Abe l1ncoln's PerDlexity.

A gentleman told me a story recently
which well illustrates Lincoln's i'm
mense fund of anecdote. Said he:
Just after Jeff Davis had been captured
| called over to the White House to see
President Lincoln. I was ushered in,
and asked him: Well Mr.. President,
what are agoing to do with Jeff Dayis?'
Lincoln looked at me for q moment,
and then said, in his peculiar, humor-
Gus way: That reminds me of a story.
A boy, way out West caught a coon and
tanned it to a considerable extent, but
the animal created such mischief about
the house that his mother ordered him
to take it away and not to come home
until he could return without his pet.
The boy went down town with the coon
secured with a strong piece of Irvine,
and in about all hour was found sitting
on the edge of the curbstone holding the
o. with one hand and crying as though
his heart would break. A ~big-hearted
gentleman who was passing stopped
and kindly inquired: Say, little boy,
what is the natter The boy wiped
a tear from his eye with his sleeve, and
III an injured tone howled, Matter!
Ask me what's the matter! You see
that coon there? Well T don't know
what to do with the darn thing. I can't
sell it, / can't kill it, and ma won't let
me take it home. That continued
Lincoln, is precisely my case. I'm
like the boy with the coon. T can't sell
him, / can't kill him, and / can't take
him home. 'V-B0sto,1 I1ureIer.

prevailed west Of here. The Doctor
Hill place was completely destroyed by
lightning, and a well so full of water
that it could be dipped out, was sucked
dry. Joe Browns place was utterly
ruined. Every thing in its path for
one hundred and fifty yards,-cattle,
horses, tencing-was picked up and car
ried through the air like straws. Par
ties on its edge describe the roar of the
storm as d~eafening. Crops are badly in

Kirnsey and it is said the hail stones
were the largest ever known to fall in

OF the men there are down with
malarlal fever. 1t is supposed to be caus
ed by the melted snow passing over dead
cattle III the c%oulees, thereby injecting

Jonas Jones has received a selection
OF fruit trees which, Notwithstanding
the "non-agricuituralu quality of the
soil, he will plant on his lease. Of
numbers of gentlemen who would like
to keep this country a barren wilder
ness, hope they won't grow, but they
will all the same if any ordinary care is
bestowed upon them.
Medicine Hat items Of May oath: The
end Of the track is now only eleven
miles from here. Quite a canvas town
has sprung up within the last fortnight.
There are seven restaurants and hotels,
eight stores, n billiard room, two (col-
ored) laundresses, two BARRIERS, a watch
maker, photographer, baker and black
smith. Driving piles for the bridge was
finished to-day and the trestle work be-
gun. The grade is being worked at the
north side Of the river towards Calgary
for 100 miles. It is expected that the
track will be in here in six days from
now. Fort Walsh is by this time de-
serted. The finest of weather here now
and quite q few mosquitoes.
A policeman named Ross, employed
with the government bull team, had a
narrow escape from drowning at the
Coal Banks on Wednesday last. He at
tempted to cross the river in asmall boat
by drawing himself along a rope stretch
ed across the river. When about in the
middle of the stream, he either was pull
ed out by the force of the current or the
boat upset. He chung to the rope and
shouted for help. The crew of the barge
which left here last week finally heard
him and went to his rescue. When they
got him out he had been clinging to the
rope for over an hour, his fingers so
elinched to the line that he was with
great difficulty released from his peril
Gus position. He had lost his reason and
was very weak. He was taken to a
house and cared for by the boatmen and
others, n at latest accounts was doing
well. One more warning which should
forcibly present to the government the
necessity of bridging all these streams.

Does it Pay to Raise Draft Horses,

Facts are worth more than theories.
An Iowa correspondent, whom we
know to be strictly reliable, gives us the
following bit ofexpelience: "ln January
1880, I bought a th%ree-quarter blood
Percheron Norman mare with a filly
foal eight months old, got by an i'm
ported Percheron-Norma paying for
the mare and FLY S30o-then called an
enormous price by some Of my neigh
bors. Since then | have sold from this
purchase S485 worth of horses, and have
three left. For Of them-four years
old this spring. have refused $500;
for a yearling past I have refused $500 /;
the third is certainly worth as much
more" The writer hereof has seen this
original purchase and all of the produce,
and he has implicit confidence in the
foregoing statement. The three-quarter
blood mare has been bred each year to
imported Percheron-Norman stallion
with the result stated as above. This is a
forcible illustration of the sentence with
which the letter of our correspondent
IA good bred mare is a fortune
to a farmer.-Breeders' Gazette.

Specializing in Tree Claims.

