Good Enough for Him-A Narrative
told by Abraham Lincoln.

An old gentleman who was on in
innate terms at the White House
during the war, said to the Boston
TraUeller'S correspondent the other
day: Stories about Lincoln are
plenty enough, but | will tell you
one that | can vouch for as being
true, and which, as far as my knowl-
edge is concerned, has never been
in print. One of Lineoln's most es-
teemed friends was old Ex-Governor
Tod, OF Ohio. He was a quaint old
character, and Lincoln loved him for
his honesty, ability and native
shrewdness. At one time be thought
of Tod in connection with the Sec
retaryship of the Treasury, but af-
terwards ne gave him foreign mis-
sion. One evening when Tod was
in town Lincoln invited him over to
the White House. They had a chat
together, when Lincoln finally said:
Look here, Tod, how is it that you
spell your name with only one d?
| married a Todd, but she spelled
her name with two ds. All of her
relatives do the same. You are the
only Tod / ever saw who spelled his
name with so few letters" Old Tod
looked at Lincoln for a moment in
his peculiar quizzing manner, and
then replied Mr. President, God
spells his name with only one d,
and what is good enough for God is
good enough for me- Lincoln used
to repeat this story to some Of his
more intimate friends, and every
time he did so he would laugh until
the tears ran down over that furrow-
ed but grand face"

When Shall we go to Bed ?

1t will never do for Us to adopt q
universal plan to refresh man, and
send all the world to bed at nine
O'Clock. Civilization has made toe
great strides for that. Because seme
men cannot endure excitement, and
are worn to thread mentally and
unable to sleep a wink after an
evening gathering of friends or the
opera, or the theatre, shall we sit in
judgment and condemn all these
amusements? His next door neigh
Dor goes home from one Of them
refreshed in body and mind, hops
in bed humming a tune, and is of
in a deep sleep: if he dreams at all
to go over the sweet recreating
scenes hehas passed through. Sen.i-
bic, seasonable amusements within
bounds, no doubt, are healthful.
When any one of them become an
absorbing passion, then it is that it
works destruction on men, soul and
body.

DEATH OF JOHN KELLY.
The Chieftain of Tanmany Gone TO
His Account.

NEW YoRK, June John Kelly,
the Tammany Cnieftain, died this
evening. Mr.. Kelly had been i'll for
several months. During the last
few weeks he seemed to feel COM
paratively well, but on Sunday last,
at s P. NJ, ne was taken with an at
tack Of fainting, and became weaker
afterward. Monday he was worse,
but this morning al improvement
was apparent. At noon, however,
he commenced to sink, and the ap-
proach of the end was realized. Mr..
Kelly's death was painless, although
he was conscious TO the last. Only
Mrs. Kelly and her two children
were present when the patient pass
ed away. Mrs. Kelly was prostrated
by the blow, and is too ill to see
anybody.
1t was not for several hours after
Mr.. Kelly'5 death that the fact was
generally known. In fact, promi-
nent leaders at Tammany Hall were
not aware of it, until they were in
formed by reporters. At $50 P. N.
Police Justice German, Treasurer of
Tammany Hall, and one of Mr..
Kelly's oldest and closest personal
and political friends, who lives only
two blocks from ;he late ehieftains s
residence, did not know that Mr..
Kelly was dead. When the con-
tirmed news spread throughout the
city, it was too late for Tammany
Hall or any Of the district assocla-
tions except that OF the Fourth ward
to meet and pass resolutions Of
regret.
During the early evening there
were few visitors at the house of
mourning. Among those who did
call were Grand Sachem and ex
Congressman P. Henry Dugro, Pc
lice justices Duffy and German,
and Charities Commissioner Bren-
nan; who will superintend the fu-
neral arrangements tor the family.
The sexton of the Fifth Avenue Ro-
man Catholic Cathedral took charge
OF the body.
Late this evening Mr.. Brennan
announced that the funeral would
take place at the cathedral, on Sat
urday. A solemn requiem mass
will be celebrated over the remains.
Archbishop Corrigan. who called at
the house during the evening, will

said, "and l wish to die q good
Catholic. l wish for the services Of
the church when l am dead, but |
want no demonstration-no display.
/ want my funeral to be plain and
simple"
Undertaken Hart viii embalm the
remains, and they will be buried in
Calvary Cemetery, in the plot where
lie the remains Of Mr.. Kelly's first
wife, and the children of whom she
was the mother.

THE SWEET By AND BY.


BY and by. We say it softly,
Thinking of tender hope
Stirring always in our bosoms,
Where SO many longings grope.
By and by Oh love shall greet Us.
In a time that is to come;
And the fears that now defeat US
Then shall all be stricken dumb.
By and by The mournfnl sorrows
Cloudiug Ger the sky to-day
Shall begone in glad tomorrow,
Shall be banished quite away.
BY and by We say it gently,
Looking on cur silent dead
And we do not think of earth life,
But Of heavens sweet life instead.
BY and by Oh say it softly.
Thinking not of earth and care,
But the by and by Of heaven.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Commissioner Squire and Contrac. tor Flynn Indicted by the Grand Jury.

