Stumon’s Opinion oi Lincoln, in which the Lulu-r Concurred. Among all the sturdy heroes of the war who were mentioned in speech and song at the late reunion of the Grand Army all mention of Eil win Stanton, Linccln’e Secretary of W'fir, was: omitted by orator-s and writers. An an evidence of the high esteem in which he was held by the Prcsident, it is related that during the early part of the war the western men, as they wore then oalled,had epoor opinion of the fighting qualities of the men of the east, and,headed by Owen Lovejoy, of Illinois, devised a. scheme which they thought would prove this theory and be atthe some time of immense service to the army in the east. Armed with all the details of the plan a. committee headed by Lovejoy proceeded to Washington, and, calling upon Presi- dent Lincoln, unfolded to him the wonder- fulacheme of transferring 50,000 eastern troops to the army of the west, and sup- plying their plaees with on equal number of western men. Their eloquence and glauaible arguments convinced the Presi- ent to the extent that he gave them an order to Secretary Stanton to carry outthe details of the plan as proposed. 0n enter- ing Stanton’s oflice he was found busily engaged in writing, and without looking up he desired to know the object of their visit. Lovejoy explained the («charms as he had bafore done to the President, but was met with}. flat {(9quan byi the_ fieoretary. " But we have the-President’s oréer, sir," said_]_l{o_ve_joy. _ “ Did Lfinooln give you an order of that kind ?” quom Stanton. ' “He did, sir.” “ Then he is a. (1â€"6 fool,” said the irate Secretary. “ Do you mean to any the President is a. dâ€"d fool? " asked Lovejoy, in amazement. “ Yes, sir ; if he gave you such an order as that.” The bewildered Illinoisimn hated: him- self at once to the President and related the result of his conference. “Did Stanton any I was a. (1â€"6 fool? ” asked Lincoln at the close of the recital. “ He did, air; and repeated it.” With than peculiar fanaway look for which the President was noted, he looked up after 9. moment’s pause and said :A find I.il!'-ElirII0I‘Y M a 0mm.

Sm: gave hcr mime as Maria Lewis. and said that she was 51 years old. The woman‘s ‘history is a remarkable one. Years ago she was the acknowledged belle of asmall village near Brunswick, Ma, her father being a well- to-do farmer. When she was 17 she was married to an estimable young man, and for a few years their wedded life was not an unhappy one. Both husband and wife, however, were afflicted by ‘ almost ungovernable tempers, and after a time their dis- ‘ putes became so violent as to make their life together unbearable. Fifteen years ago they separated, five children having been born of their union. Of these the two oldest stayed with their father at Bruns- wick, While the thrr e youngest were brought by the mother to B .vston. Finding the little ones a burden to her after a few months, the Wife placed them in an orphan asylum, and their present whereabouts are unknown. For the next ten years the unhappy woman drifted from place to place, homeless and friendless. Her hus- band some years ago came to Boston, Obtained a divorce, and was married again. Her two oldest sons also came to this city, where they began a successful business career. Neither they nor their father knew where their mother was. About a year ago she was taken with a desire to see her relatives again, and, as she expressed it, “ to die at home and amongst her kind- red.” Accordingly she journeyed to Bruns- wick and made herself known to her rela- tives. She met with such accld reception, however, that she stayed but a short time. Coming back to Massachusetts, she went to the, Tewkebury slmehouse, where she remained until wilhin a. month 24g). Then she went to Brunswick again, hoping that thistime her family would take pity on her destitute condition. Again she was coldly received, and after a few days it was intimated to her that her welcome was worn out. Sorrowfully the returned to Boston on the steamer which arrived here this morning. The poor woman says that on the trip she was several times on the verge .of jumping oVerbcard, but “ the water looked so cold ” that she was afraid. Arrived in Boston I«)he at once made her way to the Charles River, where she threw herself into the Water, determined to end her existence. An hour after her rescue from death her oldest son was informed of her condition in the hope that he might do something for his unfortunate mother. Although in well-to-dc circumstances, he sternly refused to do anything, even to see the poor woman. who will be sent to some 4, institution by the authorities. - “ If Stanton said I was a. (1â€"6 fool than I must be one, for he is nearly always right and generally save when; he means. I will step over and see him.” This he proceeded to do, and Stan- ton convinced him in a. few mo- ments that the plan proposed would be taken as an insult by the whole east. Her soldiers would stop enlisting end her capitalists withhold the solid assistance they had been previously furnishing the north, thus adding largely to the confidence which the President had previously reposed in himâ€"Denver News.

