The Grave Of Lincoln's Mother.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis
Sentinel, who recently visited the grave
of Lincoln's mother, at Rocheport, Ind,
writes as follows: No stone, no tablet,
not even q rough wooden headboard
marks the windowless place. Where the
headboard should stand small, uncouth
dogwood bush has deeply planted its
roots, thus reminding one of the apple
tree story associated with the burial
place of Roger Williams. To the right
of the grave, as you face the east, towers
a graceful oak, whose quiet shadows
seem, as it were, to hold communion
with the careless slumberer that reposes
beneath its roots.
As stood there in the beautiful mid
morning of refreshing summer day, re-
fecting on the worlds ingratieude, a
blithe, nimble squirrel was jumping and
chattering in the branches overhead.
Pretty little songster5 made the woods
vocal with their gushing minstrelsy,
while all the mourning, cooling of a dove
swelled ON the fragrant air like the dying
cadences of some weired requiem.
The scene, though impressive, was
beautiful, and recalled vividly of my
memory those enchanting lines of i'll
fated Shelley:
",Twas softer than the west winds sigh.
Twas milder than the unmeasured notes.

Whose springs the genli Of the breezes

Thomas Lincoln, father of the ILL.,
starred Abraham, emigrated to Spencer
county in 1917. The following season
his wife died, and in few years after
this domestic bereavement he removed
to Illinois. This, in brief, is the whole
story of the Lincoln family's history
connected with Indiana. The little rude
log cabin constructed by Mr.. Lincoln
and his son was carried away, I learn.
several years ago, by some enterprising
Chicago Yankees. And Little Pigeon
Church, where the hoy Lincoln listened
to the hymns of Zion, has changed with
the generation who gathered there in the
dim years of the past. All is changed.
Just why the grave of Mrs. Lincoln
has lain in neglect so long is mystery
to me. Surely the spirit that actuated
the Phillipses, Garrisons and Davises,
and the followers of these old-time Aboli-
tIonists Is dead. Could not their follow
ers pay the simple tribute Of respect
TO the memory of their great champion
by erecting plain shaft over the rest
ing place of his mother? For sixty-one
years not single stone has marked her
nameless grave. Is not this neglect an
other accumulated evidence that the
world Is uncharitable and republics nm

Sound Doctrine.

1t Is a mistake to think that men with
out money are without the means to set
tie on wild land. Every man with en-
ergy and muscle and nerve has the
means. he can make an honest living
out OF the ground in almost any part of
the West, and do it thousand times
easier than the men who planted fifty
years ago, and packed sack of corn
upon the shoulder 20 miles to mill, or
beat it to -four with a pestle. The mil
lions OF fertile acres are CRYING for hands
to turn the sod, promising to yield
wealth, health and happiness to the in
habltants OF the over-crowded alleys of
towns and cities. It would be better for
fathers and mothers to make any sacri-
fee of personal comfort than to raise
children in these rank hotbeds of vice,
where it is impossible TO protect them
from its taint,
Ii one-half the energy and enterprise
now displayed by labor unions and pro-
tective labor organizations were directed
to finding homes upon the unoccupied
lands of the West for the thousands who
could proftably till them, there would
be less occasion for complaint, both
from those who would go and those who
would stay. A little assistance to enable
deserving persons to secure such homes
would pay far better than the money
spent in sustaining strikes. There are
great many families in Chicago to-day
whose best interests would be served,
and whose happiness would be increased
il they could be persuaded and aided TO
leave the busy hum OF the city and dig
an honest living from the ground.
There is room enough yet. According
% the reports from the Land Once,
there are ia, ,3l2, ATT acres OF surveyed
lands ready for occupants, and nearly
twice as much more waiting the sur
veyor. During the ten years which
closed in June, the Government sold for
cash 81 .666. $40 acres of land, besides tfs
large grant to homesteaders. II the
MANY hundred thousands, who have with
hariships opened up their new homes.
could give their testimony, but few Of
fhem could be induced to move into the
sfified air OF our cities, and attempt to
raise their children amid the temptations
and vices that would surround them.

An English View of Mormonism.

