Another Story Of Lincoln.

While Judge Logan, of Springfield, Ill,
was Lincoln's partner, two farmers who
had a misunderstanding respecting a
horse trade went to law. BY mutual con-
sent the partners in law became antago-
nists in this case. On the day of the trial
Mr.. Logan, having bought new shirt
omen in the back, with huge standing
collar. dressed himself in extreme haste
and put on the shirt with the bosom at
the back, a coat concealing the bfunder, he
dazzled the jury with his knowledge OF
"horse points" and as the day was sultry
took off his coat and summed up his SHIRT
sleeves.
Lincoln, sitting behind him, took in the
situation, and when his turn came remark
ed to the jury: "Gentlemen, MIR. Logan
has been irving for over an hour to make
you believe that he knows more about a
horse than these honest old farmers who
are witnesses; he has quoted largely from
his horse DOCTOR and now, gentlemen, l
submit to you (here he lifted Lagon 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
on his horse knowledge when he has not
sense enough to put on his shirt" The
roars of laughter that greeted this exhibit
ton, and the verdict that Lincoln got soon
after, gave Logan a permanent prejudice
against "bosom shirts"

The present age, according to MIR. w.
H. Mallock, is one to which history can
show no parallel. "All the old blaze of
wonder is melting away from it; and the
old local enthusiasm, which depended so
largely on ignorance and isolation, are
melting likewise.
knowledge has accumulated in way
never before dreamed of. The fountains
Of the past seem TO have been broken up,
and to be pouring all their secrets into the
consciousness of the present, For the
first time mans wide and varied history
has become coherent whole to him.
Partly a, cause and partly a result OF
this, new sense has sprung up in him
an intense self.consciousness as to his
own position; and his entire view Of him
self is undergoing vague change; while
the positiye basis upon which the knowl,
edge has been placed has given 1t con
slant andtcoersive force, and has made
the change common to the whole civil
lied world. 1t is impossible to conceive
that this awakening, this discovery b,
man OF himself, viii not be the begin
ming OF BIS decadence; that it will not b.
the d'f5covery on his part that he is less
er and lower thing than he thought n,
was, and that his condition will not SIM
until it tallies With his own opinion OF it.

Never send an article for publication
without giving the editor thy name, for
thy name oftentimes secures publication
to worthless articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door of
printing Office; for he that answereth the
rap sneeretll in his sleeve and loseth
time.
Never do thou loaf about, nor knock
down type, or the boys will love thee as
they do the shade trees-when thou
leavest. ..=.
Thou shouldst never read the copy on
the printers cases or the sharp and hooked
container thereof, or he may knock thee
down.
Never inquire of the editor for the news,
for behold it is his business to give it to
thee at the appointed time without asking
for it. e.
1t is not right to ask him who is the
author of an article, for it is his duty to
keep such things unto himself.
When thou dost enter his Office, take
heed unto thysef that thou dost not look
at what concerns thee not, for that is not
meet in the sight OF good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof-sheet,
for it is not ready to meet thine eye that
thou mayest understand.
Thou shouldstt rot delude thyself with
the thought that thou hast saved few

Women's Growing Independence of Men.
GBoston Transcript


Perhaps it is because of the growing
scarcity of available men, perhaps it is
because of the increasing independence
of the fair sex-whatever the reason, it
is fact patent to all that the number
who frequent places of amusements in
the evening without male escorts is far
greater than it was ten years ago, and it
is greatly to the credit Of our city that
they can do so with impunity.
A short time ago lady would have
hardly thought best to venture out with
out male attendant, but now if accom-
panied by one of her sex, especially by
one tolerably along in years-it is not
necessary to give exact ages-both feel
comparatively safe. The result is that
young men are not quite as much of ne
cessitv as they once were, and are made
to feel that they are no longer indispensi-
BILE.
Time was when young man. simply
because he was man, was permitted to
feel that he was a very important crea-
ture, but now that male escort can with
propriety be dispensed with, he has been
made to descend from his high horse. He
was wont to impose his cheap "horse talk
and slang on his lady friends, and was
permitted to parade his conceit and igno
rance simply because he was necessary
evil; but times have changed all that and
he now often finds that unless he car

character or his gentlemanly department.
his room is considered more desirable
than his company. All of which is hav
ing an excellent effect upon the averag.
young man of the period.

A Word 30 Young Men.

Marry. Do it for forty good reasons.
Have something to live for; keep your
selves out of scrapes. Don't live fusty,
musty old bachelors. 1t is bad for your
health, worse for your morals, and worse
for your beauty, Marry just as soon as
YOU can make it convenient, and hurry
all your matters into marital shape. But
when you marry, don't mistake the face
for the woman, or cash for character
Common sense is rare virtue; better
than greenbacks Or gold or fashion.
There are hundreds of just the right
kind of girls here waiting for you. Don't
pass by sound, practical sense in wom-
an, which is the touchstone to try her
other qualities by, and become fascinated
with and finally marry silk and crinoline
and greenbacks, in profusion. Secure
strong, practical sense. When you have
that, all else will come. If your wife has
intellect, she will grow to your way of
thinking and make you grow to hers. A
wife of this character, with womanly love
in her heart, will find ways to make your
love toward her grow as the years grow
over both But those women of strong
common sense are never found where
fashion insists upon dragging young fe-
males, into whirl, where there is simply
idle gossip and little brain.
. We know a dozen young men who
stand looking after one young lady with
distinguished air and the reputation of a
belle, and whose father has piles of mon
ev While they are straining their eyes
that way the pile of cash may tumble or
some gugah from the East will snatch
away the gilded toy, And all this time
each has turned his back upon an unob-
trusive title damsel who was cut out by
nature to be his other half, and who is
Just that pleasant-faced placid d-tempered,
lovable little creature who thinks enough
of him to go with him to the end of the
world and stand by and comfort him
when he becomes grey-haired, feeble and
fgety.
Young man, marry ! Single in the
world you are but half man, and the
world to-day wants whole men. Patch
up the other half and be happy. From
this day resolve no longer to be sol
itary, moody, beer drinking, pipe-smok
ing bachelor, of no account to yourself
and worse than useless to your friends
and the community at large.

