so appeared in the reports of several papers

HOW A PLOT TO ASSASSINATE LINCOLN WAS
DISCOVERED.
ALLockport (N. Y. correspondent of the
' New York Times tells the following extraor-
dinary story coucer-ningthe war record of the
' latelCol. Ambrose Stevens of Batavia,LN. Y.,
who died recently 1n Kentucky:
During all the time that General Dix was
in command' in New York, Colonel Stevens
occupied 'a confidential position on on his staff.
Amubllshed memoir before me says that he
was legal adviser to General Dix and judge
He was more than this. He
that the weeks were few and far apart in
which direct intelligence of importance from
the rebel capital wasVnot placed by him be-
. fore his chief. In the latter days of June
and the first days of July, 1864, with re-
markable uniformity, the spies, refugees,
V and deserters who were brought to head-
quarters had to tell of the “good news from
Niagara” which was expected at Richmond.
The place was full of vague rumors of some-
thing of the highest import to the confeder-
ate cause which was about to happen at
Niagara. So much of this kind of infor—
mation came, and kept coming, that Colonel
Stevens laid it all before General Dix, with
the opinion that it would be well to send an
ofilcer to Niagara to observe and report. He
immediately received an order to assume the
duty himself. The first express train bore
him west, and 1a due time, in plain clothes,
he Was mingling with the great swell mob of
coufederates, who were at.the Clifton House,
in eager coierencoI with northern copper—
heads, hatching together their treasonablVe
schemes.
A few days Went by. Clay, Holcomb,
and Saunders, the so-called “Peace Commis-
sinners,” made their appearance. The north-
ern press was filled with exciting and sensa~
tional rumors of dawning peace. President
Lincoln’s announcement “To whom it may
concern" was published; Horace Greeley
and Colonel John Hay came to Niagara, and
nothing came of the negotiations. Still the
“commissioners” remained at the Clifton,and
daily they were closeted with persons coming
0‘76! from the American side. It was plain
to be seen that something important was in
the wind.
Colonel Stevens had been—in fact was-a

conventions of the party, and had a large
acquaintance at the South. One day one of

The Uses of a Sand Bag.
One of the most convenient articles to be
used in a sick room is a. sand bag. Get" some
fine sand, dry it- th-oroughly' 1n a kettle on
the stove, make a bag about eight inches
square offfiann'el, fill it with the dry baud,
sew the opening carefully together, and
cover the bag, with cotton or linen cloth.
This will prever‘lt the sand from sitting out,
and will also cobble you to heat the bag
quickly by placlngiLm the oven," or even on
the top of the stove:_ After once using this
you will never again attempt to warm the.
feet or hands of' a sick Vpe n with a bottle
of hot water or a brick. 'sand holds the'
heat along time; and the chaLn be fucked

It“ 1s a good plan to make twowur three of
the bags and keep them ready for use. ..

faintest idea or Steven’s connection with the3
Union service, the “commissioner" revealed
to him the true object of himself and his
associates. It was nothing less than a con—2
spirac‘y for the assassination of President
Lincoln. All the flourish and sensation
about “peace negotiations” was a part of the
plan, and was designed to allay any pos-LV
sible suspicion as to the real object. With
the aid of northern copperheads, dozens of ,
whom they were communicating with daily, -.
and through whom they could make all of 7
the necessary arrangements, atVWashingtou,
they fully expected to accomplish their
object. It was stated substantially as fol-
lows:
“Our object is not so much to put Lincoln
out of the way as to elect McClellan, forthe
latter wilb‘ri‘ng 11‘s peace. But we are satis-
fled that the only way in which we can in-
sure the election of McClellan is to kill Lin-
coln. 'The deed will be done in the after-
noon or evening of the day before next elec-
tion day. The news will be telegraphed all
over the north the sameznight, and every
voter will know it the next morning. ’0';
coursé,L'the Republicans will be panic-strick-
en. In the uncertainty that will prevail as
to whom the Republican electors will vote
for, thousands of that party will fail or refuse
Clell'an elbbtorst will be ~chosen.- Or, if it
were possible under the circumstances, as it
is not, that a majority of the Republican
electors could be chosen,- the contest; after-L
the election among them for the choice of a
Ipresident would disorganize thm . the whole
north would be filled with strife and turbu-
lence, and the gravity of the crisis wOuld
soon compel the choice of MoCIellan.”
Colonel Stevens's informant also told him
that Dean Richmond had been sent for, and
was expected that day. He came and had
an interview-with the three. The'result of
that interview L was soon learned by the
colonel. UpOu this plot being Opened to
Mr. Richmond. he denounced it and its an-
thors in the severest terms; assured them
'i that he should have nothing to do with it;
and, further, that if they did not instantly
L"L"L promise to drop the whole business he would
publish the plot and Iall its details in the
Buffalo papers the next morning. No such
publication .ocur'red, and the inference is
that the “commissioners" agreed to desist.
L‘Back to' New York sped Stevens and report-
ed the matter to General Dix. The latter
imediately hurried to Washington, and the
intelligence that he here was deemed of suf-
ficient consequence to be considered at a
cabinet meeting. Probably to no other than
to Colonel Stevens did General Dix, who
"was present, reveal the discussions of that
meeting.- A majority of the Secretaries—
aud General Dix also—were in favor of giv-
dug the whole infamous disclosure to the
press, thinking that the indignation which it
would provoke would benefit the Union
cause. Mr. Lincoln promptly. vetoed Lthe
propositiOu. “It will, ”(he said, “do us far.
.more harm than good. It will discourage.
the weak-kneed and shaky, and make the
copperheads correspondingly plucky. ” .With-
out giving his exact language. these words

