A contemporary makes the following
statements, we know not how correctly
"Mr. Liucoln's estate was appraised at
$4,000, before tho Congressional appro.
priation of $4,000 WAS made, and very
few men in this country leave their famil.

'It is now represented however, that S22,.

appropriation, after disolarging ce,tai n
obligations, WAS 'all the property that
fell to Mrs. Lincoln, except the house
and lot in springfield where the late Presi-
dent resided before his election. 1t is
difficult to reconcile this statement With
facts, when it is known that she purchased
house iu Chicago for $4,000, filed it
with costly furniture, including several
thousand dollars worth of pictures, aud

take in the matter, or Mrs. Lincoln has

Two THOUSAND DOLLARS DAMAGE
FOR CUTTING OFF LOCK OF HAIR =
The guardian of little girl in Buffalo has
brought suit against woman for cutting
off two large black curls from the girls
head and converting the same to her own
use. Damages have been laid at 81 900.
The girl is sprightly little child, aud has
g head full OF long black curls which are
enved by both young and old Of her Sex.
The ofense was committed on the 14th of
August last, and few days afterward the
woman was tried for assault and battery
for the same offense, in the Police Court,
and discharged, the justice holding that
the evidence was such as to preclude I'm
assault and battery, and the proper re-
dress would DO civil damages. The suit
will prove highly interesting and novel

ASTRONOMICAL MISCONCEPTIONS
At recent meeting in Edinburg the
chairman said be had heard story lately,
connected with an eclipse. There was a
young man living in a village where it
was known thatan eclipse was to be visi.
bic al certain time, and afterwards he
was asked il he had seen the eclipse. He
replied, "No, unfortunately have not -
just about the very time it was to take
place, my master sent me on message
some two miles into the country, and al
though | ran all the way, as hard as I
could, it vas all over before l could get
back" There was another story of some
persons who had visited an observatory on
the Cation Hill in Edinburg, where it
was stated that the moon was to be seen
10 full orb. While one young man was
looking through the telescope, his friends
very waggishly turned the tube aside 50
that it struck across to the opposite side Of
the Forth. The man continued to look
with great bewilderment at seeing houses
and people walking about, and he seemed
quite delighted at thus receiving ocular
demonstration that the moon vas inhabit-
ed. AT last the Telescope rested on q
sign board, and be cried out in immense
surprise, "Oh, dear me! 'Alloa ales sold
