one American,xea Ch,naman.

Portland has a Chinaman who has
set up his own private carriage, and it
would be safe to bet that no other city
in America can say the same; proba-
bly, no city in the world can, for it is
not customary for even the Emperor
OF China, or any OF his grandees, to
use horses or carriage. The man re-
ierred TO is Seid Back, a well-known
Front street merchant. who was seen
taking an airing in a neat road cart,
behind quiet pony, which he lately
purchased.
Seid Back has not only invested in a
horse and carriage, but has several
valuable pieces OF real estate in the
city; owns stock in several corpora
tlons which yield handsome dividends,
and is among the subscribers to the
new hotel. lie is well known and
has good standing among business
men.-Portland Oregonian.

Spanish Executions.

Spanish executions are run in a
somewhat peculiar way. On the llth
inst. young woman, her lover and
an accomplice were garroted in Mad
rid, the first executions there within
five years. Twenty-four hours before
the time fixed for their death they
were first told when they would cease
to live. Then they were taken TO the
prison chapel and kept there until
they were marched to the scaffold.
One of the condemned was so violent
in his terror that it required six ward
ers to dress him and get him out OF
his cell. In the chapel they received
hundreds OF visitors, received all the
food and drink they wanted and spent
part OF their time, when the wine had
nerved them up, and between prayers,
in playing cards. The scaffold upon
which they were throttled was erected
in the prison yard, but higher than
the walls, so that the 10000 spectators
gathered in the streets might enjoy
the spectacle. Finally, the dead
bodies were kept exposed to the pub
lie gaze until sunset.-N. Y. Sun.

E.saying .he Knock Out Blow.

"Tne reason why SO many pugilists
are breaking their arms in fights. said a
local boxer, sis found in their crazy
recklessness to get in Knockout blow.
This blow is aimed at the jugular vein,
and the pugilist, in attempting to accom-.
plish this feat, often strikes too high,
driving his hand with terrific force against
his opponents skull and swapping the
big bone in his wrist as though it were q
pipe stem. 1t often happens, too, that
the pugilist essaying the knock out blow
drives his hand against his opponents
elbow, which has been thrown up as a
guard. This proves almost as disastrous
to the aggressor as the Uranium hit. 1t
is time this swinging knock out blow
was discarded. A straight punch from
the shoulder was good enough for old
timers. 1t ought to be good enough
now"

"wHY DON'T THEY GOMEZ,
a Touching Incident fn the Life
Of Abraham Lincoln.

The following touching incident is
told for the first time in the Century's
Lincoln history, April installment
Lincoln, by nature and habit so
calm, SO equable, so undemonstratiye
nevertheless passed this period Of in
terrupted communication and isola-
tion from the North in a state OF nery-
GUS tension which put all his great
powers Of mental and physical endur-
ance to their severest trial. General
Scott's reports, though invariably ex-
pressing his confidence in successful
defense, frankly admitted the evident
danger; and the President, with his
acuteness Of observation and his rap
idity and correctness OF inference, lost
no single one OF the external indica-
tions Of doubt and apprehension. Day
after day prediction failed and hope
was deferred; troops did not come,
ships did not arrive, railroads re-
mained unbroken, messengers failed
TO reach their destination. That fact
ibHCii Niidt llt WIS tIl~
vironed by the unknown-and that
whether Union or a Secession army
would first reach the capital was at
best an uncertainty. To a coarse or
vulgar nature such a situation would
have brought only one OF two feelings
either overpowering personal fear or
overweening bravado. But Lincoln,
almost giant in physical stature and |
strength, combined in his intellectual |
nature a masculine courage and power |
of logic with a sentimental tenderness
as delicate as a woman's, and an ideal |
sensitiveness of conscience. This |
Presidential trust which he had as
sumed was TO him not mere regalia
of rank and honor. Its terrible du-
ties and responsibilities seemed rather /
a coat OF steel armor, not only heavy |
to bear, but cutting remorselessly into
the quick flesh. That one of the sue
cessors OF Washington should find |
himself even to this degree in the |
hands OF his enemies was personally |
humiliating; but that the majesty-ef
a great nation should be thus insulted |
and its visible symbols of authority |
be placed in jeopardy; above all, that
the hitherto glorious example OF the
Republic to other nations should stand |
in this peril Of surprise and possible
sudden collapse, the Constitution be
scoffed and jeered, and human free
dom become once more a by-word and
must have begot in
him an anxiety approaching torture.
In the eyes OF his countrymen and OF
the world he was holding the scales OF
national destiny he alone knew that
for the moment the forces which made
the beam vibrate with such uncer-
tainty were beyond his control. In
others society he gave no sign of these
inner emotions. But once, on the
afternoon of the 23d, the business of
The day being over, the Executive
office deserted, after walking the floor
alone in silent thought for nearly half
an hour, he stopped and gazed long
and wistfully out Of the window down
the Potomac in the direction Of the ex-
pected ships; and, unconscious OF any |
presence in the room, at length broke
out with irrepressible anguish in the |
exclamation, Why don't |
they comet Why don't they comet"

A vENrUREsOME CLInBER.
Mr.. A. l.. Eek. Feat I'm strnddffnE
George washing toms statue.

A man six feet two inches in hight,
stood yesterday afternoon on the right
shoulder of George Washington's
statue on top OF the Washington mon
ument, and, with his right hand on
his heart, lifted his hat with his left
hand and made a sweeping bow to the
ladies' on Charles street ascending
the hill on which the monument
stands. II was Mr.. August l.. Eek,
who had asccnded to his elevated po-
sition TO put new platinum point on
the lightning rod, four feet above
washington's head, the old point hav-
ing been struck by lightning some
time during the year, and somewhat
melted.
Mr.. Eek went up TO the portico by
the interior steps, and from the por-
tco TO the rounded portion OF the
monument, below the statue, by
means Of ladder. lie then took
hold of the lightning-rod and climbed
up the step-like arrangement OF the
dome to the heels OF the surmounting
statue. The lightning-rod and the
folds of the garments of the statue
were his means of ascent TO the
shoulder OF Washington. When he
got to the shoulder he straddled it and
hugged the head of the Father OF His
Country until rested, when he stood
upright, one hand resting upon Wash
ington's head. Mr.. Eek drew up his
tools by means OF q small cord carried
about his waist. 1t was breezy up so
high, and the adventurous man most
OF the time held on closely. Mr..
Eek suffered from constant con-
tact with the marble, as the day was
cold. Chilly weather makes such
feats more dangerous, as gloves can
not be worn, and chilled hands are not
TO be fully depended upon.
1t took exactly nineteen minutes
TO make the ascent from the portico,
set the point and return to the portico.
The ascent vas easier than the de-
scent, because the climber could see
his hands and holds, but had to feel
with his feet for holds when coming
down. Mr.. Eek says he never gets
nervous or dizzy or feels concerned
about himself. lie was born in Balti'
more, and has made numerous climbs
In many of the chief cities OF the
country. He put the lightning rods
on the Washington monument, at
Washington, ID. G.. lie has had sew
eral severe falls. In 1880, in Sparta
Tenn, he fell sixty-one feet, and ir
this city he fell ffom the tower To the
roof OF the malt-house. corner of Con
way and Hanover streets, distancC
OF thirty-nine feet. He bears the
marks OF some of his falls. His helper
John Behrens, is ambitious and is salt
to be one of the coming climbers
