LiNCoLN.-lt is nearly ten years since
the oody OF Mr.. Lincoln was laid in the
earth at Springfield, Illinois. The fun
eral service Of April 10, 1865, was the
most impressive ever held in the coun-
try. BY common consent. the neonIa
throughout the land assembled In Their
churches, and prayers, tears. enIooies
and dirges attested the affectionate 9rief
Of the nation. Yesterday a nonn6ant
worthy OF the man, so far as any scul1-
ture can be worthy Of Lincoln, was SOL
emnly dedicated in the presence of
thousands of people who assembled at
the place of his burial. The oration, the
ceremonial, and the popular demonstra-
ton on this occasion seem to have been
fitting and appropriate. The President
OF the United States, distinguished civ
lians, tOwnsmen of the dead President,
ana men who carried with them into
the war the inspiration of his unseIfish
patriotism, were there to give dignity
auu honor to the ceremony of dedicating

CHILD STRANGLED ny A GAIA
strange occurrence took place q few
mornings since, says a Middleton, u.
" paper, sin the family of Mr.. SiIas
Doloway, who occupies house on Null
berry street, in this village. Mrs. Dolo-
way is accustomed to leave her babe, a
little girl four months old, on the bed up
stairs, while she does her mornings
work in the basement, from whence she
could easily hear the least noise. On the
morning in question she heard the little
one Growing as usual, but finally noticed
that the sounds ceased, and shortly after
heard strange gurgling noise. Sup
posing that the child had got its head
under the bedclothes and was suffocat-
ing, she ran up stairs TO see about it,
and found the housecat with its nose in
the childPs mouth. The child was
strangled black, and was fighting feebly
with its hands. The mother instantly
caught the child and shook it several
times, when it caught its breath aud
came out all right. In a few minutes
more it would probably have been
to death. Mrs. Doloway had
to pull the cat off of the child, so eager
was it to remain. 1t had a paw on
either side Of the child's head, and had
its nose pressed deeply into the child's
mouth. The cat was instantly killed."

4 Novel Way to Prevent Drunkenness

In Sweden a peculiar plan has been
adopted by the friends of temperance
for preventing the evils resulting from
an excessive use OF intoxicating liquors.
The authorities Of GotteLburg in 1865,
began movement which afterward cx-
tended throughout the kingdom, and is
said to have been attended with the
most beneficial results. 1t was based
on two ideas, first, no single individual
out to be permitted to derive any gain
from the sale of spirits and second,
that spirits ought not to be drank with
out the accompanying consumption OF
solid food The method adopted to
carry out these views is this An in
corporated company in each town, con
sisting of the most respected members
of the community, takes the entire re-
tail liuuor traffic under its supervision,
selling at costsafter deducting a margin
for leakage and breakage, Thepersons
put in charge of the places where
liquor is sold are paid salaries by the
company. The expenses paid includ'
ing tine current rate of interest for the
capital invested, all profits are paid into
the town treasury. Of course where
louor is sold at cost no profits can
accrue from that trade but each public
house is allowed to sell at profit food,
tobacco and unintoxicatiug drinks, and
what is m important part Of the plan,
every place where liquor is sold Is
bound to supply wholesome cooked
food at all times during business hours.
The result of this system has been a
great decrease in drunkenness. 1t may
seem singular that making drinks cheap
should lead temperance, but the secret
of the business is very simple. In the
first place habitu0l drinkers of small
means being able to satisfy their crav-
ings for liquor very cheaply, are, there,
fore, enabled to buy nourlshing food
without depriving themselves of alco-
holic stimulants, which to them is the
first necessity, the food being always
ready at hand And, in the second
place, as the traffic Is not conducted for
gain there is no temptation to sell I'M
pure, poisonus liquors which excite a
desire for excessive indulgence, and at
the same time ruin the digestive organs
and destroy the appetite for natural
| food.

