Russian journalists seem to have
very primitive notions on the subject
of the commercial conduct of their
newspapers. They appear to take
very little pains to get their journals
properly distributed; and a small local
circulation seems to represent the
height of their commercial ambitions.
A few of the best class journals, such,
for instance. as the Neva, which is
very tolerably printed, and enjoys a
wide circulation, are undoubtedly ex-
ceptions to the rule mentioned above;
but such instances of business ABILITY,
combined with energetic and effective
literary and artistic management, are
| few and far between.-Pall Mall Ga

Lincoln Wpx the TnIIer.

The following characteristic anecdote of
Abraham Lincoln is related by Mary Lii
Ian Herr IN the course of an article in
the July St. Nicholas.
Once while on his way to Washington
as President, the train stopped a little
time in Allegheny City. Pa. Around the
station great crowd gathered, 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 the platform stood a miner
wearing a red shirt and blue overalls, und
carrying a dinner pail. Like the rest he
had stopped hoping to see Mr.. Lincoln
The workman was almost giant in size,
and lowered head and shoulders above the
crowd.
No doubt he had heard that Lincoln also
was very tail; and, encouraged by the
friendly face, the workman, suddenly wav-
ed his bare arm above his head and CALI
ed out:
Iii. there. Abe Lincoln!-rm taller
than you-yes, a slight taller"
This loud speech silenced the crowd by
boldness, and laugh arose. But Mr.
Mr.. Lincoln leaning forward with good
humored smile, said quietly:
MY man. ] doubt H.: In fact. I'm sure
am the taller However, come up. and
let's measure"
The crowd made way, the workman
climbed TO the platform, and stood back
TO back with the President-elect. Each
put up a hand TO see whose head over
topped. Evidently Mr. Lincoln was the
victor; for with a smile OF satisfaction
he turned and offered his hand to his
beaten rival, saying cordially:
"Oh, ] though YOU were mistaken, and
was right; but I wished 10 be sure and
{ have aufiqHNI Hansarrrv
friends anyway, aren't we2'
Grasplng the outstretched hand IN a VI
gorous grasp, the workman replied:
