The Presidents Army Of Critics and How
He Handled Them.
The president of the United States be.
Ing the servant of the people, the people
consider it their privilege to call upon
him. During the civil war they i'm
proved this privilege to the full.
Scarcely day passed, Mr.. Lamon
says, that several delegations Of citi-
zens, especially Of clergymen, did not call
to advise Mr.. Lincoln about the conduct
of affairs. Some wanted this, others
wanted that, and all Of them, as rule,
had plenty of advice and criticism. to
offer. Mr.. Lincoln was accustomed to
receive them with respectful courtesy,
but sometimes it was not easy for him
to retain his good temper.
"How many men have the Coufeder-
ates in the field?" inquired one trespass-
er upon the hardworking presidents
time and patience.
"Twelve hundred thousand, according
to the best authority"
The inquirer and his companions look
ed aghast. GOOD heavens |" they ex-
claimed.
Yes, sir, reiterated Lincoln, "there
is no doubt Of it. You see, all our gen.
erals, when they get whipped, say that
the enemy outnumbers them from three
to five to one. and must believe them.
We have 400, 600 men in the field, and
three times make 12-don't You see
it?"
Once Mr.. Lamon saw the president
really turn upon his critics, a commit
tee of western clergymen. Their spokes
man delivered a long lecture, charged
with fault finding from beginning to
end, and containing many sharp thrusts
at the administration, which thrusts the
members of the delegation had the DOOR
taste to applaud. When the TRADE was
over, Mr.. Lincoln replied, as Mr.. Lamon
says. with unusual animation
"Gentlemen," he began, "suppose
all the property you possess were in gold |
and you had placed it in the hands of |
Blondin to carry across the Niagara
river on rope. With slow, cautious.
steady step he walks the rope, bearing

Bicycle and Ostrich.

The Cape Times says that peculiar
experience befell local cyclist, Donald
Menzies, recently. He was riding along
the main road from Cape Town to Som
erset West Strand when an ostrich, at
tracted apparently by what was in its
eyes novel vehicle, commenced to waltz
around the bicycle. After few prelimi-
nary antics the bird took 1t into it's head
to pace Mr.. Menzies, and SO long as it
abstained from using it's wings the cy-
clist and the ostrich managed dead
heat. However, after covering about
half mile in this way the ostrich util--
ized its stumpy wings as sails, and
spurted away at record breaking pace,
leaving the cyclist far behind. After
that the bird troubled Mr.. Menzies no
more.

A WISH.

Death, when die, pray thee let it be
In autumn. when across the spiky furze
There floats the film of silver gossamers-
In early autumn, when the cherry tree
Is touched with flame, the beech with russet
gold,
And o'er the fallow field and purple lea
The starlings scream. while swallows put to
sea,
And woQlly mists hang light on wood and void.
Now, when no sound is heard, unless it were
The thud Of acorns on the wrinkled earth,
While thoughts Of summer linger In the air,
Sweet with the smell Of apples-now, when
mirth
Is still as grief. and peace is everywhere,
Bring me, o death, into the arms of BIRTH

CAN Pillow ON SUNDAY.

Mount Vernon, Ill, Sept. 15.-The APP
pelate court of the fourth district has
decided that blowing corn on Sunday
in sight of church goers does not in it
self constitute a disturbance of the
peace. In constituting section 261,
which relates to disturbing the peace
by labor on Sunday, under which Mr..
Foil, a seventh day adventist, was ar
rested,-th court holds that this section
does not prohibit work or amusement
on Sunday, but prohibits only such
conduct as disturbs the peace and good
order of society. The defendant be-
ing a seventh day adventist, observed
Saturday as the Sabbath, and plowed
on Sunday, and was arrested and con-
viction resulted. The case was ap-
pealed to the Appellate court, with the
above result.

