LINCOLN AND THE PEACH.--A
young lady sends to the Chicago
Tribune little anecdote of Abra.
ham Lincoln. She says that a good
many years ago when her father was
boy, her grandfather brought Abra-
ham Lincoln home one night to sup
per. He was then a poor young
man practicing law in Woodford
county, Ill.
1t was cold, stormy night, and
grandma hurried around getting sup
per. To have something nice she
opened jar Of preserved peaches.
Lincoln spent long time over his
peach, and finally left 1t on his plate.
Grandma noticed this, and, as soon
as he and grandpa had gone into an.
other room, she went to look at the
dish. Then she saw that instead OF
peach she had given the visitor the
little muslin sack which contained
the peach kernels and the spice
She fastened into the other room

tor of the Melbourne (Australia)
Spectator is Rev. Lorimer Fison, a
Methodist minister, with some unique
traits Of character. He edits the pa
per with his coat and boots off, and
a big pipe in his mouth. He says
that just before his ordination he
was sent for by the Board of Exami-
ners. "Mr. Fison," said one of the
board, "your papers are excellent,
but there is one thing we object to-"
Fison asked what it was. You are
addicted to the evil habit of smok-
ing" Fison explained thathe saw
no evil in it; but, taking a large
plug from his pocket, said: " In def.
erence to your opinion, gentlemen,
promise you this: as soon as / have
smoked this plug have In my hand,
1 will cease smoking forever" They
were satisfied, and he was ordained
the next day. But as he refills the
big pipe, he chuckles and tells you,
"Pve kept my word. I've got that

The Tendency Of Alcohol.

AT the recent Intercolonial Medi-
cal Congress at Dunedin, New Zea-
land, paper on Alcohol" was
read by DR.. Chapple, of Wellington.
The author proved the falseness of
the popular belief that alcohol in.
creased the body heat, that it added
strength and endurance to the m u.s.
cles, that it controlled hemorrhage,
that it was disinfectant and pro-
tected from infection. He summa-
rized his conclusions as follows: 81 .
Alcohol is poisonous drug, whose
special action in the body is brain
cell paralyzant, destroying those
cells in the inverse order of their de-
velopment. 2. Alcohol disturbs the
circulation leading to the loss of
body temperature, and an accumu-
lation of waste products in the blood
accompanied by great depression and
muscular weakness. 3. Alcohol
tends to produce in all, proportion
ate to the quantity taken, cirrhotic
diseases of all the tissues and organs
of the body. 4. Alcohol tends to
produce an irresistible craving for
itself. .. Alcohol predisposes to all
infections and many organic dis
eases. 3. Alcohol diminishes the
chances of recovery in those attacked
with any disease other than those re-
sulting from its use. 7. Alcohol in
creases the sick rate and shortens
life. s. Alcohol predisposes to con-
sumption and all tubernacular dis
eases. 8. Alcohol Increases lunacy
and crime. 10. Alcohol is absolutely
unnecessary to health. IL. Alcohol
promotes hemorrhage, and does not
check it, ~. Alcohol adds no mus.
cular strength to the hody-at most
1T encourages the expenditure OF its
force in the shortest possible
time. IF those were the true facts
about alcohol taken as beverage in
health, they were, as medical men,
individually and collectively, in
duty and in honor bound to make |
them known to the public over whose
health they pretended to preside. ."-l

HENRY WARD BEECHER was a
great lover of fine horse. He was
sometimes disposed to compare the
faithfulness of mans dumb servant
with his master, to the disadvantage
of the latter. A good story Is told
that once when about to take a ride
behind horse hired at livery sta
BILE, Mr.. Beecher regarded the horse
admiringly and remarked, "That is
6ne.looking animal. Is he as good
as he looks ?" The owner replied,
Mr.. Beecher, that horse will work
in any place you put him, and do
all that any horse can do" The
preacher eyed the horse still more
admiringly, and then humorously
remarked, ~ wish to goodness he
was member of our church."

LOVERS OF THE BEAUTIFUL
The fountain in City Hall Park was
in action at three O'Clock few
mornings ago, says the N. Y. Times.

The seats in the park were crowded

CONFLICTING FEELINGs.-A citi-

his gentlemanly bearing and also for
his quick temper, according to the
Rockland, (Me.,) Courier Gazette,
gave an Illustration OF both charac-

book, which, on delivery did not
quite come up to the representations.
Our friends wife had subscribed,
and when the husband saw the book

THE CAPTAINS WOUNDS.-At q
particularly intense part of the battle
of Round Mountain, a Union captain
stood beside his horse scanning the
field with his glass and directing the
troops. He says 1t seemed as if the
fire of the whole Confederacy was
centered on him, the bullets were so
thick around him. Suddenly he
heard a mimic ball singing in the air
and he felt something strike his leg.
But the occasion was urgent, and he
kept up his glass. There was another
"ping-g-g," and he felt another
strike. And so it continued. FL
nally, the battle was won. With a
long g-drawn sigh, the captain turned.
He shouted to his orderly at little
distance.
"I'm wounded, Jim. Come and
help me on my horse; / must go
home. It's my last battle"
"No ] guess not" replied the Or
derly.
What's the matter? Come, hurry
up, Pm wounded"
:" If you want me 20 help you, come
here" sang out the orderly.
"But what's the trouble? Why
can't you come here? Don't you
see I'm wounded and almost dy-
ing?"
"Oh, no, you are not" sang out
the orderly.
"Come here instantly, you rascal"
shouted the commander.
"No, 1 don't; that's the biggest
nest of yellow jackets there 1 ever
saw in my life," was the laughing
reply of the orderly.
The storming swarm of hornet
were the only minie-balls that had
struck him.

How SHE FIXED HIM.-He was a
theatrical lover, and she didn't like
his style little bit.
He was constant in his devotion,
however, and that made matters
worse.
She had tried gentle means to get
rid of him, but he had disregarded
them with painful persistency.
In this moment of her desperation
he felt it incumbent upon him to
propose to her, as men under similar
circumstance often do.
Which they wouldn't if they had
any sense at all.
"Dear one," he exclaimed hurl-
ing himself tragically at her feet, IL

you take it ?"
She did not look like murderess.

which his own precipitate folly had
placed him was revealed, and he re-
moved himself with promptness and
dispatch.
