True Anecdote of Mr- LINCOLN

During Mr.. Lincoln's practice of his
profession of The law, long before lac was
thought of for president, lie was attending
the circuit court which met at Blooming,
ton, Illinois. The prosecuting attorney, a
lawyer by the name of LamOn, was q man
of physical strength and took particular
pleasure in athletics sports, and was 50
fond of wrestling That his power and ex-
perience rendered MIN a formidable and
generally successful opponent One
pleasan; day in fall, Lamon was wrestling
near the court house, with some one who
had challenged hin to trial, and in the
scuffle made large rent in the rear of his
unmenti enables. Before he had time to
make any change, he was called into court
10 take up case. The evidence was fin
ished, and Lamon got up to address the
jury. and having a somewhat short coat.
his misfortune was quite apparent One
of the lawyers for a joke, started sub
scription parer. Which was passed from
one member Of tie bar 10 another, as they
sat by long TITLE fronting the bench, to
buy pair of rantsloons for Lamon, ''hc
icing" the paper said, "a poor but worthy
| young man." Several put down their
names with some ludicrous subscription,
and finally the paper was laid by some
one in front of Mr.. Lincoln. on plea
that he was engaged in writing at the
time He quiently glanced over the paper

wrote after his name, 81 can contribute

MAINE ELECTION.

The late election in Maine was a
complete triumph for the Republi-
cans. The Democrats developed no
new strength, although thier candidate
was a very popular man with thler
party. The Republican majority IS
now estimated at 10000, which is
some lighter than at the last Presi-
Dental election. The strength Of
the Republican party was divided
10y o temperance ticket with the
name of Hinchborn, who received
5000 votes. If the party had been
consolidated, as it should have been
Governor Chamberlain ma
iority would have been 1900 OIL
$4,000. The Legislature is not
changed. and Republican Senate oil
in Congress will be chosen to gill the
place of the late Fessenden. 1t is t.
hoped that Republicans in Maine
rs well as in other States viii sec
the folly of trying to run a temper
ance ticket. Temperance is good
enough-very good in its place, and
it is a noble thing in any party who
endeavors to advocate it;,>but there
is a place for tn at, and q place fol
politics, and it will ruin any party
who attempts to take this load upon
its shoulders. The day will come
when ;ntemperance will he done
away with, but it will not be done
by legislation. 1t will be genera
tons hence before it will become
obsolete. The people must Outgrou
it, and we believe it viii be accom-
plished in no other way. The Re
publicans Of Ohio felt the injuriou;
effects of trying TO elect their Gov
ernor aid State Officers on the tenn
perance platform, and We have M
doubt that in her election this fal
: she will be more united and pusl
the campaign on political issues
alone The aim Of Republicans il
the campaign, of course, is to brin:
s. over as much Democratic strength
as possible, and when we come t.
ask Of them to endorse the temper
ance platform, it Is touching then
on vital spot You might as we
ask the Democracy to give mp tn
'nigger" question or reputation a
to persuade them to give up thei
"elixir Of tansy."

THE INDIANAPOLIS DISASTER

Tue most heartrending accident
that ever occurred in our State, per-
haps, transpired at the State fair, at
indianapolis, on last Friday after
noon. The trial Of speed between
the portable steam engines had tax
en- place at 3 O'Clock, and the en-
gines were strained to their utmost
tension, when suddenly q noise. was
heard like the thunder o. artillery,
and the immense throng which
crowded around the engines to see
them try their skill. were leyeled to
the dust. The boiler OF one of the
engines had burst, and scattered its
fragments in every direction. The
scene which followed was almost
indescribable. A volume of steam
and dust and smoke, the air filed
with pieces of timber and fragments
of the bursted boiler, parts Of hu
man beings, mangled and torn, the
groans and shrieks of the wounded
and dying formed a scene that
would appal the stoutest heart In
an instant 100 persons were wound
ed, ana 90 killed outright. The
bodies of some were thrown high in
the air and aliahted mangled and
mutilated corpses. In on: place
was found mans head entirely
blown from his body. In one place
an arm was found, in another pair
of legs, here horse struck dead
In one place were lying four bodies
scathed and roasted and almost I'M
recognizable. Pieces Of the boiler
flew hundreds of yards in every di
rection, many of them killing ol
wounding in their descent. 1t i:
impossible to pen picture OF thu
dread catastrophe. Fifteen thous
and people were on the ground, ant
all swaying to and fro, Lot knowing
which way to go, and awed by tin
presence Of the dead and wounded
around them. The wounded were con
veyed to the city, and all. that med

them. We have not space to Civ

Influence Of Weather on Health.