The story is truly an extraordinary one.

A home for Mother.
It is, delightful to turn _ from the too
frequently and example of dime nOVel bitter
runaway boys bringing themselves and- their
parents to grief, to. ‘a pure. picture of filial
love and duty like this. Says a letter written
from a western city:
Business called me to the United States
Land Office. ’-While there a lad apparently
sixteen or seventeen years of ago§Ca1ne in
and presented a certificate" for forty acres of
land.
I was struck with- the countenance and
general appearance of the buy, and inquired
of him for ,whom he was purchasing the
land. . . '
“For myself, sir.”
I then inquired where he. got the money.
He answered. “I earned it."
Feeling then an increased desire for know-
in something more about the boy, I asked
about himself and parents. He took a seat
and gave the following narrative:
“I am the 'oldest of the children. further
is a drinking man, and often would return
home drunk. Finding that father would not
abstain from liquor, I resolved to make an
efiort in some way to help my mother, broth-
ers and sisters. I got an axe and went into
a new part of the country:to work, clealiug
land, and I have saved money enough to buy
forty acres of land there. ”
“Well, my good hey, what are you going
to do with the land ?"
“I will work on it, build a log cabin, and
when all is ready, will bring father, mother,
brothers and sisters to live with me. The
land I want for mother, it will secure her
from want in- her old age. ”
' : «And what will you do with your father
if he continues to drink 3’”
“Oh, sir, when we get him on the farm he
will feel at home and be happy, and, I hope
become a sober man.”
“Young men, may God's blessing attend
you in your efiorts to help and honor your
father and mother. ”
By this time the receiver ‘handed him his
receipt for his forty acres of laud. As he was
leaving the Office, he said: ’ L .
“At last I have a home for my mother.”
Anecdotes-I. of Lincoln.
Mr. L. J. Cist has collected for a Cincin-
nati paper some Interesting anecdotes of the
martyred president. . In 1832, when twenty
three years old, Lincoln was induced by his
friends to run as a whig candidate. for the
legislature, and made his maiden speech, as
follows: “Gentlemen, Fellow citizens: 1
presume you know who I am. "I am humble

tariff. These are- my sentiments and political
principles. If elected I will be thankful.
If not, it’s all the same.” He was not elected
at that time. - I ' '
There resided in Springfield, in V1860, an
Irish" laborer, John Moose, by name, a red
hot democrat. Shortly after 'the presidential
election, Mr.. Lincoln was walking past the
public square, where John was at work
cleaning out the gutter. As the president-
elect drew. near, McCarty, pausing in his
work and holding out his band, said bluntly 1
“An’ so yer elected president, are ya ? Faith,
an’ it wasn't by my vote ye Wur." “Well,
yes, John,” replied Mr. Lincoln, shaking
hands very cordially, “the‘papers say I’m
elected, but it seems odd I should be when
you went against me. ” .
“Well, Mr. Lincon,” Lsaid LJohn, dropping
his voice, lest somerrother democrat should
heathim, “I’m glad you got it, afther all.