The imperial edict on the subject was published yesterday. ‘As herein stated, it is issued by the Sultan in his character as caliph and protector of the "Sheriat" (sacred law), of which the dress fashions in vogue with the Turkish women of the present day are stated to be serious infrac- tions. Thick muslin folds are to be worn in place of the gauze veils with which “ Safy-ghul” and “ Fatima”have been in the habit of so softening the contours of their faces as to dwell in the memory of the wandering Ghiaour, dazzled by the lightning flashes from their large, dark eyes, as escaped “ houris ” from the Mohammedan paradise. The disfiguring “ feridjee " is no longer to be gathered in at the waist or out low at the bosom to show the Parisian dress underneath, and the neat French bottines are to give place to the hideous looking “ yemenees," the baggy boots of yellow or red leather worn by the women in the Provinces where foreign fashions have not yet made their way. This year it; is the style of dress which comes in for condemnation. The “yash- mak " its considered too diaphauoue, the “feridjee ” ineuffioxently form-destroying in its out and the feet coverings far too shapely. The articles in question in their present style are looked upon as so many snares set to catch the eyes of the unwary, and the “fair lights of the harem ” are bldden to lay them aside under the penalty of incurring very disagreeable treatment at the hands of the pelice. No doubt this edict Wlll be duly blazoned forth by the enemies of the Sultan as an indication of the reactionary principles by which his foreign and domestic policy is ‘ alleged to be ruled. There is, however, 1 really nothing in it, and I don’t suppose for i a moment it will have any perceptible effect ‘ in changing the dress of the women. The fair sex generally manage to have their own way, even in Turkey, where they are supposed to be held in such subjection, and I still expect to see neatly shod feet and transparent veils whenever I find myself at any‘ of the favorite resorts of the Turkish ladies. It is the wives and favorites of the wealthy class that have gone in to such an extent for dress “a In Frank-a,” and with these ladies the police will not dare to in- terfere. Not so long ago the Turkish ladies were forbidden to appear in Para, but the streets of that suburb are now more crowded than ever with their carriages, especially on Friday. when a block occasionally occurs that would not disgrace a fashionable promenade in London or New York as far as duration is concerned. The “ Sweet Waters,” the lovely valley of the “ Golden Horn,” was also interdicted at one time, but the Turkish ladies soon managed to render the prohibition a dead letter, and during the past spring the Mussul'man women appeared there in greater force than ever, wandering about among the heterogeneous crowd of sightseers with the ‘ utmost freedom. Thus it ie that as sure as the Ramazan comes round, before it has dragged half through its weary length there is certain to he an edict issued by imperial authority directed against some prevalent practice or the other thought to be incompatible with a due observance of the Islamic faith. One year in is the nightly visits to the “cafe ehantante” of l’era in which the soul of Young Turkey takes such delight, against which the shafts of religion are directed by the secular authority, and the next in is the growing tendency of the Turkish ladies to ape the appearance of their Frackieh sietcrs which becomes the mark for such action. As the last Remszan, with admirable im- pertiality reproof was delivered eli round, and while the men were admonished for their non-attendance at meique during the day the women were informed that a long curl straying over the shoulder with a fringe upon the forehead was not the proper eter of coifiure for a. Museuiman lady. The police were strictly enjoined to watch the conduct of the “ faithful,” to see in the one case that no neglect was shown to the " muezzin’s” call.and in the other that no exposure of charms took place iilzely to attract the attention of man from he higher thoughts to which his mind ehonld be given.

The warm season is the season of duels. While gentlemen shoot each other with pistols or pierce each other with swords,‘ the common folk settle their troubles in their own way.

