C. Strange to say, no exercises are held any where, so far as known, to mark the memorable day. It was on Good Friday, the 1 4th of April, 1866, that the country, rejoicing over the conclusion of the Civil war. which had cost so many precious lives and enormous sacrifices of money, was plunged into darkest gloom by the hands of a fanatical assassin. ' On the morning of that eventful day President Lincoln had the first opportunity in many months to have a long talk with his eldest son. Cap tain Robert Lincoln, who had been serving on the staff of Gen. Grant Father and son breakfasted together at the White House and then had a long talk concern ing the profession which the young staff officer was to adopt It was due to President Lincoln's advice that Capt Lin coln gave up his military career and con tinued his study of law. Later in the forenoon President Lincoln attended the last meeting of the Cabinet All the members were present excepting Mr, Seward, the Secretary of State, who had broken hit Jaw in falling from his horse a short time before. Not a single one of the members of Prttident Lincoln's Cab' inet is now living. Gen. Grant was present by invitation and occupied the va cant seat of Secretary Seward. The situation after the close of the war was discussed and President Lincoln spoke with kindness of Geo. Lee and ex pressed himself strongly against harsh measures in the South. The terms of Lee's surrender were fully approved During the afternoon the President re ceived many visitors and toward evening he was tired out. He did not wish to go to the theatre, but did not want to disap point the people who were sure to crowd the house, as it had been announcod that President Lincoln and General Grant would attend the performance. Just before starting for the theatre, President Lincoln paid his customary visit to Secretary Stanton, at the war de partment. It just happened that the President while returning to the White House, accompanied by Secretary Stan' ton, referred to the Secretary's often eX' pressed fear that some assassin would seek the life of the President. Mr. Lin coin said he was confident that hit guardt would not allow an assassin to get at him, and even if some fanatic should suc ceed, he would not be able to escape with his life. A few hours later. President Lincoln, with Mrs. Lincoln, his two sons and Ma' jor Rathbone occupied a box in Ford's theatre, on the right side of the stage and about fourteen feet above the level of the stage. It was at the close of the first act that Booth fired the fatal shot and leaped from the box upon the stage, injuring his leg by falling, having caught his foot in one of the flags on the side of the stage. Before Booth escaped, he stabbed Will iam S. Withers, of Wakefield, who blocked his way. Withers was arrested, but proved hit innocence and positively ident ified Booth as the assassin. Wounded to death, President Lincoln was carried from the theatre, amid scene of indescribable excitement He was takn to a house across the street occupied by a tailor named Peterson and year. He was at that time one of Presi dent Lincoln's secretaries. On the night President Lincoln's death Mr. Hay be came the possessor of the ring worn by the dead President He had it made over with a crystal setting, containing a lock of President Lincoln's hair. It was this ring which President Roosevelt wore at his inauguration, at the suggestion of Mr. Hay. . " , LOOK HERE !
