Lincoln Forgive Him.
tBen- Psriey POors in Boston Bod

.IBea. Psriey Poor in Boston Budget
One OF Mr.. Lincoln's annoyances
was the claims advanced for having
first suggested his nominationas Presi-
dent. One OF these claimants, who
was the editor q weekly paper pub
lished in little little village in
Missouri, called at the White House
and was admitted to Mr.. Lincoln's
presence. He at once commenced
stating to Mr.. Lincoln that be was the
man who frat suggested his name for
the Presidency, and pulling from his
pocket an old, worn, desaced copy of
his paper, exhibited to the President
an item on the subject. "Do you real
ly think" said Mr.. Lincoln, "that an
nouncement was the occasion of my
nomination. Certainly" said the
editor, "the suggestion was SO oppor-
tune that it was at once taken up by
other papers. and the result was your
nomination and election" "Ah!
well," said Mr.. Lincoln, with a sigh,
and assuming rather gloomy coun-
tenance, II am glad to see you and to
know this, but you will have to ex-
cuse me, am just going to the War
Department to see Mr.. Stanton.
"Well," said the editor, 81 will walk
over with YOU The President, with
that good nature so characteristic oil
him, took up his hat and said: "Come
along" When they reached the dool
of the Secretary's Office Mr.. Lincolr
turned to his companion and said: 81
shall have to see MIR. Stanton alone
and you must excuse me-" and taking
him by the hand he continued, "good
bye, l hope you will feel perfectly easy
about having nominated me; don't be
troubled about it; | forgive you"

Spring Medicine.

Why does everybody take spring
For three good reasons, viz:
because one bottle of a blood purifier
taken at this season will do more good
than two at any other. U-Because the
blood is in q more impure condition
than at any other season. IlI-Because
the system is so weakened by this inn
pure state of the blood that it has not
sufficient vitality to withstand the de-
bilitating effects of spring weather.
Hence, by common consent, people seek
relief in medicine. The combination OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla commends it to our
judgment as good spring medicine and
blood purifier. Such things as Sarsap-
lila, Yellow Dock, Mandrake, &c, COM
pounded by competent druggists like
Messrs. Hood & Co., warrant us in
suggesting that all in need of a medi-
cine of this kind give Hoods Sarsapar-
lila trial. limo

had water on one shoulder and beer
and whisky on the other Mr.. Blaine
refused to vote either for or against
the prohlbitory amendment before the
people Of Maine at the State election.
With him it was purely State issue
and as in his person the marion was
centered, it did not become him to
compromise his party. st. Jonn was
wheedled, cajoled and threatened for
detaching the extreme Temperance ele-
! ment from their party, while at the
same time the beer and whisky inter
ests were courted with the assurance
that their pursuit was held in high
consideration, and would be protected
if Mr.. Blaine we're elected. A few
days ago, when proposition was ten

lature to legalize the sale of intoxi

ton from the Republican members,

But any reference to the object oi
Anderson's mission led TO q repetition
of the passionate outburst. An officer
succeeded at last in turning the con-
versation from the dangerous topic.
Wayne having expressed himself
confident of ultimate success Major
Anderson gave expression TO his
own gloomy forebodlugs. Pressed
for his reasons by General Wayne,
Anderson replied, that as the only
hope Of success against q formidable
foe lay in voluntary union and subor-
dination. che example he had wit
messed that day of an officer high in

useful or permanent success.

derson. "I look to you to remove these

This arraignment OF Wayne course
seemed about to produce another

was, though envious and excitable,

most tie same heat with which he had
refused to obey Lafayette, he cried
out:

The Curse of the Assassin.

