"REMINISCENCES OF LINCOLN.
SOME OF THE STORIES j EssE BAKER, OF
CRANE CREEK. TELLS.


A writer in the Havana Democrat of the
10TH gives the following "reminiscences.
which will awaken in very many OF our
"grey boards (Ex-Prcsident Lincoln's Old
friends and ncighbors) memories of the
lone, long ago. The writer says:
Having been informed that Mr.. Jesse
Baker, Of Crane Creek, lived near old Salem.
when our assassinatcd President kept store
in that ancient burg, pilgrimatedto Uncle
Jcsscs commodious residence, SOME weeks
ago, and found rich mine of historical
wealth. After stating my GRAND, the vencm-
bic octogenarian cast his eyes on Il large por-
trait Of Abraham Lincoln, which decorated
the paror, and proceeded 10 relate, among
Others, the following: When Lincoln first
came to Salem, the people didn't like him
very we'll, for he was terrible uncouth
youngScr, but they got to like him mighty
smart shortly after. He was she honcstess
storckccpcr they ever had on the
Sangamon. He was great
fellow to joke. and was ctcrnally
a-studying some book. My father and a
couple OF other old settlers made up some
money to buy some books for him. often
bet with young Lincoln on horsc-raccs and
Understandings, but whenever he lost |
offered him the money, but he said: No.
no. Jesse; you won the money honestly, and
don't take it back. Lincoln was great
friend of the Rutlcge tnlniy. He took "A
great liking to Annie, and she never kept
company with anybody else. Abe and her
were engaged to he married. but she died,
and Lincoln took it so much to heart that
we thought he would 90 crazy. He wrote
mourntul verses from Burns poems with
chalk on the fences, and hummcd sad
songs for II long while. He finally got
married to Mary Todd, for whose father

Mary Todd was nice girl, but she couldn't
hold Il candle to Ann Rutlcdgc. helped
Lincoln survey some land on Culver That
stream used to be called Little Nackinaw,'
until named it Culver because it was SO
quivcring. While Lincoln surveyed some
government lands in Mason counsy, con-
stable levied on his compass ami other
instruments for debt, and he would
have sold or taken 'cm along if
| hadn't advanced money enough
to Kill the debt. Abe paid
me back the money a. soon AS he had it.
The first plea that he made was for lgc, and
il was in the Salem store. Some of ~ live
ly fellows had been on spree to spring

Lincoln cleared me, and the burnt cout tel

HINTS TO WRITER'S.

William Cullen Bryant once gave the fol-
lowing sensible advice to young man who
had offered him an article for the Evening
Post:
"My young friend, observe that YOU have
used several French expressions in your let
ter. think, if you will study the English
language, that you will find it capable of
expressing all the ideas YOU may have !
have always found it So. and in all that
have written | do not recall an instance
where | was tempted 10 use Il foreign word,
but that, on searching, have found bet
ter one in my own language.
BE simple. unaffected; he honest in your
speaking and writing Never use long
word when short one will do as well.
Call spade by it, name, not we'll
known oblong instrument OF manual labor;
let home be Il home and not residence
a place not II locality, and 50 on of the rest
When a short word will Ito, you always lose
by Il long one. You lose in clcarncss: you
lose in honest expression Of meaning; and
in the estimation of all men who are capa-
bic Of Judging, you lose in reputation for
ability.
The only true way to shine, even in this
false world. is to he modest and unuSs,lm-
inc. FaSchood may be thick crust, but
in the course of time truth will find place
to break through. Elegance of language
may not he in the power of us all. but SIM
plicity and straig htiorwardncSs are.
Write much as you would speak, and as
you think If with your inferior, speak no
coarscr than usual; if with your superior,
speak no finer. Be what you say. and
within the rules Of prudence. No one ever
was gamer by singularity OF words or in
pronunciation. The truly wise man will so
speak that no one will observe how he
speaks. A man may show great knowledge
of chemistry by carrying bladdcrs Of strange
gases to breathe; but one will enjoy better
health, and find more time for business,
who lives ON common air
Sidney Smith once remarked:
after you have written IN article, take
your pen and strike out half the words, and
you will be surprised to see how much
stronger it is

THE McCOsKREY WOMAN.

A Chicago Tribune correspondent gives
the following description of the woman who
is charged with the down fall of Bishop
McCoskrey, Of Michigan.
visited Mrs. Banister (nee Fanny Rich.
ards to-day, and had n long conversation
with her on this scandal. | found her at
her residence, 1872 Vinewood avenue. near
the Grand Trunk Junction, about five miles
from the City-lIall. She lives in prcttily
furnished brick cottage which affords plen
tcous evidences of taste and refinement
while n wellstockcd library shows that she
and her husband have pretty wide nc
Quaintancc with literature. She is anything
hut IN attractive young woman. She has
neither face, form, nor figure. She stands
about four feet ten inches in height, is slight
straight up and down. without vcstipe
of bust; freckled; eyes Of no particular hue
that can be described other than between
ashes and green; irregular yellow teeth
those on the right side of the lower law
slanting inward; angular; and in dress II
vcritable dowdy. ! should Judge her
weight at about eighty pounds, while her
feet are modelled upon II basis of Il woman
four times her size. Her age is little over
Is, she says, and | believe her. When she
talks she twists her lower jaw like Il scold
smgwhanging II ncghbor over fence.
She may have had all the elaborate cduca-
tion that it is claimed the Bishop gave her.
but if so she carefully conccals it. Her
grammar is worse than that of an Ann Ar
Dor graduate, which is saying good deal,
while her confusion OF the metaphors would,
if she would take to the photographic field,
knock all the imitators of Shillabcr end
ways.
never was more astoni.hcd in my life
than when saw this plain, ordinary, home
ly, commonplace little married girl--shc is
nothing more nor lcss--thc party of the

age. especially when considered that Bi-h-
op McCoSkrcy is II man over six feet in

fined gentleman in manner and bearing.

1t is probable that the entrance Of water
into the lungs has great deal to do with
the painlessncsS Of drowning. 1t is certain
that unc0nsciOuSncSS comes on more quickly

the lungs are filled with water. than when
the air passages are closed, while the lungs
remain intact. Most persons can hold their

A CAT STORY.

A gentleman in Paris had fine cat, when
it got old, fell martyr to rheumatism, and
moved It's limbs so painfully and slowly
that it could no longer catch mouse.
What did this intelligent pussy do. Simply
this Finding his old game played out, he
got nice piece Of tallOw candle and
crouchcd down with il in its mouth near II
mouse hole. So far, so good, and this was
intelligent enough But he beat his own
best on record. As the mice, attracted by
the smell, came out he didn't drop the can
die to grab them, and so perhaps brighten
them way. Not he. He just let them nib
bic away till their heads got right in his
mouth and then he snapped and Settled
