read hurriedly and then laughed.
"It's all right he said, and he hand
I'd me the letter. 1t was addressed to
Lieut.. Gov. Price, and signed by Abra-
ham Lincoln. It requested him to call
the Virginia legislature together at once
to take action regarding the changed
condition of affairs in the state: In con-
clusion we're these words, which
shall always remember: I want you
people to come back and hang up your
hats on the same old pegs
But on the very night that letter
was received, think" said Maj. Alder
son, 1.-The president was assassinated,
and his plans for the government OF the
states which seeded were never carried
out"
Mai. Anderson said that the letter was
addressed to the. lieutenant governor for
the reason that Gov. Smith mad had to
fee from Richmond at the evacuation OF
that city, and President Lincoln did not
know where he was.

ence, for these letters must come off to
make room for the others.
After the hands of the performer are
tied, he goes into the pocket with one
hand, takes the pair of scissors and
cuts the letters. AS his hands are tied
behind his back, nobody can see this
manipulation. The old letters are put
away in his pocket and the new fetter
is made ready for use. This second fet-
ter is made in the following way. The
band used is just as long as the one
used to tie the hands.
On each end q simple knot 10 made
(a), then a loose knot in the shape OF
loop 90, allowing the band to slip for
Tightening around the wrists and loosen
ing as the performer desires (a-B).
After the original letters are cut and
the coat is taken of the performer slips
both hands into the loops and pulls
them tight. ..a
This fetter cannot be distinguished
from the original one. BY repeating
this experiment, all sorts of variations
in tying and untying can be shown, un-
til finally this pseudo band is cut off by
one of the audience.-Boston Globe.

BISHOP and General.

An anecdote is related about Bishop
Rosecrans, brother of thelate Gen. w. S.
Rosecrans, which is vouched for on
good authority. The bishop was at din
ner one day in 1864, when the CONVEX
sation turned on the civil war.
One of the group remarked: 1T would
seem, bishop, that you and your broth
er are engaged in very different call
ings.''
Eyes, it would appear So responded
the bishop. "And yet" he continued,
eve are both fighting men. While the
general is welding the sword of the
flesh. trust that am using the sword
of the spirit. He is fighting the rebels,
and 1 am fighting the spirit Of darkness.
There is the difference in the pursuit
of our several duties; he is fighting with
Price (Gen.), while am fighting with
put price."-N. Y. Tribune

"The thing that annoyed us most
while we were holding Grant back from
Petersburg" said Judge Samuel ]. Har-
rison, of Hannibal, in the Kansas City
Star, "was the fuse bomb fired from
mortars. We kept sentries on the look
out all the time. When trouble start
ed our way the sentry would call:
'Twentyfour FOUNDER coming to the
left or whatever direction it might be,
and we would scamper into the bomb
proofs. The bomb-proofs we're general

solid earth over them. We kept our
ammunition chests there until they
commenced handing out 75-pounders to
us, and then no place was safe. One

very beautiful, it is true, but I would
like to see it shine as it did last night.
/ suppose it doesn't shine during the
day, so I'll wait until night and see 1t. "
So Mr.. Rooster sat down by the ball
and waited. The sun went down and it
grew dark, and black clouds hid the
stars and all the sky, but still the ball
would not shine.

rooster, as he sat and waited.
All the other chickens had gone to
roost hours before, but still the rooster
waited and watched.
Then the wind began to blow and
the thunder to roll and the lightning to
fash. and the first thing Mr.. Rooster
knew it was raining in torrents, and he
was soaked to the skin,- and most
frightened out of his pits.
"I'll save the moon," he cried, and
he grabbed up the ball and tried to
rim with it. When he reached the hen
house door the rain had stopped, and
the wind had swept the clouds from
the sky. and Mr.. Rooster looked up
and saw the moon smiling sweetly at
him. ~ & >,

said Mr.. Rooster, looking down at the
ball. "Well, guess it must be one OF

pears fettered as before.
Finally he slips his coat on again and
asks somebody to cut the letters, which
appear to be intact and in the same con-
dition as when they we're tied at the be-
ginning of the performance.
To perform this trick effectively, a
cutaway coat should be worn, having
in its back pockets the principal requi-
site, second fetter. Besides this fetter
small pair of scissors is secreted in
the same pocket. This pair of scissors
serves to cut the band tied by the audi.

