A Howling Success.
From the Echo ENTERPRISE

julius Caesar Schmahl of the Butter Milk
Mine fame, has a fat-footed retraction in
last weeks issue of THE GAZETTE, relative
to the Byram libel suit That was not a bad
way to get out of it, when you think about
it. The original article was widely read and
increased his fame, and from week to week
it has furnished several news items. Now,
many of his readers find cause for reflection
and merriment in his retraction. AS news,
the affair was bowling success, and as that
is the chief delight of the GAZETTE editors
life, we imagine he is immensely pleased
and sEpremely happy.

ONE OF LINCOLNS STORIES.
Fate of the nan Who Tried to Adver-
tise Gunpowder.

The following anecdote by Lincoln is
recounted by General Horace Porter in
his Campaigning With Grant" in the
Century" 1t was told during Lin
coins visit to the front at City Point:
In the course of the conversation that
evening he spoke of the Improvement
in arms and ammunition, and of the
new powder prepared for the fifteen
inch guns. He said he had never seen
the latter article, but he understood it
differed very much from any other
powder that had ever been used. I told
him that I happened to have in my tent
a specimen which had been sent to
headquarters as a curiosity and that
l would bring it to him. When I re-
turned with a grain of the powder
about the size of a, walnut, he took it,
turned it over in his hand, and after
examining it carefully, said: ''Wall, it's
rather larger than the powder we used
to buy in my shooting days. 1t re-
minds me of what occurred once in a
country Westinghouse in Sansamon
County. You see, there were very Few
newspapers then, and the country
storekeepers had to resort to some other
means of advertising their wares. If
for instance, the preacher happened to
be late in coming to a prayer-meeting
of an evening, the shopkeepers would
often put in the time while the people
were waiting by notifying them Of any
new arrival of an attractive line of
goods.
"One evening man rose up and said:
Brethren, let me take occasion TO say
while were a-waitin, that I have jest
received new invice of sporting pow
der. The grains are so small you kin
sea- cely see 'em with the naked eye
and polished UP so fine you kin stand
up and comb your ha'r in front of one
O. them grains jest like it was a. io0kin'-
glass. Hope you'll come down to my
store at the crossroads and examine
that powder for yourselves
When we had got about this far
rival powder merchant in the meeting,
who had been boiling over with indig-
nation at the amount of advertising the
opposition powder was getting, jumped
up and cried out: Brethren I hope
you'll not believe a single word Brother
Jones has been sayin about that pow
der. I've been down thar and seen it
for myself and l pledge you my word
that the grains is bigger than the
Jumps in a coal-pile; and any one of
you, brethren, eff you was in your flu
ture state, could put a bari o that
powder on your shoulder and march
squar' through the sulphurious flames
surroundin' you without the least dam
ger of an explosion"

great opportunity If they are well

petual opportunity of taking offense at
each others words and actions. which

Guilty of their relations with each other.
The progress of the English-speaking
races OS the most marvellous phenOme-
| non of our time 1t means a great ma
Chinery for the manufacture of the
public opinion that is to guide the
world. AS in all times, there have been
two forces that have contested with
each other the power of governing the
society of men-the official, organized
government and the public opinion, by
which, more or less, that organized
government has always been controlled
and influenced. But in our time the
organized government is distinctly los
ing force and the public opinion is dis
tinctly gaining in every power; and as
| that process goes on, more and more
important does it become that that
public opinion should be rightly guided
Those whose voices are heard by the
EngliSh-speaking nations have a ire
mendous power and bear a terrible re-
sponsibility. 1t is with them that the
real shaping of the future destinies of
the world lies; and if I look back with
admiration to the official life in this
country of the distinguished Embassa-
dor who sits here tonight, it is not
mainly-though it must be greatly-for
his official distinction and for the work
he has done in his office; but in this
country he has thrown himself with
great zeal and power and interchangeable
effort into the duty of presenting Amer
lean and English opinion to each other
and molding them in common and a
blessed form. In that he appears to me
to have deserved highly, not only of
this country and of his own, but of
English-Speaking races all over the
world, and not only that but of the
EnSlish-speaking races of the world
that is to be. If there are no men to
take up the torch that he hands down.
if no effort is made to present the pub
lie opinion of the two nations to each
other, to enable them to understand
each other, and overcome temporary
causes of offense, it may we'll be that
all the power that is given to them will
be given to them only for their own de-
struction and the calamity of the world,
and all that force will be utilized in
injuring each other; but it. on the other
hand, the high standards which he
has held forth, the noble sentiments
which he has impressed, the unwarying
zeal for the public good which he has
uniformly displayed-if they can i'm
press themselves on the public opinion
of our time, then the growth of the En-
glish-speaking races and the vast in
f1uence which they exercise may we'll
be a more powerful machinery than has
existed yet for bringing to US the reign
of justice and of peace

LOINING'S LECTURE.
An Excellent Exhibition Given by the
ImperSOnatOr.

The second number in the series of
three entertainments given for the ben
eft of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION was given at the Congrega-
tional Church last evening. 1t consist
ed of recitals and representations by
J. Arthur Loining, which delighted
the audience beyond their expectations.
The church was comfortably filed, al
though the audience was not SO large as
it should have been in view Of the ex-
cellent character of the literary treat
presented.
Mr.. Loining first read three familiar
scenes from Hamlet" and wildly por-
trayed the feelings and emotions of
that peculiar creation Of the immortal
William. "Courtship Under Difficult
ties was next rendered and proved in
tensely interesting to those now going
through the soft and silly period of life

votes for the party of which Chaun-
cey II. Dunn is the leading exponent in
this section.

''Travesty Upon the Yankee Way of

of this State, was rendered happily, and
was followed by another travesty upon
the Scotch way of saying yes" ''The
Irishman and the Jew and 1.-THE
Frenchmar's Description of the Play
of Macbeth" came next, the pieces be-
ing short and funny in the extreme.
In Holmes poem, How the Old Horse
Won the Bet" the actor had plenty of
scope in which to exhibit his elocu-
tionary powers. The rendition of this
piece was different in many respects
from that usually given, but was en-
tirely satisfactory. After Mr. Looming
related the incidents of night of trou-
bic experienced by Josiah Aliens wife.
the people went home to dream of tom
cats and midnight serenades.

The English-Speaking Race.

The following is an extract from the
address which Lord Salisbury delivered
at the recent dinner in London to Mr..
Bayard:
While wars and rumors of wars are
going on, while the waves are troubled
up above, there is a silent process of
creation going on which some day or
other will show itself in great con-
tinents and mountains. While we are
discussing and diplomatizing, by the
steady operation of natural causes and
the superiority of the English speaking
races, that language is becoming DOM
inant in the world.
1t is spreading, not only in the
United States of America and in Eng
land, but over vast territories in Asia,
Africa and Australia: and think-think
well-what 1t means, that all those dis
tant races of the world should speak
each others language.
1t is a great stumbling block and a
