Told she Truth By Mistake.

One OF the county officers is
obliged TO occasionally close his
Office TO go TO meals or TO transact
outside business. Not content with
imposing the old chestnut back in
o few minutes" on his door, be
racked nis brain TO think OF some
thing that would be more classical
and mean the same thing. Here is
where he was imposed upon. An
other official, distinguished more for
his knowledge OF Latin than for his
bump OF reverence, recommended
thu. the county officer place on his
door q sign which should read as
follows: "Ofice hours, inter
pocula," giving q translation entirely
foreign to actual meaning. The Off
Ger was delighted and the legend re-
NAMED on his door until a classical
friend informed him that " inter
pocula" meant between drinks"
It is needless to say that the sign
was Immediately removed and the
officer now avoids Latin scholars as
he would the pestilence.-Ex.

THE GREAT PROCLAMATION.
The Original Draft Of the Famous Docume
Was Made by Mr.. Lincoln

The Original Draft Of the Famous DOcumen
Was Made by Mr.. Lincoln.
Further conference (by the cabinet)
was had on organizing negro regiments,
but Lincoln decided shat the moment
had not yet arrived when this policy could
be safely entered upon. Writes Chase:
"The impression left upon my mind by
the whole discussion was that while the
president thought that the organization,
equipment, and aTming of negroes like
other soldiers would be productive of
more evil than good, he was not unwilling
that commanders should at their discre
ton, arm for purely defensive purposes,
slaves coming within our lines. But on
the kindred policy of emancipation the
president had reached decision which
seems to have been in advance of the views
of his entire cabinet. Probably greatly TO
their surprise, he read to them the toll
lowing draft of a proclamation warning
the rebels of the pains and penalties of
the contscation act, and while renewing
his tender of compensation to loyal states
which would adopt gradual adjustment.
adding summary military order, as
oommander-in-o chief, declaring free the
slaves of all states which might be in
rebellion on Jan. 1, 1858" The text of
this first draft of the emancipation pro-
clamation is here printed for the first
time: I'm pursuance of the sixth section
of the act of congress entitled An act to
suppress iasurrection and to punish
treason and rebellion, TO seize and con-
iscate property of rebels, and for other
purposes, approved July II, 1862, and
which act and the joint resolution ex-
p!snatory thereof are herewith published,
/, Abraham Lincoln, president of the
United States, do hereby proclaim TO and
warn all persons within the contempla-
| ton of said sixth section to cease par
tici pating in, aiding, countenancing, or
abetting the existing rebellion, or any re-
beilicn against the government Of the
United States, and to return to their
proper allegiance to the United States,
on pain of the forfeitures and seizures,
as within and by said sixth section pro-
7idcd.
''And | hereby make known that it is
my purpose, upon the next meeting of
congress, to again recommend the adop-
ton of a practical measure for rendering
pecuniary aid to the free choice or rejec-
ton of any and all states, which may then
be recognizing and practically sustaining
the authority of the United States, and
which may then have voluntarily adopted,
or thereafter may voluntarily adopt,
gradual abolishmemt of slavery within

Girls Worth Knowing.

Belfast, down in Waldo county, Maine,
points with pride to whole family of
women who are not only very smart, but
young into the bargain. These are eight
sisters, and they carry on quite an ext s.
sive farm just outside of Belfast. Their
mother is dead and their father barely
able to do few chores about the place,
so that all the farm work, practically, is
done by the girls. They keep several
COWS, a horse, four oxen that are never
yoked, 500 hens, hogs in plenty, ducks
and geese galore, and thirteen cats. They
get out their own wood III winter, at which
season only two of them are at home, t. Q
others being employed in Boston, two an
teachers in the public schools. All spend
their summers at home, where they have
a good timo as well as run the farm. The
reason the four oxen on the place are
never yoked is because th~re is nothing
for them to do. and the reason they are
not sold for beef is that they are pets,
having been raised from calves by the
sisters. If there are any young men In
the metropolis locking for wives with
some "get up and get" to them, as they
say out west, the vicinity OF Belfast will
be found good ospecting ground.

