Shortly after his first election to the
presidency he received a pleasant letter
from n little girl living in n small town
in the state of New York. The child
told him that she had seen his picture,
and it was her opinion, as she expressed
it in her artless way, that he 'would be
n better looking man if he would let his
beard grow.n Mr.. Lincoln passed that
NcN. York town on his way to Washing
ton, and his first thought on reaching
The place was about his little correspond
ent. In his brief speech to the people he
made n pleasing reference to the child
and her charming note. ''This littlo
lady, y said he, ''saw from the first that
great improvement might be made in my
personal appearance. You all see that /
am not n very handsome man, and, to be
honest with you, neither l nor any of
NJ friends ever boosted very much about
my personal beauty" He then passed
his hand over his face and continued:
but l intend to follow that little girls
advice, and if she is present 1 would like
to speak to her. The child came for
ward timidly, and was warmly greeted
by tho president-elect. He took her in
his arms and kissed her affe~ctionately,
expressing the hope that he might have
the pleasure of seeing his little friend
again sometime.
Shortly after this Mr.. Lincoln, for the
first time in his life. allowed his beard to
grow all over his face, with the excep-
ton of the upper lip; and this fashion
he continued as long as he lived. In
speaking of the incident which led him
to sport a full beard he afterward re-
marked, refiectively: How small a
thing will sometimes change the whole
aspect of our lives. Ward II. Lamon.

After pursuing his crimes with success and

His explanation was so plausible that he was

LocKlye Az ANcrurn WORLD.

The most wonderful telescope in the world is the
orc icc-ntly mounted in the dome Of the Lick OBJ
ssrTatory, on the summit Of California mountain
II Las already revealed to the astronomers chaTg
out there the appalling yas.pess ofhalinade worlds
nov rolling through distant corners Of the heavens
leaving tsallso fire hindlong enough to encircle
our globe a million tunes Beside the infinite starry
realms recently discovered b. this great instru
:ncnt oar own universe becomes as insignificant SIS
}ia!nes political morality. In speaking of what
the telescope has done toward exploring the moon,
the astronomical pert OF the San Francisco Bulle-
tin says:
The moon Will be one special field Of study. AL
ready some OF TIC finest photographs OF it that have
ming OF tie august moon 1t was determined to take
series Of views Of the great satellite and this has
been done, good view Being secured with the large
Photographic lens eve night. These views of the
DISC are over five inches in diameter,
and show ia marvellous detail all the
elevations and depTesslonS, the volcanoes and
pains This !s the first time series Of views of the
moon has been taken in this manner. Not in
every location can perfect views of the planet be
Obtained for Thirty consecutive nights. 1t is
plapel, after obtaining this series of views to then
make special stndy Of various sections OF the moons
surface, to notice carefully any indications of
changes that may have occurred since the same
sections were examined by other astronomers.
IL is t3e intention Of Director Holden TO make
TINS moon study his especial work With the strong
lnagnitying power that can be applied TO the great
Telescope, sections OF the moons surface will appear
10 the observer as though only about two hundred
miles distant In the glmpses already obtained
certain peculiar dark lines extending in
curves entirely across the disc or radia-
ting from the apparent pole have been noted. Close
examination shows chat these lines slightly ele-
waited ridges and the theory Is that they mark
lngs Of old cracks in the plnnet that have been
filed gradually until they are somewhat higher
than the surrounding surface. These lines will be
closely studied, as well all the region about The
great volcano Copernicus The results Of ali these
close sectional studies will be noted on carefully
students.
Even to the visitor, the tyro in astronomical
science, glimpse Of the moon is an impressive
sight. The power ordinarily applied makes the
moon appear rs though about 600 miles distant
There is seen great silver surface with lights and
shadows from elevations and depressions clear and
distinct. Extinct volcanoes and mountainous
ridges, wide pains scared ami blisered, white and
rough, are clearly seen; indication of life moth
ing but evident death everywhere; no sign of vese-
ta!ion, Of wator or artificial changes of surface

Pat Flanagan's company, L, Twenty-fourth Mis-
souri, infantry, and had been detailed as clerk in

days battle of Franklin supply trains were
needed closer to the front, and Captain Flanagan
sent me on horseback to so advise General Allen,
chief quartermaster on General Thomass staff
While passing over the field of battle
my horse was wounded and l dismount-
ed At that moment l heard the
voice of one calling Tor aid. l approached and
found man wearing the uniform OF major-gen-
eral of the confederate army. He was dangerously
hurt even dying. sat down by his side, lifted up
his head and held 1t on my left arm. Ian'lied my
canteen to his lips and be empted it. II turned
his eyes towards me and asked who yas nd how
happened to come to his assistance. Is The dying
general spoke a soldier who knew him came up.
He, too was confederate. and like the officer, was
wounded. asted him who the mau was whose
head held, and he answered: "Thats Pat Cleburne
of Mississippi" BY that time the general was un-
conscious and he died within half an hour. His
last words nobody heard but myself They were
faint but distinct: "Hurrah for the confederacy!"

THE CHANGE

Last evening the long expected change
in the city marshalshiD took place About
1890 the officers commenced TO arrive:
shortly afterwards the three police com
misSiOners took their seats and then few
spectators filed in and leaned upon the
railing in front of the judges bench. At
u o'clock the retiring marshall, w. w.
Haynes. handed over the keys and other
insignia Of his office TO the commissioners
with the remark that he hoped the gentle
men would have success with their new
administration. For himself he said that
while he did not want 10 cause the force
the least bit of trouble, he was going
10 have good time Cor the night and in
vlted his friends down TO have some beer
The badge was then given by Dr. Martin
TO the new marshall, Tom Mcnamara, and
the police were asked to give their support
10 the new officer. The roll of the force
was called; Haynes and few OF his friends
ran down stairs, the police went off to
their respective beats and so the change
was made.
Tom AcNamars, the new marshal.
needs no introduction to the peopIe of
Wichita, for he has lived here for the last
twelve years. He has served the CITY ss
police officer, detective and special watch
man and has throughout proved himself
an able and valiant officer, and a high
minded, worthy man.
1t is stated that other changes in the force
will before long be made

FOR FORGERY.

A young colored lawyer c. NJ Smith
was yesterday arrested upon the charge OF
forgery placed first in the city prison by
Officers Williams and Calvert and after
wards committed to the county Jail, in de-
fault of $500 bond, by Justice Walker.
He was arrested while waiting for the
payment upon check of S153 which he
had presented at the Citizens bank. The
paper was signed NJ. Crusenbery and was
rather bunglesome piece of forgery.
Smith had about week before presented
at the same bank a check for S55 made
payable to ga. w. Williams or ORDER and
signed with the name of W. f.
Stanley. This work was rather cleverly
executed and he managed to have it
paid when presented. 1t was this success
that no doubt lead to the venture that
caused his arrest. 1t was stated last even
ing Just after Smith had been up before
Justice Walker, that there were evidently
other paper of a similar character afioat
and developments would soon be forth
coming. 1t was discovered that Smith
had on deposit in bank of this city about
s40O; the amount was Immediately gar
nished and thus the bank will not come
out the loser.
Smith is the only colored lawyer in this
city and one of the few in the state He
came here about six months ago, opened
an office on the third floor of the Scott
Eckert building on North Main, but has
not had an eminently successful pro-
fessional career. He had prepared HIM
self for the practice at the University of
