In speech made in 1888 Mr.. Hamlin
gave the following account of Lincolns
emancipation proclamation The eman-
cipation proclamation was the crowning
glory of his life That proclamation made
5000, 900 freemrn. 1t was the act of Abra-
ham Lincoln, not the act Of his cabinet; it
was the act of Abraham Lincoln aud of no.
body else. He was slow to move-much
slower than it seemed to us he should have
been; much slower than wanted him to
be. But he was right. urged him over
and over again to act; but the time
had not come in his judgment. one day

In an account of the btucn and bar Of
Pcnob-cot county published a number of
years ago, Judge Godfrey relates the
following to illustrate a trai: of Mr.
Hanlin:
Among his political enemies at IIlmp-
den was one who opposed him with re-
markabie ylruience, even carrying his
political unfriendiine>s to the extent Of
personal hate, and he knew That Mr. liam
lin was aware of it. After the Rebellion
had become fact and military lines were
established, 50 that passing from the Con-
federacy to the Republic could not be ac-
compli>hed without pass. th man found
himself in Il dilemma. A beloved daugh-
ter was within the Confederate lines near
Fortress Monroe. and he was anxious to
get her home. Being in Washington, he
learned that she could not be got through
the lines without pass from the secretary
of war. He had no one to assist him in
getting one. All sorts of fears arose with
in him in regard to his daughters safety,
and he became very nervous. He was at
his wits end as to what to do He knew
no one to whom to apply except Mr.. Ham
Lin and he was too conscious Of the wrong
he had done him to dare to ask him. But
there was no alternative, and he made the
Hamlin said in his familiar way:
Jim, you know you have done every
thing to injnTe me; you forgot the old
school copy that we used 10 write from. 1t
is long road that has no turn. How can
you ask me to help you?'
Captain Jim took some time to reply.
At length the nard answer came:
Yes, Squire; did quite wrong, I'm
sorry. but
Well, jim, I'm going to do you Bible
justice. | am going to heap Goals of fire
upon your head Go with me-
They went to Mr. Stanton Vice Presi-
dent Hamlin procured the pass, and hand
ing it to the captain, told him he need have
no further anxiety; he could get his daugh-
ter now. Captain Jim broke right down,
The tears flowed freely. He could say
nothing; he was too full. Thrusting the
pass into his pocket, he went away, pro-
cured his daughter. and carried her away.
| He ceased to be an enemy of Mr.. Hamlin. y

In its explanation of the Sunday
school Bible lesson on the kook of Jonah,
The Bdptist Teacher took the following
extraordinary position IF it had pleased
God so to order, it would have been en-
tirely possible even for an oyster to
swallow Jonah-quite as easy as for Jonah
to have swallowed an oyster" Upon
which The Congregationalist thus com
ments "1f it had pleased God so to
order, it would have been entirely possible
for Him to have made an oyster a Sunday
school teacher; and it would hardly have
been more remarkable than that one who
could write such nonsense as the comment
quoted should be chosen for that place.
But the oyster, if allowed to follow his
natural instincts, would have kept bis

the letter to the attorney, who investi-
gated the matter and saved the loss of

November upon another banker of the

modified, the names were changed and
the place of writing was Valencia in
stead of Balboa, but the handwriting
was the same as in the first case. The
documents consisted of a forged eXem-

meantime notified the American minis
ter in Spain and the chief of police of
Valencia, urging the authorities to act.

in resisting the Establishments OF zen
tlemanly lightning rod sWindlers, hohe-
mian oats men, red line wheat takers.
Bible c~anvasSers, se%lf-Tunning pillow
agents and the rest, that these gentry
have called to their aid a new and dan

Samuel Cosier. an old farmer of
Beaver Creek township. Greene oun
ty, can be believed. Mr.. Cosier arrived
in Xenia. eighteen miles from this city,
early this morning, looking for a gang
OF lightning rod swindlers who came to
see him yesterday. Mr.. Cosier says that
they induced him TO sign a paper of
which he did not even know the con-
tents. He is nOW satisfied however that
it was a note for several hundred dol
lars. He claims that he was induced to
sign the note while under some strange
mesmeric or hypnotic influence, and
declares that he will make this defeuse
against the payment of the note,
if it turns up for collection in
any ones hands. COSier says
the men came to his place and CON-
menced 10 talk with him about having
lightning rods put on his house and
barns. The men talked a good while,
and soon a strange feeling came over
him. He was awake and conscious. but
seemed as one dreaming. He appeared
to have lost all will of his own. The
sharperS then brought out a paper
which they directed him to sign. He
felt that he ought not to do it. but could
not resist the hypnotic SUGGESTION
given by the men to sign. He did not
even know the contents of what he was
signing. The mel left soon afterward.

insight into legislative work. and which,
upon the floor Of the house has enabled
him to keep abreast with Older. and
perhaps more experienced par!iamenta-
rians. MI. Feig has taken the most
prominent part in the debates Of all
ence is quite familiar to all habitues of
the house. Mr.. Feig is a Republican,
and upon all questions involving party
principle he is inwiSe to the rear in as
serting the rights of the party with
which he has affiliated. He has proved
himself a ready speaker, a hard hitter,
but never descendS to personalities;
and while displaying a warm interest
in the affairs of his county. has eXhib-
tied a keen determination to push for
ward legislation drafted to further de-
velop and add to the material esOurce
of the state.
The proposition to separate the agri-
cultural college from the state univer-
sity is raising bitter opposition on the
part of friends of the university, who
argue that the separation will curtail
its efficient work. ThereiS much to be
said on both sides of TIRE question at
issue. In the past the agricultural in
terest has not received ADEQUATE atten-
ton from the regents of the university,
but this is being gradually temedied.
The constitution of the board of regents
might be changed so as toNallowA better
representation of the farming commu-
nifty. If this was done, the bill separat-
ing the cpfege and university could be
dropped ito seesWhat was accomplished
for farmers sons, the ensuing TWO years.
There is now an evident disposition on
the part of the university authorities to
to do all in,their power.
