A Good Lincoln Story.

At recent dinner in Boston 2 former citizen of Springfield, H., told the following Lincoln story: "Thc fire hose company of Springfield was very proud of it's well-equipped fire apparatus, and, desiring to procure some extra supplies, subscription pa- pers were sent around. The small boys, myself among the number, were gwen a share in the work. 1 went up to some dusty rooms over grocery and entered the law office of Lincoln. He asked me mum berless questions, and I bad to tell him all knew of this fire brigade and it's members. Then he said Well I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go home to supper-Mrs. Lin coin is generally good natured after supper, and then I'll tell her I've been thinking of giving $50 to the brigade, and she'll say: "Abe. will you never have any sense? Twenty dollars is quite enough" So tomorrow, my boy, you come around and get your S20."

The Female Minstrel.

Many of the citizens of Mena availed themselves of the opportunity to see a female minstrel show as given by the home talent assisted by the Zanoni sisters which was given at the opera house last Friday night.
 Tn the majority of cases the burnt cork and costumes were perfect dis guises enabling the young ladies to ''crack all the jokes" and do all the turns" imaginable without fear of detection. This liberty was not neg lected and many were the blushes that came to the faces of different individ- uals in the audience as they were made the subject of a "roast." As whole the evening was very pleasantly spent by those in attendance. Little Rose and Edyth Zanoni were exceedingly good in their specialties. Monday night the performance was repeated for the benefit of the Worrell family. On account of the disagreeable weath- CT and lack of advertising only few people attended and the total receipts were not over S5 The entire amount was donated to the Worrell family.
