The mother of Frank Walworth is the daughter of Colonel John J Hardin, who saved Mr. Lincoln from the remorse which would have overshadowed his life if b had killed General Shields. Colonel Hardin was & prominent Whig politician, and was esteemed "the bravest man in Illinois." He was killed at the bat lie of Buena Vista, and in his death fairly earned the distinction which his admiring friends had given him while living. Mr. Lincoln was his intimate friend, and both men were gifted with a large sense of humor whieh they turned to good account. The hostile meeting between Mr. Lincoln and General Shields was brought about in this way : A witty young lady wrote a communication for one of the Springfield papers, in which there were several passages which the General was pleased to consider as personally offensive. He was a testy Irishman, who had a great deal of trouble, some dignity and expense. He forthwith went to the newspaper office and demanded the name of the correspondent, and this being refused, he gave the editor three day 8 in which to make up his mind, either to refer him to the writer or to take a whipping himself. The poor man was greatly distressed. He did not like to be guilty of the ungallant act of betraying his lady correspondent, a,od he did not care to have a fight with General Shields, who was a much stronger man. In thi dilemma he came to Mr. Lincoln and took him out of his trouble. The lawyer took the matter into consideration, but he could think of no stratagem for the relief of his friend. At last he said to him: "When Shields comes around with his club toll him that Ab direct ffxtion of the pistrn of atejEid: ,t.il.

Two or three of the machines are being constructed at San Jose, California, and he will have one of them over here in about a month, when he proposes giving a public practical working test of its powers and capabilities.
