WALKING IN THE OLD WoRLD,-The
increasing passion for walking-matches
has extended TO the Old World, and
brought number of Recass-runners
of the nomadic tribes of Central Africa
Ito Paris. They far surpass anything
done by our race. When they carry
Government dispatches, they run for
days without sleep. In ordertc keeptheiI.
chests free, they seize with both hands
the ends of stick which they place hor-
izontllly behind their neck. Their
stock of provisions consists of few
dozen dates, and their whole costume of
a pair of trowsers; perhaps they also
carry pair of sandals, which they put
on when the sand of the desert becomes
too hot to bear. On the way they lose
as little time as possible. When they
run out of breath they stop, count up to
sixty inspirations, aud continue the
journey; they sleep only two or three
hours out of the twenty-four, and in or
der not to oversleep themselves, they
tie rope of date bark to one foot and
set IL on fire. They know exactly how
long it will burn, and when it reaches
the foot the pain makes them jump up,
and of they go once more on their err

THE DOOR STEP.

TIT IS hard to imagine a true poet in the
scramble of the bulls and bears in Wall street;
we are of the opinion that the
most graceful and altogether charming verses
to which the name of the New York broker
Mr.. Il. G. Steadman, is attached. Witness the
from the last Atlantic Monthly:l
The conference meeting through at last,
We boys around the yestry waited
To see the girls come tripping past.
Like snow birds waiting To be mated.

Who longed TO see me get the mitten.

And started toward the Maple farm
Along kind of lovers byway.

Yet that rude path by which we sped
Seemed all transformed and in glory.

GEN. GRANTS FoRTuNE.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the st. Louis
Democrat says:
Gen. Grant is rich already, and by
cautious investment, he is destined to
be very rich one day, ranking with the
most opulent. He owns thirty-eight
acres of land within the corporation
limits of Washington worth $1,000 an
acre. His house here is held at $4,000.
A farm near st. Louis and houses at Ga
lena and in Philadelphia should add
100000 to the former items. Three
hundred thousand dollars will prOba-
bly, not be in excess of the President
elects possessions. Meanwhile his
commercial training and fondness for ma
terial speculations, added to his good
luck and caution, are exemplifying
themselves in judicious operations i'm
many an honorable field. 1t is altogeth-
er probable that we shall have in Grant
President who, exercising ali due lib
crafty in the Chief Magistracy, will be
the first President since Washington to
be discreet and practical in the manage
ment of his private fortune. His com
parative youth will permit him, should
he live TO the average age of Presidents,
thirty years duration after the expira-
ton of his term of Office.

CURE FOR THE SMALL PoX.-A cor
respondent of the Stockton, California,
Herald gives the following valuable re-
cipe, which is pronounced sure pana-
eea for that most malignant of diseases,
small pox, as well as the scarlet fever,
for both of which it is acertain remedy:
81 herewith append a recipe which
has been used, TO my knowledge, in hum
dreds of cases. 1t will prevent or cure
the small pox, though the pittings are
filling. When Jenner discovered cow
pox in England, the world of Silence hurl-
ed an avalance of fame upon his head
but when the most scientific school of
medicine in the worid-that of Paris
publishes this recipe as a panacea for
small pox it passed unheaded; it is as
unfailing as fate and conquers in every
instance. 1t is harmless when taken by
a we'll person. It will also cure scarlet
fever. Here is the recipe as l have US
ed it and cured my children of scarlet fe-
yer; here it is as L have used it to cure
the small pox, when learned physicians
said the patient must die. Sulphate of
zinc, one grain; half teaspoonful of
sugar, mix with tablespoonful of wa
ter. When thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces of water. Take spoonful ev
cry hour. Either disease will disappear
in twelve hours. For child, smaller
doses according to age. If counties
would compel physicians to use this,
there would be no use of pest houses. If
you value advice and experience, use
this for that terrible disease.

A HORSE IN BATTLE.-Kinglake, in
his "History of the Crimean Invasion"
gives the following graphic description
of horse in battle:
'sThe extent to which charger can
apprehend the periis of battlefield,
may be easily moderated by one who
confines his observations to horses still
carrying their riders for so long as,a
troop of horses in action feel the weight
of q hand and master, his deep trust in
man keeps him seemingly free from
terror, and he goes through the fight,
unless wounded, as though it were q
field day at home; but the moment
that death or q disabling wound de-
prives him of his rider, he seems all at
once TO learn what battle is-to per-
ceive its real dangers with the clearness
of a human being. and to be agonized
with horror of the fate he may incur
for want of hand to guide him. Care
less of the mere thunders of guns, he
shows plainly enough that he more
than knows the dread accent that is
used by missiles of war while cutting
their way through the air, for as often
as these sounds disclose to him the near
passage of bullet or round shot, he
shrinks and cringes. His eyeballs pro-
trude. Wild with fright, he still does
not commonly gallop home into camp.
His instinct seems rather to tell him
that what safety, If any, there is for
him, must be found in the ranks; and
he rushes at the first squadron he can
find, urging piteously yet with violence,
that he too by right ia troop horse
that he, too, is willing to charge, but
not to be left behind-that he must and
will "fail in.n

