LINcoLN,s joke.

It is the humorous element In Lin
coins speeches and writings which
makes them almost sui 0eneyis. saws
Theodore Stanton in recent article In
the Westminster ReUiels. What he said
or wrote to his General was often anus
ingly pat When seemingly unsur-
mountable object checked the advance of
one OF the armies, his favorite illustra-
ton was: .'Well, if you can't plow
through the log perhaps you can plow
round It. 1t was characteristic of Gen.
Mcclellan, the author tells us, that he al
ways regarded bad weather as exceed
ingly injurious TO him, but as never in
furious to the other side; so Lincoln
once said TO him: HE seems to think,
IN defiance of Scripture, that Heaven sent
It's rain only on the just and not on the
unjust" Exasperated at this discrep-
ency between the aggregate of troops
forwarded to the same General and the
number the General reported as being
received, Lincoln exclaimed: tSending
men to that army is like shoveling fleas
across barnyard-not half Of them get
there" When one of the northern com
manders took the control of a Missouri
church out of the hands Of its rebel trus-
tees, Lincoln disapproved of the meas
ure in dispatch containing this terse
and vigorous phrase, which Immediately
obtained wide currency "The United
States Government must not, as by this
order, undertake TO run the churches"
When Grant was accused of intemper-
ance, the President answered: ''If only
knew what brand of whiskey he drinks,
would send barrel or so to some other
generals" He once telegraphed to Gen.
Hooker; "If the head Of Lees army is
in Martinsburg, and the tail of it on the
plank road between fredericksburg and
Chancellorsville,t the animal must be very
slim somewhere. Could you not break
him2" TO another general he wrote:
II understand the main body of the
enemy is very near you, so near that you
could board at home, so to speak, and
menace or attack him any day.
Not less happy were many Of Lincoln's
messages to politicians. To one of his
mild-natured critics he wrote: ''Would
you drop the war where it is, or would
you prosecute it in the future with elder
stalk squirts charged with rose-waterP'
When, on his first arrival in Washing
ton, the new President was besieged by
office-seekers, while the war was breaking
out, Lincoln said: 81 feel like man let
ting lodgings at one end of the house
while the other end is on fire.

Talking of patent medicines - you
know the old prejudice: And the doc
tors-some Of them are between you and
us. They would like you to think that
what's cured thousands won't cure you.
You'd believe in patent medicines il they
didn't profess to cure eperythinD-and so
between the experiments Of doctors, and
the experiments of patent medicines
that are sold only because there's
money in the stuff you lose faith in
everything.
And, you can't always tell the prscrip-
ton that cures by what you read in the
papers. SO, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell remedy, than to tell the
truth aboutit, and take the risk of its
doing just what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y,
does with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, and DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
If they don't do what their makers say
they'll do-you get your money back.

REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN
FIREARMS

We should remember that our Rem
ington and Springfield guns areIas obso-
lete as q flint-lock Brown Bess Posi-
bly, no more men will be killed, IN pro-
portion to numbers engaged, with Lebel
rifles than were with Brown Besses, but
it will be done differently. In the
camps in the Sioux country this winter,
was talking to the best shot in the
United States army, and we saw horse
man far away. He was speck. asked
him if he could hit him. He replied, II
could kill him sure il he would not run
until got his range, and if watched
until he got within known range, 1
could be sure of him." 1t was perfectly
startling. l was once riding with lit
tie troop of cavalry, and the officer and
were talking about shooting. To eluci-
date an idea, he turned and suddenly
dismounted three men, telling them to
fire five rounds apiece at a black object
across the canon, and to do 1t quickly.
The men dropped on the ground, and
poured fifteen shots into the rock or
stump, whatever it was, at an unknown
distance, and they hit it over and over
again. | think it was about seven hun
dred yards, and we could see the bullets
strike in the stand. The frightful pos
sibilities of a modern rifle in the hands
of an expert is not to well understood.
Add to that the thin mist of the smS4rce
less powder and the ceaseless crash of the
magazine, and then think twice about
your battalion drills.-Frederic Renting
toT'in Hdrper's Weekly.

what do You think of the reality Of hyp-
notism now?'
Long before Perkins had finished
speaking, the canon had seen clearly
through the whole clever hoax. But he
set his moral and social good name so
far above his reputation as an anti-hyp-
notist that he was thankful enough for
the means of escape which Perkins's I'M
blushing falsehoods afforded him, and he
answered, with profound emphasis:
81 assure you gentlemen, that my
skeptical views about bypnotism have
been once and forever extinguished by
this most marvellous experiment."