After a state election in New York in
iwhich the. Republican party- was defeated,
Mr. Lincoln was askedhow he felt after
having heard the news: He replied : “Some-
thing like the boy in Kentucky who stubbed
his toe while running to .see his sweetheart.
He said he wasito big toocry, and too badly
hurt to laugh.”
L During the spring of 1864, a friend, in
conversation with Mr. Lincoln about the
approaching presidential election, said that
nothing could‘defeat him but Grant’s capture
of Richmond, folloWed by his nomination
and acceptance. “Well, " said the president.
didn’t 'want to die particularly, but if he had
got to die, that was precisely the disease he
would like to die of.” L
In the summer of 1862 General McClellan
wrote fromthe' Peninsula 11 long letter. to the
president,giving him advice as to the general
politics of the country, and how to carry on
the affairs of the nation. “What did you
reply?” asked some one of Mr. Lincoln.
“Nothing; but it made me think of the
Irishman whose horse kicked up' and caught-
his foot in the stirrup. 'Ar'rah, ’ said he, ‘lf

who remarked, as a self important looking
individual came in and ordered a whiskey

“Yes; and I was disgusted to find they
never paid the slightest attention to me
either. Whatsurprised meImost was that,
althoughI kept the President and Cabinet
advised of everything that occurred, I never
gotthe slightest sympathy from any one of
them. I was an administration man, too, and
I thought it was blamed singular."

“That was hard. ”
“Wull, I put that all down to Lenvy and

expected that at least the.Speaker of the

“They did so ?”
“‘The only persons that met me were a

me, with the aid and assistance of the hotel

morning I got away from the bedbugs as

“Old Oaken Bucket.” “One hot summer‘s
came home to dinner from his printing office.
he being La printer (and! often saw him at.
work on an old Franklin wooden press, and
inking the form with old; fashioned balls),
'. 1 having walked the distance, there being no
' cars in those days, and, was fatigued. He
asked his wife for a glass of water, which sheL .
‘1 I—‘gave him, Vand then sat down and took her
baby on Lher Vlap, while he quafied off the .
glass of pump ‘water, which oIdV citizens will:
remember was not the sweetest in the world.
He set the glass dewn. and remarked: ‘How
lefreshiugl but I_ Would rather had a drink
from the old oaken bucket I left hanging“ 1n
my father’ s well at home.’ Mrs. Woodworth,
catching the inspiration, said: ‘WbyV, SelimL
poem." He took the hint and sat down, and.
under the inspiration of that glass of cold
water—not can do 1112, as has been said—he
.wrote his immortal song of the bucket.”

It" is strange' in Elam-6L;- '
‘ Since the day King Hamlet died.
All the hearty sports of yore,
Sledge and skate, are laid aside ,
Stilled the ancient mirth that rang,
Boisterous, down the fire-lit halls;
They have qln’te forgot to hang
Christmas holly on the walls.
Claudius lets the mead still flow
For the blue-eyed thanes that love it;
. But they head their brows above it,
And forever, to and fro,
’Round the board dull murmurs go:
“It‘ 1s strange in Elsinore
Since the day KVInLg Hamlet died.”
And aszarm of courtiers'flit,
. New in slashed and satiued trim,
With their freshly-fashioned wit,
And their littleness of limb—-
Flit about the stairw'ays wide, -
Till the pale Prince Hamlet smiles,
As he walks, at twilight tide,
Through the galleries and the aisles.
For to him the 'castle séems— L
This old castle, Elsinore—
Like a thing built up of dreams;
And the king' 5' a mask—no more- ,
And the courtiers each: but' LfiightsL
Of the painted bulterflies- , .
And the arras, wrought with fights,
Grows aliveV, before his eyes.
Lo, its giant shapes of Danes,
As without a wind it waves.
Live' more nobly than his thanes,
Sullen carpers, ale-fed slaves,
In the flickering of the fires. ‘
Through his sleep at night§there pass
Gay conceits and young desires—
Faces out of Memory’sfglass,
Fragments of the actor’s art,
Student’s pleasures, college broil’s,
Poesies that caught his heart,
Chances with the fencing-foils;
Then he listens oftentimes,
With his boyhood’s simple glee,
. To dead Yorick’s quips and rhymes,
Leaning on his father’s knee.
To that mighty hand he clings,
Tender leve that stem face charms;
All at once, the casemenl rings
As with strength of angry arms.
From the couch he lifts his head,
With a shudder and a start ;
All the fires are embers red,
And a weight is on his heart.
- Christmas eve draws hither soon ;
It is strange in Elsinore.
Underneath the icy moon
Footsteps pat the icy floor';
Voices haunt the midnight bleak,
When the wind goes singing keen;
And the sound, once kept so sleek,
Shake and whimpers and grows lean.
And the very sentinels,
TimorouIs, on the lgresome round,
Starting, count the swinging bells,
. Starting at the hollow sound,
And thejpine-trees chafe and rear,
Thonglpthe snow would keep them still.
In the state there’s :somewhat ill;
It is strange in Elsinore. —Sm'bner’s
