A New LINCOLN SToRY.-Colonel
Lewis d. Campbell furnishes new
story about President Lincoln. He
called upon the President during the
war, and was kindly received with the
question, ''What can do for you Lew"
Informing him Of my wish to 60 with
Mclean to Fort Lafayette. l said de-
sired him to give me permit to do so.
''Is that all ?-most certainly will :"
and picking up blank card, he wrote
on it in pencil:
"Allow Colonel Lew d. Campbell to enter
Fort Lafayette. A. LINCOLN"
l read it, and thanking him, said,
"All right, Mr.. President, as far as it
goes but would much prefer to have
you add one thing more." Taking the
card again and reading it aloud, he In
quired, "What more do you think nee
essary?' "Please add the words also
to come out +" Catching the idea, he
stretched out his long legs, and, lean
ing back in his chair, he again laughed
loud enough to be heard all over the
mansion. After adding the words,
which he said were very important in
those days, he inquired, slew, why did
YOU not remain in the army?-you
ought to be there" l replied, My
health failed, and l could not have liv-
ed until now in the service. But why
do you think l should have remained 2
Because" said he, ''you seem to have
the natural elements for successful mil
itary service. Whilst you are dispos
ed to push forward, you have at the
same time the prudence to guard The
rear and proride for q safe retreat, j
necessary"

amounts to 81 900, 600: in Washington
county, 81 800 900; in Hancock, $780,

There is one factory in the State for
the manufacture of kerosene and lubri-
eating oil, l,naptha. gasolen and parafiine.
II is situated in Cape Elizabeth, and the
value OF the product this year is returned
at S254 800. The returns from factories
manufacturing oil from porgies or men,
haden the most of which are situated in
Lincoln county-shows a total capital
of 1928 800; value OF production, 1852,
$50; hands employed, 446. Had full re-
turns been sent, it is likely that the to-
tai capital would have exceeded si0O, 600,
and the value of production 100000.

Four factories with an invested capital
OF $3.50 900, shows product valued at
1864 900. There are at least two more
factories I'm the State, and the value of
their product added 10 the sum given
will undoubtedly make the aggregate
value of the product in the State 81 ,5oo,-

RAILROADS.
In 1850 the total mileage was 245.59.
In 1873 the total mileage we find to be

of dollars.

The Devil Immediately produced
from the folds of his vile garment, a
curious instrument Of q very singular
construction with I written warrant
attached. ] knew the exact latitude
and longitude Of the place where we
sat, determined by the Coast Survey.
Upon verifying the instrument, we
found il to be several inches nearer
right than the survey.
Nov" says he, ''young man, you
are just as good as my meat; so pack
up"
"Stop," says l, "there's one more
chance !" and 1 didn't lose my courage.
''Pooh!" says the Devil, "what's the
use? but be quick !" and his tail rustled
faster than ever.
"Possess yourself in patience" says
l. Time enough 70 boast when you
have fulfilled your bond"
His Satanic Majesty's mouth fairly
wateTed as he surveyed me, and he
could not help exclaiming, you'll
make tender meat"
"Well then,' says /, "Here goes my
last trick, and l guess I'll play my
ace."
"Now,' says 1, ''old fellow do this,
and am of with you at once"
Fetch on! says the Devil.
"Well then," said l, ''produce i'm
mediately, a greater liar than the Rev.
L. j. Adams or, if you find it incon-
venient to perform it Immediately, not
wishing TO be out-done in liberality by
even the Devil himself, will give you
ten years to do it in.''
l almost pitied the poor Devil, such
a surge Of mingled disappointment
and chagrin, .overspread his cast-iron
countenance. He stood dumb for
some time. When he found utterance,
and thought he would have strangled
before he did, he gasped OUT

or, il | am Devil. You have trav-
ersed me-" and tearing into fragments
the boud he held in his hand, he de-
parted, uttering dismal howl, much
like distressed fog-horn, while little
jets Of blue flame spouted out all over
him.
When the Captain had finished relat-
ing his dream, which he offered to take
Custom House oath to, there com
menced general hubbub, Elder
Adams for once was non-plussed; but
his first lieutenant, Bishop W.. recon-
mended to put out the captain. But as
no one seconded the motion, and as
the Bishop himself held back, tue de-
sign was not put into execution.
The Captain stood up on a bench
and said, II will wait here long enough
for the Bishop TO try it on. if he de-.
sires and then l shall go. 1 nau NO In-

Peace"
He then deliberately retired, one af-
ter another following his example.
There was an ominous silence among
the Saints, for q majority Of the con-
gregation left when the Captain retir-
ed.
From that time Elder Adams vlsibly
declined in popularity, and set himself
diligently to make preparation for his
higera to the Promised Land The
utter failure of that miserably foolish
enterprise-the sufierings and priva-
tions OF the dupes Of that stupendous
frauds tale but too well known.
1t was farce, in its inception-a base
cheat, and resulted in a Tragedy of
Errors.

