Mrs. Lincoln “Fixed Up” the President- elcct to Meet a Delegation. “When Lincoln was First Inaugurated,” in the March Ladies’ Home Journal, Stephen Fiske writes interestingly of the memorable journey from Springfield, Illinois, to the National Cap1lal, and tells Of Mrs. Lincoln’s efforts to have her husband look presentable when receiving a dele- gation that was to greet them upon reaching New York City. “Th-e train stopped,” writes Mr Fiske, “ and through the windows im- mense crowds could be seen; the cheer- ing drowned the blowing Ofl' steam of the locomotive. Then Mrs. Lincoln opened her hand bag and said: “ ‘Abraham I must fix you up a bit for these citv folk.’ "Mr. Lincoln gently lifted her upon In narrating the seat before him , she parted, combed and brushed his hair and arranged his black necktie. “Do I look nice now, mother?” he affectionately asked. “Well you ’ll do, Abraham,” replied Mrs. Lincoln critically. So he kissed her and lifted her down from the seat, and turned to meet Mayor Wood, court. ly and suave, and to have his hand shak- en by the other New York Officials.” Figures of Merit.

A Speech In Its Favor by Senator Elect Wellington of Maryland. BALTIMORE, Feb. . 26. -Senator Elect Wellington, speaking at the dinner of the Old Town Merchants and Manufacturers' association, announced that he was in fa- vor Of the arbitration treaty. He said: “I always believe in having an opinion on questions concerning the country and in having backbone enough to stand up and proclaim it. I am in favor of arbitra- tion and think it well that the nations are turning their :backs on war. War is of no advantage. It is a relic of barbarism and has brought us the greatest evils we have. When there is a difference between nations, the difference should be settled on principles of justice and equity, not on the principle of might. “From war arose that greatest abomina- tion, human slavery. By war our hu- man slaves ware freed. But such situa- tions as brought about war in the past' are disappearing. For that reason we are turning to arbitration as another means of settling our differences. In our history as a nation we have had four wars, two of which Were unnecessary. The Revolution- ~ary war was justifiable. The second war with England was unnecesasry. SO was the Mexican war. A gentleman wrote of this war, ‘Cause of the war, Texas; re- sult Of the war, taxes.’ “Then comes the civil war, which was justifiable, because, like the Revolutionary war, it was for human freedom. It dem- onstrated above peradventure the fact that America could govern herself. But after that war came the best demonstra- tion of the need of international arbitra- tion. We demanded of England satisfac- tion for destroyed American commerce during that war, and in the conference at Geneva America won and gained her great- est victory. Therefore I say the arbitra- tion treaty is right, and I will support it. It is the triumph of this dying Democratic administration’s diplomacy. There can be no gain in war between two great na- tions. Today our flag waves over Amer- ican citizens who have but one thought, one religion, and that is that the leaven of American freedom should go out over the world. ” THE DIAMANT IN PORT.
