PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND His LAW.
PARTNER,--A correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser writing from Hi
nols in regard to Mr.. Henderson, the
law-partner of Mr.. Lincoln, who is
writing life of the late President

There is nothing in history more
touching than their dealings with each
other. For more than twenty-five
years they were partners, but never
kept a separate account; held each
others money as they did their own.
and never suspected or experienced
wrong; never had a misunderstand-
ing nor a grievance. When Mr.. Lin.

together all these years and have new

started to Mr.. Henderdon's eyes /; he
put out his hand. "Mr. Lincoln J"

day OF the assassination all the doings
OF the firm were in the name of Lin.

Horrible Murder in Minnesota.

We take the following account of
the most horrible murder, of Josiah
Stanford, from the NorthfeId MINI.
Recorder. Mr. Stanford was former.
ly from this county, and was broth.
er of Samuel Stanford, of Irasburgh:
1t becomes our duty to chronicle
one of the most atrocious murders
that we have ever known. Last Tues
day morning, Josiah Stanford left his
pleasant home never to return alive,
but to die by the hand of fiend in
human shape. The facts are briefly
as follows:
Alfred Hoyt, the murderer lives in
a log shanty about two miles north.
west of Dundas in the town of Bridge.
water; Josiah Stanford, the victim
lives about three quarters OF a mile
from Hoyt's on the road to Dundas.
Last Tuesday morning about half
past 7 o'clock Mr.. Stanford left home
to go to his sugar bush beyond Hoyt's
and when he arrived there he found
Hoyt's cows in his sugar bush and
drove them out. Hoyt was at work
near his home with an axe and when
he saw Stanford, left his work at the
house, and pursued and killed him,
about twenty rods from his (Hoyt's)
house, at the side Of the road, the
fiendish murderer not satisfied with
his killing the victim, cut his left hand
completely off, and then hacked and
terribly mangled his head with the
axe, which seemed only to arouse the
demon within him, for he started for
Stanford's house, telling his wife as
he passed his own house that he had
"killed old man Stanford and was 90
ing to murder the rest of them. y
When he arrived at Stanford's house
he went into the kitchen where Mrs.
Stanford was at work, and raising his
axe said, 81 have murdered the old
man and now | have come to kill YOU
God damn you'-Mrs. Stanford
seized the axe and by superhuman
efforts, held it so he could not strike
her with it, her little girl seeing the
trouble ran to the barn for her two
brothers, they came just in time, for
he had let 60 of the axe with one hand
and was striking Mrs. Stanford in the
face endeavoring to knock her down !;
then came a terrible tussle between
the Oldest bov and the murderer, in
which the boy with the aid of his
brother and mother came out success.
full, or rather succeeded in getting the
murderer down and tieing' him, and
holding him until the neighbors ar
rived, when the vile wretch was taken
to Dundas and from there on the cars
to Faribault. Alfred Hoyt the muir.
derer has been noted as man of very
quick temper and without principle.
he was a bounty jumper and a de.
serter. He has a wife and seven
children, the Oldest twelve years of.
age and the youngest four weeks old.
His age is thirty-three. Josiah Stan.
ford has always been loved and re-
spected in the neighborhood as a quiet
lnoffensive neighbor. and a kind hus.
band and father. He leaves a wife
and four children; he was ffty.fye

