Abraham Lincoln fell martyr to the cause
for which he fought.
As the fearful tidings travelled over mount
ain and sea, into every palace and hamlet of
the land a deep darkness settled upon the
minds of all good men. Old as history is,
and manifold as are its tragedies never has
death caused more pain, more anxiety, or
greater regret. But from the shadow of this
uncalculated eclipse came acclamations of
praise for the life he had lived and the good
be had accomplished.
We have not touched upon the domestic
life in the White House. 1t was filled with
lights and shadows. The golden maxim of
President Lincoln, with malice toward
none with charity for ALL" had not grown
bright with use by the people, for if it had,
the air would not have been filled with
criticism of the President and his family.

For the past five years THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE has been exceedingly
helpful to those desiring to attend Ma
tional Encampments and other great
gatherings by enabling them to easily
secure the necessary railroad tickets.

These clubs will be proportioned to
the distance of the place from Buffalo,
but we will make liberal arrangements
in regard to them.
They can be very easily raised. THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE has been greatly
improved, and is by long odds the most
attractive and interesting paper in the
country. 1t requires little effort to Sc
cure subscribers for it.
This is splendid opportunity. Com
rades can readily provide their own
tickets in this way. Sons and daughters
Of veterans can make their fathers an
agreeable present, which will enable him
to meet his dearly loved comrades.

A Laplander's Dress.

The operation of dressing in cold
weather in the far north is so elabor-
ate that it is difficult to understand how
deliberate boy or girl in Lapland can
be ready for breakfast before dinner
time. First, two suits of thick wooden
underclothing are put on, and over
these goes shirt of reindeer skin, with
cloth bands to fasten at the wrists;
sometimes two of these shirts, or kap-
tas, are worn, and reindeer vest be-
meath them. The trousers are of rein
deer skin also. Two pairs of heavy
woolen stockings are worn, and
the child who puts these on when they
are damp is sure to have trouble with
his feet. Around the feet peculiar
grass, well dried, is carefully bound,
and over all this goes the shoe. Buttons
and hooks and eyes are scarce in Lap
land; all clothing is fastened by strings,
and it is dreadful to think of all the
hard knots that Lap children have
fumbled over while too sleepy to be
amiable,-Moderator.

The streets are paved with concrete and

nish the service being fully up-to-date in

perity here of course, but understands the
reasons therefor only in vague and un-
certain way. A study of few facts rela-
tive to that part of the progress due to
the beet-sugar industry sets to flight a
multitude of idle guesses. Before view
ing this phase of the question it should
be stated with emphasis that while the
beet-sugar industry has achieved won
ders and vitality affected many branches
of trade, it is bu. one OF the important
sources OF revenue to the people.
Vast sums have been realized from
orchards and fields and from the many
forms of industry wholly independent of
sugar. Yet at the bottom of all there re-
mains the fact that the big factory by the
depot has given confidence to the masses
and inspired MANY successful man to
undertak ke enterprises remotely akin to
the raising of sugar beets.
Assistant Superintendent Morse of the
sugar-b ct factory, in conversation yes
terday. gave some interesting details about
the business that has for the past nine
years played SO important part in local
commerce.
I'VE EN- ploy about 200 men here stead
iiy," he said. land as most OF them are
men of families | think it is safe to say
that 800 or 900 people really earn their
livelihood at the factory or through those
working here. This is really equivalent
to the population of a good sized village.
From 1000 to 1900 acres OF land are
steadily under cultivation for beets, but
TO effect this purpose fully $1,000 acres
must be subject to control on the plan of
alternating crops. Probably fully four
hundred farmers are directly interested
in beet raising, while several hundred
