STORY OF LINCOLN.

TOLD BY EX-REPRESENTATIVE BRANDEGEE, OF CONNECTICUT.

M. Gun Maker's Claim*—An Interview irith the

President—Lincoln's

Personal

Appearance—A Persuasive Executive Document—Admiral Dshlgren.

I first saw Mr. Lincoln in the summer of 1883. I bad been elected in the spring of that year to the Thirty-eighth congress, and visited Washington some time in June to look up quarters for the coming December session. The corridors of Willard's hotel were crowded with officers on leave, office seekers, contractors and jobbers—the swarm which always gathers around the hive of the treasury. The most conspicuous figure, and one of the most remarkable I ever saw, was Horatio Ames, an iron founder of Falls Village, Conn., brother of Oakes Ames. He claimed to have invented a process of forging wrought iron cannon of heavy calibre, by subjecting the molten metal to the impact of two immense trip hammers, which with characteristic grim humor ho had named respectively "Thor" and "Odin.'' Ames complained that though his guns had been subjected to unfair tests by Dahlgren, who was then chief of the ordnance bureau, and though it had withstood all attempts to burst it_while the Dahlgren guns had burst like glass bottles—yet he could neither get a report in his favor nor an authentic record of the experiments. Ames soon discovered that I was one of the newly elected Connecticut members, and insisted that in the absence of his own immediate representative it was my duty to present his appeal to President Lincoln. I did not banker after the job," to use one of the expressive phrases of Mr. Lincoln. But Ames was not the man to stand upon etiquette and 1 finally yielded to his importunity, on condition that an interview should be arranged with Mr. Lincoln's approval.

Every one knows the general appearance of Mr. Lincoln. That ho was tall, swarthy, awkward and unconventional in dress and manner are the broad outlines of any conception of him. Cut no one who has not rtood faco to face with tho man can ever rea'ize a lifciiko idea of tho great original. As he rose—and seemed to keep on rising—before me, his hair was black, coarse and of an unkempt appearance, bis nose prominent, bis check Iwncs hieh, bis cheeks very hollow, his complexion swarthy, his manner gracious but subdued, while his eyes had an expression that I find myself incapable of describing, as though they lay in ambush in their deep caverns, ready to spring forth or rctreat'further within, as occasion required. He was awkward, but it was the awkwardness of nature, which is akin to grace. Tho expression of his facte was earnest, with a shade of sadness, and his voice was soft and at times as tender as a woman's.

I had prepared what I thought a neat little speech of introduction, but he at once put my rhetoric and embarrassment to flight by taking me by the hand and saying, "Well, what does little Connecticut want?"

Tho tone, tho familiar address, tho friendly manner, the gracious smile at once put me at my ease, and I stated my case as to a friend, «nd almost an equal. Mr. Lincoln listened with evident interest. Ames had stated that a record existed of tho various Purges, the number of firings and tho respective results to each gun, and that it would vindicate all he claimed, but ho had been denied access to it Mr. Lincoln closed tho interview by requesting me to procure it and bring it to him at 8 o'clock that evening. And to my suggestion that 1 was unknown at tho department, ho took an executivo exvekjpe from a bundle which lay always on his table and wrote tho following: "Let Mr. -—-, of Connecticut, have a copy of such record as ho iudicates. A. Lincolu."

Armed with this concise but persuasive executivo message, wo visited tho navy department, where we waited in tho anteroom for more than two hours for the arrival of Commodore Dahlgren, who was said to bo absent. 8us|ecting after a while that Dahlgren's absence was rather conventional than mctual, wo at last pushed by tho janitor into tho chief's room, where we found him calmly writing at his desk, where he had probably been from tho commencement. My request for a copy of the rejort was curtly refused, until I produced tho envelope with tho unmistakable sign manual of the president, causing as much consternation as though one of Dahlgren's own guns had burst in in his own department. Wo got what wo wanted and took it to the president that evening according to npi«intment.