Domestic Felicity of George the Third

Here is a pithy extract from a recent
speech of Bradlaugh in an English
town: Mr.. Disraeli, at Manchester,
spoke of the royalty of this country.
He said that George the Thirds family
were On example Of domestic felicity.
He said they illustrated the home Of
the nation. l ask you to only imagine
George the Thirds family an example
OF domestic felicity. George the
Thirds grandfather locked up his wife
for thirty years, and in her absence
lived with two other women. Is that
an example of domestic felicity {?
George the Thirds grandfather never
spoke to George the Third. George
the Third'sgraudfatheribu wife's
will, George the Thirds father burned
his fathers will, and still Mr., Disaeli
sets them up as an example Of domestic
felicity George the Thirds mother
said that her son was the most licen-
tious, dishonest, and wicked man liy-
ing, and she wished that he might die
and leave the world. That's an exam
pie of Mr.. Disraeli's domestic felicity.
When George the Third was mad his
two sons came back to their clubs and
spoke it widely there in order to make
believe that the madness was incurable.
George the Thirds son was drunk the
day he was married. He deserted his
wife the day his first child was born ;
and Mr.. Disraeli says this is an exam
ple of domestic felicity When Ma.
poleon died, man-George the Third s
eldest son-came TO him and said,
Sire. your greatest enemy is dead
and George the Third, not thinking of
Napoleon, but of his wife, said, Is
she, by c.? Laughter). And Mr..
Disraeli says they are an example OF
domestic felicity Not only did he
say that they we're an example of do
nestle felicity, but that they repre-
sented the morality OF the nation.
George the Thirds son wrote that the
Brunswicks were family without prin-
pie, and were not to be trusted. George
the Thirds three sons borrowed money
and placed anonymous signatures
thereon, and afterward denied the sig
natures and shipped off to foreign
country those persons who were con-
cerned in the affair, in order that they
might not criminate them. George
the Fourth stole a quantity of corona
rion diamonds, and then accused an
other man of the crime. And Mr..
Disraeli says they are an example OF
morality

lovable, she works as steadily as if
some mighty reward were near at hand.
suppose it is hope on, hope ever, with

she would have flown first to the streets

COTTON MANUFACTURE.
The Othc Side of the Picture words of
Encouragement for the south.

The Othc Side of the Picture ~ ords Of
Encouragement for the south.
To induce parties in Georgia to erect
cotton mills, a southern writer the other
day compiled table OF dividends de-
clared by some Of the eastern cotton
and wooden mills in 1873. This table
showed that 26 out Of AZ companies di.
ylded from 10 TO 20 per cent. each. In
order lhat tlIr sDutA may NOT ~ 700 ca
vious on account Of these enormous
profits the Boston Journal undertakes
to picture what it calls the other side
of the history of manufacturing in that
section. the losses and sacrifices oc.
curing during the history Of these
mills before those profits we're found.
Some Of those mentioned as making
such dividends in 1873, we are reminded
lost their whole capital at other times,
and had to organize anew. The stock
OF others, aid in OF 81 900 a share,
sold at $50 in !. 81. The Chicopee had
its capital cut down in 1860 from $780,
300 to $4,000 by impairments; and
so on through the list. Still, these uu-
pleasant "reminiscences need not dis
courage men from engaging in cotton
manufacture, for there are ups and
downs, lights and shades in all bust
ness, and the success Of the mills at
Augusta, GA, and other places in the
cotton country, shows clearly that with
economical management it is very prof
table to operate such manufactures in
The south, where all expenses Of trans
pCrtatiOn Of the raw material is saved.
The results of the Augusta cotton
factory enterprise are such as to en-
courage the southern people to further
etfolts in manufacturing. The depend
ence Of the south on the north for man
ufactured products was shown striking.
ly during the war, when, with cotton in
abundance, the wealthiest citizens were
obliged to purchase at enormous gold
prices clothing brought over in block
ade runners, while the poorer classes
were the roughest of homespun. Since
the war several praiseworthy efforts have
been made by southern capitalists TO
render the section independent. The
most successful of those enterprises is
the Angus cotton factory, started soon
after the war. Only sixty thousand
dollars were ever paid in, and the com
pany has paid ont in diyid' mis- 81 ,O6S,-
600, has property worth 81, 100000, at
the lowest calculation, and a surplus OF
$265, so During the fiscal year irst
ended the company has expended $780,
900 for new machinery and for the en-
largement and Improvement OF the
buildings. Yet Georgia only consumes
25, COO bales of cotton in her mills,
about one-twentieth part Of her own
crop, while most of the other southern
states are without cotton mills, and
have to send their whole crop elsewhere
TO be manufactured Nem Ilrh SIM.
