Hltmer on the part of the eonfcdorato states , entered into a treaty with the Cherokcos , under the terms of which treaty the Cherokee nation was to furnish two regiments of soldiers to aid the southern cause. AH n consideration for such service - ice , the Cherokee * wore to receive $ , 100,000. 'I'hetwo regiment * were fur nished and accordingly Commissioner Pike paid the money , 9150.0(10 ( being in gold and the remainder In confederate bills. The two regiments were thor oughly equipped and placed under com mand of Standwaitie and John Urow res pectively. Standwaitio and Drew went north and participated in the battle of Klkhorn or Tea Uldc" . where their army became badlj demoralized andt-cattored. Standwaiteand Drew being shutolT from Talilcquah the base ol their supplies by the union forces went on south. Chief John Ross , not until thl time fully booing the true strategy of the war , under the escort of the union army loaded the money received from the confederacy into a wagon and loft the country. Whore this money went is yet an unsolved question Ono theory is that it was used in the interest of the union icau--o : yet many persons claim that it fell into the hands of the confed eracy after leaving Tahlequah. 13o that as It may , Chief John Ifo s soon turned up at Philadelphia , and later In Wash ington , without a cent to the credit of the Cherokee nation. It was then that Chief Ross borrowed , through the sanc tion of the government , the $1(1,000 from the Choetaws which has just recently been returned to its rightful owners without interest.

"I know that the late General Kirb > Smith tired the last shot in defense of the rebel Hag. 1 participated in the battle referred teen on the federal side which was fought at Palmetto ranch , Rosca Chica.

Colonel H-in-ottof'thoThirty-fourth ' Indiana infantry , ausNted by four com panies of the Sixty-second United States colored infantry attacked the confeder ates. The result was a defeat of the union forces , and the last battle was not a victory for the union , as bas generally Deen reported. Colonel Barrett could not rout the rebel cavalry , protected as they were by six-pounders , and they were compelled to retreat to the eiver of tbo siege guns , which were at Brazos-Santi ago.

The battle of Pal metto Ranch was fought on the famous Held of Resaca do la Palma , which lent additional charm to that last victorious stroke of the south. To escape capture the color bearer of C ilonel Barrett's regiment tore the Hag down from its stall , tied the stars and stripes ab mt his waist , jumped into the Rio Grande , and swam to the Mexican side. The river at that point is wide and swift , which ma.lo tbo action of the color bearer very peril ous. On going down tbo Rio Grande a few miles tlio brave protector rccrossed the river and joined his comrades. I wrote out tlio olllcial report of the en gagement for the federal colonel in com mand , and know that what I have said is true. " Trllmtf to ScottMli-Amcrlrnn Knldlera. Our consuls write letters to the State department which often , when pub lished , tell us lots of interesting things- about ways and peoples in queer coun tries. But not every consul raises an American monument in a foreign city as Wallace Bruce , poet and lecturer , will have unveiled this summer in Edin burgh. Tbo monument is a tribute to the Scottish-American soldiers who fell in our civil war , and it is the result of an active man soliciting subscriptinos in all quarters. A bronze figure of Lin coin will surmount tlio red Aberdeen granite base. At Lincoln's feet sits a treed slave looking up in gratitude. It is hoped that Mr. Depow may make the speech at the unvoiling. Cjnsnl Bruce , bearing a historic name , very appro priately gives to liberty-loving Scotia this most significant of memorials. Tlio country owes him no small debt. SON OF SLAVES. Lavvjer Kldeout'H liitnrmtiii ; : .Story of lilt riimily. Conrad A. Ridoout , Seattle's colored lawyer , has made application under the present administration to bo appointed consul to Antigua island , ono of the most important of the West India group. It was from that island , just ( IS years ago , that Rideout's grandfather , father , tw < : uncles and throe aunts were shipped aboard a slave trading vonsol to the eastern shores of Virginia. They were shackled together , as were several hun dred other unfortunates who arrived here at the same time. Rideout is a graduate of Ann Arbor. Ono of his brothers is a minister , an other a professor in a college , and his sister is a , musician of great ability. Valuable family records in possession ol his mother , who is still alive , although IK ) years of ago , are convincing proof ol the horrors of the slave pens of old. The circumstances connected with his application are of such a nature as to at tract universal attention , and should ho be named as consul to the island the event will be the first of its kind ovoi recorded in history , says the Seattle Telegraph. Hero is Rideout's story : "My grand father was for years a slave In the Congo valley of Africa. According to oin records he was not a common slave , but , on the other hand , stood well up in the estimation of the king. Once ho was put n command of the famous Hottentot ribe. Afterwards ho did something to displease the king and his life came neai paying the penalty. "In 1808 a big slave deal was consum mated and my grandfather , his sistei and hid children two boys and thret girls with ! ! 00 others , were transported to Antigua ieland. My father was thet only 3 years of age. The British slave trader who had made the deal with the king sold my grandfather and his famllj to thoScotts , who wore wealthy planters with headquarters at Liverpool. There they were kept in slavery until 18i" > when exciting rumors of an uprisint among the slaves caused many of the bit slave owners to dispose of their negroes My grandfather and his children were imrehused by the American Slave Traders , association. "My grandfather's sister , soon after her arrival at Antigua island , married a man mimed Baker , and although they are dead their grandchildren live on the Island and I understand are quite wealthy. ' [ The slave traders took my grand ' father and his children to the slave pens at Richmond , Va. , where they were sold. My father , then -0 years of ago , was purchased by relatives of ox-Governor WihO. Tlio latter is ono of my strongest endorsers for the appointment. "It was in ifi 'J ' that my father married Lucinda Shaffer , who worked on an ad joining plantation. The following year my grandfather died. All his children , with the exception of my father , had been removed to other states. " 13y working over time /other managed to buy bin freedom with that of MH ! wife and their two children. Ac cording to the laws then in existence they were compelled to cross the Ma on and Dlxon line in order to enjoy their freedom. Eighteen hun dred and thirty-seven found my father and his faintly nettled at Chllllcothe , a small town in the southern part of Ohio. 1 win born there in 1W7. in 18(11 ( my father died. My mother continues to re- .side at our old homo in Ohio , but I gue s her days are about numbered. "The fact that my people came from the island as slaves Inspires me to make an olTort to go there as consul. " Mr Hideout was the tirst colored per son to graduate from Hayesville , O. , college. Such men as United States Senator Faulkner of West Virginia , Senator Jones of Arkansas and Con gressman Bynum of Indiana have en- iorecd his application for appointment , vhich has already been forwarded to Washington. MAKING ALLOWANCES. V runner's CoiiMilrriitlon for u Clerical l'lo mm , A certain eminent clergyman , who is rrcatlv loved fo" his gentleness and for- jcaraneo with offenders , recently told a ioslon Transcript man that an experi ence of his own , in years gone by , taught lim the grace of ready excusing. When 10 was a boy he was a very poor boy , but 10 had already a strong theological jent , tinu was studying hardduring the vinter and working oven harder during , ho summer trying to got a preparation 'or college Ho wanted to bo a preacher , ind the fact that ho didn't seem to bo rood for anything else tended to convince lim that ho had not mistaken his call- ng. Ono spring ho was entirely out of uonoy and had to get out of school and go to work. Not being able to find any thing to do in the small college town where hojiad been studying , the youth call him Richard Vernon went out imong the farmers to see If he could got work from them. lie found a man who wa" very busy with his spring's work ind in a hurry to got the furrows plowed in a big field for potato planting. The weather was favorable for planting : the farmer's bjys would be homo from school the next day , which was Satur day , to do tbo dropping and covering. [ Io told Richard that he might mark out the field with the plow for the planting and if lie sult-jd lie might bo hired for two or three months. Meantime the fanner saw that the boy was