There is considerable gossip at the
county asylum over the unfortunate
escapadc of the head cook, Mary Hay
den, and Doc" Holmes, IA sort OF at
acknowledgement man Of all work
about the institution.
Mary was sent to Chicago a few
days ago to prominent hospital for
unfortunate girls, and, though Holmes
offered to marry her, she declined upon
the advice Of friends, as he is utterly
incapable Of supporting himself, and
would make a poor excuse for a hus-
band.
The girl was sent to the institution
some time agofOr treatment for feeble
mindednesss, but had recovered and
secured the somewhat lucrative
position of head cook. She was pre-
possessing in appearance, but, as the
''old story" goes, she loved not wisely
but too WELL as it appears, now the
SEQUEL is known.

The Grandest Man on the Globe.

From Rev. Dr. I. L. Cuylers Y. NJ. C. A. Address
Tho most remarkable man that ever trod the
streets Of Washington in the ,ast fifty years
need not tell you who he was, his name
saturates the very air to this hour-that man,
poor and stranger, walked into store in
Springfield when he was young man, CARRYING
a carpet bag in his hand that held all his worldly
effects. He said to the storekceper, ''Speed.
am coming to Springfield to practice law. /
want room and a little furniture-table and O
bed and washstand and chair or two. How
much will it cost, Speed?" Speed figured on it
while and then he said, "Abe. it will
cost You seventeen dollars" 81 haven't as
much money as that in the world" 81 tell you
Abe" said Speed, what I'll do. I have a
double bed upstairs; come up and bunk with
me till you get money enough to buy the chairs
and the bed" The tall, 4aunt young man.
with the great soft eyes that were mile deep,
went upstairs, tossed down his carpet bag. came
down and said he, Speed. rmmoved." laugh
teri That was all he had. That was the start
OF the career that sent him on, carrying the
great heart Of America with him. till he stood
before the throne with four million broken
manacles in his hands, and when he was gone,
the-Czar OF Russia, told by friend Of the news.
staggered up from his chair and said, GOOD
God! is Lincoln dead? He was the Grandest
man on the globe" [Applause.l What word
was the keynote of that career? Courage
Courage to fight poverty, courage to fight
wrong, coura &c Of convictions.