The one swung his dreadful weapon straight at the head of his antagonist, but the latter skilfully avoided the blow, and then in his turn he swung his hammer and crushed the head of his rival. He got the girl. In the Crimea two Tartars quarrelled on account of their common sweetheart, and they agreed to settle their troubles in their own way. Without anv artificial weapons, they met each other as bucks do, striking each other with their foreheads. They made half a. dozen rounds; blood flowed from both ofi them, yet neither of the’ Tar- tars would‘yield. After another furious round, one of them fell down exhausted.

IIOURIS RE PROVE I). VOL. Two Queer Russian Duels. Just then an excited life insurance agent asked permission to speak a. few words to Dr. Donlin. The dead man had been insured in his oompny, and wife No. 2 held the policy. Wife No. 1 had already put in her claim to the money. Dr. Dcnlin was speechless in the presence of such an untoward difficulty. The insurance agent brought his superior experience to bear upon the subject. At his suggestion, greatly to the relief of the physician. it was agreed that Dr. Donliu should issue the board or health certificate of death to wife No. 2, with the understanding that the policy should not be paid until it was legally settled which wife was entitled to It. This arrangement looked as if it would be eatisiactory to all parties, and Dr. Don- lih was picking up renewed courage, when the two rival undertakexs, representing respectively wife No. 1 and wife No. 2, came forward each to press his particular claim to take charge of the body. Dr. Donlin and the insurance agenttried to explain matters, but this was the hardest task of all.

Lively Times m n Knights-Templnre’ Gathering. A San Francisco telegram Eeys: Religious services under the auspices of the Knights- Templars were held in the pavilion this (Sunday) afternoon. There was a. terrible crush, 8,000 persons being in the building, and 4,000 outside, who continued to make every effort to obtain entrance. Although a. large police force was present, they were unable to control the crowds, the greater number of oflioere being employed in carry- ing ofl fainting women and children. The interior of the payilion was so hot that before service was half over the people com- menced streaming out,;thenkful to have escaped being crushed to death. Twice too many tickets were issued. A neat looking matron, with two hand some children, stepped forward. She said that she was the lawful wife of the de- ceased Isaac Howell; that she was married to him ten years ago, when he was only 18 years old. She had borne him two children, the two present. She and her husband had lived together in Newark up to one year ago, when he left her to come to this city to procure employment. They had lived happily together, anal he had sent her remittances every week, enough to support herself and children. These reâ€" mittances were continued up to the week before his death. She never suspected that he was false to her, as he had always been a good husband and a good father. She did not know that he was living with another woman in this city until ashort time before, when she arrived at the hospisal, and then met a woman who claimed to be his wife. afieDr. Donhn is a bachelor, and he was about starting out to consult some ex- perienced family man, when he was inter- cepted by wife No. 2. She had her child with her. She said she wanted a death certificate so that her undertaker could remove the body to her home in Msczlougzil street. The dilemma was one that em» barrassed Dr. Donlin. Mr. Hill. the Police Magistrate at Niagara. Falls, Out, has sent the following letter to Capt. J. Rhodespf Buflglo, N.Y.: Sm,â€"â€"I see by paragraphs appearing in l the newspapers from time to time that you contemplate attempting to swim the whirl- pool rapids below Niagara Falls. I beg to notify you and all others that you will not be permitted to carry out your mad project if you attempt to take to the water from the Canadian shore. I presume the Ameri- can authorities will also take precautions to prevent a repetition of the Capt. Webb disaster. From what you are reported to have said about the rapids and your plan of operations, you evidently know nothing about the former. Your attempt to reach your lifeboat as you propose, if it were pos- sible to moor one at the point indicated, would be far more impracticable than to board a railway train going at 30 miles an hour. It humanity would be benefitted in any way by the sacrifice of other lives in this kind of experiment, it might be well to accept your offering. Capt. Webb was not prevented from taking his fatal swim be- cause no one supposed for a. moment that he would undertake what was proposed. pr that the result has proved the ex- istence of this new kind of insamty, the Ontario police at this point will see to it that fresh victims of the malady are cared for.

