amused Mr.. Lincoln so much, saws in his
last letter that ''these is the dark days OF

"We hev no way wv keeping our voters

Mr.. Nasty then lays down few plain
rules for the guidance of the faithful il
this matter, one of which is as follows:
"Alluz assert that the Niger Will never

Great and Small.

The well known big man of Hertford-
shire, Mr. G. j. Coleman. died on the ith
of April at the II pc age OF seventy-seven
Mr.. Coleman was formerly puryeyor TO
tue East India College, at Haileybury,
and hence will be well known TO MANY of
our readers In very early manhood he
weighed as little Is eleven stone. a mod
crate weight for a man standing about five
feet ten inches in his stockings. Upward
of quarter of century since he began
TO increase in size, and steadily progressed
until he obtained the enormous weight of
upward of thirty-one stone. Some idea
OF his great size may be gathered from the
fact that his igh measured four feet in
circumference; his knee was tliirtv-two
inches round. and his ankle twenty-eisht
inches Until within very few months.
he took his daily constitutional walk and
his fatal illness IAN attack of bronchitiS)
was only of few days duration. His
exterior coffin was three feet four inches
in breadth, and. from lis VAST size had TO
be conveyed 10 the church on a bier. ;iS no
ordinary hearse was sufficiently capaciouS
to receive it. The total weight OF the
coffin and contents was upward of eleven
hundred weight We believe that Mr..
Coleman was the heaviest man of the
present time, though lie fell considerably
short of the weight attained 10y the eele-.
br;ated Daniel Lambert.

Foolish AND FATAL WAGER.-One
day last week. two men, laborer and a
mechanical Irvington, on the Hudson riv-
er railroad, having been drinking freely.
over their cups made a wager that one
would remain longer on the track than
the other when the train was approaching.
When they heard the cars they linked
arms and walked toward the coming To-
comotive. Death was before them, but
neither attempted to unloose his hold mol
stepped aside. Again and again the en-
gineer whistled and ordered the brakes to
be put down, but it was too late; the
locomotive struck the men, and killed
them instantly. The poor fellows had
nerve certainly, which, if employed IA
tionally, might have produced creditable
results but it appears strange they coult
have been so bereft of reason as to throw
their lives away on a silly and trivial wa
ger.

THE CRoPs.-From all parts of the
country we receive encouraging accounts
respecting the crops. Despite the immense
drain upon the labor of the country, made
necessary by the war, a greater breadth
of soil than usual in the Northern States
has been devoted to agriculture In the
Southern States the total overthrow of a
system of labor inaugurated many genera
tions ago of course causes much embar-
rassment, and very little of the great
staples-cotton, sugar and tobacco-have
been planted; but considerable wheat has
been harvested in many portions, and the
corn crop, which is large, looks finely
In West Virginia, Maryland and New
Jersey the wheat harvest has already com.
menced, and a wonderful yield is promised
the reaper. Probably the largest hay
crop ever gathered will reward the farmers
of the Eastern States. Fruit promises al
enormous yield, and vegetables and every
thing in appearance that could be desired
1t seems that to the blessings of peace 81
lately vouchsafed us Is now to be addet
the boon of bountiful harvest.-Ne,

A PALACE OF BLOOD.-A correspond

elaborate description Of a gorgeous man
sion erected by the notorious Madame
Restell on the corner of Fifty-second
street and Fifth avenue, at the cost of
$l65,OOO. In conclusion he says:
Fifth avenue has had her shoddy aris-
tocracy-her petroleum aristocracy-and
how many others may not be enumerated,
cut is now to be honored with new aris-
tocracy What difference will it make in
the great city where money is the god of
all? In few months, perhaps this
abortioness will cease to ply her vocation,
and investing herself with the princely
fortune she has accumulated at the price
God only knows-of the virtue and life
OF thousands, will settle down as repre-
sentative leader of the ton, and give mag
niticent parties, which will be attended by

For every passage of the bible which au
