STORY OF A WAR SONG.
The Composer of the Music I'VE Are
Coming, Father Abraham"

New York Suns Window (Minn.)

music for Whittier's song, We Are
Coming, Father Abraham, Three HIN
dred Thousand Strong" ia an old and
somewhat decrepit piano tuner, who
carries on his business In this part of
Minnesota. His name Ia A, II, Irving.
One day soon after Lincoln's call for
300 900 more men, Irving, then young
man, was on his way to Defiance, o.,
from Fort Wayne for the purpose of
singing at political and loyal meet
ing. lie had considerable reputation
as composer and singer and the
republicans had asked him to come and
help them. On the way he read the
poem which had just n"en published.
Irving studied It, formulated tune,
hummed It, and got the rhythm, and
that evening. Mt the Defar,e meeting
he sang the song for the Srst time.
When he had finished and the last
echoes had died away, men mounted
their chairs with wild enthusiasm,
swung their hats and broke loose In
cheers that rang with feeling He
sang 1t again and again and they
would scarcely let him rest. The next
night he sang the song at Fort Wayne,
and again aroused tho same enthusi-
asm. He wrote out the music and
sent 1t to the publisher who had
handled what he had composed, with
instructions TO publish It on his usual
terms OF royalty. II was published,
and inside Of n month more than 1000
copies had been sold. In few days
the publisher failed and Irving never
received dollar for the music.

SOME NEW INVENTIONS.

A newly designed wrench. which can
be used for pipes as we'll as nuts, has
rigid V-shaped jaws, mounted ON the
handle with the gripping surface of
one jaw supporting rectangular steel
device which Is toothed inside and
slides along the Jaw until the right
size is obtained.
A recently designed cigarette case
has the box hinged in the center Of the
bottom with sockets for the cigarettes
in alternate sides of the box, 80 that
when 1t Is opened they lie In opposite
rows, crossing each other at right
angles. thus making each one easily
removable without interfering with
the others.
To enable ships to cross harbor bars
when the water is not high enough to
clear them, pontoons are rugged on
opposite sides of the ship, with cables
running under the keel, and air-pumps
to increase heir buoyancy by dis
charging the water from the tanks,
when the cables are wound up on the
shafts TO lift the ship.
When a newly designed lamp is ac-
cidentally upset 1t Is prevented from
exploding by means of weight set IN
the base, with chain running to the
eXtinguisher, the device being rendered
inopehteive when carrying the lamp by
grasplng the chain when lifting the
lamp by the hand, and the lamp is
protected from fracture by pneumatic
tubes.
A new potato digging machine has a
steel pointed scoop to raise the po-
tatoes and earth on a slotted elevator,
over which cylinder brush Is revolv,
ing to separate the potatoes from the
dirt after which the tubers are carried
to a screen, which allows the small po-
tatoes to fall into one box and carries
the large ones into another box.