When Dr. Donlin arrived at the hospital the Superintendent, who seemed to be inepuzzled'frame of mind, said, “Doctor, here’s acase that calls for the wisdom of Solomon to settle.” Dr. Donlin began to look anxious. “ Yes," continued the Superintendent, “ the case I refer to is even more complicated than the one which taxed the ingenuity of Solomon. Here are two women, each claiming to be the only original widow of a man who died here this morning. I wish you would look into it.

No More Rnpids' Swimming. RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1883 “ Certainly we will try him for murder when the case comes before us,” said Asst. Dist. Atty. Charles F. Warwick, although the trial would probably be a farce unless it was clearly proved that the boy’s mind was feeble and he was incapable of delib- erately planning crime or had not reached what, Blackstone calls the age of dis- cretion, which is usually fixed at 7 years. “Under the old civil law," said Mr. War- wick, “ this was fixed at seven years. This code, which we derived from the Romans, divided the stages of human responsibility into three periods. First, there was the age of infancy extending up to seven years. Next there was that of puertia, which ex- tended until the fourteenth year. Then there was that of puberty, which extended from the fourteenth year upward, During the first or infantile stage no one could be punished for any crime. After the seventh year, however, they were held to have reached the age of discretion and to be amenable to the law. The laws in regard to capital crimes, which we derive from our Anglo-Saxon ancestry, are still more circumspect in regard to punishment of crimes by minors. As a rule a long line of decisions insist that reason and under- standing do not begin to develop until 12 years have been reached, but it is recog- nized in numerous instances that while an infant, as cbzldren under 7 years of age,can not be guilty of felony, after a child has 1 passed that period he may be tried and ‘ convicted and executed for a capital crime. Hale’s Pleadings of the Commonwealth and Blackstone contain numerous pre- cadents. Of course in all such cases it must be definitely ascertained that the child possessed full reasoning powers and that the felony was deliberately planned and executed, and that he was in no sense irresponsible. It is on record in the old reportsâ€"I am sorry Ihave' not them at hand just now,” said Mr. Warwick-“ that a girl of 14 was burned to death for killing her mistress, and I remember in my read- ing that a boy of 10 years suflered death on the public scaflold for killing another youth of 9. Since the time of Edward 111., the thirteenth century, it has been held that the capacity of evilAdoers shall not be measured so much by years as by under- standing. To illustrate I’ll cite scene which this Trodden affair has recalled to my memory,” said Mr. Warwick, as he took down a law back and g anced at it for amcment. "In 1629, at the Arlington Assizes, John Dean, Jretween the ages of 8 and 9 years, «the age of this Trodden boy, by ' the way, was indicted, arraigned, and found guilty and sentenced to death for having burned several barns. Malic‘e Tantfied into ‘th’t’ case and he was hanged. At the Burg Assizes in 1748, William York, aged 8 years â€"â€"â€"Trcdden’s age, tooâ€"was .convicted of killing a girl 5 years old, and sentenced to be hanged. The' verdict was sustained by the full bench on appeal, but the boy escaped the gallows by the clemency of the Crown and by enlisting in the English navy. In our own country, in New Jersey, in 1818, a colored boy, Aaron, 12 years of age, was convicted of murder in the first degree for the killing of a 2-year-old child, and 'the conviction was sustained. Ten years later a colored boy of the same age was convicted in the same state under the same circumstances, and suffered the same penalty. Both cases were carried to the Supreme Court, and the learned judges decided in both, after a careful judgment, that the boy had reached a reasoning age and must be held responsible. There are other cases'in this country, but I can’t recall them.” The coldest: things in the worldâ€"The kitchen oilcloth to your bare feet in a wiggeris night. _ _ The hottest thingâ€"A raisin lying in am- bush in a. mouthful of hot plum pudding.

A Philadelphia boy, 8 years old, named Edward Trodden,is under arrest for the murder of another lad. The question arising as to the liability of such a child for a felony, a reporter of the News visited the ofiicials to learn their purpose in the matter. “ Certainly we will try him for murder when the case comes before us,” said Asst. Dist. Atty. Charles F. Warwick, although the trial would probably be a farce unless it was clearly proved that the boy’s mind was feeble and he was incapable of delib- erately planning crime or had not reached what, Blackstone calls the age of dis- cretion, which is usually “Under the old civil law," said Mr. War- wick. “ this was fixed at seven years.

