IS a THOROUGH REMEDY
LINCOLN ON HORSEBACK.
Boston Times,

Boston Times,
Mr.. Lincoln wore what is commonly
called a plug hat, and although it may
have only been conventional length il
appeared to be extraordinarily tail. Al
though it may be well doubted if any
other species of hat would have better
become him, remember thinking at the
time that the stovepipe added greatly
to the oddncss and grotcsQuerie of his
appearance.
The troops were to be reviewed on the
day of bis arrival. and remember the
General was very much perplexed as to
the character of the Presidents mount.
and finally consulted him Us TO the kind
of charger he would prefer. + remem-
Der his answer us plainly as it it were

proposed her for Mr. Lincoln's use.
''All right" said the Presidents; II guess
the mare will suit me to q r: besides.
among horses, that sex is much the east
est to manage. This remark, however,
he added, with sly twinkle in his eye,
"does not hold good of humanity"
When Mr.. Lincoln was mounted on
Bonnie his appearance was more pecu-
liar than ever. The little mare was not
more than fourteen hands high, and SO
great was the length of the Presidents
legs that once fairly settled in his saddle
his feet nearly touched the ground. As
he ruetnlly remarked, glancing at the
extremties, ''if / was only two inches

among military men by mistake.

1t is rare occurrence for 10 man to
spend over eighty years in IN insane
asylum, yet such an event is noted in
France. One Jubissier, known as the
"Man of Glass" has recently died in
the lunatic asylum at Bieetree, where
he was admitted in 1881. He was lob
years old, Jnblssier's insanity resulted
from blow on the head with stone.
Most of his time was passed in an ai-
most letharglc state. Soon after his
admission to the asylum he became pos
sessed by the delusion that he was made
Of glass, and from the moment in which
this conviction established itself in his
disordered brain down to the day of his
death he never spoke word nor moved
of his own accord from croucling atti-
tude in one corner of his room, except
for few days during the bombardment
of Paris when the noise of the cannon
appeared to agitate him distrcssingIy.
Selling the gigantic Indian around
the waist, the brave boy lifted him into
the air and flung him headlong down
the chasm. Painting, the boy stood and
watched the Indians body fall from
crag to crag until it disappeared in the
darkness below. Just at this moment
the father of the boy who was reading
this trash came along, lifted the young
ster by the ear, and in the woodshed
matinee that followed, the boy had no
thought Of flingiDg the old man down
chasm. There was no chasm handy.

How rapidly some foreign habits are
copied in the United States. There was
a time when lager beer was drank by
only few Germans. 1t has now be-
come the national drink Of Americans.
Our Milwaukee, st. Louis, Cincinnati
and Rochester beer is preferred by con-
noisseurs to the best brewing of the old
world. Another foreign fashion which
has proved very popular is the use of
the cigarette. The smoking of the pa
per cigar has become all but universal.
In 1870, according to the official returns,
a tax was paid on 1881 All cigarettes.
In 1880, the consumption was 4O5,705,-
365, an increase in ten years of 1914, $780,
94S. We consume more than any other
nation, for the annual sale in France
amounts to only about 100000 ciga-
rettes.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-According to
a private dispatch from Albany received
here by an official in the War Depart
ment, Senator Conkling has one small
hole for retreat in case he finds, after
the humiliation OF rejected personal
Establishments, that the Albany legisla-
ture will not return him. Gov. Cornell
has never accepted the designations Of
Conkling and Platt, and as long as the
designations are not accepted
they can be withdrawn. To take such
a humiliating step would be impossible
to most men; but after the two Senators
have been obliged to 90 to Albany and
beg a vindication there is no humilia.
ton to which they could not submit
As one man put it after reading the dis
patch: "If Conkling should seek by
such contemplate trickery to retain a
seat in the Senate, he would appear
such a poor figure that the humble post
OF street car conductor would
be proud and dignifed in comparison" 1"
