A Pleasant Story of Lincoln.

While I was In congress. during
four years, / had frequent interviews
with President Lincoln, and never,
during all that time, did 1 hear him
utter an unkind sentiment. 1 was
told by Secretary Stanton that at the
first cabinet meeting afterithe surren-
der, the question as to what should be
done with the confederate leaders
was under discussion. Some of the
cabinet were for hanging, some for
imprisonment, and so on. During
the discussion the president sat at the
end of the table, with his legs twisted
up, and said not a word. At last some
one appealed to him for his views.
The presidents reply was: "Gentle-
men, there has been blood enough
spilled; not another drop shall be
shed, if 1 can help it," Said Mr..
Stanton: "This reply was like a
thunderbolt thrown into the cabinet,
and not a word of opposition was Of
fered. A man who could use such
language as that, at such time, could
truly subscribe himself: with mall
ice toward none and charity for ALL"

The bread on the waters has return
ed to young lady in Clappertown,
Penn, after few years. On Deem
Der %, 1873, she met on the railroad
train, lady who was very i'll, and she
kindly ministered unto her, taking
care of her and accompanying her to
her place of destination. When they
parted the sick woman offered to re-
ward the young lady for her kindness
and attention, but she would take
nothing. The old lady wrote down
the name and address, nodded famili-
arly to her and said, You will be paid
some day. The young lady never
saw her chance acquaintance again.
but the sum of $50, 600 has recently
been bequeathed to her. The old la
dy had no relatives in this country,
and left all her money to the girl that
had befriended her.

Sardines.

To those of our readers who are fond
of these fish, the process by which
they are caught. salted. and prepared
for European and American markets,
will be interesting reading:
From their name, it is often thought
that they come from Sardinia, whence
the chief supply originally came.
though for a long while they have
been mainly caught on the coasts of
Brittany (Bretagne) where thousands
of men, women and children are en-
ployed in tie business. Many fami-
lies have lived by the fisheries for
generations, and they and their labors
are always objects of interest to
strangers visiting the picturesque
province. Their vessels are generally
of eight to ten tons each, and have a
crew of six to twelve persons, who go
six to nine miles from land, and
when they see their prey they spread
their gill nets, scattering their bait,
consisting of eggs and flesh of cod,
mackerel and other flesh, and soon
haul them in In quantities. Some are
salted on board, but the most of them
are carried ashore, the best selected
and their heads cut off, are we'll wash
ed and sprinkled with fine salt. A
few hours later they are arranged in
almost perpendicular rows on frames,
and these are immersed again and
again in the best toiling (olive) oil.
When sufficiently cured, the oil is
drained off on uncovered tables
shopping toward central groove,
through which the oil runs into ves-
sci for the purpose. The fish are then
packed I'm the small tin boxes SO well
known to consumers, by women and
children, sitting around the tables,
and, when packed, are filled up with
fresh oil. and seIdered down by men.
The boxes are next put in an iron
basket, and plunged into covered
boiler of water, and boiled from half
an hour to an hour and half, accord
ing to their size. After drying, label
ing and placing in wooden cases.
they are ready for shipment. 1t is in
teresting to observe the industry, skill
and economy of the Brenton fishers,
who, though somewhat rude, are
sturdy. hardy. independent, and as
unlike the typical French as any peo-
pie of the same nationality can well
be. They are so thrifty and energetic
that many Of them have gained what
is to them handsome independence,
and they deserve it richly.

The party of reputation in the Virginia
Legislature succeeded in staving off action on
the proposition of the States credit6rs, in re-
gard to the debt. The measure has been
thus defeated for the present, and she ques-
tion is still open whether the Old Doninion
will pay portion of its debt, or will repudi-
ate it altogether. II there be any one in Viz
ginia who advocates paying the debt in fuh,
he is probably ''out of politics." we 10 not
hear of him. "The debt paying party" are
those who wish to accept the proposition of
the bondholders TO exchange their present
per cent. bonds for new ones to run ten
years at three per cent, twenty years at four,
and ten years at five per cent. The debt,
after deducting one-third, which they sener-
ously assign to West Virginia, is. in round
numbers $30,000,00O The proposition of
the creditors, if adopted, will save the State
in interest, for the forty years, just $26, ,000,-
900. The opponents of this measure would
carry the logic still further and save all the
interest and the principal as well. The Gov
ernor has called an extra session of the Leg
islature, at which it is hoped "the debt-pay-
ing party" may be able to effect something,
or at least force decision. The opponents
of the settlement do not generally advocate
open reputation, but are inclined to adopt
the ''do-nothing'' policy and let the debt
take care OF itself.

The telegraphic abstract of the report of

give an adequate idea of tie strength of that
document, especially of that part of it which
relates to the cipher dispatches. The full

the Republican case in very clear light and

fraud on thelpart of the returning boards in
the disputed States. Its great length pre-
cudes the publication of the whole of it but

OF it as deals more especially with the cipher

The renewed contest of Caldwell of Ala
bama for clerk of the House, has brought out
from those interested very curious story OF
frand On the ballot box perpetrated in the
Democratic caucus held in the house of rep
resentatives, to decide on the organization of
the forty-fflh Congress. The statement is
altogether from Democratic sources, and is to
the following effect: That a member who re-
garded himself as under special obligation to
one of the principal candidates had printed a
lot of cards bearing the name of Caldwell.
These he took, and with very hard pencil
made line through the name aud wrote be-
low with the same pencil the name of anoth-
er candidate. The pencil was SO hard and
made so light line as not to be noticed in
the subdued light of the hall by the friends of
Caldwell, to some OF whom they were distrib-
uted. When the ballots were counted, care
was taken to direct the attention of the tel
lers to these scratched tickets. CaldwelPs
friends now claim that enough Of these were
in the box to have changed the result aud
nominated him had the fraud become known
in time. The number OF thes g trick tickets
Is given at fifteen. The Democrats evidently
need supervisor law for the protection oi
those inside the party.

ment, convincing logic and biting sarcasm
are eminertly characteristic Of the gentle
man who represents the first district of

hypocrisy leads him to comment with much
severity on Mr.. Manton Marbles testimony,
but those who are familiar with that gentle
mans lofty moral tone during the canvass,
and contrast it with his acts as disclosed by
the cipher dispatches, must acknowledge that
Mr.. Reeds structures are just and well de-
served. The weak points of Mr.. Tilden's de-
fence are presented in very striking light
and the poor plea by which the coparceners
sought to extenuate their conduct, that Re-
publicans were ready to negotiate with the
returning boards, is shown to be utterly des-
titute of foundation. 1t was sorry day for

The Philadelphiaus have been experiment

The Philadelphiaus have been experiment
ing the past winter with philanthropic idea
which seems to have resulted successfully.
A committee of trustworthy gentlemen was
appoilted early last fall to receive weekly
savings of poor laborers toward the purchase
of their winters coal. Sums as low as five
cents were received. The workman, as a
rule, relishes anything in the shape of a saw.
ings bank, and pennies rapidly grew into dol
lars. The coal was purchased at wholesale
prices and distributed among the purchasers
according to their deposits. The committee
gave nothing but their time aud trouble, and
the poor people, by buying at wholesale
instead of basketful rates, have received
several times as much for their money as in
years past, by being wise enough to avail
themselves OF this economic opportunity.
