LINCOLN IN DEBATE.
Clash with Douglas Described In Gen.
Lew WaIIaee's Autobiography.

Lew WalIaee's Autobiography.
Among the recollections which make
up the autobiography of Gen. Lew
Wallace is a description of one OF the
great Lincoln and Douglas debates to
which Gen. Wallace listened, strongly
prepossessed in favor of Douglas at the
beginning, but overcome by the magic
of Lincoln's oratory. He describes Mr..
Lincoln in his ill-fitring clothes. the thin
neck craned over the sweat-wilted collar,
the smile on his lips, the world of kind
ness in his eyes:
Mr.. Lincoln arose. Strengthened him
self as we'll as he could. But for the be-
nignant eyes, a more unattractive man
l had never seen thus the centre of regard
by so many people. His voice was clear
without being strong. He was easy and
perfectly lf-possessed, the great audi
ence received in utter silence and the
July sun beat mercilessly upon his bare
head.
Il confess that 1 inwardly laughed at
him; only the laugh was quite as much
at the political manager who had led
him out against Mr.. Douglas. Never
uheless I gave him attention. Ten min
uIes-I quit laughing. He was getting
hold of me. The pleasantly, the sincerity,
the confidence, the amazingly original
way OF putting things, and the simple,
uiHeSuaiheu manner Withal, were dolng
their perfect work; and then and there /
dropped an old theory that to be a speaker
one must needs be graceful and handsome.
Twenty minutes-I was listening breath
lessly, and with scarcely defined fear.
Thirty minutes-the house divided
against itself was looming up more than
figure of speech. My God, could It be
prophetic! An hour-the limit OF the
speech. Mr.. Lincoln took his seat. How
many souls sat down with him-that Is,
how many of the unbelieving like my
self were converted to his thinking
could not know"

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word dyspep-

fair for many to lay the blame on the cook
il they begin the Christmas dinner with little
appetite and end il with distress or nausea
II NAV not be fair for any 10 do that-but
let us hope SO for the sake of the cook The
disease dyspepsia indicates bad stomach,
that is weak stomach, rather than bad
cook and for a weak stomach there is moth
ing else equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla 1t gives
the stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia,
creates appetite, and makes eating the pleas

Boston & Maine VIII Control Big Water
Power In Conway.

There is much speculation as to the
use which will be made of about 100 acres
of land Just bought by the Boston &
Maine railroad in Conway. A petition was
recently filed with the secretary of state,
asking for legislation so that the property
of the Conway street railway may be
sold to the Boston & Maine. II the legis-
lation is permitted, with the 100 acres just
bought OF seven persons, the Boston q
Maine will then control the whole south
rive. from, the Deerfeld river to Conway
village. with the exception OF two small
water powers already used. This would
give about 1000 horse power. The pur-
chase includes land where a reservoir
with a capacity Of 100000 gallons could
be erected. At another place iand on
both sides OF the Deerfield is included in
the purchase, where there is another
water power. There is no authentic IN
formation obtainable about the use thai
will be made OF the property.
