President Lincoln was evidently a
silver man. The Chicago Inter-Ocean
says that when Mrs. Lincoln was resid-
ing on West Washington street, in that
city, shortly after her return from
Washington, some friends who had
known her Intimately at Springfield,
called upon her one evening, and in
the course of the conversation she said
the one thing which seemed TO trouble
Mr.. Lincoln shortly before his death
was the vast amount of the national
debt. But he said he believed the
same Providence that had permitted it
to be created in abolishing slavery had
provided, in the vast SILVER mines of
Nevada and the West, the means for
its payment; and he added, that when
his term expired he thought he would
go out there and see il he could do any
thing to aid in developing the same.

The production of tobacco has re-
Gently become a very important ag-
ricultural interest in Pennsylvania.
1t is asserted that the State now
produces more tobacco than the
Connecticut Valley, and it is believ-
ed that in few years its crop wall
be larger than that of Connecticut,
Virginia and Missouri. In proof of
this it is set forth that Lancaster
county in 1876 produced nearly 49,
100000 pounds of tobacco equal to
the combined crop of Connecticut
and Massachusetts for 1875. Last
year the yield of Pennsylvania was
between thirty and thirty five mil
lion pounds, and it will this year
prove much larger.

I would not do so, as l said | would only b.
imagining all sorts of dreadful things; beside
his mother and Mary would like to have mi
with them.
It all turned out as we'll as could be. Th'
night was very fine; and just at IL O'CLOCK
Martha stole down to the place where hat
seen her the night before; then we all, abou
dozen policemen and ourselves, went intt
the house. The men were stationed out O.
sight in different rooms, waiting for the rob
bers' entrance. Henry came up to Mrs. Ben
sons room, where all of US women were, in
Guiding the two servants. With breathles'
anxiety we watched and waited. From where
I stood could see the way they would come
1t was about 2o'clock when | saw Martha
coming up the walk, and four men with her
"Look !" I said; "there they are" They
went around to the back door, and we heard
them stealing along the passage in the direc
ton of the plate closet. Then a sudden
rush-a scream from the wretched Martha
irnprecations loud and bitter-a shot-ancth
er scream!
"May God grant no lives will be lost!" We
prayed.
Poor Mary nearly tainted. At last We
heard the officer call Henry to come down.
The four men were we'll secured and taken to
the police station. Martha was taken there
too. She confessed she had let them in ior
the purpose of stealing the silver. One Of
the robbers was slightly wounded in the arm,
but no one else was hurt. Very thankful was
l when I found next day that none we're the
worse for having gone through such a terri.
BILE scene.
The house where Martha's husband lodged
was searched and the case of diamonds and
many other valuable articles found there.
This immensely respectable gardener had
been disgrace to his family and his profes.
sion. Left very much to himself through
the indulgence of his employer, he had con-
tracted the habit of tipping with low asso-
ciates at the neighboring village, and became
so completely demoralized as at length to 49,
sumo the degraded character of burglar.
Now came the retribution which attends on
wrong-doing. The thieves were all tried at
the next assizes, and sentenced to various
terms of imprisonment.
1t is now many years since all this hap
pened but can never forget what | went
through those two dreadful nights; though
l remember with thankfulness that, through
my dream and the warning voice heard, l
was the means of averting great wrong, and
perhaps murder. | do not impute anything
supernatural to my dream. 1t may have
merely been the result Of tension of feelings,
supported by some condolences. At all
events, the results were such as l have des.
oribed.

bolt referred to struck the chimney first, and
hence would not puncture the tin, but under
microscopic examination you will find the
tin singed. And if you will examine the
mechanical effects of the bolt on the chimney
you will find that the projectile came from
the west or southwest, most likely. They all
come from that direction in the northern
temperate zone. I say without hesitation
that dwelling, or building, having metal
roof presenting surface of 1900 square feet,
or more, is insuficiently protected from the
destructive effects of thunderbolts. Solomon's
temple, standing at place very subject to
thunderbolts of the heaviest kind, during all
its time of standing, withstood the effects of
lightning, because it was literally covered
with metal, and of the finest kind. The finer
the metal, the less it takes to compensate a
thunderbolt."

HENDRICKS ON THE OLD.TIME MILLER.

The Millers' National Convention was held
in Indianapolis last week, and on Thursday
the delegates went on an excursion. A well
coming speech was made to them by ex-Gov
Hendricks, aud, among other things, he said :
"As boy was acquainted with the miller,
and 1 thought him great man. When he
raised the gate with such composure and con-
fdence, and the tumbling waters drove the
machinery ahead, l admired his power. And
then be talked strongly upon all questions. He
was very positive upon politics, religion, law,
and mechanics, and any one bold enough to
dispute a point was very likely to have a
personal argument thrown into his face, for
he knew all gossi ip among his customers
[Laughter.] He was cheerful. l thought it
was because be was always in the music Of
the running water and the whirling Wheels
He was kind and clever-indeed, so much so
that be would promise the grists before they
could be ready, [laughter,] and SO the boys
had to go two or three times. He was a
chancellor, and prescribed the law. Every
one in his turn. The miller, standing in the
door of his mill, all white with the dust, is a
picture ever upon the memory of even this
generation. 1t is picture of a manly figure
| wonder if you, gentlemen, the lords of many
runs and bolts, are ashamed to own him as
your predecessor. It was small mill, some
times upon "a willowy brook and sometimes
upon the larger river, but it stood on the ad.
vance line of the settlement, with its one wheel
to grind the Indian corn, and one for wheat,
and in the fall and winter season one day in
the week set apart for grinding buckwheat
1t did the work of the neighborhood. Plain
and unpretentious, as compared with your state
ly structures, I would not say it contributed
les, toward the development of the country
and the permanent establishment of society.