is now suspended or disturbed; and that
will be prosecuted. And as q fit and
necessary military measure for effect
ing this object /, as commander-in
chief of the army and navy of the q oited
States, do order and declare that on the
first day of January, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three, all persons held as slaves
within any state or states wherein the
constitutional authority of the United
States shall not then be practically recog
nized, submitted to, and maintained shall
then, thenceforward, and forever be free"
Of the cabinet proceedings which fol-
lowed the reading OF this momentous
document We have unfortunately, ONLY
very brief memoranda. Every member
of the council was, We may infer, be-
wildered by the mag nitude and boldness
of the proposal. The sudden consider
alton of this critical question reveals to
Us with vividness the difference in mental
reach, readiness, and decision between
the president and bis constitutional ad-
visers. Only two of the number gave the
measure their unreserved concurrence,
even after discussion. It was strange
ney-general, the representative of the
conservative faction of the slave holding
state of Missouri, aud that the member
who opposed the measure as whole and
proposed to achieve the result indirectly
through the scattered and divided action
OF local commanders in military depart
nents wes the anti-slavery secretary of
the treasury, Mr.. Chase, representing
P~5haps more nearly than any other the
shD.Ition faction of the state of Ohio.
A were astonished except the two 70
u hom it had been mentioned week be-
fUre. None of the others had even con
sidered such a step. But from the mind
ard will of President Lincoln the deter
minafion and announcement to his cabi
NJ came almost as complete in formsand
Ger tain in intention on that memorable
Tuesday of July as when, two months
later, it was given to the public, or as
proclaimed on the succeeding
NV Years day an irrevocable executive
act.

Coal in London'sAtmosphere.

Prof. Chandler Roberts estimates the
weight of the smokecloud which daily
hangs over London at about 90 tons of
solid carbon and $50 tons of carbon in
the form of hydro-carbon and carbonic-
oxide gases. Calculated from the actual
results of tests made by the smoke abate-
ment committee, the value of coal wasted
in smoke from domestic CRATES amounts
upon the annual copsum ption of 1000,
100000 of people to e., psf, 500. The
cost of carriage on this wasted coal is cal
culated to be e2OS, $50, while the unneces-
sary passage of about 100000 horses
through the streets in drawing it adds
seriously to the cost Of street cleaning
and repairing. Then there is the cost of
taking away the ezra ashes, e43 900 per
year. Summing 1t all up the direct and
indirect cost of waste coal may be ct
down at 60 100000, plus the additional
cost of damage done to property caused
by the smoky atmosphere. estimated by
Mr.. Chadwick at 60 600, 600, the whole ag-
gregating GA, 100000 or s22 100000.

The FARM AND HOME.
D0R0THY'S HOLLOW.
A NARRAGANSETT LEGEND.

Seventeen hundred and eighty They saw
Never was known so bitter year
The sea was frozen in the bay
From Bonnet Point TO Beaver Tail
The ice was so thick that never a sail
Sailed the passage for many q day,
year to remember with dread ana fear
The snow q heavy blanket lay
And covered the woodlands brown and scar:
And The roads were lost and the stone walls gone
And still the snow kept sitting on
And still the skies were gray and drear
Then Dorothy rose from by the fire,
And put on her cloak. and her hood of red
And. ere the drifts are any higher
L must try to find my sheep she said.
No food have hey had these three long days
No fear for me, mother: know all the ways
In the blacklist n ght know no dread.
So she wrapped herself WELL from head to toe,
And tied her hood round her winsome face,
And shut herself out ID the cod and he snow
And the fierce wind held her in its embrace,
The snow flakes danced like elfin spirits
And fainter grew the window lights
As she took her way to the feeding place.
And the night came on. and the wind blew j,
And the snow kept ST, i1g down so white;
And no sweet Dorothy climbed the hill
The news flew out upon the night,
And torches were carried by anxious men
Who searceed the hillside again and gain
But no sweet Dorothy came in sight.
In spring a soft dimple runs down the hill
Too deep for gully, and scarce ravine
And in the bottom a small sparkling rill
Its course ked out by tenderest green,
And here, IN the early springtime, they found
With the sheep that she sought still laying around
her,
Oh, come birds of springtime, bluebird and swaL
low,
Come, little lambkins follow. come follow.
To mourn and lament in Dorothy S Hollow.

RE-seating Chairs.

