WHEN LINCOLN DIED.
Editorial by Greeley Tbrit Was

told in "Jaime; 1Z asScil Lowell onS His -
['riot-id:iv eSerilmer'el, 1.e Edward E,-erett
" lie is writing of Bidney II. Gay,
then in inaging editor of the New York
Tribune.
"I have never seen in print Gay's story
of that fearful night when Lincoln was
killed.- But'onehears it freely repeated in
conversation, and I:see no reason why it
thould not be printed now..
"With the •news of the murder of Lin -
min there came to New York every Other
terrible message. The office of The Trib-,;-
nne of cenrse rewived echoes of all the..
dispateleit which showed sthe alarm at
Washiegton. .There were orders for the
arrest f this man, there were suspicions
of the loyalty of that man. No one knew
what the morrow might bring.
- "In the midst of the anxiety of such
hour S o Mr. • Gaya the acting editor of
that's) per, there entered the foreman of
the ty esetting room, He' brought with
him th proof of MranGrealey's
article, as he" had left • it before leaving
the cit for the day. • It was a brutal, bit-
ter, sa castle personal attack on Pros! -
dent ineoln, the Man who when 'Gay
read tlie article was 'dying in Washing -
"ton. •
" "GO read the article and asked the
foremen if else had any private place
where he'could lock tip the type to which.
no one but,hjenself had access. The fore-
man Said he had. Gay bade him tie •up
the type, lock the galley with this article
In his cupoard and tell no one what he
had to d hien. Of course no such article
"apPealed in The Tribune the next morn-
ing. 1.;:7'.
"But- when ..GaY arrived the- next day
at the office he was met with the news
that `the old -man' wanted him and 'the
intlinasion :that `the old men' was very ,
angry: Gay waited upon Greeley. -
e yeu there., Mr. Gay? I have
()king for you. They tell me you
my leader out Of this morning's
- paper. Is it your paper or mine? -e
should lik.e to know if I cannot print
what I choose in my own paperl"This in
a great rage.
p paper is yours, Mr. Greeley. The
article is in type up stairs, and you can -
nee it when .you ehoose. Only this, Mr.
Greeley: I: know New York, and I hope
and believe -before God that there is so
virtue In New York that if I had
let the article go int& this morning's pa-
per ti ere would not be one brick upon
'piloting* in The Tribune office now,. Cer-
tainly I should be sorry if there were.'
"Mi. Greeley was cowed. He said not
a woid nor ever alluded to the subject
again. It Was by this sort of service that
MroGay earned Mr. Wilson's praise that
`he kept,Mha Greeley up to the war.' "

!Undo° Dancing.
. IIimloo dancing bears no similarity te
that of the European;' Stage acting in
the a lap° of cairn -dies and tragedies is
hardly to be found among the Iiindoos.
The chief characteristic of their dancing
is tilt in' dress, which very often is horn -
tile and .rotesque to _look at. Their
1
dances consist in evresti ng, jumping and
betel! g the shouldere, h euls, ha mbeelegs,
' es if : agitnhed by violent convulsions, to
the sun t.L of musieal instruments. •
Tin IIiridoo taste for music is so mark-
ed that there is not a single gathering,
howeVer Small, which has not some. mu-
siciai e at.1 its head. The -instruments on
_whir i they play are, forthe most part,
He tii et' -and trumpets; . they ha ye -also
cymb ifs Old several' kinds of small drums.
The sounds produced . by these instru-
ment' are far from' pleasing and- may
even app e am' hideous to European teas.
TIv! 'mauve, on conauct or, is the most
remarkab e of all the inusicions. In beat-
ing t me fie taps with his fingers on a nar-
row druin. As he boats his shoulders,
head flints, thighs and, in fart. all the
part, off his body perform successive
nnive !melts, and simultimeously he utters

