SKETCHES OF LINCOLN.

"Short and Simple Annals of

Interview With a Newspaper Man—Lin

coln's Reference to His Mother The

Family Record—A Tragic Death—The

Itoving Father of the President.

(From "The Life of Lincoln" by William H. Hermlon aiul .1 esse W. Weik. Copyright, 1888, by .Jesse W. Weik. Copyright, I80J, by D. Appleton & (.Jo.

Boyond the fact that ho was born on the 12th day of February, 1S09, in Hardin county, Ky., Mr. Lincoln usually had but little to say of himself, the lives of his parents or the history of the family before their removal to Indiana. If ho mentioned tho subject at all, it was with great reluctance and significant reserve. There was something about his origin ho never cared to dwell upon. His nomination for the presidency in 1800, however, made the publication of his life a necessity and attracted to Springfield an army of campaign biographers and newspaper men. They met him in his office, stopped hi::i in his walks and followed him to his house. Artists camo to paint his picture and sculptors to make his bust. His auto-

'Wm

graphs wore in demand, aud people camo long distances to shake him by tho hand. This sudden elevation to national prominence found Mr. Lincoln unprepared in a great measure for the unaccustomed demonstration that awaited him. Whilo he was easy of approach and equally courteous to all, yet, as he said to mo one evening after a long day of handshaking, he could not understand why people should mako so much over him.

Among the earliest newspapermen to arrive in Springfield after tho Chicago convention was tho lato J. L. Scripps of tho Chicago Tribune, who proposed to prepare a history of his life. Mr. Lincoln deprecated the idea of writing even a campaign biography. "Why, Scripps, said ho, "it is a groat piece of folly to attempt to mako anything out of mo or my early life. It can all bo condensed into a single sentence, and that sentence you will find in Gray's 'Elegy:' .. 'The short and simple annals of tho poor "That's my life, and that's all you or any ono else can make out of it.'

Ho did, however, communicate some facts and meager incidents ipf his early days, and with tho matter thus obtained Mr. Scripps prepared his book. Soon after tho death of Lincoln 1 received a letter from Scripps, in which, among other things, he recalled tho meeting with Lincoln and tho viow ho took of tho biography matter. "Lincoln seemed to be painfully impressed, he wrote, "withr the extreme poverty of his early surroundings and the utter absence of all romantic and heroic elements. He communicated some facts to mo concerning his ancestry, which ho did not wish to have published then, and which I liavo never spoken of or alluded to beforo.

What tho facts referred to by Mr. Scripps were wo do not know, for ho died several 3'ears ago without, so far as is known, revealing them to any one.

Lincoln and His Mother.

On tho subject of his ancestry and origin 1 only remember ono time when Mr. Lincoln over referred to it. It was about 1850, when he and I wore driving in his one horse buggy to the court in Menard county, Ills. The suit we were going to try was ono in which wo were likely, either directly or collaterally, to touch upon the subject of hereditary traits. During tho ride he spoke for the first time iu my hearing of his mother, dwelling oil hor characteristics and mentioning or enumerating what qualities he inherited from her. He said, among other things, that she was the daughter of Lucy Hanks and a well bred but obscure Virginia farmer or planter, and ho argued that from this last source came his power of analysis, his logic, his mental activity, his ambition and all the qualities that distingnished him from the other members and descendants of the Hanks family.

Abraham Lincoln, the grandfather of the president, emigrated to Jefferson county, Ky., from Virginia, about 1780, and from that time forward the former state became an important one in the history of tho family, for in it was destined to be born its most illustrious member. About five years beforo this a handful of Virginians had started across the mountains for Kentucky, and in tho company, besides their historian, Wil- I liam Calk, whose diary recently came I to light, was one Abraham Hanks. They were evidently a crowd of jolly young men bent on adventure and fun, but their sport was attended with freqneut

disasters. Their journey began at "Mr. Prige's tavern on the Rapidau." When only a few days out, "Hanks' dog's leg got broke. Later in the course of the journey Hanks and another companion became separated froi ri of the party and were lost in tne mountains for two days.

