MRS. LINC0LE's PROPHECIES.
New York Herald


Ga November 4, 1912, she married
Abraham Lincoln, who was then prom
inent lawyer of Springfield, III. AM
bilious in the highest degree, when a
young girl she was frequently heard to
declare that she was destined TO be the
wife of president Of the United States,
though when she espoused Mr.. Lincoln
there did not seem TO be much likeli-
hood of her aspiration being fulfilled.
The young compile lived very quietly for
some time, and four years later Mr.
Lincoln was elected to congress, and took
his seat December, 6, 1877. Mrs. Lincoln
did not go 10 Washington with her hus-
band, but led quiet life with her child
rel at Springfield. Nothing of moment
occurred 10 Interrupt the tranquility of
vention at Chicago in June, 1860. After
an exciting battle between the two can
didates, Gov. Seward and Mr.. Lincoln,
Mrs Lincoln had the profound gratifica-
ton of seeing her prophecy of being
the wife of president on a fair way to
verification. The nomination of her
husband was declared unanimous, and
the evening of the day was indeed an
eventful one in Springfield. Crowds of
excited people thronged to Mr. Lincoln's
house and warmly congratulated his
wife. Just after the election a singular
circumstance occurred which again
brought ont the gift of prophecy which
Mrs. Lincoln possessed. Mr.. Lincoln
described it in the following language:
at was after my election, when the
news had been coming in thick and
fast ali day and there had been q great
'hurrah, boysr so that was well tired
out and went home to rest, throwing
myself upon lounge IN my chamber.
Opposite 10 where / lay was a bureau
with a swinging glass upon it. and look
ing in that glass / saw myself reflected
nearly at my length, but my face, no.
ticed, had two separate and distinct
images, the tip of the nose of one being
about three inches from the tip of the
other. was little bothered, perhaps
startled. l got up and looked in the
glass, but the illusion vanished. On ly-
ing down again I saw it a
second time palmer if possible than
before, and then l noticed that one of
the faces was paler than the'other got
up and the thing melted away, and l
went off and in the excitement of the
hour forgot all about it-nearly, but not
quite-for the thing would once in a
while come up and give me little pang
as though something uncomfortable had
happened. Wehn came home l told
my wife about il, and few days after
tried the experiment again, when, sure
enough, the thing came back again; but
l never succeeded in bringing the ghost
back after that, though | once tried very
industriously to show IL to my wife who
was worried about il somewhat. She
thought it was a sign that was to be
elected tOa second term of Office and
that the paleness of one of the faces was
an omen that l should not see life
through the second term" Mr.. Lincoln
regarded the vision as an optical delu
sion caused by nervousness. His wife's
prophetic Interpretation of the circum-
stance, viewed in the light of subsequent
events, seems certainly most extraOr-
binary.

KILLED by sandmen.

CINcINNATI, July ga Muscogee
special says great excitement prevails
in the upper part of the Greek nation
over the killing of light horse captain,
named Scott, by party of sandmen

their number held as prisoner. Capt
Scott was shot and torn in the most
shocking manner, while one of his men
who interfered was fatally wounded.

Chicago Tribune; The glowing re-
ports of the wheat yield of 1882 in Kan
sas have underestimated rather than ex-
aggerated the situation. The state
board of agriculture estimated the av-
erage yield at twenty bushels 10 the
acre throughout the state, but it is be-
lieved this figure is Is or 20 per cent be
low the true mark. Most of the wheat
crop of Kansas this year will come to
Chicago, being attracted here by the ex-
cellent new departure in wheat trading
inaugurated by the Chicago board of
trade in making No. 2 winter regular
tender on No. 2 spring contracts unless
otherwise specifically stipulated.

An article from the New York Herald
has been going the rounds of the papers
under the title, "Mrs. Lincoln's Proph-
ecies," which tells how, in the Chicago
convention of 1860, latter an exciting
battle between the two candidates, Gov.
Seymour and Mr.. Lincoln" etc. We
had always been of the impression that
it was Gov. Seward, and not Gov. Sey-
mour, who contested with Lincoln the
nomination for the presidency in the
Chicago convention of 1860.

fore the country. His dropping eye is
fixed upon the figures 1884. Accord
ingly the correspondents at Albany and
elsewhere are now saying that his NOM
ination for governor of the Empire state
is not improbable. How tenacious ex-
citing and maddening this passion for
politics Is, anyhow.

The cause of the war with Egypt is
easily defined. England brought it
about by one Of those mysterious Euro
pean movements called balance of pow
or. She assisted Turkey in getting NOM
NAL control of Egypt in 1S4l. Tur-
key plucked the people. England
got mortgage on the country. The
people got dissatisfied with foreign dom
ination. finally found leader in Arab
Bey, resisted the Turco- British DONNA
ton, and the war is on. The result can
be foreseen. Egypt will become another
British annex, but it will cost some
treasure and blood.

To abolish the internal revenue sys-
tenn with the vain thought of assisting in
the plalntenance of protective tariff
is u short-sighted make.shift. If the
tariff cannot stand on its own merits it
should fall. The tax on spirits, wines,
malt liquors and tobacco never should
be abolished while there is public
debt to pay. They are Legitimate OBJ
jects of special taxation.

meath a retreating forehead, two BLUSH

REMARKS: The sales as reported, show q
considerable increase over the week previous,
amounting to larger aggregate than for any
week since the beginning of the year.
The continued favorable reports regarding
the grain crops throughout the country are
beginning TO have their influence upon gem
eraI business, and the outlook for the tall
trade cannot fail to produce q cheerful view
of the future 70 all interests in wool.
We cannot. however. anticipate any imme-
diate Improvement in values. as the large &C
cumulations of wool now at the seabOard and
to arrive within the coming month, will offer
too large an assortment seeking sale on the
market, to reasonably expect any advance
during the next few weeks.

HARTFORD'S BOOM.

"A Story of Growth in Verse
EDITORS EMPoRIA NEWS:
Permit a man to speak the truth,
About Hartford's lively boom,
Which happens not a bit too soon.
For several years the place was deaf,
At least SO some have said;
But now there is a stirring time
Which causes me 70 pen this rhyme.
YoH should see the piles of lumb
Intended for buildings. quite Il number
Have already been erected.
Others to follow are expected
Bricks of Hartiord's own make
Which judges pronounce drst-rate,
Are piled along eur business street,
sign OF pTospe rity and no deceit
Mechanics are in great demand
In this corner of the land,
Emporia hands, we give some work,
Which shows good feelings to the IuTk.
Cottages are built all over town.
Some removed. others should be torn down
Business houses arc built of brick,
A good sign their owners intend to stick.
Hartford is q pleasant place,
To be one of its citizens is no disgrace;
The people are mostly in q good hnnOr,
Not easily affected by u false rnmor
Except, perhaps, few tradesmen,
Who call their fellows tomahawk clan,
Like children through their mouth are filed
They still want more, they can't be filed.
Captain t. seems all aglee
At the siSns of prosperity;
Doctor s. and Esquire Z.

Which are obedIent to their commands

To mention others OF equal grit.

ability and pre-eminent fitness for the
position and feeling in duty bound TO
further his chances in every honorable
way, even to the sacrifice of my own am
