Boston Herald.
kentucky is medilating a de-
claratiOn of war against Connecti-
cut. A member of the lower
House has seriously proposed that
the owner OF circus shall be fined
if his show is not exactly as adver-
tlsed. Will Mr.. Barnum submit, or
is this a scheme of the Kentucky
lobby TO bleed him in order to kill
the bi.l9 One-half the satisfaction
of attending n circus is in the con-
sciousness that one has been hum
bugged, more or less, and many a
happy hour is spent in guessing
whether it was or less. Pretty
soon the Kentuckians will be pass
ing law to forbid any body 10 i'm
personate Santa Claus without ex-
planning to the children that it is
all ke-belIeve. The bill may
pass, but who can be convicted
under itg Who can prove that the
Milesian who impersonates the
King of the Cannibal Islands has
not eaten a missionary, or that the
alleged new jokes OF the jester IN
The ring are not a century old
The Kentucky Legislature should
devote It's attention TO measuring
the labyrinlhs of the Mammoth
Cave, lest Northern visitors be de-
ceived by an Overstalement of
their length.

A HUSBAND on TRIAL.
A Fresno Girls Plan Of MatrimOny.

A spec al dispatch 10 the San
Francisco Chronicle from Fresno,
December Both, says: Among the
many handsome young ladies who
promanade the principal streets Of
Fresno none are trimmer neater
and prettier than Mary Wilson.
She has a splendid form, is above
medium height, with large brown
eyes, brilliant auburn hair, elastic
slep and vivaciouS manner. She
is highly educated, being a clever
performer on many musical instru-
ments. Marv is In her 22d year.
She is daughter of Il late wealthy
rancher in Stanislaus county.
When her father died he left her
$4,000 in her own name.
"rhe handsome legacy did not
make Mary flighty, as it would
most girls. She said: Il will keep
my property and add to it. I'm
not above work. Mary became
an apprentice to a dressmaker in
Modesto. She was very apt wit h
her needle and soon mastered the
trade. About yeal ago she came
to Fresno and went into partner
ship in the dressmaklng business
with Miss Kiernan, a worthy young
lady now running Il similar estab-
lishment IN the Griffith building.
The firm was Herman & Wilson.
Ii did a thriving business.
"Mary was compelled to go back
TO Modesto, and the partnership
was dissolved. This was early last
summer On the 14lh of October
Mary returned to Fresno and en-
tered the employe of the Misses
Herman, one of them being her
former associate in business. She
has worked for them ever since up
till last night.
"Some months ago Miss Wilson
met Joseph Campbell, a young
and prepossesslng man, said to be a
Sacramento farmer. He is a tall,
handsome brunette. Joseph ad-
mired Mary, and sought her hand
in marriage. Mis- Wilson refused
his offers, saying that she could
take care OF herself. Joseph per-
sisted. The more Joseph pressed
his suit the higher became Mary's
admiration for him. She liked his
perseverance. Her heart at last
thawed, and she cons ented to be-
come Mrs. Campbell for the brief
period of six months.
"'Joe,' said Mary IN her most be-
witching way, Il will marry you
for six months. At the end of
that time, if marriage is a failure,
we will find it out and we can go
our ways
"'No, 1 don't marry for six
months. | want to live with you
always
81 shall never live with man
always unless | can live with him
replied the spirited Mary.
Joseph finally consented to The
six months plan. Last night Mary
drew up contract for the SIX
months marriage. Joseph and she
signed it and they became man and
wife. The contract is said TO be
very binding, and expressly states
that if Joseph gets drunk during
the SIX months the document be-
comes null and void. Mary's
friends hope that at The expiration
of The time the obligation may be
and that married for six
months may be married forever

CURING LA GRIPPE.-I like TO be

with eqUanimity when | discover

epidemic. All OF sudden | SEEM
ed to have caught a cold, and took
to sneezing, etc. Then came a
cough, a headache, and an all
overish ache. Knowing that it WAS
not dangerous, | proceeded TO doc
tor myself by the light of common
sense. To prevent any fever, | at
once administered 10 myself thirty
grains of quinine-that settled the
fever. To meet the cough ] took

the cough. To meet she cold, l
went to bed, heaped on my bed

LINCOLN AND COLONIZATION.
New York Nation.

New York Nation.
The Southern people may moi be
very wise at this time in suggest
ing the plan of colonizing The col
Ored people as a solution of the
race question, but in doing so they
are only carrying out Mr.. Llncoln's
favoriie idea. He did not believe
that the two races could get on IN
condition of freedom. 1t is TO be
hoped that he was wrong in this
conviction, but it was honestly
held, and the Southern people are
Just as honest in holding it as he
was. He pressed the colonization
of the colored people in his annu-
al messages 10 Congress in Decem-
ber, 1861, and December, 1862; in
his message of April, 1862, approx
ing the bill for the abolition of
slavery in The District of COlum-
bia; IN his appeal to the border
States in July, 1862, and in his
emancipation proclamation Of Sep
tenn Der, 1862. Congress responded
to his views by provisions for CO.
lonization in the acts OF April Is,
1862, The section passing in the
Senate by vote of 27 to 10 as a
part of the bill abolishing slavery
in The District of Columbia; the
act of June 7, 1862, for the collec-
lion of taxes i'll insurrectionary
districts. and the acts of July Is
and II, 1862, IN relation 10 confis-
cation.
The State Department, at Mr..
Lincoln'S instance, instructed our
Ministers to promote it with for
elgn Governments having tropical
dependencies, as England, France,
Holland and Denmark (Seward to
Adams, September 80, 1862, Ad-
ans to Seward, October 80, 1862,
Seward to Adams, November IS,
1862, but Earl Russell declined
10 cooperate in the scheme. Mr..
Lincoln directed, September II,
1862, The Secretary OF the Interior
10 procure information as to the
best places for the colored people
to be sent to, and Central America
and the Province of ChirIqui, in
New Granada, were favored points
for colonization. Mr.. Lincoln
persuaded Senator POmeroy, of
Kansas, who had opposed the
scheme in the Senate, 10 assist in
its execution, and the He-a VachP,
a Haytian possession, was finally
settled as the place.
Mr.. Lincoln, with his own sigma
tnre-an exceptional act for a
President, and showing his extra
ordinary interests (Senator Doo-
little a subscribing witness )-en-
tered December 81, 1862, into a
contract with one Bernard Kock, of
New Orleans, to ship 5000 negroes
to Hayti, but this contract being
rescinded another contract was
made April 6, 1863, with Paul S.
Forbes and Charles X. Tuckerman,
of New York. A shipload of 453
colonists gathered mostly about
Fortress MOuroe, sailed April 18Th
TO the Island, and arrived May Sd.
They had a sad time of it, and, be-
ing thinned by disease, death and
deserliOn, those who were lett
about 3OO-were brought back by
our Government, aud reached
Washington March Is, 1864. The
firm of Forbes dG 1uckerman lost
money by the venture, and Tuck
erman received the Mission TO
Grace as a compensation.
So ended the attempt, Lacked by
the Government, to solve the great
problem according TO The plan on
which Mr.. Lincoln had set his
heart.

A woman died in Indiana the
other day whom the sun had not
shone on for twenty-five years.
twenty-five years ago she got an
cry at something and made The
singular vow that she would never
LET the sun shine on her so long as
she lived. In spite Of all persua-
sion she religiously kept her word.
She spent most OF her time in bed
and never went out doors after
dark. When the family moved
she was carried 10 the new resi-
dence in the night. Women are
not obstinate, oh no, but some
times they are very firm in their
con nrictiOns.
