Lamon, was also
his friend, part

cabinet wrote of
Lamon that he
"was with him

whom he so
much confided
and to whom he
gave such free
expression o f
his feelings to

and troubles in conducting his great of
fice." Born in Virginia in 1826 or 1827,
Lamon at an early age removed to
Danville, 111. He practiced law at Dan
ville, and in 1SS2 a card in the Illinois
Citizen of that place announced that
"Abraham Lincoln. Springfield, and W.
H. Lamon, Danville, Attorneys at Law,
having formed a co-partnership, will prac
tice in the Courts of the Eighth Judicial
Circuit and the Superior Court, and all
business intrusted to them will be at
tended to with promptness and fidelity."
When Mr. Lincoln was making his plans
to leave Springfield for Washington for
his first Inauguration his friends became
preatly nlarmed for his safety, discover
ing. ii3 they tliousht. that a widespread
plot existed for the abduction or assassi
nation of the president elect en route.
Mr. Lamon was selected by Mr. Lincoln
to be his bodyguard on the Journey.
When the memorable trip was made
Mr. Lamon was more than six feet high,
strong, stout and athletic. He was, says
another intimate personal, friend of Mr.
Lincoln, "a Hercules In stature. He was
skilled In all the ways of the manly art
and, although prudent and cautious, was
thoroughly courageous and bold."
' After Mr. Lincoln was Inaugurated one
Of his first official acts was to appoint
Mr. Lamon marshal of the District of

other things, with the duty of securing
the personal safety of the president and
the other high governmental officials.
It is said on good authority that there
was not a time during the civil war when
there was not in Washington or Balti
more or In the vicinity of those cities
some conspiracy to injure or capture Mr.
Lincoln or one or more of the members
of his cabinet. Mr. Lamon has left it on
record that be discovered and foiled many
such plots the details of which have never
come to the light of public knowledge.
It may be asked why so vigilant a body'
guard, aided by all the resources of the
federal and district, governments, could
not prevent or foil the fatal pistol shot
of Booth on the night of April 14. 1885.
The answer may be found partly In Mr.
Lincoln's own words "You may guard
me at a single point, but I will neces
sarily be exposed at others. Tee truth is.
If any man has made up his mind that be
will give his life for mine he can take
mine" and partly in the fact that on
April 11, 186S. Mr. Lamon was sent by the
president to attend a convention held in
Richmond for the purpose of devising
means to get that state back into the
Union.
Before leaving for Richmond Marshal
Lamon had a final interview with the
president. "Make me one promise," said
he to Mr. Lincoln. "What is that?" asked
the latter. "Perhaps I can." "I want you
to promise me not to go to the theater
during my absence. After some further
talk the president said, "I will do the
best I can," and then, turning to John P.
Usher, secretary of the interior, who was
present at the interview, he said, in sub
stance. "My friend is crazy on the sub
ject of my assassination."
When Secretary Seward regained con
sciousness after the attack upon him,
made at the same time that Mr. Lincoln
was shot, almost his first words on learn
ing . that the president was dead were:
"Where is Colonel Lamon? If he had
been in the city this would not have hap
pened." Many times afterward he re
peated this remark, and his words were
echoed by those who were nearest and
dearest to the martyred Lincoln.
After Mr. Lincoln's death Colonel La
mon lived in Washington for many years.
He removed later to Martinsburg, W. Va.
There, on May 8, 1893, he passed away.

