JUDGE THURMAN ILL.

NEw YORK, Sept. There was q big crowd ofpeople around the Fifth Avenue Hotel early in the evening, waiting to see Judge Thur man start for the meeting at Madi- son Square Garden. The Judge stayed in his loom so long that peo. pie began to wonder what was the matter. When he finally appeared, ae seemed quite weak. He leaned heavily upon Chairman Barnum aud his son Allen, and trembled eisibly. lis body seemed to lean to the 'ight, and his right leg drag god altttle, as if he were afflicted with rheumatism. He seemed too weak to make an effort b aesnowl- elgo the vociferous cheers of the multitude. He was quickly helped into carriage with Messrs. Buee, Barnum and Allen W. Thumon, and the start for the garden was made. Garrlase ses containing dis. ttneuished Democrats followed. The short nip to the garden was a triamphal tour, the streets being lined with applauding crowds.
 Madison Squ3.o Gardon was fill cd to overhowing within a few minutes after the doors were open ed last evening and thousands of people were turned away, unable to obtain entrance. The interior of tbe building presented pleasing appearance, the bare raiters ana umbers of former days being hld l den by permanent decorations and proiusion of flags beng displayed I for this special occasion. To name the distinguished people present would practically be to name all the leading Democrats ct New ofk and vicinity, together with q large number from other sections oi the country. The most notable were warmly applauded by the crowd n they appeared on tho platform, Governor Hl!l receiving | lions share of ttc demonstration.
 Cappa's band furnished music to entertain the crowd until eight o'clock. when Calvin $. Brice and Raswell |. Fowler appeared, close ly followed by Mr. Thurman, snr rounded by Governor Hill, Gov ernor Green, Hon. ?. A. Collins,

LINCOLN AND THE LITTLE GIRL.
m MI

VIII the world ever know what depth OF tenderness
there was in the heart OF Abraham Lincoln an
anecdote which has never been published brings out
one instance In which his symDathies awakened
by little child noby controlled his action In one OF
tho first skirmshes OF the CIVIL war. young Union
soldier was so severely wounded In the leg that the
limb had to amputated on leaving the hospl a.
the young soldier, By the aid OF influential gentle
men, obtained position as Government ~elghef Oh

his duties his superior officer said TO him:
See here Mr.. Nj. this hay weighs so much on
these scales but to the Government 1t weighs so much
more"
do not understand sir that way of doing business.
| can enter but one weight and that Is the correct
one answered the young weigher.
His superior walked away. utterng threats Inc
young from that day suffered many petty peise-
cutlons for his honesty. and was not long before he
received notice that the Government had no further
need for his service The summary dismissal made
him so down hearted that when he told the story to

went to tho White House, and, after three days or
patient waiting in the ante-room, was admitted to Mr.
Lncoln's presence
The hour for receiving visitors had nearly expired
and as she entered the the President, throwing
himself a lounge, said YEARLY We'll, my little
girl, what can do for you9"
She told her artless story. Mr.. Lincoln listened
attentvely, and with smile asked, Bat how, my
dear, do know that your statement is true?"

"ISAAC" WAS AN OLD STORY.

from The Pltsburg Dispatch.
The daughter of a clergyman in this vicinity, who
had learned to read fairly we'll, recently asked her
fathers permission to read aloud the Bible a poor
old, bedridden woman. Permission granted
and once twice week the little girl took her
Bible and read chapter TO the aged invalid.
A week passed. and the Clergyman himself
paid call upon the old woman, and before he left
he asked her how his daughter progressed reader
Of Holy Writ The old woman replied enthusiastically
that the child angel and had read her some
beautiful passages IN the life of Isaac.
About month later the reading of the Bible having
continued under the same auspices. the clergyman
once moro called upon the old woman. Naturally he
repeated his inquiry 10 his little daughters reading,
ard surprised when the old woman replied ::
Well she reads very nicely. sir, but Pm getting
a little tired of hearing about Isaac"
Doesn't she read from other parts OF tho Bible n
the good minister asked, for he was puzzled.
1t may be other parts, sir. but 1t do all be about
Isaac the old woman made answer.
As soon as he reached home the clergyman called
his youngest daughter TO him and asked her why she
had such preference for the history of Abraham and
Sarah's 6rst-borne. Without the least hesitation the
child replied You csc, papa, can't read well
yet and those long names do bother that /
thought old Mrs. Brown wouldn't mind II / called
all the men Isaac, and that's why"
SO by this simple plan Jehosaphat and Jeroboam
and NebuchadneZzar and Melchsedcc and all the rest
of the polysyllabic surnames had been transformed
into the simple and easy cognomen OF the second OF
