FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
swsde Spent Two Years h vindicating
 His BrotherH Honesty.

sWsde Spent TWO aeafs ih fihutehtih<
 His Brothers Honesty.
 .sI practioed law once ill Silverton, Colo, ' said one of the passengers i'll tho smoking room of the Pullman, and had case that struck me as model exhibition of faithfulness. A Swede was mail carrier over the pass to the other side of the range. It was not long trip, but 1t was ] severe one, made on foot and with the danger i'll winter from heavy SHOWS added to it's d1ffi- culty. Andrew carried the mail for a year, then one day he failed to reach home. There wers valuable letters ln his sack, and the inference that he had decamped was strong. On the night he should have come into Silyerton his brother. fresh from Scandinavia and unable to speak English, got off the stage As county attorney 1 had to break the news to the hoy and stood by while he wept.
 Rewards were offered for Andrew, and 1 sent out parties to search the pass, but to no effect. A miner claimed to have seen him q week later in Leadyille. but we got no more trace Of him. The brother refused to believe that Andrew had done wrong and spent his days tramping the canyons searching for his brother's body. We tried to get him 10 go to work, but he did not yield until by his shortness Of funds he was starved to it. In tho summer. when most of the snow was off. he searched again. but in vain. During the winter he worked, but when the second spring came lie re- newed his lonely trampings up the trail. We thought him demented, but he cared not for our opinions. One day in August he walked along at the base of Il cliff and saw q boot sticking out from some debris. He uncovered it, and his search was ended. That evening he came into town with the mail sack, much stained but intact, and his brothers coat. The grave he dug, with the rough stone he afterward put at its head, is up the canyon yet. It took two years to yindi- cate his brothers name, but he did not begrudge it. When it was done, he went back to his native land. "--C Chicago Times Herald.

 The Chicago Inter Ocean becomes both sarcastic aud indignant when any one questions the purity of its diction. So when reader named Campbell ven tured to criticise expressions used by its society editor the captious one found that he had caught Tartar. This is the way The Inter Ocean pnts it:
 Inclosed with the following letter, received few days ago, were two clip pings from the society columns of The Inter Ocean:
 Here are three barbarisns that caught my eye in this mornings issue of your paper There is no such word as stgowned '-it is nearly a Coelney valgarism that had it's origin in London, Engiand-"S Swellesto Is Of the same sort-and same origin-No American having any regard for purity of language can use such slang-As all these words appear in so called s'society items take it your Society editor is male or female dude and needs q lesson in language-The harm done by the use of such words in your paper is very great as thousands of children read 1t and absorb its words-Do stop this Cockney yulgarity-

 There is no doubt you mean well, Jim, but term i'll night school would be beneficial even to you before you be- gin to give lessons in English. To begin with. you would be taught there that our grandfather, Lindley Murray, al- ways told us to use periods. You ought to have known Lindley, Jim He was q distinguished graminarian, you know, or perhaps you don t know.
 And then, Jim, there was Tennyson. He said of heroine in one of his poems that she was "gowned in pure white. ' So you see Lord Tennyson found the word "gowned to be useful long be- fore you learned to walk steady on your hind feet or to eat with your front hoofs Webster says .'gowned'' means dressed in gown; clad.
 You say that these harbarians caught your eye, and you fail to mention which eye they caught. How is the other eye?

AN ANEcDoTE OF LINCOLN.
He Measured Neigh. With Miner In a
 Pennsylvania Town.

