BULWER LYTTON'S BRIDGE.
Where Ii Touches the Shores and tho
Great Columns i'm N1idstream.

'sWhat beautiful bridge between old age
and childhood is religion. How intuitively the
child begins with prayer and worship on enter
ing life and how intuitively, on quitting life,
the old man turns back to prayer and worship,
putting himself again by the side of the in
FAINT" remtrks Sir e. Bulwer Lytton, in his
''Strange Story"
Yes, but between its distant abutments the
bridge OF life has many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash and roar
In wrath and desolation. Prayer and worship
alone do not sustain these. Natures solid
rocks must lie mistaken beneath, and human
art and skill must rear and solidify the struc-
ture overhead. Gods will is best exemplifed
in the laws He has made for the creatures
whom He has placed under their control. Mel
ther the child's trustful sour Father" nor the
old mans "FOrget me not i'm the midst of mine
infirmities," will alter this by the weight OF a
single grain.
Science and art first-then faith and prayer
is the order OF Heaven itself. Divinity heals
through its agents, Ond those agents are the
discoveries of man; not the vague announce
ments of prophets or seers. Is life burden
to you? Does time drag? Is your power to
cope with life's problem and duties weakened?
You are not well. Your blood is sluggish and
tainted perhaps; or some important organ is
torpid or ov0rworked. This fact may have
taken the form Of dyspepsia, rheumatism, govt,
malaria, pains in the stomach, chronic head
ACHE or any OF a dozen other ills. PARKER'S
TONIC will invigorate you, as fresh air invig-
crates those who have been shut up in damp,
fetid cells. 1t is powerful, pure, delicious, sci
entific, safe-the keystone OF the central arch
of the bridge Of life.

The Lapps i'm Summer.
From Cassells Magazine.

From Cassells Magazine.
The Lapps seemed to consider the in
terror of their houses somewhat stuffy
on a summer night. for they were ali
lying in the open air, wrapped in their
rugs of reindeer skin-men, women and
children, and the old grandmother of all
the Lapps. The men wear tight trOus-
ers and jackets of Unframed leather, as
also do the children, and the women have
a sort of loose blouse of the same mater
ial, stopping above the knees, their legs
being swathed in cloth, bound with long
strips of leather.
They are very HnprepOssessing race
of quaint, elfish looking little creatures,
with straight sandy-eOlOred hair, small
gray eyes. The men have stubby mus
taches, suggestive of retired tooth
brush. They are all understood, the
average height of the men being five
feet and the women four and a half.
When the others had departed to seek the
reindeer, we made friends with woman
who was by herself In small grass hut
and who very proudly exhibited her
new born babe-a queer little creature
with yellow leatheYy looking face.
The babies are strapped on to boards,
and so carried on the maternal back, af-
ter the manner of the Indian papOoso.

WHY Lincoln Was Slain.
ial Telerram to the Inter Ocean.

special Telegram TO the inter ocean
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. pa prOmi-
nent ex-UniOn officer in Baltimore ex-
hibited to representatives of the press
to-day a remarkable letter in reference
to the assassination of President Lincoln
by John Wilkes Booth, The letter is
from an intimate friend and companion
Of Booth. 1t goes on to say that Booth
did not assassinate the President for any
political reasons whatever. Bat, on the
contrary, it was simply to wreak private
vengeance. 1t appears that Booth went
to Mr.. Lincoln and begged him to par
don his friend, Captain John Yates Beall,
who was condemned to be shot az Con-
federate spy. Mr.. Lincoln was inexora-
BILE, but after Booth had gone down on
his knees and bathed Mr.. Lincoln's hand
with tears and kissed it, he finally re-
Tented and promised Booth to pardon
Beall. Booth left, well satisfied with the
result OF his mission, but when he read,
a day or two afterward, that his friend
had been shot, he became wild with rage
and cOncOcted his scheme Of assassina-
ton, which he afterward carried out.
The writer also says that the night that
Booth had visited the President he slept
at Mrs. Bowen's boarding house in Wash
ingtOn with two gentlemen. One Is a
city official, and the other is clerk in
the Baltimore postoffice. Both the
gentlemen referred to confirm the state
ment. The writer says that the relations
of Booth with Mrs. Suratt were purely of
a social nature, and that politics or Sec
tionalism had nothing to do with the
tragedy,

Drawing il Rather Strong.

