President Lincoln Tor her brother
life, She had brought Bennle's lettel
with her |, no good kind heart, like
the presidents could refuse TO be melt
cd by II.
Tho next morning they reached
New York the guard hurried her on
to Washington, Every minute now
might be tho saving Of her brothers
| life.
The president had just seated him
self 10 his evenings task, whom the
door softly opened, and Blossom,
with downcast eyes aud folded hands
stood before him,
swell my child" hc said in his
pleasant cheerful tone, "what do. you
want"
"Bennie's lie, please, sir" ialtered
Blossom.
"Bennie, who Is Bennic :
"My brother, sir, They are going
TO shoo, him for sleeping at bis post"
ooh yes | remember. 1t was a
fatal sleep. You see, child, 1t was a
time OF special danger. Thousands OF
lives might have been lost by his neg
ligencc.'
$50 my father said," replied Bios
som gravely. "But poor Blnn'e was
so tired, sir, AID Jimmie was so weak.
lie did the work Of two sir, and 1t
was Jimmics night, not his but jim
me was too tired, and Binn ie never
thought about himself, that he was
tired too"
"What is thu. you say, child ! Come
here, l do not understand" And the
kind man, as ever, caught eagerly
ut what seemed to be q justification OF
an offence.
Blossom wen, to him. lIo put his
hand tenderly on her shoulder, and
turned up the pale, anxious face tow
ards his. How tail he seemed. And
he was president of the United
States too. A dim thought passed
through little Blossoms mind; but
she told her straight forward story,
and handed Bennie's letter TO Mr..
Lincoln 10 read.
lie read it carefully; then, taking
up his pen, wore few hAsiy lines and
rang his bell. Blossom heard this
order given Send this dispatch a!

The president then turned to the
girl and said, $50 home my child, and
tell that father Of yours. who could
approve his country's sentence, even
when it took the life of u child like
that. that Abs aham Lincoln thinks the
life far too prc.'iou, to be lost. 20

ME will need . change after he has
faced death so bravely he shall &c
with you."
"God bless you, sir" Said BIOS
som.
Two days after this interview, the
young soldier came to the white house
with his little sister. He was called
into the presidents private room' anc
straps were fastened on his shoulders
Mr.. Lincoln said 1.-The soldier thai
could carry a sick comrades baggage
and die for tho net so uncomplalnlngl,
deserves well of his country
Then Bennie and Blossom took
their way to their green mountain
home. A crowd gathered at the rail
way station to welcome them back
and, as Farmer Owens hand grasped
that of his boy, tears flowed down his
cheeks, and he was heard to say, fer
vently, "The Lo.d be praised.

THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION "A
Washington special says: 1.-The com
mittee investigating the Treasury con.
tingent fund barely adjourned over
Christmas. A good deal of fragmentary
testimony has been taken, the value of
which will be better determined when
the whole evidence is in. 1t eau be
said that enough has already been adj
duced to show an extremely loose way
of dong business, and a great waste OF
public money in disbursements of the
contingent fund of the department. The
fact that the committee was directed
to make the investigation upon the reso
luton Of Senator Sherman gives to the
public the impression that his admins
tration of the Treasury portfolio has
been especially investigated, but the
committee is going over the whole
ground, including some time before he
became Secretary and since he left the
Office. with view of discovering what
reforms are needed to protect the public
money from wasteful extravaganza and
unlawful expenditure. F"

The southern Farmers Monthly

We clip the following from the De-
ccmber number of the Southern Farmer
Monthly for the purpose of adding that
the January number will be out before
the WEEKLY News of the 31st reaches
all of its subscribers, and that it will be
the best ever issued. The Farmers
Monthly is a suitable companion to the
WEEKLY News, and both publications
win be sent to any address for one year
for 50 so:
This number closes the fourth vol
ume of the Southern Farmers Monthly,
and we have a request to make of all
who believe with us, that we are en-
gagged in a good work. 1t is that each
of our readers will make it point to Sc
cure one new subscriber to begin with
the new year. This is but a small favor
from our friends, but large in its results
to US and to the new readers of the
magazine 1t is not vanity in us to say
that it is the best magazine in the South.
We are acquainted with every similar
publication in the country, and we
know of none carrying TO the readers
so large anu NdTiSu NOluLuC VI
practical and entertaining reading
matter. We have industriously culled
from all other publications, of whatever
character, the cream of their best pro-
auctions, and each month laid before
our readers, for only two dollars year,
a treasure of gleanings and home work
they could in no other way obtain, even
by heavy expenditure. As a Southern
magazine, we think it has peculiar
CLAIMS upon the Southern people, and
devoted, as it has proved for our years,
to the industrial interests of the people,
surely it is not too much to expect a
genuine, cordial manifestation of in
terest on the part of all who are engaged
in those industries.
"Our January number for the new
wear will be the best ever issued, and
that without any extraordinary effort at
display. We never offer cheap pictures,
books or other articles as premiums for
subscribers, nor undertake to deceive
with the idea that in such articles we re-
turn to the subscriber more than the
value of his money. We offer the
magazine at its real value as a monthly
publication, and leave the reader to
Judge il upon its merits"

In this connection Mr.. John ). Briggs, well
known citizen of Omaha, Neb., told newspaper
man that he was terribly afflicted with an acute
attack of rheumatism IN his BACK. Inc dlsease
which had been preying upon him for years had
drawn him out of shape. He resorted to every
remedy known to physicians, but found no relief
until he tried ST. JACOBS OIL, one bottle OF which
effected a complete and radical cure. Another
case may justify reference:

The Stock Market.

New York, ia bullish feeling pre-
dominates in the street, this portion o.
the Vanderbilt following being said to
have covered its shorts. The Gould
party lntimates that developments in
Erie, Northern Pacific, Reading, Pacific
Mail, Northwest and other stocks will
give an impetus TO the speculation, which
will result ia q very respectable boom.
A good deal of investigation into bank
affairs is now in progress. Thus far,
however, nothing is developed to further
disturb confidence. 1t is noticeable that
the advance in Erie was accompanied by
rumorS that Gould will be made pres;-
dent of the company and Vanderbilt
appear as director; that Vanderbilt has
100000 shares of Erie; that there we're
large orders to buy yesterday for the
foreign account; that Keene was a heavy
buyer; that the rise was on the settle.
nent of the railroad war; on the large
earnings, and the probable payment of 8
dividend on preferred stock. The con-
,picuous fact is that Erie has no. bsen
found in loans Of late. and has been ap-
parently going out of the market.

Mormon Immigrants.

New York, 3.-The Herald: Three
hundred and sixty-seven Mormon con-
Verts and twenty returning missionaries
were on board the Guien steamer Wis
co1aSiae when she arrived yesterday. The
converts come in the Storage and the
missionaries in the saloon. Elder L K.
Msrtinesu, who has been the Liverpool
agent Of the Mormon emigration society
for about three years, was in charge of
the company. The converts we're from
England, Scotland, Wales, Switzerland,
Germany and Scandinavia. The party
will start west this afternoon. Elder
Martinesu said il is the custom in some
countries to persecute US for making con-
verts, aud Elder Ludwig Suhrke was ar
rested in Hamburg the very day we
left. The officers were looking for Bro
ther Hammer too, but he escaped them
snd il with US. Elder Suhrke he's been
preaching at KEEL and Hamburg with
great zeal for two years, and during that
time has been ia days in prison for max
ing proselytes 10 our faith. They SEN
fenced him to seven days imprisonment
in Kiel once and then gave him another
week because he sang hymns in prison.
He has mission church with 150 mem
bers, which no persecution of the Ger
man government can put down.
