ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S SON.

Miss Clara Barton, in the Provi-
dence Press, relates an interview she
recently had with Secretary Lincoln.
Il wished to see him because he was
Abraham Lincoln's son. she said.
slowly and softly, and l went to his
Office desk, handing him my card as 1
approached him. Il have no favor to
ask of you, Mr. Secretary | said,

me for many years. | knew President
Lincoln we'll He was good and kind
and helpful to me in whatever I tried
to do for our soldiers. He recognized
and cared for the little things I had
succeeded in doing; and when there
came one great undertaking (referring
to her making record of the missing),
so great as to appall p women with its
seeming impossibility yet which the
entreaties of many survivors forced me
to attempt, when other officials said,
1t cannot be done, he, the head and
heart of it all, said, / will help you
And he smootted my way, and made
it ali possible and plain. When the
task was ended, and l came back to
Washington feeling the obligation I
owed to him, he was not here to re-
ceive my grateful thanks. He had
gone beyond all that 1t was sad little
burden to carry around with me unut-
tered and rnshared, but I have carried
it. At home and beyond the sea,
wherever l have been, it has gone
with me and | have come to-day to
ask you, as his representative, to ac-
ccpt that burden of thanks for him. l
felt my tears flowing before 1 had fin

WAS WALLED LAKE.
Burlincton. Iowa. Hawkeye.

burilnStOn, IOWA, daWkeye
The greatest wonder in the State of
Iowa, and perhaps in any State, in what
is called the Walled Lake, in Wright
county, twelve miles north of the Du-
buque and Pacific railway, and one
hundred and fifty miles west cf Du-
buque. The lake is two or three feet
higher than the earth's surface. In
some places the wall is ten feet high,
fifteen feet wide at the bottom, and five
feet wide at the top. Another fact is
the size of the stone used in the con-
struction, the whole of them varying
in weight from three tons down to one
hundred pounds. There is an abund-
ance Of stones in Wright county, but
surrounding the lake to the extent of
five or ten miles there are none. No
one can form an idea of the means en-
ployed to bring them to the spot or
who constructed it. Around the entire
lake is a belt of woodland half a mile
in length, composed of oak. With this
exception, the country is a rolling
prairie. The trees must have been
planted there at the time ofthe build
ing of the wall In the Spring of the
year 1856 there was great storm, and
the ice on the lake broke the wall 10
several places, and the farmers in the
vicinity were obliged to repair the
damages to prevent inundation. The
lake occupies ground surface of $500
acres, depth of water as great as twenty
five feet The water is clear and cold,
soil sandy and loamy. 1t ia singular
that no one has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from nor where
in goes, yet it is always clear and fresh.

AN OLD, YET GOOD STORY.

When Davy Crockett was in Wash
ihgton he was one day sitting in
hotel toasting his shins when Senator
from Massachusetts, entered
Approaching the old frontiersman
the latter said:
Crockett, large procession of your
constituents are marching up the street.
You ought to go out and greet them
Crockett hurriedly arose and went
out upon the hotel steps, when large
drove of mules caught his eye. He
quietly watched them until the last one
had passed and then returned to his
seat by the stove. The Massachusetts,
Senator was still there, and as the re-
doubtable Davy dropped into his chair,
asked:
We'll, did you see your friends p
'Oh, yes.' was the response. They
are looking remarkably we'll, too
Did you ascertain their destination!
Certainly, sir
And where are they going in such
solid body?'
Crockett turned to the Senator with
quiet, calm expression, and replied:
The blamed fools are ali going down
to Massachusetts, to teach school,
And then they gazed moment in
to each others faces and sadly walked
up to exercise the barkeeper awhile.

CHEMICAL EXAMINA TION OF
DRINKING va TER.

