thirty square miles, which q few years

for civil service reform. through the

OF the present administration, but in

He does not believe In the csntraliza-
ton OF power in the shape OF . "'strong

home rule and States rights, especially
in the matter and manner OF conducting
elections. He wants those little ar.
ranssmsnts carefully let alone and not

and argues that the machinery OF .

can be used to perpstuats the same set
OF men In power from term to term until
IL ceases to be o Republic. or 10 such

Gloves IN Early=Times.

The manufacture of gloves has been
an important trade in France from early
times. In 100, or thereabouts, Charlie
magne granted an unlimited right to
the Abbot and monks of Sithin to make
gloves from the skins of the deer they
Killed. The Council of Ak, 829, pro
hibited the inferior clergy from wear
ing atiJtLiine but sheepskin gloves.
Before this the fathers Of the church
had inveighed against the practice "
Rleve-Wearing as effeminate. The glOv-
efs of Paris constitute a considerable
GSmtdunitg, having statutes and laws
dating back tB 1150, which were CON
firmed, added to and renewed by L0His
XIY.in 1856. The word glove bsiBgof
Anglo-SaxOn origin-Prof. Skeat says
it is referred t9 in the poem of Beo-
wulf," under the fiafhe Cf /" glof lit is
conjectured by some that the SsEons
introduced the trade of glove-making
into England, Gloves do not appear to
have been worh here bgf0re the end of
the tenth or the begihhihg of the
eleventh century, and at that time they
were OF stecial German manufacture;
as five pairs of gloves formed no small
part OF the duty pald TO GbheHeu II
by O society of German merchants for
the protection of their trade in this
country, which Strut observes was
proof OF their great rarity, and conse
quent limitation to the most exalted
persOnages, Gloves were not generally
worn in England until the fourteenth
century, when they became popular
with the better classes, who carried
them in their hands, according to Fair

Aiming in Archery.

The first principle of aiming is to be
sure to have the arrow, In dtawlng, dl-
rectly In the line of vision of that eye
as it looks at the point of aim. 10 do
this perfectly, observe the following dl-
rections: En@ Tr"..." .. - ..
l. Take position, and knock the ar
row as heretofore described
9 Raise the bow with the left hand
drawing back the string with the right
hand as the bow is lifted.
8. When the left hand has reached the
due elevation for the shot, take aim with
the right eye (without closing the lcft)
over the point of the arrow.
4. The aim being thus taken, finish
the draw by bringing the right hand to
a point just below the chin, and there
loose. sd. .s.Hr..
If the above rules are strictly followed
and the arrow, from the fixing of the
aim to the point of lopsing, has beeh all
the time kept tind6r the right eye, the
shot will be in the direct line of vision
of that eye.
In following this practice of aiming
the upper limb of the bow must be
slanted to the right sufficiently to carry
the bow-string entirely out of the YER
tical plane of vision of the right eve,
otherwise two troubles will arise. In
the first place, the string will be between
the eve and the arrow; and secondly,
the string will touch the chin before the
draw is finished to the l0osing point.
When the bow is slanted to the right
the arrow can lie directly under the eye,
while the string is drawn to the lOOsIng
point under the chin, and when let go,
the arrow will fly directly away before
the eve in a perfect line.
Before a beginner in archery can sue
cessfully practice aiming on correct prin-
c;ples, he must fully understand the laws
of vision connected Herewith. BY fix
ing the eye steadily upon some distant
point. 1t will be discovered that this par
ticular point is seen by direct vision, and
all others by indirect vision. Now, in
aiming, the direct vision is fixed upon
the poiat of aim, and the pile of the ar
row is made to cover this pointj but the
gold of the target and the entire length
of the arrow are seen by the indirect
vision. except when the gold, as in point.
blank shooting, is also the point of aim.
The first thing, then to master, IS per-
feet control of the vision OF the right
eve.s To do this, some archers are com
pelled to, close the left eye, very III aP-
nearing thing indeed, which should by
all means be avoided. To test your Wis
ion take an arrow by the feather end
| and hold it in your right hand pointing
| it at some distant object, keeping both
ewes open. When the point of the ar
row, ems to cover the object close Fhe
left eve. If then the object is still COW
rered, you are aiming with your riglhll
eve Aiittle practice in this way vii
perfect your vision so that y'u can ain
with your right eye and at the same tlmf
keep the left one open.-FrOna Aa'"tc'

Lincoln and Stanton.

In December, 1861, Mr.. Lincoln was
talking with Secretary Chase about
the action of our Government in the
Trent affair. The President was ask
ing if the Secretary had heard of any
opinions as to the Governments course
by prominent Democrats, when Mr..
Chase said he unde, stood Mr.. Stanton,
who was then in Washington, shared
the opinion of the President and up
held the Governments course. I'D I'D
The President then asked Mr.. Chase
if he had ever heard how Mr.. Stanton
had abused him--the Prasident-in the
Mccormick case at Cincinnati. MIR.
Chase replied that he had not, and the
President told how Mr.. Stanton, being
retained on the same side as Mr.. Lin
coin, declined to consult with him, say
ing he would nave nothing to do with
the "long-legged and long armed ape.
But" said the President, as he con-
cluded the story, "ten MIR. Stanton 1
would like to see him. ass.fssf. y
Within a few evening, Mr.. Stanton
called at the White House. The Pres
dent told, him he had heard that his
visitor was upholding the legality and
policy of the Governments course Mr..
Stanton replied at some length. giving
his reasons for the oplnion3he held.
The President asked him if The would
commit it to writing Stanton prom-
ised he would, and this interview ended
without any other subject than the
Trent affair being alluded to during the
whole of the evening. taaA - u
It was within one or two evenings
afterward that Mr.. Stanton called with
the manuscript of his opinion as re-
quested. As he handed il TO the Presi-
dent, the latter said !: MFR. Stanton,
there is about to be change In my
Cabinet. Will you take the place OF
Secretary of War 2" Mr.. Stanton was
much surprised, but, before he left that
evening, he had accepted the position,
and during the next month, January,
1862, went into the Office. Washing
