A Cars COSTLY LEGs.-In India four men
bought quantity of cotton in copartner-
ship. That the rats might not injure it
they bought a cat, and agreed that each
showld own one of its legs. Each leg was
then adorned with beads and other orna-
ments by its owner. The cat accidentally
injured one of its legs, and the owner
wound rag round it, soaked in oil. The
cat by chance set the rag on fire, and,
being in great pain, rushed among the
cotton bales, where she had been accustom-
ed to hunt rats. The cotton was totally
burned. The three other partners brought
suit against the owner Of the invalid leg to
recover the value of their cotton, and the
Judge decided that as the injured leg could
not be used, the cat carried the fire to the
cotton with her three remaining legs
They only were culpable, and their owners
were required to compensate the owners o.
the injured leg for his share of loss.

Queen Victoria is said to object seriously
to the feminine fashion of wearing the hair
in fringe across the forehead. 1t is stated
further that she instructed the bridesmaids
who appeared at the recent wedding of her
son that they would not be permitted to
wear their locks in that fashion, nor to don
high heeled boots, nor to wear tied-back
gowns. Last year, it is reported, one young
lady who came to drawing-room with her
hair over her eyes was informed by the
Lord Chamberlain that until her hair had
grown she need not attend any more at the
palace.

A Valuable surres,ion,

1t is easy TO arrest the course of the
streamlet among its native hills. But
when it has flowed downward into the
valley and been multiplied by. hundred
brooks, it Is a difficult and sometimes
impossible task to arrest the mad tor
rent of waters. Thusit is with disease.
In its earliest stages, when the patient
notes the first symptoms of its presence
(often indicated ohfy by n sense Of Tam
guor, drowsiness, or a slight headache),
It is easy to arrest its progress and Sc
cure relief. But when, through care
lessness or neglect, it is allowed to de-
yelop, complications are apt to set in,
and it is NJ easy task to arrest it. Our
grandmothers taught their daughters
that "a stitch in time saves nine." A
pill in time saves not only nine, but Oft
times an ~incalculable amount of suffer-
ing as well. If the system be kept
thoroughly cleansed and strengthened,
IL is almost invulnerable to disease.
When the first symptoms of disease APP
pear, two OF Df. PiaFca'S PaTEa.iTe
Pellets, and a few doses of the Golden
Medical Discovery, to cleanse the blood
will, in almost every instance, arrest
the progress of disease and expel it
from the system. Those who have used
them are the loudest in their praise.
Their reputation is genuine, depending
upon their merits alone.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says il is a
significant fact that the democrats are
already beginning to talk about modify
ing their expressed purpose to abolish,
the supervisors Of elections by lacking
an amendment to the legislative lap
propriationbi bill. Senator Elaine is said
to have told Senator WbyteI
in the conference on this bill
that the position of the democrats re-
mended him of a man going out
doors in scant underraiment in abitter
cold night and took his dog from the
kennel declaring he would freeze the
canine to death. 1t was likely the presi-
dent could stand loss Of salary as long as
senators and representatives. The claim
made by democrats that the supervisors
law may properly be repealed by lacking
a provision to the appropriation bin be
causeitoriginally passed in that manner,
is d%isproved by an examination ofthe
record which shows it wasan independ-
emit measure and was fully debated be-
fore adopted.

RECOLLECTIONS OF LINCOLN.
beaih Of an Old Friend Of the Rail-Splitter
President-Mr. LIncoln's Sweetheart.

lFrom'the Virginia mD.Enquirer,l
John Nc Manner was buried last Sun
day, near Petersburg, Menard county.
A long while ago he was assessor and
treasurer of the county for several
successive terms. Mr.. McNamer was
an carly settler in that section and be-
fore the town of Petersburg was laid
out was in business at Old Salem, a vii
lage that existed not many years ago
two miles south Of the present siteiof
Petersburg. Abe Lincoln was then
postmaster of the place, and sold whis-
ky to its inhabitants. There are old
timers yet living in Menard who bought
many a jug of %cornjuice from Old Abe
when he lived at Salem. 1t was here
Annie Rutedge dwelt, and in whose
grave Lincoln wrote that his heart was
buried. AS the old story runs, the fair
and gentle Annie was originally John
McNamer's sweetheart, but Abe took a
"some" to the young lady, and succeed
ed IN heading off McNamer, and won
her affection. But Annie Rutledge
died, and Lincoln went to Springfield,
where he some time afterward married.
1t is related that during the war a lady
belonging to "a prominent Kentucky
family visited Washington to beg her
sons pardon, who was then in prison
under sentence of death, for belonging
to a band of guerrillas who had COM
mitted many murders and outrages.
With the mother was her daughter, n
beautiful young lady, who wa an ac-
complished musician. Mr.. Lincoln
received the visitors in his usual kind
manner, and the mother made known
the object Of her visit, accompanying
the plea with tears and sobs, and all
h customary dramatic incidents.
There probably were extenuating cir
cumstances in favor of the young rebel
prisoner, and while the president SEEM
cd to be deeply bordering, the Young
lady moved to a piano near by, and tax
ing a seat, commenced to sing "Gentle
ANNIE" a very sweet and pathetic
ballad, which, before the war, was a
familiar song in almost every house,
hold in the Union, and is not yet EN-
tirely forgotten, for that matter. 1t is
to be presumed the young lady sang
the song with more plaintiveness and
effect than Old Abe had ever heard it
In Springfield During its rendition he
arose from his seat, crossed the
room to a window in the westward,
through which he gazed several minutes
! with that, "sad, far-way look,', which

THE wonderful increase in the num-
Der of federal oficeholders within the
last fifteen years, is the text of many u
reform editorial in the east just now.
As the Pacific roads have been built
since then, and vast districts opened
up to civilization, the need of officers
to represent the interests Of the gov
eminent is apparent to even the
thoughtless. Postmasters especially
have increased amazingly, because of
the rapid extension of postal facilities
all over the broad west. Every one of
these is counted to make up the grand
army of federal office holders; but it is
thought worth while to publish
the proportion of postmasters who draw
no more than enough money to pay of
fice rent, and even less. Officials with
such advantages cannot prove of extra
ordinary strength in either a national
or local canvas. The puerile cry about
