LLnooln's Famous Address ut Gettysburg.
The celebration at Gettysburg was on
Cemetery Hill. I was sent to report it
for The Philadelphia Press. ! sat behind
Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Everett delivered the
Grafton. remember the great orator
had way Of raising and dropping his
handkerchief as he spoke. He spoke for
two hours, and was very impressive,
with his white hair and venerable figure.
He was a great orator, but it was like
bit of Greek sculpture-beautiful, but
cold as ice. 1t was perfect art but with
out feeling. The art and beauty OF 1t
captured your imagination and judg-
ment. Mr.. Everett went over the cam
paign with resonant, clear, splendid
rhetoric. There was not a word, or
word, or a sentence, or q thought, that
could be corrected. You felt that every
gesture had been carefully studied out
beforehand. 1t was like great actor
playing great part.
Mr.. Lincoln rose, walked to the edge
of the platform, took out his glasses and
put them on. He was awkward. He
bowed to the assemblage in his homely
manner, and took out of his coat-pocket
a page of foolscap. In front of Mr..
Lincoln was photographer with his
camera, endeavoring to take picture OF
the scene. We all supposed that Mr..
Lincoln would make rather long
speech-a half-hour at least. He took
the single sheet of foolscap, held it
almost to his nose, and, in his high tenor
voice, without the least attempt for
effect, delivered that most extraordinary
address which belongs TO the classics of
literature. The photographer was bust
ling about, preparing to take the presi-
dents picture while he was speaking:
but Mr.. Lincoln finished before the
photographer was ready. ! remember it
was beautiful October day, and there
were 1900 or 5000 people present. Very
few heard what Mr.. Lincoln said, and it is
a curious thing that his remarkable
words should have made no particular
impression at the time. The noticeable
thing was the anxiety of all on the plat
form that the photographer should be
able to get his picture. remember we
were all very much disappointed at his
failure, and were more interested in his
adventure than in the address.-John
Russell Young.

The Old Man and His Sheep.

alone in balloon, which was caught in

Railroad Tie Plantations in Kansas.

One railroad board here, knowing that
the growing Of wood, when set about in
in earnest, is neither slow nor difficult
task, has established in Kansas the larg-
est artificial plantation of forest trees in
North America. These railway gentle
men themselves gave out the contract
for planting over square mile of land
with young saplings of the catalpa and
ailantus; and their president, observing
the success Of their experiment, and i'm
pressed with its probable excellent finan-
cial results, has had planted at his own
expense, as speculation, as much more.
These are situated near the little town
of Harrington, Kan.-Forestry commits

First Duty to Write AgreeabIy.

write agreeably-some very disagreeable
men have succeeded in doing it, 30 there
Is no need for any one to despair. Every
author, be he grave or gay, should try to

Reading is not duty, and has therefore
no business TO be made disagreeable. No
body is under any obligation to read any

An Easy-Going Sandwich Island City.

Waikiki, the second city in the Sand

large number of wealthy people, mostly
Christians, but they haven't energy
enough to call clergymen to officiate in
the two Protestant church edifices in

THE WHEELING Boycott. The |
Wheeling Register and Intelligence are
passing through trying ordeal-one
uncaled for and two-fold dangerous
and malicious. Some two weeks ago
without provocation or warning, the
printers in all the newspaper offices of
Wheeling, threw down their sticks and
refused to work unless their wages were
increased from 80 to 40 cents per thous-
and '.ems.u At the former rate any
average printer ought to make from
So so to $4.00 per day, and this, the
publishers say, is fair estimate of the
wages they pay. TO pay more would
seriously cripple their business. Unable
to agreeably settle the difficulty, the
publishers placed new men at the cases.
Now the deluded printers who volunta
rily left lucrative positions, are boycott
ting the men who dared to protect their
own property, by resorting to the vilest
means in their power. One publisher,
with the heart of chicken and the
ambition of knave, is assisting in the
attempt to wreck the business interests
of Wheeling, in order to build up his
own success upon the ruins. Might
does not make right. The true laborer
and the business man will be with the
publishers in their struggle for the high
est and grandest right of mankind-the
right to protect themselves and proper
ty, to enjoy the happiness of their own
industry, to do with their own as they
see proper. The Wheeling people will
stand by their publishers, for, if the
right to ones own property and bust
ness is once destroyed, the weakest as
well as the strongest enterprise, is at
the mercy of men who will have their
claimed rights but will not allow others
the same priuilege. To boycott is to
murder the private, constitutional
rights of the boycotted.

The talking and other noise during
entertainments at the Central Opera
House, should be quashed at once, be
fore the nuisance obtains a foothold.
Saturday night last, the behavior was
disgusting, even though the manage
ment did everything in their power to
have good order. The difficulty is mostly
with the youngsters, but they were as
sis ed also, by a few adults. 1t is unjust
to persons who pay to see and hear the
performances, to be annoyed unneces
sarily and unless the bad conduct
ceases, the better class of our theatre
going people will cease TO attend
these performances. Another bad habit
is that of continually running out be-
tween acts, and coming back after the
playing has commenced. The police
men will receive the gratitude OF all
just people, if they will only enforce
good order hereafter.

democratic candidate. See him smile,
and shake hands with the rurel dele
gates. He is a candidate, you know.
Amt be happy ? Don't life seem pleas
ant? How noble be looks How reck-
lessly he passes the cigars to the
s'crowd.'' That man was born to rule
or be ruled. To-day is the convention.
In fancy, Mr.. Candidate hears the loud
cheers as his name is presented to the
convention. Takes beer. Feels good.
Loves all the world-except that ugly,
ignorant fellow on the Market house
corner, who is giving the country dele
gates whole quarts of peanuts at a time.
He hates him. He is his opponent.
Well. we should say he does. Night
That man with his higS bat crushed in-
his walk unsteady, with despair written
on his face-that is our candidate 81
this morning. His pockets are empty.
His friends are gone. Darkness is with
him. How fallenl Can it be that such
a change can occur in so short a time?
Why is he thusly i? Why is he miser
able ? Hear We those loud cheers, and
sweet strains of music? The boys are
serenading his opponent. The peanuts
did the work. Poor man, never put your
trust in democratic delegates. No.never.
Go home, friend. Get up in the morn
ing aud remember there is no telling
who your friends are in a convention.
Such is life. Don't fret. If you feel like
it kick.