In finishing q long editorial article on
the Mormons in Utah, the London Times
says:
Yankee shrewdness in adapting means
to ends is the great secret of their success.
Not satisfied with exciting enthusiasm,
the Mormon leaders have organized it.
If they get rid of Polygamy, which many
of their number assert to be not an essen
tial part of their creed, the Mormons may
possibly long continue to prosper and
populate the vast region which might
have remained a desert had they
not converted it into garden by
the exercise of patient toll and unre-
mitting industry. Not only are they
innoyators in religion, but they are also
reformers in social customs. They are
strictly temperate as Sir Wilfrid Lawson
could desire any man to be; good Nor
mons neither drink intoxicants nor smoke
tobacco. Brigham Young even abstained
from tea and coffee on the ground that
they were stimulants. Female suffrage
has been introduced into the Territory of
Utah. Cooperative associations have
long existed among the Mormons. In
deed, the stranger who walks along the
streets of their capital is struck with sign
boards on which is painted the Afl-seeing
Eye, the motto, Holiness to the Lord
and the intimation "Zion's Cooperative
Mercantile Institution" 1t is the boast
OF the Mormons that drunkenness and the
sin of great cities were unknown in Salt
Lake City, till the mines of the Territory
caused an influx of the Gentiles, and till
the strict regulations of the church
authorities were disregarded by the
authorities of the United States. The
education of the young is conducted with
care, and the Deseret university is as use
ful an institution as any one of its kind
in the Western States. Degrees are given
in it for proficiency in one of the three
courses of study-the classical, the scien-
tific and the commercial. As might
be expected, the commercial course
is preferred by students. The work
OF the classroom is representa-
tion of the work done in merchants
counting house; and the student is
taught not only how to carry on mercan-
tile correspondence, how to dispatch tele-
grams, insure property, recover compensa-
tion for injury or loss, but also how to
manage postal and telegraphic, bank
ing and an insurance Office. Mormonism
Is, in fact, curious mixture of discredita-
BILE and praiseworthy elements. That it
would not survive the death of Brigham
Young was confidently predicted by
many persons who had studied it on the
spot. Yet the death of its unscrupulous
leader has not had any apparent effect
upon it. A body which will soon number
10000 may not easily be got rid of or
dissolved.

yesterday, ten of whom were colored.
Two additional deaths have accurred-
John Waters and Ida Repter. The fever
is gradually spreading from two infected
points, and greater mortality may be
anticipated. The Committee of safety
this afternoon resolved that rations and
medical attention be supplied to all
camps and societies alike, provided that
all moneys or contributions received by
said camps or societies be turned over to
the safety committee. The city remains
remarkably quiet and dull.
Eleven new cases this morning. The
city remains remarkably quiet. There
has been but one arrest during the last
twenty-four hours.
Seventeen new cases in all-ten whites
and seven colored, were officially report
ed to the board of health for the "a hours
ending at 6 P. NJ. In addition to these
flve other cases, colored people, sick with
fever, were brought to the board of
health after the regular report had been
made out.

ed. The Weather is sultry, and heavy
storms prevailed last night to the north
of Memphis.
Twenty-nine cases in all have been re-
ported to the board of health for the
twenty-four hours ending at 6 P. NJ.
Nineteen of these are colored. Three
additional deaths have occurred This
is marked increase in the number of

