" Thrilling Episode in the Life of Mrs , Emily Robertson , Anlccp on Picket Duty t'rosldciit Lincoln YleldB to a Child's Ap- pcnl Mercy That Came Too Iiato. On the 28th of March there died at Baltimore an old lady whoso romantio Ufa history portrays n sorioa of the sad dest nnd most dramatic events which could bo evolved from the brain of a ro mancer , and which also graphically illus * tratos the kind nature and noble heart ol Abraham Lincoln , sixteenth president oi the United States. In the earlier part of the year 18CU , just at the time when the great American civil conflict was at its vary height , this old lady , Mrs. Emily .Robertson , lived in Pittsburg wltli her only child , a sweat little girl aged five years. The husband and father was a private in the Northern army of the Potomao. Ono cpring morning that year the wires flashed torribl" news to this lady sitting in her quiet homo praying that God would spare her loved one anil the father of her child. The message was aignod by onu of his comrades and road : Your husband wns found sleeping whllo on picket duty lout night. Ho will bo Mint to morrow. Condition of affairs at this time in the army mich tint no nno can nave him but President Lincoln. HonKUT V. VAUfliisf. The first express train which loft Pitts- burg for Washington after that telegram had boon delivered bore a sad-faced , weep ing woman , accompanied by a rosy-chcck- od , laughing child , who could not imagine why "mamma" had started so soon on such n long journey. The next morning this lady's request to BOO Lincoln at the executive mansion mot with a perempt ory and emphatic refusal. The prcsidon ! would bo engaged with very importanl business all that day and slip could not see him until the next day. This was al ; the reply vouchsafed her to all her tears and earnest pleadings. Tn the supreme agony and importance of the moment the brokon-heartod mother forgot the pres ence of her child ; ceased to think of all else save the life she came to savo. Un noticed the little girl passed out of the open door of the apartment and strayed at will through the white house. The halls were thronged with rushing order lies and messengers. No ono paid any attention to the child until she accosted ono of the old colored hbuso servants , who was enjoying a quiet stolen nap in an ob scure , out of the way recess. "l WANT TO SEE LINCOL. " she could not spook plain she said to liim. Tno old negro .woko up ana look ed aghast with amazement. "Dar ho am honey , " ho replied , "in dot big room obor dar. But ehilo , you mustu t RO in dar , honey ; ho am inspoctin' matters an' am mighty busy. " Without another word the little girl pushed open the door of the room indicated by the aged darkoy ind entered. The president was engaged in grave and important consultation with a number of gentlemen , now dead , but whoso names will forever adorn the pages of American history. So deeply inter ested were the all that not ono of them noticed the bravo little maiden until she caught hold of the knees of the noarcst jontlomon present , and cried : "I want to see Ltncol. May I1' ? Then all eyes were turned upon the little girl ivith her face flushed , bright eyes and long , light ringlets , and Lincoln exclaimed - claimed : "Why , hello , little ono I Where did you como from ? What is your name ? " For a moment only the child was abashed , and timidly replied : "My name is 'Littlo Sweet as a Poach. " ' For a brief period ; ho interests and destinies of fifty mil- ions of people were forgotten. Every mo present laughed heartily oven in ho midst of their gloomy forebodings not only at the words of the answer , but at the accent and shy manner of the diminutive speaker. When nho prccoived ho mirth sho'had unintentionally created she cried : "That Is what papa always ailed mo before ho went with the boom- i-laddics , and mamma always tails mo hat since. Is you Mr. Lineal' ] " f'l am .ho earno man , " laughingly replied the ( resident. In a second sue was in his la } , ivith her arms aroui-d his nock and tears troaming down her cheeks. Then she old her story with a passionate outburst if childish eagerness. "Tho bad man lown stairs won't lot my mamma BOO you nd sho's down there tryin' lots of big oars and ft prayin" , but ho won't lot her um up. You can save mypapa , I know , ind you will , won't you , please , Mr. jjncol'f Please , please , please do , and I trill diva you a million tissos. Mamma vill tiss you , too , Mr. Lincol' . And I will dive you lots , and mamma says they wo worth just lots of dollars , and mamma ays you'vo dot a tind heart and can save ny pappa and will , too ; and she would > o right up hero , too , and