Ex-senator Dubois expresses the
opinion that the Republican party
will change its policy in regard to
territorial expansion; if it don't the
party will split. The majority OF
the people East, he says, are opposed
to the so-called Imperialism. The
terms of the treaty, Mr.. Dubois says,
will have to be called out, but after

have a chance for self-government.

Chunks of Gold.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Man.
says: Rat Portage is wild with
excitement over a marvellous strike
made in the Mikado gold mine. The
ore fills stope four feet high and
two and one-third feet wide, and
the richest ore is worth on con-
sentative estimate from $25, 900 to
$35 600 a ton in free milling gold.
The ore is being put in barrels and
sacks and men are guarding 1t. AT
a low estimate there is now quar-

The latest advices from miners COM
ing say the vein is now II feet wide
with no decrease in value. The
length and breadth of the ore body
is not yet determined.

weeks he found himself famous, and
his name flying to the four corners of
the earth on the wings of the newspa-

In the light of subsequent events it
is interesting to note what, at this
time, was Lincoln's own estimate "of
the least possible period in which the
ultimate extinction of slavery could be
effected, even under the most favor
able circumstances. In the Charles
town debate he said:
'sNow at this day in the history of
the world, we can no more foretell
where the end of this slavery agitation
will be than we can see the end of
the world itself do not mean
to say that when it (the slavery agi-
tation) takes a turn toward ultimate
extinction it will be in a day, nor in a
year, nor in two years. I do not
suppose that in the most peaceful way
ultimate extinction would occur in
less than hundred years at least; but
that it will occur in the best way for
both races in Gods own good time, 4
have no doubt"
In his contest with Douglas for the
U. S. senatorship Lincoln, probably,
expected defeat. Indeed, one of the
questions which he propounded to
Douglas, at the famous Freeport de-
bate, seemed to invite it Already his
eyes were reading the future. The
question ran as follows: "Can the peo-
pie of a United States territory, in
any lawful way, against the wish of
any citizen of the United States ex-
clude slavery from it's limits prior to
the formation of State constitution 2"
There is a tradition that on the night
preceding this Freeport debate, Lin
coins bedroom was invaded by a.
rumber of excited republican leaders.

STATISTICS ABOUT THE SEA
Curious Figures About It's Weight,
Depth and Volume.

| | intend to take my revenge on the
sea for the past indignities suffered
from him and to deal deliberately in
| personalities about him. Inviting to
my side his many victims who have
suffered the like indignities, I propose
that we weigh, measure and gauge
him, bottle him, play games with him
and show him up generally-for, like
most DULLES, he is a bit of a humbug.
For our attack on the sea we shall
have a few facts to start from, and
here they are:
We take the statements of four good.
men of science, a geographer, an as
tronomer, physicist, statistician,
add the statements, divide by four,
and arrive at the result that the sur
face of the sea is 1391amillions of So.
miles, his weight 1882, 900, 000,0 ,000,-
900 tons and his volume 322,000,000
cubic miles. A like process will tell
us that the average depth of the sea
is 10000 feet (more than two and
one quarter miles), and we know that
one cubic foot Of him weighs over
sixty-four pounds avoirdupois, i. e.,
about four and one-half stone, or as
much as a small child or 10 years of
age. From these figures Mr.. School
ing deduces that the sea is simply
nowhere when we compare it with the
land of this planet as regards the
solid quantities of weight, depth and
volume:
"Only in the superficial quality Of
surface does the sea beat the land. AS
to beauty, there is infinitely more of
it and in much greater variety, on the
land than on the sea. To further
emphasize the magnificence of the
sea we will now pour into it jelly
mold-one of those thin, ornamental,
tin shapes you see in the kitchen
dresser. For this experiment I have
dug out all the inside Of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire7
land, from it's surface all the way
down to the center of the earth 1880
miles), and have thus made the larg-
est jelly mold known-or rather two
of them, for Ireland forms shape
by itself. although, at bottom, it is
firmly Joined to England, Wales and
Scotland. Now, this jelly mould
would be large enough to hold Just
one-half of all the sea of this planet,
so that a pair of these tin shapes
would dispose of the whole sea.-Pear-