Mr. Lincoln sat at an office desk, under which his long legs protruded to an extent which made them conspicuous. At first he had on a pair of carpet slippers, but as the conversation progressed he unconsciously withdrew his feet, disclosing what seemed to be a pair of dark yarn stockings, through which lmd worked his great toe, and this ho kept in almost ixTjictual motion. Tho record verified the claim of Mr. Ames, and after much discussion and searching questions Mr. Lincoln took an executive envelope and wrote the following: "If Horatio Ames will make ton wrought iron guns after his method, which will answer satisfactorily such tests as 1 shall order, I will sec that he gets paid $1 per jouml for each gun. A. Lincoln."

Thus ended my first interview. I never saw Ames afterward, but was told by Oakes Ames, his brother, that the guns were made, answered all tests, and that his brother received $l(X,000 on tho strength of that envelope.—Augustus Brondegee In New York Tribune.

l.mttlou Reportorlal ISntcrpris*. The Loudon Times has not often of late distinguislxxl itself by enterprise in getting news, but there is no doubt of its power to keep a bit or intelligence away from its rivals. Loni Randolph Churchill's resignation, announced exclusively by "The Thunderer," is a late example. The young statesman drove into Printing House square shortly after 11 o'clocK at night and asked to see the editor. He was lodged with him for nearly an hour, at the end of which time, lo! as Mr. Black says in his novels, a strange thing happened. As soon as Lord Randolph hod been seen oil the premises an order was issued to lock every door, back and front, ami take the keys to the editor's room. Dispatches, as they arrived through the night, were taken in at a window to the courtyard. Not a soul, from the editor to the printer's devil, was permitted to leave the premises on any pretext whatever. For sonic hours mystery and consternation brooded over the establishment. The Wcret was till 2 o'clock in the morning locked ia the breasts of the editor and two leader wi iters. The paragraph announcing the resignation, and the articles commenting thereon, were written and held bnr*r to the last moment Bat evtn then, tbe ir ing one at which other papers bad gone to press, the doors were still locked. it was not till tbe paper had gone to pr» that the (tools unlocked-—New York Tribune.

MONTANA BEAVERS.

YELLOWSTONE PARK THE ANIMALS' REFUGE FROM TRAPPERS.

gome Bare Specimens Captured—Pelts of tbe Golden Beaver—Dams Built by the Sagacious Little Animals 'Origin ot "Bearer L»ke." "All signs fail in dry weather, but when the beaver builds his 'cache1 high then look out for blizzards and blasts." So says a veteran cow puncher, who in tho early days modA hig living by trapping beavers in Montana, and all admit that the veteran knowB what he is talking about. Late last fall the beavers up this way began building high, and sure enough the weather turned out cold, for a week's blizzard is not done blowing yet, and the snow is all the way from two to three feet deer on a leveL

There can be no question that this vrhole northwestern belt was many years 0£0 a great resort of beavers, for there are evidences still left of thousands upon thousands of homes, each of which must have contained at some time one complete family. Tho early French traders and Hudson Bay trappers considered this a favorite hunting ground for all sorts of fur bearing animals, for nearly all tho Indian tribes in this latitudo have traditions, or unwritten history, wherein they bartered pelts and furs with the "palefaces who came down from the north." -gj

SOME RARE SPECIMENS.

There are more beaver now in Montana than anywhere else in the United States. The variety, too, is greater here, for the writer has seen three distinct specimens, all of which were trapped within 100 miles of this point. Besides the ordinary beaver a Fiegnn Indian killed not long ago on the Upper Marias river a female beaver, and upon investigating hei home found four young ones in tho cache, two of which were white and two black. The albino pair were smaller than tho dark ones, but they were indeed a rarity, and most beautiful objects to behold. Another rarity in the beaver line was found over on Milk river about two years ago. I refer to the golden beaver, who possesses, I bcliove, the' choicest and rarest of furs. Although there must have been a family to which this specimen belonged, yet oidy one was captured.

