THE OMAHA JATTAr MIGHTY FIGURE IN HISTORY The Illustrious Lincoln , His Responsibilities and Obligations , SKETCHED BY A STEADFAST FRIEND Unbounded Confldi-nce In ( Icnernl < lrnnt- The Drenm of n Soldler-llrnrhiB 1'rom .llmmle Snvcil \ > J -Cnmpllro Tnlei. The recent mltlresa of Colonel A. K. McCluroof thoPlillndoltihtii Times be fore the Now York eomnmmk'ry of the Loyitl legion upon the record of Abrnhum of the Lincoln us coinmundoi-in-chlef Union armies during the late war , Jirc- sonta the Illustrious provident In a his torical light Unit to many people is as unfamiliar as it IH interesting. TtVBH not only as president In the ordinary Honso of Iho term , to make ap pointments , to consider pending legisla tion , to do the merely routine work of an administration , that ho exercised his magisterial functions , mys the Wash ington 1'ost. It was as a chief magistrate upon whom { Involved weightier and moro Holemn responsibilities than over fell to any of his predecessors , and who was duly Im pressed with the sense of his mighty ob ligations , that he most distinguished himself , and. as the careful student of the history of the great conflict will llnd , mnst'commended himself to the lasting admiration and gratitude of his countrymen. At the outbreak of the war he had no particular plan of campaign , but placed confidence in General Scott as the master mind for the occasion. The discovery was soon made , however , that by reason of atie. and infirmities , and inexperience in the handling of great armies , General Scott was not equal to the omet gency , and thenceforth Mr. Lincoln himself came to the front with the authority In vested in him by his olllce , to assume control of military operations , not only in the f-eleetion of his generals , but In an advisory capacity as to the move ment of troops and shaping of cam paigns. As Colonel McClure states It : "From the time that Lincoln called McClollan to Washington lie tenaciously exorcised his high prerogatives as coinmandor-in- ohiof of the army and navy until the 8th of March , IHO I , when he handed to General - oral Grant his commission as lieutenant general. " Whether he was always right in his judgment ho was always prompt and aggressive. Whenever ho seemed to bo in the wrong ho made ready admis sion of his error , as ho did to Grant in July. ISiilt , after the Bill-render of Vicksbnrg , when , in reference to a previously expressed opin ion that Grant slmuld have moved dilTerently , he said in his letter of thanks : "I now wish to make the personal acknowledgment that yon were right and I was wrong. " Mr. Lincoln never nought to enforce his authority in an arbitrary orolVensivo manner , but ho had no hesitation in frankly criticising whatever ho held to bo the faults or blunders of his subordi nates , and in the main the accuracy of his plan of campaign was demonstrated by results. How patiently and yet mag nanimously lie bore himself in his often strained relations to General McClollan , how wisolj ho endeavored to steer clear of the political obstructions that inter fered for a time with the harmonious conduct of the war , how the weight of the misfortunes of Pope , Burnsido and Hooker pressed upon him without dimin ishing the sublimity of his faith in the final outcome , how trying to him Fcemed the inaction of Mc- Clollati after Antictam , and even of Mcado after Gettysburg , are all described by Colonel McClure in plo qucnt and graphic terms. Hut the time was at hand when ho was to bo relicvei of his tremendous burden. A man was at last available in whom ho had su preme trust. It was the Silent Man o the West who brought him welcome i-O' lief and "gavo the republic unity and peace. " To use the language of Colonel MeClurc : "This brings us to the 8th of March , 18(1-1 ( , when Lincoln and Grant met for the ilfbt time in the white house and Lincoln personally delivered to Grant hi commission as lieutenant gen eral. Immediately thereafter ho wj.s assigned as comnmndor-in-ohiof of the army. From that day Lincoln practically abdicated all his powers as commnndor-in-chief , so far as they related to army movements. Ho had found a commander in whom he had implicit faith , and one who wan fully in accord with his theory that the over throw of Leo's army would bo the over throw of the rebellion , and Lincoln did not conceal his purpose to impose the entire responsibility en Grant. In a letter - tor written to Grant April 30. 