The Last Picture OF Lincoln.

MIR. Noah Brooks, an intimate friend
of Lincoln, writes as follows in the
''4Miduinter' ,Scribner about the last
photograph of the President, drawing
of which by Wyatt Eaton has been en-
graved by Cole as frontispiece to the
same number of the magazine:
On Saturday night the President ask
ed me if had any objection to accom-
panying him to photographers on Sun
day. He said that it was impossible for
him to go on any other day, and he
would like to have me see him set.
Next day, we went together, and as he
was leaving the house stopped and said.
Hold on, | have forgotten Everett y
Stepping hastily back, he brought with
him folded paper, which he explained
was printed copy of the Grafton that
Mr.. Everett was to deliver, in a few
days at Gettysburg. 1t occupied near
ly the whole of two pages of the Boston
Journal, and looked very formidable in
deed. AS we walked away from the
house, Lincoln said, 1T was very kind
in Mr.. Everett to send me this. | sup

thing that he wanted to say. He needn t

makes me know to a certainty how much
or how little shall like the person be-
fore me. IF the fingers close about my
own with a short, quick, convulsive
grasp, I know that he will snap, snarl
and finally quarrel, and that the least

willy digits, the better off / shall be. If
a nervous cold hand glides into my own,
and seems disposed to lie there, without
life, | know at once my happiness would
be as nothing in that awful palm. But
if the hand grasps yours and holds it
firmly, in strong, warm fingers, you are
safe in cultiyating the friendship Of the
owner. These human hands From the
beginning of life they play an important
part.
"All the greatness of earth has laid
in the hollow of the hand The books,
the music, the pictures, the wonders of
architecture, the intricacies Of mechan-
icism, the mystries Of science and the
government of the countries, with all
their godlike beauties of color. sound,
symmetry, us efulness progression and
wisdom, have lain within human hand.
The highest aspirations and realizations
of the brain are brought to light through
the hand, and the tenderest love and
charity Of the heart make the hand their
dispensator. They can be tender min
isters Of comfort and peace, yet as cruel
and full of venom as the bite of an asp.
''And with all their power, with all
their charities, their tender touches,
their mischief-they are folded at last,
and those who speak of us tell of the
closing of eyes and the folding Of hands
as Il part of our going away. NORTH

The sum of all the sides Of right
angle triangle is 120 feet, and the short
est side is 80 feet; required the other
sides"
The above mathematical problem, Civ
en- in the Educational department Of the
BULLETIN some weeks ago, may be SOL
we'd by the following rule:
From the square of the sum of per-
pendicular and hypothenuse, subtract
the square of the base given and divide
the remainder by twice the sum Of per-
pendicular and hypothenuse The quo
tient will be the perpendicular The
other side may then be found by sub
tracing the perpendicular from sum of
perpendicular and hypothenuse.
The solution by this rule will be suf-
ficiently arithmetical, but who will ex-
plain this or any other solution of the
problem given without the aid of Alge-
bra or Geometry? ]. j.

Old Notes for the New Year.

Make yourself acquainted as far as
possible with the parents of your pupils;
oirays when you are troubled by one.
Report promptly to the superintend-
ent especial cases of excellent scholar
ship or extraordinary ability.
Parents rights are paramount to all
others. The schools belong to them and
not to the teachers.
Treat all school property as though
purchased with your own money Maps,
apparatus, and furniture of all kinds
should be carefully preserved. Not eren
one ink mark on desk or floor is excusa-
bic.
Talk often to and with your pupils
about proper department on the street,
hanging on to passing vehicles, vulgari-
ty. etc.
DO not answer questions asked you by
pupils other than your own, it there is
reason to suspect that the pupil is seek
ing to criticise his own teacher.
The room should be left at night with
a floor free from debrts, the desks free
from pencils, books, or rubbish.
The excusing of a hardness is an inn
possibility. The punishment can. and
should be remitted but the fact of the
hardness is part of history, and the
record must show it.
Do not permit pupils to leave the
room for trivial reasons. Allow but one
to be out during the same time. Few
pupils should ask permission in
the higher grades.
Study to know how to act in case of a
panic caused by an alarm
Frequent written recitatlOns should
be held in the grammar grades, and the
pupils held for capital letters and spell
ing.
Monitorial and self-reporting systems
are condemned.
Ten minutes is ample time for open
ing exercises.
Sit not upon desks or window sills,
nor permit pupils to do so.
Every expressed idea on the printed
page of the reading book should be un-
derstood, and every word spelled.
Written reviews should be held in the
form of monthly examinations, and the
papers marked and reckoned with the
notwithstanding for the month.
Recesses are not for teachers; their
supervisory work is then increased 1t
is no time for visiting.
See that every textbook has the own
ers name written legibly therein.
Ventilate the room well at recess.
Stick persistently and conscientiously
to the daily programme.