The Crow Indians have a number of bright, ru^ty beaver skins, which they say were captured on their reservation at the head of tho Big Horn river. They describe tho fur when on the animal as possessing a most beautiful sunshiny appearancc, which leaves no question in my mind but that the Crows captured tho jxjlts in question from tho tine golden beaver. I have never heard of the species being caught outside of Siberia, but hero we certainly have them in Montana. The greatest resort of beavers in the northwest is the head waters of the Yellowstone river, its tributaries and tho Yellowstone National park. Beaver lake, in the park, is a wonderful spot. The complicated system of dams built by the sagacious and industrious little animal is not equaled on earth by the finest of engineering work. They are hard workers, and use judgment in choosing a place to build and live, and they make the dams with such patience and skill that a torrent which would tear away tho strongest and best constructed by man simply sweeps over them without effect, and really leaves them stronger than before, for instsad of weakening tho structure, tho reservoir is fiKed with debris, which is, in fact, just what tho beavers want. In choosing a place to live, Beaver lake will show the -jood sense of these little animals.

ORIGIN CXP "BEAVER LAKE."

To begin with, the lako itself is a lovely sheet of water, hemmed in by the famed obsidian cliffs on one side and abrupt, lofty mountains on the other. Any one with half an eye can seo there never was such a thing as Beaver lake in existence until tho little animals themselves went to work and dammed tho lower end of tho canyon, which brought into creation that charming and lovely sheet of water. Dotting the lake in hundreds of places are littlo mounds, conical and oval in shape, rising directly out of the water. There are the homes of tho families. They consist of arched and interlocked willows, plastered thick with mud, which leaves a covering about two or threo feet, which is a sure protection against the cold of this climate. Tho entrances are all under water, small crevices being left to give the necessary air. In choosing a place for a house they build far out in the water, away from land if possible, for there they are safe from their hereditary enemies, tho bear, tho puma, the gray wolf and tho mountain lion, which fairly swarm throughout the park in countless numbers.

Tho beavers are pretty well hunted all over Montana, but, like all the other animals ferse naturtu up this way, they are naturally and surely drifting over into the Yellowstone National park, which seems to be about the only haven of safety left to them in all the wide northwest- There they are protected by saving laws. Still tho pot hunters are over after them, and unless promptly checked will destroy tho remnant of wild and fur bearing animals still left in our country. Only last week a pot hunter was caught Betting beaver traps on Gardiner river, which is in the park limits. Ho WM promptly ejected and his traps destroyed.—Montana Cor. San Francisco Call.

Ingcrsoll on Music.

Although there are but few who suspect it, it is nevertheless a fact that Col. Ingersoll is one of the most enthusiastic devotees of music and as thorough going a Wagnerian as can be found in this city. Ho never misses a notable performance at the Metropolitan opera house, and symphony concerts aro his especial delight. While conversing with the colonel the other evening tho subject of music was broached, nnd the colonel said that ho got all his musical education in two weeks, and that that was enough to givo him a knowledge of the principles that would servo him for a lifetime. He made tho great discovery that there were threo kinds of music, and these be classified in the following original fashion: The first kind was "heel music," or simply rythmical sound, a succession of homogenous notes, or a tattoo. This was the lowest form. The second was what he called "soul music," or the iitioa of different sounds in varying cad- this appealed to the feeling and the emotions, but went no farther. The third and rliest form of music was "thought musfe," wh„li is represented only by Wagner and his school It was this form of music, he said, which appeai»! tothcintelie tandmado man think in language.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

MEXICAN SENORITAS.

THEIR EDUCATION AND WHAT THEY ARE EXPECTED TO KNOW.

"Marriageable" at the Age of Fifteen. Instruction of Girls at Home—Private Schools and Seminaries—A Class Below the Patrician Stratum.

The scholastic coarse of a Mexican girl of aristocratic family is finished before she is 15, at which age she is considered "marriageable." The wife of Gen. Santa Ana was wedded to that wily ruler, whom Americans remember as "the butcher of the Alamo," when only 13, and numerous brides in these later days are scarcely older. It must be remembered, however, that girls mature early in the tropics, and in corresponding ratio grow old much sooner than in the colder north. Though Mexico abounds in single women of mature age, one never hears of "an old maid," for to remain forever unmarried entails no such stigma here as attaches to unmarried females of other lands. If her lonely condition is alluded to by these polite people they speak of her with some kindly phrase, indicating that la pobracita (the poor, dear thing) has been "hard to please."