Mawley's Strong Lead.
The first preliminary canvass
of Marion county made by the j
friends of Willis C. Hawley, can-i
didate for congress, has just been
completed. The total registra
tion of the county shows about
4,000 republican votes. Of
iht-se nearly 2,000 are in the ten
Salem precincts. The poll of
the Salem precincts, " giving all
doubtful voters to the opposition,
shows eighty per cent for Haw
lev It is practically the same
in Aurora, and higher than that
in Hubbard. In Jefferson it is
almost as large. The strength of
the opposition is in Woodburn
and the two Silverton precincts.
Hawley may lose in these, with
possibly two others. The plu
ralities for Hawley in Aurora,
Hubbard, and Jefferson, and the
ten Salem precincts, will repre
sent his plurality in the county,
as the remaining precincts will
more than offset any pluralities
the opposition mav secure in Sil
ver ton and Woodburn.
Mr. Hawley has visited every
county in the district except Cur
ry, Lake, Lincoln and Tilla
mook, and he has active workers
in all ot these. He has every as
surance that he will have plu-
alities in ten of the seventeen
counties, and more than an even
chance in three of the remaining
seven. A careful and very con
servative estimate, based upon
reports from every part of the
district gives him 45 per cent of
of the total republican vote.
Of course these claims will be
disputed. To acknowledge them
would be an open confession of
defeat. Let the voter put this
statement in his vest pocket and
keep it there until April 21, and
he will find that this estimate,
like every other thus far made by
the friends of Mr. Hawley in
his campaign, has been more
than verified. It is no longer a
question as to his success but as
o the amount of his plurality.
A Worthy Undertaking.
The ladies of the Coffee Club
are the first to take decided action
this spring in regard to beautify
ing the city of Corvallis. The
scene of operation is at the city
hall, where on Wednesday morn
ing a force . of men began a
vigorous campaign against disor
der and neglect, and inaugurated
system ot improvement that
should be generally imitated.
The grounds around the city hall
ire to be converted into a verita
ble 'bower of beauty." Beds
ire being prepared and all sorts
of . choice roses and shrubbery
will soon be put out. Along the
cement walks will be the finest
roses to be secured, climbing
roses and other vines will be
trained along the walls and up to
the windows of the hall, and the
grounds complete will show what
i little labor and pride can do in
the way of beautifying the city.
Who will be the next to take
up this much-needed work? Why
net look after the church grounds
a little, and to private yards in
particular? Flowers are one of
hz cheapest luxuries on eail'i
and one of the most satisfying,
ytt many a yard is barren and
dreary from lack of investment of
a few pennies in flower seeds.
If you cannot afford the more ex
pensive bulbs and roots of the
choicest flowers, buy a few pack
ages ot the good old-fashioned
po.-ies tnat were your grand
mother's pride; they are fragrant
and beautiful and will give an
air of cheery comfort to your
premises that will be of inesti
mable value to you and to your
neighbors. Let this season te
an epoch in the history ot Cor
vallis along this line of improve
ment, and begin at once, for the
days are passing swiftly, and "the
g ,od old summer time" brings
other thoughts than those of rake
and shovel.

NATIONAL FLORAL EMBLEMS
How Ireland's Shamrock and Scot
land's Thistle Were Chosen
Originally.
The flower of our country is pop
ularly supposed to be the golden
rod, says the New York Herald.
Some years ago when the choice of
a national flower was left for the
children in the public schools to
decide by vote, the choice fell to
the wild rose. But nine people ou t
of every ten would tell you that
the goldenrod was the one decided
upon, and that flower is perhaps
best suited for the purpose, for it
abounds in all parts of the United
States and is rarely found in any
other country.
In England in the fourteenth
century the national flower was the
broom, or planta genista. It was
not till the reign of Henry VI. that
the national emblem came to be
the rose.
The story of Ireland's shamrock
is a very pretty one. St. Patrick
was one day preaching at Tara try
ing to explain the doctrine of the
trinity. Plucking a shamrock
which was peeping up through the
turf at his feet, he said: "Do you
not see these three leaves on the
one stalk ? Such is the doctrine of
the great three in one." From that
time the shamrock was the na
tional emblem in Ireland.
The tale of the Scottish thistle
is a very different one. In the reign
of Malcolm, in the year 1010, the
Danes swooped down upon the
coast of Aberdeenshire by night,
intending to surround and storm
the great fortress of Staines. The
first installment crept up bare
footed and dropped into the moat,
but they found they were not in
water at all. The moat was dry
and covered with a great growth
of thistles, which stung their un
protected feet and caused them to
cry out unmercifully. The sound
roused the sentinels and in a mo
ment a volley was fired upon the
Danes, who broke and fled. From
this fact the thistle was given its
high place in the esteem of the
Scotchmen.
France is the only country which
allows a flower to appear in its na
tional heraldry. But the fleur-de-lis,
or three lilies, is so different
from most flowers that it does nor
seem out of place on the national
coat-of-arms. Canada has adopt
ed the scarlet maple leaf, which
makes miie of her woods blaze in
autumn. The Japanese have the
chrysanthemum, and fittingly, too,
for the island is the birthplace of
this gorgeous flower. From earli
est time Greece has had the fra
grant narcissus, and the pome
granate blossom has been the flor
al emblem of Spain. Switzerland
claims that flower most difficult of
an to fifeh, toedelvcfegt .

ERRORS IN LORE OF CIGARS
White Ash No Test of Quality, Nor
Dark Wrapper of Strength
Free Burner a Good One.
White ash upon a cigar has
been popularly supposed to indi
cate the excellence of the weed,
but, as a matter of fact, its only
indication is of the presence of
potash in the leaf, says the New
York Herald.
Tobacco rich in chloride of sodi
um burns with imperfect combus
tion and with a dark ash. As the
value of a cigar is dependent upon
the freedom with which it burns,
a white ash may be a rough test
of excellence, but a cigar with a
dark ash, properly rolled, may
burn more evenly than one rich in
potash but imperfectly made, and
at best the "white ash" is but a
rudimerary test.
