LINCOLN AND JEFF DAVIS.
Row the Latter Administered the oath
to the Defender of the Union


From the Chicdao Iat4r- Ocean.
The Rev. Or. Harsha, OF Omaha, narrates
the following incident a. told to him by Jonn
Dixon, of Dixon CITY, Ill. Gen. Wingheld Scott

Smelling, at that day, perhaps, the remotest
outpost of the United States. When the
Black Hawk war was inaugurated some mill

service of the United States two lieu

An Amusing Experience.

boldt. The learned eavant, while once on a
visit to Paris, expressed a wish TO his friend,
DR.. Blanche, that he might meet some of, the
latters patients.
Nothing easier" replied the polite physi-
clan; come and dine with me tomorrow"
The next day the illustrious man Of science
sat down at the DOCTORS table with two other
guests personally unknown to him. One of
them was dressed in black, and wore white
cravat and gold spectacles. He was bald
headed; his manner was rather reserved and
distant, but ne looked every inch gentle
man. He, however. bowed, ate ana drank
without saying word.
The other, on the contrary, looked as If he
had risen in haste and not taken time to finish
coat buttoned awry, his shirt open in front,
and the ends OF his Cravat hung over HIS
shoulders. He leaned his elbows on the table
and chartered with the greatest voiubility
while eating.
HIS conversation was q succession of anec
dotes, mixture of romance and RI alIty, IN
which SweCenbOrg is jostled against Fourier
Cleopatra was mixed mp with CamargO
Archlmedes connected with Lamartine, the
Odeon with the Bourse. and the Tuilleries
with the Opera.
During the dessert the Baron leaned over
to his host, and, glancing at this fantastic in
dividual, whispered:
II am much Obliged. Your mailman is
very amusing"
"What?" exclaimed the doctor, in the same
tone. I'M adman2 Why, the other one is the
lunatiC."
The one who doesn't say anything?"
"Certainly."
And who is the other one who talks 80 in
cessantly?"

The Texas Guoernatorial contest is only
little less intense than the Georgia
campaign was a few days ago, but there
are more candidates in the field and some
variety is given 10 the lies that are being
told about them. There promises to be "A
pretty good chance for dark horse. The
Galveston News says: From present
appearances there is not much likelihood
that one-half the delegates TO the State
convention will be instructed. Ross is
still in the lead, but falls far short Of the
figure that would indicate that he will
have a majority-let alone two. thirds--of
the delegates committed to his support.
Martin and Swan are some distance be-
hind Ross. Giddings, considering the late
date Of his entrance 10 the race, is forging
ahead nicely; but the unpledged delegates
Will settle the matter when the conven-

There is one point upon which the APP
preaching state Convention should be
unanimous. 1t is the exclusion OF the
FELTON, delegates from Barlow county.
This delegation represents the so-called
independent Democrats of that county,
who have been doing all they could for the
past fifteen years to break up the organ
lied Democracy. To do this they have
catered TO the Republican and negro vote.
Democrats who slip in and out Of the
party just as it happens to suit their per-
sonal ends or feelings have no right to
recognition either in Democratic conven-
tons or In the distribution Of offices under
Democratic rule.
Neither the Gordon nor the Bacon dele
gates TO the State Convention should
show disposition To give moral
support TO the disorganizers or the
Democratic party in Barlow county by
fayoring the admission Of the FELTON, dele
gates. TO give these delegates recogni-
zion OF any kind would be unjust to the
good and stanch Democrats Of that
county, who for years have fought an
almost hopeless fight against those who,
under the name OF Independents, have at
tempted to break up the Democratic
party.

ISM" as he called it, came into my room
yesterday afternoon, famed himself vigor
ously with his hat and Remarked:
81 shall quit this busineSs!'
''You mean you viii leave the newspaper
business!" | asked
"YeS,' he replied; the truth is, news
papers pay more for legs than they do for
brains"
"Do you mean that you have more brains
than lcgsl1 | asked, with affected surprise
~ mean that | have walked four miles in
the hot sun trying to run down q rumor
and won't pan out five lines"
SO Smith is going to quit the newspaper
business because he has brains to sell, when
the newspapers want nothing but legs OF
course Smiths place viii have to be filled.
That is, q man viii have to be put on when
Smith vacates. The man who stays on will
have legs, but he Will have brains also He
will know, first, what news is That viii re-
ouire brains. Knowing what news is,
Smiths successor will get that news and he
will get it quickly. That will require not
only legs, but it will require perseverance,
and persistence that regards neither distance,
difficulties nor circumstances. Journalism is
one thing, but the newspaper business is al
together something Observation-Disclosures Con-