Commissioner Rollin M. Squire, of New York, was arrested, having been indicted with Maurice B, Flynn for conspiracy. Each was held in $10,OO0 bail. Theodore Moss went bail for Flynn and Martin B. Brown for Squire.
 Squire and Flynn are indicted jointly. The indictment has sixteen counts. It accuses them of conspiracy, and is drawn under sec- tions 52 s and 54 of the Penal Code and sec tion 59 of the Consolidation act These laws make 1t misdemeanor to offer 8 gratuity or reward in return for an appointment to public office, or to agree to receive any reward for procuring for any person an appointment to public office; a misdemeanor ill public officer to sell for any consideration or agree to sell the right or authority to discharge any of the functions of his office, or to permit another for consideration to make appointments in his office; and misdemeanor in head of a depar tment to be interested in any city con- tract, directly or indirectly.
 The first count of the indictment alleges that Squire and Flynn and one Hubert O. Thomp- son conspired and agreed among themselves that Squire, in consideration of his appoint ment as Commissioner of Public Works, should give Flynn the privilege of directing the trans action of the business of the office and con- trolling removals and appointments.
 The second count charges that ill pursuance of this conspiracy Squire did obtain the office, and that Flynn, in return for helping him get 1t, asked for and agreed to receive the privi- leSe ol coHtIolllnS the once, to the HlanlIest perversion and obstruction of the due ad- ministration of the laws.
 The third count charges that Squire offered to give Flynn gratuity and reward, and that Flynn aided and abetted him. The other counts are about the same thing in other words, ex- cept that the eleventh specifies that Squire un- lawfully offered to give Hubert o. Thompson certain gratuity and reward for getting him appointed, and that Flynn was concerned in the transaction; the twelfth, that Thompson was to have the power of appointment, and Flynn was party to the bargain; and the tif teenth count says that Flynn induced Squire to promise Thompson the control.

Publication of Mexico's Claims and
 the Sentence of Cutting.

CrrY OF MEXICO, August IA, 1SS6.-The pub hshed correspondence in the Cutting case con- tains a note of Senor Mariscal to Minister Romero of August 12, quoting in support of Mexican law Wheaton, Phillmore, Story, Felix, Voet, Bachmer, Martens, Saaltield, Pinheiro, Terreira and Fibre. He cites the laws of France Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and Norway, and also refers to the case of the Governor of Guadaloupe Island, punished under the com mon law at Philadelphia, in the year 1794, for outrage upon an American vessel. Senor Ma rescal claims that article 1S6 is in conformity with the general spirit of international law and that the laws of England and the United States are exceptional.
 There is also published the official sente nee, which shows that Cutting was punished for acts committed i'll Mexico, and not for the pub hcation in the Texas paper. The article in Et Cente,ela is made the basis of the com plaint and sentence, and the Judge says in the third consideration of said sentence that proof of Cuttings failure to comply with the agree ment made at the conciliatory trial was con- tained in the card published by him in the El Paso Sunddy Herald, in which he repeats the assertion that Medina was a fraud and swim dler, and in the publication made in the same date in his own paper of the apology promised in which all name spelt in microscopic type. In consider ation sixth Judge Zubir says that even SUD- posing, without conceding that the defamation proceeded from the publication in the Sunday Fl Paso MeraLd, Cutting could be punished in accordance with article 186. In consideration tenth he says that although supposing, with out admitting, the defamation to have taken place in Texas, the facts causing the order of the Court for the seizure of copies of the Fl Paso Herald containing Cuttings card still re- maining in Cuttings office in Fl Paso del Norte constitute the consumation of the of fence according to article GA of the Penal Code

The full meaning of sunstrokc is not included in that term. Heartstroke or insolation is better word and implies a further peril besides the downward glare of an unclouded sun. The concentrated heat of close workroom, as well as the exposure incurred by some careless la borers in the open field, may Lad to most serious consequences. The ex- haustion of work also, particularly if clothing is heavy, is predisposing con- dition which shoull not be lost sight of. Ventilation, regular nutrition, light clothing and as far as possible remission of the pressure of work are strongly indi- cated by the weather conditions under which we are now living, and we there fore venture to impress their importance alike on employer and employed.

ALI SWEPT TO DEATH,
The Mother Drowned with her Chil-
 dren--The Fathers Frenzy.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August H., lSS6--The little town of Conneaut is shrouded in gloom over the sad fate of the family of Martin Slough, late of Eric. Mrs. Slough, whose home was near Conncaut Creek, went down to do the family washing. During the after noon and before Mrs. Slough was aware that her children were close to the creek, the oungest--Hattie, a child of eight-got into the stream and was being swept out into the current, when she was perceived by her older sisters-Ada, aged fourteen, and Bertha, aged twelve.
 Both ran to their sisters rescue, and they too got beyond their depth. The agonizing cries of the drowning children reached tbNir mothers ears, but not until Hattie had sunk and the others were being drawn under Mrs. Slough rushed into the stream, and in her at tempts to secure her children went down with them. Her screams filled the valley and at tracted the attention of trainmen, who hast ened to the spot, but too late; all had disap- peared. The bodies of mother and children were recovered and taken to the home which they had left in perfect health an hour before.
 Mir. Slough, who is a Nickel Plate employe, was notified, and when he learned the sad fate of his family went into frenzy of grief

Skillful Surgery.

The operation known to surgeons as lapa- rotomy was performed on Thursday night at the Chambers St: Hospital N. Y. City upon D. 8 scuff1e with friend, and the ball pierced the intestines, making five ruptures. Mohoney was removed to the hospital, where it was seen that his only chance of recovery was through laparotomy. Dr. w. T. Bull, the only surgeon in New York City who had per- formed 4he operation successfully, was tele- graphed for, and he came immediately to the hospital. The man was put under the in- Auence of anesthetics and the operation was begun.
 A long incision was made in the walls of the abdomen, and they were laid over so that the intestines could be removed. The intestines were placed in 8 warm blanket and each one of the five incisions carefully sewed up with silk thread. The intestines were then replaced in their proper position and the incision in the walls of the abdomen sewed up. The patient was weak after the operation, but showed no signs of sinking. He will probably recover.