The custom of engaging accomplished foreign governesses or native tutors to instruct young girls at home is gaining ground among wealthy families in Mexico, because to send a budding senorita over 10 years of age to a day school—even in the family carriage, accompanied by a maid who never loses sight of ber till she is safely returned to the paternal casa—is looked upon as an alarming stretch of the proprieties. In the days of conventual institutions the daughters of well to do parents were universally placed in charge of the gentle sisterhood, generally entering the convent schools at an early age and remaining until old enough to marry. Since tho banishment of nuns and monks from Mexico a great many private schools and seminaries have been established, wherein girls are duly "finished" according to Mexican ideas. The acme of their accomplishments is to become good linguists and excellent musicians and to acquire a smattering of history and general literature, placing them about on a par with the corresponding class in France and Spain. But they are never cultured to the Bostonian point in the classics or dccult sciences, their simple acquirements being such as shine to best advantage in the home circle.

Mexican ladies of high degree are never educated with a view to utilizing their accomplishments for gaining a livelihood in any possible reverse of fortune, for under no circumstances are they expected to assist in their own support. The old Spanish custom which obliges gentlemen to provide for all their destitute female relatives and to shield thom absolutely from contact with tho world still prevails among the upper classes, notwithstanding the l'act that nearly a century of foreign ware and internal revolutions has mado it a difficult task in many instances and forever debarred from matrimony the scions of proud but impoverished houses.

As a rule, pater familias does not encourage much reading of books—except of a religious character—among the female members of his flock, and certainly not the general run of newspapers such as are found in every northern family. He believes not only that "a littlo knowledge is a dangerous thing," and might lead to that pernicious "strong mindedness" which be imagines afflicts most ladies in the United States, but that literally "ignorance is bliss" in their appointed sphere. If not married at once when escaped from school restraints, sometimes tno mother or some elderly female relative undertakes to instinct tbe daughter in those domestic duties which matrimony entails, because, whether rich or poor, on the day of her marring*) she will go to a home of her own, which the expectant bridegroom must previously prepare. To that end she is taught to prepare delicacies for the sick and refreshing medicinal drinks to make dulcies, jellies and dainty desserts, and occasionally, by way of practice, isgiven for a season the entire management of her father's household. I have heard of cases where she has even ordered all tho provisions, paid the servants, provided rations for the carriage horses, and looked over the coachman's bills for shoeing, etc.—in short, kept a thorough account of all domestic expenditures but these instances a.v extremely rare.

Another class of women, a f.rwJe or two below the patrician stratum in the social structure, aro numerous in Uexico, and greatly to be pitied. For several years past the Mexican government has been making praiseworthy efTorts to ameliorate the den3c ignorance of this class by increasing the number of public schools and offering education free to all. One more step is needed, however, and that is to render it compulsory and to banish the needle and embroidery frame from the school house. Hitherto the greater portion of the school hours of these girls has been devoted to the questionable accomplishments of embroidery, lace work and the manufacture of artificial flowers—the latter industry being doubly a farce in this land of flowers. In many of these schools the teachers exhibit with pride specimens of finest stitching and most elaborate embroidery, lace and drawn work of marvelous intricacy and canvas work that equals the famous tJobelin tapestry. ^Vngels, scriptur incidents, etc., are wrought with silk upon 1I:io linen, requiring inQnite pains and a vast expenditure of precious eyesight, and often a year's time is devoted by some poor girl, who can scarcely read and write, to an amazing creation in canvas and colored wools—perhaps her patron saint, represented with purple bair and yellow legs or a landscape, with a green dog in the foreground, resting his nose upon the peaks of crimson mountains and his tail in the branches of a blue tree, which masterpiece is framed and hung in the parlor by her delighted mother, who points to it with pride ever afterward as the crowning proof of her daughter^ education.

When these slaves of the needle emerge from school, naturally, their minds ore dwarfed, a.s their eyes and spines are weakened, and they are ignorant and superstitious to a degree. They take no interest in boohs, seldom understand even tbe geographical position of their own country, and to them the whole world beyond is a total blank. Being thus pitiably without resources, their future depenids entirely upon marriage—and happening to rnifs that they are nonentities indeed. At the age of 40 they are broken down and decrepit old women.witivmt a trace of the dark beauty that we so mi admire in their early youth. —Correspondence Phiksdclohia Record.
