REMINISENCE OF LINCOLN.
Tbe Run From indianapolis to Cinciuna
. - = -. Twenty Years Ago.

A"euty 1edTS ago.
Ex-senator a. G. Lord, of Riverside,
was in Cincinnati Tuesday morning for the
purpose of having some spots of mildew
erased from an old eard-siZed steel engay-
ing of Lincoln's that bore the familiar auto
graph ga. Lincoln" below the engraving
The autograph being in pencil, it suggest
edto commercial reporter that the picture
might have a history
ut has history" said ex- Senator Lord.
"It is memento of a very memorable oc-
casion. When Lincoln was on his way to
to Washington for his Inauguration in 1861,
I, as president of the I. C. & L. road, had
q special train to carry him from Indian
apolis to Cincinnati. Committees of the
city councila and other bodies went up to In
ward car Of the train to Lincoln. and took
extra precaution to protect him, by having
the road clear and six armed guards placed
on the train. Lincoln expressed a desire
to be alone, and an unwillingness to see
q: ybody, or ever to appear on the platform.
I accordingly allowed no one to enter, and
be, my wife and myself occupied the car
alone. He sat in the forward part, my wife
and sat some distance in the rear. l
don't suppose spoke to him three times
on the trip, and then merely to ask him if
could be of any service to him. We did
not want to disturb him. He appeared
careworn, sad, and sat silently all the way,
apparently in deep thought, with his elbow
over the back of the seat and his face bur-
led in his hand, occasionally changing from
the right to the left hand. We made a
very rapid run. AS we approached Cinein-
natl, Mr.. Lincoln opened valise so old
and worn that it looked as though he had
carried it in his fatboat days, and taking
this picture from it, drew his pencil aud
wrote his name as you see, and presented
it to my wife. 1 said. Mr.. Lincoln,
didn't vote for you, and I'm sorry for it.
''Yes, said Mr. Lord, as he covered the
picture again, II prize the picture very
highly.
"a curious little coincidence occurred
the other day in connection with that trip,
he concluded. "At meeting of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
fine body of men they are, too-one of the
members came up to me and said, MIR.
Lord, don't suppose you remember me?'
I could not recall him at the time, and
told him so, when he said, I an the en-
gineer that ran your train when you took
Lincoln from Indianapolis on his way to
the inaug iration twenty years ago." Yes,
said another, and Mr.. Lord, I'm the en-
gineer that took him back dead It's
curious how these coincidents sometimes
| crowd upon each other" said the genial
old gentleman, as the reporter took his
| leave .y.

KEPoRTs from the bureau of statistics
shows that the commerce of the country for
the past eleven morths was in a highly
prosperous condition. The excess of the
value Of exports over that of our imports Of
merchandise for the period mentioned,
amounted to 1856, l5G,125 as against an ex-
cess for the corresponding period of the
preceding year amounting to only 1885,
06G, III. The largest excess in the value of
the exports over the imports of merchan-
disc, with respect to fiscal years, was for
the year ended June 80, 1879, when it
amounted to 1864 ,G61 666, or only 50, sos, :
SAL in excess of the amount given for the
eleven months ending May 81 1t is quite
possible, therefore, that in view of the
present condition of trade the balance in
our favor during the current fiscal year
ending June 31st will be larger than ever
before in the history of our country.

that he didn't have to 90 without his
Thanksgiving breakfast on account of her
ignorance an shiftlessness.
How did you know about the pie?" ask
ed one Of the girls.
Miss Patience btistled defantly. That's
nobody's businass but my owh, she retort-
ed, tartly. II don't 60 round TO find out
things that don't concern me, I'd have you
know, but when they're thrown right in my
face, as you might say, don't shet my eyes

Just here the door opened, and in walked
the subject Of their conversation, her pref
ty face glowing With the haste that she had
made, and mischietous twinkle in her
brown eyes that nobody noticed, go occu-
pied were they in hiding the confusion
that her sudden entrance had created.
Walking to the table where most or the
ladies were sitting she saluted them cor
daily; and then holding out the tip of her
slender finger q weiI-worn silver thimble,
she said archly-
Where do you think found the thimble,
Miss Paience?"
b: So pleased was Miss Patience to regain
her lost treasure that she forgot for mo-
Iovfth5 ri VI Aan4i.-.nd dionitr and exclaimed
:. well, I declare, am glad to see thai
.thimble once more! told Mary Jane that
felt sure I had it on my finger when run
into your house Thanksgiven' mornin' arter
that yeast. But when got home, it want
nowhere to be found. Now where did you