Sometimes one has cane seat chairs,
the frames of which are good, but their
seats have given out. If one wishes to
re-seat such neatly and cheaply, here is a
method: Remove the old seat, cleaning
ont all the holes, and if the frames re-
quire painting or vanishing, do it now.
Get some stout cord about the size of
wool Irvine. pound, costing % cents,
S.!l usual reseat three chairs. With a
darning needle threaded with a short
piece of common Irvine, and this looped
around the end of the heavy Irvine, draw
your Irvine up through the hole at the
left hand back corner, then down through
the corresponding one in front, up
through the hole to the right of that,
then down through the second one in the
back and SO on till the warp is all in, and
the threads drawa tightly. Then pro
coed in the same way from side to side,
only you must weave these into the other,
alternately over and under.
generally begin with the end right off
the ball. pulling il along so as to make
the warp without piecing, then unwine
and cut off sufficient length to fill in, be-
ginning at the left hand corner, of course
and weave from back to front. This
makes the seat of only Ole piece, but it
may be pieced if necessary, by tying
under the frame between holes and tuck
ing the ends under the selyadge stitches.
To finish of, take piece of the cord
long enough to reach around it, and
then with some comm on Irvine well waved
or better still fine number of the same
quelity as the heavy twine, threa the
needle, pass it through the second hole
from the right hend back corner, over the
heavy twibe and back through same hole.
Repeat in every alternate hole around the
frame, crossing the ends at the right
hand back corner and fasten by q stitch.
Fasten ends of small binding taine Sc
curely, cut ends off heavy binder close,
and the work is com plete, and if the
Irvine is good and the work we'll done,
will be durable.

TRAVELLING IN PERSIA.
The Prominent Part Mule Plays in an Expe
ditiOn

When we enter Persia we are in the
poor mans paradise-a country where ex-
lstence is possible upon a pence a day,
where meat cost 1 penny a pound and
bread a quarter as much in ordinary
times; where a fowl may be purchased
for pence, a partridge or a wild duck
for 2 pence; where a serviceabie pony
can be had for pound note and val
nable thoroughbred for 20 pounds; where
a servant can be hired for s shilliugs g.
month aud his rations, you can feed a
horse upon 3 pence a day. In most OF
the cities large hodse can be rented for
from 10 to 80 pounds year, and all the
necessaries of life are TO be had at the
very cheapest rate. The very mules upon
which we are to march TO the capital, each
of which VIII carry load of $50 pounds,
are hired at the rate of 8 pence day and
yet from this small sum the muleteer, if
he be fortunate, will obtain good profit.
The beasts are fat, there is plentiful her
bage for the first five stages, and a hand
full of barley aud els hty pounds of cut
straw is all that the mules will get for
the other six days journey, and each day
the mules will march their twenty to
twenty five miles, and go merrily along
under their 800 pound load, for the great
pack saddles cannot weigh less than
twenty TO thirty pounds, while the load
itself is seldom less than $50, and they
will steadily maintain their pace at an av-
erage of four miles an hour, save in the
case of mountain passes, storms, swan ps,
and the numerous contretemps incidental
to Eastern travel. The pack saddle is a
very important part of the mules equip
ment. Save when he is curry, eombed,
the pack-saddle never leaves hiIn by day
or night; it supports the load and acts as
his clothing, for, however severe the
weather may be, the hardy Persian mule
gets no other. Of course, the pack sad
die is of the most solid construction; its
high peak towers at least eighteen in shes
above the withers of the animal, and the
padding is nowhere less than six inches
thick. This padding is composed of cut
straw, and the, muleteer is accustomed,
by means of packing needle thrust
through the lining of the pad, to shift
this stuffing in such way as to remove
the pressure from any part of the ami
mails back which may have become ten
Ger. OF course mule with a bad sore
pack is useless and has to be turned out
to grass; and, strange to say, thou, b
there are many millions of mules and
ponies used as beasts Of burden in Persia,
for, be it remembered, there are no rail-
ways, no rivers, no canals, aud only one
road, that from Kasvin to the capital
Except few that have been made for
the Shah's personal convenience still a
mule with a sore back Is very unusual
sight. This says q great deal for the care,
Intelligence and skill of the Persian mule
