HANNIBAL HAMLINs STORY.
How the Maine Statesman Rode With q Con
stituent on Bag Of Cats.

stituent on n Bag Of Cats.
BOSTON, August l6-The Hon. Hannibal
Hamlin, of Bangor, Me-, who has been attend
ing the Grand Army Encampment. tells good
story, which has never before been published
about countryman who didn't know him. He
was passing through West Market square,
Bangor, one morning when he saw load Of
very nice oats, and made q bargain for them
with the owner, Having paid the price. he
gave the counrryman directions as to how to
find his house. But his bucolic friend
was not quick to understand him, and
finally said: Look here, mister, you get
up here with me and show me
where your house is" Uncle Hanni-
bal accepted the invitation, and when the barn
was reached he even assisted the driver In dis
posing of his load which only about half filled
the bin. He, therefore, ordered another load
at the same price, and it was brought the next
week. In the meantime the farmer had learned
who his purchaser was. When he reached Mr..
Hamlin's house with the second load the
farmer at once began an apology for his jocu-
lar rudeness, assuring the Vice President that
if he had known who he was he would surely
not have asked him to ride on q bag of oats.
"Well, my friend" said Hamlin, " DIDN'T
hurt the oats, did II"
"No but -"
well, the oats didn't hurt me, 50 don't see
as there is any chance for us to complain"
Uncle Hannibal has no more ardent admirer
In Maine to-day than that raiser OF oats.

BY study of the columns Of FTank
Leslie's illustrated Newspaper, and the Helena
Journal, the conclusion is arrived at by the
New York Sun that in longitude TAO o. 81 west
Mr. Russell b Harrison is opposed to lotteries,
while in longitude lilo 5% 45" west he is in
favor of them. This is q demonstration of
young Mr.. Harrison's superiority to Horace's
maxim: "CeIum non drirnum nautGnt Qui
trans mare cuyrunt." Mr.. Harrison can change
not only his skies but his opinions, with the ut
most facility by transferring his Journalistic
personality across the Rocky Mountains.

THE Republican organs preach the idea
that no legislator should offer an amendment
to bill unless he expects to have it adopted,
and that no one should make speech which
he does not expect to influence some vote. As
this is accompanied with the party principle
that measures which have the sanction Of the
caucus shall not be amended, and that any man
who does not vote the party measure Is
traitor, it is plain that beautiful chain OF
reasoning Is established to the effect that both
amendments and debate on legislative measures
can be wholly abolished.

Our thought Of thee Is glad with hope,
Dear country Of our love and prayers;
Thy way is down no fatal slope,
But up TO freer sun and airs.
Tried as by furnace hres, and yet
By Gods grace only stronger made;
In future tasks before thee set
Thou shalt not lack the old-tims aid.
The fathers sleep, but men remain
As true and wise and brave as they;
Why count the loss without the gaInf
The best Is that we have to-day.
No lack was in thy primal stock,
No weakling founders builded here;
There were the men Of Plymouth Rock,
The Puritan and Cavalier;
And they whose firm endurance gained
The freedom OF the souls OF men.
Whose hands uustained In peace maintained
The swordless Commonwealth Of Penn.
And time shall be the power Of all
To do the work that duty bids;
And makes the peoples Council Hall
As lasting as the Pyramids.
Thy lesson all the world shall learn.
The nations at thy feet shall sit;
Earth's furthest mountain tops shall burn
With vstchnres from thine own upaif.
Great without seeking TO be great
By fraud or conquest-rich In gold.
But richer In the large estate

With peace that comes Of purity.

He was engaged rs clerk in his fathers store

year entered into partnership with his father
in the clothing business, under the iTm name
Of D. L0ebcnstein & Son. The firm remained
in business until December. 1889, when the
senior member decided TO retire aud the stock
was sold.
Gen. Loebenstein was until recently, en-
gagged as travelling salesman for G. III. Garden

ing 1856.
Feb. ], 1856, he made his bow to tho Mis-
SCUM Division by accepting the position of
Mastering Officer under Col. Crysler. In this
Office he became a fixture serving full terms
under Coils Crysler, Speaker and EandiYert
and half year under Col. Durham. But for

! Wheeling, 1888 He WAS elected Colonel Of the
! Division at the llth annual Encampment held
! at St. Louis, June III. 1889, and one significant
! fact in connection with has election was that
while his majority was not large, he received
almost as many votes Is were cast for all candi-
! dates at the election the previous year. Gen.
/ LOebenStein's popularity was never more thor
oughly demonstrated than by his election as
Colonel. The opposition, an exceedingly
friendly one, was well organized, and though
five ballots were required - decide, Loeb 4"

He was Inspector Of the Third Grand Di-