Worthington participated in the ad-

He was a great friend of Fremont, and
was his legal representative in settling
up his Mariposa estate, in California.
He was sent by Nevada as her first
representative in congress. Nye and
Stewart came along at the time as
senators. When Grant was in Call

acquainted with Worthington. The
friendship that sprung up between
them in the golden state was severed
only by Grants death. President
Johnson appointed Worthirgton to a

was recalled, and Grant appointed him
collector of the port of Charleston, 5.

ODD SOFA PILLOWS.

A unique sofa cushion, newly exc
cuted, has a trio Of ballet girls on its
white satin surface. Instead Of heavy,
painstaking embroidery, with set
stitches and miles of floss silk, this
novel style Of work is done with dash
and originality. The figures of the dan
GERS are well drawn in in the begin
ming, then they are simply etched out
in black The spangled gauze that
forms the triple layer of ballet skirt,
is genuine black-spangled gauze APP
piled to the satin background. The
low-cut bodices of the dancers are
outlined and filled in with heavy
raised threads. The. scarlet stockings
are worked up-and-down fashion, with
long stitches that fill in easily. The
jaunty waists are spangled Also What
perhaps gives the most natural touch
to the figures lis the deliberately ar
rayed powdered hair, all puffs and
curls, cleverly produced with a knotted
stitch done in blond-colored lusterless
silk. The faces of the ballet dancers
are, of course, left much to the imag-
ination, being merely outlined on a
| flesh colored surface, but the pose of
the red-stockinged figures is SO life
like that the effect is spirited and
pleasing. No visitor could remain in
a bad humor long with those gay fig
ures looking from the sofa cushions.
One particular cushion was of thick
white satin, with a dull red for the re-
verse side, and filing and bordering
of the color of the ballet stockings.
! Another novel sofa cushion shows
three cats in black holding golf sticks
in their paws. Cats are for luck as al
the world knows, ard these are etched
out and filled in with the same airy
grace that distinguishes the ballet
dancers. Other cats have tennis rae
quets, but none of these designs is
worked according to the rules of en-
broidery. The figures are expected to
caper for a season on these cushions
and wall banners and then only to be
RELOCATED to obscurity. New York

The celebration of February II, the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln, al
though a legal holiday in but nine OF
the states of the union, will be almost
national in it's character this year.
The massive strength, the kindness
and nobility of the character of Abra-
ham Lincoln appeal with peculiar force
to the hearts and intellects of the peo-
pie. Time but serves to make more
distinct the worth of his statesman
ship, and the priceless value to g ma
ton of the heritage of a life such as
his. Hence, it is, that this year, as
in no past year, the love of great ma
ton will honor the memory and cele
brate the birthday of this really great
man.
Appropriate patriotic exercises will
be held in nearly all Of the public
schools, at which national songs will
be sung, patriotic recitations given,
and addresses be made by prominent
citizens on the life of Abraham Lin
coin and the value of his character as
a model for the youth of the nation.
Various patriotic clubs and other Or
CARNATIONS throughout the country,
will give banquets and hold public
meetings in observance of the day.
One of the most elaborate of these
dinners will be given by the Mar
Quette club of Chicago, at the Audito-
rum hotel Ex-President Harrison
will be the guest Of honor, and deliver
an address, The subject of Gen. Har-
rison's address is to be The Life and
Character of Abraham Lincoln; and
will be his first public utterance on
Lincoln. The other speakers are
Bishop Potter, Justice Brewer of the
supreme court, Governor Black of
New York, Congressman Boutelle and
Lyman Gage.
In New York city the day will be
fittingly commemorated by various pa
