Lincoln as a Lawyer.

A leader of the Lincoln party told
the other day in Philadelphia story
of the astuteness of Lincoln as a
lawyer.
when Lincoln was practising law
he said "he had case involving a
disputed will The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof of this. For
Lincoln, who had to prove the will
forgery, things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness, retired paper manufacture
er, renowned the country over for
his wealth and probity.
Mr.. Dash Lincoln said to this
witness, handing him the disputed
will, please hold that paper up to
the light and tell us what is the water
mark on it,
1.-The water mark of my own firm,
Blank & Co. the witness answered.
When did your firm begin to
manufacture paper?'

PLOTTING A REVOLUTION.
Letter Found on Mexican Arrested
at Douglas Arizona.
1t Was Dated in Canada and Gave
Particulars Regarding the Plans
Date Not Yet Certain.

Ell Paso, Tex, Sept. IA letter
found on the person of Bruno Trevino,
one of the men arrested as Mexican
revolutionists on the Arizona border,
dated Toronto, Ont, and signed r.
Flores Magood, head of the Mexican
revolutionary junta, instructs Ire
vino when he has one hundred men
willing to fight to attack the Nogales
custom house, take arms and then
proceed to interior towns, and gather
recruits. The letter says:
Let Cananea alone for the present.
Take Nogales first
The writer cautions Trevino against
acting too soon and says:
I'VE cannot yet fix the day on which
the uprising takes place, because We
must arm ourselves. There are forty
revolutionary centers throughout the
country resolved to rise up in arms,
but not all possess sufficient arms.
The junta is working to secure funds
for the revolution. There are persons
who could loan money with which to
buy arms. If they do it the junta will
issue the necessary receipts, which
will be recognized on triumph of the
revolution to be repaid. In this man.
ner it will be easier to secure money.
We have to be careful to make the
least noise possible so as not to have
the government constantly fore
warned. There are some who would
at once throw themselves. on the des-
pots. This would occasion nothing
but decentralization and panic. We
must act when we have the probable
ity of success. Above all the move
ment does not lag, but it will not be
on the 10th of September, as certain
papers have made it >guessingly APP
pear. The day on which the rising
will take place cannot be named.
This depends on the various groups,
or the majority of them being ready"

We are wont to speak of this era
as the "age of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that. industrially speaking,
iron Is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, If not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other. kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty = inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead OF
course, there are many limitations OF
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name Of ready-pre;~a
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are lust as good as
white lead But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used In the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
Red lead" is another product OF
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products OF
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, ETC., which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as we'll as of iron.