BRAZILIAN EMANcIPATIoN.-Th e
Diero, published at Rio Janeiro,
gives the following as the basis of the
emancipation scheme said to have
been unanimously agreed to in the
Council,of State
"Fva-Slavery shall cease totally
in the year 1900, that is, in thirty
three years hence.
!. siSecond-The State shall indemnify
those citizens who may still own slaves
| at that period.
.Izwd-From the date of the pro-
mitigation OF this decree, all children
born to slaves shall be free. llqJ1
L. Fourth-Those children who may
be educated In the houses of their pa
rents masters, shall serve them till
they reach their twentieth year, and
will then be restored to freedom.
h.. FyM-There will be established
courts of emancipation in all the towns
to enforce the law and see to Its
proper execution. r baa ca
Sirth-A fixed amount will be set
aside for the emancipation of the
slaves of the nation, and the same
terms will be agreed upon to effect
the Liberation of the slaves owned by
religious orders as may be made to
purchase the freedom of those held by
the Government. ~ .a.aw a.H5
SeueHth-There will be appropri-
! ated fund for the annual purchase
of a certain number of slaves, so that
but few may be in bondage when the
hour Of general emancipation is at
! hand. r~r- aee4sr -ru aea
The opinion of the Brazilian people
on the subject of slavery is well
known. All detest the institution in
its principle. Demonstrations prove
that all are in favor of the spirit
of the plan developed in the
foregoing summary. 1t is looked up.
on as skillful and patriotic solution
of the great problem that has long
weighed upon the mind of the country.
Accomplished by these means, eman-
cipation will be effected in Brazil
without creating either disturbance
or financial crisis"

A CURIOSITY.-Dr. Miles has an
apparatus for manufacturing ice in Is
seconds, but he does not use it for
that purpose; instead he uses it for
chilling or benumbing the gums and
tooth so that it can be extracted with
out pain. He is absent in New York
and Boston for a couple of weeks,
and will have his office open on the
9th. Those from a distance wish
ing his services for extracting, filling,
or for artificial teeth, can make an ap-
pointment by letter, and they will be

HE HISTORY OF THE SECRET SERVICE DURING
THE REBELLIoN.-By Gen. L. C. Baker, late
Provost Marshal and Chief Detective of the
War Department. Jones Brothers g. Co., Phil
adephia, Pa, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Davenport,
Iowa.
This Is the most interesting and
valuable contribution that has vet
been made to the eventful history of
the late war. 1t was not generally
supposed that the public would ever
be favored with a knowledge of the
operations of the Secret Bureau of the
War Department. But here we have
a full and authentic history of its rise,
progress, means Of information, meth
DDS of work, by the Chief of the Bu-
reau himself The book is filled with
strange and startling revelations
each chapter contains matter enough
for a dozen romances. The expert
ences of General Baker throw in the
shade all the revelations made by the
chiefs of the secret police of the
European Governments. This nara
ton will probably startle a great
many staid people from their proprie-
ty, for he places numerous high ofici-
ais In curious predicaments. His bold
and fearless course will doubtless gain
him friends among the people, who
hitherto knew him only as the i'm
placable agent of a secret, swift, stern.
and remorseless power. Now he
quietly shows the public all the springs
and intricate machinery of the great
power which he directed for five years.
The work is complete in TOO octave
pages, excellently printed on fine
white paper, and embelished with
seventeen engravings. "Sold only

1t is probably known to many
readers of the Standard that the In
dependent, originally established as a
religious paper, has fallen from grace,
and has become the organ of all kinds
ofsocial and religious humbugs. The
Round Table, literary paper, notices
as follows the somerset of the indie
pendent:
at has employed the best talent of
the land. 1t has gained an enormous
circulation. Its business manage.
ment has been excellent. 1t has been
the wonder of the land. But in its
turn it has been the advocate ofnearly
every heresy In Christendom. 1t has
been true to nothing but a political
party. 1t has now urged its litera-
~ contributors, now its financial arti-
clcs, and again the printed sermons,
and then its political power, as an in
due ement to subscribers. The
amount of plain and consistent family
religious teaching which it has con-
tanned in recent days could be COM
prised within very small space. 1t
represented no denomination squarely
and honestly. Itprostituted its enor-
nous influence to low and party ends.
1t has done a vast amount of mischief.
1t has probably done more than any
other religious paper to generate
skepticism among believers. In short,
it became so VIGOROUSLY a religious
humbug, that with an unwonted sense
of propriety, it has at last relinquish-
ed the pretense of being religious at

This comparative statement shows
an average advance of about 50 per
cent; but a fair comparison requires
the reduction Of present currency
prices to gold, and, with the premium
at 30, the actual advance averages
only about II per cent. This estimate
however, is for articles at wholesale.
The real complaint of high prices
comes from those who patronize the
retail dealers-the butcher, the baker,
and the candlestick maker. whose
prices are nearly as high as they were
