Lincoln and His Coon.

Just after JEFF. Davis had been cap
tured," says a'gentleman in the Boston
Traveller, 81 called over to the white
house to see President Lincoln i was
ushered in, and asked him: We'll, Mr..
President, what are you going to do
with JEFF. Davis ?" Lincoln looked at
me a moment and then said in his
peculiarly humorous way: That re-
minds me of story. A boy way out
west caught 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, secur-
ed with strong piece of twine, and in
about an hour he was found sitting on
the edge of the curbstone, holding the
coon in 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 matter?' The boy wiped
a tear from his eye with his sleeve, and,
in an injured tone, howled: Matter ?
Ask me what's the matter? You see
that coon there? Well, | don't know
what to do with the darn thing. l
can't sell it, | can't kill it, and ma
won't let me take it home"

Something for Boys to Read.

Here is good story, and all the bet.
ter because it is true one. Two men
stood at the same table in large
factory in Philadelphia, working at the
same trade. Having an hour for their
incoming every day, each undertook to
use it in accomplishing definite pur-
pose; each persevered for about the
same number of months, and each won
success at last One of these two me-
chanics used his daily leisure hour in
working out the invention of machine
for saving block of wood into almost
any desired shape. When his inven-
tion was complete, he sold the patent
for fortune, changed his workman's
apron for broadcloth suit, and moved
out of tenement-house into brown
stone mansion. The other man-what
did he do? Well, he spent an hour
each day during most of year in the
very difficult undertaking of teaching a
little dog to stand on his hind feet and
dance jig, while he played the tune
At last accounts he was working ten
hours day at the game trade and at
his old wages, and finding fault with
the fate that made his fellow workman
rich while leaving him poor. Leisure

mind as well as purse. if one harvests

Fence Advertising.

The fences along the line of the
streets and public roads are generally
garnished with advertisements. The
people who do this are probably not
aware that there is law against it,.
The act OF 1881 says: "Be it enacted,
etc. That if any person or persons
shall, without the consent of the owner
or owners thereof, willfully daub, paint
advertisements, or post placards upon
or deface walls OF any building or
buildings, house or houses, or the
fences around the yard connected there
with, or any fences surrounding or en-
closing any vacant lot or lots, or farm,
or shall, without the consent Of the
owner or owners thereof, daub, paint
advertisements or placards upon or
otherwise deface any tree or trees, or
shall cause the same to be done by
others, such offender or offenders shall
be guilty of u misdemeanor, and upon
conviction be sentenced to pay line
not exceeding 1915, and undergo an i'm
prisonment not exceeding thirty days,
or both or either, ut tho discretion of
tho Court.

A Suit over Piece Of Human
Skin.

Boston, July 6.-What may well
take rank as the most unique of law
suits has grown out of Governor But
ler's inv vestigation of the Tewksbury
abuses. A reporter met member OF
the boot and shoe firm from whom
the Governor obtained the largest
specimen of tanned human hide and
this conversation took place:
"Mr. Donaldson, did you ever recover
the skin you loaned Governor But
ler ?''
"No, 1 have not; but 1 am going
to-"
"Was it of any value to you z"
81 should say it was. | was max
ing pair of shoes from it for the mus
cum in Rome. l valued that skin at
about 81 800"
"How do you propose to get it
back again =? You have received word
from the Governor that he does not ac-
knowledge ahy property in human
skins, and that he intends to bury it
when it has served his purpose as evil
dence in the investigation"
II understand that, and have COM
menced legal proceedings to secure it
again"
"Do you anticipate success in your
suit ?"
II certainly do, and because of the
publicity given the article in the re-
cent affair | would not take less than
three thousand dollars for that skin"

He Waived His Private Reasons

smiingly remarked Mr.. Waldman, as
he raised his right hand in the witness
box, in front of Judge Peirce yesterday.
"What for ?" roared the lawyer for
the defense.
"For / like mo to-" replied the wit
ness, somewhat embarrassed.
"What for, / say 7" shouted the
lawyer, rising to his feet.
"Vat for should tell you p said the
astonished witness.
Don't you know why you affirm 7"
roared the counselor
Mr.. Waldman blushed until his
moustache got red and replied: 81 hal
got me some private beleafs because i
should affirmation make"
"W hat are your beliefs 7" asked the
lawyer, in caliope-likc tones.
"Yust vat bleasc, but / will swear

kissed the book with such clamorous
smack that the dozen criers awoke and
chorused "silencc."

A Remarkable Sand Dune.

The Reno, New, Gazette describes u
remarkable hill Of moving sand in the
eastern part of Churchill county, New,
about sixty miles from Land Springs
Station. 1t is about four miles long
and about mile wide.
In the whole dune, which is from l0G
to 400 feet in height, and contains mil
lions of tons of sand, it is impossible to
find particle larger than pin head.
1t is 80 fine that if an ordinary barley
sack be filed and placed in a moving
wagon, the iolting of the vehicle would
empty the sack, and yet it has no form
of dust in 1t, and is as clean as any sea
beach sand. The mountain is 80 solid
az to give il a musical sound when
trod upon, and oftentimes bird light
ing on it, Or large lizard running
across the bottom, will start large
quantity Of the sand to sliding, which
makes a noise resembling the vibration
of telegraph wires with hard wind
blowing, but 80 much louder that il IL
often heard ut distance of six or seven
miles, and IL Is deaiening to u person
standing within short distance of the
sliding sand.
A peculiar feature of the dune is that
il il not stationary, but rolls slowly
eastward, the wind gathering it up on
the west end and carrying it along the
ridge until il is again deposited Mt the
eastern end. Mr.. Monroe, the we'll
known surveyor, having heard of the
rambling habits Of this mammoth sand
heap, quite number Of years ago took
careful bearing Of it while sectioning
Government lands in that vicinity.
Several years later he visited the place.
and found that the dune had moved
something over mile.

Of course, the large paste diamond

over the counter to sign his name, and
as he looks up at the clerk, which 800

lean against the counter, close the cir
cult, the spark will illuminate the dia-
mond aud the guest will be paralyzed
with the Importance of said clerk, who
can add any amount per week to his
bill in advance. The lines will be on
the underground principle, that is,
under the clerks shirt front, with the
wires emanating from button-hole.