In crossing a stream ""Abraham'ssaddle turned over and his load all fell in Indian creek. Finally they meet their brethren from whom they have been separated and then pursue their way without further interruption. Returning emigrants whom they meet, according to tho journal of Calk, "tell such news of the Indians'' that certain members of the company arc "at'rade to go aney further. The following day moro or less demoralization takes place among tho members of this pioneer party when the announcement is made, as their chronicler so faithfully records it, that "Philip Drake bakes bread without washing his hands. This was an unpardonable sin, and at it they revolted. A day later tlie record shows that "Abram turns back." Beyond this wo shall never know what became of Abraham Hanks, for no further mention of him is made in this or any other history. He may have returned to Virginia and become, for aught we know, one of tho president's ancestors on the maternal side of tho house but, if so, his illustrious descendant was never ablo to establish the fact or trace his lineago satisfactorily beyond the first generation which preceded him. He never mentioned who his maternal grandfather was, if indeed he knew.

AM Indian Tragedy.

His paternal grandfather, Abraham Lincoln, the pioneer from Virginia, met his death within two years after his settlement in Kentucky at the hands of the Indians, "not in battle," as his distinguished grandson tells us, "but by stealth, when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest. Tho story of his deatli in sight of his youngest son, Thomas, then only 0 years old, is by no means a new ono to the world. In fact, I have often heard tho president describe tho tragedy as ho hud inherited the story from his father. The dead pioneer had three sons, Mordccai, Josiah and Thomas, in the order named. When tho father fell, Mordecai, having hastily sent Josiah to tho neighboring fort after assistance, ran into tho cabin, and pointing his rille through a crack between the logs prepared for defense. Presently an Indian came stealing up to tho dead father's body. Beside tho latter sat tho little boy Thomas. Mordecai took deliberate aim at a silver crescent which hung suspended from tho Indian's breast and brought him to the ground. Josiah returned front the fort with the desired relief, and the savages were easily dispersed, leaving behind one dead and one wounded.

Tho tragic death of his father filled Mordecai with an intense hatred of tho Indians, a feeling from which ho never recovered. It was ever with him like an avenging spirit. From Jefferson county ho removed to Grayson, whero ho spent tho remainder of his days.

Lincoln's J'litlicr.

In Thomas, roving and shiftless, to whom was "reserved the honor of an illustrious paternity," arc we alone interested. He was, wo are told, 5 feet 10 inches high, weighed l!)r pounds, had a well rounded face, dark hazel eyes, coarso black hair and was slightly stoop shouldered. His build was so compact that Dennis Hanks used to say ho could not find the point of separation between his ribs. Ho was proverbial 1}" slow of movement, mentally and physically, was careless, inert and dull, was sinewy and gifted with great strength, was inoffensively quiet and peaceable, but whon roused to resistance a dangerous antagonist. He had a liking for jokes and stories, which was ono of tho few traits he transmitted to his illustrious son, was fond of tho chase and had no marked aversion for the bottle, though in the latter case he indulged no more freely titan tho averago Kentuckian of his day.

At tho time of his marriage to Nancy Hanks ho could neither read nor write, but his wife, who was gifted with more education and was otherwise his mental superior, taught him, it is said, to write his name and to read—at ioast he was able in later years to spell his way slowly through tho Bible. In his religious belief ho first afiiliated with the Free Will Baptists. After his removal to Indiana he changed his adliorenco to the Presbyterians—or Predestinarians, as they wero then called—and later united with the Christian—vulgarly called Campbellite—church, in which latter faith he is supposed to have died. He was a carpenter by trade and essayed farming, too, but in this, as in almost every other undertaknig, ho was singularly unsuccessful. Ho was placed in possession of several tracts of land at different times in his lifo, bnt was never able to pay for a single one of them. The farm on which he died was one his son purchased, providing a lifo estate therein for him and his wife. Ho never fell in with tho routine of labor was what somo people would call unfortunate or unlucky in all his business ventures—if in reality he ever made one— and died near the village of Farmington in Coles county, Ills., on tho 17th day of January, 1851.