1t Is remarked by Washington
correspondent that almost everybody
who had anything to do with the trial
of Guiteau, either on one side or the
other, has met with misfortune since.
Probably these are mere condolences
but if so they are curious coinci-
dences At one time before his exc
cution Guiteau in fit Of passion, rails
ing his table high in tina air, with his
eyes rolling and his teeth gnashing,
declared that the Republican party
was doomed an1 after Arthur there
would be no more Republican presi-
dents. At the same time he predicted
that Arthur would be repudiated by
his own party and which if nomina-
ting Blaine would suffer defeat and be
swept out of existence.
This prediction has been almost If
not altogether verified.
Among those concerned in the trial
of Guiteau, and all of whom were
cuased by the assassin, the following
may be mentioned: The district at
torney who prosecuted Guiteau lost
his wife, came into discredit in the
star route trials and was deprived Of
his Office. The Judge who sentenced
Gulteau has suffered i'll health, and a
hotel which he owned fell down, caus-
ing him much loss of money and kill
ing several people. Of the officers
who had Guiteau in charge one has
died and one was murdered. OF the
Jury one died, two failed in business,
two had deaths in their families and
one went insane. Of the medical ex-
perts who pronounced him sane one
was attacked and badly injured by a
crazyman and died suddenly in the
prime of life. Marshal Henry, who
had charge Of Guiteau during the
trial, lost his Office and has fallen into
.obscurity. The warden who had
charge of the Jail where Guiteau was
confined lost his health and his place
Rev. Hicks, Guiteau's spiritual ad-
wiser, lost his standing in the church,
left the ministry and going to Florida,
became an applicant for federal Office.
He was appointed but the senate
failed to confirm him. Crump, Gar
fields steward, who was mixed up in
the affair lost his place and his health
and had to make a scanty living by
keeping cheap restaurant in a base.
ment, and Scoville, Gulteau's brother
ln-law, was followed by scandal that
ended in divorce from his wife.
Misfortune seems to have attended
all who were concerned in that famous
trial, and whether coincidence or not,
the curse of the assassin seems to have
fallen upon those at whom it was di.

MADE OF SNAKE SKIN.
Used for Diary Covers, Albums and
Purses, Scrap-Books and Slippers.
From the New York Mail and Express. !

From the New York Mail and Express.l
In the window of a Spruce street
leather store, hangs the tanned skin OF
a boa constructor twelve feet long
All the markings have been carefully
preserved and the scales retain their
natural position.
"They are mostly used in the manu-
facture of purses, diary covers and the
like said the clerk in charge of the
store to reporter. "Albums and
scrap-book covers are also made of
snakeskin, and sometimes slippers and
even Shoes The great difficulty with
it, however, is that the scales soon lose
their nice appearance and get rough
and furry. A successful means has
not yet been devised of making them
lay fiat to the skin for any consider
able time.
"Is the trade in them extensive2"
asked the reporter.
Not at the present, nut it promises
to become an important article of
trade in the near future. When it is
discovered how the scales can be made
to retain the position they held while
the animal was alive, they will be in
greater demand than even alligator
skin"
What kind of snakes are mostly
nsed?"
"The larger species, such as pythons
boas, but even the delicate skin of a
frog can be tanned. An opera glass
covered with the handsomely marked
skin of a greater, or a small water
snake will soon become fashionable.
Cardcases, small books and little bed
room clocks are some of the articles
in the manufacture of which they are
used. The surface of the skin is
thickly glazed and in such things it
takes a long time before the scales
began to stand up. The upper portion
of slippers and shoes and shoes and
dressing cases are made from the
larger skins.
"What country supplies the most
reptiles for the purpose?"
"Nearly all of them come from
Africa, but good many are also OBJ
tanned from Brazil and other parts of
South Africa. 1t is a singular fact
that the skins have to be taken tc
France to be tanned. The industry
has not yet sufficiently developed tc
induce men in, this country to venture
into it. Only few days ago I sole

A writer in the Rural New Yorker
tells the young folk how they may
perform the magic feat of putting an
egg into the bottle. Like many other
things it is easy enough when you
know how. Soak fresh egg for sew

of the vinegar will eat the lime of the
shell, so that while the egg looks the
same it will be capable of compression.

smaller than the egg. With | little
care you will have no trouble in press.
ing the latter into the bottle. Fill the
bottle half full of lime water, and in a
few days you will have hard shelled
egg in bottle with a neck third
smaller than the egg. OF course you
pour off the lime water as soon as the
she'll hardens. How the egg got into
the bottle will bc a conundrum that
few can answer.
