AN ANEcDoTE OF LINCOLN.
How He Kept Promise in the Appoint.
ment Of the Naval Officer Of
New York.

Lincoln's greatest act of kindness
to me was after he was elected Presi-
dent" said William H. Marston, the
we'll known broker, who was a close
friend of Lincoln, and his principal
client when the immortal war President
was a struggling Springfield lawyer. 81
was in Springfield very soon after the
election. He sent for me and said
Pick out any office in New York eX-
cept the Collector Of the Port and
Postmaster, and you shall have it, |
thanked him most heartily, and told
him how fully l appreciated the COM
piment he had paid me, but that | was
so situated in business could not
afford to accept any office. His
answer was Then look around
among your friends when you return to
New York and send me word what |
can do for the best one of them |
did as he suggested, and sent him the
name of George Denson, young and
promising lawyer, for the post of Naval
Officer of this port His reply was :
AN right, your friend shall have the
office He enjoined me to keep it a
profound secret, as it was the only
promise he had made or should make
until after his arrival at Washington,
He had never seen or heard of my
friend Denison up to that date.
"Time rolled on, and a few days
after Mr.. Lincoln was inaugurated, at
a Cabinet meeting, Secretary of State
William H. Seward got up and said he
had list of the names he wished acted
upon for office holders of the State of
New York. Mr.. Lincoln listened to
it, and then said in his gentle and quiet
way that it was all right with one ex-
ception, and that was the Naval Officer,
which he had already promised to
young Wall street friend of his, whose
name he had forgotten for the moment,
but that he knew he was all right and
would fill the position with credit, as l
had told him so, and that was enough
for him. Mr. Seward became very
angry, and intimated that it was a
high-handed piece of business on the
part of the President, and that unless
Mr.. Lincoln consented to appoint his
friend to that post he would not be
responsible for the Republican party in
the State. Mr.. Lincolns only reply
was he had never broken his word, and
that he was too old to commence then,
remarking further that he would not
act upon any of the other names until
he had assurance that my friend would
be confirmed by the Senate. Thus
things remained in stdtn quo for some
weeks, and in the meantime Mr.. Sc
ward had brought every power at his
command to bear on Mr. Lincoln, and
Mr.. T. Weed came over here to try
and persuade me to give up the office
and save the grand old party. Finally,
finding nothing could change the Pres
ident the names were all acted upon at
the same time, and my friend turned
out to be the best appointment of them
all. The only thing Mr.. Lincoln asked
me to do in return was to have his
Springfield shoemaker's son, Harry
Gourley, appointed a clerkship, which
l did in the spring of 1861, and he is
still in the Naval Office, being now
Deputy Naval Officer, and really run
ming the whole office. His salary now
is $4,000 a year"

FIRST STEAM WAR SHIP.
Canada Claims to Have Built 1t and
Also the First Troop Ship.

SaIldQd SldluiS ~ raw Duiis ~ eAAe
Also the First Troop Ship.
1t is generally known that the first
steam-driven ship to cross the Atlantic
was built in Canada. The information
is not so general, however, that this
same craft was subsequently converted
into a cruiser and was the first steam
ship engaged in actual war.
The facts in the case are stated in
Johnson's Alphabet of First Things
in Canada" The ship was the Royal
William. She was built at the Cove,
Quebec, in the winter of IS3o-3I, and
during the season of I832-33 piled
between Quebec and Halifax. In the
latter season she was sent to London
and there chartered by the Portuguese
Government to transport troops to
Brazil. Returning to London, she was
sold to the Spanish Government and
by the latter converted into cruiser
and employed against Don Carlos in
the civil war of 1896, thus being the
first steamer to fire hostile shot.
There is still another curious fact
that may have been overlooked--the
troops withdrawn from Canada upon
the close of the American war of
18I2-I5, for the purpose of joining the
army intended to crush Napoleon after
his return from Elba, were transported
down the St, Lawrence by Canadian
steamer This was probably the first
occasion on which a steam vessel was
used for purposes of military transport.
Canada, therefore, not only furnished
the world with the first steam war yes
sci, but she almost certainly provided
the first steam troop ship as we'll

The Queen Guarded by Detectives

The Queen of England is closely

her life When she proposes to ride
abroad, the information and the proba-
Bile route that she will take at once an
nounced to her special police by the
equerry on duty, and at certain points
along the road that she will travel
police are stationed and the roads care
fully watched. All kinds of queer
people, lunatics, cranks and adventur'
ers seek to gain her Majesty's atten-
ton, so that the utmost precautlon is
necessary in order to preserve her from
constant annoyance if not from actual
danger -Ne1e York Ledger.

Wanpole's
Tasteless
Preparation
Cod Liver Oil.

1t aims to cure Consumption,
Hits the Mark, too, and it
most effectually breaks up Colds,
Coughs, Hoarseness and all
Throat and Lung troubles that
cause this disease.
1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPoLE'S PREPARATION
OF COB LIVER Oh has power
toprevent Consumption, it sure
ly is able to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This vigor-making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
ly Tasteless, in so far as Cod
Liver Oil is concerned. All
you notice is delightful flavor
of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is a natu-
raj food that in it's stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchial
troubles it is unequalled. No
one doubts the value of Cod
Liver Oil, but not every one is
able to take it.

