INTER FIETT IFTTHL fNCOLN-- EEATCCKI
 "LET HER PREPARE FOR lI-4R."-.tg

The Louisville Courier tells us that 1lr Thomas Hutchns0n, wealthy and ininently respectable citizen of Boyle county, Kentucky and a member of the Union party, was at Springfield Illinois, a few days ago and feel ing deeply interested in the maintenance of peace and anxious for the restoration of the Union, aud knowing that the question of peace or war Is substantially in the hands of Mr. Lincoln, through the influence which lis pc st,on gives him over the members of his party he sought au interview with the President elect, never doubting that he would learn that the patriotism and good sense and sound judgment of that distinguished gentleman were equal to the emergency and capable of carrying us peaceable and safely through the crisis
 The Courier says MT. Hutchinson has re- turned home without hope for the future Mr. Lincoln, in the conversation, referred to the anti-coercion resolutions passed through the House of Representatives at Frankfort, by a vote of 67 ayes and 6noes, and asked his visitor if they expressed the sentiment of the people of the State. Dlr. Hutchinson replied that the people of Kentucky are for the Union j; they will cling to it as the sheet-anchor of ther hopes; that they would make any sacri- fee which freemen could mako topreserve it j; but he thought if any attempt should be made to coerce the seeding States by Federal arms, they would make common cause with the South; that he believed the resolutions expressed the sentiment of the State. r... ..f
 Mr. Lincoln then said. with emphasis If Kentucky means to say that if the Federal Government undertook to recapture the South ern forts and collect the revenue and war en- sue. she will unite with the South, LET HER PREPARE FOR WAR"
 This is the word with the bark on it, and must, we suppose, be taken as the settled pur- pose and determination of the President elec': It is war. The Chicago land-sharks and specu- lators are triumphant, and Cincinnati to-day is to be made to say [" Amen!'

TLEHoIs AND TND1ANA-The aggregate population of Illinois is 1,691 ,23S, and that of Indiana 1,2I7 ,0Oo-giyiug to Illinois over Indiana a population of 344,z38. The area of Illinois is 55,41o square miles, and that of Indiana 23,Sg9 square miles, making an excess for Illinois of 2I ,59l square miles. The population per square mic IS q fraction over 8 for Indiana, and fraction over 30 for Illinois, showing that, while Illinois has a greater aggregate population, it is considera- ply less in proportion to territory than that of Indiana. In the last decade the increase has been fraction oyer 10 to the square mile in Indiana, and a fraction over l5 in Illinois. Relatively, the population of Indiana is great CT than that of Illinois, and it will likely re- main so, as the causes which have operated during the past ten years to develop Illinois will not influence its growth SD much in the present decade.

SHARP MERCANTILE PEArT1rr. - TT

SHARP MERCANTILE PRACTICE. - The New York Evening Post relates the following
 It is said that d certain New York mer- chant recently found himself in possession of linen wrappers of very good quality, but so short that no human beng, not even an Es- qu.maux, could wear them with comfort How to dispose of them to advantage was ques- ton difficult to solution; but his wits were equal to the emergency, and Ire hit upon the following plan lie sent. a stranger to cer- tain retail store with instructions to inquire for short linen wrapPer.. The merchant could not supply him, and the stranger in- quireI where he could Gad the article Next day another stranger was dispatched on the same mission, and next day another, and 50 on, until the retail merchant became con- yinced that there was an extraordinary de- mand for short linen wrappers and began to look about for supply. He did not succeed until he came to the establishment of tue mer- chant first mentioned. where he bought tho entire lot. It Is hardly necessary to add that there has been no demand for the article since.

Saxon, on the banks of the Arkansas river, about twenty five miles above Napoleon, was consumed. In the gin were seventyiye bales of cotton, and agricultural implements, all of which were destroyed. The loss cannot fall short of six thousand dollars The fire, like the ma jority of those by which so many gins have been destroyed this season, was the result of incendiarism.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF Mas. PATrEneaN

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF MRS. PATTERSON BoNApARTE.-The London News concludes an article on the coming trial inc Paris, be- tween the heirs of Prince Jerome, with these remarks:
 There is something truly noble and touch ing in the constahcy and courage of the re- markable woman who forms the not least conspicuous portion of the singular family picture thus exhibited to the world. Young, gifted and beautiful, she found herself desert cd by worthless husband, and her place openly given to another from motives of the merest ambition. No lure could induce her to accept rank or riches at his hands, or those of his aIl-powerful brother. No temptation could beguile her into parting with her son, who, to do him justice, seems to have inher- itcd the true dignity and spirit of his mother.
 In vindication of her insulted honor and that of her family, the Legislature of Mary land passed an act of divorce, by which she was set free when in the bloom of woman hood, to make another choice for life She did not do so, but was contented to live single until her son had grown to mans estate, and her grandson had entered the army of France, to win distinction in its heroic ranks, and she has outved the man who wronged her and the princess who supplanted her. She has lived to see the offspring of her girlish love recognized, after fifty years, as the lawfully born kinsman of the Emperor of the French; and she now only waits to hear the judgment of a French court of law, acknowledging as her lup and oip,tla ,acoonition which obo never ceased to claim. A characteristic trait may be mentioned of this singular woman, that indicates at once the moral and intelloc tual nature combined in hcr When offered the estate and title above mentioned in 1908. her answer was, '" Westphalia may, in his opinion. be great kingdom, but in mine, 1t is not large enough for two queens" It were an intolerab'e wrong if such woman should pass away before the battle of her life was won.

How TO WIN AT PoKER-The St. Louis Evening News says that on Tuesday night a party of gamblers were engaged in playing at a den on Locust street, when one of the party lost considerable amount of money. The lost money of the losing gambler was placed upon the table, and his opponent reach ing the cards to him, told him to < cut" He immediately did so by sticking his knife through the gamblers hand and pinnng 1t to the table He then grasped the money and in the excitement escaped.
