SICKNESS, BUT no SCARE.


The cholera scare was a severe one while
it lasted, and it is possible that we may
have another scare next year. In the
meantime people will decline to notice
other diseases which do as much damage
as the cholera, or more. Scarlet fever is
epidemic in London, and it has been said
that there are fifty thousand cases there.
Fifty thousand cases of cholera in London
would make great stir, yet little atten-
tion is paid to the scarlet fever. While
Philadelphia has been having cholera
scare diphtheria has been carrying off
many scores of victims. Between April 1G
and October s the deaths from this disease
were 534, and the average number of
deaths month was SO. Thirty-six new
cases were reported on Monday of this
week and they seem to be on the increase
daily. The Health Officer announces
his determination to quarantine every
house in which case of diphtheria exists.
The Philadelphia Press also sounds the
alarm. "The ravages of diphtheria in this
city," it Gays, "call for the serious atten-
tion of the authorities. Diphtheria is G
preventable disease. With good sewers
and proper plumbing there need be no feal
of its ravages. The board of health did
good work in preparing the city to resist
a cholera invasion. 1t can afford to give
now some of its attention to diphtheria
There is grave fault somewhere which
ought to be remedied promptly"
large cities. Diphtheris, scarlet fever ant
typhoid fever are claiming many victims
without exciting alarm, but one case O.
cholera would make great disturbance
Which shows the consistency and genera
thouQhtfulness of the human animal.

Line SIn,s Goose-Nest Home.


Near the graveyard where Lincoln's
father and step-mother rest, seven miles
south of Charleston, Illinois, in a place
then known as Goose-Nest, the Lincolns
made their final settlement on removing
from Indiana. Here Abraham Lincoln as-
sisted his father in getting settled" as
they called it. He helped him build log
cabin, and cleared for him a patch of
ground, aud when he saw him 'funder
headway" in the new country bade him
good bye and started north afoot. He
found employment not far from Spring
field, Illinois, where the active part of his
early life was spent. Though he did not
inger long in the Goose Nest cabin, he
was there long enough to stamp his indi-
viduality on every heart for miles around,
and many are the stories told of his So
journ among these people. 1t was my lot
to be born and reared few miles from
the early home Of the Lincolns, and the
incidents L shall relate were picked up in
conversation with the old settlers about
our neigaborhood, all of whom knew Lin
coin well. l WAS shown a bridge he helped
to build, and many other relics of his boy
hood days.
One very old man told me that he once
rode up to Thomas Lincoln's cabin and in
quired If he could spend the night there
de was informed that tee house afforded
only two bsds. and one of these belonged
to a son who was then az home; but If he
would get the consent uf this boy to take
him in as bedfellow he could stay. The
stranger dismouGted, and soon found the
six foot boy in tbs bscA yard lying on a
board reading The boy consented and
the man slept with him that night. The
boy was Abraham Lincoln, and the other
never tires of telling how he spent the
night with the fnIurs president.

HOW PROTECTION WORKS.

One WOuld nardly look 1Or gOou, sOuRu
argument In favor of protection in the
London Times, but a recent issue of the
Times contained one. The Times had an
nounced that "protection, of course, can
not enable the British manufacturer to
compete with his continental rival in any
market in which they both stand on an
equal footing. "Mr. Newton Grassland hap
pened to see this statement, and he there
upon gave the Times some information
which is quite as we'll worth attention on
this side of the water as in England. Mr..
Grassland tells the Thunderer: Now, what
you consider cannot be done by protection
is precisely what it does accomplish. In
countries where protection prevails, the
producer there having the command of
two markets-his own and ours-is able
to produce double the number of articles
required for consumption in his own coun-
try, and therefore he can manufacture
these articles more cheaply, as the price
and cost depend upon the quantity manu-
factured. He can send his surplus stock
to England and beat US out of the field,
at the same time that he can
afford to charge his own countrymen
less for the articles they require. The
tendency of protection is to lower prices
rather than to enhance them. The profit
of the producer is derived from the great
increase in his own production. This is
true of corn as of every other article of
commerce. If we were to place an import
duty of 6s per quarter on wheat, bread
would be no dearer to the consumer; and
the duty would only be partially paid by
the importer, as the foreigner, in his en-
deavor to compete with the articles which
we can produce at home, would lower his
price to tempt purchasers. The public
also would be induced to put more capital
into the cultivation of the land, and the
investor would be rewarded, not by an in
crease in the price of his commodity, but
| by its increased production.
Mr.. Grassland evidently knows what he
ia talking about. He knows how protec-
ton works, regardless of the free traders
theories of how it ought to work.

