Lincoln Disappointed.

The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Tribune says: Among
the crowd on the streets on Inaugural
ton eve a good many queer things
might have been jotted down. Asa
White, who was in the Interior Depart
ment from the time Tom Ewing the
elder became the first secretary there,
remarked to some office-seekers:
"Never mind, gentlemen, I have seen
Abraham Lincoln just as anxious as you"
"How is that ?" asked one.
"Why, when the Interior Department
was created the new secretary had the
disposal of the Land Office, and Abra-
ham Lincoln came to me and filed his
papers. That was back in 1848. His
opponent was another Illinois man
named Butterfeld. Butterfield was q
lawyer who had defended the prophet,
Joe Smith. on q charge of murder. He
and Lincoln we're pretty jealous of each
other. They went through all forms of
soliciting friends to sign the applica-
tions and watched their chances ner-
vously, but Butterfeld got away with
Lincoln. Lincoln was very much ex
cited over his failure, and when he
came to the office the last time, and ask
ed for his Endorsements, he claimed that
nearly all his valuable papers had been
stolen. He said that his opponents
friends had committed larceny, and
therefore stole march on him."

By Sylvester Baxter in Atlantic for March.
Arriving at Cuautla, we found an ex-
cellent hotel, the San Diego, directly
across the plaza from the railway sta
lion. The landlord was q German, and
had been in the country about thirty
years. The hotel was one. story
structure, built around large court,
the rooms opening upon tile-roofed
veranda In the court was tall date
palm, with sprays OF rich, orange-hued
blossoms rising among its graceful
plumes Of dark green.
I hardly expected to meet in an OBJ
soure Mexican town party Of Ameri-
can tourists passing the time in placid,
ease just as they might be encountered
at nice Swiss inn at some Alpine valley.
Yet we encountered at the San Diego a
most delightful company of our compa.
triOts. One, an eminent artist, who
was something of an invalid, was enthu-
siastic over the delicious air and glo-
rious scenery of the place. These win
ter days in Cuautla we're all like our
ideal June weather at home, he said.
There was no intense heat, while cold
and chilliness were absolute strangers.
Mexico he regarded as superior to Flor
ida as winter refuge. In these warm
lands, besides the endless scenic varie
ty, there was an unchanging climate all
through the winter; at least on the Pa
cific side of the mountains On the
Gulf slope, as at Orizaba, there were
occasional fogs, rain and raw northers.
"And then there are no mosquitoes
here" said another friend. II have
never seen land so free from them.
The few insects one meets here are really
contemplate; I feel inclined to pity
them for their feebleness."
It is, indeed, a great mistake for peo-
pie to come to Mexico from the North
in the winter, and confne themselves to
the capital. They experience the chilly
weather which now and then visits the
high regions of the central tableland at
that season, and with the abrupt tran
sitions of cold and heat from morning
to noon and night they at times teel
IlOIo olSCOulOIU Uudu III buClI
Northern homes, where genial hearth
fires glow, until at last they perhaps
leave for home in disgust, anathematiz-
ing the whole country.
All this is mistake, when on every
hand are pleasant places like Cuautla,
within easy reach of the capital by rail,
journeying to which might fill many
weeks with a round of pleasure, novel
scenes greeting the eye everywhere.
There is much of the great interest to
tourists to be seen in and around the
capital, but there are pleasanter winter
abiding places near by. 1t is, however,
good central point from which to
make agreeable tours all over the coun-
try, Now that railway communication
with the United States is completed,
there will be many pleasure travellers
to Mexico. When they come they
should remember that there are rich,
warm valleys down below, close at
hand, where simple existence seems a
luxury, amid the delicious airs of gen.
uine tropical surroundings.

A Crazy-Qullt Show.
From the Boston Traveller.

