The Death of Lincoln.

INC LEAN OF Lincoln,
o slow TO smite and swift to spare,
Gentle and merciful and iust
Who In the fear Of God didst bear
The sword Of power nations trust!
In sorrow by thy bier we stand,
Amid the awe that bushes all,
And speak the anguish OF land
That shook with horror at thy fall.
Thy.task is done; the bond are free;
We bear thee to an honored grave,
Whose proudest monument shall be
The broken letters Of the slave.
Pure was thy life; its bloody close
Hath placed thee with the sons OF light,
Among the noblest host of those
Who persisted IN the cause of right.

EDGAR MACLAREN SWAN.


From out the strong young west, he came
In those warlike days OF yOre,
When Freedoms cry had reached the sky
And rung from shore to shore
He knew the world was watching him,
He heard the words OF scorn,
He felt the weight OF q severed state
BY cruel rebellion torn.
But calling on Jehovah,
He seized his mighty pen
And with a stroke, the chains he broke
From million bonded men.
He was dauntless leader
AS among the host he moved,
And he gave his life in the time OF strife
To save the cause he loved.
In life's small things be resolute ard
great
To keep thy muscle. trained. Know'st
thou when Fate
Thy measure takes, or when she'Hsay
to thee?
81 find thee worthy. Do this deed for
mel" Lowell.

WHEAT EXPORTS INCREASE.

NUMEROUS LABOR DISPUTES.

New York, Feb, ar, G, Dunn &
Co, IS weekly review OF trade says
Despite some drawbacks the business
situation continues satisfactory, with
especially good news from manufac-
turing centers Labor disputes are
somewhat more numerous and low

northwest Special lines were stlmu-
lated by scNsonable weather, but the
same influence effected Others adverse
ly,
Footwear shops in New England
have large orders for spring goods and
nre still busy on seasonable lines,
while weekly shipments continue to
exceed those OF last year Wholesale
buyers are in the Boston market, but
show an inclination TO delay placing
contracts Nt the present advanced
prices, Hides have declined still fur
ther, Textile mills are well occupied
and the lack of accumulations in first
hands gives strong tone to the mar
lSet, though there is much evidence Of
conservatism among the buyers Fewer
lines Of new woolcns have been opened
than were expected, The raw material
is sustained by brisk competition and
firm prices at the London wool sale.
Even at the lowest point Of the week
wheat was &c and corn lSc higher than
at the corresponding date last year.
Foreign buying Of wheat was not per-
ccptbly stimulated by the lower prices,
but there continued steady outgo, ag-
grcgating 0, 76i, S73 bushels for the week,
flour included, compared with 3,39i,75s
bushels year ago. Consumption Of
wheat us fodder or holding back for
higher prices prevents the big yield
from swallowing receipts, which for the
week were @,Si0OSl bushels, against
? 9,7T5,055 last year, The reduced yield
of corn is reflected in interior arrivals
of only 2,37O, 3Gj bushels, compared with
4,0Os, 0G2 bushels u year ago, while the
high price is responsible for Atlantic
exports of 33l, 500 bushels against
2,4ls,Ol3 last year, Conflicting state
mcnts hold the cotton market in sus-
pensc but there is no uncertainty as to
the unparalleled yield of cotton which
put the price within a fraction of the
lowest point on record,

Washington, Feb. d.-There is much
comment and speculation regarding the
attendance of the presidents daughter
Alice uron the coronation Of Edward
VII. Whitelaw Reid has invited her to
accompany himself and his daughters to
attend that ceremony. The diplomats
declare that should she go she must be
ranked rs princess, and the gossips
say that she would be required to have
a crimson robe or one Of royal purple,
and that she must wear coronet.
Neither Of these would she do If she
were permitted to do so.
lfMiss Roosevelt could be permitted to
attend the coronation in the same unos-
tentatious manner that any other young
woman Of good American family whom
Whitelaw Reid might invite TO accom-
pany him would be permitted TO do, the
invitation would long ago have been
formally accepted. But ifcourt etiquet
is to be binding on Miss Roosevelt she
may be compelled TO remain at home,

In examining diamonds do not trust
to artificial light and choose a clear

bilious, On dark, foggy day the pur-

HOLLAND TAKES NEWCOURSE
ProfFerS Service to EnIighten Bravo
Boer Leaders,
OF A DUTCH COMMISSION.

London, Feb, 1.-The Hague corr
respondent Of the Daily Mail says he
Is able TO announce on authority that
the Dutch note TO Great Britain, after
rehearsing the earnest concern Of that
government at the prolonPation Of
hostilities in South Africa, offered It's
good offices in bringing them to n closel
70 this end Holland asked whether
Great Britain would be willing TO per-
NIT Dutch commission TO proceed 10
South Africa, to enlighten the Boer
leaders in the field rs to the rcal posi-
tion of affairs, and more especially
since it Is understood that there Is not
the slightest chance of intervention on
the part OF any European power, and
that the prolongation Of hostilities is
useless, as the brave struggle can
serve no further good purpose.
Tne correspondent says the Dutch
government expressly announces in
this note that it possesses no authori-
2ation whatsoever from the Boer lead
ers, either in Europe or South Africa,
to take this suggested step, but that it
appeals to Great Britain on the ground
of common humanity, for military per-
mission for the Dutch commission to
accomplish its mission of peace. Such
permission would bind neither tho
British government TO the discussion Of
terms or the initiation Of any negotia-
tions, nor pledge the Dutch govern.
ment for the success Of its self-imgoscd
task.
1t Is understood that Great Britain
Is awaiting the receipt Of Lord Kitch-
eners views on this suggestion aud is
willing to grant the requested safe
conduct TO the Dutch commission If
Lord Kitchener offers no objections,
though it is not hopeful of any pract-
cal result from the effort,
The truth appears to be that DR.,
Kuyper, the Dutch premier, despoiring
because Of the negative attitude of Dr.
Leyds, the European representative of
the Transvaal, and his party, who
maintained that their credentials only
permitted negotiations on the basis of
the retention Of Boer independence,
decided to appeal to the lighting
burghers. This explains the wish Of
the Boer delegates in Europe to dis
sociate themselves from the action
taken by Holland.

A PETRIFlED FOREST.

Almost everyone has heard OF the

At the forest there are hundreds Of
sections of tree trunks of various
sizes and in variegated colors lying eX-
posed on the plain or half buried in
the hillsides. There are several ex-

Interested as to what action congress

cue such IDEAS and consider life and
property to be assured. Such believe
that congress win act for the benefit of

mission granting franchises would
naturally follow and American capital
