LINCOLN’S DISLIKE OF SUMMER.
I have spoken of an exception to
the rule of the President's freedom
from his relation to the public men of
the time. The exception was Charles
Sumner. It is a curious fact that
a man who was one of the leaders in
the party which bad twice chosen Mr.
Lincoln to be president who was an
exponent of the belief which deter-
mined the most momentous action of
Mr. Lincoln's career—the emancipa-
tion of the slaves —should have been
the only man as far as my knowl-
edge goes to obtain the President's
bitter dislike. * • *
Senator Sumner was a fine look-
ing man. His presence was tall and
commanding; he was well groomed
even exquisite in his appointments.
He affected the English type in his
clothes wearing large checks and
plaids and was fond of displaying
white spats—which were not at any
time often seen upon our statesmen.
He was a friend of the Chases a par-
ticularly warm friend of Kate Chase
Sprague who sympathized with him
in his matrlmon’al difficulties. He
was also curiously enough in view
of his relationship both to the
Chases and to Mr. Lincoln a friend to
Mrs. Lincoln. Not only was he pres-
ent at state receptions and dinners
(which of course would argue noth
ing.) but he was Mrs. Lincoln’s es-
cort at the second inaugural ball—es-
plcfally Invited he told a friend by
Mr. Lincoln; and as he was a member
with Senator and Mrs. Harlan the
future father-in-law and mother-in-
law of Robert Lincoln of the gay par-
ty which Mrs. Lincoln brought down
to City Point after the fall of Rich-
mond.
Whatever were his grounds for dis-
like of Sumner the president did not
interfere in the friendship of Mrs.
Lincoln for Sumner nor the admira-
tion which the Massachusetts Senator
publicly testified to Mrs Lincoln’s re-
ally brilliant mind. It seemed to have
been entirely personal to himself.
The antipathy was none the less in-
tense. It has never been disclosed
that Mr. Lincoln went to the length
of refusing Mr. Sumner admission to
his home. The President instructed
Elfonso Dunn who was on duty in
the corridor on that occasion not to
allow Charles Sumner to enter the
White House. This is a matter of my
personal knowledge It must have
been a serious offense which could
have induced so charitable a man and
a man so filled with kindness as was
President Lincoln to take measures
apparently so severe. — Harner’s
Monthly.

EGOTISTIC AGE.
Some people brag
About their swag.
And others say
How much they pay
For little things.
Like brooches—rings
A few are stuck
Upon their pluck
And some do praise
Their learned ways
Alas but few
Now livng do
Not think they are
The best by far!

THE BOOM IN JAPAN.
In the course ot a remarkable an>
tide in Appleton's Magazine for June
Thomas F. Millard tells some strange
truths about Japan. Incidentally he
says: “The tremendous Impulse given
to commercial and industrial activi-
ties in Japan since the war has at-
tracted much atentlon and been the
cause of much comment usually op-
timistic. Since peace was declared
(taking the latest official statement)
there have been 314 new enterprises
Capitalized or old capitalizations in-
creased with an aggregate capital of
$197151514 gold. This is nearly one-
third the total capitalized Industry of
the country previous to the war. The
enterprises represented in this enorm-
ous capitalization cover a wide field
but they nearly all belong in the cate-
gory of what may be termed modern
industries in the sense applied in
Japan. For instance there are 51
new electrical companies with an ag-
gregate capital of $55000000 gold; 10
new navigation and dock companies
with a total capital of $20000000; 5
new insurance companies with a to-
tal capital of $11000000. There are
11 new steam railroad companies
with $10000000 capital; 14 new min-
ing companies with $6500000 capi-
tal; while old corporations have in-
creased their capital $34000000. To
many of them direct government as-
sistance is being given while nearly
all of them have had or hope to se-
cure stimulation through the govern-
“ This enumeration of the new com-
mercial activities of the nation does
not however include the greatest en- ।
terprise of all. This is the national
corporation with a proposed capital
of $100000000 gold for the purpose
of pushing Japanese commerce and
interest in Korea and Manchuria.
This great company in wo far as
its components have become public
is to include the government with
all the associated interests ot can
marshal and is to be thrown open
to popular subscription with a view
to inducing the common people and
idle classes to invest thus enlisting
their sympathy and direct pecuniary
interest in the success of the
scheme.”
