LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG.

One OF the noteworthy features of the
bill passed by the House for turning
over to the United States the lands of
the Gettysburg Memorial Association,
is that which provides for erecting on
the grounds bronze tablet. having on
it a medallion likeness of Abraham
Lincoln, and the address, in full,
which he delivered at the dedication
Of the National Cemetery at that place,
on November 10, 1868.
The transmitting to posterity Of that
address was long ago assured, for it
is one of the sublime utterances that
the world does not allow to perish.
Yet it is eminently fit that it should
be engraved in enduring bronze and
set before the eyes Of visitors to the
greatest of American battle-tields for
generations to come.
The transfer of the charge of Gettys-
burg grounds to the Secretary of War
as a national military park is also a
wise measure The maintenance of
this wonderful memorial spot should
now be undertaken by the United
States, as is the case with the Chicka-
manga and Chattanooga grounds A
small appropriation of 50, 900 is made
by the bill for paying the debts of the
present memorial association, and one
of $75, 900 for purchasing land, open.
ing roads, and other improvements.
The provision for this transfer and
for paying the debts of the association
also appears as an item in the sundry
civil bill. so that in one form or another
it is likely to become a law. The
assumption of supervision by the Fed
eral government over these grounds will
probably be welcomed by the States
and by various bodies of survivors OF
the war that have erected monument.

methodical care and impartial superin
tendence. -New York Sun.

THE DECLINE OF WAR.

The warlike temperament of man
has been one of his most prominent
characteristics from the earliest times.
To live to fight has been the chief aim
of most primitive peoples, and has been
leading occupation of all civilized
ones. Armies have grown in size,
weapons have multiplied in number
and dnstructiveness, battles have
grown more and more deadly in action
while also becoming more merciful in
their accompaniments but still it is
everywhere apparent that. in spite of
these aids to carnage, the military
spirit is on the decline.
May we not look for the cause of this
in the enormously increased cost of
warfare and its interference with the
pursuit of prosperity and wealth !?
When the internal losses to a people
become greater than those they can
gain through conquest and annexation,
they will be very loath to enter into
great conflict.
am very far from saying that many
other causes, such as ethics and
growing spirit of mercy, may not have
contributed to this pacification of the
nations. but it is not true that the cost
of war is the chief preventive of war !?
If SO does it not illustrate the rule
that the reactions set up by the vast
technical improvement of methods of
destruction have reached on the prim-
tive cause of the destruction-viz,
the human willard have lessened
the cause by modifying the heart and
brain Of man p Popular Science

THE MOUSE ESCAPED.

A lady while engaged in the pursuit
of her domestic duties encountered a
mouse in the foul barrel. Now, most
ladies, under similar circumstances,
would have uttered few genuine
shrieks, and then sought safety in the
garrett, but this one possessed more than
the ordinary degree Of genuine courage
She summoned the man servant and
told him to get the gun, call the dog
and station himself at a convenient dis
lance. Then she clambered half way
upstairs, and commenced to punch the
flour barrel with pole.
Presently the mouse made its appear
ance and started across the floor. The
dog at once went in pursuit. The
man fred and the dog dropped dead,
the lady tainted and fell down the
stairs, and the man, thinking that she
was killed and fearing that he would
be arrested for murder, disappeared and
has not been seen since. The mouse
escaped. Amusing Journal.
