itself at every step. We laymen of the
capital Joined hands with them and pre-
tended to be as wise as our visitors. We
attended lectures with them, listened to
their discussions, drove them about our
beautiful city and, last and best of all,
took them to see an institution in which
we take great pride, and in which we knew
they would take great interest. That is
the National museum.
You ought to have seen the glow upon
the faces Of our guests as they wandered
through the labyrinthine corridors of our
big museum and feasted their eyes upon
the great show of the earth's living and
dumb things there to be seen. "AhP' ex-
claimed one gray haired scientist, "this is
wonderful, wonderful Here we have the
organic and the inorganic world at our
feet. Here we have a chance to see at our
ease and leisure all the things that could
be seen in fifty years of travel and re-
search. l should like to live across the
street from this place, and spend the re-
mainder of my days in this museum. You
Washingtonians do not appreciate your
opportunity"

appeals SO eloquently with its story of re-
lationship to the sum total of things and
the principles of evolution, but to the COM
mon people. Though not yet as great as
the British museum or the museums main
tained by some other foreign governments,
it is young and has a great future be-
fore it Born only thirty years or so ago,
it was at first nothing but collection of
curiosities which had been given to the
United States by foreign powers or sent
home by consuls or naval officers. Once it
consisted of nothing more than hetero-
geneous cabinet in the patent Office In
1S47 the first step was taken toward estab-
fishing something coherent and creditable,

Ham1in,s First Meeting With Lincoln.

Hannibal Hamlin never met Abraham
Lincoln until the day after their nomina-
tions in May, 1860. The introduction took
place in the old fremont House in Chicago,
and from the beginning the two candidates
seemed mutually prepossessed with each
other, feeling which developed afterward
into a profound friendship.
Mr.. Hanlin used to tell with a great
deal of glee the manner of receiving the
news of his nomination.
He was sitting in one of the rooms Of the
old fremont playing euchre with party
of politicians Suddenly the noise Of many
feet was heard In the corridor without.
Such events were not unusual IN hotel
filed with delegates, so the game was not
interrupted. But just as deal had been
finished and the trump turned, Schuyler
Colfsx burst into the room, without stop
ping % rap at the door, and announced:
Come. come. Hamlin, this is no place for
you. You're nominated for vice president
and must come over and make q speech"
so | went over 70 the hall and made
them a little talk" Mr. Hamlin used 20 add
ps:hstically; but it spoiled the very best
lone hand / ever held. Chicago Herald

| Curiosities and specimens came pouring
In, and as Yankee genius continued to in
vent all sorts of machines, implements and
devices and send them to the patent office,
the corridors of that building were soon

the present museum was trundled over to
the Smithsonian institution Not much
was heard, however, of the National mu-
scum. Everything was addressed to the
Smithsonian, and in popular parlance all
the collectors and investigators were known
as Smithsonian men. Not till the Centen-
nial exposition did the museum begin to
assert itself. So many of the governments
which made exhibits at Philadelphia pre-
sented their goods, wares and collections
to the United States that the question at
once arose. what shall be done with them?
Congress was appealed to, and for a won

S250,oOO. and subsequently more, for the
erection of fireproof building. 1t was

serve as the ballroom at the inauguration
of President Garfield

PAPER MODEL OF HUMPBACK WHALE.
conspicuous objects in the museum is
large case OF orang- outangs or Primates, as
our friends the scientists would call them,
represented with almost startling fidelity
by the former chief taxidermist, Mr. Hor-
naday as climbing about the branches of
tree and engaged in one of those little FAM
lily disputes which it seems even our fore
fathers and mothers occasionally indulged
in. Both of these orangs were killed by Mr..
Hornaday himself in the wilds of Borneo,
while making collections there for Profes-
sor Ward, of Rochester. Chis collection is
notable for the large member of western
American specimens, many of which were
brought home by the earliest explorers in
the wild regions of the Rocky mountains
and British America. They bear labels af-
fixed years and years ago by Audubon and
Bachman, by the naturalists of the Wilkes
exploring expedition, the Hudson Bay
company and the many surveying, explor-
ing and geographical expeditions sent out
under the auspices OF the government.
The museum is said to have the finest
model of whale in the world. A whale
is not easily studied in life He will not
sleep in the sun to Se photographed, as will
a lion or rattlesnake; he is monarch who
declines to be surveyed, and it is not easy
to capture him for the purpose of taking
his picture or his measurement. Even the
whalers who harpoon him and bring him
to terms and the fryingpan alongside their
vessels see but one side of him at a time
Some years age large humpback whale
came ashore on the beach of Cape Cod and
there had the courtesy to die and leave his
huge body. Probably he was sick when he
decided to come ashore and beach himself
and leave his remains to science. At any
rate the opportunity was too good one !
to be lost, and gang of men were collect
ed with wagons, tools and thirty or forty |
barrels Of plaster, and in day or two his |
whaleship was covered with plaster, well |
moistened and packed down. From the |
model thus obtained the whale now on ex- |
hibition in the museum was built up of |
wood and other substances and painted to |
represent the original with fidelity that |
would surely be consoling to the generous
humpback could he but know what goot. /
use has been made of his carcass.
There are dozen or so of the thousands
of equally interesting collections and OBJ.

pounds. Two or three hundred years ago
it was found by Jesuit missionaries at

Near the beautiful rotunda of the mu-
