Lincoln Pointed a Moral.

This story of Lincoln seems to be
4 new one. 1t was related at an Old
settlers meeting at Mount Pleasant,
Iowa, by the late Senator James Mar
Ian of Iowa, who served as secretary
of the interior under Mr.. Lincoln, and
whose daughter Mary is the wife OF
Robert Lincoln. ex-secretary of war,
ard now a leading lawyer and canital-
list of Chicago.
Some politicians had called on
President Lincoln to urge the appoint
ment of some of their friends to no
sitions in certain department. By
way of refusal the president told the
following story
Gentlemen. the conditions in thar
department put ME in mind of the
time that a young friend and myself
tried to court the two daughters of a
peppery widow living near our homes.
The old lady kept lot of hounds.
We had not been in the house
long before one of the hounds came
into the room and lay down by the
fire. In little while another one
came to the door. He didn't get in.
for the old lady gave him kick.

"Get out of here, There's toa
many dogs in here nowr

Abraham Lincoln

Long have 1 thought of one great man to
sing.
Befittingy, but ever do I stay
My baffled wits and cast the song away
As bold presumption; yet would / bring
Some tribute worth-yet would / touch
one string
That should the fullness OF my heart es-
say;
One leaf on his high tomb my love would
lay
spring.
But how shall proclaim Eternity?
Or say. Behold the lustrous Pleiades?
My muse can only wonder and admire.
Sit back in awe. and. breathless, scan
the
OF Lincoln's soul in its sublimities-
And drop a hopeless hand upon the Tyre.

Voters Beware.

1t is deemed advisable at this
time to call attention to the ma tier
OF false and fraudulent circulars in
the last days of the campaign.
Because in at least two recent cam
paigns such circulars were resorted
to to prejudice the minds of hon
est voters against democratic can
didates, when too late to be an
swered.
The attempt made three years
ago against the democratic candi-
date for Probate Judge by the use
OF certain "Yellow Circplars'' at a
date supposed to be too late to be
answered, was in part offset only
after the most vigorous efforts and
therefore in measure failed of
its purpose.

use OF these late date circulars in |
an attempt to damage the demo-
cratic candidates for Office
but failed IN q measure to accom-.
plish their purpose because oil the
