Mrs. LIncOIn's Last Years.

Mrs. Lincoln, the wife of the martyr
president, returned from Europe in Oc-
tober, 1880, and went to Springfield,
Illinois, where she was the guest of her
sister, Mrs. Edwards. During the fol-
lowing holiday season she shut herself
up in her room, mourning the extrava.

about her who displayed gifts of jewelry
and the like, and there she stayed, like
a veritable silk-worm in It's self-woven
cocoon, for many months. What did
she do there all that time? Principally,
she overhauled her many trunks, com.
planned that she was very sick, and ate
full meals of substantial food three times
a day. She reconciled iii health and
hearty eating by insisting to the few
friends whom she admitted that heI
malady was peculiar one, compelling
her to consume large quantities of food
She would rise from a repast of roast
beef, coffee, etc, and very dejectedly
inform her attendant, or visitor, that in
all human probability she would not see
the light of another day, and often, in
literal verifcation of her prophecy, she
would close the window shutters, in
crease the opaqueness of the curtains by
pinning up shawls or quilts, and light
plain tallow candle. She rejected the
use of gas as of the devil If asked to
specify where she felt bad in body, she
would reply some times: I'm on fire,
burning up; just feel of me, and see how
hot l am" At the same time her TEN
perature would appear perfectly normal

other times she would insist that she
was "being all hacked to pieces by
knives; just feel that cash in my shout

commiserating friends assured her that
there was no trace of either blood OF

so that her relatives were forced to pre-
sent her to the probate court and to ask
an order that she might lie committed to

He had logical mind, though it was
rather too metaphysical for ordinary use.
He was learned in some rare depart
ments of the law, carefully studied the
United States Constitution. was a cool
and lucid speaker, but he did not sue
coed in his profession in Massachusetts.
This was in the growing days of the
Liberty party, in the years 1843 and
1874. Andrews held that slavery was
repugnant to fair construction of the
Federal Constitution. He supported
this view by powerful arguments. The
Executive Committee of the Liberty
party was in the habit of sending agents
through the State in couples to hold
meetings. 1t employed Mr.. Andrews
and the Rev. Frederick P. Tracy, a
young Methodist preacher, whose ora
tory was more glowing and declamatory
than learned and logical. Andrews
had prepared and committed to memory
q long speech in defence of his cOnstitu-
tional opinions on the question of slav-
cry, which he used to deliver very de-
liberately, and then Tracy would close
with one of his laundering Methodist
cal performances. lie had heard An
drew's speech so often that he knew it
by heart. One evening at a large meet
ing in the western part of the State,
Tracy proposed that he lead off, and
that Andrews follow with his constitu-
tional argument. Tracy then arose, de-
livered Andrews speech word for word,
and sat down. 1t would be difficult to
determine whether Andrews was the
more amazed to see the wind taken out
of his sails in this way, or the audience
at hearing such an address from the lips
of a shouting young Methodist preach

printed of the first volume to fill these
orders, as a number fell out through in
evitable loss attendant upon the sub
scription system of selling books. Not
every one who bought the first volume
has taken the second. The publishers
estimate that 100000 will supply the
first demand for the second book. Other
editions will be printed to meet the fu-
turc demands Over 600, 900 volumes
have been sold. l understood from a
friend of the publishers that the sale of
this book will net to Mrs Grant in the
neighborhood of $3.50, 900. She receives
$1.4O upon each volume. Gen. Grant

whom books were to be given as coming
from him. Out of this small number

A Minister'S Mistake.

The ancient town of Medford, the
seat of the old Lawrence distillery, has
for many years been famous for the ex-
cellent quality of its spirituous product,
which has been attributed to the purity
of Its water and the pains taken in pre-
pairing and refining it. So great is its
reputation among the trade that the
term "Old Medford" is now applied to
all choice grades of rum improved by
age. But the late Rev. Charles Brooks,
an Orthodox clergyman, who many
years ago was the esteemed and talented
pastor of large society in that town,
was IMMERSED in bar-room literature,
and a connoisseur only in communion
wine. So it happened one time that he
was induced to attend a special town
meeting, called 20 consider some matter
of local interest to the citizens; and the
proposition before it meeting his cor
dial appreciation, he got up and made a
rousin2 speech IN its favor, just before
the vote was taken, winding up with
the emphatic declaration, 81 do love old
Medford." OF course his patriotic SEN
timent was greeted with rounds of APP
plause, mingled, however, with such
boisterous laughter as to irritate the I'M
sophisticated parson, and led him to
think that his sincerity was discredited.
So he turned fercely upon his auditors
and exclaimed with no little warmth:
''Well, do, gentlemen, whether you
believe it or not.
This brought down the house with
uproarious merriment and cries of ''Good
for you, 1--WE don't doubt your word,
SIR" ''Do you take it straight" care
you going to shout?" And it was not
until one of his Pensioners came to the
rescue that the bewiIdered parson was
able to comprehend the misconstruction
put upon his remarks.-Boston CONNER

Making a New Business.

