Among the many stories Lincoln used 70
relate was the following: Trudging along a
lonely road one morning on my way TO tho
county seat Judge overlook me with his
wagon and invited me TO a seat.
We had not gone far before the wagon be-
gan 10 wobble. Said /, "Judge, think your
coachmRn has taken drop too much.
Putting his head out Of the window, che
judge shouted: 'why, yon Internal scoun-
drel, you are drunkw
Turning around with great gravity, the
coachman said: "Be dad but that's the frs
rightful s'cision your Honor's giv'n N twer
montl"
Ifpeople knew the facts they would be sur
prised to learn how many people reel in the
streets who never "drink drop They are
the victims Of sleeplessness, OF drowsy days,
of apoplectic tendencies, whose blood is set
on fire by uric acid. Some day they will reel
no more-they will drop dead, just because
they haven't the moral courage TO defy use
less professional attendance, and by use OF
the wonderful Warmers safe cure neutralize
the uric acid in the system and thus get rid
of the drunkenness in the blood THE

Natives Of Borneo eat monkeys and tie

The Patagonians, including both sexes,
have an average stature OF five feet ten
inches, according to Mr.. IL. Hale, who
considers that the adoption of equestrian
habits has shortened the legs of the peo-
pie two inches in two centuries, their
former heighth averaging six feet.
Evidence of the prevalence Of canni-

tants of Portugal has been discovered on
the Peniche peninsula, where also has
been found a skull on which some early
surgeon appears to have used his stone

trepanning.
There seems to be some foundation for
the superstition that it is unlucky to be
one of social party of thirteen. The
Lancet and Clinic quotes Quetelet as say
ing that, taking thirteen persons of diff
ferent ages, the probabilities are that one
death will occuramong them in the year.
OF course the circumstance is likely to
take place whether the thirteen persons
meet together or not.

Building stones that have fallen from
passing wagons, cobble stones, pebbles,
or bricks are his especial prey. BY
nightfall his cart is usually filled with a
load worth dollar or so at least.

Lee in Pennsylvania.


Up to Monday evening, June 20,
neither Lee nor Longstreet knew of the
whereabouts of Hooker's army. But
late in the evening on that day ragged,
weather beaten Confederate soldier was
seen lurking around Longstreet's head
quarters. The appearance and conduct
of the man excited some suspicious,
but on his claiming to know General
Longstreet, and that he had important
communications to make to him, he was
at once taken to Longstreet's tent. AS
soon as Longstreet put his eyes on him
he graspsd The poor soldier by the hand,
and, shaking it heartily, said: Good
Lord, am glad to see you'll / thought
you were killed." He proved to be the
brave and faithful scout, Harrison, that
Longstreet had sent into the Federal
lines while his corps was still in Gull
pepper county, Virginia. Longstreet
examined him on the spot, and from this
man he received the first information
that the Federal army had crossed the
Potomac at Edwards ferry, and its ad-
vance lad reached Frederick City, Mary
land. He sent the scout to General Lee,
by q staff officer, and followed himself
soon after.
Longstreet, in one of his contributions
to the "Annsls of the War;" page 419,
in speaking of this very mans appear
ance on the night as stated, says:
''Late on Monday evening, June 30,
scout named Hrrrison, who had been
sent by me into the Federal lines to OBJ
tain information, while our army was
yet in Culpepper county, Virginia, came
to my headquarters at Chambersburg,
and reported that the Union army had
crossed the Potomac at Edwards Ferry,
aad his advance was at Frederick City,
Maryland"
General Longstreet saw at a glance
that the information brought by this
scout was of vast importance, and might
involve momentous consequences. In
this connection, a little further on,
Longstreet says:
''We had not heard from the enemy
for several days, and General Lee and
myself were in doubt as to where he
was. Indeed, we did not know that he
all knowledge of the position of the
Federal army, General Lee had issued
orders to General Ewell for an attack on
Harrisburg, part of whose corps was,
on that very night, Monday, June 30,
near the intrenchments, on the west
bank of the Susquehanna; but ON re-
ceiving the information brought by this
scout he at once countermanded the
order and directed Ewell and all his
other generals to concentrate at Gettys-
burg"
The work of concentration was begun
at once. We thus see that the capture
of the capital of Pennsylvania was one
of the objects contemplated by the com
manding general lie knew that no
regular or efficient force was there to de-
fend it. And he also knew that the raw
militia could effect little or nothing
against Ewel's veteran troops.-SOuth-

White Men at a Disc0nnt.

In some respects the natives of India
appear to possess greater aptitude than
the European, but it is something new
to hear of white men Disgusting them
selves as Hindoos in order to obtain en-
ployment. This, however, has actually
taken place in Australia The ship
ments OF horses thence to India are
large, and Indian Syces are in request
for their care upon the voyage. The other
day an Australian shipper of horses had
been unable to obtain Indian grooms.
The horses were on board ship, and the
vessel was to sail in two days time. He
was thus delighted to see boat coming
off with two black men. They were
brought into the cabin to sign the usual
agreement, when it was discovered they
were white men, with their faces and
hands artistically blackened after the
fashion of the negro minstrel. The run
ner, or man catcher, thought the ship
was just leaving, and that he could run
his men through in the hurry. There
must be dearth of employment indeed
in Australia when white men are found
willing 10 color their faces in order to
obtain situations at the by no means

MakIngaDolIar.

At the corner of Chestnut and Juniper
streets, in Philadelphia, is a square, ugly
building with a bed OF two of red
geraniums in front, and United States
flag flying overhead. In the centre of
this building, in an open courtyard, are
piled-up crates covered with stout wire
net, and guarded by men under arms.
These crates contain partially refined
silver ore from Colorado, and the value
of each is about a thousand dollars.
Some thirteen or fourteen thousand
pounds of silver is melted every day, and
comes out of the grimy smelling room
in glitterlng ingots. These long bars
are held each in turn under the topping
machine, which is a heavy steel shaft
with knife edge that smooths off the
ends of the metal bars as easily as if it
were pairing an apple. Bhe ingots then
have the shape, aud good deal the ap-
pearance, of a bar of white cream candy
in the confectioners' jars Each one is
next put under rollers, like dough, and
flattened out to the thickness of a dol
lar. The precious dough is then heated
and handed over to gigantic cook made
of revolving wheels and steel bars, who
swiftly cuts it into tiny biscuit, two
hundred and fifty in the minute. These
little cakes are seized by another ma
chine which mills the edges, and then
pass into trough filled with acid to
wash them, and from that to a revolving
tub of sawdust. They are now smooth
bright discs of silver with milled edges.
The press which makes them into coins
is like monstrous dumb, intelligent
creature. 1t is waited on by pretty
young girl who drops the discs into a
long tube, from which this dumb mon
ster (who seems to be thinking of some
thing greater than its work. picks each
one out with its claw-like fingers, places
it between its lips, on one of which is a
head of Liberty, and the other an eagle.
The mouth shuts on it with terrific force,
and spits it forth, dollar.
Each dollar is weighed, and if too light
or too heavy, is rejected, and sent back
to the melting furnace.
The government is thrifty manufac-
turer; the fragments, we may be sure,
are carefully gathered up, that nothing is
lost. The pieces out of which the coins
are cut, and the silver filings from the
milling machine, all go back, of course,
to be melted over. The floors and walls
of the mint are covered with iron graf
ing, through which the scrar rings and
precious dust sift. These amount in
value to thirty or forty thousand dollars
year. AT certain intervals the grating
itself is melted down, and yields its prey
of the precious metal. - Youths Com