very anx ious to stay and that ho had evidently a very good disposition. So the young theologian went to work with tremendous vigor. He did not stop to take breath until he had marked olT a large tract of ground with deep furrows. Then came his employer from his work in another part of the farm and looked at the boy's work , and loaned up against the fence and laughed until ho shook. The potato field had been scraped and scalloped all over with the ridiculously irregular and wabbly little ditches which Richard had turned. There was not a clean , straight furrow in the lot ; the ground looked as if an insane ele phant hud to-sed up the earth ; the fur rows wore of all depths and at all distance tance- ) from ono another , for Richard had driven the horse motof > the time at a smart walk , and ho had been too much occupied with keeping up and maintain ing a precarious grasp upon the plow handles to bo able to pay any attention to the regularity or evenness of his work. Richard Vernon laughed , too , as ho stood and looked over the Hold. Ho wiped the sweat from his brow and looked very anxious at his employe1. There was no chance for regular work there , that was evident. His laughter faded away , and there was a certain faint twitch in the corners of his mouth as the boy said : "I guess you don't want any more of my work , sir ? " "Oh. yes yes , I do , " said the farmer. "Maybo'taint your fault that the furrows are crooked. You see , the sun's pretty hot today , and T reckon the heat warped 'cm ! ' " A DlHlmllciil Sjup llntip. Indianapolis .Tourn al : "Yes , " mcdita tivoly said the bachelor to the other man "I would have been a prosy old married man like you by this time if it had not been for the meddlesome intervention of a soup bone. "Some months ago I was very much impressed with a little typewriter girl in our olllco. She was bright , pretty , had a dainty figure , and were such neat toilets that half the men in the place were daft about her. "I was too bashful to ask her if I might call on her , and one night over my late cigar I evolved a business method of suttling my fate. I would go early to the olllco next morning she was usually the first clerk down 1 would send the porter out upon an errand , and then dictate a letter to her asking her to marry me. "Wasn't that a brilliant scheme ? But she was not there , and did nwt come in until 0 o'clock. Later in the day I over heard her toll another girl what hud detained her. "The cook at her boarding house had gone out to buy meat for breakfast ; she entered the butcher shop just as the butcher , In anger , threw a soup bono at his assistant ; the cook intercepted the soup bine , was felled insensible , and , being - ing unknown to the butcher , was carried 011 to the hospital. "Tho boarders waited for their break fast , and my romantic intentions were chilled beyond roiiiscitatlon so hero I am , a dismal bachelor , the victim of u contemptible , mean , littio 5-cout soup bono. " Shu Will On. Detroit Herald : They were strolling along together when she stopped to look in at a window they were passing. "What a beautiful box of strawber ries , " she murmured in a pleased voice , "how temptingly red and luulous thav look. " "Yes , " ho answered tremblingly , "they imitate nature so close that tnoy have every appearance of being real. " "But they are real"shoinsisted ; "and see , they are dead ripe. " "It cannot be. " Ho clutched the pocket in which his empty pookotbook reposed. "No. Ethel It cannot bo possi ble that cho authorities would permit such a llagrant disregard of the health laws. " "What have they to do with fresh strawberries , the first of the season ? " "Everything. Why , dearest , every berry gleaming there is a palpable em bodiment of cholera. I would as soon you would take a dose of arsonlo as to touch ono of them. " "Rats , " murmured the sweet girl as ho dragged her out. But she went. Micd cm I.IIIIIJIK Indianapolis Journal : "Time I was out in Colorado , " said the man with thn ginger beard , "I was chased by tlio bloody Injuns Into a cave and had to stay there three months without anything tj eat. " Hero the man witli the ginger board looked around defiantly , expecting some one to doubt his assertion , out as no one spoke ho win compelled to explain. "I s'paso I would ha' starved , " ho con tinued , "if it hadn't bon fo1 my wife and fambly back east. Whenever I would git to thlnkln' of them a big lump would rise right up In throat , and by bwallerin' that I kop' mysoll from starviu' .