1801 , just before Grant's movement In the wilderness campaign , Lincoln said : ' "Tho particulars of your jilnn I neither know nor neoli to know. You are vigilant and self-reliant , and , pleased with those , I wish not to intrude any constraint or restraint upon you. ' Lincoln not only meant what ho bald , but he fulfilled his promise to the oiid. How heartily ho was in accord with Grant Is known to all. There was never a military or personal dispute be tween them , and Lincoln felt more than Eatlslied with the wisdom of his appoint ment of Grunt when ho received from the desperate carnage of the wilderness the inspiring dispatch : ' 1 propose to fight It out'on this line if it take = all summer. ' " A Scilillor'H Drinin , A writer in the Contributors' club in the Atlantic vividly describes a dream that came to him when a half famished soldier on a forced march : "Soothed by the recking motion of my horse , 1 fell asleep , notwithstanding the must stren uous otTorts to keep awake. Soon my hungor-haunted brain found rest and re freshment in such dreams as came. I dreamed of food. Through the weary raid wo had all of us dreamed of little else , and wo woke to llnd the unsatistled longing still persistent , and that the hopes popular tradition had hold out to usthat our hunger might bo blurred with hickness were not to be realized. "I had supposed that a famished man , in the prime of his youth , abandoned wholly to his own imaginings , 'his helm of reason lost , ' as Young says , would revel in a dreamland flowing-with milk and honey , he might even bo pardoned for repeating in thought such robust feasting * as that wherewith the Saxons ushered in the morn at Hastings. Hut no , it would seem as though a peculiar sense of loneliness pervaded our hunger-stricken bodies as well as our minds , for our dreams were usually of homo and kit dred , of cheerful llrosldes and mos- frugal suppers. 1 do not recall eating in these Harmecido fensls anythingmoro substantial than the smoked beef and llapjacka of a Now Knglnml tea. Some- tiling Binnll , neat and tasty was what the boys wished when hunger had tamed the liger and reduced the llesh. Many told me , with grim humor , that they dreamed of pickles and codfish oaUs , and 1 know thut bread and mo- n fnrorlto vlnntl among tlio starving uk-i-pora of Qoorgo Crook's army. "On tlits particular Oceanian I litiel no sooner lost consrlousnetis of present sur roundings than I found mycolf sealed nt n farm house ten table , before n Luctil- lltin banquet of hot bluoult , pcnoh preserves - servos , I think , ami apple butter , this last being a favorite 'condiment' JthL looal word.at ) u Virginia llresldo. The rosy faces around tlio table htul Riven 1110 such joyous welcome as dreams and strangers give always and frlonelssomo- times. 1 passed slowly from this ficcno and entered another , which was but a reminiscence ; the whole Incident of my being wounded at Antlotlm and nursed at a farniihouso hard by was-Jre-cnuetcel In my mind with a vividness and a celerity that were llko the magic illusions con ferred upon the hashheesh eater. 1 saw the torn roof which a cannon ball hud torn just over my head , as 1 lay. tranced with imln and stiff with blood , in a log building near the house ; and ono sight , too startling to relate , awoke me all qui vering and weak. Looking around , 1 beheld - hold what caused mo to clutch my horse's inane for a moment with something like error. There was the very scene f my dream in vivid reality leforo mo 1 There were the IOUMJ , the fence , still lacking the ails which hud inudu our camp lire two ears befeiro ; the familiar bridge ; the urn in the road that brought us to the jreok that two years before had run red vith the bleiod of thousands of men. lurriedly I leaned forward and asked u legro sitting on u fence ( it was yet early jvening ) whore wo were.Vo were ! in- leed passing eiver the Held e > f Antietain , vhii'h had bee-n hulled us our lirst vie- eiry over the enemy mid the- greatest juttlo over fought on this continent. It vus all peaceful now. Two crops had ji-own over the ono that wo trampled lown , and looking at the tall shocks of corn I unconsciously repeated the line : How that red rain bus maele the liar- ! " " vest grow from .llmmli- . The man on the cot to my right in the hospital had been wounded by a frag- nent of shell , and for the first three or 'our days the surgeons said ho had a liv- ng chance. Then there was a change for the worse , and ono afternoon the .nirsc told him that his hours were num bered. Two or three times a day ho had asked if any letter had come for him , and one night I had heard him talking ibout " .limmie , " and praying that ho might live to see him again. I said to myself tjiat Jiinmio was the boy baby ho had left behind him when ho marched away to the front , and 1 hoped for the letter almost as much as ho did. That day , during an hour when ho sutTorcd a bit less than usual. I figured with him about his expected letter. It would go down to his regiment and follow him back to the hospital , and he had not given it enough time , it might possibly como on the afternoon the nurse feel ingly notified him that his hours were hurrying away , but he could surely ex pect it by next day noon. "Has my letter come ? " ho asked , as ho looked up at the nurse , who was a man but yet had tears in ills eyes. "No letter for you.1 "Then 1 shall not die tonight. I must hear from.limmio first. The letter will como tomorrow. " It was a strange thing to witness that man lighting death away fighting to gain a few hours moro tlmo. They said ho could not live till midnight , but they did not know what was giving him strength to fight on. When that horn came he was whispering a prayer. When stinriro came the mark of death was on his face , but his eyes fairly blazed