The Medical Record, of June 1st,
gives the following "nine aphorisms"
Of DR.. Ballard upon the relations of
the atmosphere to health:
/. That an increase of atmospheric
temperature is normally associated
with an increase of general sickness.
2. That decrease of atmospheric
temperature is normally associated
with diminution of general siek-
ness.
8. That for the most part the in
crease or decrease of sickness is pro-
portional in amount to the extent to
which the atmospheric temperature
rises or falls.
4. That it is an error to suppose
Gas is popularity heidi that sudden
changes in temperature are Gas rule }
damaging to public health. A sud-
den change from cold to hot weather
is indeed very damaging but sud-
den change from hot to cold is one
of the most favorable circumstances
that can occur when sickness is re-
garded broadly as respects large
population.
5. That, remarkably enough, these
influences are most marked in the
directions [ have mentioned in the
colder seasons of the year, and more
certain in the winter than in the
summer.
6. That rises and falls of tempera-
ture are more certain and effectual
in their special operation upon pub
lie health when at the same time the
daily range of temperature is lessen
ed, than they are when the daily
| range is at the same time increased
rises OF temperature increasing more
certainly and markedly and falls Of
temperature decreasing it more GER
tainly and markedly.
z. That fail of rain lessons sick
ness generally. sometimes immediate
~, sometimes after short interval
and that, as rule. the reduction o.
general sickness is greater when the
tall Of rain is heavy than when it il
light.
| 8. That drouth, on the other hand
tends TO augment general sickness.
8. That wet weather in the sum
mer season operates more certainly
in improving public health than il
does in the winter season.

Russia is one of the greatest wheat
growing nations on the globe. 1t
furnishes England more grain than
that country obtains from all other
sources, including the United States.
But from a commercial print we learn
that the Russian Government bias
entered the German markets as q
buyer, rather than seller, of cereals.
Last year the same thiLg was wit
messed. Now, if letters from the
Baltic may be relied upon, this
change of front from a seller to q
buyer is not attributable to defective
harvests or short crops. So far as
these were were concerned, the last
couple Of Russian harvests were all
that could be desired. But the cause,
we are told, is to be found in.the
emancipation of the peasantry. The
population having been rendered in
dependent, they no longer work on
the great estates, the surplus pro-
duce of which rendered Russia the
granary of Europe.

A correspondent who recently Wis.
tied the J oliet Penitsntiary, gives the
following account of Cross, the for.
ger, who was sent to prison:
s'Probably the most noted convict
Is j. B. Cross, who is serving term
of six and half years for forgery.
This man has been one of the most
successful forgers in the world. He
has forged himself out of two peni>
tcntiaries, and has for a number of
years been an especia! object of study
for the police detectives of the urin-
cipal cities. He once visited Liver
pool, and notwithstanding the fact
that the people were warned of his
coming, by the press aud by placard,
and that the entire police force We're
trying to catch him. he succeeded in
obtaining many thousands of dollars
by means Of forged checks, drafts,
&C., and in escaping to this country.
Cross is about 40 years Of age, was
educated for the ministry, and is a
thorough scholar, can speak several
languages, has practiced law, has
travelled pretty much all over the
civilized world, can initiate almost
any handwriting in the most perfect
manner, and actually takes pride in
the great number of successful for
geries of which he is guilty. He has
a large class of conviets, with whom
he spends an hour or so every even
ing, teaching them in the various
branches Of common education,
One of his rules is to reply to all
letters written him, in the same
handwriting in which they were
written. The perfect manner in
which he initiates the handwriting Of
others, is wonderful.

ADVICE TO NERVOUS PEopLE.-Ir-
ritable nerves are best soothed, not
by indulgence, but by turning the
mind resolutely in another direction.
Many pass through life without one
close grasp of their position or duties
or even without studying the best
means of attaining their own desired
ends. Such are more likely than any
others to become victims Of tyranni>
cal nerves, and are often grossly un>
reasonable, from the habit of not
using their judgement. Above all,
real, earnest labor will put to fight
q vast train of nervous troubles
Few who are vigorously pursuing a
life work of Importance are greatly
afflicted with nervousness, these
few may often trace it to the lack of
wholesome living and fresh air. A
due regard to the laws of health, an
earnest purpose in life and regular
employment, are the best preventives
for the evils ofover-sensitive nerves.
Training and selfrespeet will induce
US to suppress fears, and to conquer
weaknesses. Acts of resolution will
teach courage, and a systematic in
fusion of vigor and self-discipline will
render the whole nature superior to
the indulgence of q tyrannieal and
an snfeebling nervous system.-PhI-
adelphia Ledger.

PRosE.-We think that most peo-
pie have happier and better time of
it than ourselves. The fiction is a
pleasing one to some extent. and 40
we nurse it along through life. 1t is
true that the difference in position
and gifts of people are often marked,
but it does not follow that one has
more satisfaction than another. The
stomach Of poverty may ache for
bread, but tie head of wealth aches
great deal worse, and it isn't half
as easily cured. There can be no more
warmth in cashmere than in cheap
wool. Silk and broadcloth may look
to some eyes, nicer, but for use are
no better than calico and corduroy.
