PULLMAN IS APPLAUDED.
Speaks to a Large and Enthusiastic
 Indiana Audience.

LEBANON, Ind, June 22.-Senator Tillman addressed large assem- blaze at Fairview. park. The audience was mostly made up of farmers and the applause which frequently inter rupted his remarks, evidenced the feel ing with which his statements were received.
 He opened his remarks by denounc- ing statements made about him by the Republican gold standard newspapers, as being cowardly, infamous lies. He then went into a thorough discussion of the monetary question and his strik- ing illustrations and the simplicity of his argument caught the attention of his hearers. His denunciatiOn of Hill, Sherman and Cleveland was bitter. He denied that there were more farm pro- ducts than could be consumed, but in- sisted there was no money in the hands of the poorer classes with which to purchase them. At the conclusion of his speech the free silverites gave vent to their feeling by round after round of applause.

GODEY's MAGAZINE FOR JULY.

Godey's Magazine for July begins the 133d volume of the well-known old publication and is 9 good specimen of the pioneer in it's modern form. The number opens with two timely. articles. The first of these is from the pen of a traveller in Persia, and describes with the aid of numerous pictures, some of the characteristics of that country, which is always an important factor in the eastern question, and has recently come into particular promi- hence on account of the assassination of the shah; while no less timely and interesting is description of the train ing and life in the New York fire de- partment, from which a delegation went to the international fremens tournament that began in London June 19. Then there are combinations of the "reminiscences of operatic singers by Albert W. Parkes, and the critical series of Music in America" by Ru- pert Hughes, the subject of the latter being The Manuscript Society and it's president, Gerrit Smith. That Godey'si has not lost its individuality as a lady's book is shown by the articles on ''The Silk Industry of Japan" and Elizabeth Cady Stanton" Number VII of "Talks by Successful Women, 'r and the usual Fashion Department. Half dozen contributions give va riety of fiction, the verse is plentiful, and the whole makes up a highly enter taining and readable number for sum- mar reading

LINcoLN's WIDE SYMPATHY.
Treated All People Alike in a 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 CT 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: Mr. Lincoln is the only white man with whom 1 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, all 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 child, in a dark night, on rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance and support, Lincoln clung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom"

STRANGE ANIMAL.
That Superstitious People think Pre-

MORGAN, Ky, June 22.-For the people of Hightower, hamlet near here, have been greatly excited over the appearance in the fields and forests of a peculiar looking hairless animal, of a different species of any ever seen in that. part of the country. The curious animal is described by those who saw it as about as tall as a month-old calf, as fleet on foot as fox and of a pink ish flesh color, it's body as smooth and void of hair as an infants face. It was first seen on the farm of Willis Jones, passing thence ito other farms, and con- tinually returning to the starting point Women, grouped together, are discuss ing the probability of it's being a super natural vision, appearing in advance oi some dread calamity, but men are out in possess with firearms, searching the wooded sections, with the purpose of solving the mystery.

 Why" asked the judge of a man who had been caught stealing provisions. 'did you attempt to rob this poor baker,"
 Ut was hunger that forced me to it, ; answered the man. When the forest wolf is hunted from the woods by starvation, he takes his prey where he can seize it"