Loving Pairs. It was 7.25 by the clock in the Tombstone Republican oflice. The buggy was at the door to take a Tombstone man to the train. His hand was on the knob. “ Good-bye,” he called out. There came from some one upstairs, through the half-open door, a feminine voice, “ Good-bye." Then he had gone out into the glad spring air, odorous with the foretokens of coming life and musical with the songs of the nest-builders. . But there was no song in his heart, no spring hope and light in his life as he took the reins of his groom’s hands and spoke to his horses. sharp “ Get on X" And as he rode through the royal avenue that led up to the house this is what he thought : “ It Ivhad been a guest Martha would have been up dressed. She would have laid a spray of fresh flowers at my plate. She would have sat at the table and seen that my coffee was good, and my eggs hot and my toast browned. And I should have at least a parting shake of the hand, and a hope expressed that I would come again, and, perhaps, a wave of the handkerchief from the balcony. And I should have carried away with me that smile that is brighter than the sunshine as the last gift of her gracious hospitality. It is a chance if she would not even have proposed to ride to the station with me to see me off. For she knows, if ever woman did, how to welcome the coming and speed the parting guest. But I am only her husband and I can eat my breakfast alone, as if 1 were a bachelor, and get my coffee muddy or clear, hot or cold, as Bridget happens to make it, and take eggs hard or soft and toast burnt or soggy. as it chances to come from a careless cook.

When we were first married he never would have gone ofl in this way, and with a careless ‘ good-bye’ tossed upstairs as he might toss a well- cleaned bone to a hungry dog.

The fact that the women voters in Utah, who are at once the victims and the most fanatical supporters of the Mormon Church, outnumber the Gentile vote more than two to one, ought to suggest to Con- gress the duty of an immediate repeal of the law establishing female suffrage in that territory. In the recent election, when 15,000 votes were cast, the male Mormons were so sure of the result that they con- temptuously refrained from voting in large numbers, leavmg the work of nullifying the Edmunds' law to the women. In 1880 10,000 women voted almost solid for the Church ticket. and in the election just held they would have carried out the edict of the Church alone, even though every anti- Mormon in the territory had voted. Woman suffrage, an unprized privilege in States where it is accorded, is the strongest bul- wark of the degradation of women in Utah. ‘ It is time that it was broken down. ‘ Fashionable Crnzos. ‘ Two newr wrinkles are charged upon the , fashionable women of New York city. The first is fiddling. It is not rare now to meet a finely-dressed girl with a boy carrying ‘ one of those black, coffin-shaped boxes , which formerly were lugged by professional 1 musicians only. She is on her way to or ‘ from her violin lesson. Pretty soon she i will stand up before the guests in her papa’s 1 parlor, tuck one end of a fiddle under her ‘ chin, and torture the company’s ears while delighting their eyes. However horrible be the noise produced, she will look well during the process of making it. The second freak of fashion is repre- sented to be to pray on genuine prayer rugs from the east, such as a Mohammedan uses. They are usually about three or four feet in size, and can be distinguished by the design. which always represents some large figure at one end and is pointed at the other. Places are indi- cated for the hands and knees. Devout women procure the real things from an importer, and. without facing Mecca, bumping their heads on the floor, or removing their shoes and stockings, like the sons of the prophet still actually do use them to kneel on while praying. They are said to be a great comfort. How to Walk. An English woman in Chicago, engaged in teaching calisthenics, lays down the following as cardinal principles in the art of walking: To walk upon the ball instead of the heel of the foot. Nine out of every ,ten persons walk upon the heel. It com- municates a jar to the spine which is very injurious, while placing the ball of the foot ‘ down first, if persisted in, will result in a gliding and graceful walk. The English and French are the most graceful walkers because their mothers give them proper teaching when they are young. All of the bad walks which characterise the Ameri- cans and Germans are due to the fact that no cars is taken with them when they are infants. They are allowed to walk before their limbs are strong enough to support them, and they are also left a great deal to themselves. The mothers should guide them and teach them to walk, and they would not be so knock-kneed and bow- limbed.
