Result of the Division Vote,

Gov. Church OF Dakota issued procla-
nation as to the result OF the November
election on division. The law authorizing
the vote required each country to make q
certificate OF the returns to the governor.
These returns were not all received till the
10th inst. which explains the delay OF
the governors action. The proc]ama.
ton shows 37.7S4 votes cast for di.
vision and 32,913 against. The dis
crepancy between these returns and those
made to the secretary is explained par.
italy by errors made in tho certificates OF
the county clerks to the governor. and the
fact that in Ward county two distinct sets
OF returns were received, one in which
the three disputed precincts in Minot were
counted over with these omitted.

freezing, during exceptionally cold
weather in those states, is not likely to

=. Eyes. sir I have. / want to say1 am

spoke are lies.
The prisoner trembled as he spoke these
words. His emotion was not apparent in
his speech, although they were not uttered
in q manner at oil emphatic.
The judge then addressed Barrett. His
final words we're these:

The War Is Killing Me,

1t has been said, with some show OF
probability, that before Mr.. Lincoln left
Illinois he, as well as others, had pre-.
sentiment that he would fall by the hand
of violence. "There would be small
cause for wonder" says Mr.. Stoddard, ''if
all that is related of this matter were
infinitely true; still smaller occasion
would there be to regard SO very reason
able an impression as at all prophetic or
supernatural. The strong impression
spoken Of during the dark days that fol-
lowed was of another sort and was equally
reasonable. To one friend he said: 1.-The
springs of life are wearing away, and
shall not last 70 another, in apology
for telling humorous story: IF it were
not for this occasional rest / should die"
To another: Il feel a prcsentimcnt that
l shall not outlast the rebellion; when it
is over my work will be done" To an
other: "Whichcver way it may end, l feel
that shall not last long after it is over"
In 1864 Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe asked
him what policy he proposed to pursue
after the war. With a mouruful sort Of
smile he replied: after the war? l shall
not he troubled about that. The war is
killing me-" Men looked into his face
day by day and saw there something they
could not understand. 1t gave them the
idea of n man in suppressed pain. and they
were apt to turn away with little inclina-
ton to find fault.

Lincoln - a llorse Trader.

Mr.. Lincoln once figured as a horse
trader, and it need hardly be told that he
came out ahead. He and certain judge
got to bantcring one another about trad
ing horses, and it was agreed that tho
next morning at 9o'c!ock they should
make trade, the horses to be unseen up
to that hour, and no backing out under Il
forfeit of SIS. AT the hour appointed,
tAe judge came up, leading the sorriest
looking specimen of n nag ever seen in
those parts. In Il few minutes Mr.. Lin
coin was seer approaching with wooden
sawhorSe upon his shoulders. Great were
the shouts and the laughter of the crowd,
and these increased w.Icn Mr.. Lincoln,
surveying the jx'lge's animal, set down
his sawhorse and exclaimed: well,
judge, this is the first time ! ever got the
worst of il in Il horse trade"

Numbered with "reminiscences Of
Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abraham
Lincoln, is one furnished by William G.
Green, 1t is here given in MI. Green
own words:
''In 1tcj was going to kentucky, and
at the request Of Abe Lincoln carried a
letter to his father, who lived in Coles
county, HIS, at the head of the Ambraw
river. When got to the place, the old
mans house looked SO small and humble
that felt embarrassed, until he received
me with much heartiness, telling ME what
handy house he had, and how conven-
tently it was arranged. 1t was n log
house, and some of the logs stuck out two
or three feet from the wall at the corners.
He said that he could dress his deer us he
killed them, and hang them OH the pro-
jecting logs, and could tic his horse to
them. TIE old man inquired how his son
was getting along. He said Abe was a
good boy, but lie was afraid he would
never amount to much; he had taken a
notion to study law, and these men wero
generally dedicated" to do wrong.
