What Secretary Lincoln Will Do.
Philadelphia Times

Secretary Lincoln apparently I'M
derstands the full import of the
late political cyclone. It is currently
reported that he will recommend
that no river and harbor bill be
passed at the coming session of
Congress at all. This would be a
good step in the right direction.
No legitimate improvement would be
injured by such course, as there is
nearly S10,000,000 of the last APP
preparation which has not been
spent. The mud puddle statesmen
who depend on this appropriation to
re-elect them to Congress will be
opposed to such a course, without
doubt, but as a good many of the
mud-puddle statesmen got swamped
this year in spite of the approprla-
ton, or rather in consequence of it,
their clamor may well go UNDECIDED.
Nineteen million is too much to
spend for this purpose in two years,
let alone one, and if the treasury
doors are slammed in the faces of
the hungry jobbers entirely this year
the extravaganza will be quite
sufficient

atoms and incidents are introduced;
the entire story is re cast and re.
written, SO as to render it more
dramatic; and yet the features which
made the story, as originally told, SO
attractive are all retained. Mr.. James
will also write for The Atlantic some
critical and literary papers, such as
the readers of the magazine have
heretofore found so admirable.
Mr.. W. D. Howells, author of
''Their Wedding Journey" etc,
whose stories and essays have so
often delighted the readers OF The
Atlantic, will from time to time send

TIE PERILs OF The BALLoT-Box.

Rev. G. a. Strickland, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, delivered
an admirable discourse in his church
last Sabbath evening on "The Perils
OF the Ballot box" Among the per-
lis discussed at length were ''ignor-
ant voting" and ''mercenary voting.
His remarks on these were pointed,
vigorous and earnest. He also al
luded in fitting terms to ballot box
stuffing, tissue ballots, false count
ing, etc. One of the most valuable
points in his d scourse was his we'll
merited criticism of men of wealth,
culture or social position who re
frain from voting at all, or whose
apathy prevents them from taking an
active interest in elections. Such
men are so much indisposed to mix
ing with the rabble that they allow
the rabble to control elections and
select the officers who are to make,
interpret and administer the laws of
the land. Mr.. Strickland thinks
that one of the remedies for
ignorant voting, is for the intel
ligent, moral portion of the COM
munity to make themselves felt at
the ballot>box, by taking an active
interest in the results of elections.
His discourse was timely, full oil
telling points, earnestly and elos
auently delivered, and is bound to
do good. We are glad to see the
pulpit taking hold of such questions
This is a legitimate subject for dis
cussion by Christian ministers. The
nerils which surround the ballot-boz
are sufficient to excite grave appre-
tensions. There is certainly danger
ahead, and as it a great moral
question, the minister's of the differ.

it. One of the objects of the

A story is told by the Nantucket
Inquirer of young married man in
town, which will bear repeating
The young man during his court
ing" days was very bashful. One
day he was invited to attend tea
party at the house of a pious uncle
of his sweetheart, and when asked to
the table the good hostess requested
him to ask blessing, which so
sbroke up" the already bewildered
young man, that he unconsciously
stammered out: Il don't care for any,

The interviewer said: sColonel,
what is your opinion on the prohibi,

the following characteristic reply:
II can give my opinion best by
telling you this story. A strong
prohibitionist was discussing this
question with a gentleman who had
not much confidence in making peo-
pie virtuous by law. The anti-pro-
hibitionist said:
".How wodld you like to live in a
community where nobody drank any
intoxicating liquors-where every
body was perfectly sober?'
81 would be delighted with such
a community, said the prohibitionist.
"'And how would you Ike to live
where everyone was Industrious
where they rose early and went to
their work in season-where every,
body was at home in the evening,
and where no one used profane Ian

Stations Whose Names Appear
in War Dispatches.

The first station which is reached
on the Ishmalia aud Cairo line is
Nefiche 1.-TWO and half miles.) Here
the fresh water canal divides, one
branch going TO Ishmalia, the other
passing through two locks, following
the line Of the Suez canal down to
Suez. After leaving Nefiche the line
pursues the fresh water cana, passing
by El.Msgbara ard reaches Lake Mau
samicE, which is used as a reservoir
for the canal. Fourteen miles from
Neiche is Mahsamah, where there is
a station and irrigating sluices in the
canal. The next station is Tel ell

that here it has been reported that

some little distance from the line, and
it is reached by means of a draw

Kishlak. Five miles across the

Tel-el-Kebir is situated in a lux.

from Tel-el- Kebir the Sweet Water
canal divides at a place called FL
Abassa el-Sugra. One branch Of il
continues along the line Of rail TO Tag

about ten miles distant, and where
the line, after it has made the detour
by Zlgazig, is met again. Following
the line Of railway three miles from
the division Of the canal, the station Of
ABIDE Hamed is reached, after which
the country is fertile. Passing over
two low irrigation canals at a distance
ten miles, we come to Zagazig, an IN,
important town with a population O.
some 1900 souls, among which were
many Europeans. Seven miles from
here is Burden and six miles further
on is Beliefs, where, as mentioned
above, the new Fresh Water cana
from Cairo to Ismailia is met with

there is evidence that although

age growls of the horrible monster
told only too plainly that he had a
deadly meaning. His mouth was wide
open aud he bounded forward with all
possible confidence in his ability to
get a delicate morsel, but such was
not to be, at least at that time, for
the entire party reached the house in
safety, but fearfully exhausted.
The bear was not over fifty yards
behind them when the party got into
the house, and reared up on his hind
legs and uttered savage yells at being
robbed Of his prey. Truly a narrow
escape for the ladies, and as bears are
quite plentiful in the valley it be-

to be very careful or there will be a
more serious ending Of some pleasure

Alcohol From AcOrns.



1t is said that alcohol equal to that
made from grain can be produced
from acorDs. The acorns are freed
from the shell and ground finely; then
they are mashed with malt and allowed
to ferment. Acorns contain about 20
per cent Of starch and Is per cent OF
gluten. They would be a valuable
article for human food if it were not
for the fannie acid (about 3 per cent?
which they contain. Vast quantities
which 20 to waste every year, where
hogs are not fed in the woods, might
be gathered by boys and converted
into alcohol for use in the arts, thus
freeing an equivalent amount Of grain
for use as food. Or some young stu
dent Of practical chemistry might
make a good thing for himself and for
the world by deyising an economical
process Of separating the starch, gluten
and fannie acid, the last for technical
uses and the others for food.
