To make money these days requires not only "hustling" ability,
but the means must necessarily be new, and OF general value to all
men. The avenues of trade in any business that every man has an
equal opportunity to enter are already overcrowded, and the chances
for LARGE profits. except with stupendous capital, are very meagre.
Therefore, in the beginning, let it be understood that Oxyzone ac-
complshes something that has never before been possible.
There is nothing on the face of the earth or in the waters
beneath which is liable to decay or change that OXYZONE
will not preserve, pure and sweet, against the raVaggsss

LINCOLN AND MATRIMoNY.
Arprehensive That the Pathway Was
Not One of fIowcrs.

Not One of Flowers.
Letters from Lincoln to his closest
friend, Joshua Fry Speed, subsequent
to the Iatter's marriage betray an anx-
ious and impatient desire to learn if
marriage is pathway Of flowers and
sunlight, and not of darkness and pain
the two had morbidly feared it to be.
John Gilmer Speed presents these h.th-
erto unpublished letters bearing upon
"Lincoln's Hesitancy to Marry" in the
Ladies Home Journal. In one Lincoln
says:
1T cannot be told how it now thrills
me with joy to hear you say you are
far happier than you ever expected to
be- That much I know is enough
know you too well to suppose your ex-
pectations were not, at least sometimes,
eXtravagant, and if the reality exceeds
them all I say, enough, dear Lord. |
am not going beyond the truth wnen
tell you that the short space it took me
to read your last letter gave me more
pleasure than the sum total OF all
have enjoyed since the fatal first OF
January, 1871. Since then, it seems to
me. I should have been entirely happy
but for the naver-absant idea that there
is one freferring to Miss Mary Todd
who is still unhappy, whom have con-
T4butcd to make SO. That still kills my
soul I cannot but reproach myself fer
even wishing to be happy while she is
otherwise. She accompanied large
party in the railroad cars to Jackson
vile last Monday, and on her return
spoke SO that heard of it, of having en-
joyed the trip exceedingly. God De
praised for that. One thing | can tell
you which I know you will be glad to
hear, and that is that I have seen Mary
and scrutinized her feelings as well as
I could, and am fully convinced she is
far happier nov than she has been for
the last fifteen months past"
Eight months after Speed had mar
ried Mr. Lincoln wrote him:
''But want to ask a close question:
Are you now in feeling as. we'll as
judgment glad that you are married as
you are?' From anybody but me this
would be an imprudent question not to
be tolerated; but know you willpardon
it in me Please answer it quickly, ash
am impatient to know"
Mr.. Lincolns object in asking this
''close question" is manifest. Mr.. Speed
gave the answer quickly and satisfac-
torily, and on the fourth of November
QS42), enc month exactly after the
question had been submitted, Mr.. Lin
coin was married

the melancholy infection of young Fer

"What is it, George?" she whispered.
Even in the semidarkness of the Ka-

might have been observed to take on a
paler shade, and for a moment the
youth did not reply. The cat on the rug

general order to the G. \. r. for the
posts to meet and give expression to ttfe
Cuban movements. ! answered thatit was
entirely unnecessary as the soldiers of
this land are quite capable of expressing
themselves on all patriotic suhiects.'

d dollar one afternoon. When The officer
was there he was dressed in citizens
clothes, and Ben was surprised to see
him in uniform.

Mr. Ferry afterward. But that would

Captured Only One.

The local police navy, consisting Of the
slow and incommodious boat Joe Black
burn" manned by an efficient crew of off,
GERS under Harbormaster Sutton went out
yesterday to make a raid on persons sus-
pected Of having nets in the river. 1t was
about l o'clock in the afternoon when the
start was made, but no big nets were
found, and it is generally supposed that
these yiolators Of the law do their work
at night. When the boat reached George
town two members of the crew in citizens
clothes went in a row boat in the direction
Of the Cham bridge, and when only a
short distance this side of the bridge they
sighted violator of the law. This violator
was man named William White who was
in small boat with his son catching a few
perch and herring for his family. White
is a laborer whose salary is hardly suf!i-
cient to provide the necessaries of life for
his large family, and 1t was for this reason
that he went out with his son to get
enough fish to last the family few days.
White begged piteously for his liberty.
but the officers were powerless in the mat
ter, and they arrested him.
This morning the unfortunate man, who
had used dip net. was arraigned in the
Police Court, and he admitted his guilt
The officers in stating the case, told the
court of the prisoners condition, and Judge
Miller released him on his personal recog-
nizance, warning him that he had better
catch fish with an outline or buy them in
the future. His boat and fish were confis-
Gated.