During the business depression OF hve
years ago, a man called one morning at
the basement door of house in the
upper part of the city, with u basket on
his arm. The servant who answered
his knock supposed he was beggar'
but something in the mans appearance
when he asked for ''the lady OF the
house" forced her TO ask her mistress,
who was in the kitchen, to step to the
door. The man removed his hat, ana
then uncovered the contents OF ms
basket-delicious white, round, codtlSh
balls, ready for frying. He told ms
story He was a bookkeeper, but the
firm had failed, and he was without
position, and had been for months His
wife, a New England girl, was an excel
lent cook, and had decided to make
two dozen Goldfish balls, if he would
take them round and try to sell them.
Here he was. The price was five cents
apiece, and they cost about four; If he
sold the two dozen he would make
twenty-five cents, and that was more
than he had earned in months. Half
of the quantity were bought at once and
a note written to neighbor urging her
to become customer for the balance
and a partner in drumming up other
customers if the fish cakes proved to be
as good as they looked. The man went
away, with the promise of help if his
goods deserved it. He was to call the
next day for the decision. The two
women reserved part of their purchase
to cook and distribute to their friends
and neighbors, on the ground that "the
proof of the pudding is the eating"
The fishballs were delicious, and i'm
mediately after breakfast each woman
cooked the balance of her purchase, de-
posted the ishballs in baskets and
went about among her friends to get
orders for the man. The result was
that the third weekly delivery in the
neighborhood was from a hand cart
pushed by stout German boy, while
the proprietor attended to his custom
ers. In two months he had to deliver
certain days in certain districts, he had
so many orders; besides, he kept
stock on hand at his house at all times.
In one year the lower part of house
was given up to the business, and res
taurants, as well as private families,
were his customers
A friend of the first man, in the same
financial condition, whose wife made
good bread, came one morning with the
seller of the Goldfish balls having small,
lovely loaves of bread which he sold at
five cents per loaf He, too, made so
many customers by the superiority of
his bread that six months later found
him delivering bread and rolls from a
wagon. The bread remained the same
delicious home made bread, made by
his wife and women whom she trained;
twice a week he delivers tea biscuit.
Both men have in five years time

Does Not Believe Them.

Stor es of the occurrence of petrifed
flesh, of frogs and toads inclosed in
solid rock and other fables of the same
nature, frequently appear in the daily
and weekly papers. One not dissimilar,
though vastly more absurd, of the find
ing of two living bats imbedded in a
solid lump of bituminous coal from a
coal mine in Maryland is now going the
rounds, and will probably not rest till
the press from Maine to California has
given publication to it. There was said
to have been no crevice admitting the
entrance of these wonderful bats, ana
that Their, was a clearly formed impress
sion left by them The inference-no,
the only ICON lusion'-is that these
hoary chiropterans are living remnants
of the conforming age. 1t was not
long ago that just such story was told
of an ancient toad in another coal mine,
only this time the carboni erous batra-
chan had become, as was naturally ex-
Pected, very much desicated. 1t is very
strange with what persistence such
myths and fables retain their hold on
popular credence. Men of high intel
hgence will aver their belief IN petrlfed
h imam bodies, and we have known a
shrewd bust ess man to exhibit what
he firmly believed was large mass of
fossil buffalo flesh, sinews. muscles,
blood and all What more natural
thing could there be than the finding
of a toad or bat, dead, alternating or
active, in the crevices of q coal mine
and yet, doubtless, to one wholly unac-
quainted with geological and geological
principles, carboniferous fossil fish OF
living bat seems equally inexplicable
and wonderful. Such fancifuI flights
of imagination might pass unnoticed
were they not so industriously circu-
lated in the columns of even the highest
class of metropolitan newspapers. -