Influence OF Great Men upon Newspa.
pcrs. as Seen in New York.
n. Y. Cor. Springfield Republica

[ need not say that there are varlc
ty of opinions as to whether the Repab
h,can will be able to preserve its char
acteristics and maintain its high rank.
The fact that during Mr. Bowles $ ma
ny absences and long illness it has
shown no falling off in interest and pow
er, is encouraging. That it is in the
hands Of men he had trained to his
methods and imbued with his spirit and
ideas, is almost pledge to the public
that it will keep its hold upon public
attention and respect. But the fate of
some of the New York papers dampens
expectations. Raymond's Times is as
unlike the paper of that name to-day as
hare is unlike hedgehog. The 7ri-
Jujie is better paper than it ever was
under Mr. Greeley, but his spirit has
gone clear out of it, and it has but a
shadow of its former influence, and it is
a mockery to the great journalist $ mem
ory to call it the paper founded by
Horace Greeley" 1t favors about ev-
erything he opposed and sneers at aboct
everything he believed and loved. The
Herald bears very little appreciable
likeness to the paper made by the elder
Bennett in the interests OF the worst
elements of society, and dreaded by
good citizens and patriots. To-day it is
one of the most respectable as well as
valuable papers in the country, and is
almost nececessity to a New Yorker
who wants to keep abreast of the world.
Even the World has experienced a
change from heavy tragedy to light
comedy, as 1t were. The striking thing
in all these great metropolitan papers is
that the personal elements, which gave
each its character and power and intlu-
ence had gone, leaving machinery, mo-
ney, management, nimble wits and clev-
er pens to supply and advertise the va
cancy.,s 1t is the fashion to sneer at per-
sonal journalism, but the greater dailies
here are all suffering for the want OF
personal magnetism and force and char
acter. The San owes it's great circula-
ton and it's undoubted influence to one
of the most unloved men on the Amer
ican press. Croly, Of the Graphic, has
more intelligence and experience and
real power, than any man on the New
York press except Charles A. Dana,
but he lacks the courage which comes
from convictions, the enthusiasm that
generous faith and hope inspire, and the
tact in which Mr.. Bowles excelled. A
million dollars cannot fill the place in
the Chicago Tribune left vacant when
Horace White withdrew. l hope the
Republican will not rest in great mem
ory nor make the fatal mistake of too
many other papers in agreeing that mo-
ney and machinery will do the work of a
man.

The Railroad Ride OF a Husband to See
His Dying Wife.
Kansas City Times

One of the most remarkable trips on
record has just been made on the Atchi-
son, Topeka x Santa Fe railroad, from
Kansas City to the Rocky Mountains.
A rich gentleman named w. S. Dunn,
arrived in this city from the east on
Thursday morning, on his way to visit
his sick wife at Maniton Springs Color
ado. On his arrival here he received
telegram stating that she could not live
many hours The husband. who was
middle aged man, evidently a merchant,
seemed to be much affected by the news
and at once made inquiries for special
train. He offered large sum of money
for special engine to run to Pueblo
ahead of the regular train, but could not
obtain one here He took possession of
the telegraph wires between here and
Topeka, the headquarters of the road,
and offered 1850 for special locomo-
tive ro run at special speed across the
plain. His offer was accepted, and at
three o'clock on Thursday afternoon the
devoted husband started from Topeka on
his break-neck errand of love and duty
Away went the locomotive and car with
its solitary but sorrow!ng passenger, ov-
er the prairies of Kaw Valley, down in
to the valley of the Neosho at Emporia,
then off again over the high divide be-
tween the Neosho and the Arkansas val
ley which was reached before night had
closed in. Then, after taking water the
impatient husband and his tireless iron
horse started up the great Arkansas val
ley to the base of the Rocky mountains.
He reached Pueblo, Col, about u
o'clock on Friday morning, and then on
ly waiting for locomotive on the Den
yer and Rio Grande marrow guage) to
get ready, starting up to Manitou, dis
tance of fifty miles. He reached Mani
tou, at the base of Pixies Peak, in time
to see his dying wife, and was well sat
is6ed with the result of his fast trip.
The fastest time made on the route was
fifty miles per hour, thAsayerage time
about thirty-6ve miles. 1T is the fast
est time ever made across the plains
from the Missouri rives to the Rocky
Mountains.

