bors boys we're out on the road going home
with the girls They met a young muatto
named Cad Bush, who brushed against the
girl. Neil was with them, and Neil asked
what he did that for. The ngger got sassy,
said he was taxpayer, worked on the roads,
and had right to walk on 'em. The boys
went that night with their hickories and
dressed him up right smart-no light dressin',
but one he would remember all on ac-
count of the girl, and not on account Of pol
itics, az they tried to make out. After that
an old Niger, a relative of Bush, said he was
going to kill me on sight, and the night of
July "a we started out to hunt him, and went
first to the cabin of man named Cook,
whsr we knew he hung out most OF the time.
We knocked on the door, and Cook says,
Who's tharp l told him we had nothin'
against him, but we just wanted to see if 80
and 80 war in thar, and he said No We
said That's all right, but just open the
door and let us see' He wouldn't do it, 80
we opened up for him and gave him nine
licks. Then we went over to Barry Sander
sons, who refused to open the door We
pried off the fastenin's and Harry rushed
out with an AK. We didn't know it was him,
and one of our boys shot at him several times,
and finally hit him, and that's what they call
kukluxin, and that's all we're here for"

LINCOLN PLEADING UNDER THE TREEs.-A

LINCOLN PLEADING UNDER THE TREEs.-A
correspondent of the Springfield Qll.) State
journal tells this story of Abraham Lincoln
about four miles north of Mount Pulaski,
on the farm of Joseph Ream, stands white
oak tree which once served as temple of
Justice, where Lincoln practiced law. The
old Dement, mill stand with its dam, was the
first built on Salt Creek. Dement'S rights
were encroached upon by dam, built few
miles below, for the Spence mill. The water
of the dam below backed up to the Dement,
dam and stopped its great wheel. Dement,
brought suit and employed Lincoln to prose-
cute the case This was in 1910. A justice of
the peace, fresh from his plow on the prair-
ie, and bubbling over with law and native
Justice, played the part of judge. Twelve Of
the best men to be found in all the surround.
ing country were made jurors, and the case
was opened TO them, seated gravely in row
on the ground, in the shade of the tree.
When the evidence was all in Mr.. Lincoln
made one of his peculiar speeches, full Of
force, with apt anecdotes and ridicule. The
Jury deliberated a short time and brought in
a verdict in favor of Linooln's client, and
pronounced the lower dam an enoroachment
on Dement'S rights. The case gave Lincoln
a high place in public estimation in that To-
oality, a position which he never lost, and
the tree is still known throughout that local
] ity as Ainooln's tree"

Look here, Mary" he said, 'T want to

The brilliant akIes.

The extraordinary afterglow in the west
ern sky at sunset still continues to delight OBJ
servers, when the clouds do not intervene to
shut out its splendors; and those who awak
en- early enough to notice the sunrises find in
the eastern sky in the early morning bril-
liancy and beauty scarcely surpassed by the
evening display. These glorious sunsets and
sunrises are good deal more satisfactory
than the explanations which have been found
for them. There is yet no agreement among
astronomers and other men of science as to
the cause of these beautiful phenomena and
some of the theories which have been de-
vised to account for them would provoke de-
rsion If highly distinguished names we're not
connected with them. So eminent an astron-
omer as Mr.. Norman Lockyer, for example,
lends the weight of his name to the theory
that these beautiful displays are due to the
presence in the upper cir of vast quantities
OF dust and ashes elected during the great
eruptions in Java in August, and borne thence
by the trade wind currents into northern cur.
rents But on the other hand objection is
made that the afterglow was seen at Maran-
ham, Brazil on the Both of August, three
days after the eruption took place. The in
tervening distance being ten thousand miles,
it would follow that the volcanic dust must
have been carried by wind current at the
average rate Of 40 miles an hour. This, to
say the least, taxes the ordinary credulity.
Another theory is that there has been an
exceptional evaporation from the oceans and
a consequent excess of aqueous vapor in the
atmosphere over the northern hemisphere ;
and as a corollary to this theory it is observ.
ed that an unusually heavy precipitation Of
snow and rain is to be looked for. But Prof.
Piazzi Smyth, astronomer royal for Scotland,
aud Mr.. Lockyer concur in affirming that the
speotroscope does not bear out the suggestion
of excess Of aqueous vspor in the atmosphere.
The rain band, Mr.. Lockyer observes, is now
at the minimum, while the dry air band is at
tremendous maximum and Mr.. Smith
adds that "the light from that red haze has
passed through an extra length of extra dry
air" So the aqueous theory vanishes before
the spectroscope.
There are other assorted theories, from
which one may select if he chooses. For ex.
ample, that we are passing through the tail Of
| a comet or that meteors are falling rapidly
and continuously into the atmosphere. Then
| there are natives OF the East Indies who
| thought the end Of the world was at hand !;
and there are the very practical people of
Poughkeepsie, who ordered out the fire de-
| partment to extinguish the celestial conhA
| grafton. But while none of these theories or
| conjectures, scientific otherwise, seem TO
meet the case, the evening and morning skies
still blaze forth their splendors, and one does
not need to be an astronomer, with his head
| full of theories, to enjoy them.

