A VISION OF HEAVEN.


That Is WHAT a Party of Woodchoppers
Say They Saw.
MoNT RIGA, Conn, Feb. IA. Wood
choppers living on the mountains were
treated to wonderful mirage at an
early morning hour 1t showed to the
most minute detail a land far more
beautiful than this earth. The sight
lasted few moments and then
vanished. Stretching from east to
west was seen land of many colors.
1t seemed to those who gazed on it in
spellbound admiration that heaven had
opened its doors. A city whose streets
We're like gold was plainly depicted.
Strange buildings were also dlmly
defined. Here and there were seen
little white-winged angels floating
about. Thrones of white material
were also discovered. 1t seemed as
though strange music could be heard
The on-lookers were SO enraptured that
they sank down in the snowupon their
knees and stretched forth their hands.
Suddenly the streets seemed changed
into fire, while back and forth across
fiery mist strange beirgs foated. This
lasted only an instant. Then this
sight changed and for the last time the
golden streets appeared.

Relieving the Landlord.

An interesting outgrowth of the
difficulty found by many tenement

is a concern that takes such buildings
off the hands of owners with guar

the celebration by the National Union
of the birth of Abraham Lincoln,
Henry Watterson said Sin the pre-

Mr.. Lincoln had intimated that pay

a proposal he already had in hand to

pose. | am not going to tell any tales

accepted?. 1t was the will of God that
there should be, as Gods own prophet
had promised, new birth of freedom,
and this could only be reached by the
complete obliteration and extinction
of the very idea of slavery. God struck
Lincoln down in the moment of his tri-
urnph to attain it; God blighted the
south to attain it. But he did attain
it and here we are this night to attest
