A Case Resembling that of Gen. Grant.
Some ten years ago had a scrofulous sore on
my right hand which gave me great trouble
and under the old time treatment healed up

the use of potash and mercury and in March

Lincoln as a Congressman.

Elihu B. Washburne, our late Minister
to France, in an article entitled Abraham
Lincoln in Illinois, published in the North
american Rerie,0 for October, thus speaks
of the martyred President at the period of
his election to Congress:
" Mr.. Lincoln took his seat in Congress
on the first Monday in December, 1s47.
- He sat in the old hall of the
House of Representatives, and for the long
session was so unfortunate as to draw one
of the most undesirable seats in the hall.
He participated but little in the active
business of the House, and made the per-
sonal acquaintance of but few members
He was attentive and conscientious in the
discharge of his duties, and followed the
course OF legislation closely. When he
took his seat in the House, the campaign
of 1s4S for President was just opening.
" ! was again in Washington part of the
winter of lS49 latter the election of General
Taylor, and saw much of Mr.. Lincoln. A
small number of mutual friends-includ-
ing Mr.. Lincoln-made up a party to at
tend the inauguration ball together. 1t
was by far the most brilliant Inauguration
ball ever given. Ofcourse Mr.. Lincoln had
never seen anything of the kind before.
One of the most modest and unpretending
persons present, he could not have dreamed
that like honorS were to come to him al
most within a little more than decade
:" he was greatly interested in all that
was to be seen, and we did not take our de-
parture until or o'clock in the morning.
When we went to the cloak and hat-room,
Mr.. Lincoln had no trouble in finding his
short cloak, which little more than covered
his shoulders, but, after a long search, was
unable TO find his hat. After an hour he
gave up all idea of finding it. Taking his
cloak on his arm he walked out into Judi
ciary square, deliberately adjusting it on his
shoulders. and started off bareheaded for
his lodgings. 1t would be hard TO forget
the sight of that tall and slim man, with
his short cloak thrown over his shoulders,
without any hat on, starting for his long
walk home On Capitol Hill at o'clock in
the morning. And this incident is akin
to one related TO ME by the Librarian of the
Supreme Court of the United States Mr..
Lincoln came to the library one day for the
purpose of procuring some law books
which he wanted to take to his room for
examination. Getting together all the
books he wanted, he placed them in a
pile on a table. Taking a large ban
dana handkerchief from his pocket he
tied them up; and putting stick which
he had brought with him through a knot
he had made in the handkerchief, adjusting
the package of books to his stick, he shout
dered it and marched off from the library
to his room. In few days he returned
the books IN the same way"

IMPORTANCE OF WATER PoR PLANTS
In experiments performed by Sir J. B.
Lawes he found that most plants exhaled
during the four or five months of their
growth more than 200 times their dry
weight of water, drawn up from the soil in
which they grew. DR.. J. H. Gilbert stated
that the amount of water given off by
plants during growth might be approx
mately estimated as equal to depth of
three inches of rain for every ton of dry
substance grown. Messrs. Lawes and Gil
bert found by actual experiment that q
crop of hay growing on land that had
been manned, and giving about ton and
half per acre, evaporated two inches
more rain than an unmanured crop of less
than third of ton. These two inches
were equal to 200 tons of water. A heavy
crop OF barley eysporated nine inches, or
1,5O tons of water more than bare land
lying alongside. These experiments show
the importance Of understanding so as to
keep the soil pulverized and mellow. TO
hold like sponge the water which falls on
it, and give it off to growing plants az thew
need 1t. A good growing crop keeps the
soil in better condition than q soil without
crop, the latter being easily flooded, and
again parched by drought; and without
undertaking. either artificial or natural,
the soil cannot be brought into good con-
dition to absorb and hold surplus water

The following from the Cincinnati Enquirer
of yesterday will effectually squelch lie that
has been used by some of those strange people
who think they can help temperance by aid
ing the Democratic free whisky party:
Yesterday afternoon the Saloon-k keepers
Association met at Schaepperle's Hall to dis
cuss the question as to their attitude in TIE
campaign this fall. Mr. Daniel Cronin made
them neat speech setting forth the stand
ing of the two parties on the liquor question.
The vote was then put for the sense of the
meeting as to which ticket they would in
dorse, and the four hundred or five hundred
saloon keepers present voted unanimously to
indorse the entire Democratic ticket. There
was never such unanmity before by the as

The Sentinel affects great distress over the
"Slick Six" 1t thinks Mr.. Denny is the
product of the "Slick Six" and that they are
not favorable to the principles enunciated in
the Republican city platform. Wehave before
rtfuted the silly twadde about the "Slick Six"
but for the moment, accepting the Sentineps
statement that they are not favorable to the
attitude of the party against the effort of the
saloon element to obtain control of the city
government, what odds does it make2 The
same men who nominated Caleb S. Denny
adopted the platform, upon which he
manfully placed himself with Cloth
feet" In this campaign the candidate
and the platform are one, and those who like
the platform can have no hesitation in vo ting
for the candidate. The men who composed
the late Republican city convention were not
men to say one thing and mean another The
committee who reported the platform knew
what their words meant, and the convention,
adopting it with unanimity, knew what
it meant. No plank in it was received with
more favor and cheers than the ones declaring
in favor of one-hundred-dollar saloon tax,
and for the overthrow of the domination of
the Liquor: League in municipal and State
politics. The Sentinel cannot brighten any
one with its silly bugaboo of the "Slick Six"
Candidate and platform in this campaign are
unequivocal, and that is what hurts the Sen
tinel as the organ of the liquor lords.

TIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1885

Against the probability of returning to such
things the fight is now on. The Liquor
League has demanded freedom from taxation
and the liberal treatment of gamblers. The
city government has been denounced as puri-
tanical, and more '1iberap era
is promised if the league succeeds.
And again the people are called
to do their duty toward beating back these
arrogant and lawless men. The city, in
measure, is freed from the evils Of saloon con-
troll. It must be kept so. 1t can
be kept so. It will be kept so,
if all the people vote, and watch is kept on
the fellows whose duty shall be to buy votes
for the Liquor League in its constituencies
fight to defeat law and justice. Let an eye
be kept on these fellows, and the full measure
of the law be given them.

his department.. And, after all, it turns out

usually outgrown after the age of ten. The