THE MEMoRY or ARRAHAM LINcoLN

THE MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
No President since the days of WASH
ington has more worldwide reputa-
ton, or is held in more grateful remem-
berance by the people everywhere, than
Abraham Lincoln. We have been told,
by those who visited their friends in
Europe, shortly after the close of the
war, that in every household, in every
place, by every freside, there hung the
portrait more OF less rude of Abraham
Lincoln. His portrait is found in Asia
as well as in Europe, and in parts of
Asia where Americans are rarely seen.
Mr.. Thomas w. Knox, in his journey
through Siberia two years ago, frequent
" saw his portrait hanging on the walls
of the wayside stations and in the hands
of wealthy citizens. at Ekaterineburg,
in the Ural mountains, he was shown a
bust of Mr.. Lincoln that was made to
the order of wealthy Russian. The
bust was five or six inches high, and cut
in topaz from a model procured from
America for the purpose. But the
strangest of all his picture was found
on the body of Coshackama, Chief of
Apache Indians, who was killed in bat
tie with our troops last month.

ABOUT NEwsPAPERs.-There are g.
600 newspapers published in the United
States. New York has by far the larg-
est number and Utah the least. Only
100 in the country have circulation of
10000. There is no daily paper west of
New York that has bona fide circula-
ton of $4,000 copies. 1t is estimated
that one publisher in four tells the truth
about his circulation. In advertising,
mercantile firms generally prefer daiIies
and patent medicine men weeklies. Chi
cago, Beileville and ST. Louis are now
furnishing country publishers with pa
per upon which the outside of their
edition is already printed. Republican,
Democratic, or conservative in senti-
ment-with name of paper, date, vol
ume, publishers card, terms, etc., and of
any desired size. The New Hampshire
Gazette is the oldest paper in the Unit
ed States, having been established in
1855, and the Chronicle and Sentinel,
published at Augusta, Georgia, was es-
tablished in 1894. The Jacksonville
(Alabama) Republican has been edited
and published forty-six years by James
Freeman Grant, practical printer, and
cousin of the President elect. The
Abingdon VirgimtGaa has been conduct
ed by its present editor twenty-six years.
The Lycoming Gzzette, published at
Williamsport, Penn, was established in
1901 !; the Christian Observer, Rich
mond, Va, in 1913, which makes it the
oldest religious paper in America, and
the Lynchburg Vfrginian was estab-
lished in 1909.

DOES 1T PAY TO ADyERTIsE--Does
advertising pay? The universal answer
is that il does; and there's hardly per-
son but can give one or more instances
within his knowledge of men who have
made fortunes by advertising. Asknot
merely the patent medicine men, but go
to men in ordinary mercantile pursuits
People are quite apt to go where their
attention is called and if they find things
as Represented they win bestow their
patronage instead of spending their time
looking elsewhere. There is no instance
on record of well sustained system of
judicious advertising falling of success.
We say it is rare case where any cuisines
might not have been greatly augmented
by judicious use of printers ink. The
fact is that sensible, skillful advertising
pays ten fold better than investments
that call for like amount of expendit-
ure. There is nothing that pays like adj
yertising. 1t is, in reality, the only roy
al road to wealth. And yet there Is no
element to success so little used.

GRANT AND BANKS.

A clerk who was in the War Depart
ment shortly before the fall of Vicks-
burg, sends the following communica>
ton to the New York Herald:
Seeing the contradictory statements
published in the papers regarding the
fact, or otherwise, of an order having
been issued from the War Department,
to General Banks, shortly before the
fall of Vicksburg, directing him to re-
heve General Grant, 1 beg to state the
exact facts in the case, and thus settle
the much controverted matter.
while Gen. Grant was operating in
front of Vicksburg, was employed as
Clerk in Secretary Stanton's Office at
the War Department, in Washington,
Secretary Stanton wrote two orders,
directing me TO make two copies of
them, one for telegraphing and one for
filing, the first of these orders was ad.
dressed to Gen. Banks, directing him
to proceed at once to Vicksburg and re-
Iieve Gen. Grant the second order was
addressed to Gen. Grant, directing him
to turn over his command 20 Gen.
Banks, on the arrival OF the latter. who
had been ordered TO relieve him. I do
not pretend to give the wording of
these orders. 1 have given, however,
their exact substance, and they should
be on file NOW in the War Department.
unless they have since been removed.
will state further, the copies of these
orders to be transmitted by telegraph,
I-sent by messenger to the War De-
partment Telegraph Office, by order of
Secretary Stanton, these should also be
on file in the latter Office
