relates the following Unpublished story
about President Lincoln and citizen OF
Aurora: SHORTLY after Mr.. Lincoln's cleo

with {" Honest Abe" about matters con
nected with the new Administration and
distribution of Offices E. d. Griffin, the
irrepressible agent Of the Equitable Lite
Insurance Company, from Aurora, hap
pcned in Springfield the same evening,
and, unaccompanied, called upon the
President at his house. Mr.. Lincoln sat
by table near the center of the room,
around outside of which sat the delega-
ton, who had Just arrived, when Griffin
entered, and walked straight forward to
the President Introducing himself he
said: e I am life long Democrat, but
concluded this time to vote for you, and
came to see what kind of a man | voted
for" Mr.. Lincoln cordially took him by
the hand, and after exchanging few
words during which all in the room
kept silent" Grit" expressed satisfac

suffrage, and gracefully bowling, with

he returned, and, again bowling, at the

seriousness, said: "By the by, Mr.. Lin

The effect of this remark upon those as

KID GLovEs.-The January OF Lsppa'.
cats Magazine contains an article on
"The Industrial Effects of the War" In
which we find the following interesting
facts in regard to the manufacture of kid
gloves This industry, although nomi-
nally located in Paris, is in reality dis
tributed over the whole of Northern
France, and has given occupation to
great numbers of persons in widely dis
tant localities. The skins which form
the material for the gloves are imported
from Italy, Switzerland and Germany
They are tanned and dressed at Besancon,
Beauyais, Luneville and numerous other
places. They are then sent to Paris
where the gloves are cut from them, IN
every variety of pattern, and are dis,
tributed through the provinces to be
sewed by women who work at their own
homes. 1t is therefore, very evident that
with no means of communication between
Paris and the provinces, the supply must
cease; no more gloves can be manu-
featured till the gates of the capital are
thrown open. The demand for export
continues the same, and therefore, the
price must lie increased, as we know to
our sorrow.

A HORSE PUZZLE.-The sortle from
Paris, on the last days of November, had
one happy result for the beseiged resi-
dents The army found in the positions
taken from the Germans more than a
thousand horses. Their own losses of
horses amounted to three or four hundred
more, and all these carcases were gather
ed up, and distributed among the butch
ers in the city, adding five days supply
of fresh meat to the Capital The horse
question, by the way, has come to be a
serious problem with the Parisians. For
age is so scarce that a great many valua-
BILE animals are fed upon bread. This
use of human food has been pronounced
scandelous, but there has been so much
arithmetic brought to bear upon the ques-
ton that there is a great deal of perpieX-
ity in the city as to the true policy to be
pursued. If, it is argued on the one hand
you Stay your horses at once, you destroy
YOUR chances for fresh meat for the future.
A horse, on the other hand, eats about as
much bread in day as would support
ten citizens, and, therefore, it is asked
whether it is worth while to keep him a
month in order to enjoy few kilogran-
mes of fresh meat at the end of that per-
iod It is a puzzling conundrum. p

Since the great robbery tie Central Pa

wire rope in place of the usual style of
rope to the signal bell of the locomotive,
which passes along through the train
overhead. This rope cannot be readily

any attempt to twist it off or break it
would only ring the signal bell for the

DAIRYING IN THE UNITED STAEs.-The
following statistics are from the Live
Stock Journal:
But a few persons realize the magni-
tude of the dairying interests of the
country at the present time. The present
produce of cheese is supposed to be 3OO,-
100000 pounds, which at fifteen cents
pound, amounts to $15000,000 and of
butter 575,000,000 pounds, which, at
twenty-five cents a pound amounts to
S152, 100000; with 100000, 900 gallons
of milk sold IN the cities and towns, and
so 600, 900 consumed inthe families where
produced, worth $25,000,000; making
together dairy product of $215,0OO,OOO,
besides the pork made from the refuse OF
butter and cheese dairies. The number
of COWS is probabls not less than 5000
900; the number in 1860 was 6,72S,o
If we allow 100000 cows for making
the butter, it will give 115 POUNDS to
the COW, and 100000 cows employed in
producing cheese, which will be 2OO
pounds to COW 100000 COWS for the
production of milk consumed in cities
and families of producers, leaving l,0OO,-
900 COWS in the Western and Southern
States devoted to raising stock. From
these facts it will appear that the average
product of butter and cheese is very far
below what it might be with the intelli-
gence and attention Of breeding, feeding
and general management which the mag,
nltude of the subject demands. The
first Collins cheese factory of Erie
county, New York, for 1869, reports the
average from 1876 COWS at APO pounds OF
cheese to COW, while 200 pounds ana
over is common yield to COW in but
ter, from good, well-fed cows
