Able Dissertation in Stage Coach Which

Able Dissertation In a Stage Coach Which
MI. Lincoln Remembered.
Il see that Col. Thomas Nelson, of
Terre Haute, is dead" recently re-
marked ~. NJ. Murphy to Clobe-Dem-
ocrat reporter. Nelson belonged to
that class of individuals to whom the
growing generation invariably refer as
gentlemen of the old school,
Col. Nelson possessed a rich fund
of humor and he enjoyed telling a story
just as well if the joke were on him as
when the other fellow caught it.
AT an old settlers meeting in Terre
Haute in 1885 Col. Nelson related a
story about his first meeting with
Abraham Lincoln. 1t was i'll the an
tebellum days of stage coaches. One
morning the stage arrived at Terre
Haute from Paris, H., and stopped at
the Clark house, the principal hotel in
the city i'll those days, and among the
passengers was long. lanky individ-
ual, who, after partalling of breakfast,
resumed his journey to Indianapolis.
Col. Nelson was one of the passengers
and on the way endeavored to scrape an
acquaintance with the lanky-loolIing
passenger. The latter told several fun
ny stories in the course of their rather
tedious journey. Nevertheless the
colonel took his fellow-passenger for
some green country merchant On his
way to indianapolis to replenish his
stock of groceries, hardware, etc. The
colonel also talked very learnedly and
soon the stranger was gazing upon him
in a manner that evidently betokened
admiration of the great wisdom of his
travelling companion.
Arriving at their destination the
colonel put up at the principal hotel,
and after making an elaborate toilet
made his way to the hotel Office. There
he observed his fellow-passenger, the
central figure of group of gentlemen,
most of whom were well known to the
colonel. Stepping up to the clerk ne
inquired as to the identity of the tall
individual, and his eye was guided by
the finger of the clerk to the open regis
ter, where he read: y. Lincoln, written
in bold hand. A coating of moisture
oozed through the pores of the colonel's
countenance; he was thunderstruck,
dumfounded, and hastily calling for his
'carpetsack' sought quarters elsewhere.
I'm 1861 the friends of Col. Nelson
succeeded in securing an appointment
for him, and Gov. Morton, who was in
Washington, telegraphed the colonel
to come on, and when he arrived at the
capital he was told that he would prob
ably be appointed minister to Chill.
When he made his call upon the pres
dent it was with the hope that Mr.. Lin
coin would not recognize in him the
stage-coach passenger who had aired
his erudition during the journey of
few years before.
Mr.. Lincoln greeted him cordially,
and after notifying him of his appoint
ment and expressing the hope that he
would accept, looked at the colonel
with a merry twinkle in his eye and
said: Col. Nelson, do you know have
often thought of your talk on CEN
trifugal force during the stage-coach
ride? Now, colonel, am going to toss
you away off to Chilli" - St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

Many centuries before recorded his
tory begins the old Egyptians had de-
veloped a religion, an architecture and
mode of life of which inperishable
traces are found to-day. Before
Herodotus wrote or Homer sung, be-
fore the sacred songs of Hindostan were
dreamed of. before the first books of
the Bible were put into writing, the
Egyptian hieroglyphics recorded on
the walls of their temples and tombs
or on the scrolls of their papyri the mys-
teries of their religion. the doings of
their kings or the stories of their
chief reciters. Maspero, the great
French Psychologist, first gave these
stories to the modern world, but to the
skill and scholarship of Flinders Petrie
the world owes the first useful and en-
tertaining form in which the earliest
romances of the childhood of the world
appear in English. There are many of
these stories. In them appear the
prototypes of characters in fiction that
have been used by writer's in all ages
and all languages. In one story told
by King Khufu's reciter at command
of that monarch. VINO even in his early
days was aweary of the hollow splendor
and tedious ceremonials of his court,
appears the original of ''Sinbad." IN. Y.

CATS AS SOUVENIRS.
Line of FelInes That Traces Its Ancestry
to Independence Hall.


AS a historical souvenir the cat is a
decided novelty, which comes from the
sacred shadow of Independence hall,
says the Philadelphia Resord Some time
ago people whose business took them
through the historic old hall and the
surrounding square frequently saw
colony of common looking cats lOafrg
about in that vicinity. All these ami
mails could trace their ancestors back
to couple of good ratters which had
been introduced into the cellars of the
old hall to depopulate the rodents which
thrived and fattened there. The cats
cleaned out the one nuisance, and be-
came nuisances in turn. They were
cared for and fed by a colored man
named Charley, employed in the sheriff's
Office. When the animals increased
SO rapidly as to threaten to overrun the
place Charley conceived a brilliant idea.
He decided to turn the cats into money.
He found people were willing to pay as
high as one dollar for cat born and
reared in Independence hall. He soon
disposed of all but one or two of the cats.
These few survivors were left in the hall
when the sheirff's Office moved up to
the city hall and took Charley with it

Edith calmly, putting her hand over the

its center the black electric button.

For a moment the two girls stood
there, the one flushed and excited. the
other apparently calm. with her back
against the door and her hand over the
electric button. A glance through the
window showed Miss Brewster that the
mate had got into the boat. and that
they were steadily lowering away.
Let me pass. you-yOu wretch"
"All in good time" replied Edith
Longworth, whose gaze was also upon
the boat swinging in midair. Jenny
Brewster saw at once that if it came
to handto-hand encounter she would
have no chance whatever against the
English girl, who was in every way her
physical superior. She had her en-
velope in one hand and the gold in the
other. She thrust both of them into
her pocket, which. after some fumbling,
she found. Then she raised her voice
in one of the most appalling screams
Edith Longworth had ever heard. AS
if in answer to thatear-piercings scream,
there arose from the steamer n loud
and ringing cheer. Both glanced up
to see where the boat was. but it was
not in sight. Several ropes were dang
ling down past the portfolios. Miss
Brewster sprang up on the sofa. and
with her small hands turned round
the screw which held the headlight
closed.
Edith Longworth looked at her with
out making any attempt to prevent the
unfastening of the window.
Jennie Brewster flung open the heavy
brass circle which held the thick green
glass. and again she screamed at the top
of her voice. crying "Help!" and 'Mur-
der!"
The other did rot move from her po-
sition. In the silence that followed
the steady splash of oars could be
heard. and again a rousing cheer rang
out from those who were left upon the
steamer. Edith Lonoworth
raised herself on tiptoe and looked ont
of the open window. On the crest of
a wave, 500 yards away from the vessel,
she saw the boat for moment appear.

dripping oars; then it vanished down