GAoAAA SAAo DOoVOn 1I&vdlloTs
The number Of pieces comprising the
display of the crazy quilt and needle
art work exhibition at Horticultural
Hall has thus far mounted up to 10000
and more. Many of the less important
articles had to be removed from the ex-
hibitlon recently to make room for
the display of newer and more valuable
exhibits. Among these new arti-
cles is what may safely be announc-
ed as one of the most costly quilts in the
world. 1t is made of the most expen-
sive material which it was possible to
obtain, saving, only, "iewels OF gold,
jewels OF silver and precious stones, !"
which would not have been appropriate
either, in such an article, while
in design and execution it shows
the greatest variety and elab-
Grafton of embroidery work. The quilt
belongs to Mrs. Davenport, of Maiden,
was several years in process of construc-
ton, and is valued at about So, 900.
Another quilt of elaborate design and
Kensington work belongs to Mrs. James
Scott, of Detroit, Wis, and is worth
$1,000. It was brought here from the
New Orleans Exposition. where it at
tracted much attention in the needle
art work display. Another military
quilt, so to speak, was shown, made by
a private soldier in the English Grena-
der Guards, while in barracks at Wind
sor Castle, but who is now with his reg
iment in the Soudan. The quilt con-
tains 1,574 pieces of cloth taken from
the uniforms of officers of the British
army, and, of course, is of very many
different colors. The center piece of
the quilt contains the colors of the I'm
ion Jack and the British crown. It is
valued at about $500.

A Model Church.
From the Toronto Globe.

From the Toronto Globe.
The Church of the Holy Communion,
New York, sets an example worthy of
all imitation as a working church. It
has 900 communicates on it's roll.
These keep in operation a baby shelter;
an industrial school, registering 354
names; an employment society, furnish
ing work to sixty poor women each
week, workingmen's club whose men,
bership numbers 2O3, whose income
last year was over $1,000 and which
has in connection literary club and
relief association; special club for
boys; a home for aged women, which
had last year fourteen inmates, and
provides this year for twenty; d shelter
for respectable girls, which has never
less than thirty inmates; Summer
home at Hastings on the Hudson, where
last Summer more than 100 persons
were entertained; aud coal fund. by
means of which poor people are able to
obtain coal at greatly reduced rates. It
may readily be conceived that church
whose members thus devote their ener-
gies to works of practical philanthropy
is not likely to have either time or in
clination for the numerous entertain
ments" which seem the best expedient
most modern churches are able to de-
wise for promoting social intercourse
and good will. We venture to say the
loss is not felt by the members of the
church in question; and that its methods
in addition to all the material and NOR
al benefits they confer on outsiders,
will be found much more conducive
to brotherly kindness, and much less
fruitful of idle and mischievous gossip,
not to say back biting and slander, than
those of the churches so much given
to socials OF the tea-drinking and speech.

oIOetO et4AO ~ d1Iow A4ISO w eSS ILL.,
Mr.. J. W. Sanborn, of the Missouri
agricultural college, has, with usual
good common sense, been making some
experiments to demonstrate the value O
good roads and broad tires on road and
farm wagons. He says that the condi-
ton of the country road is one of the
surest indications of the civilization of
the people. The trials were made with
a carefully tested dynamometer; the
loads drawn were 1865 pounds each,
and the felloes and tires were 1 ] inch
and three inches, respectively. The
first test was on Blue Grass sward
somewhat moist, though it had not
rained for two weeks. The average
draft of the narrow-tired wagon
was 439 pounds. while that of the
wide-tired was 80 pounds-a difference
of over Al per cent. in favor of the wide
tire. Assuming the wagons to weigh
1000 pounds each, the same team could
draw 3,248 pounds on the wide tire as
easily as 1000 pounds on the narrow,
and besides this, the wide tires did not
cut through and injure the turf as the
others did. In further test, on par
tally dried dirt road, the broad wheels
showed draft of 371 pounds to AL for
tie narrow, being 1877 per cent. in IA
vor of broad tires, so that with the same
wear and tear of team, the broadtired
wagon could carry 331 pounds per ton
load, more than the other Although
these differences disappear on hard
we'll made roads, he concludes that every
farm should have one or more broad
tired wagons. and says the teamsters on
the College farm always prefer such for
use about the farm. We have long
known the value of broad tire for
farm wagons, and have such one for
all work on raw ground or meadow
land. It costs very little, if any, more,
and soon pays for itself by saving the
team.