Among the countless vagaries and
cruelties of parental despotism, none is
fuller of harm than the senseless haste
in teaching children their letters At
a time when the little ones are still
aglow with the first ecstasies of budding
life; when their senses hang eagerly up
on the varied impressions that greet
them in delightful confusion; when their
growing minds enjoy the luxury of
bringing more delightful order into this,
Of getting the mastery over the sur
roundings, of acquiring knowledge from
first sources, and of training skill and
gathering strength in self-active efforts,
parental despotism thrusts dead book
in the child face. with the peremptory
order to learn to read To the child this
order means in most eases: Give up all
that is delightful to you, stop thriving,
stop growing! He has just commenced
to appreciate the liring book, whose
pages have lain open before his delight
ed senses; and he is to exchange this
now for meaningless traces of printers

BUSINESS HABITS FOR WOMEN.
Harper's Bazaar.

1dTpcT 3 DdZdT.
The great surplus of women, as we
have found occasion to observe, are ell
tirely destitute of business habits.
Those that are not so, are such minor
ity among the whole number that they
hardly count at all. Now and then we
meet with one, to be sure, who is what
she should be in this respect; but she is
so phenomenal as to make us only more
plainly aware of the deficiency of her
sisters.
Many women owe this deficiency to
the circumstances that have made them
dependent on fathers and brothers and
husbands who have taken all the care of
their money matters, have obliged them
to render no account of receipts and ex-
penditures, and have only wished them
to keep the house cheerful and them
selves attractive. Some owe it to an in
herent laziness and dislike of any sort
of trouble, and another portion owe it to
silly fancy that they are more pleasing
in state of soft subjection and ignor-
ance and dependence, and that to have
any system or any knowledge of bust
ness might make them appear strong
minded and able to take care of them
selves; and they will tell you, if you
bring them down to fine point, that a
woman's charm is in her helplessness.
With these idiots we have nothing to do,
and but little with those whose indO-
lence makes them willing to put any un-
necessary burden-be it so slight one
as keeping and overlooking an account
upon the male members of the family;
for if they are really so idle as that,
they are probably too idle to be of much
use in any other way, and exhortation
would be wasted on them.
But those who are merely thoughtless,
or whose attention has never been di-
rected to the subject, may find their
profit by considering in what manner
they can become more systematic and
more able to face the world, should
they ever find themselves required to
dO so.
OF course we do not intend by this a
recommendation to them necessarily to
launch out into business, to open shops
enter professions, or create new indus.
tries, unless outer pressure advise or in
ner pressure impel; but we would mere
ly say that they would be wise to en-.
courage in themselves some of the me-
thodical habits of those who are already
in shops and professions. If father and
brother and husband can be out of bed
can have shaved and bathed and dressed
and breakfasted, and have gone off tt
business at nine o'clock in the morning
| whv should the female members of Tho
family who are in good health come
dawdling down an hour later, and il
their crimps and curl papers? Th'
same habit on their side of the hous,
would have had them out of bed early
and decently attired, beginning to Sc
the rooms in order, and all the earle
able justi6ably to sit down to fancy

would be an invaluable memento of its
great author. Lincoln took the copy of
Everett's grafton with him to the pho
tographcr's, thinking that he might have
time to look it over while waiting for
the operator. But he chatted constant
ly, and asked so many questions about
the art of photography, that he scarcely
opened it. The folded paper is seen ly-
ing on the table, near the President, in
the picture which was made that day.
So far as know, this was the last
time Lincoln ever sat for his photograph.
Unfortunately. the negative plate was
broken after few impressions had been
printed from it, and though Lincoln
promised to give the photographer
another sitting, he never found time