STORIES OF BANK NOTES.
Queer Plecores of Some of Those Pre-
served In England. -
A curious and interesting volume might
be written on the adventures or some
Bank of England notes from the day
when they leave the printing press, clean
and crisp and 'beautiful, to the last day
of their varied careers, when, shorn of
signature und with a hole punched
through the figures which have made
them so attractive, they are bundled into
a close furnace and converted into ashes.
Their leases of life vary as widely as
their adventures, for, while some return
to the fold with their work done within
a day or two, there may be seen its
Threadneedle street a note which was
wandering for a. century and a quartet
-before it came, again into the "Old
Lady's" keeping.
. One of the most historically interesting
of bank notes WV that for £1,000 with
which Admiral Cochrane paid the in-
iquitous fine imposed on him in 1814. It
may be remembered that this most gal-
lant of sailors had been accused of con-
spiring to defraud the Stock Exchange
by circulating a false report of the death
of Napoleon and had been sentenced to a
fine of £1,000, 12 months' imprisonment
and an hour in the pillory.
A public subscription was raised among
his constituents for the payment of his
fine, and the admiral thus indorsed the
note which they presented him:

In a mood of rare extravagance .the
bank once printed four notes, each for
11,000,000, and promptly destroyed the
plate. Two of these notes came into the
very appropriate hands of Rothschilds
and Coutts, where for a -time they at-
tracted many open mouthed spectators.
The only notes approaching these in
value were two for £100,000 each, which
were destined to a very "short life."
Bank of England notes have often, as
perhaps is not unnatural, been associated
with tragedies and crime. It is not many
years since a young gentleman of the
name of Swann was found dead, shot by
his own hand, in a London attic. He had
squandered a large fortune in every kind
of dissipation, and when he was reduced
to his last £5 note he decided that life had
nothing more to offer him.
On a table by the side of his revolver
was found a charred portion oi a bank
note, with which, in bravado, he had lit
his last cigar, and on it these words were
penciled, "The last note of a dying
Swoon."
In the days when to steal or forge a
bank note was a crime punishable by
death the histories of many notes were
tragic in the extreme. The circumstances
of one memorable ease arc- peculiarly sad.
A certain young man called Howland
was accused by his uncle, a merchant in
the city, of stealing a £50 note from the
writing table in his study. Although it
was not proved that the note had ever
been in his possession or that it had been
cashed, the circumstances were consider-
ed suspicious enough to justify convic-
tion, and the young man, who was pop-
ular and of irreproachable character, was
sentenced to death.
Sonic years after his execution the note
for which his life was sacrificed was
found in a recess in the library chimney,
where it is supposed a draft had carried
it.

How They Repealed the Law.
Wilhelm Liebknecht in his memoirs of
Karl Marx tells how the people of Lon-
don forced' the repeal of thd law pro-
hibiting the sale of beer on Sunday,
which at the time was claimed to have
been made by the aristocrats to "impress
virtue and morale on the common peo-
ple."
"But the people of London," Stty,S Lieb-
knecht, "don't understand a joke when
an attack is made on their stomachs. By
the hundred thousand they wandered out
to Hyde park on the Sunday after the
passage of that bill and thundered- into
the cars of the pious aristocratic males
'and females who were enjoying their
rides in carriages and on horseback a
sneering `Go to church!' so lend that the
• pious males and feniales were terror
stricken. On the next Sunday the quar-
ter of a million had increased to a half
million, and the 'Go to church!' had be-
come
million,,
and more serious, and by
the third Sunday the measure Was al-
ready revoked."

A gentleman called into one of our leading dung
stores the other day, and after purchasing a 50e
bottle of Royal Glycerated Balsam of Fir, made the
remark "Well, I've come back to Balsam of .F.r.
I've tried nearly everything advertised, but I find
this does me brtttr than any of them." This has
been the experience of a great many. It's hard to
resist the takingadvertisements and guarantees pub-
lished in connection with some cough remedies, but
Royal Glycerated'Balsam of Fir stands on its own
merits, unequalled as a sure, safe and speedy cure
for Coughs, Hoarseness and any soreness or irrita-
tion in the throat/or bronchial tubes It's equally
suitable for all ages. Don't be put off by prepara-
tions said to be " just as good," get it; 25c and 50e