His son, on account of sickness in his own family, was unable to bo present at his father's bedside or witness his death. To those who notified him of his probable demise he wrote: "I sincerely hope that father may yet recover his health, but at all events tell him to remember to call upon and confide in our great and good and merciful Maker, who will not turn away from him in any extremity. Ho notes the fall of a sparrow and numbors the hairs of our heads, and ho will not forget the dying man who puts his trust in him. Say to him that if wo could moet now it is doubtful whether it would not bo more painful than pleasant, but that if it bo his lot to go now he will soon havoa joyous meeting with many loved ones gone before, and where the rest of us, through the help of God, hopo ere long to join them.

LETTER FROI TOKIO

Details of Recent Oc in Japan.

T'eace Treaty Kept Secret by the Officials,

llussia's Scheme—The Japanese Troops Trapped in China and Are at the Mercy

of the Kussian Warships—Other Events

in Japan, Cores and China.

SAN FKAXCISCO, May 13.—The steamship City of Peking arrived yesterday from Hong-Kong and Yokohama, bringing tlie following correspondence to the Associated Press, dated at Tokio, April 27.

Alt-hough totally ignorant up to this day of wiiat is in store, the people of Japan are about to receive a heavy blow' of adverse fortune. To what extent the news of the hostile combination of Russia. Germany and France has been made public in Europe and America, residents of Japan have no means of knowing but in this country it remains a secret, of state, and may not be authoritatively disclosed for I some time to come.

Rumors are prevalent, but the startling fact that the three great powers have united to deprive Japan of the

official circles. The announcement was delivered tit Hiroshima ou April 22, and after receiving tin emperor's commands, Count Ito set forth to consult with Viscount Matsu at the sanitary resort, Mailco, whitherto the junior commissioner had repaired in the hope of regaining his shattered health.

The heads of departments in Tokio were notified April 24, but foreign ministers were confidentially advised on that and the following days. By then the governments not already concerned were made acquainted with the facts. IM) Japanese newspaper has yet obtained information on the subject-, but foreign journals indulge only in vague speculation. Upon the general populace, the stroke has yet to fall.

But it seems as if Russia had purposely schemed to put Japan into a painful and disadvantageous position by wait ing until the great bulk of the Japanese army had crossed to the continent-. She certainly strengtened her own hand, foxnow the troops tire a thousand miles from their base of supplies and the powerful Russian fleet may keep them isolated or prevent their return home. The Russian diplomatic oliicials have, indeed, signified that such is the intention, unless Japan accedes to the pressure exerted upon her.

In spite of her wrath at the trick which she thinks has been played, it is scarcely credible that she will venture to resist, in case she finds that tho allies tire thoroughly in earnest. So far tis Russia is concerned, there can be no question on this point. Germany's purpose is hardly less clear, though the language of her communication is so needlessly offensive that a mask of braggadocio might perhaps be suspected. Prance exhibits no wanton of discourtesy, and the belief is strong that she was unwillingly led into the league and joined it only as a manifestation of her newly-born affection for the northern power.

The attitude of England is regarded with deep interest- and some surprise. It has long been thought here that if any western nation watched with jealousy tho rapid development of Japanese power it was Groat Britain. It is needless to say her refusal to take part in the unfriendly manifestation causes great gratification, and tho praeticability of .? co.. .o.t norweou Japan and Great Britain is \tlready discussed in influential quarters, l'or some time past a steadily increasing dislike for England and the English has been displayed by the Japanese, wnile Prance next to tlie United States has been the object of their special regard. A week hence, or as soon as the action of the several states is clearly understood, these sentiments will be radically reverted.

Until the appearance of this dark cloud it seemed that nothing could obscure the sunshine of Japan's new prosperity. The government was cheered and gratified by the enthusiasm with which the treaty of peace had been received in all parts of the empire. So favorable and so unanimous a verdict was not looked for. Almost to the last moment, the popular demands were extravagant and unreasonable and it was believed the military power wras so strongly bent upon a further prosecution of the war that the prudent counsels of Count Ito and Viscount Matsu might be set aside, at least until Pekin could bo occupied by tho victorious invaders. Bui, the biggest influence in the nation—the will of the emperor— was on tlie side of moderation. Every measure tending to a speedy and honorable termination of hostilities had his approval and support.

