Their First Meeting Prior to the Campaign
of the Wilderness.
In my first interview with Mr.. Lincoln
alone he stated to me that he had never
profesSed to be a military man or to
know how campaigns should be con-
Quoted, and never wanted to interfere in
them; but that procrastination on the
part of commanders and the pressure
from the people ut the North and Con-
gress. which was always with him,
forced him into issuing his series OF
Military Orders rs''-one. two, three,
etc He did not know but they were all
wrong, and did know that some of them
were. All he wanted, or had ever want
ed, was some one who would take the
responsibility and act, and call on him
for all the assistance needed, pledging
himself to use all the power of the Gov
ernment in rendering such assistance.
Assuring him that | would do the best |

avoid as far as possible annoying him or
the War Department, our first interview
ended.

A HORSE TRADE.

Questionable Transactions.

How the Professionals of TeNas Manage
Questionable Transactions.
G. W. Bulger is one of the best horse
traders in Western Texas Not long
since he offered for sale a large bay
horse to Colonel Withcrspoon, who
thinks he knows all that is to be known
about horse. Colonel WitherSpoon
bought the horse at a very low price.
GilhooIy. who happened to be present
when the trade was made, took the pur
chaser aside and said to him:
Colonel WitherspOon, how did you
come to let yourself be taken in on that
horse? Don't you see that he is lame in
his left hind Lego
Colonel Witherspoon winked and
whispered to Gilhooly.
Il am not fooled blame bit in that
horse. | know he is lame, but his lame
ness comes from a nail in his hOof. I'll
Just have that nail pulled out. and then
the horse will not limp and will be worth
twice what | gave for him. It's big
bargain and don't you give it away
Gilhoolv whistlcd and remarked:
"Well. YOU are shrewd one after all.
1T will be a cold day when | get left
on horse trade, " replied Witherspoon.
as he led off his limping purchase.
Next day Gilhooly met G. W. Bulger.
''Bulger, you are not as smart at a
horse trade as | thought you We're. You
let Witherspoon have that horse for half
what he is worth.
Are you sure of that?'
Certainly l am. That lameness
comes from nail in his hoof Wither-
spoon will pull the nail out, cure up the
sore place, and the horse will be worth
twice what he paid you. "
Il don't think so, - replied Bulger. 81

hoof. drove it in myself. "
You did?"
Eyes. You see WANTED people to be-
lieve that it was the nail that made him
limp, but he ,cas lame before. He VII

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

A CATHOLIC legend says that the
devil gave hermit the choice of three
great vices, one of which was drunken
ness. The hermit chose this as being
the least sinful; he became drunk, and
then committed the other two.-ReU.
Hm. Reid, Edinburgh.
Mr.. JUSTICE GRAY remarked, during
the proceedings at the assizes held re-
Gently in Victoria. B. c., that some re-
form would certainly have to be made
as to the saloons of the city. Out of
some twenty-four cases of robbery in
cluded in the present assizes, no less
than thirteen or fourteen of them had
taken place in saloons; the proportion
showing plainly the connection of
crime with liquor.
The Legislature of Iowa is consid-
ering a bill which makes drunkenness
a crime. That is right. No man has
a right to make himself over into a
iiend capable of all manner of crime,
and escape from the consequences un-
der the plea Il was drunk" The
condition itself should be ranked as a
crime and punished. We too often
hear the plea of ''the poor drunkard. "
1t should be changed to the wicked
drunkard.- Chicago Inter Ocean.
IT is said that in England there arc
more than fourteen hundred parishes
where the liquor traffic is not per-
mitted to exist. 1t has been for many
years expelled from two large districts
in London, two large sections of Liver
pool. and one large district each in
Birmingham and Manchester 1t was
entirely driven out from the great
manufacturing town of Saltaire IN
Yorkshire, more than thirty years ago;
also from another large manufacturing
town, Bessbrook in Ireland, and from
a district in County Tyrone containing
siXty-two square miles, more thar
thirty years ago.

CONCERNING SPELLS.
How They Are Related to the Magic OF
Western Europe.


