ANOTHER LINCOLN SToRY.--While
Judge Logan, of Springfield, ILL.,, was
Lincoln's partner, two farmers who had
q misunderstanding respecting horse
trade went to law. By mutual consent
the partners in law became antagonistic
in this case. On the day of the trial Mr..
Logan, having bought new shirt open
in the back with huge standing collar,
dressed himself in extreme haste and
put on the shirt with the bosom at the
back, linen coat concealing the blunder.
He dazzled the jury with his knowledge
of "horse points," and AZ the day was
sultry took off his coat and summed up
in his shirt sleeves. Lincoln, sitting be-
hind him, took in the situation, and,
when his turn came, remarked to the
jury: Gentlemen, Mr.. Logan has been
trying for over an hour to make you be-
lieve that he knows more about horse
than these honest old farmers who are
witnesses; he has quoted largely from
his horse DOCTOR and now, gentlemen, I
submit to you there he lifted Logan out
of his chair and turned him with his
back to the jury and the crowd, at the
same time Tipping up the enormous
standing collar what dependence can
you place in his horse knowledge when
he has not sense enough to put on his
shirt? The roars of laughter that greet
ed this exhibition, and the verdict that
Lincoln got soon after, gave Logan a
permanent prejudice against "bosom
shirts, s,"@Decdtur Sun.

SLAVERY IN AFRIcA.-The idea that
slavery in Africa disappeared with the ab-
clifton of the foreign slave trade, an idea
which seems to be prevalent both in
Europe and America, is nevertheless
mistaken one. Slavery not only exists,
but its evils are very much aggravated
by the fact for want of 2 foreign market
the supply is in excess of the demand.
The value of the slave has deprecated
until the preservation of his life and
health has become matter of no conse-
quence to his owner. The increased and
growing export trade of Africa is the
product of slave labor. The slave not so
we'll fed or cared for is raising ground
nuts in some distant part of his own
country, as far away from his home and
his kin as though he we're cultivating
sugar on Cuban plantation. 1t is safe
to say that money and sympathy expen-
ded upon the negro slave has in no wise
ameliorated his condition. On the con-
trary, the trade that was made contra
band and abolishsd at sea has added to
its cruelties the thousand times greater
evils of transportation overland through
the jungles and marshes, where hun
dreds perish by the wayside from famine
and exposure.

Big GRAPE VINEs.-California has
probably 20 vines, each of which pro-
duces more than 500 lbs. of grapes as an
average crop. Among these are vines at
Coloma and Blakes, and near Montecito
and Stockton-representing the Sirerra
Nevada, coast the mountains north San
Francisco, the San Joachim Valley, the
southern coast, the level of the sea, and
an elevation of 5000 feet above it. The
Stockton vine, mile southeast of the
town, in the yard of Mr.. Phelps house,
is foot in diameter, and has this year
produced 5000 lbs. (24 tons), according
to the Independent. Wehave heard moth
ing lately Of the yield of the Montecito
and Colomo big vines. We saw the lat
ter in 1867 when young, and it then bore
1900 bunches of grapes. The Montecito
vine grew from the cutting of the old big
vine at the same place, set out in 1875
and cut down in 1875, when 80 years old.
It had diameter of Is inches, covered
an arbor ia feet long by 6S wide, and
averaged three tons as its annual yield.
The big vines of Blakes separates, at the
surface of the ground, into two stems,
each six inches in diameter. The vine
at Coloma is an Isabella; the other three
are of the Mission variety.

A Curious Bit Of Atlanta History.

A special dispatch to the Augusta
Euening Ne,rs, dated Atlanta, Ga, June
Is, says: Considerable excitement pre-
walls here over the finding of bones of q
human being this morning by workmen
engaged in excsvating for the cellar OF
Governor Browns building, in front OF
the passenger depot. This is the old
city park, and it is mystery how they
came there. They we're near the edge
of the sidewalk and not deep in the
ground"
And since the publication of this tele-
gram, our old friend and fellow citi-
zen, Mr.. Robert E. Kenney, has been
to see us and unraveled this mystery.
Mr.. Kenney, it will be remembered,
fought through the Mexican war, as a
member of the Edge6eld Company, COM
manded by Capt. P. S. Brooks. The
Palmetto Regiment, which left South
Carolina in the spring of 1S47, went as
far as Atlanta on the railroad, and
marched thence to Opelika, Ala. But
of course there was no Atlanta then.
On the contrary, the site was spot of
VIII WoOuS, Wueto tuo liaiu oIotPSu All
wood and water. But still Mr.. Kenney
knows it to be the precise site of the
Gate City. The regiment eucamped
here a night; and during that night,
private Reuben Gerald. of Co. D. four
Edgefeld company died. In the morn
ing, before the regiment moved, his body
was buried in the very spot where the
bones have been so recently discovered.
Mr.. Kenney went to Atlanta in 1866 or
1867, and then revisited the spot, in a
few steps of the hotel at which he stop
ped, and asked several citizens if any
body or bones had ever been disinterred.
He found no one who had ever heard
of any such thing. Col. Cary w.
Styles, so prominent in Georgia politics
and journalism, was corporal in Com
pany D., and Mr.. Kenney has the i'm
preston that he, Corporal Styles, COM
manded the squad that buried Reuben
Gerald. The latter was not an Edge
field man, but North Carolinian, who
was wandering about our parts-a hand
some anda brave fellow. Mr.. Kenney,
who is now in his sixty-third year, is a
very intelligent and well-informed man,
and has q very decided taste for antigua
rian matters.-Edgefeld Advertiser.

