SEfte Herald and ^deertiser. Newnan, Ga., Friday, June 29, 1888. Lincoln, accompanied by his wife, Miss ; WARNER’S SAFE CURE, Harris, and Major Itathbone, of Al bany, N. Y., was occupying a private box at Ford’s theatre, in the city ofj E. VAN WINKLE & Co. Washington. The play was “Our Amer- ican Cousin,” with Sothem in the prin-! | cipal role.

Then, one after another of the po licemen would lean over, catch the odor of beer in tlie child’s breath, and repeat the verdict drunk. “Yes, sir, drunk on beer just the same as his daddy. That baby ain’t much over a year old, eit her.” “No, he ain’t. Youngest drunk ever I saw. Wonder if they are going to make a case against him.” ! “Good lookin’ little shaver, ain’t he?” All this while the baby was tossing restlessly on a doubled up stat ion-house blanket that had been thrown on the floor right next to the counter there in the oflice, unconscious of everything but his own baby dreams. As the morning watch came in one by one, or in little groups, the patrol men would stop, and wonder, and the at delighted. The lines which care and responsibility had so deeply graven on his brow were now 1 scarcely visible. Before leaving the the atre he had pronounced it the happiest day of his life. He looked, indeed, as if he now fully realized tlie consumma tion of the long cherished and fondest aspiration of his heart. He was at length the undisputed chief magistrate or a confederation of .States, constitut ing the freest and most powerful com monwealth of modern times. At some period of the performance Sothern appeared on the stage with “Miss Meredith,” the heroine, on one arm, and a wrap or shawl carelessly thrown over the other. The latter seated herself upon a garden lounge placed upon the stage near the box oc cupied by the President on the occasion. “Lord Dundreary” retires a few paces distant from the rustic seat, when “Miss Meredith,” glancing languidly at his lordship, exclaims; “Me lord, will you kindly throw my has been before the public j now for about ten years, and in 1 that time has proved itself to' be ALL THAT IT HAS BEEN i REPRESENTED.

But to lie in a boat, hidden away in the darkness, crouching back in the shadows of the glowing decoy, waiting through long hours of darkness, listening to every sound, gun in hand, finger on the trig ger, hiding, in cold and mist, silent, mo tionless, waiting, watching until the beautiful creature comes timidly to the water, lifts its startled head to gaze with bright, curious eyes at the light that is death, coming nearer and near er—to kill this creature then, at pistol range, in cold blood—pshaw! this is not hunting.