Censlre.

This world is full OF harshness. 1t is

mer is a qualification Of our self-esteem,
while to praise seems, with minds too
ambitious and ungenerous, tacit admis-
sion of others superiority. tbs bane of
society wherever have known it, per-
petual seeking for something which will
dsparage or make ridiculous our neigh
bors.
Their conduct is canvassed, and mean
and selfish motives are attributed to them.
Their toibles are dragged into day. | do
not boast myself to be free from blame
on this account and yet try to find
what is good and beautiful in all that l
see, and to judge my fellow-creatures as
l would have them judge me. There is
verse in Pope's "Uniyersal Prayer
which is full of beauty. wish it was
craven on tablets in all our churches.

so trite: n
"Teach me to feel another's woe,
To hide the fault see

Neglect Of the Eye
THarner,S Monthlvl


Whatever an ounce of prevention may
be to other members of the body, it
certainly is worth many pounds of cure
to the eve. Like chronometer watch,
the delicate organ will stand any amount
of use, not to say abuse, but when once
thrown off its balance 1t very rarely can
be brought back to its original perfection
of action, or, if it is, 1t becomes ever
after liable to return of disability of
function or the seat of actual disease One
would have supposed from this fact, and
from the fact that modern civilization has
imposed upon the eve an ever-increasing
amount of strain, both to the actual guam
tity of work done and the constantly in
creasing brilliancy and, duration of the
illumination under which IL is performed,
that the greatest pains would have been
exercised in maintaining the organ in a
condition of health, and the greatest care
and solicitude used in its treatment when
diseased. And yet it is safe to say that
there is no organ in the body the welfare
of which is so persistently neglected as
the eve.

take their children of a and S years of age
to have their first teeth filled, instead of
having them extracted, so that the jaw
might not suffer in its due development,
and become in latter years contracted,
while the eye, the most intellectual, the
most apprehensive, and the most discrim-
mating of all our organs, receives not
even passing thought, much less an ex-
animation. 1t never seems to occur to the
parents that the principal agent in child's
education is the eye; that through it it
gains not only its sense of the methods
and ways of existence of others, but even
the means for the maintenance of its
own; nor does it occur to the parent for
an instant that many of the mental as

created, by no condition Of the eve alone

vous force sufficient after time not onl,

Workers in Deep Mines,
Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise.1

lFHSliid lily kNeF'J i'"tsi PAA'S'j
Not many men who see the miners of
Savage lifted out at the top of the shaft
at change of shift have the courage to
descend into the lower regions of that
mine. Very few even of the old residents
of the Comstock would care to descend
into the steaming regions below, and not
one Eastern man in thousand could be
induced to make the trip after seeing the
men popped out at the top of the shaft,
steamins as though just lifted out of a
caldron OF boiling water. Though they
are shirtless-naked as at birth from the
waist up--and wear only cotton overalls,
they are dripping as if but moment out
of pond of water; yet this is from steam
and perspiration. In all this great heat
men work. The wonder is that they are
able to do anything but gasp and pant :
| 1t is place better fitted for salamanders
than for men. At the head of the main
incline it is as hot as in the hottest vapor
bath at Steamboat Springs. One would
think that men much in such place
would be secure against the rheumatism
On making inquiries in this regard of an
underground foreman, he said he never
knew any of the men working below tc
have the rheumatism. Some Of our suf.
ferers from this disease might try this
cure-might procure themselves to be
lowered into the depths of the mine
there to sit and steam through one shir
per day. But for the immense quantitie:
of ice water thev drink the men coule
not endure the great heat in which they
are placed or the floods of perspiratior
pumped from their pores. They swallow
gallons on gallons Of it, and it never hurt
them in the least.

THE SILVER QUESTION IN ENG
LAND AND GERMANY.

The attention of our readers is
specially directed to an interview
between Prince Bismarck and an
American gentleman given in an
other column, The Prince Chancel-
lor is there seen to admit that the
decentralization of silver by Ger
many was a mistake, and that a
reversal of the policy of the Imperial
Government is not improbable.
Soon after the publication of this
interview, Mr.. Evarts. the U. &,
Secretary of State caused it to be
made known that the German I'M
perial Government had iptimated
its willingness to treat with the
Government of the United States
for a concerted action in reference
to the monetary use of silver. Since
this, however, the German Minister
of Finance has published a state
ment that nobody has been author
lied to announce change Of the
Imperial policy in reference to sill
yer.
In England also the silver ques-
ton is becoming urgent. The de-
probation of silver had produced
ruinous effects in India, where two
successive years of famine, followed
up by the Afghan war, had been
added to the depreciation of that
metal which constitutes the sole
currency In Asia, and thus the once
wealthy colony has been reduced
almost to hamilton. The depression
of business, the falling-Of in both
crops and prices and the consequent
shrinking of rents in England itself
have contributed to the same reac-
ton, and now where the very whis-
per of Il double standard was deemed
heFesy q year ago, solid business
men and conservative members of
Parliament are seriously mQoting
the question Of return to the double
standard abandoned more than sixty
years ago.
The business of the world cannot
long be conducted on the gold basis
alone, and this country by its recent
silver legislation is admirably stu
ated for availing herself of whatever
changes may take place in the mon
etary relations of the various ma
tions. Changes of some sort are
evidently close at hand.
