be better understood by applying it to-
a single article. Suppose, for Instance,

sons Island. They we're put of until
Friday, when they came again, and were
again put off until Saturday. At each
Of the interviews one Of the ladies urged
that her husband was religious man,
and on Saturday, when the President
ordered the release Of the prisoners, he
said to this lady: " You say your hus-
baud is religious man; tell biul when
you meet him that say I am no, much
Of Judge of religion, but that, in my

Offices have baen designated as money
order Offices, and the operation OF the
system commenced on the 1st inst. The
maximum amount for which money
order can be issued is fixed by luw at
$50, the, object Of the system being to
afford a cheap, immediate and safe aSen.
cy for the transfer through the mails OF
small SUNS of money. The tendency Of
the system is to exclude money from
the mails, the presence ofwhich insletters
is frequent cause Of tho loss Of CORE.
spondence, even when the letter does not
contain money. I would respectfully
suggest that tho business would bo (ucil-
itated BY enabling the postmasters having
moneys from this source to deposit in the
national banks designated by the Secre.
tary Of the Treasury as dopositories of
the public moneys, TO their own credit
and at their risk. and thereby relieve the
department from the necessity Of fur.
nshins vaults and safes. Substantial
advantages would also result to the
public interests by permitting all deputy
postmasters to deposit 10 those banks any
public moneys in their hands, undef like
conditions; and I recommend such;mod.
ifcation of the law as will authorize such
deposits to be made under the direction
Of the Postmaster general.

President Lincoln's First Speech

The President of the United States
made his maiden speech in Sangamon
county, at Pappysville Cor Richland) in
the year 1892. He was then Wing,
and was candidate for the Legislature
of this State. The speech was shurp and
sensible. 70 understand why it was so
short, the following facts will show
First, Mr.. Lincoln was 4 young man,
say twenty-five years Of age, and timid.
Secondly, his friends and opponents, in
the joint discussion, had rolled the sun
nearly down. Nr. Lincoln saw that it
was not q proper time to discuss the
questions fully, and hence he cut his re-.
marks short. The time, according to
w. II. Hcrndon's informant-who has
kindly furnished this valuable reminis.
ccncc for us-was 1892, it may have
been 1891. The President lived at that
time with James a.. UerDdon, at Salem,
Sangamon county, who heard the speech,
talked about it, and knows the report to
be correct. The speech, which was
characteristic Of the man, was as fol.
lows: ..-'. A. ... "a. p, -.
"GENrLEMEN, FELLOW CITIZENS: ]
presume you all know who am. um
humble Abraham Lincoln. l have been
solicited by my friends to become a can
didate for tho Legislature. My politics
are short and sweet, like au oht rcoman $
dance. am in favor of National
Bank. am in favor Of the internal i'm
provemcnt system, and a high protective
tariff. These are my sentiments and
political principles. If elected, I shall
bc thankful. If not it will be all the
same" - Springfield (W) Journal.
