Mr.. Lincoln's Strength.

Few were aware of the physical
strength possessed by Mr.. Lincoln. In
muscularpOwerhe he was one in Il thousand.
One morning while sitting on deck, he
saw an AK i'll a socket on the bulwarks,
and taking it up, held it at arms length
at the extremity of the helve with his
thumb and tOretinger, continuing to
hold it there for number of minutes.
The most powerful sailors on board
tried in vain to initiate him. Mr.. Lin
coin said he could do this when he was
eighteen years of age, and had never
seen a day since that time when he
could not. 1t occurred to me, when
reading the details of the plot that ter
minated in the death of the President,
that his abduction, which was at one
time proposed by the cOnspiratOrs,
would have resulted very disastrously
to those who should have the temerity
to undertake it. The plan proposed
was to waylay the President at night
during one of his frequent visits to the
War Department, where he Was in the
habit of going to read the telegraphic
dispatches during the time OF impor-
tant military movements, and where
he would often wait until a very late
hour, returning alone through the
grounds of the White House. A halt
dozen men were to seize and carry him
| off but, had they attempted it, they
would probably have found that they
had met their match, for he had the
strength of giant. Judge SWEET OF
Chicago, who was an intimate friend
of his, says that he has seen him dash
into a crowd where two powerful men
were fighting and taking each by the
collar, hold them out at arms length
i'll the most helpless and ridiculous posi-
tion. Lincoln's familiar campaign SObri-
guet of 'Rail-splitter" was undoubtedly
we'll earned in his youth, and in this
athletic occupation he probably had ne
rivals. The necessities of his early life
imbued him with that self-reliance thai
became part of his very nature an6
exhibited itself on all occasions. He
never liked to be waited upon, or t'
ask any one to do anything for him tha
he could possibly do for bimself.-Gen

He went into the army and served till
the surrender. After peace was made
l moved over into an adjoining county
and went to work, trying to repair my
broken fortune. One day a negro that
l had working for me knocked down
one of my horses, which so enraged me
that struck him several times with my
cane. He went away and returned with
a constable, who summoned me to ap-
pear next day before magistrate. Of
fees were not quite so numerous then
as now, and the magistrates Office was
several miles away. Well, sir, when
got there who should see on the bench
but old Crow Sam. He was fat and
greasy, and had on an enormous pair
of spectacles. When everything had
been made ready Court was opened,
and old Sam, giving me a searching look,
remarked:
"'Pears that Pve seed you afore."
''Look here, Sam," l said, 81 don't
like to be mixed up this way. Try and
settle this affair without malice"
''De law is gwine to hab its direck

crease and dimple preserved.


The ruins are visible several miles
away, as one looks down from the con-
tinental divide, from which the canons
begin their way in furrow-like gulches.
In the rocks of Pueblo Pintado, Mr..
jackson discovered elaborate stone
steps, where the rocks had been carved
into ladder-like rounds, which the
hands could grasp around. The Pueblo
Penasca Blanca on the opposite side of
the canon is in form of an ellipse. The
western half of the ellipse is occupied
by a massive structure, five rooms deep,
and the other half by single continu-
Gus row of small houses, serving as
wall to include the court. The interior
of the court is 346 by 369 feet by add
ing the depth of the surrounding build
ings, an exterior is obtained of 499 by
1863 feet, whose circuit is l 200 feet.
The great depth of the debris indicates
an original height of five stories.
The Pueblo Chettro Kettle is 440 feet
long and $50 feet wide, and presents
remnants of four stories. The masonry
of this pueblo is unusually handsome,
built of very small pieces of rich
buff sandstone, arranged so compactly
as to give the idea of homogeneous
surface. Mr.. jackson estimates that in
the wall running around three sides of
the building, 935 feet in length and 40
feet in height, there would be 2,000,-
600 pieces of stone for the outer
surface of the outer wall alone.
This surface multiplied by the oppo-
site surface, and also by the interi-
or and transverse lines of masonry,
would form total of 3O,OOO,0O0 pieces
embraced in 315, 200 cubic feet of wall.
The millions of pieces had to be quar-
ried and put into position; timbers
brought from distance, ladders con-
structed, and plaster prepared, employ
ing Il large number of skilled wOrkmen
under good discipline long time.
| When we consider not alone the i'm
mensity of these ruins now on the sur
face, but reason concerning the massive
foundations of other older buildings
under these, exposed by the chance
burrOwing of wild beasts, or the slicing
down of banks by washes and arroyas,
the mind, bounded by our little span of
three score years and ten, cannot fathOm
the obscurity of the deep-sunk ages of
the past, filled by the works of so great
an antiquity TOR December.

Bijah Helps a Good Boy.
[From the Detroit Free Press.]

A good boy of IL, having a tear i'll
his eye and lump in his throat, SHE'D
in very quietly and informed Bijah that
he had composition to write for
school, but no one would lend him il
helping hand. His father hadn't time,
his mother was sick, and his big sister
couldn't even write love-letter.
ga composition on machinery is
it ?" observed Bijah as he reached for
his pen. ''My son, I've written millions
of compositions, and I'll help you ont
with the greatest of pleasure. l will
now begin =
'There are several kinds of ma
chinery, one of which is Windmill.
If it wasn't for the wind mill the world
would soon return to barbarism. A
boot jack cannot he classed as ma
chinery, because it has no escape valve,
The same can be said of an extension
table. Among the greatest inventions
in machinery may be classed the en-
gine, locomotive, saw-mill, cider-press,
buck saw, jew's-harp, hair-brush and
hand-Organ. If it wasn't for machinery
we'd all have to walk around with ouI
hands in our pockets, and the price OF
lar and half. We must all give credit
to inventors. We must speak kind
words to them, never steal theiI wood
piles, and if they die we must feel very
sad. This is all about machinery, ex-
cept that the man who invented the
Acknowledgements never received hall
praise enough. Good-bye-love to all. >
The boy was delighted. A present
of five dollars wouldn't have made him
half as happy.
It'll beat the stockings off-n any
composition ever read in our school =
he chuckled, as he received it.
"I-I flatter myself it WILL" replied
BUah, as he stroked his chin in self
satisfied way, "and | hope that th,
moral that runs all through it, and sticks
out in every chapter, will have a goot
effect on teachers and scholars. G~v''

boy is always rewarded"
