WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN.

The greatest names in American his
tory are Washington and Lincoln. One
is forever associated with the inue-
pendenCe of the states and the forma
ton of the federal union, the other
with the universal and the preserva-
tion of that union. Washington en-
forced the declaration of independence
as against England, Lincoln proclaimed
it's fulfillment, not only to a down.
trodden race in America, but to all
people, for all those who may seek the
protection of our flag. These illus
trious men achieved grander results for
mankind within single century-from
1775 to 1S65-than any men ever ac-
complished in all the years since first
the flight of time began. Washington
engaged in no ordinary revolution.
With him it was not who should rule,
but what should rule. He drew his
sword, not for change of rulers upon
an established throne. but to establish
new government which should ac-
knowledge no throne but the tribune OF
the people. Lincoln accepted war to
save the union. the safeguard of our

GAVE BOY A TONIC CAPSULE.
Reward for the Honesty and Cheek or

Reward for the Honesty and Chepx OF
II Jealous Bellboy.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat: A well-known drug drummer
who is paying his regular holiday visit
to New Orleans, took the train last
Monday evening for a little side trip
to Baton Rouge and in the hurry of
his departure left a handsome bone
handled umbrella hanging on hook
in the lobby of the hotel. II was a
tempting prize, but probably every
kleptomaniac who saw it supposed the
owner was seated near at hand. At
any rate, it remained undisturbed and
was still there yesterday when the
drummer returned. by the way" he
remarked, after he exchanged greet
ines with the clerk, I've managed
somehow to lose ny new bone-hand!ed
umbrella. Have any of you seen such
a thing lying around the office?" A
quick-witted bellboy heard the ques-
ton and, glacing around, saw the miss
ing article hanging within foot of his
head. Supposing it had been there for
only few moments, he promptly
grasped the ferrule. ''Is this the one?"
he inquired. "Yes!" exclaimed the
traveller, delighted, "and must say I'm
surprised nobody has nipped it," Jaw,
they couldn't do that" replied the bell
boy, I've been holdin' on to it fer y
cver since y hung it up" The drug
drummer stopped with his hand half
way down his pocket and whimsical
smile overspread his countenance.
Well" he said slowly, Il was intend
ing to give you half dollar, but IL
you've been holding that umbrella for
three consecutive days you're more in
need of a tonic. Here is a capsule of
quinine and iron." The gloom which
settled down upon the bell bench might
have been hewn with an AK.

Blair told Richard Vaux

Gen. Blair told Richard Vaux this
story:
Mr.. Lincoln had become impatient
at Gen. McClellan's delay on the penin-
sula, and asked Frank Blair to go with
him to see the commanding general.
The distinguished visitors arrived on
hot day, and went straight to McClel-
lan's headquarters. They were re-
ceived with scant courtesy. and the
commanding general did not ask the
president to eat or drink. Lincoln sat
in his white linen duster, uncomforta-
bly, silent. with his long and sinewy
limbs doubled up like a jackknife, till
finally Gen. Mcclellan broke the dense
silence by saying:
Mr. President, have you received
the letter l mailed you yesterday"
No" courteously replied Lincoln;
II must have passed it on the way"

Hobart and Newspaper Mon.

The late Vice-President Garret A..
Hobart delighted in informal chats
about people and things bordering on
Bohemia. The ways of newspaper
men strangely interested him. He said
once that he envied them because OF
their rowing freedom and the ease with
which they seemed to write. He con-
sidered writing greater art than
speaking. II find no trouble In talk