LINCOLN AND VIRGINIA.
An Interesting Account of the Agi
@tattOn Caused by His Letter
After Lees SURRENDER.

Mai. John c. Anderson, formerly of
West Virginia but now of Wall street,
some time an officer in the confederate
army, tells in the Richmond Timas-
Dispatch an interesting story relating
to President Lincoln and his attitude
after the war toward the state which
had seeded from the union.
In April, 1865, just after the end of
the war;" said Maj. Anderson, Il was
sitting on the porch Of the residence of
Lieut.. Gov. Price in Lewisburg, in
Greenbrier county. had just returned
home from the army, and you may we'll
believe was enjoying the rest and the
company Of the prettiest girl in the
word. Gov. Prices daughter, who was
on the porch with me.
while we were talking" Maj. Alder
son continued, "a soldier suddenly gal
loped into sight and drew rein at the
door. He asked if that was Gov. Prices
house, and upon my telling him that it
was he said he brought letter for Gov.
Price, from the president of the United
States. He had evidently ridden hard,
fer he looked greatly fatigued and his
horse was covered with foam.
II told him that the governor was
down on his farm two or three miles
away and that, as he seemed tired and
broken down, would deliver the letter.
The officer hesitated, but upon the
young lady assuring him that l. was
as one of the family and that it would
be all right he gave me the letter,
which was in large official envelope
The officer went into the house to rest
and get something to eat. l got on a
horse and hurried. to the farm to see
Gov. Price.

the barn tanning wheat" Maj. Alder
son went on, with reminiscent smile.
"They had buried two or three sacks
of grain to keep it from falling into th9
hands of the northern troops, and now
they had resurrected it and were clean
ing it to have some bread. A negro was
turning the wheat fan, another was
scraping away the cleaned wheat, and
Gov. Price was standing by the hopper
working the grain through to the rid
dies.
IT jumped off my horse and hurried
: into the barn.
Governor said in some excite
mDnt, here is letter for you from
the president of the United States
"The old fellow turned as white as a
sheet. You see, we did not know at
that time just what course the United
States government would pursue toward
the men who had fought in the confed-
crate army or held Office under the con-
federate government. The old fellow

SPIDER ENTRAPS BIRD.
A Brown Creeper Invades the Field
Museum and Suddenly Comes
to Grief.

"'Will you walk into my parlor"
Said the spider to the n.y.
This time it was not the fly that the
willy spider sought to entangle in. his
meshes, but a small bird, against which
he felt he had just cause tor grievance.
It seems that during the past season
the Field museum at Chicago has been
infested with large quantities of OBJ
noxious spiders. They have festooned
the ceiling and great columns OF the
building with yards of their shuttle
work, much to the annoyance OF the
authorities. Scrubwomen and janitors
have tried in vain to relieve the building
of the pests and their work. Even the
suggestions of frost did not seem to
greatly diminish the insects. Finally
a wee brown creeper, discovering the
state of things there, decided to take up
his abode inside and assist the authori-
ties in Kidding the building of the pests.
For several days he fitted about very
much as he pleased, combining himself
mainly to the rear entrance room, wag-
eing up and down column after column
and probing his long bill into every crew
ice. With his murderous vigilance he
actually carried on very effective work
there. He seemed permanent fixture,
and the authorities and the public eyed
him amusedly.
The other morning, however, as cur
ator of one of the departments was
passing. a guard remarked:
There's a bird for your collection!
Looks as IL it was done for"
The bird lay painting on its side at the
bottom of one of the columns.
Bring fly" said the scientist, as he
took the little creeper in his hands.
The guard held buzzing fly on the
point of pin to the birds beak, saw it
bite at it voraciously.
Doesn't look as II he were going to
die" said the scientist. II wonder
what's the matter with him, anyway"
Turning the bird over in his hand, he
found it had been entrapped in large
SPIDERS web, which had bound the wing
and tail together in such a manner as
to preclude flying. 1t looked as If some
wise old spider had resented the bi1d's
work of determination and had purpose
ly ensnared him in trap. .
The queer bandage was removed and
the bird darted out over the iron grating
and shot out of sight across the lagoon.
