Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech.

President Lincold made q speech,
which has become famous, at Gettys-
burg Nov. 10, 1853. Gen. Meade had
won the battle of Gettysburg, July l-3,
which destroyed the last hope the
Confederates had of invading the
North, and proved to be the turning
point of the war. At the dedication of
the cemetery in which the slain of this
battle were buried. Pres'dent Lincoln
made brief address which has been
pronounced the finest ever delivered
on similar occasion, and which has
become familiar to the entire English
speak ng world. The martyr President
said:
-Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this onti-
nent new n 4tion, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now we
are engaged in great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation 50
conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure. We are met Oh a great battle
field of that war. We have come to
ded cate portion of that field as Il
final resting-place for those who have
given their lives that that nation might
live. 1t is altogether lifting and proper
that we should do this. But in larger
sense we cannot ded cate, We cannot
consecrate, We cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and
dead, who struggled here, have conse-
Grated it far above our power to add or
detract The world will little note,
nor long remember, what We sa: here;
but it cannot forget what they did here.
It is for us. the living, rather to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
far so nobly advanced. It is rather for
us to be here dedicated to the great
work remaining before US; that from
these honored dead We take increased
devot on to the cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve that til SO
dead shall not have died in vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have a
new birth Of freedom: and that govern
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people shall not perish from the
earth. Inter Ocean.

The Court of madagascar.

The English Court is SO famous for its
rigorous observance of all the etiquette of
mourning, that British subjects may con-
graduate themselves on the superiority OF
their lot to that of the natives of Madagas-
car. In that anything but tavoured isle,
the people were forbidden for two months,
after the death of the late Queen, to wear
hats, carry umbrellas, or paint their hair
to say nothing of an interdict on the trades
of building and weaving. And even these
rules appear to have been a relaxation OF
ancient Malagasy customs. OF course,
people whom Nature herself has dressed in
a 9 customary suit Of solemn black arc
more put to it to express the outward visi-
bic signs of woe than the fair-sllinned chill
dren of the North, who get quite sufficient
effect out of bit of Grape or cloth hat

The Story Of Chinese Gordon.

BY A. Egmont Hake Among modern
soldiers Major-General Gordon holds a
position quite unique, and the story of life
as narrated in this enthralling volume excels
all the fictions of all the romancists. For
" Chinese Gordon,'' as it is the fashion to
call him, has led an ideal life. A soldier in
all the highest qualities that make soldier,
he cannot, however, be called a man of the
world He is no warrior Of the clubs, no
darling of the club windows Of ST. James's
Street and Pail Mall. TO him Conscience
and Duty seem to have been the twin watch
words. He never misinterpreted the dictates
Of the former, and he never shirked the
performance Of the latter. His services in
commanding the ever-victorious army
against the Chinese rebels is one of the
most stimulating chapters of modern history,
and is narrated in this volume with patient
fidelity and with graphic force There may
be in the world those who would laugh at
the notion OF Il general who led his soldiers
to victory armed only with thin cane. But
these are the same persons who would see
no leyity in the fact that the same man is at
present in Jerusalem, where . he works at
his sell-mpo8ed task, the reconstructiye
suryey-haf mystical, half scientific-of
the Holy Sepulchre.' TO us the story
seems one Of rare significance, and we can
congratulate Mr.. llalle on the admirable
disposal which he has made Of the facts in
his possession. -Llic

A Cruel CumtOm.

Next to the cruel check-rein, binders are
one of the most useless and ugly append
ages of the horse-gear. They are not only
useless, but injurious to the eye-sight. The
Loadon Lancct, which is acknowledged to be
the leading medical journal of the world,
condemns the use of binders in the strong
est terms. The argument used in favor of
binders, that horses are afraid Of passing
carriages, is weak and unGounded. A horse
is not half as likely TO be frightened if he
is allowed to see all that is going on, as he
is when half-blinded. If allowed to see
everything, he becomes familiar with all
objects. If half blinded, every stirring leaf
and paper excites a nervous horse, for the
reason that he gets no clear view of the OBJ
icct, and therefore magniies all half-dis-
cerncd objects into spooEes. Besides, the
most beautiful feature Of the horse is the
eye, and if not hid from our gaze would
denote sickness, pain OF pleasure. Many
time would a driver spare the whip on see
ing the animals imploring eye. The ugly,
disagreeable and useless binders should be
condemned by every intelligent horseman.
Men never use them on saddle horses-why
should they be used on carriage horses :?
Where one saddle horse is frightened a
hundred carriage horses run away, showing
conclusively thot the binder is a nuisance.

The Annexation of Samoa 10y New
Zealand.

1t appears that the Annexation Act of
this colony (says a New Zealand JounaD
has been fully discussed by the Parliament
and chiefs OF Samoa, and that they have
unanimously agreed to take steps towards
obtaining annexation to New Zealand. The
Samoans have been particularly taken by
the large sums voted in New Zealand
Parliament for education, for Native schools
and land courts, and being a very intelligent
people, fully comprehended the amounts
and purport of the expenditure in various
departments Of the public service. i'he
commur' cation forwarded from Samoa to
the Premier and Parliament of New Zcal"nd
says: =" The members of the present
Samoan Government and other chiefs of
influence, not in the Government, have
asked me to make the following proposition
to you:-Will your Government pay the
expenses of the visit of a deputation of
Samoan chiefs to New Zealand, while there
and the return back to Samoa the deputa-
ton to consist of ten members and an
interpreter extra? They arc willing, and
await this answer, to appoint a deputation
to visit you, consult you, and, if clear and
good to their mind, enter into a temporary
arrangement for annexation till further news
is obtained from the Home Government : a
deputation also from your Government to
come back with them, and further the
scheme to fix it in all points" In memo
randum accompanying it is said :-E' They
are willing to so the full length of anything
so that they can get a check on the
Germans from taking land never sold to
them, and a check on the consuls from
bullying them so often. They do not want
to be a Crown colony, but they desire to be
joined to a representative one and the
statement goes so far as saying that should
the Home Government decline to sanction
action in the matter they are prepared
voluntarily to take action themselves, and
''declare themselves part and parcel Of New
Zealand. There has never been a better
opportunity Of transferring this group to
the British than now If not, France will
be here next year, as we'll as at the New
Hebrdes. The last war vessel (French)
from Tahiti that was here told the people
that next year they will come and visit them
and do them some good. The French
priests do not want France here, on account
of the ill-feeling between the Republic and
the priests. Every Catholic chief, Protest
ant chief, and wild chief Of influence is for
joining New Iealand-hoping, wishing,
and praying for it, so as to get settled in
mind and in Government. ~ H. Hcuzd

1t is of course recognized that Satur-

well the proposition that a general Sat
