SIMPLY PRESIDENT.

William Beneder Wilson Of Lancas-
ter, Pa. who entered the war depart
ment as a military telegrapher in 1861,
gives the following fresh anecdote:
In the fall of 1861 fires in Washing
ton city were Of frequent occurrence,
without any organized adequate means
for eXtinguishing them being in exist
ence there. This condition of affairs
was a source of so much anxiety to the
country at large that no sooner was a
washington fire announced in The
newspapers than the mails would TEEN
with patriotic offers to the president
from all sections for the formation of
fire brigades as a component part of
the army for the protection Of the
capital. This was one of the many
great annoyances Of irrelevant sub
jects thrust upon the president. He
bore it all as part of the responsible
tiles resting upon him, yet at last was
compelled to rebuke it from sheer
ack of time to give it any attention.
One night the Washington infirmary
burned down, and, as was customary
after such disasters, the next day
brought the president the usual COM
element of offers Of fire engines and
iremen. Philadelphia's patriotism,
true to it's traditions, could not await
the slow progress Of the mail, but
sent forward committee Of citizens
to urge upon the president the &C
ceptance of a fully equipped fire brig
ade for Washington. On their arrival
at the White house they were most
courteously and blandly received by
Mr.. Lincoln. Eloquently did they
urge their mission, but valuable time
was being wasted, and Mr. Lincoln
was forced to bring the conference to
close, which he did by interrupting
the committee in the midst of grand
and to be clinching oratorical effort
by gravely saying, as if he had just
awakened to the true import of the
visit: 'Ah, yes, gentlemen, but it is a
mistake to suppose that I am at the
head Of the fire department of the
city of Washington! I am simply pres
ident of the United States.

ENORMOUS MAsTODON TUsKs.
Recovered From the Ice Of the North
at Cost of Two Lives.

A pair Of mastodon tusks, the largest
and most perfect specimens ever
found, were brought to this city re-
Gently on the Whaler Bonanza, and are
in the possession Of the H. Liebes
Company. They measure 108 inches
in length on the QUEER curve, 9115
inches in the inner curve and Is inches
in circumference about two feet from
the base, 171a inches in the middle and
141A inches two feet from the point.
/ ney weigh little over 103 pounds
each, or an aggregate Of 207 pounds.
The weight Of the ordinary tusk is
about twelve pounds pair, and their
market value from so to go cents a
pound, according to the size and clear
ness of ivory. The commercial value
of these mammoths is beyond compu-
tation, owing to their rarity. Iney
were found few miles from Point
Barrow, where the company main
tains a supply station for its whalers
and fur hunters, and two lives were
sacrificed in digging them out Of the
ice in which they were imbedded, six
teen feet below the surface.
The following account Of the find
was sent to the company by its agent
at Point Barrow: "a party Of natives
in the cOmpany's employ started from
the station, early last spring, to carry
supplies to some hunters, who were
collecting furs for the company. About
ten miles from the station, while tray-
cling over the ice, they discovered, ac-
cidentally, some foreign substance
deeply Embedded in one Of the foes,
which looked like a flaw in a clear
gem. They started to dig, and it
took three days of axing and chiseling
to reach the points of the huge tusks.
Two Of the natives lost their lives De
fore the tusks were clear of the ice.
One Of them stepped back and fell into
cTevice made by himself and his
companions, one of whom jumped to
his assistance, and went down into the
sea, never to rise again. The others
saw that they would share the same
fate and made no further attempt to
rescue the two unfortunates After
they had secured their find the natives
returned to the station. The joy over
their success was greater than the sor-

A MAN OF PRAYER.

Abraham Lincoln was man Of
prayer. He was accustomed in the
darkest times of the war to inquire Of
Of our armies. He believed that the
cause was right and just and that
God was on our side, or rather that
eve were on Gods side" in that ire
mendous struggle. Bishop Simpson
was frequent visitor at the White
House. He was constantly making
speeches for the union and sustaining
the administration in every possible
way. One day l met him on train
and he told me that he had been to
see the president and was most cor
daily received. While they were
talking Mr.. Lincoln suddenly arose
and went to the door and locked it,
and, returning, said: Bishop Simp-
son, feel the need Of prayer. Will
you pray for me and for the country?"
They knelt together and the Bishop
poured out his soul to God for his
blessing to rest upon the president
and upon the government, and upon
the nation, and that victory and peace
might soon be won. All through the
prayer Mr.. Lincoln fervently re-
sponded
This was not made public until the
war was over. 1t is an incident in
the life of Mr.. Lincoln which has not
been widely published. Mr.. Lincoln
was very reticent upon his own re-
ligious experience, but those who
knew him best are certain Of the fact
that he was a man of importunare and
prevailing prayer.-CharIes G. Nc
Cabe, bishop.

