LINCOLN TO SCHURZ.

Nv attention has been directed by
Major E. S. Bulls of Cleveland to a
letter written by President Lincoln to
Carl Secure. He was in Spain when
the war of the Rebellion began, where
he had been sent by Lincoln to repre-
sent this government. He came home
ostensibly to fight. It is we'll known
to all, perhaps, that he became only
commonplace soldier,-hardly that, in
fact. He wrote Lincoln a letter di-
rectly after the autumn election IN
1862, and got an answer stralghtWay.
The answer is the letter to which Ma
jor Bulls called my attention. Some
parts OF it are exceedingly breezy and
frank, and I quote them with consid-
cradle satisfaction. II have just re-
ceived and read your letter of the
2Oth'' (November), wrote Lincoln
"The purport of it is that we lost the
late elections, and the administration
is failing because the war is unsuc-
cessful, and that I must fiatter myself
that 1 am not justly to blame for it.
the administration fails, and that [
will be blamed for it whether [ de-
serve it or not. And I ought to be
blamed if I could do better. You think
I could do better. You think I could
do better, therefore, you blame me al
ready. think I could not do better,
therefore, blame you for blaming me.
I understand you now to be willing to
accept the help of men who are not
republicans, provided they have heart
in it, Agreed. I want no others.
But who is to be judge Of hearts or Of
the heart in it?' i'll must discard my
own Judgment and take yours, must
also take that Of others, and by the
time I should reject all I should be ad-
vised to reject I should have
none left, republicans or others, not
even yourself. To be assured, my
dear rand here Lincoln took out
his knife and cut deep, -"there are
men who have 'heart in it, that think
that you are performing your part as
poorly as you think am performing
mine. In answer to your question:
HAS it not been publicly stated in the
newspapers, and apparently proved
as fact, that from the CONNIE nee
ment of the war the enemy was con-
tinually supplied with inform alton by
some Of the confidential sub ordinates
of as important an officer as Adj utant-
General Thomas?'-I must say, no, SO
far as my knowledge extends. And 1
add that, if you can give any tangible
evidence upon the subject, L will thank
you to come to this city and do -

Henry ". Of France always insisted
upon his children calling him papa as
he did not wish them to address him by
titles Of sire and majesty, according to
the ceremonial adopted at foreign
courts. He was in the habit of taking
in the childish amusments of his little
ones. One day, as hewas going round
the room on all tours with the Dauphin,
his first born, on his back, an ambassa-
dor unexpectedly entered his apart
ment. The king, without changing his
posture, said to him.
"Sir, have you children of your
own"
eyes, SIRE" was the reply.
''Ah! well, in that case I will finish
my ride round the room.'

MARVELiS OF ELECTRICITY.

Here are some Of the marvels Of
electricity discoursed upon by Samu-
ell Watson, practical engineer, to
the St. Louis Globe Democrat: It
would strike you as rather funny to
see the slender line of SPIDERS
web conveying the power from a $50
horse power engine, wouldn't it? But
it has been demonstrated that such a
thing can be done. Now let us start
with the most common and general
method of Transporting power, the
ordinary leather belt Sir Robert
Ball, an eminent and scientific engi
neer, has found that the heavy, SLOW
running belt, can, when the conditions
are favorable for change from
weight to speed, be done away with,
and light, fast running cotton rope
may take its place with greater
amount of satisfaction than the belt
ing ever gave. Following up this line
of thought, 1t has been demonstrated
that rope as light as sewing cotton,
going at the same rate of speed as 4
rife ball, would satisfactorily carry a
single horse power. Now take the
extreme highest line known in the
world, that Of the spiders web, and
the extreme highest known velocity
Of travel, which is that of light, and
we find, astounding as it may seem,
that if line Of SPIDERS web could DE
driven at the speed Of light, it would
satisfactorily carry something over
$50 horse power Singular isn't it,
but Sir Robert BalPs discovery in this
respect is going to be of inestimable
value in electricity in a very short
while.

Undoubtedly one way Of testifying a
genuine affection is by helpinga some
what tinid sutton. A member of the
House of Commons was once very
grateful for graceful and witty bit Of
encouragement from the lady of his
choice.
For long time he had been paying
the lady attention and had taken her
to attend the house until she was well
acquainted with the rules
One day he brought a bouquet of
flowers and said, "May I offer you my
handful Of 1owers?''
She replied promptly, ''I move to
amend by emitting all after the word
hand!"
He blushingly and happily accepted
the amendment, and the motion was
adopted unanimously.

The house bill arpropriatine $50, 600 for
the Montana exhibit at Chicago was read u
third time. Gibson said he was opposed to
the passage of the bill as it read: tn divi-
sion of the money was wrong. tie thought
that $25. 600 for printing to advertise the
resout ces of the state was small enough,
and yet this had been cut down to $4,000, a
verv insignificant sum-.
Goddard also opposed the bill. but not
for the same reason as Gibson. The for
mer objected to that section of the bill
that gives the executive commissioner the
right to use money set apart for one de-
partment in another in which there may be
a deficiency. Goddard characterized the
provision as II dangerous one. On motion

WAS no big surprise in the joint assembly

ception was Benson, who started in with
his party, but changed to Clark whom he
found that his democratio associate. Tier
ney, had gone to Sanders. OF those who
wore within party lines four did not vote
for Mantle, but scattered between Sanders,
Couch and Carte. Ii the joint assembly

IT is reported that James l.. Flood,
the California millionaire, contemplates
building a new theater in Denver. Mr..
Flood should be encouraged to visit
Helena with a view to building a thea
ter in this city. Denver already IS we'll
supplied in this line, and Helena has
nothing at all, although it is one of the
best theater towns in the country, and
a we'll managed opera house could be
made to pay handsomely. By the way,
with all the wealth in Helena, it is little
short of disgraceful that our own peo-
pie have not enterprise enough to take
this matter in hand.