with determination. Ho lay where lie could see the clock , and for the last three hours of his life he. never lost sight of the hands marking the hours and minutes which carried him nearer and nearer the shore of the dark i Ivor. Ho must have lived a lifetime ii. those hours. As both hands pointed to high noon ho whispered to mo : "It is noon and the mail is hero , shall hear from Jiinmio before I die ! " Five minutes later the nurse brought him the expected letter , mailed from a New England village. "Read it , and toll mo of Jiraraio , ' ' sail the dying man. The nurse opened the letter and rcac ; a few lines and handed it to mo and went away witli pale face and tcarfu eyes. It was a letter from a sister. The dying man was a widower and Jiinmio was his only child a boy It years old who had been left in her care. Jimmit was dead and buried drowned , she said by falling into an open cistern. Hai that letter come to him at the front 1 would have broken his heart. "Well , tell mo of Jiinmio , " feaid the dying man , as I laid the loiter down. "Ho is bettor off , " I finally answered "Dead ? " "Yes. " "Thank God ! I shall bo with him this very day. It is good news glorious news ! God knows what is besl ! " Then ho eloped his eyes , clasped his hands logelhor , and death came so qui etly that wo knew it not. Savcil liy 11 Kl * ti. "I was lieutenant colonel of a Ken tucky cavalry regiment , " continued Colonel John C. Underwood of Ken tucky , while relating a story to a IJoslon Glebe leporler : "Our command was in east Tennessee , and one bright moon light night I concluded to take a ride away from camp and lake a look about the vicinity. I rode bev- eral miles , and coming to a farm house , hitched my horse and knocked at the door. A young woman , the mi'st beautiful I had over .scon , it seemed to mo , appeared after a while and invited me in. She and her aged molher were the only occupants of the house , the men of the family being in the confederate army. Wo chatted pleasantly for a few minutes , when my fair hostess a > "osn and said : 'Colonel , you ran a great risk in leaving your horse in such an exposed posilion ; Iho Yankee pickets are all about us. 1 will go and put him in the barn. ' "She left the room and after a few minutes returned , when wo resumed our conversation. Suddenly she started up and listened. 'C > lonol , you must go now , ' site exclaimed. 'I hear the sounds of horses' hoofs ; the federals are com ing ! " Hushing out of doors she led my horse tj the back of the house , and 1 , following her , jumped on his back. The most natural thing for me to have done would have been to set spurs to him and get away as soon as possible. Hut I could not. I was young and impressionable and the situation was entrancing. The moon shed a silvery light upon the earth , a gentle bree/.e w..s stirring and Iho rustle of the leavein the grand old trees was like music to my buul. And amid these enchanting surroundings a beautiful face with tearful eyes looked up into mine , buseeeiTlng me to hasten. 1 could not resist the temptation , and , btooping down from myhorse , jm * my arm around her , drew her closer to my bide and kissed her. "As I did bo a shower of bullets passed over my head. 1 was in full bight of a comjiany of federal horsemen. My horse realized the danger as well as I , and a race for lifeensued. . The enemy pressed hard upon me for a lime , and more than once their bullets grazed my head , but fortune favored me , and I at length reached the confederate lines in safety.

"I never saw moro glorious conduct him Hint displayed In these two in- tances , by two youths In their teens , ono vearlng tno blue and Iho other the gray. " aid Secrolnry of the Navy Herbert to a Washington Star reporter. "The first vas In the second day's fight. My regi- nont had charged right tip among the ; uns of a union battery , whose men , , and torses had nearly all been killed. There vns ono gun to which four horses had jcen attached. The two rear horses uid been shot down in harness. 1'ho two leaders were apparently inhurt andon one of Ihom sat a lad , head erect , vigorously plying his whip on the other horse and striving to save lis gun. Ho was devoting his whole soul to that purpose , utterly unmindful ) f our men , who were surging about him. He was literally like the Casabi- mca of the flaming deck. I could have touched him with my sword , and was | ust about to beg him lo BUI- i-omicr when shots rang out from behind mo and ho dropped from Ills horse , dead as ho fell. Ho might have saved himself , but ho seemed determined to save that gun or die. It was sublime , but 1 can never think of it without a shudder at the horrors of the sacrifices of Unit war. The other instance was on the third day. in the height of the terrific artillery duel that- was pre liminary lo Iho great charges. Our men were in line awaiting the word to ad vance. In front of us , riding deliber ately up and down the line , was a hand some youth in gray , mounted on a ilect- looking iron gray horse and bearing a bright new battle flag , whoso vivid stars and bars shimmered in the sun light. The boy