Her shrill, high voice had attracted the
attention of all in the room, and everybody
looked up curiously as the ministers wife
replied, with an innocent smile.
"In the chicken pie that our good friend
hore"-and she nodded brightly to Mrs.
Farrell-sent t1e. I left the pie on the
dresser when L went down cellar af er
your yeast, and as soon as 1 camG back I
put it on the table, and when my husband
cut it there was your thimble in it. How
could it have got there? 1t was certainly
very mysterious anyway.
Silence, dead, profound, yet, oh. how
terribly significant to the deacon's wife and
her spinster neighbor, fell upon the group.
This was apperantly ttnnoticed by Mrs.
Graham, who, with playful adlnonition to
Miss Patience to take better. care of her
thimble in future, began an animated con-
versation with the ladies nearest her, that
soon restoredthe company to their wonted
ease and good humor.
But poor Miss Patience! she never heard
the last of her thimble' While the deacon's
wife, to the day of her death, never trusted
any hands but her own to make Thanks
giving pies for her minister.

The Presidents ROy
From the Hartford Times.

tTOm the
Master Irwin Garfield, who is lad about
eleven years of age and next to the young
est of the presidents sons, is immense, it
matters not in what way he is looked at.
He isn't in any sense what is called bad
boy, though full of life. He can't bear the
idea of being Gagged up, as it were, in the
upper rooms of the mansion, and insists
on coming down stairs to see the folks that
call. He would much rather go out into
the streets and have game of base ball
but this is not allowed.
As soon as his private tutor leaves, gen.
orally by eleven o'clock in the day, Master
Irwin puts in an appearance In the public
part of the mansion. He is not still q
minute from that time until he is forced
into his little bed at night.
As n bicycle rider he is a great success.
Not being allowed to take the machine out
on the concrete streets, as other boys are,
and ride to his hearts content, he manages
to get his bicycle riding in the house, and
can be seen any day flying about the east
room or the tilted main hall. He claims the
right of way in al cases and if people don't
grant it willingly, he asserts himself by rid
ing right through them, regardless of the
consequences.
A c0Aple of weeks since he made up his
mind that he could walk on the top of an
iron rail fence with the skill of the most ac-
complished tight-rope walker He tried It
and failed. When he was picked up it was
found that he had given his ankle severe
twist. Three days in bed was the punish
ment for his effort, being unable during that
time to walk, even if he wanted to.
AS soon as he was able to get about he
did so, Notwithstanding DR.. Boynton's or
ders to the contrary; and though unable to
walk for q couple of days more, he crawled
about the floor. His next enterprise was to
contract with carpenter who happened to
pass the house, by talking from an upper
window, to make him o pair of crutches so
he could get about more readily. The
crutches came, but he was not allowed to
use them. A day or so after he was able
to get about as well almost as ever, though
the swelling has not left his ankle yet.
Doing some fancy riding on his bicycle,
he attempted to ride out the front door and
out on to the p oruco and down flight of
stone steps into the crive in front. He failed
again; and though in this case he escaped
injury himself, the bicycle met with Sc
we're injury. the trout wheel being broken
and the handle broken off. To-day he could
be seen flying about the east room on the
machine minus handle ano one or more
spokes in the wheel.
He kicked up big sensation several days
since by trying to pull out his teeth with
shoe hook, and actually had pulled out one
tooth before he was discovered.

THE MINISTER'S STORY.
Look here, Sally!"

Look here, Sallyp'
Mrs. Deacon Farrell brushed he flourfrom
her hands, casting meanwhile a complac-
ent eye over the well filled kitchen table,
with its generous arrays of unbaked pies
and cakes, the plump turkey stuffed and
trussed ready for the morrow's baking,
and the big chicken pie, to which her fin
gers bad put the finishing touches, as she
repeated more decidedly:
Look here, Sally! There's enough
chicken left with the eiblets-tha never
put in my own pie, because the deacon
don't relish 'em-ter make q thanksgiving
pie for the minister's folks. 'Twon't
need ter bevery large" she added, in re-
ply to Sally's doubtful look Only the
minister and his wife-and you can bake it
in that smallest yaller dish.

them rags, an you make it an bake it right

con. He's got ter go out ter the corner this
afternoon. and can take it along as well as
not.

next moment, seized perhaps with sudden
pang OF compunction, she put her head in
again, to say warningly:

THE latest thing in the Bible revision

Philadelphia of Bible for Baptists. In a
series of interviews with noted clergymen
it scenes to be settled that the Baptist pub

views of that denomination than any other
extent. Probably other denominations, in
the course of time, will see the necessity of
doing the same thing.
