We like the way they do things
out in Dakota territory. Two "gen-
tlemen" got into trouble about a land
claim, and shot at each other until
both were killed. Now that saves a
great deal of trouble. The land
claim is settled, there is no expense
of a trial to the survivor, and the
whole business is disposed of with
out any foolishness. Fortunate Da-
kota!

zette a Republican sheet has this to
say of Ohio:
Republicans of Pennsylvania need
not have a moments depression over
the result in Ohio. That State, for
years past, has depended on other
States to help it through. Speakers
and money have been sent it, and it
has been carried along like a child.
This year it has been left to itself, and
has dropped down like q bag of salt.
And of such is the kingdom of the
Republican party.

Hon. WM. STRONG, n of the JUS

United States, is a Pennsylvania,
and was a member ofthe commission

settled the question against the
choice of the people; and now, for
the first time, the humiliating fact
is developed, over Judge Strong's
own signature, that at the time he
gave the casting cote he cleared a
great wron5 had been perpetrated
by the Louisiana returning board.'
This news becomes public through
the instrumentality of George w.
Jones, of Tennessee, who was an old
personal friend of Strong, both hav-

at the same time. In view of their
former intimacy, Mr.. Jones address

ry to Judge Strong:
"When you and I.were in congress
together, you were q democrat, and
regarded as an honest man. Do you
believe hal the people of Louisiana

as follows:

Anecdote Of President Lincoln.

Harper Magazine for May.
The following original and charac-
teristic anecdote of President Lin
coin comes to us from western cor
respondent:
am reminded very forcibly of an
interview which l once had with the
martyr President by reading in the
Editors Drawer Of your Magazine
what one of your correspondents re-
lates in regard to similar interview.
l called upon Mr.. Lincoln soon after
he was first installed in the White
House. In the room where Mr.. l..
granted interviews, ETC., were several
persons who were waiting their turn
to speak with him. | listened to
the requests of several men and wo-
men, and | saw that very few were
granted what they solicited. had
seat at or near one end of a long
table. Mr.. Lincoln sat at the other
end. Soon after l was seated, in
walked several officers III the Span
ish navy to pay their compliments
to Mr.. L. BY some means they
were directed towards my end of the
table, and saw they took me for
the President. Mr.. l.. saw the same
thing,and hastily signaled me to ego
ahead" as he expressed it, and re-
ceive them. / rose, shook hands
with each officer, and exchanged 4
few words with them, which would
have been, | suppose, appropriate,
had l indeed been President. The
moment their backs were turned, |
looked toward Mr.. Lincoln. He was
shaking with laughter. l thought
now l had paved the way to win the
position | had come to ask. | made
up my mind 10 address the Presi-
dent in new way, and thus add to
the hold | already had upon him.
SO, when my time came, stepped
up to Mr. l.. and said:
"Sir, l have seen the annoyance
to which you are subjected by SO
many and otten-repeated requests for
innumerable positions, etc. Now If
you will permit me to shake hands, l
will try and smother my desire for a
certain position which | had come
to ask of you"
Mr.. L. jumped up, and grasped my
hand said:
"Sir, you are one man in thou
sand. | am doubiy indebted to You.
You have been the means Of convey
ing to those Spanish officers that the
President of the United States is a

They found Lydia upon the ground
by the switch, and with the keys
still ciutched in her hand. What
had she done? What had happened
to her.
She could not answer. Nature
had mercifully taken away her senses.
They took her up tenderly and car
ried her to the station and laid her
upon q seat in the waiting-room.-
The passengers of the two trains
crowded the room and offered every
aid, for in some vague manner they
began to understand that size was
the creditor to the value of all their
lives. She had paid for their safety
with costly sacrifice.
The freight train backed down to
the cross. over switch and the engi-
neers of the three trains met and be-
gan to examine the position of the
switches. A number of men also
came from the express train, and
among them was one who seemed in
authority. He, too, examined the
line carefully, and the engineers ex-
planned the matter to him and listen
ed to his remarks with becoming def
erence.
The little room in the station was
packed with people, idlers, and 9th
ers, and they could with difficulty
bring him in.

were trying to restore the girl. at

Superintendent of the road is here
The crowd moved slightly, and the
Superintendent advanced into the
room. He took off his hat and
spoke quietly to the people near, and
then he stopped over the unconsci-
GUS girl and softly kissed her, like
as father.
"She saved all our lives, and |
fear she thinks she paid dearly for
them"
Suddenly she opened her eyes and
sat up bewildered.
"Where is he? Is he much hurt?
Oh! Perhaps he is"
"Let me alone, tell you," cried a
big, bold voice in the crowd, 81 must
go to herr
He escaped from those who would
detain him, and in a moment was be-
side her.
Some OF the peoplelaughed in fool
lsh Joy, others cried. The more del
icate and sensible were silent, for
the meeting was not for words Or
description.
After a slight pause, the Superin-
tendent said to the young man:
81 congratulate you, sir. You
were on the carr"
eyes, sir. was on the Car, and
l saved myself at the last moment
by jumping off. landed on a pile
of fine coal, and got rough tumble
and that was all. The car is a
heap of splinters."
Then the Superintendent called
the young man nearer to him
and spoke to him privately, and pres
emily they both shook hands as it
greatly pleased about something
The young man sat down beside the
girl, and whispered in her ear:
"I've got the place, Lydia. We're
all light now"
Then the bells rang, and the peo-
pie began to dispense towards their
trains. AS they departed, small
oreature-probably stockholder-
objected to the proceedings, and re-
marked to the Superintendent that
sit was not best to give fat offices to
brakemen for doing nothing"
"Preciscly," said the Superinten-
dent. "But the woman did some
thing, and, if you wish to know the
full measure of her splendid deed, go
put yourself in her place."