sat erect , looking as proud as any Uuperl and his horse as spiriled as an Arabian. The flying bul lets and bhrleklng shells never fazed his superb bearing as ho redo to and fro up and down the long lino. Now and then lie would disappear In Illicit clouds of powder smoke , but ho would bo seen again riding back , his face actu ally beaming with what O'llaro calls "Uie ardor of the light. " Ueforo the word came to move ho had gone down Iho line and had not returned. I never knew whether ho was killed or not ; but I thought invol untarily of how that Yankee boy had died the day before. These were indel ible pictures caught in a gleam of light in shifting battle smoke , and have al ways been lo mo anything but counter feit presentments of northern and southern courage. Uniliinnti'd by Presentiment. One veteran had finished a story be fore the members of the Old Soldiers' club , says the Detroit Free Press , when the sergeant shoved his soap box for ward from the line and asked to be heard. "I notice , " said ho , "in the newspapers hero lately that there is some talk about a man being a coward in a light , or rather , if being afraid when a batllo Is about to como olT is a sign thut a man is a coward , and it re minds mo of an experience 1 had in the army that marched from Atlanta to the sea. There was everyin dicalion Ihat a big light was on , and for some reason 1 got the shakes. I don't know why , but I felt sure that I was going to be killed , and had been feeling that way for live or six days. Just before we were ordered forward ono of our men was detailed to go to the rear on a job that was considered per fcclly safe , and 1 was crazy lo got at him and swap places with him. I never had felt that way before , but this tlmo would have given all my back pay and future hopes for that man's place. I3nt I couldn't get it and I went forward to death , as I thought , while ho went back lo safety. It was a hot light , and somehow I don't know just libw , I went at it ham mer and tongs , and when it was done I had made a record Ihat put Iho ser geant's nlripes on my arm , a-id I didn't have Iho skin oven marked. Now , was I a coward , or was it Iho natural and proper fear a man should have ? " and the borgcant waited for an answer. "That ain't so much of Interest , " said the veteran , "as what became of the fel low that went to the rear. " "Oh. I almqft forgot him , " replied the fc'ergeanl. ' 'After llio fight was over we found him at his post all tore to pieces wllh a shell Ihat hud passed clean over the heads of us that weso in the thick of Iho fight.

And look at the clothes that are washed with Pearline. They're brighter , and fresher , J too. They haven't been Jj rubbed to pieces on the wash board. They may be old , but they don't show it.

[ Abridged from aXe > VFpaper Interview , The Chicago Kens llenml , Oct. 1,18W. ] I'lvo months ngo I was taken with terrible pains In my fide niul back. 1 called In my family phjelclan , who lias eloctoml mo for twenty-five years , llo mill I had tclutlc rheumatism , Ho doctore'd mu until I wag disgusted. Then I cnllcil In n honuvopathlst. He put me through ncoun-e of cleclrlcnl trrntmcnt two shocks a day and lots of pills mill medicines besides , lie iliil me no good. Then I rent to St. Louis anil got n ineillcina that claimed to cure rheumatism. II cost J3.JO a linttle. nml I took n gallon nnd n li.'ilf , but It Uuln't tlo a bit eif good. Then I tried moral so- callcd rheumatic cure ? , made In New York , Chicago and the Lord knows where else growing \\orec all the time , until In my despair I turned again to tlio doctor ! , who paid there roulil lie no cure , but for po il > lc relief tliey iulluil me to try n change of cllaiate to go somewhere near tail water. Finally , I Marled to try tlic talt water climate at Hranford , on I.on ; ; Island Sound. Oh' I was In a terrible condition Unit double. When I grit there I was n sight for gods and men and was fullering torlurcs beyond description In a literally hope-lean cotiilllion had been gnins from the bad lo the terrible for nearly three awful mouths. I put up with n uiiin imned I.ountbury , who helped me into the house and I got to bed pomehow , mtlering so that I waute-d to die. Jlr. l.otinsbury said there was no use for me to suffer that ho could cure me right away. The way he talked gave mo a little hope , lie jpivo men dote of nil agreeable tort of i-tulT , and I tiirni-d o\er on my pillow , wondering If 1 had struck another disappointing crank. In a little while I was con- eclous of a feeling of relief and restfuluecf. 1 found that ho was giving mo Atli-lo-plio-ro . He kept nt mo with It , arid I improved tteadlly , until 1 had used two bottles. Jly pains all left nut ; I eould walk erect ns well as c er. Etcr einco thin t o months ago I ha\efclt as wcllasninan lan , and I'm a walking and talking advertltriiient of Ath-lo-pho-ros. Since 1 got home Ho rund a friend of mine with it , who had rheumatism terrlhly. I talk It everywhere. I'd like to take the medicine to every one on earth w ho has any form of rheumatism. It's the greatest medicine that c\cr was put Into a bottle.
