LIncoIns's First Nomination.

The story of Lincoln's first
nomination for president is pleas
antly and impressively told by 1.
II. Bromley, in "Lotos Leaves" a
new volume just issued in Boston.
The following is the rendering of
the climax of that memorable
scene:
The full-voiced secretary turned
his face upward to the skylight in
the roof above him and called out
the vote to men, who without stop
ping to record it, ran to the sides
of the wigwam, and shouted the
news to the surging multitudes
without. Within the building
grave and serious men embraced
and kissed each other, old men
danced and young ones cheered
and shouted and flung aloft their
hats, the rafters rang with multi
tudious roar; and as the wave of
sound rolled through the doors
and windows, the streets took up
and echoed it and rolled it back,
cheer answering cheer, in one
great jubilee of joy. With the
first burst of it a gunner standing
by his loaded piece with lighted
match, reached forth his hand; q
fiash-a puff of clouds-and into
the midst of that wild tumult OF
applause there leaped from the
brazen belly of the gun q roar thai
crowded and drowned all. The
curtain fell on the first act at of 6
new historic period. The roar o.
artillery that was to be the music
of the drama in its stately progress
with n sublime fitness which there
was no prophet to recognize, hAC
greeted the occasion and saluteC
it's hero. That moment q great
grand man, whom the world theI
scarcely knew, stepped out witt
modest self-distrust upon q caree
J as the world had never seen, lai(
} his hand with solemn sense o
responsibility upon the great tasl
before him, and never ceased t.
. bear its burdens grandly, while h
wore its honors meekly, till from
under the assassin's hand, his Ia
= Dor done and his fame complete
God called and crowned him.

WAYS no aUCCEssS.

Over fifty years ago, q youth
working on farm, asked his father
to give him money enough to buy s
gun. The old man could not spare
it, but the boy, nothing daunted,
found ar old piece of iron about the
place, and in the course of time con-
trived to make gun barrel out of
it, with the very meager facilities
afforded by q country blacksmith's
shop. lie had not the materials to
make lock and stock. so walked to
the nearest town and s'traded" for
the necessary attachments, and was
encouraged by the smith for having
made so good 8 shooter. This gave
him the ambition to make another,
so he went to cutting ont grind
stones from the native rock to raise
the money for gun materials; in q
short time there was considerable
demand for guns of his make. Du-
ring the French war with Prussia
he was called upon TO furnish guns
for the army. and in less than eight
months he made and delivered tO
the government of France rifles of a
particular pattern, costing five mil.
lions of dollars, which amount was
duly paid. The man furnishes ri.
fles now for the United States
South America, Rome, Spain, Egypt
and japan. The farmers boy who
wanted 9 gun is now Eliphalet
Remington, of Ilion, New York
His manufactury covers four acreI
of ground, and he employs twelve
hundred men. Not satisfied will
his achievement, he has recently
completed q sewing machine, which
is reported to present the lates
and most perfect advance in the i'm
provements of this important ad
iunct of domestic economy. Thi
is abe type of = boy who, whel
there was not way, makes wa,

Fletcher VVIIlIauns, GUN.
Max Adeler relates this story ::

Max Adeler relates this story:
"Recently it occurred to Mr..
Fletcher Williams, of St. Paul, that
it would be q good thing to go out
and see if he couldn't shoot q rabbit
or two. He always kept his gun
loaded aud ready in the corner of
the room, so he merely shouldered
it and went out. After q while he
saw a rabbit, and, taking aim, he
pulled the trigger. The gun failed
trigger, and the cap snapped again.
Nc. Williams used some extreme
language, and then, taking pin, he
picked the nipples of the gun, prim-
ed them with q little powder, and
started again. Presently he saw
another rabbit, but both cSps snap
ped again. The rabbit did not see
Williams, so he put on more caps
and they snapped too. Then Viii.
liams cleaned out the nipples again
primed them, and fired the gun of
at q fence. Then the caps snapped
again. Then Fletcher became furi.
Gus, and in his rage he expended
forty-seven caps in an effort &c
make that gun go of. When The
forty-seventh cap missed also
Fletcher thought that there nigh
perhaps be something the matter
with the inside of the gun, so ht
tried the barrels with h isramrod
To his bitter disgust, he discovered
that both barrels were empty. Mrs
Williams, who is nervous abou
firearms, had drawn the loads with

making him angry. If there ha(

the nanrlaT's IN KANSAS.

The Chicago Standard contains
the following notes upon the Zap
lists in Kansas:
All things considered, the Bah
fist cause in Kansas never seemed
in a more hopeful condition than
now. The brethren are working
with entire harmony in all depart.
ments. A number OF pnlpits va
cant one year ago are now ably fill
ed. And there is eveidently 9
toning up of the churches. Rev
j. b. Hardwick, of Atchison, came
less than year ago, from West
Virginia. He was received with
great cordiality, and is calling a
large congregation, the largest in
the city. Atchison is improving,
and the church partakes of the
general prosperity of the place.
A railroad bridge is being con
structed over the Missouri river
to connect the Kansas railroads
terminating at Atchison with the
eastern roads.
The Kansas Sunday School Con
vention met at Atchison the last
week in October. So far AS we
could judge the meeting was a
good one. We expect u report
from Bro. Hardwick.
Rev. /. S. Kalloch is doing u
grand work In Leayenworth. His
preaching is ahlc, tender and per-
suasive. The congregations are
large; in the evening, especially,
the large house is filled. Bro. Kali
looh is received with the fullest
confidence by church and commu-
nifty. He has, to a remarkable de-
gree, won the hearts of the people
of all classes and denominations.
There have been some important
accessions to the church, and an
excellent spirit prevails. The visit
of Bro. Earle, the evangelist,
which is expected the coming win
ter, is anticipated with hopeful
ness.
The Baptist cause at Topeka,
the capital of Kansas, has taken an
advanced position the present
year, under the passionate of Rev.
G. Monjeau. Bro. Monjeau is
highly educated, has studied and
travelled extensively in the Old
World, is attractive and earnest in
his pulpit ministrations, and
draws a full house. 1t is often
difficult to find q seat, especially
in the evening. The meeting
house at Topeka is only partially
completed. Some improvements
are contemplated this fall. If
some brother to whom God has
entrusted means would give this
church 81, 900 it would be good
investment. A more earnest, lib
eral, or Acknowledgements are not
often found. Bro. j. Barrett still
holds up the standard at North
Topeka.
Rev. j. W. Warder, at Lawrence,
is gathering up the scattered ele-
ments, and laying the foundation
of future prosperity and enlarge
ment. Time, patient, judiciOus
work, and the Spirit of the Lord
softening and subduing the heart,
will overcome every obstacle. In
addition to being an able preach
er, Brother Warder is one of our
most iudicious and successful pas
tors.
Rev. I. N. Clark, at Ottawa, and
Rev. I. w. Green. at Fort Scott,
and Rev. j. r. Downer, at Salina,
are all doing Il good and success
full work. The pulpits in all the
places named were destitute one
year ago. In supplying these
places with such marked fitness
and ability, the Lord has shown
to Kansas peculiar favor.
