Lincoln at GettysburR.

John G. Nicolay, who was Mr.. Lin
coins private secretary, and who ac-
companied the President when he
made his immortal speech at Gettys-
burg, contributes an article to the Feb
ruary Century" describing the occa-
sion and comparing the various YER
sions of the speech. He thus describes
it's delivery:
At about IL O'Clock the presidential
party reached the platform. Mr.. Ever
EFT, the orator of the day, arrived fully
half an hour later, and there was still
further waiting before the military
bodies and civic spectators could be
properly ranged and stationed. 1t
was, therefore, fully noon before Mr..
Everett began his address, after which,
for two hours, be held the assembled
multitude in rapt attention with his
eloquent description and argument,
his polished diction, his carefully
studied and practised delivery.
When he had concluded, and the
band had performed the usual musi-
cal interlude, President Lincoln rose
to fill the part assigned him In the pro-
gramme. 1t was entirely natural for
every one to expect that this would
consist Of a few perfunctory words,
the mere formality Of official dedica-
ton. There is every probability that
the assemblage regarded Mr.. Everett
as the mouthpiece, the organ of ex-
preston of the thought and feeling OF
the hour, and took it for granted that
Mr. Lincoln was there as a mere
official fgure-head, the eliminating
decoration, so to speak, of the elabor-
ately planned pageant Of the day.
They were, therefore, totally unpre-
pared for what they heard, and could
not Immediately realize that his
words, and nOs those Of the carefully
selected orator, were to carry the con-
centrated thought of the occasion like
a trumpet-peal to farthest pOsterity.
The newspaper records indicate that
when Mr.. Lincoln began to speak, he
held in his hand the manuscript first
draft Of his address which he had fin
ished only q short time before But
it is the distinct recollection of the
writer, who sat within few feet Of
him, that he did not read from the
written pages, though that impression
was naturally left upon many of his
auditors. That 1t was not q mere me-
chanical reading Is, however, more
definitely confirmed by the circum-
stance that Mr.. Lincoln did not de-
liver the address In the exact form in
which his first draft Is written. 1t
was taken down in shorthand by the
reporter for the Associated Press"
telegraphed to the principal cities, and
printed ON the following morning In
the leading newspapers.

AGAINST THE NEGRO.
COMPETENT COLoRED GIRLS BEING
DISCHARGED.

Notwithstanding the Civil service
law and the fact that young colored
girls pass successfully the examination
for printers assistants in the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing, they have no
bar to the wholesale Dismissal of
young colored girls who have passed
the examination. The negro demo
Gratis who have been advertising the
principals of the democratic party can.
not consistently go on the stump in
90 and appeal to the negro to sup.
port a party that discriminates
against the race on account of color.
Claud NJ. Johnson, the chief of the
Bureau, is Kentucky democrat; he
has no appreciation for the ability on
colored ladies; he dislike to see these
young ladies placed on official equal
ity with his ignorant white sisters,
Mr.. Rosenvelt, in his report to
the President did not go far
enough. He should insist on an
investigation and let this subject be
known to the world.

He is sound on the Degro ques.

and the legislature of New Hamp

Walter Camp on Football.

As to the amount of time taken by q
football player from his studies: In
the first place, the early practice of
some three weeks is taken not from
his studies, but from his summer Eaca-
ton. October and November are the
only months wherein he Is both play
ing football and studying. During the
first Of these his practice usually con-
sists of two half-hours in the after
noon. In November he may be re-
quired, in addition to this, to 60
through signals for a half-hour in the
evening, also. 1t is easy to see that
the actual time occupied is, therefore,
far from excessive. But during the
last fortnight before the great game
the football man will become more or
less wrapped up in his fancies of vic
tory or defeat. Up to this time the
player, in distinction from the captain,
has had few worries. He has been
coached, but has not been required to
study out problems Of attack and de-
fense, tricks and strategies, plays for
emergencies, and plans of operation.
This has become the duty Of the
coaches and the captain. The coach is
usually a graduate who has sacrificed
a vaaction at some other period of the
year to assist III the fall work. Thus
the coaches answer an excellent pur-
pose in taking from the shoulders of
the players the too fascinating and en-
crossing study of tactics. There is no
doubt that when team play really be-
gins in earnest, as it does at the end of
October, the captain thinks of foot
ball more than of lessons; but that
very man has usually been selected on
account of his mental ability, and /
have never known a football captain
at Yale who did not keep up with his
class and pass satisfactory examina-
tons. The ''bummer' gets dropped
and the exceedingly bright but dissi-
pated collegian falls by the wayside;
sometimes even the plodding but stu
pid worker has to give up; but man
whose mental attributes and moral
qualities win him the captaincy of a
football team is sure to pull through
in spite of the demands made upon his
time.
The reason that college authorities
are so little moved by the clamor
against athletics is that they know
from the results of their previous and
continuing investiga tons that the good
far overbalances the evil, and that no
better example could be placed before
the college of the value of sustained
self-control.-From an open letter in
the February Century.

