They Know, You Know.

Yesterday a Woodward avenue
grocer selected roll of the choicest
butter in market, and placed it at
his door with the sign: Please
taste" Along came a citizen in about
two minutes, and after carefully ex-
amining the roll he put bit of it in
his mouth and spat it out in great
disgust, and said;
Il can give you my opinion OF
that miserable stuff in a York sec
ondl You may fool some folks on
oleomargarine, but l can tell it a
block away"
'Then you don't like it?"
'Likel Why, a pound of that
would kill a man!'
The second man lifted up the
roll, smelled all around it, and fin
ally put crumb into his mouth.
Pretty fair article, isn't it?" que
ried the grocer.
"Well, yes, though there's a trihe
too much lard it. Not going to
keep it for sale, are you?"
"Oh, no."
~ wouldn't either, Faugh. How
that lardy taste sticks to my tonguel'
In the course of an hour seven wor-
thy citizens of acknowledged taste
sampled the butter and turned
from it in disgust. At one time two
men almost came to blows because
one called it butterine, and the 9TH
er knew it was oleomargarine.
When the fun began to grow monot,
onous the sign was changed to:
'New arrival of gilt edged and
the first man who tasted ordered
ten pounds to be sent home right
off.

Of Course Not.

"Do you know a person named
John Fairchild?" inquired a citizen
of another as they met on i.aTned
street the other day.
John Fairchild9 No, never
heard of him.
"Such a person called on me yes
terday and said be was an old friend
of yours"

Lincoln and Father Blair.

Respect and reverence for old ag,
was one of Liucoln's marked charac
terlstics, as was strikingly shown il
an incident which occurred on tn,
route from Springfield, ILL.,, to Wash
ington before the ceremonial of bis
first Inauguration.
The sullen roar of civil war was
heard in the distance, and a spirit o
apprehension and doubt possessed
all grades of society, as was made
manifest in the vast crowds that as
sembled everywhere along the line
to either greet the President with
enthusiastic cheers, or mutter mad
threats OF denunciation and death.
In the progress of the journey the
party had reached one of the larger
cities OF Southern Indiana, and Lin,
coin, while standing on the platform
of the car, discovered an old white
haired man, whose form at one time
had been OF herculean proportions,
but then bent and feeble, vainly
making an effort to approach him.
1t mattered not to Lincoln that his
audience were spell-bound with the
weight of his argument and thrilled
with the appeal made to their patri-
otism and loyalty. For as if alone
before him stood the veteran of al
most century Father Blair, chal-
lenging his assistance and sympa-
thy, SO with a few neatly turned apd
appropriate words, he descended,
passed rapidly through the throng,
and placing the old mans arm with
in his own, retraced his steps to his
former position.
BY this time a hush of perfect 81
lence had fallen. Every eye was
fixed and every ear bent to catch
the first of that tremulous
voice. But soon the tones grew
stronger, as with the fervor and ear
nestness of his earlier manhood years
he exclaimed:
Abraham Lincoln, | desire to
commend you and my beloved coun-
try to the God of nations and Of
battles. Then, like Simeon of old,
| shall be ready to say: Now let
test thou thy servant depart in
peace ~
With this Lincoln dropped his
head like child at his mothers
knee. And with one hand resting
on the bowed head before him and
the ether extended heavenward, the
old man called upon the God of
Isaac, of Jacob and of Abraham to
preserve ard bless this man Abra-
ham Lincoln, that through him all
men may be made free, and our civil
rights and free institutions be estab-
lished forever.
As the last amen and amen was
uttered, Lincoln arose from his
kneeling position and with kind,
solicitous care took leave of the pa
triarch, who likewJacob of old was
now ready to be gathered to his
fathers. The scene was touching
one; eyes unused to weeping were
wet with tears, and not only one
heart but many went out in bene-
diction upon the great statesman
who fingered by the wayside for an
old mans blessing.

Not long ago n woman at Mason
county, H., 10 all appearance died.
She had been unwell, Jut her death
was sudden and unexpected. The
body was kept till the next day,
about ? p. m, when it was enclosed
ia coffin and taken to thc grave
yard, followed by q great many
mOurufui friends IN laying her
ont her arms were tied together
above the elbows with = strip Of
cloth, so that her hands would re-
tain position across her breast. At
the grave some OF her friends wish
cdt o view her remains and the coz
fin was opened that they might DO
so. On removing the lid over the
glass they covl not see through the
moisture or It, and il was then seen
that one OF her hands had been torn
loose from the band and was lying
By her side, and her arms were as
timber - OF one alive. The ciTcum-
stances bore upon the minds Of
several persons present, but still
they could not entertain any notion
but that she was dead. Her hands
were again placed in position and
retied with the same strip of cloth,
and she was buried. After return
ing TO their homes several of the
parties who had noticed the singu-
lar appearance Of the corpse com
menced TO talk it over, and they
soon raised a doubt in their minds
that she was not dead. About ;
o'clock the same evening several
went to the grave and took up the
body. On opening the coffin they
found fresh moisture on the glass
of the coffin lid and her hands
were again broken from the strip Of
cloth that bound them, and they
were lying at her side, and, instead
Of her limbs being in the least rigid
they and her fingers We're flexible.
Notwithstanding all this they could
not convince themselves but that
she was dead, and she was reburied.
The matter was generally discussed
in the neighborhood, and by tie
following Sunday the excitement
had grown so intense that it was de-
cided to rc-exhume her the next
dag. The next day, Monday, after
she had slept beneath the sod for
four days and nights she was again
resurrected and taken to her home,
where she has been slowly but grad
ually improving. Her friends en-
terrain the strongest hopes for her
recovery, which, If she does, viii be
a remarkable occurrence, long to be
remembered by the people Of Sni-
carte. The way in which this af-
fair was managed was, to say the
least, very singular.