in the field during Gen. Kennedy's life,
and Norman Kennedy, being house
boy, got intimately acquainted with the
hero of Uncle Toms Cabin"
Young Tom Kennedy did not long sur
vive his, father, and Clark was again
about to be put up at auction with the
other negroes when he determined to
gain his liberty, whatever the cost, in
forming Norman that he could soon
bleach himself from the mulatto that he
was to fairly white man. lie began
to wear gloves and big hat 70 work
in order to avoid sunburn, and in few
months he escaped by stealing mule.
He went north. -.
His wife Maggie (the Eliza of the
noveD was left behind, but soon ran off
to Louisville. Mrs. Stoves descrip-
ton of "Eliza's" .(or Maggic) escape
across the drifting ice of the Ohio river
from Kentucky to Ohio and freedom is
very dramatic, but old Uncle Norman
Kennedy says Maggie really secreted
herself in the Falls City until Clarks
return from Ohio, when she joined him
and the two went peacefully and unpur-
sued up the Ohio river on a steamboat
to Cincinnati. Eliza was an octoroon
won by Gen. Kennedy on horse race
in Indian territory.
Clark found work in Cincinnati and
remained there until he went north and
later to Cambridge, Mass, where he was
given employment by Mrs. A. ii. SAT
ford, daughter of Lyman Beecher, ia
Their of Mrs. Stowe. Although Mrs
Stowe (then Miss Beecher) was teach
ing at Lane seminary, in Cincinnati
while Clark was in the city, she never
met or heard of him there, as is the pop
ular belief. 1t was at Mrs. Stafford:
home in Cambridge that Mrs. Stowe frs
saw George Lewis Clark. She became
interested in his narrative of his expe
riences, and from him got the story o.
the characters in "Uncle Toms Cabin.
Old Norman denies the allegation
that Gen. Kennedy was cruel to hi
slaves. The Little Eva" of the bool
still lives. She is now a grandmothe'
and her son-in-law is one of the leading
| democrats of Kentucky.

LEWIS GEORGE CLARK.
The Prototype of Character in
Uncle Toms Cabin"
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe Befriended
Him. and In Return Secured Several
Important Facts for Her
Great Book.

Harriet Beecher Stoves "Uncle
Toms Cabin" opens with the sentence:
SIN the quiet little town of P
"P-" means Paint Lick, in Garrard
county, Ky. "Uncle Toms Cabin" first
appeared As years ago as a serial in the
National Era of Washington. Mrs.
Stowe saw fit then to call Paint Lick a
"quiet little town." 1t is so to-day, and
only the slightest changes have been
made in it since the story was writ
ten.
Lewis George Clark, the prototype of
George Harris" the most prominent
figure in the novel, was owned by Gen.
Thomas Kennedy, Garrard county's
first representative in the general as
semtly of Kentucky. He first belonged
to John Banton, who was party to
the famous Banton counterfeting
plot.
Banton's detection led to the sale Of
young Clark to Gen. Kennedy, then the
wealthiest man in the Blue Grass sec
ton of Kentucky, and large dealer in
race horses and slaves. When Gen. Ken
nedy died he bequeathed 100 slaves to his
son, Thomas Kennedy, Jr. Among
them was Clark. A house boy, Norman
Kennedy, was given to Robert Argo,
and he still lives to tell of George Har-
ris," "Uncle Tom." and other charac-
tiers in "Uncle Toms Cabin"
A New York World correspondent
visited the old Kentucky homestead,
yet a comfortable residence, and found
old Norman working in the garden at
the Argo place, which he has never left,
though freed more than a score and a
half of years ago.
Norman is a midget. He is 95 years
old, only three feet and nine inches tall,
and weighs less than 60 pounds.
When Gen. Kennedy had stable of
running horses Norman was brought to
ride for him, but his legs were so short
he couldn't stay in the saddle, and fell
off in more than one race. The old man
remembers Clark well, for he had slept
and worked with him. When young,
Clark was a weaver, lSnitter and sewer,
and cooked well. Because of these ac-
complishments he was not sent to work

Delbridge's body has been found
floating at Lakewood. He was dress
ed in bathing suit and it is presumed
that he jumped from the boat in which
he was last seen alive to take a swim,
was seized with cramps and drowned.
He was carrying $4,000 of life insur-
ance which the companies will pay.
1t had been suggested that he rowed
acrossl the lake changed his clothing
and left the country, but the recovery
of the body disproves that.