Rivals.

I heard this spirit Of rivalry very
funnily expressed some time ago. Two
little girls were, on the surface, friends,
but each consumed with a desire to
outdo each other, as there was really
no love lost between them. During
luncheon at school one day one waited
until all the busy tongues had stopped
a second to take rest, and then re-
marked with empressment: I'VE had
ham, with champagne sauce, for din
ner last nightr' and waited to gee the
effect of her announcement 1t was
a success. Every child paused and
ohed and ahed, until the rival, not lik-
ing such an expression Of popular SEN
timent, exclaimed scornfully: Huh!
That's nothing! We have our hams
boiled In champagnep' And number
one retired ignOminiously from the
field, until next time.-Boston Adver-
tiser.

A RARE OCCURRENCE.

Mr.. Eckenrode's Eel Catch Almost I'm
parallelled In the Annals of Fishing.
A remarkable haul of eels was made
who was fishing along the Tulpehock-
en-. There Is variety Of eels known
as the tandem eel, which is very sell
dom found in this State, though COM
mon in the West. A popularity Of this
variety Is that they travel, when mi
grating, single file, about six inches
apart, and maintain that distance ex-
actly during the time Of their progress.
II one Of the lot shoots ahead too rap
idly the one following Immediately
grasps him by the tail, in order To
drag him back to his proper place iD
the line. They appear to have a re-
markable instinct for distance, and the
variation of an inch will cause the
rear eel to exercise his authority to
put the brakes on the one ahead.
While Mr.. Eckenrode was fishing he
hooked one OF the travellers, very
remarkable circumstance, as they sell
dom bite while migrating. As soon as
he had hooked 1T he, Of course, gave o
haul on the line, which caused this par
ticular eel to shoot ahead. He was
Immediately grasped by the one fol
lowing, and as that one likewise shot
ahead the next one did the same, so
that when Mr.. Eckenrode began to
haul out he found solid rope of eels.
Dropping his rod and line he grasped
the living rope and began to haul in
hand over hand. He kept hauling in
and piling up the eels until he was ut
terly exhausted, when he was obliged
to stop and cut the connection. He
quickly ran for assistance, and q num-
Der of the neighbors came to help him
take care Of his rare catch. When
they were all gathered up and loaded
on wagons it was found that he had
S75 pounds. About $50 worth were
sent to the Reading market, and the
rest were distributed among his neigh
bors.
The news of his remarkable catch
has spread all over the upper part Of
the county, and great many fisher
men have been endeavoring to repeat
1t, but without success, since, accord
ing to naturalists, an occurrence of this
sort is one of the rarest In fishing

EMANCIPATION DAY.

The citizens of south Washing
ton have decided to celebrate the
10th day of April. The BEE under
stands that there is an effort to
have street parade. This Is q
mistake if any attempt in that di-
recti0n is carried into effect. There
is no need of street parade, it will
be injurious and unwise, consider
ing the condition of the times.
The money that ia collected to
carry On street psrades, should be
appropriated for a more beneficial
purpose.
There is y home in this city for
INDECENT colored women and chill
dren and an orphan
asylum that need the aid
and support of all classes of peo-
pie, and if the managers would only
consider the Importance of aiding
these worthy enterprises the
would be doing what is right an y
just.

EXODUsOF NEGROES.

The latest report is that there
was an exodus of negroes to Africa
from Atlanta Ga, on March 9th.
The BEE is Of the opinion thai
this is an unwise move on the Fart
of the American negroes, especial
ly when there are so many more de-
sireable locations IN the west
where they can 20 and receive
better accommodations.
There is room enough 10 the
south for the colored man if b.
would only use his political pres-
taee and power in the proper d.
rection or retire from politics.