DR.. J. w. Mallet, University of Vir-
ginia, has undertaken for the National
Board of Health, special study of the
methods of examining drinking water
for organic impurities; and the board
urgently request that physicians and
sanitarians shall promptly report to
Dr. Mallet any we'll marked cases of
disease which may seem on medical
grounds to be fairly attributable to or
gaDic impurities in the drinking water
used by the patient 1t is further de-
sired that samples of each such water
shall be forwarded to DR.. Mallet for
examination, but not until after the
reasons for suspecting the water have
been submitted to Dr. Mallet, and no.
tice has been received from him that
the analyses are ready to proceed with
its examination, Such notice of read
mess will be accompanied by clear in
structions as to the quantity of water
required, and the mode of collecting,
packing, and shipping it. The cost of
packages and transportation will be
borne by the Board of Health. Dr.
Mallet's post Office is University of
Virginia P. o., Albemarle County,
Va.
1t is to be hoped that physicians will
not neglect to aid this important in
quiry, especially as it furnishes so
favorable an opportunity to have tes t.
ed gratis any water the wholesomeness
of which they may have cause to
doubt.

a YANKEE GIRL JILFS t..
PRINCE.

It was announced in the leading
journals of Paris few months ago that
the only daughter and heiress of a
Lowell, Mass, millionaire was soon to
marry one of the Bourbons, cousin
of. Don Carlos, of Spain. But the mar
riage never occurred, because the Yam
kee girl wouldn't invest The Prince
called every day last winter at the
hotel where the young woman resided
In the words of the Paris correspond
ent of the San Fransisco Chronicle !:
Fancy the noble scion of the very
illustrious and thrice puissant House
of Bourbon going on his knees to ST.
600, 900 worth of sarsaparilla But |
may have overdrawn the picture. 1t
is not certain that the noble Prince ac-
tually went upon his marrow bones in
pr0pria person9. He did that by
proxy Though he paid court assidu-
ously and daily in person, the Prince
sent formal demand, or, to speak ex-
actly, several demands by his cham
berlain. For, though prince may
have no cash, as long as be can borrow
money he keeps up petty court, and
of course must have his chamberlain
On one occasion, when this deputy
came to ask the hand of Miss in
marriage, or rather to inform that
young lady that his Highness the
Prince A de Bourbon proposed to
confer upon her, a plain, untitled
American, the honor of his name and
high-sounding title, Miss-quite
peremptorily refused the honor, where
upon the chamberlain exclaimed: DO
not say you refuse him His High
ness the Prince is not parsonage who
can be refused. Oh, no! 'Tis i'm
possible. Put it in some other form, |
beg of you. Say you are unable to ac-
cept of the honor offered you Any
thing but a refusal The prince is not
an ordinary man, to be rejected in this
mannerp Notwithstanding the fervid
eloquence of the chamberlain, the mo-
of the Yankee girl was positive. Tell
your MASTER she said to the deputy,
that don't want titles half as badly
as he wants cash.

many things recently that were unbe-
coming, the statement that he said
Robertson was q traitor to me at Chi

Grant ought to know but 10 per cent

constituencies behind them; that the
strong Republican districts were al
most without exception against him;
that Robertson was elected delegate
as Blaine man, and refused to obey

THE OLDEST CITY IN THE

Damascus is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crumbled
on thd shore Baalbec is ruin; Pal.
mpra is buried in desert Nineveh
and Babylon have disappeared from
the Tigris and the Euphrates. Da-
mascus remains what it was before the
days of Abraham-a centre of trade
and travel-an isle of verdure in the
desert; "a presidential capital with
martial and sacred associations extend
ing through thirty centuries. 1t was
near Damascus that Saul of Tarsus
saw light above the brightness of
the sun; the street which is called
Strait. in which it was said he prayed
still runs through the city. The cara
van comes and goes as it did thousand
years ago there is still the sheik, the
ass and the water wheel; the merchants
of the Euphrates and the Mediterranean
still occupy the streets with. the multi
tudes of their wares The city which
Mahomet surveyed from the neighbor-
ing height, and was afraid to enter, be-
cause 1t was given to man to have but
one paradise, and for his part he was
resolved not to have it in this world

of the East as it was, in the time of
Isaiah, the head of Syria
From Damascus came the damson,
