LINCoLN'S WIDE SYMPATHY.
Treated All People Alike in 8 Courteous
 Manner.

Horace Greeley once said: I doubt whether man, woman or child, white or black, bound or free, virtuous or vii cious,, ever accosted or reached forth hand to Abraham Lincoln and detect ed in his countenance or manner any repugnance or shrinking from the prof. fered contact, any assumption of supe- riority, or betrayal of disdain.'
 Frederick Douglas, the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: MT. Lincoln is the only white man with whom I have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever been, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized my color.'
 George Bancroft, the historian, al- luding to this characteristic, which was never so conspicuously manifested as during the darker days of the war, beautifully illustrates it in these mem orable words: As a child, in a dark night, on a rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance fand support, Lincoln clung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom"

MYSTERIES OF THE LOUVRE.
Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.

Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.
 Everyone who has "done" the Louvre will remember the low-pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored the treasures of Egypt. Beneath these lie yet more darkly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the public, though approached by wide and hand- some staircase, such as would lead one to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. Yet one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed in the form of cross, and without any sign what ever of door or window.
 A recent examination, however, of the solid walls gives experts reason to believe that the masonry IS more recent than the rest of the structure in this, the oldest portion of the fortress pal ace. M. Vaugneux, a well-known critic. believes that many of the bodies of victims killed in the revolution of 1890 were immured here, and that the gov ernment was afraid to reveal the facts when the remains of their comrades were collected beneath the Colonne de Juliet.
 'On the other hand, M. Blondel, the architect of the building, and M. Nor mand, the secretary of the Society for Protecting Parisian Monuments, hold the opinion that these subterranean passages led to the oubliettes into which Catherine de Medicis cast those who were unfortunate enough to incur her hate or fear. A judicious explora. ton would clear up the matter, and settle, too, several doubtful points as to the foundations of Lescot's original citadel. Unfortunately, the annual grant does not provide for any such archaeological research, and it would be necessary to appeal for funds to the generosity of the chamber.-London l Chronicle.

ON IRRITATION.
California Advocate Says Some Perti-
 nenh Things in Respect Ito It.

The California Advocate, published at San Francisco by George H. Max we'll, is a late candidate for favor in the sparsely occupied field of irriga- tion industry journalism. Its purpose as announced editorially, is ''the up- building of the great commonwealth of California" but especially opposition to the Wright irrigaidiOn law, that leg islate measure that seems to have wrought little save trouble in the Golden state.
 Concerning the National Irrigation congress, its location and work, The Advocate kindly says:
 'In Llhe coming December, con- mencing on the fifteenth, the Fifth Ma tional Irrigation congress will be held in Phoenix, Arizona-a peculiarly ap propriate place for such a meeting, for in Arizona we are in the midst of the remains of great irrigation works con- strudded by a people who have gone and left no record or trace of their ex- i!Stence other than the ruins of their vast irrigation systems. It is for the races who are now re-opening this ancient land to restore its lost fer Utility by bringing water to the desert, and they are working energetically to that end. Arizona has great future, and her citizens are striving earnestly to bring it speedily to pass.
 sln OUT next issue we shall have much more to say with reference to some of the subjects which will be un- der consideration at this congress. Suf- fee it now to remark that if ilhe sug- gestions made by MT. Jas. H. McClin- tOck of the National executive com mittee, in his communication published in the August number of The Irriga- tion Age, could be adhered to and car ried out much good might come of the congress. As MT. McClintock we'll says: Its resolutions should be few and should be we'll digested and in them, if possible, should be embodied schemes for improvement rather than complaints against existing evils
 Some of the western states have adopted in modified form, after ex- 'tracting its worse fangs, the irrigation district Jaw which has brought so much disaster to California, but none of them have progressed far enough under their irrigation district systems Eo have had much experience with their practical workings, and it might not be amiss if the delegates assembled could be enlightened somewhat as to the real workings of this law in Cali fornia and the disasters it has brought in its train.
 ''lt is to be hoped that those who may have the direction of the proceed ings of the congress will see to it tLhat the real facts with reference to the experiences under the Wright act are . fully ventilated. Let the truth be known though the heavens fall"

SUPERVISORS.
Bids Rejected for the Graveling of
 Grand Avenue.

The board of supervisors was in reg ular weekly session yesterday.
 A petition was received asking that the board declare Jackson street and California and Arizona avenues, county roads. The petition was denied with the exception of Jackson street, which will hereafter be known as county f1horoughfare.
 In the matter of graveling Grand av- enue for the distance of two miles, the bid of R. Toohey, agreeing to do the work at $1-15 per cubic yard, was re- jected. The board finally agreed to give all persons a claim to deliver gravel for that purpose at S1.15 per cubic yard. The gravel will be meas ured on the ground by w. L. George, Jr., who was appointed by the board for that purpose.
 No further business being before the board adjournment was taken until the next regular session.

Won't Work There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles, and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

PAID ONE AT 4 TIME.
Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts of More Than Twenty-Five Cents.

Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Gents.
 There is postmaster in little town not far distant, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with a view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get one-cent stamp here for a penny, can't IF" Certainly" Said the man at the window. "Then give me a one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and We're impatiently wait- ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer Kept on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd. <.
