that 1t is possible to make a, plausible

"Reaily?" l said.
Yes; It rests on a study OF cellular
organisms, the point being that each
elementary cell which has ever entered
into a certain combination, say TO rep
resent you or me or any other individ-
ual, has the constituencies of that fact,
as seems to be shown, and preserves
the tendency to group itself or reunfte
itself in any future time with the other
cells, wiFich have been associated with
it previously. So 1t all comes down to
the question of probability. There is a
certain formula fer each individual, one
for You. one for me, one for everybody
else. If the atoms that compose that
formula, dissiDate at your death or
mine, ever again in infinite time find
themselves together or near one an
other, then they would rush tigether as
before and according to the unvarying
law of cause and effect, the same result
will follow the reunion as followed 1T
before and you or 1 must live again.
And SO in an infintty of ages we might
live again many times. That is just

interesting subject for speculation,

LINcoLNs DEFENSE.

After the change of venue to Boards
town, Lincoln told my mother he would
defend me. AT the trial l had about
twenty-five witnesses. The strongest
witness against me was Charles Allen.
He was the witness that swore about
the moon; he swore it was a full moon
and almost overhead. Uncle Abe
asked him over and over about it, but
ne stuck to ii Then he said he saw me
strike Metzker with slung-shot. I'm
Gle Abe asked him to tell how it was
done. He got up and went through the
motion; struck an overland blow, just
as he declared he saw me do by the
light of the full moon. Uncle Abe had
him do it over again. After Aliens tes-
timony everybody thought | would be
convicted. After Uncle Abe had talked
to the jury little while, he said: Now,
/ will show you that this man Aliens
testimony is a pack of lies; that he
never saw Armstrong strike Metzker
with a slung-shot; that he did not wit
ness this fight by the light of the full
moon, for the moon was not in the
heavens that night And then Uncle
Abe pulled out the almanac and
showed the jury the truth about the
moon; / do not remember exactly what
it was-whether the moon had not
risen, or whether it had set; but what
ever it was, it upset Allen's story COM
pletely. He passed the almanac to the
jurors and they all Inspected it. Then

showed that had acted in sef-defense

and had used no weapon of any kind
But it seemed to me Uncle Abe did
his best talking when he told the jury
what true friends my father and
mother had been to him in the early
days, when he was a poor young man
at New Salem. He told how he used
to go out to Jack, Armstrong; and
stay for days how kind my mother
was to him, and how, many time, ne
had rocked me to sleep in the old
cradle. He said he was not there plead
ing for me because he was paid for 1t;

LINCOLN'S ELOQUENCE.

The most sensational criminal case
in which Abraham Lincoln was ever
engaged was that in which he derended
Duff Armstrong. the son of the friends
of his early years in Illinois, against
the charge of murder. For years this
case has figured with more or less de-
tail in all Biographies of Lincoln, and
IT has been made the most prominent
episode in at least one novel OF west
ern life, Edward Eggfeston's The
Graysons.'

AFTER THE TRIAL.

Nov, my mother was not IN the
court room when the jury came in;
and it is all stuff about her fainting
and falling into my arms. She was
away somewhere; / don't know just
where. That night she went home
with Jim Dick, the sheriff; I went
home with Dick Overton, and as we
went down the court house steps he
slipped a s. bill into my hand. Uncle
Abe would not charge my mother a
cent; he said her happiness: over my
freedom was his sufficient reward.
The almanac used by Lincoln was
one which my cousin, Jake Jones, fur
nisned him On the morning of the
trial, l was taken outside the court
room to talk to Lincoln. Jake Jones
was with us. Lincoln said he wanted
an almanac for 1851. Jake went right
off and got one, and brought it to
Uncle Abe 1t was an almanac for the
proper year, and there was no fraud
about it. The truth is there. was no
moon that night; If there was, it was
hidden by clouds. But it was light
enough for everybody to see the fight.
The fight took place in front of one of
the bars and each bar had two or
three candles on it. I had no slung-
shot; never carried weapon of any
kind-never in my life. Metzker had a
loaded whip, but he did not attempt
to use it on me. 1t was only fist
fight, and if 1 killed Pres Metzker 1
killed him with my naked fist.
The night after the trial, Lincoln
made a speech in Beardstown. The
next morning, he got the judge and
the lawyers and all the big men togeth-
er, and then called me and my mother,
