The American Fur Dealers ana the Alaska
Seal Question.

Seal Question.
To THE EprroR OF THE SUS-Sir: Apropos of the
cable despatch in this mornings SUI, the fur trade
should give their most earnest thanks for the interest
taken by you in this vexed question. Il IL very
strange that our Government can expect England to
acQuiesce in the demands made by US, for the reason
that the paramount idea of Great Britain 10 TO protect
the commercial interests Of her subjects.
The contention Of John Quincy Adams during his
Administration was that the rights of our citizens
should be maintained. and Monroe first raised this
idea, and It was carried out later by President
Adams. the cause being that OF the Russian islanda,
now owned by US, and concerning which 30 much
controversy has occurred.
In 1855 nearly all the periodicals and papers, com.
menting on the Alaska seizures OF that time, iashedi
Themselves into q frenzy upon the question Of the
Jurisdiction Of the United States. but were arm IN
maintaining that the rights Of our citizens In every
manner should be protected.
To-day II seems that the interests of Others than
the citizens Of the United States engaged in the fur
citizen. I expect q full and free projection In the pur.
suit OF my business. This. according TO the present
ideas prevailing in the State Department. 10 ignored,
/ ask that through the columns OF your journal you
will kindly give the fur trade Q chance to be heard.
Eneland's position 10 already explained, and her ideas
OF protecting her subjects are published to the world
when she deliberately says, "Great Britain demands
Q stronger case on the part OF the United States, a.
Canada would not abandon such . valuable industry"
By. valuable industry she means the illegal sealing.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHPLACE.
A Rude Log Cabin in the WiIds of
Kentucky.

Abraham Lincoln, our great war presi-
dent, was born in Larue county, Ken
lucky, in rude little log cabin. This
cabin has recently been restored, and,
so far as possible, made exactly as it
was IS years ago, when q little baby
boy was born to Thomas and Nancy
Lincoln, or "Linkhorn," as the name
was then spelled-humble settlers, -
who had moved to the neighborhood
from Washington county four years be
fore.
The few living people who remembe:
Thomas Lincoln, the father, say that hc
was a rather improvident man, no
working long at any one thing. He wa
a hard worker, but was poor manager
and the little family was often without
more than the simplest accessories of
life. Thomas Lincoln cleared few
acres around his cabin, and raised n
small crop of corn and grain. Then he
became n carpenter and tinker, worl =
ing at such odd jobs rs he could FIND
among the pioneer ncighbors. He wac
away at work at the time Abraham wa
born.
The neighbors heard that Mrs. Lin
coin was in the cabin all alone with the
little baby, and had little to eat except
corn and potatoes. They at once Nis-
.tel the Lincoln cabin, taking such deli
cacics rs their houses afforded. The ia
ther returned in a few days; and the
baby was named Abraham Liucolr
after his grandfather, who had beer
killed by the Indians when Thomas Lin
coin was little boy.-George II. Yeno-
wine, in St. Nicholas.

prominent counter devoted to what are

curious observer will discern that the
goods thus displayed are withdrawn
within O. very short time, as though
there had been n tentative feeling of the
public pulse and the temperature was
not what it might be. This season, so
far, the piece d'honneur has been given
TO smooth, light cloths, such as were
the fashion in Paris last summer, and
most exquisite are the shades in cash
mere, drap d'ete, etc, while tine-cord
light weight blue serge is shown, to be
made up most deliberately and with eX-
pensive ribbons. By the way, let no
woman delude herself into the belief
il will cost little to dress well this year.
Materials may seem extraordinarily
cheap, but there is every Indication that
much trimming is TO be used on waists
and skirts alike, and yards and yards
will be necessary to make the velvet
bands or the tiny ruffles that look so
smart and fresh.
GRAY in all the different shades is to
be greatly the rage, and the favorite
trimming, particularly on the cash
meres, will be the graduated trimming
rows OF black velvetribbon sewed on only
at one edge, which gives more rufilc
look The putting on of these bands is
difficult task, and it must be remem-
bered, that it is a fashion much more
becoming to slender than it is to stout
women
On serges silk braid will be put on in
the same way as the velvet ribbon, and
ground the waist and sleeves as well
as the skirt. Three rows of either
velvet or braid are sometimes put
around the front and side breadths,
and then turned and so arranged rs to
90 up the back of the skirt TO the waist.
1t is claimed that this is more 6ecom-
ing, and gives more graceful lines, but

3Arust Conquer fl They Want Shelter.

The German soldiers says the London News, carries his own house on his back that is to say, his share of shelter tent. The stout pieces of waterproof sheeting are joined together so as to form three sides of & square, and the men are saved from the worst in wind and rain. The idea of the shelter tent in sections is no new one. The French had 1t many years ago in their tente d'abri. It has many advantages. It re- duces the baggage of the army, and 1t enables the soldier to go into lodgings at once on reaching the scene of the bivouac.
 Troops often suffer miserable discom- fort in waiting for hours for their heavy tents. The Germans have no faith in these cumbrous contrivances. They have often sent whole armies into the field without any sort of shelter. Their the- ory is that if the men win battle they will find all they want in the towns and villages, and that If they lose 1t they will have no time 10 pitch tents. The shelter tent seems Q compromise be- tween these views.