THE CABBAaR.-Just speak to fine
lady about cabbages and she will think
that you have mentioned one of the low
est things on earth. Madam, you are
wrong. it is one of the most useful arti-
cles of food. Those ancient nations did
not know food science, but they knew
the value of good and nourishing things,
and they gave them the place of honor
which they deserved. Cabbages were
thought of highly by ancient nations,
and the Egyptians gave the cabbage the
honor of letting it precede all their other
dishes; they called it divine dish. The
Greeks and Romans had great affection
for cabbage, and conceived the idea,
which have myself, that the use of cab
bage keeps people from drunkenness. I
am persuaded that the constant eating of
certain vegetables kills the desire for al
coholic beverages. The Greek doctors
ascribed all kinds of virtues to cabbage.
1t was thought to cure even paralysis.
Books were composed to celebrate
the virtues of the cabbage, and ladies
partook of it soon after childbirth.
The Romans thought even more of the
cabbage than the Greeks. They ascribe
to it the fact that they could for 800
years do without doctors. and Cato
actually maintained that cabbage cured
all diseases. The ancients knew several
kinds of cabbage = the long-leaved
green cabbage, the hard white, so much
used in Germany for sauerkraut or
fermented cabbage, the curley and the
red. This last seems to have held the
place of honor, and was first intro
duced by the Romans into Gaul, or
France, and then brought to Great
Britain. Later the green-leayed cab
bage was introduced. The Greeks were
fond of aromatic seasonings-of oil,
raisin wine, and almonds. They boiled
or stewed the cabbage, and seasoned
it with cummin, coriander seeds, with
oil, wine and gravy, making rich dishes
of q vegetable, which we now boil in
water, and reckon among the plainest
food. Something like remembrance
of cooking cabbage among the old
Greeks has come down to the modern
Greeks, for they stuff cabbage leaves
with dainty minee meat, and then stew
them with gravy.-Mrs. Le,cis in Food
and Health Ledres.

The SUCCESSOR TO THE DuTcH THRONE.
The Continental newspapers have de-
scribed Prince Alexander, who by the
death of his elder brother has Just he
come Prince of Orange, as totally unfit
TO succeed TO the throne of Holland. A
Dutch correspondent of the Echo du
Rrrlenent, who writes from the Hague
and processes to have the best sources Of
information, says that this is complete
mistake. The Prince has not the robust
health that his brother enjoyed, but ae-
cording to him, he is . young man Of con-
siderable Intellectual gifts, and has de-
voted his life to serious study. He has
made himself especially familiar with the
working Of tlsa Dutch Constitution, and
Is known to be deeply int rested in every
measure for promoting the national vel
fare. When he visits the Hague he regu
larly attends the sittings Of the Council
Of State, and investigates the condition
of every great branch Of public service.

Thanksgiving.

Many of our readers-and they need
not be very old-can rccollect when
THANKSGIVING day was an exclusively
New England holiday, and in which the
others of the older States did not par
ticipate As New Englanders migrated
westward, and helped to found new
States, they carried with them their
usage of annually observing day OF
thanksgiving, it is thus that the custom
has spread to other States, until now,
having been confirmed by the action of
recent presidents, Thanksgiving has be-
come no longer partial, but a national
holiday. 1t is we'll that this, originally
a farmers holiday, has general observ-
ance. 1t is most fitting that the farmers
of this broad land should, on one day in
the year, gather in their scattered child
rem, and in one of the holiest of temples
home give thanks for that upon
which the prosperity of the nation rests
the abundant harvest. 1t is pleasant
to think upon Thanksgiving day in its
higher aspects, but not the less so in
its associations and its minor influences.
Being emphatically a home holiday, it
more than all others affects the homes
of the land, not less the homes in towns
long before the day is at hand the
thought that Thanksgiving is coming" "
controls the movements in households
everywhere. The home that is not upon
| the farm is none the less to observe the
day; it, too, is to have its e feast of fat
things" and the city housekeeper looks
to her sister in the country for fatted
turkey "wherewith to make merry"
A large share OF the demand for the tur-
key, the bird that has become so essen
tial to the thanksgiving feast, is sup
piled by those farmers whose flocks
number hundreds; but aside from these,
the turkey plays an important part on
many small farms, and the bird, besides
furnishing forth" the material fol
many home feast, is in itself cause
for grateful thanks. Many mother, tC
help the family purse; many a daughter
in pride at being independent of hel
fathers hard earnings, to meet her per-
sonal wants, looks to her flock of tur
keys; and as Thanksgiving draws nigh
she counts and feeds her flock witt
pleasant anticipation of the day in which
the hopes of many days will be consum
mated. Blessed be the observance which
touches so nearly so many human hearts
Blessed be the day which brings JOY tt
So many homes-which, to the wanderer
wherever he may be, turns his thought
towards home. And when has tn
American farmer had greater occasion
on Thanksgiving day than now to say
"Ohi give thanks unto the Lord, for Ill
is good and his mercy endureth for
ever,-AmerscGa Ag1'tcatturtSt.
