There is scheme on foot for dredg-

and was grown by Mr.. Cook, on his
place at CARROLL Point, from seed also
raised by him. He tells us that he
has several more very nearly as large

what can be done on Florida land

Mr.. LINCOLN's STRENGTH.

Few are aware of the physical strength
possessed by Mr.. Lincoln. In muscular
power he was one in n thousand. One
morning while sitting on deck, he saw an
axe i'm socket on the bulwarks, and taking
1t up held it at arms length at the extrem-
ity of the helve with his thumb and fore
finger, continuing TO hold it there for a
number of minutes. The most powerful
sailors on board tried in vain to initiate
him. Mr.. Lincoln said he could do this
when he was eighteen years of age, and
had never seen day since that time when
he could not.
1t occurred to me when reading the de-
tail of the plot that terminated in the death
Of the President. that his abduction which
was at one time proposed by the conspira-
tors, would have resulted very disastrous
ly to those who should have the temerity
to undertake it, The plan proposed was
to waylay the President at night during
one Of his frequent visits to the War De-
partment, where he was in the habit of
going to read the Telegraphic dispatches
during the time of important military
movements. and where he would remain
until late hour, returning alone through
the grounds of the White House. 4 half
dozen men were to seize and carry him
off; but had they attempted it they would
probably have found that they had found
their match, he had the strength of giant.
Judge SWEET OF Chicago, who was an in
innate friend of him, says that he had seen
him dash into a crowd where two power
full men were fighting, and taking each by
the collar, hold them out at arms length
in the most helpless and ridiculous posi-
ton. Lincoln's familiar campaign sobr
quet of "Rail-splitter" was undoubtedly
well earned in his youth, and in his ath-
letic occupation he probably had no rivals.
The necessities of his early life imbued
him with that self-reliauce that became a
part Of his very nature and exhibited It
self on all occasions He never liked to
be waited upon. or to ask any one to do
anything for him that he could possibly
do himself.-Scribner's.