try too , and isa you and bog you , too , if that n sty , aid ugly man would only lot hor. " And ho little girl woand her arms AUOUNl ) TUB rilKSIUKNl's NECK , cising him repeatedly and sobbing as if icr heart would break. A sad silence ell over the entire party , and there were oars on several faces. Lincoln rang a > ell , looked at his watch , and then said "Gentlemen I need ' gravely : , 'not , ak you to excuse mo for a few minutes. " Jo hastily wrote a few words on the first lioco of blank paper within his roach , ind handing it to the attendant who relied - lied to his summons , kindly caressed lie child upon his knee , and cheerily aid : "There , 'Littlo Sweet as a Poach , ' hat bad man down stairs cannot keep 'our ' mother from seeing 'Mr. Lincol' ' low. " In a few moments Mrs. llobort- > on was before the president , who still ro- ainod the little girl on his knee , She eon told , in a voice broken with emo- ion , her sad story , and showed Lincoln ho dispatch received by her in Pittsburg ho previous day. Soon all the neces sary facts were placed before the prusi- lent , and then , without a moment's hcsi- ution , ho wrote a telegram , and signed t with that wondrous signature , which lion possessed such potent power. "Quickl" ho exclaimed to an orderly as ho gave it to him , "havo that rushed .hrough at oncu. " Thou ho glanced at lifl watch ; it was cloven o'clock and the soldier was to bo shot promytly at twelve noon. "Madame , " ho gravely said to ; ho woman almost frantic with joy bo- : ere him while 'littl sweat as a peach , ' who at once comprehended the whole result , almost , notwithstanding : ho place and august company shouted with boisterous childish merri ment , "I have saved your husband. Wo iiavo fortunately un hour to spare , and ho will not bo shot. In pardoning him , I disnboy the dictates of my judgment ind comply with the promptings of my lieart , and the only reason that 1 do it is because 'Littlo Sweet as a Peach' hero begged me to do it. " And the command , cr-ln-chief of a million men kisied the I child tenderly , and dismissed both , The now exultant and joyful mother , with 'Littlo Sweet as a Pp ch , ' hastened fron the Executive Mansion to the nearest td pgraph office , where she sent the follow ing dispatch to her husband ; My darling , your Ufa ha * been unvod by our noble proxldont Thank God and him for liii great kindness and mercy. Little Sweet as t Pouch did It nil , Answer by dispatch , care ol this office , so I will fool positive you nro alive and safe. A TEiiniiiLK nu > w. After sending the above telegram , Airs. RoborUon began the seemingly long , im patient wait for the reply. She romaincc in the ofllco until tired of its surround ings , she went to the nearest candy slant on the street and purchased from the delighted - lighted Italian owner _ enough candies and cakes to keep "Littlo Sweet as a peach" sick for a whole month , Thoi she wandered aimlessly through the streets , varying matters occasionally by returning to the telegraph ollico and asking the clerk if ho had rncoivoci any reply for hor. At last , completely disheartened at the roomingly long delay , she sank down exhausted in a chair irj the ofllco , which had boon kindly placet at her disposal. She had been there only a few momenta when ho following ! tele gram wits placed in her hand : Your dlipatch to your husband just roeiv- od anil , under the clrcumntancci , I opened it I ntn very sorry to toll you that Lincoln's tel cgram came ( iftoon mfmitOH too Into.

As the poor woman gazed at this terrible - riblo message , so shocked and over whelmed by its contents that she was scarcely conscious , another dispatch was handed her , containing earnest expressions sions of sympathy and regret for the un fortunate circumstances surrounding the case , from the general who had , in stric conformity with the stern mandates o modern war , superintended the execution of her husband. While "Little Sweet as a Poach"greatly alarmed at her mother's strange and altered demeanor , cried "Mamma , mamma , what is the matter has anything happened to papa ? " she fol to the floor utterly unconscious from the terribly unexpected shock. She was a once removed to a place of safety am kindly cared for by newly made friends but it was months before she had fully recovered from the fearful shock. "Littlo Sweet as a Peach" to-day is little no longer. She is is a tall , digni Cud , beautiful young woman , living in this city. She is happily married , will a "Ljftio Sweet as a Poach" of her own , who is almost an exact duplicate of whiv her mother was at her ago , and a younj son , who rejoices in the name of Abra ham Lincoln.

