Abraham Lincoln.

/ Among recent facts of literary anC
popular interest, is the announcement
of new illustrated biography entitled
THE Everyday Life of Abraham
Lincoln" written by Those whC
knew him." The plan of the work il
that of an exhaustive biography, Civ.
ing not only the general facts of hi
life in chronological order, but Incl
cidents, anecdotes and every day facts
infinitely personal, such as could be
given only by those in closest intimate
and confidential relations during the
various periods of his life. There
were, in pursuance of the plan, en-
listed for the work, embracing those
who knew him as boy, as flat boat
man, a rail-splitter, a clerk in a
country store, law student, lawyer,
politician, President-every period of
his eventual and most interesting life.
Each author writes of the facts of his
life during the period in which he
knew him-facts and incidents that
came under his own obresvation and
within his own knowledge. A book
thus written, and so exhaustive in fact
concerning one Of so enduring a place
in the hearts and admiration of his
people, is assured of an enthusiastic
welcome and lasting place in popular
esteem. We are told that the last
literary work performed by the late
Judge David Dayis, Lincoln's lifetime
friend, was one of the many contri-
buttons to this volume, in which he
took a deep personal interest.
1t is a grand career and character
that Is thus so timely delineated.
What lover Of simple worth and home
Iy virtues is no touched by the story
OF iAncoins pure and manly life! IN
what other country could it have been
possible to procure character and
career like his?
The work IS rendered further at
tractive by nearly 100 superb engrav-
ings from original designs made cspec-
tally for this book, Illustrating scenes
and incidents of his life. 1t is sold at
popular prices within the reach Of all.
The canyassing agent for such a
work will find the latch-string out, a
welcome and patronage that Will
make his business both pleasant and
profitable. n. D. Thompson Publish

MILWAUKEE, July 20.-People in the
vicinity of Grafton, Ozankee county,
are very much excited oyer the fall Of
a meteor near that place. While q
party Of harvesters were a work this
afternoon in barly field on the farm
of Henry Diederick they were sud
denly startled by loud and strange
sounding noise not unlike the roar of
4 long train of cars. The noise in
creased in volume to such a degree
during the space Of only u few seconds
as to become almost deafening. I'm
usual sounds seemed to come from the
heavens, and gazing upward the spec
tators saw what appeared to be huge
ball Of smoke rapidly descending.
What they took to be strange visitor
from neighboring world, was meteor.
1t struck the earth within a few rods
from where the men were standing
and buried itself deep in the ground.
The news spread rapidly throughout
the township and county since which
time Mr.. Diederick's barley field has
been visited by hundreds of people,
including many scientific men. The
hole in the ground in three feet in
circumference, depth unknown. All
attempts to find the bottom by insert
ing poles haying, it is said, proved
fruitless. Mr.. Diederick is new en-
gagged in excavating the earth around
the spot where the meteor struck and
intends to bring the latter to the
surface if it takes all summer.
