How 10 Learn a Iangnare.

The Nolapuk craze seems to have run
its course and died. and everybody has
made up his mind that we have mo- vet
got the world language. If people only
knew how easy il is TO learn French OF
German on Italian there would be less Of
these foolish attempts TO force an I'M
known tongue upon the world. To get
along as well as there is any necessity l.
a foreign country you do not need more
than 1000 or 1900 words, Think
how easy it is TO get these words in
your memory. That mean less than
the number Of words in an average
newspaper column, and ii is really the
fact that you IA get enough Of French,
say, to get along with as easily us you
can memorize a column in the daily
newspaper. II is so with German and
with Italian. You get the grammatical
construction and then all you have TO do
is TO make yourself a vocabulary.
The trouble is that people imagine
learning a strange tongue is 50 hard that
they will not attempt it in a common
sense way, but they shrink from the diff
ficulties which only exist in their own
~imaginations. Cardinal Mczzofauti

Origin OF ''old Hickory

The story Of how Gen. Andrew Jack
son got the name of Old Hickory is again
going the rounds. and will be new to
some young readers. During the Creek
war he had a bad cold, and his soldiers
made for him a shelter Of hickory bark.
The next morning a tipsy soldier, not
knowing who was under the bark, kicked
it over. AS the general, speechless with
rage, struggled out Of the ruins, the SOL
der yelled, Hello, Old Hickory Come
out of your bark and take a drink
When the soldiers saw Jackson shaking
the bark from his uniform they gave
three cheers for ''Old Hickory" and the
name stuck.-New York Sun.

Lincoln,s Last Laugh.

new OK Asylum.
Mr.. George Van Duzer, of this city, has
presented to the Grand Lodge Library a
portion of the collar worn by Abraham
Lincoln at the time of his assassination.
Mr.. Van Duzer was present at Ford's Thea
ter on that fatal night, and relates the fol-
lowing incident
The army under General Lee having
surrendered to General Grant few days
previously, Secretary Stanton, on the 18th
of April, 1865, telegraphed to Governor
John A. Dix to stop the draft, as 1t was
considered that the war was virtually over.
At Ford's Theater, Washington, ID. c.,
on the evening of April i, 1865, the play
of '0ur American Cousin" was being en-.
acted. In the scene, just before the fatal
shot OF the assassin, garden settee was
standing On the stage opposite the Presi-
dents box. Mary Meredith Zone of the
chara cters in the playl followed by Lord
Dundreary with her shawl thrown over
his arml came upon the stage, and the lady
took seat upon the settee. CHANGING over
first one shoulder and then the other, she
exclaimed:
my Lord, will you please be 30 kind as
to throw that shawl over my shoulders?
There appears to be such a draft here"
Lord Dundreary Immediately replied:
"You are mistaken, Miss Mary-there is
no draft. The draft is all over"
The President instantly saw the point
and laughed very heartily, as did the entire
audience, who arose and cheered, In fe y
moments more the assassin had done his
work, and nation was in tears.

No Longer a Dfystery.


LIBERTY, March The disappearance
of Noah Brown, of this city, Is no longer
as mysterious as it was. He left this place
over two weeks ago to 90 to Cincinnati on
business, and failing to report at home
after several days his friends thought he
had been murdered, and invoked the aid
of the Cincinnati police to solve the disap-
pearance. Facts have been brought out
showing that he is forger, having issued
q note for $40 on his father-in-law Theo
zimmerman. and another note on Rufus
Brown, his uncle, prominent farmer near
this place, for $3.50. These notes he sold to
a broker in Franklin county the day be-
fore his departure. He also cashed his sale
notes, and had on his person when he
left about 81, 600 in clear cash. Besides
these Irregularities, he owes bills all over
the town, disposiDg OF property not his
OWE and pocketing the cash.
The news of his criminality fell like q
bomb in the camp of his friends, who hon.
cred and trusted him at all times. He was
prominent m amber OF the ". E. Church
and man OF very regular habits He left
g vile, nearly blind, and three small chill
dren in destitute circumstances. Before
be left he gave his wife 81 10 buy provis.
ions until he returned.
By many it is thought he has gone to
join the band of numerous other American
crooks in Canada. An effort will be made
to bring him back to Justice. The COM
munity is surprised and excited, especially
those who hold his now worthless paper.

Breaking Uo BAD Habits.

GREENcAsTLE, March 2.-An explanation
is due the fraternity OF DePsuw University
for the recent orders affecting the habits OF
the students outside of the institution.
These orders relate to students boarding at
hotels, and forbid young ladies accom-.
panying their escorts to restaurants for tbs
purpose OF spending an evening or visiting
the fraternity halls at night. The necessity
for this sclion will appear when it is
known that one or two male students. who
had disguised Themselves simply as hotel
1oafers and for consequent inefficiency as
students, were dismissed from the institu-
zion, after repeated failures TO subj sct
them to it's discipline. 1t is known also
that whisky has been served to students at
restaurants, and that young ladies have
visited the fraternity halls and remained
until unreasonable hours, under circum-
stances that were likely to compromise
their good name.

Judge Rearan.s Anecdote.

In Defending the Postoffice Department from
Senator Plumb's Charges OF Bad Service.
Senator Reagan.-Mr. President, 1 am
not given to telling anecdotes, but I am
tempted in the presence of this great body
to illustrate my idea of the situation of the
Senator from Kansas by telling short an
ecdote. Here come half q dozen Senators
attacking the Postoffice Department; the
newspapers of the country are attac king
the department; q simultaneous attack is
made in the other House, and the Senator
is astonished that any one should think of
defending the department. He reminds
me OF two small boys who were together,
and one of them cried out, Mamma,
mamma, won't you come here and make
Bill behave himself?" "Why, Johnny,
what has been done?' Every time
strike him on the head with my hammer
he squalls out!" Laughter. So l sup
pose the Senator from Kansas had the
hammer in his hand, and he thinks the
department ought never to "squalI," how
ever many times he hits 1t on the head.
