IN ssIncfdcnt,, to 'sJu dge From.0

The Republican journals and letter wri-
ters are making themselves appear supreme
" RIDICULOUS in attempting to "write up''
the personal history, life, incidents, rcla-
tions, &C., Of Abe Lincoln. The silly twad-
die about his wife, her size, weight, looks,
years, clothes, &C., and the Intensely thrill
ing" description of the interview between
Mr.. Ashum and one of Abe's boys who was
swinging on the gate with "lettcr in the
post Office" gently undulating in the morn
ing breeze, are fair specimens. The corrc-
spondent of the Cleveland Herald, how
ever, caps the climax of this nonsense
Just hear him:
"While we were passing through Whine.
bago, on this route--a small town at which
our train did not stop--some Of the New
Jersey delegates waved their handkcrchiefs
while passing small house, some ten rods
from the track, and cried "Hurrah for Old
Abe" Two ladies standing in the doorway
at once felt for their handkerchiefs to return
the compliment, but one Of them finding
herself minus the wiper, dextcrously raised
her skirt behind, unpinned her white pet
ticoat, and, on it's falling to the ground. in.

from the crowd of passengers. You can

Curious Coincidence.

1--WE happened yesterday" says the New
Orleans (La.) Bee, 'to glance at the COL
umns of violent Southern States Rights
journal, and Immediately after to look over
those of an equally decided Republican sheet
Both abounded in the bitterest dcnuncation
of Stephen A. Douglas 1t would be diff
cult to determine whether the honorable
Senator is hated more fiercely by the South
ern Nullifers or the Northern Abolitionsts.
This coincidence, and might be deemed a
paradox without the explanation. Douglas
is detested by the ultra men of the South,
because he is firmly attached to the Union,
and because the doctrines he processes on
the slavery question would check agitation,
If carried into effect He is abhored by the
Republicans because he is the strongest
among their opponents, and they fear that
if he were chosen by the Democrats, he
would be elected, and that if elected their
occupation would be gone. Perhaps the
moderate and conservative citizen might
conclude that the hostility of the two ex-
tremes is the most satisfactory proof that
the opinions and conduct of Mr.. Douglas
are just what honest men and patriots de-
sire. At all events, Disunionism and Abo-
litionism may shake hands, They agree
heartily and tratcrnally on one point-they
hate Douglas with truculcnt and unmiti-
gated hatred'

Kate's eyes glistened when she heard this,
and thought Of the temptation to ride home
that God had helped her to resist.
"Take me with you to your me ther,' she
said, still holding the girls hand ''such
honesty and thankfuln:ss shall not 60 un-
rewarded"
1t was pretty long walk over near the
North River, but they finally reached the
tenement house, in the basement of which
the little girl lived. A pale, sickly woman
was lying on bed in the single room which
they occupied, but she looked up eagerly as
she heard the child's voice say, "here, moth
er, the beautiful lady has come hcrself."-
Kate sat down by the bedside and lent her
ear to tale of want and privation Of which
she had never dreamed, and leaving what
little pocket money she had with her, she
promised to see her again; then she started
for her husbands Office.
Mr.. Alair was poring over his account
books when Kate rushed in with bright
eyes and glowing cheeks, and holding up
the bracelet before his eyes, she exclaimed: {:
"See there, Henry, that's what come of CIV
ing my sixpcnce to the street sweeper"
Her husband looked up, glad and sur
prised, first at seeing her, and then because
the bracelet was found and then he listened
while she told him her interview with the
child and her mother. "And now Henry,
am going to ask you if may do one thing
i really do not need so nice set Of furs
as you gave me money for, I want to take
some of It and buy fuel and lights and pro-
visions for those poor people they had nei-
thcr coal nor candles, and nothing but lit
tie cold cabbage for their dinner"
Henry shook his head. but it was not a
very negative shake. "Nobody can resist
you Kate" said he smiling, "and you may
do as you please with the money" Kate
thanked him with her moistened eyes more
than with her voice, and as the door closed
after her. Henry said to himself, "There
goes an angel; and if ever that text, He
that giveth to the poor shall not lack was
meant for anybody, it was meant for her."

ADVICE TO CHlLDREN-A little boy (if he
is only good little boy and don't tell
naughty stories) needn't learn how to spell
in ''a-b abb or parse any more. When he
gets big enough he must take an axe and
go right into the woods somewhere and
split rails, and keep splitting till he has split
full thousand. Then when he grows up
to be a great, tall man he will stand chance
of being elected
president of these United States,
To lick molasses candy and swing upon the
gates"
What do you think of that, my fine fellow?
Now every good little boy who wants to get
along in the world must remember what we
tell him. When your mother wants to make
you learn ugly, hard words, don't you do it,
but go right off into the woods and split
rails.-Chicag K. r. Gazette.