Lippincott's Magazine for January contains
an amount of varied and entertaining reading
which gives the best assurance of the good
things to be expected during the coming year.
1t opens with description of the new public
buildings of Philadelphia, written with mark
ed ability and copiously illustrated Notes
of Conversations with Emerson" by Pendle-
ton King, bring up very vividly the figure of
the great New England thinker in the sim
plicity of his Concord home. "Hawaii Pom
OIL" by Belle Osborne, is an amusing account
of the recent coronation of King Kalakaua,
with many capital Illustrations from sketches
by the writer. undergraduate Life at OK
ford" by Norman Pearson, an account of the
great -four mills of Minneapolis, by F. G. Cur
tis, and the first of series of papers on
"Healthy Homes" by Felix L. Oswald, are
all interesting and instructive articles. The
opening chapters of "Sebia's Tangled Web, "
a short serial story by Lizzie w. Champney,
"Christmas Eve at Tuckeyho," by Sherwood
Bonner aud "Whither Curiosity Led" by
Charles Dunning, constitute the fiction in this
number, and are very attractive.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in the equality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james Boss Gold Watch Case AM y u,ax
which saves the WASTE of need o q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDTTY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

'Danger2 Well, my lad, should say so.
I've been plunging about through the sea all
my life, and have seen plenty Of danger, but
there's nothing like being crushed up in the
ice with nothing but jagged mountains Of
groaning and grinding ice about you" said
Capt. Pike of the Proteus as he walked the
deck back and forth, with rolling motion.
Danger, my lad I've stood at the wheel
when the wind blew great guns and the waves
pounded the ship until she groaned with ago
ny and threatened to go to pieces any mo-
ment. I've had my masts and rigging blown
away, and the decks swept as clean as a whs-
tie, but blast my buttons If there's anything
as bad as the ice You can be knocked about
in storm, you may float about three or four
days on q spar in the open sea, and you
stand some chance in the end of being pick
ed up; but when you get nipped in Smiths
sound, there's no use blowing your fog
horn"
"Was there much confusion when the Pro.
teus was nipped 2" asked the reporter. "Was
there anything like a panic2"
"No, there was not time for panicking'
The men had to look out for themselves and
their provisions, and they had hard work be-

"what do you think the chances are for
Lieut.. Greely's safety ?"
GOOD, if he don't freeze to death" was
the laconic reply.
"Where do you think the party is now ?"
asked the reporter.
"At Littleton's island, if they obeyed or

his eye. which seemed to say that orders
here and facts in the ice were very different
things Suppose they are at Littleton's
island what is there at Litteton's island for
'em ?" was the reply, the curious expression
again taking possession of the captains eye.
They had better stay at Lady Franklin's
bay. Lieut.. Greedy, as said, is an able COM

they will not suffer from hunger. There are
over 20 depots of provisions between Little

won't suffer from hunger. Cold cold is
what'll catch them. They will have nothing

How BROTHER WAS FOUND. Howard
Blackburn, of the schooner Grace L. Fears,
and Thomas Welch lost the vessel while at
tending their travis in a dory on Burgeo
Bank of Newfoundland last January.
Welch died from exposure, and Blackburn
froze both hands and feet By almost in.
credible exertions the poor fellow reached the
shores Of Newfoundland, where he was kind
ly cared for by Mr. Frank Lishman and fam
lily. Mr.. William Litchman. of Marblehead,
read the account Of Blackburn's severe eIpe-
rience in the Advertiser, and it occurred to
him that the hospitable Newfoundlander
might be a relative, as he was a native Of
Little River, Newfoundland, and left there in
1888 with his father and came to Massachu-
setts. The father, who was a fisherman, dis
appeared in 1888, leaving the boy to believe
him dead. William grew to manhood in ig-
norsnce of his family connections, changed
his name to conform to its usual pronuncia,
tion, and is an honored citizen Of Marble
head. Until he read this recital of Blackburn
he supposed that his wife and children were
his only near relatives but now he wrote to
Little River, to gain, il possible, information
on this point The result has been an iden.
tification of Mr. Frank Lshman as a broth
er, and next summer he proposes to make
him visit Gloucester Mass AdUertiser.

THERE IS ONE WOMAN IN BosToN who ap-
preciates what a pack of inefficient busy
bodies an official board of charity directors
can be. She has run for many years q chart
ty of her own devising among people poorer
than herself and has done much good Some
of the rich women with the charitable craze
found out her work this winter, organized a
fair and raised quite a sum of money to help
carry it on. Not content with this they pro.
ceeded to 'organize" the charity, and pre-
pared for a legislative charter with the work
ing woman as superintendent and ~ Of the
rich women as directors. Then they called
to acqusint the president with the glory that
was to shine about her. Judge of their sur
prise when she thanked them heartily for
the interest they were taking in her work,
but added: "There's one thing 1 always
said wouldn't do, and that's work under a
board of directors, and especially women di-
rectors and l won't" To the credit Of the
rich women, be it said, they were generous
enough to brush aside their personal feeling,
give the woman the money they had raised
and let her manage the work in her own way,
without any directors.
