Llncoln's Religion.

The forthcoming (August) num-
Der of the Century will contain a
chapter ON "Lincoln and the
Churches" in the Lincoln History,
by Messrs. Hay and Nieolay, from
which the following is an extract
from advance sheets: "There
have been swift witnesses who,
judging from expressions uttered in
his callow youth, have called him
an atheist, and others who, with
the most laudable intentions, have
remembered improbable conversa-
tions which they bring forward to
prove at once his orthodoxy and
their own intimacy with him. But
leaving aside these apocryphal evi-
dences, We have only to look at his
authentic public and private utter
ances to see how deep and strong in
all the latter part of his life was the
current of his religious thought and
emotion. From that morning
when, standing amid the falling
snowhakes on the railway car at
Springfield, he asked the prayers
of his neighbors in those touching
phrases whose echo rose that night
in invocations from thousands of
family altars, to that memorable
hour when on the steps of the Capt.
tol he humbled himself before his
Creator in the sublime words of the
second inaugural, there is not an ex-
preston known to have come from
his lips or his pen but proves that
he held himself answerable IN every
act of his career to a more august
tribunal than any on earth"

Senator Vest.

In a private letter to a friend,
Senator Vest writes as follows ::
"I am not losing any sleep about
the election ofmy successor. That
matter will be settled by the Demo-
Gratis of Missouri and not by the few
disappointed office seekers now
yelping at my heels.
"I have gone across the plains
and heard many dark night the
barking of dozen hungry coyotes
when there was fresh meat in camp
they couldn't reach.
'One thing l want to say most
distinctly and emphatically. Un-
der no state of case shall my can
didacy interfere with the success of
the Democratic party. The Re-
publicans may as we'll understand
now that in no contingency will
my ambition endanger Democratic
success or contribute to Republican
victory.
''All this talk by Radicals and a
few sorehead Democrats about dis
sensien and rival factions and per-
sonal aspiration amongst Democrats
in Missouri is political rot. For
one, I shall fight where the party
places me, without a murmur and
to the full extent of my ability.
The first thing is. to put beyond
question the election of a Demo-
cratic Legislature that will send a
true Democrat to the Senate. Who
will be Senator is of secondary i'm
portance.'

Though they have strayed into for

a brief outline sfmy wayfaring ex-

home. After leaving Mexico last
July I went dewn into Southwest
Missouri, and from there shifted
over into Kansas. Finding Kansas
rather dry just then, I again gath
cred up my effects and slid over
into Colorado. However, Colorado

disgust at finding a Republican
President elected made me resolve
upon change of scene, SO 1 took
a trip up the coast to San Francisco.
Then I thought sea voyage might
do me some good, so I embarked on
a sailing ship bound to the Philip
pine Islands. For two months we
were rocked in the cradle of the
broad Pacific, seeing no land from
the day our white sails carried US
beyond the coast hills of California
until we were among the Ladrone
Islands. We passed near two of
these-Agrigan and Pagan; the
latter Island having three active
VOLCANOES which afforded a magnifi-
cent view. Two weeks later the
Babuyon and Bashee Islands in the
Balintang channel greeted our Wis.,
ion and in a few days more the
mountains coast of Luzan, largest
of the Philippines, were in sight.
Then head winds struck US and for
several days we were beating about
the aarrows at the entrance to
Manila Bay. Finally ,one night, the
wind relented and we anchored in
Manila harbor. We weighed anchor
again next day and sailed away to
the Southwark, and a weeks steer.
