To learn how much yOu know.

Or the States from which they came.
And next please answer without delay
For this is an easy one
Aiow many states we have to-day
From Maine to Oregon,

Aud even make you laugh
How many letters do you use
In writing your autograph?

Indiana's Great Hickories.

Not many Eastern people, uHless they
are acquainted with the fonssts of the
Mississippi valley, and moro especially
those found on the higher Allegheny
mountains, know what a really large
hickory tree is. The shell-barks Of
Southern Indiana are some times $50
feet tall. with trunks four or five feet
in diameter; and bare of limbs for
seventy or eighty feet and even larger
trees can be found in the still almost
untouched forests Of Eastern Tennessee
and Western North Carolina. But
those large trees are doomed, and be-
fore many years have passed every hick-
ory tree Of sufficient size and proper
quality will have been sacrificed to sup
ply the ever-increasing demand for the

she told toe conductor that il he didn't

said he hated to be disobliging to a lady.
but he didn't like to delay the other
passengers Finally he agreed 10 talk
it over with them. and we decided that

half an hour while she got of and con-

LINCOLN AT ATCHiSON.
senator ingalls, Account of n Characteristic
Incident.
From ~Lippincott's.


From Lippincott's.
senator Ingalls, is possessed of a vas;
fund of anecdote gathered from his own
experience and observation, and as a con-
versationalist he is without n rival in the
senate. His account of his first interview
with Abraham Lincoln is deeply interest
ing. He said:
''The next day, which was the day of the
execution of old John Brown i'm Virginia,
the ID of December, 1859, | think, he came
to Atchison where | then lived and still
live, and was received by n committee of
citizens. He stopped at the Massasoit
house and was for a speech in
the evening at the Methodist church. IL
was a bitter cold winters day. and he
made n speech of extraordinary power,
in which he anticipated very largely the
line of argument he employed a few
months later in his celebrated speech in
Cooper Institute in New York, and made
n profound impression upon the people
who were assembled to hear him. although
his reputation at that time had only been
derived from n knowledge that had pre-
ceded him of his debate with Stephen A.
Douglas in 1855"
Abiding To the threats of the south To
secede, Lincoln declared that any attempt
at secession would be treason, and none
who heard him can forget the impressive
majesty Of his appearance as he drew
himself up, and, leaning forward with his
arms extended until they seemed to reach
across the small auditorium, said: ''lf
they attempt to put their threats into ex-
ecution we will hang them as they have
hanged old John Brown to-day" One of
the leading border ruiiians declared that
il was the most powerful presentation of
republican doctrine that he has ever
heard.
"Lincoln remained in Atchison until the
mex day about 400 and the committee
appointed to entertain him. upon going
down to the hotel mex morning after
breakfast found him In the bar-room by a
red hot box stove, engaged in telling jokes
and yarns and stories to a crowd of over
land stage drivers and other rough char
acters of the frontier, who received his
variations with the most boistcrous and
inextinguishable laughter. He exhibited
there, as always, a most extraordinary IA
cility for forming personal relations with
all classes of men. Think of him sitting
there with one rubber shoe on and the
other unbucklcd on his knee for probably
half an hour, the carriage waiting outside
TO take him about town, while he enter
tanned the crowd with his in~exhaustible
fun amid bursts of uproarious laughter"

An odd Bird That Likes Fishing.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
Away up on the mountain side. where
the numerous streams find their way

pulse-beat of old ocean. is the natural
summer home of the water ousel, the
s~trangest of all strange birds. You sell

They are OF "A lark blue color, and are

tire OF. And as they fit from rock to rock
they are continually bobbing up aud

Owing To their peculiar habits and the
isolated spots they select to build their

value among nest collectors of SIS. They
always build their nests just back Of some

Those dear old Quakers who call
are sending in petitions from all over
the United States begging Congress
not to make any more appropriations
for the building of Navy or for
Ssa-coast Defesces. They are prob
ably as good people as there are i'll
this country and really ought 10 be
numbered among the best; but 1t has
long since been demonstrated tina;
no matter how much faith country
may have IN any particular religion.
when a foreign nation comes with
great big poats and great b'g guns
the unprotected religious people are
always killed or suffer great deal
Consequently the Congress will 2"
right on building \ Navy and pre-
pairing for Sea coast Defences.
Ii is not certain, but 1t L. more
than probable that the Senate Com
mittee on Elections, will recommend
that the republican senators elect
from the state of Montana, shall he
seated. There will be but the com
mencement of long, learned aud
party majority for these senators elect
and they will be seated; out that will
be month hence.

Section 4, of Article /, of the Constl
tution or the United States. full an
thorlty fer the House to district the
several states. and thus preveu, ger
rymanderlng by the Legislatures Of
the said states. This matter will
properly come before the House very
soon, aud the states will be districted
by the House, 80 as to prevent the
democrats from stealing Ohio and
Indiana as has been contemplated.
Take down your Constitution, and
read Section (, No. wait, and let
me unote it. Here 1t is:

E-There is no donbt, even in the

to Congress to take complete control
of the elections of Representatives.
Acting under this Section, the House