PROGRESS IN TELEGRAPHY.

Although many years have elapsed
since the duplex and qua0ruplex i'm
provements on the original Morse sys-
tenn Of telegraphy were introduced,
and although a great many plans for
increasing the number of messages on
a single wire have been announced in
the interval, the quad" is still the
only multiplying instrument in general
use, and four the highest number of
messages sent at once, except, perhaps,
in isolated and mostly experimental
cases. The multiplex apparatus, in
vented by Prof. Rowland of Johns
Hopkins university, which is said to
send and even 10 messages over one
wire at the same time, and to print
them automatically as received, may
or may not be the long sought means
Of expediting Geographic business,
but it's efficacy remains to be proved
If it will accomplish all that is claimed
for it it will be a decided benefit 10
not only the industrial world, but also
to crowded cities, for it will stop the
rapid increase Of overhead wires and
hasten the time when, by reason Of
their comparatively small number, all
telegraph wires can be buried.-Phil-
a0elphia Ledger.

TWO LITTLE ROMANCES.

A lady who attended the church of a
well-knOwn London Clergyman COM
planned to him that she could not con
tinue to go to his church, as gentle
man, member Of the same congrega-
ton, stared at her so persistently. Inc
about it, but he said she mad such a
sweet face he could not help looking
at her. The clergyman soon after, to
his great surprise, was requested TO
perform the marriage ceremony for
this very couple.
A marriage in Australia took place
under peculiar circumstances. A
young man used to receive nice letters
from his young sister, which he some
times showed to his friend, a chaplain;
be also showed him her photograph.
The chaplain became captivated, and
asked if the sister could not be per-
suaded to cCme out, and he wrote and
proposed to her. In the course OF time
an acceptance arrived, and when the
vessel was expected by which the sis
chaplain got leave to go and meet
her, but when the brother saw who
had come he exclaimed in despair.
IT'S Maria!" Not the pretty young
sister, but one twenty years older. But
as she had come so far the chaplain
did not like to ship her back again.
and so succumbed to his fate.

LINCOLN MADE A CONVEX !.


81 have story on Abraham Lin
coin which has never been printed, .
said United States Judge C. G. Foster.
I'm the winter Of 1890 Lincoln
visited Kansas, making speeches at
Troy and Atchison. At Atchison he
put up at the old Massasoit house,
which every old-time politician will
remember. Gen. Strongfellow, John
A. Martin, Tom Murphy and I called
upon Mr.. Lincoln at the hotel. In the
course Of the conversation Lincoln
turned to Stringfellow, who was pro-
slavery advocate, and said:
Gen. Stringfellow, you pro-slavery
fellows gave as one reason why slav-
cry should not be prohibited in Kan
sas that only the negro could break up
the tough prairie sod. Now, I've
broken hundreds of acres Of prairie
sod in my time and the only ques-
ton which remains to be decided is
whether l am white man or a mig

force of the argument and congratu-
lated Mr.. Lincoln upon his pointed,
logical way of putting things. ''-Syra-

CHLOE'S VALENTINE.

With growing sense of diffidence
She pauses at the corner,
Quite unaware her bashful air
Doth passing we'll adorn her
A child of Eve, bound to achieve
Her wish and post her letter,
Though fearing lest some one han
guessed
The tremors that beset her.
A ntine-the lace design
Upon the packet shows it.
The address down for fear the town
Will know it as she knows 1t.
Well, little maid, a careless blade
May hold it in derision d
Nor even guess the tenderness
That prompted your decisiong 7
The paper lace may find a place
Among his pipes and papers,
Considered quite unique and bright
When folded into tapers!
All, Well-a-day, the maids must play
At love and pay the piper,
But youth shall prance a lively dance
When Chloe's years are ripper!

That brighten in the morning lands;

Her cup of plenty never fails,
She feeds the nations with her bread
She throws DER many an alien race
The shield of equal-poising law,
The weak are sheltered in her grace,

Around the world her eagle flies,
The peoples gather at her knees,
Her peaceful empire arches rise