Chicago Herald: "All women are alike
in their fear of the Cars" said an Illinois
Central cOndacter. "They carry their
caution to absurd extremes. That re-
minds me of little story. Down in the
southern part of the state. we have at
road crossings some of the Old-fashioned
signs, Look out for the cars when the
bell rings At one of the crossings the
other day two women came up, driving
an old horse hitehed to a buggy. Thew
looked all about and couldn't see any
cal s, but happened to read the sign stop
ened, and, sure enough, they heard a bell
tinkling. One of the women got out and
amid considerable excitement took hold
of the horses BRIDE. The other one tight
ened her grip OIL the lines, set her jaws
and prepared for the worst, They look
ed anxiOusly up the track for the train,
but still couldn't see it, although they
csuld hear the bell little palmer than
before. They waited and waited. Five
minutes passed then ten and still no
train. The old horse went to sleep,
while the wOmen's nerves from long
straining threatened to throw them into
Mysteries. Nearer and nearer came the
bell against which the sign warned them
and so they stood still, In about quar-
ter of an hOar an old brindle COW came
walking down the pasture by the side Of
the track. chewing her cud and mOnOto-
Rously juggling her bell. One of the
women cried from nervousness, and the
other one got mad at the railroad COM
pany and said they were nothing but
mean old mOnOpOlies, anyway"

Special to the Appeal.
SHIPwITH, MISS, April 2S.-Samuel I.
Wilson, white, convict guard On Col.
E. Richardson's Rustic plantation, on
Washington bayou, was lynched by g
negro mob last night. The facts, as ascer
tained by your correspondent, are as fol-
lows: Wilson, with crew of four con-
victs, was hauling lumber on fatboat;
they landed near where negro named
Ned Mcdaniel was fishing; Wilson and
Mcdaniel had some words, and at the trial
] two negro witnesses testified that Wilson
| made his convicts take Mcdaniel on board
| the boat and beat him until he was insen-
sible, and then ordered them to throw hi N
overheard, which they did. Wilson was
arrested and tried before Adam jenkins,
| colored. The convicts, who were sup
| posed to be friendly to Wilson, were not
| allowed to testify. Wilson pleaded not
guilty, and was committed without bond
to await the action of the grand jury.
Deputy-Sheriff Lawson was sent for by
jenkins to take charge of the prisoner.
There were about 800 negroes at the
trial. They threatened to lynch Wilson,
but by the efforts of Mr.. Lawson and
others they became apparently quiet, and
| expressed their willingness to let the law
take its course. Lawson, with three guards
started to town with the prisoner. When
about a mile from the place of the trial
they were surrounded by large number
of negroes, who disarmed the deputy
sheriff and the guards and took the pris
oner, declaring it their intention to hang
II l.. A.
now hanging to limb in Steele's bayou
swamp. The white people, almost as {
body, condemn the action of the negro
mob, as the man was tried by a negro
convicted by the evidence of two unrelia
bic negroes and hung by negro mob.

MEMPHIS was yesterday visited by one
OF the severest electric storms ever known
in this section of country. 1t began about
3 o'clock am. and continued without
intermission until o'clock, the peals and
sharp detonations of thunder, accom-
panied by frightful displays of lightning
of every conceivable character, following
each other in such rapid succession as
almost to form a continuously angry play
of the elements. Crash after crash re-
sounded, as if the city was being crushed
10 powder and the fnal destruction of the
world was imminent, all the while that
the rain poured down and swept the
streets with torrents OF water. 1t was
a sight that perhaps but few witnessed, but
it was one never to be forgotten by those
who did. But Memphis, it will be seen by
oar telegraphic reports, was not alone in
this visitation. In Missouri on Sunday a
storm of peculiar violence played havoc
with houses and fences, and another
about the same time swept the coun.
ties of Greene and Montgomery, Ohio,
doing great damage to property, and oc-
casioning much loss of life, jamestown
being almost destroyed. These storms,
added to those which have already made
the record of 1884 very disastrous one,
are calculated to furnish cause for alarm,
not that the end of the world is near, as
some timid souls would have us believe,
but for the crops which are OF such value
to commerce as well as from food point
of view

PrrrsBuRG, PA, April 2S.-The Ma
tional Conference of Colored Men, which
couvenes in this city tomorrow, promises
to be one of unusual and lively interest.
The Illinois, New Jersey, Rhode Island
and Philadelphia delegations have ar
rived, and others will reach here in time
for the opening of the convention to-mor-
row morning. The convention will meet
in the Select Council chamber, owing to
the neglect of the local committee to Sc
cure a suitable hall. The apathy of the
local committee in the matter has resulted
in the General Committee Withdrawing
their credentials and appointing new dele
gates from Allegheny county. The old
delegates will present their credentials and
demand recognition, and If not accorded
seats will make vigorous protest. The
object of the conference, as stated by G. s.
Smith, of Bloomfield, H., is to secure to
the colored people, North and South, the
recognition under the laws to which they
are entitled. The questions prepared for
| discussion are: The Necessity and Value
OF Orcanization;r - sour Grievances, Their
Nature and Remedy 2: "our Political
Statns." An effort, il is said, win be
made to introduce politics into the con-
terence, but Mr.. Smith saws the majority

the general public to the benefits to
individuals, to the family and the State

they can felicitate themselves that the
lessening number of drunkards is in
great degree due to their influence and
