Lincoln and Grant.


Mr.. Lincoln WAS not man who held it good
public economy TO pull down On the mere chance
Of rebuilding better Mr. Lincoln's faith in God
WAS qualified by very well-foundei distrust Of
the wisdom Of man Perhaps il was his want Of
self confidence that more than anything else won
him the unlimited confidence Of the people, for
they felt that there would be no need Of retreat
from any position he had deliberately taken.
The cautious. but steady, advance Of his policy
during the war was ike that Of a Roman army.

confidence could follow be took America with

nor - little conscious Of it for he was the in
caruate common sense fthe people. With all that
tenderness Of nature whose sweet sadness touch
ed whoever SAW him with something Of its own
pathls, there was no trace Of sentimentalism in
hi speech or action. He seems TO have had but
one rule Of conduct, always that of practical and
successful politics, To let himself be guided by
events, when they were sure to bring MIN out
where he wished to 20, though by what seemed

ell il may be truly said, in spite Of both parties,

reaction. knowing by the most thorough e1pe-
rieuce the men he has conquered and the men he

soldier, he has been schoOled to look forward to

domitable persistency in plans well considered
and justified by good fortune. He has chosen

Justice 10 their merit with almost unexampled
magnanimity. He possesses beyond most men
that virtue Of moderation which So many Amer

he has an almost heroic gift of silence which pre-
vents him from allowing himself TO be dragged

A Circus DIRECTOR EATEN Up.-
A Brussels correspondent writes: "Eas-
ter week has closed with fearful occur
renee at Bailleul. A troupe of peri, rm-
ing lions had been visiting the place.
On the night of the last performance the
lion-tamer was suddenly taken i'll, and in
order not to disappoint the public, the
director of the circus, M. Brennet., not
withstanding the oposition of his friends,
was rash enough to undertake the "domp-
teurs" part. Mr.. Brennett entered the
cage, and succeeded for time in making
the lions 60 through their performances !;
but when it came to the close, which
consists in giving the animals raw meat,
the director lost courage, and instead of
keeping firm eye on the animals, as
tanners are won't to do, he tremblcd, and
made for the door of the cage This
sealed his doom. A large lioness was
the first to pounce upon him, and IN a
few minutes the rash unfortunate man
was torn to pieces, spite Of the efforts Of
o keeper, who eadeavored with pole to
seperate the animals. The excitement
anong the audience can be better imag-
incd than described.

Each of the portly judges, noiselessly

and, hippopotamus fashion, advanced to
the neutral ground occupying the central

Judge Clark selected bootjack, and
Judge Thomas a heavy cowhide boot,

They were now within easy reach, and
each imagining the cat had but moment

his boot, the other with his bootjack.
The boot took Clark square in the mouth

When it blows in Illinois it blows

Shipmans eating pie, heard the storm
coming and ran to the door. The gale
first blew the honse down and then seized
the man, carried him through the air
hundred yards or SO, and landed him in

from his own house came floating by.
This he seized and placed over his

Yes, little whitewash will do great
amount of good but full supply
enough to cover the inside of barns, sta
bles, cellars, ect., with two good coatings
is much better The lime which enters
into this composition is purifying agent
| and the wash serves as disinfcctant
| The benefits conferred in this regard
compensate for all the labor and expense
involved in whitewashing but the clean
tidy appearance which it gives to farm
premises is most pleasing and salutary.
In no way can farmer make SO imposing
and even elegant show, for trifing ex-
Ipe1diture, as by free use of whitewash.
Even old buildings glow and glisten
under the whitewash brush, and assume
new and fresh appearance. Buildings,
in the eye of the owner, as well as those
of his neighbors, have higher money
value after the process is completed.