There is no remote chance of Eurasia
ever being reabsorbed by either of its
original elements; the prejudices of both
Europeans and natives are far too yigor-
Gus to permit of much intermarriage
with a people who are neither one
nor the other. Occasionally an up
country planter, predestined to a remote
and "jungly" existence, comes down to
Calcutta and draws his bride from the
upper circles of Eurasia-this not so
often now as formerly. Occasionally,
too, a young shopman with the red of
Scotland fresh in his cheeks is carried
off by his landlady's daughter, while
Tommy Atkins falls a comparatively
easy prey.
The sight of native with half caste
wife is much rarer, for there Eurasian
as we'll as native antipathy comes into
operation. The whole conscious in
clination of Eurasian life, in habits,
taste, religion and most of all in ambi-
ton, Is toward the European and away
from the native standards.-Sara j.
Duncan in Popular Science Monthly.

A Feat In writing.

John J. Taylor, of Streator, Ills, once
wrote LOO words on the blank side of a
postal card. This was sent to Chicago
paper, which heralded the story to the
world as being the most wonderful piece
of penwork ever executed. AS matter
of fact Mr.. Taylors effort has been dis
counted on several occasions. Beedle,
the penman of Ottery st. Mary, Liver
pool, once wrote the following pieces en-
tire, without the slightest abbreviation,
all upon piece of cardboard 81 by 81
inches in size: Goldsmith's Traveller"
"The Deserted Village" Essay on Edu-
cation" "Distress of Disabled Soldier"
THE Tale of Aim, -" Justice" Gen
erosity,"" Irresolution of Youth, ""Frail-
ty of Man, Friendship" and the 'Ge-
MUS of Love"
In the center of the card there was a
perfect picture of Ottery church, all of
the shades and lines being formed of
parts of the writing. AS kind Of tale
piece he added the anthem of God Save
the Queen" embellished it with seventy
two stars, fifty-one crescents and nine
teen crosses, finishing the whole by draw
ing a picture of serpent which inclosed
the whole of the miraculous production.
If YOU wish to ascertain exactly how
much Beedle's effort exceeded that OF
Mr.. Taylor, count the words in the
Goldsmith pieces catalogued above.-St.

The Cruelty of War.

An incident related in the biography
of Sir Provo Wallis, admiral of the Brit
lsh fleet, brings home to the reader the
cruel nature of war. 1t occurred dur
ing the war of 1879. An American cap
tain had taken fine ship to Lisbon,
where she had sold her cargo for the
use of the British army under yelling
ton, and received several thousands of
dollars in return, which were on board.
Meantime war had been declared, and
on her homeward voyage she fell vic
tim to the British squadron. One of the
principal objects of her captors was to
obtain information. The American cap
tain was sent on board the Shannon
which afterward captured the famous
Chesapeake-but was kept in ignorance
of the war and of the fact that he was a
prisoner.
He answered unreservedly all the ques-
tons put to him, and Captain Broke,
who greatly disliked the deception he
had been obliged to practice, now felt it
difficult to make the prisoner acquainted
with the next step which must be taken
At length he forced himself to say:
Captain, must burn your ship"
The American, overcome by surprise,
faltered, Burn herr
Indeed l must"
Burn her for what? Will not money
save her? She is all my own-snd all

eyes," said Broke.
Both parties were painfully moved,
and the scene did not end without tear
from each, but duty was duty, and the
prize was destroyed. - Youths Com

Virus and Venom,

The difference between venom and y
virus is very marked. Both are poisons,
and both of organic origin, but venom
Is produced in secreting organs, COM
monty called poison glands, and is intro
duced into the system by means especial
ly adapted for the purpose, such as stings
or fangs. On the other hand, virus is
the result of disease or putrefaction, and
generally possesses the property of excit-
ing in the system into which it is intro
duced the disease which produced the
virus. A virus commonly produces lit
tie, if any, local disturbances a venom
generally causes great pain, often severe
Inflammation and swelling. Venom has

The Sultan of Morocco.

1t is generally stated and believed that
the sultan of Morocco, like the car, is
at once the temporal and the spiritual
head of his people, but this is not quite
true. Though one of his many titles is
that of guardian and commander OF
the true believers" this authority IL
very shadowy-at least as far as the
Kairouin is concerned-and the sultan
had an opportunity Of judging some three
years ago Of the danger that might re-
suit from his interference in purely
church government. For some reason
or other he commanded that the mokad-
dunn, or chief trustee of the university
An Office which has been hereditary in
one family since the death of the Tu-
nissan Fatma-be dismissed.
This was done, but within three days
there arose such an outcry and hubbuo
at the sultans attempt to exercise I'M
wonted authority in church matters that
he very wisely bethought him to an
nounce that in dream the apparition
of his sainted father had appeared to
him and requested him to reinstate the
mokaddum. The mokad(rlm was rein
stated, and the sultan has never inter
fered again in the affairs of the un1Ver-
