pnes, and many of his specimens will
be stuffed and perhaps mounted on the
spot. He is to start about March and
may be gone a year or two. The project,
which will be quite expensive so carry
out and hazardous one as well, is to be
undertaken because of the great difficulty
which the directors of the museum have
found in making complete collection
of the rare and almost extinct animals
Of the dark continent.
Professor Elliot is to be accompanied
only by Mr.. C. f. Akely. the taxiderm-
list OF the museum. He is to have ample
means at his command, and the expedi
tion will be one of the most important
that have ever been undertaken in the in
terests of zoology.
Professor Elliot is no novice at hunt
ing, having shot all kinds of game in
nearly all parts of the earth. This time
he proposes to bag some big specimens

potamus in his native swamp and lay
low the mighty elephant in the forest.

lions, leopards and other strange ami
mails which are familiar only to the
men who draw the circus posters. Ac-
cording to the present plans, the pro-
fessor and Mr., Akely will leave civil
cation on the east coast about June !,
establishing permanent headquarters
at Fort Salisbury, British outpost, and
penetrate into the wilds of Mashona-
land. They are to travel by means of
OK carts and will be accompanied by
big retinue of natives.
Professor Elliot is one of the most
prominent biologists in the country. He
is a native of New York city and is
about 90 years of age. He has written
many books on his favorite science and
is a member of the Royal society of Ed
inhurgh and of various geological socie-
ties in Europe. Several foreign associa-
tions and governments have bestowed
upon him decorations and medals in
recognition Of his scholarly achieve
ments.

FAMOUS POLITICAL PHRASE.
Used In Different Forms by lincoln, The
odore Parker and Webster.

Used In Different Forms by Lincoln The
odore Parker and Webster.
In letter headed mot Lincoln's
Own Words" a correspondent points
out that the words government Of the
people, by the people, for the people,
in the famous Gettysburg address were
not original with Lincoln. He attempts
TO further show that they were original
with Henry Wilson, and were quoted by
Iincoln from a letter written in 1860
by Wilson to certain persons in Boston.
In a speech delivered at the New
England antislayery convention, Boston,
May 80, 1850, by Theodore Parker, may
be found the expression ga government
Of all the people, by all the people, for
all the people," the exact language,
with the exception Of one word, of that
ascribed to Wilson and employed by
Lincoln. But still further back had the
same idea been expressed in substantial
" the same way by Daniel Webster in
one Of his most splendid oratorical eff
forts, whose every phrase was familiar
TO all patriotic Americans long before
Parker uttered his speech or Wilson
wrote his letter. In his second speech
on Foot's resolution, Jan. 26, 1880,
Webster used these words, THE peoples
government, made for the people, made
by the people and answerable to the
people.
The phrase discussed belongs no more
to Wilson than to Lincoln. The words
can no more be said to have been
quoted" by Lincoln from Wilson than
from Parker OF Webster. Lincoln was
familiar with the writings and speeches
Of Parker. lie had probably never seen
this particular letter of Wilson's That
his language should beaexactly the same
as that of the latter was coincidence,
but probably nothing more The phrase
was merely the expression, in the sim
plest, most direct language, of the glo-
rious yet popular and familiar idea Of
the constitution and object of cur form
of government. The expression cannot
be ascribed to any one man. Lincoln
does not give the statement as positive
declaration-as a new coined phrase in
tended to add to his laurels as public
speaker, but uses the words as descrip-
tive Of our government in uttering the
resolve that it "shall not perish from
the earth. T"
That some words of the speech had
been said before does not detract from
the beauty or grandeur of Lincoln's adj
dress as whole. His speech, which has
been declared to be the greatest in the
records of oratory of our own or any
other country, was so not because it was
the labored and polished effort of
practiced orator, but because Of the
greatness Of the man, as man, who
uttered it. - Washington Star.

Denny have been overwhelmed with de-

where one month ago all the talk was
Bryan and silver, decided change of
sentiment is reported. People are COM

OF at least two languages. The German language
ha> many advantages over modern languages on
account of her profound literature in all branch
ee Of ancient and modern science produced in
her world renowned universities. Those who
would drink from these ineXhaustible ana yet
unadulteI ated fountains of knowledge, must
master the language which contains the key to
German, and will begin with actual work on the
first day of September. The class will meet two
or three times week i'll the evening or when
most convenient to the upils. Rapid progress,
guaranteed to those who will get down TO earn

work will please announce their Intention to
the undersigned at early date as the class

Will be very reasonable.

The undersigned will also organize class in
Latin. There are so many reasons why those
who desire to advance their knowledge beyond q

life possessed by those who have mastered it. l