the public welfare, that the authorities that

The DEATH OF A GENERATIoN.-Aw writer
in an English magazine studies from birth to
death, the march of an English generation
through life, basing his remarks on the an
nual report of the register general. The au.
thor singles out, in imagination, generation
of 100000 souls, and finds that of these
more than one-forrth die before they reach
FIVE years of age. During thenext five years
the deaths number less than one-seventh of
those in the first quiD9uenium. From ten to
fifteen, the average mortality is lower than at
any other period. From fifteen to twenty,
deaths increase again, especially among wo-
men. At this period the influence of danger
GUS occupations begins to be seen in the death
rate.
Fully eight times as many men as women
die violent deaths. The number of such
deaths continues to rise from twenty to TWEEN.
ty-fve, and keeps high for at least twenty
years. Consumption is prevalent and fatal
from twenty to forty.6ve, and is responsible
for nearly half the deaths. From thirty-fve
to forty-6ve the effects of wear and tear begin
to appear, and many persons succumb to dis
eases of the important internal organs. By
6fty.fve the imagined million has dwindled
down to less than one-half. or to 421, ,115.
After this, the death-rate increases more rap
idly. At seventy-6ve there remains 161 ,124,
and at eighty.fve, 1866. Only 202 reach
the age Of one hundred. At tifty.three the
number Of men and women surviving is about
equal, but from fifty.fve onward the women
exceed the men.-Popular Science Monthly.

A LESSON FOR ALL-Look most to your
spending. No matter what comes in, if more
goes out you will always be poor. The art is
not in making money, but in keeping it; little
expenses, like mice 10 large barn, when they
are many, make great waste. Hair by hair
heads get bald straw by straw the thatch
goes off the cottage, and drop by drop the
rain comes into the chamber. A barrel is

mouth many things pass down the red lane.
In all other things keep within compass.
Never stretch your legs farther than the blan-
kets will stretch, or you will soon be cold.
In clothes, choose suitable and lasting stuff,
and not tawdry 6neries. To be warm is the
main thing, never mind the looks. A fool
may make money, but it needs wise man to
spend it. Remember, it is easier to build
two chimneys than to keep one going. If
you give all to back and board, there is moth
ing left for the savings bank. Fare hard and

A SAFE RooF DURING THUNDER-SToRMs.
Professor john Wise, Of Philadelphia, high
autbor;:7, writes to the Richmond Dispatch
relative to the striking of the chimney of a
house in Richmond by lightning. in which
DR.. Taylor lived, although the roof was COW
cred with tin. As Prof Wise has had long
observation, and what he says is important
and instructive, we copy part Of his letter.
He says:
"a metal roof does not prevent the build
ing from being struck by thunderbolt; it
only saves the building and its contents from
injury by the bolt. The metal surface acts
as correlative to the electrical force a bolt
striking metal roof punches hole through
the metal never more than all inch and

HINTS ABOUT WATERING water that has
stood in open vessels during the night should
be used for drinking or cooking. By expo
sure to the air it has lost its aration, and has
absorbed many of the dust.germs floating in
the apartment. If convenience requires wa
ter to be kept in vessels for several hours be.
fore use it should be covered, unless the vessels
are tight. Wherever practicable, all distrib'
uting reservoirs should be covered. Filter.
ing always adds to the purity of water.
Drinking water should not be taken from
lakes or rivers on low level. Surface wa.
ter in lakes, pools, or rivers, which receive
the surface wash, should be avoided as much
as possible. Do not drink much water at a
time More than two tumblers full should
not be taken at q meal. Do not drink be-
tween meals unless to quench thirst, as excess
of water weakens the gastric juice and over
works the kidneys. Excessive potations,
whether of water or other fluid, relax the
stomach and impair its movements. By
drinking a little at time the injury is
avoided.

WASHINGTON, Apr. %. 1878.
The Potomac river fishing season usu-
ally begins the last of March and ends
from the 1st to the 10th of May, aver
aging between and 6 weeks duration.
Many not yet arrived at llfe's meridian
remember how 100000 behring's and
sturgeon, rock-fsh, catfish, perch, tay-
lors, shad and other varieties in like
proportion, were taken at one haul of
the nets along the fishing shores of our
river and Chespeak Bay. Then her.
ring could be bought at 25c per 1000
and 1-4c was thought an extravagant
price for pair of the largest shad.
The yield frequently so far exceeded the
supply of salt for curing purposes that
hundreds of cart loads of fish were left
to rot and aggravate the type of malig-
nant disease prevailing the year through
in the Underwater regions of Maryland
and Virginia, even after the adjacent
farmers had drawn away for manure as
many as they would, without money or
price. Many species now eagerly
sought after at a high price in the mar
kets, were then rejected as wholly unfit
for human food, even by the slave pop
ulation not usually over fastidious.
Adjoining waters were equally prolific.
But the waste increased relatively with
the improved appliances and methods
taken for an abundant catch. With
the system now in vogue only a small
proportion of the schools of fish that
annually strive to reach the spawning
grounds on the upper Potomac, escape
the traps set for their capture every
few rods for hundred miles. The re.
suit is as has long been anticipated,
