Mrs. Lincoln's Offer to Marry Gen.
Shields-A Duel.

The Chicago Journal reminds us
that away back in 1912 or thereabout
Abraham Lincoln came near fighting
a duel with General Shields, the
Union soldier of the Mexican and
Rebel wars, whom our confederates
refused to elect Doorkeeper instead
of General Field. General Shields
was Springfield Auditor, and was
gallant and "dandyfied." A letter
appeared in the Springfield Journal
over the signature "Aunt Becca," and
dating from the "Lost Townships"
1t referred to Shields as ballroom
dandy, "hoatin' about on the air with
ont heft or earthly substance, just like
lock of cat.fur whar cats had been
ightin'." etc. The letter caused
great sensation and made Shields
rave and threat terrible things against
the author. Then "Aunt Becca" wrote
another in which she apologized and
offered to let him squeeze her hand

Tie real author of these letters is
said to be Miss Mary Todd, at thct
time engaged to be the wife of Mr..
Lincoln. Shields forced the editor OF
the Journal either to become respon-
sible for the letters or name their au.
thor. Etiquette required Lincoln tc
stand between his intended bride and
the enraged man. He accepted the
challenge but on the way TO the "field
of honor" the matter was settled
without bloody satisfaction.

Table Syrups.

The Michigan Board of Health
hAs lately beon investigating syrups.
The chemist who made the analyses
was no less capable person than
Prot. r. G.. Kedzie, of the Lansing
Agricultural College. By calling
upon seventeen different families
among the "respectable citizens" he
obtained seventeen specimens of the
syrups they used. We are some
times told that our syrups are made
OF cid cotton and linen rags, paper
sawdust, &c. They can be thus mad
but the process would be more ex
pensive than the proper way of max
ing sugar aud therefore this methoc
is not employed. But Prof. Kedzie's
tests show that by far the greater
proportion Of the syrups in use are
made by cheaper process tIan by
use of sugar cane. They use starch,
suphurie acid, chalk and water.
Two tons of starch, with the chem
ical proportions of the othe ingredi-
ents, wouli mako nearly $500 gall
Ions of syrup. The same materials
arc also used for making sugar. These
ingredients are used in different pro-
portions and are more or less poison
Gus. A family named Doty were
seriously sickened by the use of one
form of this starch syrup. Prof.
Kedzio's classification of the seven
teen specimens are as follows:
No ] Pare cane sugar syrup.
No. Starch sugar syrup. Contains some
sulphate of iron (copperas) and contains in
each gallon 1e7'35 grains of lime.
No. 3.-The grocer called it poor "stua.n

Our attention was directed 10 Thu
report by Mr.. Whitcomb. living
north of Lancaster. His study o
tho subject loads him to the conelu
SION that the people should ask thei
merchants to procure for them New
Orleans sugars and syrups. IL IS no
best always to buy a thing becaus'
il is cheap. Starch sugar can o.
made cheaper than cane sugar on'
an actual dollars worth will not have
as mxch sweet aud will not preserve
as many plums as the cane sugar.
