Lincoln on the Lift.

Few were aware of the physical strength
possessed by, Mr.. Lincoln. s3In muscular
power he was one in thousand. One
morning we were sitting on deck, he saw
an axe in a, docket ontE the bull
warks, and, taking it up, held it at arms
length at the extremity of the helye, with
his thumb and foreinger,, continuing to
hold it for number of minutes. The
most powerful sailors on board tried in
vaint initiate him. Mr.. Lincoln 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. It occur
red to me, when reading the details Of the
plot that terminated in the death of the
president, that his abduction, which was
at one fine proposed by the c6nspirators,
would have resulted very disastrously to
those who should have had the termity to
undertake it. The plan proposed was to
waylayy the Presidential night td1riAg one
of his frequent visits to the War Depart
ment, where he was in the habit of going
to read the telegraphic dispatches, dur

ments, and where he would often remain

London Times. s-a..est,.[1
A terrible murder with robbery has
been lately reported from Ekaterinoslay.
A soldier just returned from the thcater
of war had gone to the village Of Karn-
auchowka. While there he was asked to
be a godfather to a child about to be bap-
tized. The pope who performed the rite
was venerable man of about sixty years
of age, and the soldier was so impressed
with his devotional demeanor that at the
conclusion of the ceremony he presented
him with gold piece as an honorarium.
The unusual value Of the gift attracted
'thc attention of the priest He asked the
soldier whether he had many similar
pieces, The latter answered without re-
serve that he had been able to save his
pay and had been otherwise fortunate aud
that he had turned all into gold, which
he carried about him. The cupidity of
the priest was aroused The better to Sc
cure his object he took his. deacon into
confidence, and they res0lved to watch an
opportunity to rob the Soldier. A few
days later this latter set out on his journey
,,homewards. He had to pass through a
thick wood. This the conspirators learned
beforehand. They lay I'M wait for him,
attacked him, felled him to the earth and
literally gnawed his throat in the absence
of weapons sufficiently homicidal. Hav-
ing robbed him they left him by the way:

found the unfortunate man still, living.
They were so prompt and ,skillful in their
attention that he recovered consequences
and vas able before his death to indicate
clearly who were his assassins. They are
now in the hands Of the police,

How a Woman Reads a Letter.

At noon Mr.. Pettibope starts for home
and dinner, On his way he stops at the
postoffice, and, perchance, gets letter
directed to his wife. He has been through
the mill, he has, and, with a chuckle, very
carefully places the letters in his inside
pocket, and mentally decides that Mary
Jane will not get that letter until after
dinner, not if he knows it, Smiling at
the strategem of his little game, he pro-
cecds joyfully homeward, his appetite
waxing sharper each moment. As he en-
Wand salutes him. Little Johnny also
salutes him, with kiss, and leaves his
imprint. Going into his pocket for his
handkerchief Mr.. Pettibone pulls out the
unlucky letter without thinking. He
makes quick movement to return it to
his pocket. But his perceptive wife is
too quick for him and successfully reach
es for the missive. She studies the su-
prescription, and declares it is from her
cousin Ann. Then she looks closer and
says:
''No, it isn't either, it's from Mrs.
Smith. You remember Mrs. Smith,

The Pope, as it is we'll known has been
q member OF the Arcadia many wears
Arcadia is the celebrated literary Roman
society that was founded in this city a,
the end of the seventeeth century. Its
frst meetings were held in the Palazzo
Riario, now Crosini Lunagara, inhabited
1theni by Christina, oflESweden. n That
tQueen was its first patroness. The men,
bers of the society originally were learned
men who formed the literary court that
assembled around that remarkable wo-
man. The first meeting was held on the
24thpf Japuary, 1856, oveY 200 years ago.
The celebrated jurisconsu1t, Gravina, was
lone of the first officers Of Arcadia, and
Idrewsits beautiful table of laws. The
lmain end of the society was the study of
moral philosophy, and poetry was after
wards added. The first President was
the distinguished Crescembemr He
wrote'a history Of the society, as Well as
many other literary works. When the
Queen of Sweden died, 1859, the academy
became an independent society. Its meet
ings were sometimes held in the Farnese
gardens on the Palatine, then in the Giar-
dine Gucnasio, on the lonely and beauti-
tul Aventine; it was at that time the
places OF meeting took the names of b.
sen Parrasio and Arcadia, and the society
continued the custom, ill., adhered to,
OF imposing Greek poetical names on its
members IN [nr,e conformity to the first pastor
al Auea. Xsa sNoig 9sH7 .szsa RssII
The first meeting Of Arcadia as an in
dependent society was on the 5th of
October, 1889, on Moifte Janiculum, in
the classic garden of the Convent of St.
Pldto, IN Montorio, under the shadows of
Tasso's oak, a. beautiful locality. The
new constitution of the society was re-
publican, and its chief officer, Cresimbcni,
was no longer called President, but
Custode Generate, and his name in Area
dy was Alfsibeo Ciaro The office of
Custouc is,still re-elected1 OF q. new one
chosen. The first Custodc, Cresimbeni
or Alfesibeo, became celebrated in the
literary circles of the eighteenth century
all over Europe.
In 1926 Arcadia left it's beautiful
grounds ofsEasso and went to its present
locality, on the Janiculum, The fine gar
dens and palatial buildings which were
given to the society by the King of Portu-
gal, John V. The beautiful gateway of
the Bosco Parraslo, on. the Janiculum,
and the handsome building now used by
Arcadia were designed in 1886 by the
distinguished architect, Azzurri, Profess
sor of St. Luke, and one of the leading
Roman architects of our day. The Bosco

and autumn meetings; the winter city