In the face of his avowed wishes, the hotheads of tho army could not clamor for a prolonged contest, and among tho people the knowledge that the sovereign was opposed to needless strife held even the most violent in check. Yet it was not supposed that the reaction from tho belligerent of the two months ago would bo so sudden or complete. Prom the hour that peace was declined, a general chorus of acclamation saiuted tho two statesmen whoso wise mid patient labors had lirought about tho groat result.

The words of congratulation and praise with wnicli the emperor welcomed them on their return to Hiroshima were echoed on till sides with genuine sincerity, and instead of incurring the temporary ill will of tho masses, as it was feared it might, by agreeing to more lenient terms of accommodation than were hoped for by the nations at large, they have advanced in the esteem and confidence of their countrymen to a point which few Japaneso ministers of state have ever attained. All of their excitement is now at aa Mid. Count Ito will remain at the Lead of the cabinet as long as he choc.

The indignation which the Japanese government does not affect to conceal is intensified by the tardiness witii which the intentions of the three powers were revealed. Many weeks ago they were frankly notilied of the general terms to tribunal was formed, most of the native oo imposed upon China. They knew quite well that apart of the Slang-King province would be demanded, and if they had then declared their objection, or at any time previous to the signing of the treaty at Bakau, their remonstrances would doubtless have received consideration.

Orders were sent by the emperor that Li living Chang should not proceed to the capitol but should forward the treaty tli taerto for ratification. Miyoji Ito, chief secretary of tho Japanese cabinet, whose labors in connection with the peace conference have been arduous, LMS been appointed plenipotentiary to proreed to Che-Foo, and conduct the ceremony of exchanging the ratifications.

Chinese merchants in Japan, many of them men of wealth and standing, profess great satisfaction with the conclusion of peace, and are about to send

The Corean administration is debating the expediency of putting the tai won kun ou trial as a common criminal but it is doubted whether the king will sanction this radical departure from usage, even to make his own life secure. On April 2 the tai won kun sent a letter to the judges imploring that he Do killed and his grandson set free.

The empress left Hiroshima for Kioto April 25, and the emperor followed ou the 2(. Beiore starting he signed the ratification of the peace treaty, Their majesties will remain in Kioto about two weeks, and will then return to Tokio, where their reception will be ou a magnificent .--cale.

On learning that discovery was imminent he hastily resigned his position us envoy and prepared to escape from Seoul, but the government was informed of his purpose, and :m the night of April 18, policemen went to tai won kun with the king's warrant to arrest the alleged criminal. Yi refused to surrender himself and was unceremoniously hoisted on the back of a stalwart constable and carried to jail. The tai won kun, in a frenzy of rage, followed his grandson at 2 o'clock the.next morning and demanded admittance, which was refused. Then, forgetting his customary pomp and dignity, he staid in tlie street till daylight screaming that he was alono the originator of he plot, and that Yi knew nothing about if.

INFIRMARY.

to l'iecvs by

A Semi-Paralyzed inmate Cut Another One. FIXDLAY, O., May 13.—A horrible murder occurred Saturday night at the county infirmary, west of this city, Abe Wise, a semi-paralyzed inmate, aged-iO, being tho victim and John G. lvarg, another inmate, aged 70, being the murderer. The two men quarreled over trivial matter, and Wiso threatened to kill Karg, striking him over tho hoad with a cauo.

Karg went to his room and procured a butcherkuifo. Returning, ho secured Wise's cane and then made a rush at him with the knife. Wise was almost helpless, being paralyzed on ono side, and was therefore at Karg's mercy. The knife was as sharp as a razor, and with it Karg slashed Wise across tha neck and head. Wiso attempted to get down stairs, and as ho was groping :.:ongj tho hallway in tho dark Karg aade another dash at liim. Drawing ite knife across tho back of his neck in) nearly severed the head from the body.

With the blood streaming from hl» wounds Wiso managed to get down stairs, but ho died soon afterward. After tht! murder Karg washed himself, went to his room and pretended to be asleep when tho sheriff knocked at hi» door. Ho was placed under arrest* His clothing was found saturateel with tho blood of his victim. Ia Karg's room was found two other knives besidos the one with which h9 killed Wise.