Pennsylvania Town.
 In the course of all article in St Nicholas Mary Lillian Herr relates the following characteristic aneedote of Lincoln:
 Once while on his way to Washing ton as president the train stopped lit tie time in the town of Alleghany, Pa. Around the station great crowd gath cred, eager to see the new president. They shouted and cheered until Lincoln had to appear on the rear platform of his car. He bowed and smiled, but the crowd was so noisy he did not try to speak to them.
 Very near to the platform stood s miner, wearing red shirt and blue oyeralls and carrying a dinner pail. Like the rest, he had stopped hoping to see Mir. Lincoln. The workman was al- most a giant i'll size and lowered head and shoulders above the crowd
 No doubt lie had heard that Lincoln also was very tall, and, encouraged by the friendly face, the workman sudden Iy waved his bare arm above his head and called out:
 Hi, there. Abe Lineolnl I'm taller than you--yes, Il sight tallerl'
 This loud speech silenced the crowd by it's boldness, and laugh arose. But MT. Lincoln. leal ing forward with | good humored smile, said quietly:
 My man, doubt it--in fact, I'm sure nm the taller. However, come up and let's measure. .
 The crowd made way and the workman climbed to the platform and stood back 10 back with the president elect. Each put up hand to see whose head over topped. Evidently Mir Lincoln was the victor. for with smile of satisfaction he turned and offered his hand to his beaten rival, saying cordially:
 thought you were mistaken and I was right. but 1 wished to be sure and to have you satisfied However, we arc friends anyway, aren we?n
 Grasping the outstretched hand in a vigorous grip the workman replied:
 Yes Ate Lincoln - as long as l live.

His Gentle Reproof h Reply to General
 Hunters Ugly Letter.
 Another remarkable evidence of the great kindliness of heart of Abraham Lincoln has been brought to light in the form of long lost letter which the martyred president wrote to General Daniel Hunter i'll 1884,
 General Hunter WAS in command of the department of Kansas at the time this particular letter was written. It seems he considered himself dishonored by all appointment to the rather ob- seure military post, and he wrote to the president protesting against it. Lin- colns characteristic reply was as fol- lows.

Fin de Steele ChIvnlrx.

The Boston Advertiser says: Two thousand two hundred and thirty. seven members Of the Cambridge university senate" in England have signed doc- ument whose purport, stripped of all vefbiage, is that women may be permit ted to study at the university, provided they pass entrance examinations as rigid as those required of men, keep up during their course of study as high & standard of scholarship as the men do, pay the same fees that the men pay and receive none of the degrees. none of the honors and none of the privileges which are accorded to men in consequence of connection with the university. And this document emanates from what is known as tho liberal party in the university senate. The other party wants the women excluded absolutely. The terms upon which the liberal party is willing to admit them oonsti. ute a very faithful sample, stripped of all glitter and tinsel and other false pretense. of about nine. tenths of what passes in the world for chivalry.

4 Novel Bridge at Rouen.

This novel engineering work is called s'pont transbordeur' and is designed to fulfill all the purposes of a bridge, while it will offer no obstruction to the passage of ships with towering masts On each side of the river will be erected q small Eiffel tower. about ITO feet in height, and these towers will be joined at the top by lattieework bridge upon which lines of rails will be laid. On these rails will run skeleton platform, which can be pulled from side to side by the agency of steam or electricity. From this platform, which will be l60 feet above the quays, will depend steel wire ropes, which will support at the level of the river banks slung carriage large enough to accommodate 2 tram car full of passengers, besides other vehicles.
 It is intended that this novel form of bridge shall be in connection with the tram system at both sides Of the river, so that passengers can he carried across the river without leaving their seats in the cars. The work of building the tow CTS has already been commenced, and il is expected that the bridge will be open for traffic in IS months time It is said that the only contrivance bearing any resemblance to this pont ransbor- deur" is i'll operation at Bilbao.

 Nothing could hayo been better cal culated to allay the feelings of personal wrong which must have possessed Hunter at the time. That he thought so himself is shown by the following words, written by the dissatisfied gen. eral on the big yellow envelope in which the letter had been sent:

The ticket question has been a much
mooted one in this city for the past
three days. Those who were unable to
tickets as they desired, have been very
diligent in their search Cor the little
pasteboards
This consequent demand for tickets
has caused many persons to use vari-
Gus means to obtain possession of them
and they now demand exorbitant
prices for them.
The town is full Of spectators who
are doing land Office business. Sew
eral offices have been opened, and it is
claimed the men operating them have
about 1000 tickets in their possession A
prominent liveryman is said to have
fifty
The latest report, which does not
seem unfounded, is that the tickets
are being counterfeited and many of
the spurious have already been sold
to the unsuspecting.
The matter of duplicating the tick
etc would not be an easy task, in such
a short time because of the back of the
tickets being embossed with a peculiar
and unusual figure. .
1t is also stated on good authority
that the management have retained

be placed on sale Saturday morning
