A Reply of the Great Lincoln Ap-
pIiCabIe to the Present Day.

To the Editor of the HERALD
Speaking of Lincoln, the following
striking and characteristic words from
his lips Sem to me to express the
present national situation in the finest
detail.
1t was at a time when the entire
country was muttering. when commit
house-that he said tosone of these
"Gentlemen, suppose all the property
you were worth was in gold and you
had put it in the hands of Blondin to
carry across the Niagara River on a
rope. Would you shake the cable or
keep shouting at him 'Blondin, stand
up little straighter; Blopdin, stOop a
little more, go q little faster, lean q
little more to the north, lean a little
more to the south?' No, you would
hold your breath as we'll as your
tongue and keep your hands off until
he was safe over. The government are
carrying an enormous weight: untold
treasures are in their hands; they are
doing the very best they can. Don t
badger them. Keep silence and we will
get you safe acrossn'
Events have shown that he spoke
the far seeing words of a prophet.
With the same force could those now
in power exclaim "Keep silence and
we will get you safe across
At the meeting Saturday evening
some of the wiser speakers (Mr. Leig b
Clark and Rabbi Cohen especially-sll

The fact that large numbers of
Cinnamon have recently crossed the
United States in bond to Mexico has
led Chinese inspectors to keep a close
watch on their movements and prevent
them if possible from passing back
across the border into this country, as
1t Is we'll known that the whole scheme
was simply ruse on the part of the
celestials to get into the United States.
The close watch kept on the move

The Change of Faces.

Every age has its own style of face and
features due possibly to the fashions of
the day, which impress themselves even in
the expressions of the human countenance.
No one who studies modern portraiture
can fail to note the resemblance that runs
through the works of the fashionable
painters 1t is not merely their charac-
teristic style, but the type which they have
transferred to canvas and which almost
bo.ders on sameness. These well born,
carefully trained beauties Of today arc as
much alike as peas in one pod They only
vary in degrees. OF course the artist
"idealizes." He would not be an artist
did he not find more in the face before his
easel than the sitter sees when she gazes
in the mirror or her family and friends
may detect in daily familiarity.
All the sulnptuous detail Of costume also
adds to the variety Of picture, but in
pose, in expression, there is traceable only
this one woman of the end of the century,
a creature of superb physique, clothed, or
unclothed, like royal princess. Compare
her with the pictured woman of 100 or 200
years ago and see how altogether changed
is this eternal feminine" In so years.
time there will DO produced another
"beauty, but one ventures to predict it
will have as great sameness as the beauty
which commands our admiration in the
portrait exhibitions Of the present day and
which shows that fashionable painters are
slaves to their subjects will. Boston

A FAMOUS BLUNDERER.
III. CRlln0, the Handy Andy of French
Humorous Literature.

n. Calln0, the Handy Andy of French
Humorous Literature.
M. Calino, the popular French simple
ton who performs in the humorous liter
allure Of France much the same function
that the traditional Paddy does in English
literature, has been made the subject Of a
grave study, in which his innocent stupid
tiles are carefully analysed He is moth
ing more or less than convenient persona
fioation Of type of the harmless blum
derer and complacent lack wit found in
all ages and countries. In France his say
ings reflect, however, something Of the
picturesqueness which is characteristic of
the nation.
Calino's blunderings, it seems, began at
an early age He had not craft enough to
tell lie that would hold water for a mo-
ment. One day at~school he got into
fight with companion and came home
with cash on his forehead. p
"How did you get that cutP" asked his
father.
"What cut papaf"
"Why, that great cash on your fore
head"
II bit myself there, papa"
"Bit YOURSELF Why, you couldn't bite
yourself OH your forehead"
II got up on chair to do it, papa"
Later in life Calino delivered himself
Of the following bit Of wisdom:
"As for me, don't care SO much for
the sun as do for the moon. You sec,
the sun only comes after it gets daylight,
when we could see just as well without it,
but the moons some use--it shines at
night"
Early one morning, when Calino was
out with his gun, he saw robin in the
garden of his friend Camille. He aimed
at it, but it dropped below the top of the
wall Then Calino went into the house,
crept up stairs softly, stole into Candles
bedroom without waking Camille, who
was in bed, pointed his gun out Of the
window at the robin and flred-bang!
Camille leaped out Of bed in wild con-
fusion and alarm.
w-why-w-w-what' the matter9"
ooh, did I wake you upP" said Calino.
II pulled the trigger just as softly as
could Boston Traveller

A Conflict Of Authority.

Little Rock, Ark, April 25.-The coal
mining strike in the western part OF
this state, which has been on for three
weeks, may cause conflict of author
ity between Governor Jones and the
federal courts. Some 5000 miners are
on strike in Arkansas and Indian Ter
ritory, and the mines are practically
at standstill. Negroes are to be
brought from North Carolina to work
these mines. and the United States
court at Fort Smith has issued an in
junction restraining miners and others
from interfering with any one desir-
ing to work, and Governor Jones has
issued counter order declaring that
the peace of the state demands the ex-
clusion of the negroes and authorizing
the sheriff Of Sebastian county to pre-
vent their landing in Arkansas.

Four Times Governor of Illinois ant
Once United States Senator.
Elkhart, Ills, April 25.-Ex- Governor
and former United States senator Rich.
ard J. Oglesby died at his residence in
this city yesterday. The immediate
cause of his death was fall, his head

the study of law at Springfield, and
upon his admission to the bar located
in Moultrie county, where he practiceG
until the Mexican war broke out in
1876, when he enlisted as volunteer.
At the close of the war he returned
to Decatur, and in 1847 drove overland
to California in search of gold. Re-
turning he was prominent in the cam
paign of 1852 He was nominated state
senator and elected. He served
throughout the civil war, and in 1864
was elected governor of Illinois, serv-
ing two terms. In 1872 he was again

Women Stock Specu1a tors.

my experience leads me to believe
that no woman stock speculator can ever
be taught that there is as much money
to be made in selling stocks at the right
time as there is in buying them" said a
broker. Most lambs are bulls anyway.

more up town which are supported almost
entirely by women Spectators, and many
Of the bucket shops have womens depart
ments. When the market booms, the wo-
men make money, and when it says lit
tie instead Of hanging on to their holdings
they close out at a loss and with bad grace.
Some of the most successful women specu-
lators whom have known have played
the market in way that would stagger o
man. Sometimes they buy stock be-
cause they like its name, and more fire.
quently they take it because it is below