A Boys PRACTICAL JoKE.-A youth
living on Bragg street rolled an apple
barrel to the curbstone the other after
noon, filled it with cobblestones, headed
it up, and marked the barrel Apples
handle carefully" The youth retired to
await further developments, and they
soon came. A saw dust wagon came
along, aad the driver jumped down and
took long look at the barrel. He probab-
reasoned that it had been delivered by q
grocer, and he doubtless wondered why
It had not been rolled into the cellar.
Dusk was coming on, and the man drove
of. In quarter of an hour he returned.
"Apples" were there yet, and he drove
up close to the barrel. No one was in
sight, and he made dash for the prize.
He probably expected rather heavy
lift, but when he felt the weight of those
cobblestones his surprise must have been
great. He gave one awful lurch, lifted
the barrel about an inch, and as his fin
gers raked over the hoops he groaned in
agony and leaped into his wagon as if a
dog had been reaching for his coat-tail.
At various times during the night vehi-
cles we're heard halting and driving sud
denly away, but when day broke the
"Apples" were still there, though only
two hoops were left on the barrel.-Fon'

Children and Money.

Most persons seem to believe That chill
dren, even after they have reached an
age of intelligence and discrimination,
should not be trusted with money; that
those who are so trusted are almost lnva-
riablv ruined. More harm is done, in
our Judgment, by an exactly contrary
course. If children,-at least when they
are fairly out of leading strings,-are
not allowed to have small amounts of
money, how can they possibly learn its
proper use? Wise spending is the re-
suit of experience, instead of theory,
even with grown persons. How then
should the merest youngster learn to use
sixpences and shilings steadily withheld
from them?
Human nature is always benefited by
sense of responsibility and children are
by no means an exception. So long as
they are deprived of money, they can
have no clear idea of its value, and later
in life, when they begin to get tsome they
very naturally waste it in order to make
up for their early deprivation. a boy
should be allowed to buy his own tops,
marbles aud skates instead of having them
bought for him. In this way he will
enjoy them more, and have more thor
ough appreciation of them. If he makes
a mistake, chooses bad top or imper-
feet marbles, or poor skates, do not re-
place them with such as he would like,
but let him use those of his own selec-
tion till he has the money to buy others.
Next time he will know what not to buy,
will be more careful in deciding, and
will have gained desirable feeling of
self-dependence. 1t is, perhaps, little
hard for tender parents to compel chill
dren to abide their own mistakes. The
rule seems harsh; but the world is 30
infinitely harsher school than any home
can be, that, for ultimate good, present
pain may be endured.
Children accustomed to money in mod
Grafton have little, if any temptation, to
get it by improper or dishonest means.
1t then ceases to bear the attraction OF
forbidden fruit, or to appear to their ar
dent fancy as if all happiness were inclu-
ded in its power of purchase. Are not
the boys who pilfer, or carry from the
household anything they can turn into
cash, frequently those who have been i'm.
PEELED to it by ascant allowance of pocket
money from parents to whom it would
have been a trife? With legitimate in
diligence they very soon learn that a
shilling is worth but shilling, and that
dollar is only a dollar; that, badly
used, one or the other will bring discom.
fort as we'll as pleasure; and this lesson
cannot fail to be of permanent benefit
to them. The boy who has learned to use
sixpences judiciously while he is ten OF
twelve, will be pretty apt to understand
the proper value of dollars before he is
ont of his teens.

A Remarkable Prophecy.

still in the future-have already come to
pass. 1t is truly wonderful, to say the
least:-
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accident fill the world with woe. ~
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye. (2)
Waters shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet it shall all be true. (3)

A fr;end of tbe President is ere

"A friend of the President is credi-
ted with the statement that he "saves
over forty thousand dollars year of his
salary" 1t must be considerably more
than that. From all accounts of the
style of living at the White House it is
not probable that the whole cost of the
family there is five thousand a year.
There are no state dinners worth men,
tioning, no wines, nothing expensive ex-
cept what the government pays for:
LeDuc's cabbage and flower gardens sup
ply the vegetables and ornaments for the
table; the servants are nearly all paid by
Congress, and the fuel and gas are in the
appropriation bills there are no "small
vices" in the household; no diplomatic
or other social entertainments-nothing:
in fact, that can make material hole in
the salary. There is apparently nothing
to hinder Mr.. Hayes from taking home
with him, in 1881, nearly the whole OF
his four years. pay.-Chicago Times.

cause mineral acids destroy the poison of
the saliva, by which means the evil eff
fects of the latter are neutralized.