Chang and Eng.

The Siamese twins, who have just
died, will always rank among the most
interesting of scientific phenomena,
not only on account of the almost un-
precedented peculiarity of their con-
dition. but because they have been SO
extensively known and gazed upon in
all parts of the world. We find in the
Brooklyn Eagle very full account of
their life and strange experience, and
Gull from it some interesting facts
which we have not before presented.
Their parents were fishers on the
coast of Siam, and Of the lowest order
of that people. The band Of flesh
which united them was flexible, and
possessed sufficient faculty of exten.
sion to allow the twins to face each
other, and to stand back to back.
Their breathing when asleep was sim
ultaneous, but when awake was sub
ject to the individual will. Each
seemed to be master Of his own physi-
cal feelings and sensations without re-
gard TO the other, but they shared in
the pain caused by pinching or other
wise injuring the centre of the feshy
ligament. Barnum obtained them in
1880, and from that time they became
great celebrities. For years they were
exhibited at the old Museum on the
corner of Broadway and Ann streets,
New York, the site now occupied by
the Herald building. At that time
they spoke English very imperfectly.
They we're below the average size, but
Chang was the larger, more intelligent
and more robust. Chang was good
natured and cheerful, and not without
q certain perception Of humor. Eng
was peevish, morose and given to find
ing fault. 1t is said that the two did
not always agree, and, indeed, there

in the room they occupied in the old
Museum building in Ann street, Bar.

Siamese brethren were engaged in u

however, Chang submitted 10 the April
moods of his brother without dissent.
They learned to play checkers to-
gether, aud passed much of their leis-
ure time in that way. Their salary
during their contract with Barnum
was 500 q week, and this sum they

mum until 1855, and it was then be-
lieved that they had managed to accu.
mulate $40, ,OO0 apiece. At this time
they retired from public life. During
their travels they had visited Nortf
Carolina, and, the climate and the 10
cality pleasing them, they located
there, and with their joint property o.
$50, 900 purchased two plantations a
Mount Airy, near Salisbury. At thi
time they were bachelors OF forty
four.

Woods in Winter.

BY HENRY wADswoRTH LoNGfELLow.
When winter winds are piercing chill.
And through the hawthorn blows the gale.
With solemn feet tread the Hill
That oyerbrows the lonely vale.
O'e- the bare upland and away
Through the long reach of desert woods,
The embracing sunbeams chastely play,
And gladden. these deep sOlitudes.
Where, twisted round the barren oak,
The summer vine in beauty clung.
And summer winds the stiffness broke,
The crystal icicle is hung.
Where. from their frozen urns. mute springs
Pour out the rivers gradual tide,
Shrilly the skaters iron rings.
And voices I'LL the woodland side.
Alss how changed from the fair scene
When bird- sang out their mellow lsy,
And winds were soft and woods were green,
And the song ceased not with the day.
But still, wild music is abroad.
Pale, desert woods within YOUR crowd;
And gathering winds, in hoarse accord,
Amid the vocal reeds pipe loud.
Chill,airs and wintry winds my ear
Has grown familiar with your song;
hear IT in the opening year
listen. and II cheers me long.

A Question.

What if your life had been a barren thing
Barren Of all that made it good and wise,
But rich in all that fetters the free soul,
Aud calm before the worlds close scrutinies!
Think if one day upon that desert waste
A great light fell, and, dszzled and struck
blind.
You wrapped il like a mantle round your heart,
Nor asked of fate what follow'd close behind!
Suppose sometimes il glowed clear. warm and
bright.
And lifted you above all common need;
Sometimes 1t faded pale. and wan. and weak.
And of your toilsome track took little heed;
Whereat YOU gathered, trembling and afraid,
The treasures ofyour lfe-a.l that W as good
The sacred trusts kept clean from alien hands
by Years Of melancholy solitude,
And cast them down-a costly gift-to stay
But for little time the lessening light,
Dreading much the purposeless dark way,
The solemn, dread eternity of night.
Think if the bribe were powerless, and you lay
Voiceless, dethroned - no refuge - none to
save;
Would YOU not doubt the love and help OF
Heaven.
And ask Of Earth one boOn-naught else-a
grave:
MARY l.. RITTER.
