Abraham LincoIn's Poverty.

In Arnold's "Anecdote'5 of LincOln's

where the lawyer who lent him law
books had offered him a partnership.
"'Ie rode" an old friend tells US. into
town on borrowed horse, without earth

or three law books and some clothing in
the bags. He came into my store, set
his saddle bags on the counter, and said =:

DIAZ AND THE LITERARY FEEl-
LOWS

A northern exchange says chat
President Diaz having hit upon a
short and easy method of putting
off the day of payment of both prin-
cipal and interest of the Mexican
debt, it would naturally be suppos-
ed that there was nothing left for
him to do but spend the revenues as
fast as they are collected and enjoy
himself. But somehow there is a
small fly in his financial ointment
which is annoying him. a lot Of
literary fellows in the form of col
lege students and newspaper editors
have had the temerity to publish az
ticles declaring that the Mexican
rulers financial scheme is dishonest.
President Dias being n Mexican
ruler, with an army at his back,
knows how to deal with these impu-
dent writers in an effective manner.
lie has arrested the editors and pro
poses to try them for high treason.
The students are warned that state
support will be withheld from collie
ges and technical schools unless the
art of coinciding with governmental
cdicts on financial and other subjects
IL made an important part of the
curriculum of these institutions.
The kicking railway investors are
also warned through a government
newspaper that if they don't accept
the twenty-five million forced loan
they may do worse.
There are a good many political
bosses in the United States who will

An exchange makes note Of the
Interesting fact that the first half of
1885 was remarkable for the large
number of changes it witnessed in
the governments of civilized coun-
tries. In the United States the re
publican administration, after a
twenty years term, gave way to the
democratic party. In France, NJ.
Ferry's cabinet collapsed suddenly,
and he was succeeded by NJ. Bris-
son. In Spain, the cabinet went to
pieces on the cholera question. In
Italy, Signor Deprctis and his col
leagues resigned owing to The popu-
lar disapproval of Signor Mancini's
foreign policy. In England, the
liberal ministry was upset on the
beer-tax vote, and Gladstone retired
in favor Of Salisbury.
