THE CAMP FIRE.
PLEASANT CHATS WITH THE DEPEND
FRS OF OUR COUNTRY.
A,Fsw Incident. from the LII of Abrah am
Llncoln-Military Matters, and Items
for sons of Veterans.
INC Morning Of Fob. aa. 1891.

The following incidents occurred
while Abraham Lincoln was on his
way TO Washington TO be inaugurated
President He remained in Philadel-
phia the night OF Feb. 81. During
the night small platform was erect
ed on Chestnut street in front OF old
independence Hall.
Early in the morning OF the 22d the
Mayor and City Council escorted Mr..
Lincoln TO this platform, where he de-
liyered n short address, and the Ma
rine Band from the Nayy-yard played
several airs. The most impressive
incident was Mr.. Lincoln's raising the
flag 10 the top OF the flagstaff on Iu-
dependence Hall as the sunrise gun
was fired of at the Navy-yard. 1t
was n cool. clear morning, and the
wind was blowing from the northwest.
There were probably not more than
200 persons present. for but few knew
that Lincoln was 10 be there.
A peculiar incident occurred while
Lincoln was raising the flag. Mr..
Plumbley. prominent man ut that
time in Philadelphia. was standing
near Lincoln. He reached over and
grasped the halyards TO assist MIR.
Lincoln. but Lincoln passing both
lines into his left hand and raising his
right hand slightly, said. II do this
alone; then, taking the halyards
in both hands. continued his
work till the flag which was
rolled up in ball, had reached the
top OF the staff. He then gave the
halyards in his right hand n sudden
jerk. This freed tho flag, which now
proudly iloated out TO the southeast on
the morning breeze. The band then
played the Star Spangled Banner, =
and the people shouted.
The unfurling OF that flag was one
OF the grandest sights have ever seen.
This was the first time that flag had
ever boon rove TO any balyards. IL
had been presented to the city OF Phil
adelphia, a year or two before. by the
crew Of the old frigate Congress, that
was afterward destroyed by tho Merri-
mae in Hampton Roads. Tho way
Philadelphia came by this flag was,
the crew OF the Congress, while cruis-
ing in the Chinese seas, made this flag,
which was very handsome and OF silk.
They agreed that the first American
port whore they would be paid off
should be presented with this flag, and
Philadelphia happened TO be that
place; so, when they came into port
the crew marched up from the Navy
yard, with band playing and the flag
stretched out. and carried by the crew.
who grasped the edges as they came
up Chestnut street. They occupied
the full width OF the street. for the
flag stretched from curb TO curb. IL
wns presented TO the Mayor and City
Council at Independence Hall.
should like TO know how many are
alive to-day who saw and remember
the above incidents. ONE VINO WAS
THERE.

IL Is said that every woman has her
fad; and ! know one whose sole fad Is
that OF being beautiful. The first
time you meet her you will think she
Is loyely-very likely you will enthus-
iastically declare to all your friends
that she is lovely. BY and by, when
you become better acquainted with
her, IL will gradually dawn upon you
that IL must require hours 10 do up
that marvellous complexion and per-
suade each one OF those brown hairs
to lie in its proper place on brow and
neck; you will also notice that she al
ways appears stiff and uneasy and
afraid 10 move lest she should disar-
range something; she even smiles with
care. although sweetly and with won
derful play OF her eyes. because smiles
bring those little detestable wrinkles
about ones mouth. Yes. you have
seen her ut receptions. and leaning
back In her carriage. and walking
slowly on the street, | know-but con-

woman before breakfast? Did you
ever see her walk briskly and energet-
ieally, rs If she had some business in
life and was attending 10 itp Did you
ever sec her leap upon horse and
gallop away for the pure love OF rid
ing? Did you ever see her 90 Oft. in
stout boots and "a strong frock. for a
days outing In the woods? Did you
ever hear her speak with expression
or enthusiasm? No. you never did;
and after while you will become SO
bored with that little. set smile. and
that low, soft monotone. and those
careful, mincing movements, that you
will wonder how you ever thought her
beautiful. But. then. we all have our
hobbies. and rs hers is such harm
less one, do not be too hard upon her
when you find her out Vest Shore.

idea inseparablc from size; let the
stout woman's dress create that feel

heavy folds. unbroken lines. deep soft
color, and she is at her best. The
tight-htting black silk or satin. her
usual grand costume. Is great mis-

brilliant surface reveal the form; re-

Is poetic.
"A tall. angular woman wants some

They Held Two Twentieths Of n Capital
Prize I'm a Louisiana state Lottery
Ticket.


