A New Lincoln AncedOte,
From Speech of Secretary Herbert.

From Speech of Secretary Herbert.
l heard recently an ancedote which
l don't remember to have seen in
print. 1t is attributed to Senator
Henderson. Very early in the civil
war, extremists began to urge Pres
ident Lincoln to issue a proclama-
ton to abolish slavery. Mr.. Lincoln
was slow in making up his mind
While the matter was still under
consideration the present ex Senator
Henderson went to see the president
at the White House just as Mr..
Summer was leaving. Mr.. Lincoln
said: Henderson, did you meet
Sumner out there at the door? 'Yes,
sir We'll, that man comes once a
day. There are three of them who
have entered into combination to
to compel me to issue proclamation
emancipating the slaves. They want
it done new whether l think the
time is come or not. Ben Wade
comes early in the morning, Sumner
comes at noon and Thad Stevens
comes at night. I've gotten so 1
hate the sight of them. Every time
lay eyes on one of them | think
about the boy who was put to read
ing the Bible at school and got
stupid when he came to the names
of the men who walked through the
fiery furnace. He read along glibly
enough until he came to those
names; then he halted. The teacher
scolded him, but 1t was of no use.
He trounced him and still the teach
er shouted: "Shadrach, Meshack
and Abednego, you Ounce, skip them
and 60 along" And the boy read
along very smoothly for a page and
then all at once broke out crying:
What's the matter" said the teach
er, and the boy blundered out,
Here comes them Internal three
fellows again"

Ashland, KY, March 11.-Latest
reports from Floyd county by local
travelling men who have just return

small pox, resembles cholera, except
that it chokes the victim to death,
beginning in the stomach and rising
to the throat In almost every case
it has been fatal. The victims sell

canal traffic says of the 3,35Ovess e.
passing through the canal in the
past year, not one ship flew the
United States flag. Many of the
cargoes destined for America passed
through in British ships. This is an
object lesson of the effect of the
protective tariff. During the free
trade era the merchant marine OF
country was famous the world over.
American ships sailed in every water
and "old glory" hoated to the breeze

the shipping industry in this coun
try began with the war tariff and

until it is revived by a free trade

Senator Dolph was defeated by
the Oregon legisl ature because he
was opposed to free silver. The
cause of free silver is sweeping like
tidal wave over this country. No
gold bug senator has been elected to
succeed free coinage man in the
United States senate by any legisla
ture this winter, but several free
coinage men have succeeded gold
bugs. It is now announced that the
incoming congress will be for free
silver by good majorities in both
house and senate But we can't
always count cn such men as the
republicans have elected from Mis-
souri, after they get under the thumb
of Tom Reed. He has a way of
making congressman vote as he
wishes, and not as their constituents
desire. He will run the next house,
and however much we may see to
condemn i'll the congress that has
just adjourned, there is no reason to
hope the next house will be better.

A Grand Display.

One of the greatest spectacular per- formances at the Cotton States and h. ternationalE Ex position this fall will be the reproduction in fireworks of the storm ing of Wei-hai- W ei in the recent war be- tween China and Japan. The performance will begin with the first night of the Exposition and continue every night for nearly a month. Immense scaffold- ings will be erected on the north end of the lake, on which will be stretched the painted scenery of the company.
 The position is one that may be plainly seen from almost any part of the grounds. Hundreds of real Chinese and Japanese will be in the production,
 and the sight will be extremely realistic.
 The attack of the Japs will be made from the lake in ships modelled after the Japanese war vessels. The storm ing parties will land in the face of a terrific cannonade and the City of Wei hai-wei will be taken by storm. Over a thousand dollars worth of fireworks will be burned at every performance. It is probably the grandest and most real istic scenic production of the age, and will be one of the greatest attractions In the spectacular way at the Exposition.