Western Europe.
In regard to the magic of Western
Europe, since the establishment OF
Christianity, some singular evidence
has been forthcoming from the discoy.
cries made on the sites of ancient Nine
veh and Babylon by Sir Henry Layard
and other explorers, followed by the in
vcstigations of scholars of the present
dav based on these discoveries. A whole
literature has been disentombed. and its
contents have been partially deciphered.
This literature consists OF tablets OF
of clay, written on in cunei--
form character, and is made up OF
treatises on theology, magic, astronomy.
agriculture and mathematics, most OF
il upward of three thousand years old.
The magical treatises consist of moth
ing but litanies, indicating the rites
used for the expulsion of the evil de-
mons, and for salvation from their OPP
erations. The descriptions given of
these evil demons show clearly that they
were what we nowadays term diseases
such as fever, plague, leprosy, and what
not, rs also poisons. Diseases were
looked upon by the writers of these tab
lets, as they are to this day by 'uncivi-
lized people, as evil spirits which took
possession of their victims, and it was
imagined that by the utterance of prop
er words, and by using suitable rites,
they could be expelled, or prevented
from causing mischief, or that good
spirits could be brought to operate
against them.-Ancient Magic.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
Contrast Between Them In Respect to
Land Cultivation.

Land Cultivation.
The case of Flanders is always cited
as an illustration of the benefits Of
peasant proprietorship, and there, it
Is stated, the small farms own more
cattle, yield more produce, and are
more carefully cultivated than the large
farms. 81 have seen in Belgium" says
Mr.. Arnold, "women scratching with
their fingers fair crops of potatoes
from nearly white sand-a miracle OF
agricultural industry, of thrift and OF
perseverance. such ~ belongs only to
peasant propriotOrship.
In France, again, it is said that agri.
cultural land fetches higher price
than in England, and that the largest
clear produce and the best cultivation
are, on the whole, that of the peasant
proprietors NJ Laveleve asserts posi-.
t.velv that the richest and most pro.
ductive provinces in France are those
in which the small land owners are in
majority, and Mr.. Clife Leslie, in
in the chapter he contributes to
the volume on the Systems of Land
Tenure Oh various 1OulltllCS, pun
lished by the Golden Club, has much
to say in the same direction. The reply
to ali this, fairly enough, is. that France
is not England, and that in France there
are special circumstances of soil and
climate-associatod with vine growing,
fruit culture and the like-which render
the country appropriate to ''la petite
culture" p" A peasant proprietor IN
France can, on ten acres of land, make
ends meet and put a little into the fam
lily stocking every year. but it does.
not follow that peasant proprietor OF
ten acres in England could do the same.
1t is all very well to urge market gar
dening, but the demand for garden
produce is not limitless, and is already
abundantly supplied, partly at home,
but mostly from foreign countries more
bourtifuliy qualified by nature for the
purpose.-AU the Year R0und.

Valuable Discoveries Made in Anderson
sTownship, o.
The curious discoveries in the ex-
ploration of the altar mounds in Ander-
son Township, O., are made ell the
more interesting by the fact that native
gold has been found for the first time in
the mounds. Among the numerous
ornaments unearthed, including those
of mica. shell, bears teeth, stone, cop
per, iron and silver, was one small cop
per pendant, covered with Il thin sheet
of gold. Other copper ornaments were
covered with hammered sheets OF native
silver, and the hammered metal brace
lets, the large spool-shaped earrings,
the terra Gotta figures revealing the Pc
culiar methods OF wearing the hair,
show that the fashionable young woman
of Madison Square is not so far apart i'll
ethnologic interest from the mystic
maidcnS Of the altar mounds
as she might suppose. More
over. in thousands of objects of interest
obtained in these mounds there are or
naments which in point of novelty are
not now rivaled. for there are ear orna-
ments made of metcoric iron, plated
with gold. A serpent cut out of mica.
an animal carved from stone, three hum
drcd astragoli of the deer and elk, ap-
parently collected for some important
reason, and unique objects in mica
ceous schist. obsidian chaIccdony and
clicat were found upon these quaint
affairs. Bit by bit, as the leafy mold IS
taken off the footprints of time, there
seems TO come out of darkness glimpses
of a cultured race that passed over this
continent before the North American
Indians came here, burying their dead
in stone boxes, along the Ohio, where
they are now being unearthed.-N. T.
