LINcoLN,s APPARITioN.
he Saw Ghostly Image Of Himself In a
Looking Glass.

Looking Glass.
Mr.. Noah Brooks, in his personal rem
inisoences of Lincoln in The Century,
tells the following strange story:
On the day mentioned Lincoln mar
rated an incident the particulars Of
which wrote out and printed directly
after These are his own words, as
nearly as they could then be recalled:
'fIt was just after my election in
1860, when the news had been coming
in thick and fast all day and there had
been a great 'hurrah boys, SO that l
was we'll tired out and went home to
rest, throwing myself down on lounge
in my chamber. Opposite where lay
was bureau with swinging glass
upon it, (and here he got up and placed
furniture to illustrate the position),
land looking in that glass / saw myself
reflected nearly at full length, but my
face, noticed, had two separate and
distinct images, the tip of the nose Of
one being about three inches from the
tip of the other. / was little bothered,
perhaps startled, and got up and looked
in the glass, but the illusion vanished.
On lying down again, saw it a second
time, palmer if possible than before,
and then | noticed that one Of the faces
was little paler-say five shades
than the other. I got up, and the thing
melted away, and went off, and in this
excitement of the hour forgot all about
it-nearly, but not quite, for the thing
would once in awhile come up and give
me little pang as if something uncom-
Portable had happened.
"When l went home that night, l
told my wife about it, and few days
afterward made the experiment again,
when" with a laugh ''sure enough the
thing came again, but l never succeed
ed in bringing the ghost back after
that, though l once tried very indus
triously to show it to my wife, who
was somewhat worried about it. She
thought it was sign that was to be
elected to a second term of Office, and
that the paleness of one of the faces was
an omen that l should not see life
through the last term. "
This is a very remarkable story-a
coincidence, we may say-to which
some significance was given by the cruel
death of the president soon after the be-
ginning of his second term. told Mrs.
Lincoln the story and asked her if she
remembered its details. She expressed
surprise that Mr.. Lincoln was willing
to say anything about it, as he had up
to that time refrained from mentioning
the incident TO anybody, and as she was
firm in her belief that the optical illu-
sion (Which it certainly was) was a
warning l never again referred to the
subject to either the president or his
wife.
Subsequently Lincoln's version of the
story was confirmed by Private Score
tary John Hay, who, however, was of
the opinion that the illusion had been
seen on the day of Lincoln's first nomi-
nation, and not, as l have said, on the
day of his first election.

The MODERN OYSTER STEW.
The Middle Aged Man Contrasts It With
the Stew of Before the War.

The Middle Aged Man Contrasts It With
the Stew of Before the War.
when l was boy, before the war, "
said middle aged man the price of
an oyster stew in good ordinary res
taurant was 1919 cents The price has
gradually gone up until now, in good
restaurant, an ordinary stew costs 90
cents. In the old restaurant there was
a cloth upon the table, but this cloth,
unless you happened to find it when it
had just been put on, was apt to be fres-
coed with coffee stains There were
catchup and vinegar and SO Oh, some of
them perhaps in bottles in caster.
Perhaps the writer gave you pickle or
two. The light was not very bright
The waiter brought the stew in an oys-
ter plate, and as the hot broth washed
about little in the plate as he carried
it and set it down you were afraid it
might burn his thumb. But the oysters
were good Let me pause to remark that
the oyster is something to be grateful
for
To-day the table, without cloth
perhaps, is cherry or mahogany, finely
polished. For cloth there is spread
before you napkin of ample dimen-
sions and bright and fresh. The pickle
is chopped up celery and very good.
You get two kinds of crackers, and
plenty of them, and generous portion
of French bread. The butter comes in
slightly little cone. The table furni-
ture is all good-dishes, glass, every
thing The spread before you is agree
able to the eye, and the whole scene is
brilliantly lighted with the modern in
candescent lamps. The stew comes IN
an oval dish that rests upon plate. l
don't like to eat out of such dish so
we'll as do out of a plate, but you
know at least there is no danger burn
ing the waiter S thumb. The oysters are
good; the whole arrangement is away
beyond the stew of before the war. 1t
costs more, but are we not better able to
pay for it? For general get up and get
and dash and style and comfort the old
stew couldn't begin to compare with it.
The modern oyster stew is one Of many
things that we do an everlasting sight
better than we did. New York Sun.

HE ARRIVED LATER.

Colonel John S. Wise Did Not Meet Cen
eral Sherman In Brazil.
Everybody knows that Colonel Wise
fought as mere boy in the southern
army, became a Republican after the
war and ran an unsuccessful race for
governor of Virginia. He has been on
the field of honor more than once, but
no longer believes in the duello as he
did in his younger days. While Vir-
gilman to the core still he is not native
of the Old Dominion, At that famous
Astor House dinner few years ago
made memorable by the eulogy Mr.. De-
pew passed on President Cleveland,
General W. T. Sherman, in the course
of very interesting speech, alluded to
a trip made by him to California in
1916, via the cape. He stopped off at
Rio Janeiro on Christmas eve to pay
his respects to Hon. Henry A. Wise, at
that time United States minister to
Brazil, and was Hospitality entertained.
"What time did you leave the minis
ter's house?" queried Colonel John S.
Wise, who was one. of the guests, inter
rupting General Sherman.
"At 9 O'Clock, Christmas eve, re-
sponded old Tecumseh.
eff you had just waited two hours
longer, general, I'd have been glad to
make your acquaintance, said Wise.
Two hours later the young Wise made
his first appearance on this terrestrial
globe. - Washington Post.