In the face Of all precautions taken by
the government there is to-day a vast
amount OF speculation goind on in gov
eminent lands, and especially in tree
claims. Everybody in this western
countrJ seems anxious to secure a tree
claim, although ninety-nine out of every
hundred hardly know what to do with
the claim after they get it, except to sell
their right to the same. Recently the
government has taken strong measures
to prevent speculation in relinuuish-
ments, and those persons who now take
tree claims will find there is a necessity
for good faith on their part in the mat
ter Of making Improvements and plant
ing trees according to law.
1t is far more difficult to comply with
the requirements of the timber culture
act than with the provisions of any 9TH
er land law Oh the statue books. The
long period required for improvements
and for tree planting; the danger from
prairie fires to young trees; the possible
onslaught of grasshoppers, and the dam
aging effect Of drought-all these will
combine to render compliance with the
timber culture law a very difficult thing
for any man Whodoes not intend to live
all the time on the spot. Few city peo-
pie now holding tree claims are going to
be successful in proving up on the same
eight years from to-day, and the result
will be tibet a never-ending series of con-
tests and ACCOMPLISHMENTS will ensue.
Few persons in town are doing a very
bright thing when they enter a tree
claim, provided there is an honest inten-
ton OF holding the same. Farmers out
in the country are the only people who
can successfully hold down tree
claims.

How Lees Army was Counted.

When Lee'sarmy was passing through
Chambersburg, Pa, in 1863, on the way
TO gettysburg, Mr.. Messersmith. the
cashier Of the bank, took a station on the
bank steps and undertook to ascertain
the number Of rebels, tallying every
hundred men on a slip of paper in his
hand. A rebel officer ordered him to
deslst under threat of being placed in
arrest. Mr.. Messersmith bowed and
proceeded to his barn and obtained 100
grains of corn, which he held in his
right hand, which was thrust into his
pantaloons pocket. He again took his
stand on the steps Of the bank, and for
every hundred men that passed he
dropped d grain Of corn. When his
hand was empty he had numbered 10,
GOO men, and then he gathered the grains
up again to repeat the enumeration.
SO he atood in the hot sun-and indeed
the weather was scorching at the time
counting until he had numbered the en-
tire host, amounting to 81 ,OOO men.
During the night be communicated to
Governor Curtin the information he
had thus obtained.-Nutick Citizen.

Ingersoll in Court.

To-day" says a correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader, "he was chewing to-
bacco vigorously, and his fat jaws moved
up and down, making the flesh encasing
them expand and contract like India
rubber. IngersolI likes tobacco, and his
bump Of reverence is not large enough
to make him stop chewing during a
court session. He looks for all the world
like an overgrown boy, and it is not I'M
fair to say he Otter acts like one. Some
times he puts his hands into his pockets
when he is speaking, and he often makes
a joke and laughs at it with the audi
ence. He laughs all over, from the fuz-
~ hair Of his bald head to the beefy
calves Of his fat legs, his big belly shak-
ing till the gold watch chain across it
to jingle, and his whole frame a
personification Of Humor on a drunk.n

How. he Caught the Governors Daughter.

When Foster became Governor he
made Fred. Mussey, of the Cincinnati
Commercial, his private secretary.
Mussey is a bright fellow, and soon fell
in love with the Governors youngest
daughter. The Governor at first hest
tated, and for some months it was nip
and tuck between all concerned. One
day the Governor told Mussey to write
letters to all justices of the peace in the
state, informing them of something or
other they should hereafter observe.
Mussey did SO, and when the Governor
came to sign them he found they varied
a line or two in length. His curiosity was
aroused, and he read each letter of the
lot, finding no two alike, but all convey
ing the same information. He at once
consented to the marriage with the re-
mark that Mussey was the most versa
tile young man he knew, and was
deserving OF anylman's daughter.

Church and Dinner Pot.

In certain village in Maryland a
small boy kicked up breeze in the
parish church last Sunday. 1t seems
that certain good woman brought a
chlf's head and put it on to boil leay-
ing her little boy to mind it while she
went to church close by.
The minister had reached his fifth
ly, my brethren, when a small boy
stuck his head in the door and whis.
pered:

The good woman recogized her son
Instantly, and began to make signs
for him to leave the door.
Mamma !" again came the whis-
per-this time little louder than
before.
The mother shook her finger at the
boy warningly, and INDUCED in other
familiar pantomime with which she
was accustomed to awe her son. But
it didn't work worth cent. The boy
was excited and in dead earnest, as
the document will show. Raising his
voice, he shouted:
Mamma, you needn't wink or blink
at me, but had better come home
right away, for the calf's head is but
TIM all the dumplins out of the pot. "
