MANY newspapers recently have sated
that the widow of Abraham Lincoln was
living in poverty aud had been scurvily
treated by congress. Immediately after the
assassination law was passed giving her
year of her husbands salary, $25, 900.
Afterwards an act was passed permitting
Mrs. Lincoln to have all letters sent to her
free OF postage, and her own correspond
ence was also franked. In 1870 law was
enacted giving the widow $4,000 a year
during her life. Lincoln, though not
wealthy, left considerable property at his
death, enough to maintain his family in
modest manner of life.

FIRES AND OTHER GAS ALTIEs.

The Catholic college at Therez, Providence
twenty-five miles from Montreal, was burned.
Loss, 1886, 900; well insured ..
At Bristol, N. H., shock of earthquake

west to east, making noise like the rumbling

perceptibIy.
The fall floods seem to be near another
alarming crisis. The rise from the Wisconsin.
Black, Chippewa and Eau Claire rivers has
reached Prairie Gu Chen, and the water is a
foot higher than at the spring flood. Mills
have shut down and are surrounded with wa
ter. The high water has subsided on all the
upper tributaries except the Minnesota, which is
spreading all over the flats near ST. Paul, and
must be doing great deal OF insiduous dam
age, though there is no such conspicuous SEN
sation as there was last spring.
Fire broke out in the business part of the
village of Pulaski N. Y, and several buildings
on both sides of Main street were burned The
entire business portion of the town is in ruins.
The loss is over 100000. The principal
losers are D. & J. N Belts, P. B. Clark, Sal

ten inches for the month This is more
than four times the average of the Sep
tember rainfall for the previous six years
and more than three times the average

1886 approximating the remarkable volume
of water which fell from the sky during
the month just past. All the lakes and

The late census developed Interesting
facts in regard to the freedmen. The Ia
bles are not complete, but in the states of
Alabama, Delaw are, Arkansas, Florida.
Georgia, and South Carolina, it is seen that
the large plantations are being gradually
broken up, and that freedmen are becom-
ing tenant farmers. The rate of increase
10 the number of farms was in South Caro-
lima nearly eight times, in Georgia nearly
five times, and in Alabama considerably
over three times as great between 1870 and
1880 as it was between 1850 and 1860. In
Florida the rate of increase was 52.6 per
cent. between 1859 and 1860, and I2S.S per
cent. between 1870 and 1880. Of farms
rented for produce there is an aggregate in
the six states of 135, 1856, as against 1884
rented for fixed cash payments, while the
aggregate number of rented farms of both
classes is 213, 40, as against 2Sl, ,795 occu-
pied by the owners. Many of the freedmen
have acquired homesteads of their own but
the mass, of course, are obliged to become
tenant farmers, necessary, if not the best
probation for actual ownership.

Origin of a Familiar Quotation.

How familiar some quotations are, and
how little they lose apparently by our igno-
rance or forgetfulness of their source. For
example, how often one hears MY mind to

Epictetus was once visited by an orator, who
on his way to Rome called upon the stole TO
learn from him, as he said, his philosophy.
Epictetus doubted his sincerity. "You will
only criticise my style, said he, mot really
wishing to learn principles" well, but"
said the orator, "if I attend to that sort Of
thing, I shall be a mere pauper like you, with
no plate, nor epuipage,. nor land. II don't
want such things" said Eplctetus, "and be-
sides You are poorer than Iafterall. Patron

CURRENT EVENTS.

Eli Perkins involuntarily unbuckled his
champion belt when he read Senator Jones'
statement that himself and Conkling didn't
mention politics.
1t is stated that Mrs. Garfield has put an end
to the doctors dispute over the treatment of
the president by persuading DR.. Boyton not to
print any further statement upon the subject
Senator Jones makes a statement that Wall
street spectators need not look for any relief
president had agreed that it would be very bad
taste to pander to the initiation that had been
going on for many months past.
Leonard W. Jerome of New York has sold all
the fine horses in his racing stables. Most of
the horses so to Minnesota. Mr.. Kittson,
millionaire lumber merchant of st. Paul, bought
the best ones. It was reported during the sale
that Mr.. Kittson had spent $5OO,O0O for
horses, colts and fllies in the last few weeks to
send out to his farm.
Some excitement was caused at Cleveland
Wednesday night by report that Garfeld's re-
mains had been stolen from the vault. 1t was
subsequently learned that a carriage had been
seen leaving the cemetery about midnight, and
inquiry revealed the fact that friends Of the
family had been to the vault for the purpose
of changing the remains from the old to new

Col John H. Gibbon, Seventh infantry, will
go east from Fort Smelling in few days on
months leave of absence. He will be accom-
panied by his son, John Gibbon, Jr., who has
been rendered an appointment as cadet at the
West Point military academy by delegate Ma
ginnis of Montana. The colonel will place his
son In Col Simon's institute at Sing Sing, New
York, for little preparatory study, SO that he
may be ready to enter the academy next June.
Capt Kemble of the steamship Knicker-
booker, from Vera Cruz and Havana, reports
that during the night of the 9th L. Ferry Young
passenger, died. The deceased was a son the
late Brigham Young. He was very weak when
he came on board the Knickerbocker, and had
been unwell for some time. Although the best
of treatment was given him, he died the even
ing after the vessel left Havana. The remains
were buried at sea next day.
At Annapolis, on Sunday night the fourth
class of cadets, newly entered in the naval
academy were hazed numerically. Members OF
the third class were suspected, and when the
matter was investigated, refused to divulge
what they knew. Recently the whole class,
fifty members, was sent on board the Santee
They had to take bedding and other articles,
and will have to live on the ship until further
orders, not being allowed to speak to one an
other.
The attention Of the secretary Of the United
States alleged navy is called to the fact that
the Russian imperial yacht Livadia has been
condemned because its propensity to roll is too
great, and though not very violent yet of a
nature to continually expose the crew to the lia-
bility to suffer from sea-sickness; secondly, it's
rate of speed is comparatively slow; thirdly, it
is too weakly built; and, fourthly, the materials
used in its construction are of an inferior quail
ity. The Livadia should be purchased and
added to its peers of the United States navy.

What Constitutes a Good Physician.

from the spectator.
A man can hardly be a, good physician
without having considerable native share
of scientific ability; and he should also have
much of the artists sensibility to form,
color, and expressive motion. The physi-
clan, besides actual accomplishments which
he is likely enough to have quite outside
his vocation, is often the most agreeable
and we'll informed man of the world in his
very large circle. And everything con-
spires at present to compel or invite the
widening of his horizon. To be a really
gist This does not mean that if he finds
in case of insomnia no obvious cause for
the patients disorder he should ask the
unfortunate man if he has anything on his
conscience-embeZzlem for instance.
1t is we'll known that Lord Eldon, when
plain John Scott, eloped with the L. dy
whom he married, and that they were low
ers all their lives. While it was yet very
early days with them, young Mrs. Scott fell
i'll in a strange village, and the local prac-
titioner was sent for. Having, after the
usual routine, failed to make out what was
the matter with the beautiful lady, he said:
Il am afraid, ma'am, there is something on
your mind. You are not happy with youl
husband?" This was bad practice. Mrs.
Scott had much spirit and natural elo-
quence; and there was nothing the matter
with Mr.. Scott, who was both tall and ath-
Ietic; but the muse will not sing the dis
missal of that doctor. The anecdote only
illustrates, in passing, the sense IN which
the physician must not be psychologist.
