Lincoln and tn. Omeer-seeLer

II is well known that Mr.. Cleveland has
been for a year or two student in his own
manner of the career of Lincoln, and he is
fond of hearing anything which illustrates
Lincoln's method. Therefore il was with
keen pleasure that the following anecdote,
which believe is entirely new, was listen
ed to by him. He had been discussing the
Offices and the clamor of Office seekers,
when a gentleman said 10 him: Mr.
Cleveland. l will tell you a story about
Mr. Lincoln and an office-seeker which
NAV contain hint. In 1868, after the fall
of Nicksburg, a man came TO Mr.. Lincoln
seeking an Office He had known Mr.
Lincoln very well in the early ffties. but
had drifted South. He claimed TO have
been always a whig and a Union man, al
though compelled to hide his sentiment
until Vicksburg fell. He wanted an office
and good one, and he was very Emporium
ate.
AT last Mr.. Lincoln said TO him: John,
when | was a young man, about the time
first went TO 5 ringfeld TO live, was in
vited to a dance, and / was very proud
Of the invitation. I remember that
bought a new hat and a very good one.
for it cost me more than any other hat
had ever bought. and l was very proud to
wear it TO the dance. Well, | enjoyed my
self so much at this hop that stayed very
late, about the last one TO leave, if l re-
member, and as l was ready to go / said to
the colored man who had charge of the
coats and hats: Now, John, | wish you
would bring me my hat" He brought me
a hat that had been worn for long time
and was very rusty and shabby, and l said
to him: This isn't my hat; wore a new
one, and then he replied: ''Mr. Lincoln.
the new ones were all gone two hours ago -
THE office-seeker did not catch the hint
for a moment or two, but when he did e
burst out laughing and said that he had
forgotten that it was two years since Mr..
Lincoln had any offices to give, and then
he went away and Mr.. Lincoln never saw
him again
Mr.. Cleveland laughed heartily at this
story and seemed TO be greatly impressed
with the tact shown by Mr.. Lincoln in
thus dealing with persistent office-seeker.

Death of Charles Henry GOodhue.

Charles Henry, eldest son of Rev. Hen
~ A. Goodhue, died in Minneapolis on the
10th inst. after a short illness from typhoid
pneumonia. His age was "A years and one
month. He was a native of West Barn
stable, Mass, where his father was pastor
from 1862 to 1888. In 1884 Townshend
became the residence Of the family, where
he was a student in Leland and Gray semi
nary until the spring of 1856. when Ed
ward Winslow, who had been for several
years clerk in Dea. S. D. Winslow's store,
left to 90 West and Charles Goodhue was
given the position. He was then Il years
of age. In a few months he acquired so
thorough knowledge of his business that
he was frequently left alone with the store,
sometimes for days at time. His father
having decided TO remove from Towns
bend to Westminster in 1887, Charles, de-
sirous of a better education, entered Mt
Hermon school in September, remaining
there for two years.
In December, 1889, he received the offer
of position in the Union national bank
of Minneapolis, through Dea. Winslow
and A. T. Kelley, vice president Of the
bank. He accepted this Offer being oblig-
ed, in order TO do so, TO give up place in
Adams q Parks's store in Chester, which
he had filed but short time He quick
ly gained the con fidence and esteem of the
officers of the bank, as he did of his EN-
plOyers everywhere. He was ready to do
faithful and honest work, and although he
was diffident by nature and did not make
friends as easily as some, he always re-
tanned such as he made. He had been
promoted TO an advanced position in the
bank only a short time previous to his ill
ness. Immediately after going to Mime
apOlis he became connected with Plymouth
church in various branches of It's work.
Funeral services were held in that church
on Sunday afternoon, when special respect
was paid to his worth by his associates
among the young people of the Christian
EndeaVor society. The service here was
at the residence of his parents on Wednes-
day, conducted by Rev. Geo. F. Chaplin of
SaXtons River.
In the heavy affection which has come TO
them his parents wish TO acknowledge
the kindness and sympathy SO freely eX-
tended to them here, the assiduOus care
given TO him during his sickness by Mr..
Kelley and other Minneapolis friends-ev-
erything that was possible having been
done-and the testimonials which came
from the young people of Plymouth
church.

A Rival 90 EIectrieity.

THE leading engineers of Europe have
gone crazy over il, is the declaration of
Professor j. I. Nieolson of the faculty of
applied science Of McGill college, Mon
treal, the sit being compressed air as a
motive power. Professor Nicolson spent
last summer in Europe studying the sys-
TEN, and recently lectured on il before the
Canadian society of civil engineers. Com
pressed air systems, he says, are in sue
cessful operation in Paris, Offenbach, and
elsewhere. They are claimed to greatly
cheaper the cost of power. The great
central station at Paris has IL, 600 horse
power, soon TO be considerably increased.
From this central station pipes run all over
Paris, which are tapped TO run moters of
various sizes. The dynamOs for lighting
cafes and restaurants are in common use
in the French capital, driven by compress
ed air motors. Not a single accident has
occurred in the use of this motive power
II can be used just as easily as turning on
a tap for hot or cold water A great ad-
vantage is that after the air has been used
for power, it can be employed for refriger-
ating purposes, or for cooling buildings in
summer. In a cold climate the air might
be heated before being distributed for pow
er, and used for heating purposes. A part
of the SUMNER Pro essor NieolsOn spent at
Augsburg, South Germany, at the expert
mental station, where elaborate expert
ments are being carried on, and the conclu-
sion is that the compressed air system has
greater advantages than any other, not ex-
cepting electricity.