Mr. Colo's lawyer iilod an affidavit in support of his position to pay for the plaintiff's board , in which ho says they wont to the Palmer house to board as soon oa they were married. At that time , ho claims , Eleanor created a great deal of uncomplimentary comment by wearing wigs and bangs of many striking colors ono day coming out in a running suit of crushed strawberry and a hair a la strawberry blonde to match , while again the predominating hues of her attire were orange , and orange bangs flu filly crowned her brow , and BO oa through the chro matic scaln. Ho remonstrated with her , but aho re torted that she would not changed the solor of her hair from the fancy hues aho jo much admired to Us natural color "for the King of Spain. " Ho packed his trunk to leave , and was about to go , when she relented and said ' 'aho would 30 arrange her wigs and bangs as to bo leas attractive in colors " Frankunpacked Ilia trunk. Ho complained bitterly that she would pay hit laundry bill , but often permitted his renovated linen to bo re turned to the Chinaman's basement rather than pay a dollar or so. The court concluded that aho ought to Iiavo $12 a week for board and pin money , saying : "If ho was fool enough to marry tier , ho ought to bo made to pay her board.

The case is very diflerent , however , when such errors nro committed by waiters and compilers who should know bettor , or who at least should have availed themselves of ma terial which must have boon within their reach. Those reflections are suggested by an examination of a late edition of a Spanish work published in Madrid , " .Encyclopedi cal Dictionary of the Spanish Language , " two vols. 4to , with supplement pp. 2489 ; now edition , vol.

Guizot , Hallam and other historiann who have written of the feudal system , says The San Francisco Chronicle , leave no doubt that the first Barons , Counts , Dukes , and many of the bishops , too , were little batter than successful high waymen , secure in their fortified castles from arrest and punishment for the crimes committed on their forays against the people indiscriminately. The most greedy of thcso medieval baronial robbers in the general collnpso of the R man Empire managed to make themselves sovereigns , founded dynasties , some of which still continue under the names of Princes , Grand Dukes , kings or emperors , as the Hapsburgs , the Guelphs or Wolfs , the Holionzollerns , and , lill a recent date , the Capets , of Franco , whoso original baronial ancestors were in morals not a whit superior to the mpro modern Claude Duvale , Jonathan Wildes and Jpaquin Mariettas of infamous memory. The main difference is that between success and failure , with the other ono that the baronial rohbors stole land while the other follows stole personal property. These laud thefts have of late years boon repeated in the United States , Canada and Australia , and with the asssistanco of legal machinery , on a larger scale than the beginnings of the old dukes , counts and barons. It took centuries of effort for the Hapsburg fellows to secure sovereignty over as much territory as three men and ono woman now pesaess in the name of the Central Pacific rail way incorporation , and , if we may credit common report , the cattle barons of Nebraska , Wyoming , Colorado , and Montana , whoso name is legion , have practically noizcd on moro land than the whole German empire contains , including Prussia. Most of them are operating "without the slightest color of right or law , " and many of thorn are unnaturalized foreigners , who respect the institutions of tins country only because of that neg lect in the administration of tholaw which tolerates such robberies. The medieval barons were supported in their lawless ness by an army of retainers knightn , squires , yeomen , and villains. These American land thieves substitute senators and congressmen for knights , governors , sherifFd , and state or territorial legisla tures for squires , and the ubiquitous cow boys for yeomen. With such an army of retainers they are secure in the possession of millions of acres , whether inclosed or not , and whoever , as settler under the laws of the country , presumes to dispute with the land thievoa is as summarily dealt wich as the honest men of the mid dle ages were by the baronial robbers.
