WHEN CURTIS SPOKE
Stirring Event in the Convention That
First Nominated Lincoln

Among the most inspiring recollec-
tions of my life is a scene I witnessed
in the Republican national convention
of 1850, which nominated Abraham
Lincoln as it's candidate for the presl-
dency of the United States
The convention was about to vote
upon the Republican platform reported
by the committee on resolutions. Then
arose the venerable form of Joshua r..
Giddings, of Ohio, one Of the veteran
champions of the anti-slavery cause.
He confessed himself painfully sur
prised that the declaration of inde-
pendence had not found a word OF rec
ognition in that solemn announcement
of the Republican creed, and he moved
to amend the platform by inserting in
certain place the words:
Thai the maintenance of the prin-
ciple promulgated in the declaration Of
independence and embodied in the fed
era1 constitution, that ali men are Gre
ated equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights; that among these are life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness es-
sential to the preservation of our re-
publican Institutions"
The convention, impatient as such
assemblages are apt to be at any prop
osition threatening to delay the dis
patch of business, heedlessly rejected
the amendment Mr.. G1ddlngS, a look
of distress upon his face, his white
head towering above the crowd, slowly
and sadly walked toward the door Of
the hall
Suddenly from among the New York
delegation a young man of strikingiy
beautiful features Yleaped upon a chair
and demanded to be heard. The same
noisy demonstration of fmpatience
greeted him. But he would not yield.
Gentlemen he said in calm tones,
"this is convention of free speech,
and have been given the floor. /
have but a few words to say to you,
but shall say them if I stand here un-
til tomorrow morning"
Another tunultueus explosion of inn
patience, but he did not falter. At last
his courage won and silence fell upon
the assembly Then his musical voice
rang out like a trumpet call. Was this,
he said, the party of freedom met on
the borders of the free prairies to ad-
vance the cause of liberty and human
rights? After a few such sentences Of
almost defiant appeal he renewed the
amendment to the platform moved by
Mr.. Giddings, and with an overWhelm-
ing shout of enthusiasm the convention
adopted it.-Carl Schurz in McClures.

they had previously risen. Houses with

Corn Does Not Thrive
Firm cables and a good cash demand
caused some degree of strength in corn
early in the session. There was some
buying by -scalpers on the strength Of
wheat. With the break in wheat how
ever, the corn market lost its initial firm
ness. Predictions of clear. cool weather
also helped to depress prices. Trading
throughout the day was of small volume
and largely of local character. December

were 112 cars.
The early provision market was strong
on buying for outsiders and by local
shorts. Offerings were light until the
grain market showed a tendency to weak

SIX Hours at Stretch and Divisions
Up to "s6thiy"
No English congregation would have
listened to such sermons as used to be
popular in the Presbyterian churches of
Scotland. There is indeed a story told
of a dissenting preacher named Lobb in
the seventeenth century who, when South
went to hear him, being mounted up in
the pulpit and naming his text, made
nothing of splitting it up into twenty-six
divisions, upon which separately he very
carefully undertook to expatiate in their
order. Thereupon the doctor rose cup.
and, jogging the friend who bore him
company, said: Let us go home and
fetch our gowns and slippers, for I find
this man will make night work of it, -
But Mr.. LObb himself was humane in
Thomas Boston, to whose sermons Sir
Archibald Geikie has lately drawn atten-
tion in his fascinating Scottish Remiilis-
cences." Mr.. Thomas Boston, who wrote

Psalm cxivii, IL ssThe Lord taketh
pleasure in them that fear Him and in
those that hope in His mercy'-A4r Bos-
ton, after an introduction in four sec

vided into from three to eight heads, but
the last doctrine required another sermon
which Contained "a practical improvement
of the WHOLE arranged under eigfty-six
subdivided into seventy-six heads - On
this text, indeed. Mr.. Boston preached
four such sermons.
It is more than doubtful whether any
brains or hearts south of the Tweed could
have stood the strain Of such discourses
But Scotch preacher, not in the present
degenerate age, has been known to preach
from five to six hours at stretch, and
sometimes when one preacher had fin
ished his sermon another would begin.
and there would be a succession Of
preachers delivering sermon upon sermon,
until the unhappy congregations We're
kept listening to stthe Word for as many
as ten hours without break-Bislaop

If the bed is big enough, cut choice Irish potatoes to one eye, i'll small pasteboard boxes with soil and plant one in each When soil is warm enough they can easily be transplante&.
