Two of LlncoIn,s Letters.

Letters of Mr.. Lincoln, as most col
lectors of such relics have good reason
to know, are not very abundant or
easily obtained Those written by him
in early life were not always preserved,
his correspondents never imagining
then how eagerly they would be sought
after, and those he wrote while presi-
dent were generally too highly priced
by their recipients, especially since his
death to be easily parted with. The
two following letters were written while
he was in congress to his law partner,
the Hon. William III. Herndon. One
of the letters was the subject of a
strange disappearance and a fruitless
search for two or three years, when it
suddenly turned up in some mysterious
manner never satisfactorily explained.
1t is characteristic specimen of
Mr.. Lincoln's jocular style when a
young man of not quite 40. The
second letter is in different vein, and
is highly creditable to the writer's
magnanimity and kindness of heart:

A Fool and His Money.
New York Letter to indianapolis journal


Frank Isehn, one of the sclons of our
city aristocracy and leaders of society,
said to his sister in the parlor one eve
ming last week, Fanny, I've spent all
my money" Surprising he meant he
needed to go to the bank, she offered to
lend him some, when he calmly ex-
planned that he was penniless- that he
had spent the fortune that he had in
herited. He was supposed to be worth
800 900 or 100000 at least, and was
regarded as the catch of the city. He
has no family and no expensive vices
does not gamble or drink-and his
money has gone for carriages, polo
ponies, opera and such trifes. Among
his unpaid bills is one of 5000 for
"banquets p Perhaps now he viii be

AN APPALLING ACCIDENT.
A Family on the Way to Louisville
Overtakcn by Forest Fire and
Three Persons Burned to Death.

A Little Rock special says Isaac N.
Dement,, who left West Virginia last
February for Louisiana, and who has
been spending a few weeks in this state,
has arrived here and gives the follow
ing account of an appalling accident by
which he lost his wife and two children
and barely escaped with his own life.
He had teams and wagons, and had en-
camped on the mountains in Stone
county for week or two of recreation
While there, and while he and two
Of his boys were at the foot of the
mountains fishing, fire which
had been burning in the woods south
of his camp, suddenly spread to an
adjacent forest, encircled the camp,
and before he could reach the spot and
render assistance it swept over their
place, burning Mrs. Dement, and two
children to death and destroying one
team and all his household effects.
When Dement, first noticed the fire he
sent his two boys further down the
mountain to place of safety and started
up toward the camp himself, but failed
to reach it in time to rescue his wife
and children. In rejoining his surviv-
ing children he was forced to pass
through line of flames, and in doing
so was badly burned.

Labor Saving.

The demand of the people for an
easy method OF preparing Kidney
Wort has induced the proprietors. the
well known wholesale druggists, Wells,
Richardson 4 Co., of Burlington, Vt,
to prepare it for sale in liquid form as
well as in dry form. 1t saves all the
labor of preparing, and as it is equally
efficient it is preferred by many per-
sons. Kidney-Wort always and every
where proves itself perfect remedy.
