What Lincoln Said to Joshua Speed.

Joshua +. Speed was one of Lincoln's
oldest and most confidential friends in
his younger days, aud their friendship
continued through all trials.
After the capitulation of General Lees
army, Speed came from his home in
Louisville, KY, to visit Mr.. Lincoln,
and while in Washington was invited to
an informal meeting of the Cabinet.
The question of the disposition of JEFF.
ferson Davis and other prominent Con-
federates, after they should be captured,
was discussed, each member of the Cab
met giving his opinion, most of them
for hanging the traitors, or some severe
punishment. Lincoln said nothing.
Finally, Mr.. Speed, addressing the Pres
ident, said: "Now, Mr.. Lincoln, you
have invited me here, and this seems to
be a free fight / have heard the opin-
ion of your ministers, and would like to
hear yours.
"Well, Jacob, replied Lincoln, that
reminds me of story. When 1 was
boy, in Indiana, went to a neighbours
house one morning and found boy, of
my size, holding coon by string. l
asked hum what he had and what he was
doing. He says: 1t is a coon. Dad
cotch six last night, and killed all but
this poor little cuss. Dad told me TO
hold him until he came back, and I'm
nfraid he's going to kill this one, too.
And, oh, Abe 1 do wish he would get
away. We'll, why don't you let him
looseY That would not be right, and
ii let him go, dad would give me hell !;
but If he would get away himself, it
would be all right Now" said Mr..
Lincoln, "h JEFF Davis and those other
fellows will only get away, it will be all
right, but if we should catch them, and
1 should let them go, dad would give
me- hell"

before had the eye of love rested whose

their hands had been against him.
I have told the story more at length

main incidents are true though, doubt

An explosion occurred at West Point, Va. on
the steamer West Point, plying between that
place and Baltimore, which resulted in the total
destruction of the boat and loss of nineteen
lives. force Of stevedores was ,ngag.d in
dischareing the cargo OF the steamer, when a
terrific explosion occurred near the forward

OF the steamer and almost instantly envelop-
iny the forward part OF the vessel IN flames.

Writers First Poem.

Whittier's first attempt Mt poetry was
made when about seventeen years of age,
and the manuscript copy was taken from
his room 10y his sister, without his knowl-
edge, and was given to John Morse. the
paper carrier of the district at that time,
Moore being enjo;ned to carefully place
the copy in Garrison's Office. and to pre-
serve the utmost secrecy regarding the
author. On the occasion OF his next
visit to Newburyport, Morse crept quietly
up the stairs leading to Garrison's office,
and placed the copy beneath the door,
where it was found by Garrison, and o
few days later published in the Free
Press. This poem, the original manu-
script copy Of which is said to be now in
the possession of the publisher of the
Portland Transcript, was styled by
Whittier, ga Paraphrase About the
Prophet Elijah"
The day following the publication of
this poem, Whittier was engaged with
his uncle in repairing stone wall that
the Free Press was tossed to him from
the road by Morse. Whittier opened it
to obtain view OF lis contents, when,
10 and behold, there was his first poem
standing out boldly at the head OF the
column. Whittier was transfxed with
delight, and stood motionless, gazing at
the precious lines, until his sublime rev.
erie was broken by his uncle. who, lean
ing over the wall, babe him drop the
paper and return to his work. En-
outraged bv the success of his first ef-
fort, Whittier wrote several poems
which appeared successfully in the Free
Press, Haverhiu Gazette, and Boston
Statesman. Boston Star.

Can Electricity BE Used as Motor

Though no great feat of hauling, or
heaving, or pushing has yet been per-
formed by electricity, we know the force
can be made to push and haul and
heave. A man has driven about Paris
n an electric tricycle.; girl has sewed a
shirt with sewing machine moved by the
same power; bit OF rock has been at
tackled by an electric borer toy boat
runs about in lake, driven by elec-
tricity and, best of all, Messrs. Siemens
are now carrying passengers in tram, !"
which has no other motor than the cleo
trio "fuid," or modification Of motion,
or whatever it ought to be called. It is
not only probable, but certain, that
many OF the difficulties now impeding
the application of the force To heavy
work will be dissolved, under the pres
sure Of the brain-power now applied TO
them from every corner Of the civilized
world and quite possible that In a year
or two cheap method of generating
electricity will be applied-not dis
covered. for we know already thut fall
ing water. in governable masses, is what
is wanted-and that the storage of the
force will not only he credible, but an
easily accomplished process. That is
not supposing more than has occurred in
the application of electricity to message
sending, and that accomplished. and
cost reduced, as science always reduces
it, we should have from the new agent
at least two things light, full, per-
manent and cheap, to be used wherever
wanted, in the street. workshop, and
house, rs in the mine and motor,

The term Blue Hen, applied to the
State of Delaware, originated with Capt.
Caldwell, an officer OF the First Della
ware regiment in the time Of the Revo-
luton he was very fond of game cocks,
but maintained that no cock was truly
game unless its mother was blue hen.
AS he was very popular his regiment
was often referred to as the Blue
Hens" and the name was afterward
transferred to the State and its inhabit-
ants.
A BLIZZARD is the Northwestern name
for gale of wind filled with snow and
icy particles as fine as rice powder, with
o temperature 10 to 20 degrees below
zero. A genuine blizzard is so fierce
that you can neither face it nor distin-
guish objects ten feet away from you.
In Dakota and Minnesota during the
prevalence of q blizzard farmers only
venture out of their houses with girdie
ropes around their bodies to enable them
to find their way back. There has
never been genuine blizzard In Michi-
gan.
SALT is symbol of fidelity. A man
who has partaken of salt with you is
bound to you by the laws of hospitality.
Bread and salt eaten at the confirmation
of treaty signifies that all parties are
bound to keep the treaty. Salt is also
an emblem of desolation. In ancient
times conquered C ties were always sown
with salt. In Scotland and Ireland it
was formerly considered to repre- sent the
incorruptible spirit and was always laid
above the heart of corpse. 1t was also
the custom, when all the household of
nobleman dined together, to place a
large salt cellar in the middle of the
table, as boundary of distinction be-
tween the family aud the menials.
CoATs-oF- ARMS were used to distin-
gJlish the different chiefs or lords and
their followers in battle and abroad, be-
fore the common people had learned to
read. They were necessary as the uni
forms and badges are now to distinguish
the various regiments and state officers.
The figures of lions, dragons, eagles and
other creatures, the rose, lily and palm,
could be recognized when embroidered
on the surcoat or garment worn above
the armor to protect it from furnishing,
and soldiers could know at a glance
when they met to what Duke or Prince
they belonged. Al first only sovereigns
used those distinctions afterward all
families of noble birth chose badges and
figured shields, every design on which
was sign of some trait of which they
were proud-their loyalty, courage or
ambition. Or the figures recalled some
notable event in the fortunes of the
family, as the spider, which Robert
Bruce watched mending its web in the
cave, while he was hiding from his enc
mics, was placed in the royal arms after
he became King OF Scotland.