made their appearance, and were immedi-
ately followed by the Judge and jury. The
court having been formally opened by the
clerk, Mr.. Marsh at once led off the attack
on behalf of MIR. and Mrs. Bridgman. He
rose to address the court with an air of
confidence, inspired, no doubt, by his sue
cessful advocacy of the claimants In the
two previous years. The age of Mr. Bridg-
man, was, he said, thirty-eight, but his
wife's age was a secret which he was bound
in honor not to divulge. This evoked loud
laughter, whereupon Mr.. Bridgman said,
with smile, "She's thirty-three; we do
not mind saying 3d."
The examination of the claimants fol-
lowed. Mr.. Bridgman, who is a thin man,
with light mustsche and hair, maintained
that his wife was amisble and good tenn
pered and never vexei him: while his wife
affirmed that her husband possessed quail
ties of the most desirable character. In
vain counsel for donors of the bacon en-
deayored to shake the evidence of the low
ing couple. The wife never complained if
her husband came home later at night than
usual; and the husband eschewed clubs, al
ways went home as early as he could, and
never objected to nursing the baby If it
was cross, either in the night or during the
day. The jury retired to consider their
verdict, and. returning few minutes later,
the foreman asked whether 1t was the last
or the fret twelve months and day of the
claimants married life that was to be con-
sidered criteron of their happiness. Mr..
Bridgmsn asserted that he WIS prepared
to base his claim on any year, or, in fact,
on the whole seven years of his married
life. The foreman announced that the Jury
found for the claimants, and the couples
were cordially congratulated by the Judge.
Then came the trial of ths aged couple,
and truly happy couple they looked.
They were, in fact, as their counsel suggest
ed, Giving picture of conjugal happiness
and honored old age" The old mans story
was simple but effective. He loved his
wife when he married her, and now that
she was intirm it gave him the greatest pos
sible pleasure TO wait upon her night and
day. Their ffty-four years of married life
had been continual flow of happiness
Shortly after he was married ne was or
dered with his regiment to Gibraltar, but
although he had to pay his wife's passage
he would not leave her behind in England
Cheer after cheer resounded as the venerable
soldier recited his story. The jury found
a similar verdict, their finding being re-
ceived with tremendous cheer. Both cou-
Piles were subsequently hoisted aIoft in old
fashioned chairs, borne by a score of strong
fellows, and, headed by brass band play
ing lsudatory airs, circuit was made of
of the meadows A halt was ultimately
made at a specially erected stage, where
the couples, kneeling on roughed stones,
which have been used at many previous
celebrations, took the time-honored oath.
The clerk then presented them with the
hitcheR. and the ceremony was over.

A Friend I'm His Old Age.

An old man was leading thin old horse
across the commons in the northern part
of the city. when a passer- by asked him
where he was going.
'.Tm searching for q bit of green for the
poor beast" he answered.
''I'd send him to the boneyard or the
glue factory" said the other contemptu-
ously.
"Would youl" asked the old man in
trembling voice, ''if he had been the best
friend you had in the world, and helped
you to earn food for your family for near

Early one morning this lady woke in great

Later on the lifeless body of the old man

When Gabriel Dante Rossetu was very
young, scarcely more than q boy, he was
deeply il love with young girl; and hav-
ing a poets gift he Gang a poets love in
numerous sonnets and verses to her. She
died young, and by her wish The mMu-
scripts of these poems we're placed in q
casket and laid uuder her head so that
even in the last sleep they should be as
they always had been, kept benesth her
pillow. Years passed By and Rossetti's
fame grew until every line of his compost
ton became precious, and some of those
who priced his writing most
asked him for copies of the songs
that had been buried. He had kept no
copies, or they had been lost.
At all events he could furnish none, and
when they asked him to rewrite the verses
he declared that he was utterly unable to
do go. At last his friends importuned
him for permission to have the original
manuscripts exhumed. He consented af-
ter some hesitation, and, all the necessary
preliminsriss having been complied with,
the grave which had been sealed for many
years was opened in the presence of a
wondering few. Then a strange thing was
found. The casket containing the poems
has proven to be of peri-hable material
and its cover had crumbled away. The
long tresses of the girl had grown after
death and had twined and intertwined
among the leaves of the poets paper, coil
ing around the written words of love in q
loving embrace long after death had sealed
the lips and dimmsd the eyes that had
made response to that love.

We had a talk the othex day about

my mind two or three other ghostly
things. For example: As rode along in

could stand the apples.
Some men can see business opportuni-
| ty. During the last three days q New York
man has been on hand with q thousand
light little stools which he sold to short
men so that they could look over the heads
of the ordinary crowd and see the parades.
After the show passed he gathered up as
| many of the abandoned stools as he could
and bought others back at small sum for
future use.
They have queer ideas of what consti-
tutes insanity in Louisville, where a man
has been arrested charged with lunacy. He
began singing ''Tars-ra-boom- decay" last
Friday and kept it up two days and two
nights consecutively and when arrested
sang it while being taken through the
streets in patrol wagon. If constant and
unwearied singing of "Tara ra" is fair
test there are many lunatics.
Columbus has been credited with doing
some difficult and wonderful feats, but a
minister of Providence, Rhode Island, put
it on pretty thick when he said: GAS
Columbus leaves Palos, standing on the
poop deck, looking Godward with thanks
and trust, looking landward with memo
ries of all that he had met and conquered,
looking seaward, filed with hope and am-
bition, he is an object worthy of admira-
tion." A man who could look all those
ways at once would indeed be worthy of
admiration.
Cardinal Howard's death reduces the
number of cardinals now living to ffty-one,
all save ten of whom were appointed by
the present Pope. Since Leo's succession
to the Papaoy no less than eighty-six wear
ers of the scarlet have died. Twenty-four
of the surviving cardinals live in Rome,
although three of them are Germans, and
three are French; and of the remaining
twenty seven, nine are Italians, six French
men, three Austrians, three Spaniards, two
Portuguese, with one from each of these
four countries: the United States, Canada,
Belgium and Australia.
The Springfield Republican explains why
the landing of Columbus should be cele-
brated in New York on October II and in
Chicago on October 81. It is due to the
correction of the calendar by Pope Gre
CORY XIII in 1852, by expunging 10 days
to restore the equinox to it's proper posi-
ton in the year, SO that while this ami
versary would by old style fall on the 18th,
by the new style 1t would fall on the ed
But as Columbus set sail from Palos on a
Friday, discovered Guanahsni on Friday

day, and on a Friday (March 10, 1493,)
made again the port of Palos, the 21st,
falling on Friday of 1892, most ftly
