LINCOLN'S TIMEPIECE.
It is Now Worn BY Pittsburgh Man and
Is Valuable Relic.

Is Valuable Relic.
1t is perhaps a noteworthy fact
that Abraham Lincoln left fewer
relics behind him than almost any
other Of our Presidents. Though his
death occurred such comparatively
short time ago. the objects which, so
to speak, are permeated with his per-
sonality, are exceedingly scarce. A
token doubly valuable on account of
the associations with which it is sur
rounded is in the possession Of Harry
G. Campbell, formerly Chairman of
the Campbell Burner company OF
Pittsburgh, who is temporarily stop
ping at the Astor House in this city.
1t is Hall open face gold watch
with case No. 1864, which was
| owned by President Lincoln and woru
by him during some of the most try
ing periods in our nations history
It came into Mr.. Campbelrs posses
sion in a rather curious manner.
Charles Heyser of Company ID,
Second United States Cavalry, en-
listed at Albany, this State, August
II, 1859. He was appointed acting
orderly to Adjutant General Thomas
in 1861, and by him was detailed a;
orderly to President Lincoln. Presi
dent Lincoln kept him busily EN-
ployed during the war carrying mess
ages to the different department.
and to the front and seemed to b,
much attached to him.
Christmas day, 1854, the Presiden
presented Hyser with the watch h
had been wearing as Christmas gift
He afterward took it back and ha
the inside case engraved in tine script
'To G. Heyser, A. Lincoln, Pres
dent, 1864" and returned it. Hey
ser carried the watch until Februar
q, 1889, when desiring to raise none
enough to get to his birthplace
Prussia he sold it to G. B. Todd
Pittsburgh, who, in turn, on Decen
Der ], 1892, sold it to Mr.. Campbel

Foot Cushions.

Among the little comforts Of life,
especially for invalids or people VINO
are inclined to be susceptible TO
draughts and changes of temperature,
are the foot or floor cushions tnat
are amoug the fads of dainty house
wives These cushions have for their
foundation a square or ordinary car
pet, body Brussels or Wilton. Ihis
is placed on the floor face down, ana
to the upper or wrong side is stitched
a cushion filed with hair Inc
cushion is about the size OF a large
square pillow, and after tilllng and
shaping, it is tufted or drawn down
with buttons. 1t is good plan to
put very large, smooth buttons on
the under side and smaller fancy
ones above. BY this means the
cushion is moved more easily across
the floor, the buttons making little
runners, as it were.
The cover can be OF plush, tapestry,
or any preferred material, but should
be of some fabric that is durable and
does not readily soil. A couple o
very handsome cushions have beer
covered with the bong, fleecy Angora
wool rugs that are so much liked
They are very soft for the feet an(
warm. Provided with one OF thes
/ as a protection for the feet, even tn
/ most sensitive Invalid may sit near
window and enjoy what is going o
In the world outside
There are various grades or woo
nlush that are valuable for such pu'
poses, and scme cushions nave bee
made entirely of fine carpet. Wllto
rugs and squares are especlall
adapted for this use. The edges ca
be plainly sewed in or finished Wit
cord or a bit of narrow wood firing
and the corners may have tassei
rosettes of material or ribbon bow
, loops of cord, or any decoration thi
the maker may choose tC use.
It is a good plan to put one or Z"
, very heavy, strong loops OF coro
thick braid in the sides. Inc
! should be fewed to the'carpet squa
before the other portion is put o

to make myself representative of the

that of the young clergyman who started
out to convert the world. When he was
ordained, he confded his hopes and am
billions to the bishop, who encouraged
him with a blessing and sent him on his
way. About year later the young cler-
gyman approached the bishop and said:

bishop. Go forth and try again, and

ga few years later the clergyman
again appeared before the bishop more
discouraged than ever and related his
failure to make any appreciable impress
sion on the United States. 'Henceforth
will confne my work to my native
state of Indiana Again the bishop
blessed him and sent him forth. After
long interval the young man encoun-
tered his spiritual chief. He had been
indulging in liquor, and the bishop re-
preached him, calling to mind his early
aspirations. Yes, [ remember came

we're the greatest toadies and snobs in the

there to ruralize and have rest. Well, on
one occasion found the family in great
furry of delighted excitement A few days
before MY visit an English lord had called
and left his card.
"This card l found on top of the basket
or receiver where such things are kept.
Unobserved by my friends, I took that card
and hid it under the carpet.
II called again the next day, and, behold
you, there was that same card, looking as it
it had been recently cleaned, back in the
same place.
again, without being detected, hid it
behind the curtains. Two days afterward
I saw it in it's old position of honor on top
of the pile.
AFTER that tried the inside of the piano
and then the bottom of q fowerpot, every
time with the same result.
'sBut at last I disposed of that card with
out destroying it or taking it out of the
house. Now, how do you fellows suppose