Fifteen thousand dollars for 81 sounds
somewhat prodigious, yet three Bultl-
moreans have recently been so fortu-
nate as TO acquire the amount OF money
named AT the relatively small outlay.
They are j. c. Warnefeld. of 43S Light
street, first assistant engineer on the
steamer Charlotte; James Billups, Sec
ond mate on the steamer Baltimore,
both OF which vessels belong to the
York River Line, and John +. Stansbury,
living at l522 Byrd street Messrs.
Warnefeld and Bllups together bought
one twentieth OF ticket In The Louisi-
ana State Lottery. Tie number they
held drew the capital prize OF S30O,oOO
in the August 18th drawing.
On August ID Mr. Warnefeld saw In
the columns OF the Morning Herald
that in the drawing on the day before
he had won one.twentieth part OF the
prize or $4,000. Mr. Warnefeld on
August Is sent his ticket 10 New
Orleans for collection. just week
later, on last Friday, n check was re-
ceived by him through the Adams Ex-
press Company on bank in New York.
This was oashed in tho Franklin Bank
of this city, and the money was then
divided by Mr.. Warnefeld and Mr.. Bill
ups equally. The former ut once de.
posted his 81, 800 in the bapl, named,
while the latter left portion OF his
share in the same bank and the rest NJ
other places for safe keeping.
Mr.. Stansbury, the third OF tho lucky
trio, obtained one-twentieth of tho
winning ticket about the same time as
Messrs. Warnefeld and Billups. After
seeing in the Herald that he was one OF
the winners, he forwarded his coupon
/. 20 New Orleans day later, on August
IA. A draft was received last Friday,
August %, which Mr.. Stansbury had
cashed the same day in tho Howard
Bank, Baltimore. Immediately upon
receiving the money he deposited IL in
several other banks in this city. Mr..
Stansbury, who is n night Waterman
for n manufacturing firm in South Bal
timore, yesterday expressed his opinion
in regard 60 The Louisiana State Lot
terry as follows: 81 consider it an hon.
est. fair and square institution. and be-
lieve that ii such thing as lotteries
were still sanctioned by law in the State
OF Maryland the result would DO far
better than now, as so much OF the bust
ness is carried on surreptitiously. IL
would also greatly increase the revenue
Of the state"
The lucky ticket bore number 81 .i70.

Floods, cyclones. and droughts belong
10 the same family.

transit of the waters clogs the great nat

they rush. The more the axe IL used
the higher rise the waters. Bad goes on
to worse. The end no human wit can
foretcl.
The destruction Of the forests has
eliminated tho principal factor in mod
flying tho movement OF the air currents,
according to the Cleveland Press. Like
the trade winds on tho ocean, the air
currents over sections dcnuded Of forests
flow freely and pcrsistently for long
periods without change. AS change Is
necessary in tho movements OF the air
in order 10 have change In the rainfall,
IL follows that persistcncy In air cur
rents caused by forest destruction means
long spells OF dryness at ono period
and long spells Of wet at another.
Thus floods are sometimes aggravated
a. much by unusual wet spells" as by
tho rapid transit Of the waters TO their
natural channels in consequence Of con-
ditions just mentioned When both
causes conioin terrible floods are newt
able Destructive droughts must follow
excessive rainfalls, for tho average rain
fall varies but little from year TO year in
given locality. An excess at one time
means a scarcity nc another.
So, too, cyclones. like simoons, are
only possible where enormous areas of
country unbrokcn by forests exist. Tho
winds gather force as they go. or rather
freedom 10 move easily, which means
that they will go quicker than II OBJ

Unless all signs fail Ellis will not

ocratic ticket lost four of the eighteen
districts, by very small majorities, and
Longmoor came to town from the
South with about 600 majority, in
cluding Hopkinsville Nos. 2 and 3.
Ellis will do even better than this,
The nine Northern precincts are not
all conceded to Bourland. There are
some mighty good Democrats in VIII
son and Stuart and they may be able
to hold enough of the Democratic
majority to save the districts. 1t is
not unlikely that both OF the Northern
city precincts will be carried for Ellis,
though the Lest work ever done for
No. A was to cut its $50 Republican
majority down one half this year
After the election it will be found that
there was a good deal of fuss and
feathers and very little meat in the
claims of Bourland. Ellis will carry
