THE HANDY MAN.

His Job Of Vanishing the Door Was
Not HowIing Success.
Mr.. Brewster thought his front door
looked as though a coat Of varnish
would do it no harm and resolved to
do it himself to save the expense Of a
painter.
Finding an old golden strip" tin in
the yard. he went off to the shop for
some best oak varnish." He placed
it in the pantry for the night and was
up early next morning and by half
past II had got the door finished.
81 don't like it now it's DONE" he
said to his wife.
Its bad varnish," replied she.
He's sold you the wrong sort OF
stuff"
He thought so. too. and went back
TO the shop. taking what was left with
him.
This is funny varniSh you sold me, v
said he. Its duh. sticky stuff"
After examining it the shopman said

1t then dawned on him that he had
got hold of the wrong tin. and he
went back home to explain to hi;
wife. who at once said: Good gra

MADDENED THE BEAR.
Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Used by the Mexieans.

Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Used by the Mexieans.
The Medcans in California had an
ingenious method Of trapping bears
before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion- A piece Of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb Of an oak
tree. From a limb five or six feet
above a rope was suspended. to the
end Of which large stone was made
fast so that it hung about six inches
above and a tribe nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When a bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait In doing
so he would push the stone pendulum
to one side Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger Of the
bear. and he would give the stone a
sweep of his paw which would send
It swinging farther out The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger The more,he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit in return.
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep. then bang. and bruin would be
tumbled out Of the tree to the rocks
below. where. disabled by his fall, he
would be at the mercy of those who
set the trap whenever they chose to
take him

pared for the crisis. The president
had already announced by word and
deed that his sole purpose in making
war on the south was to save the I'm
ion, notably just one month before the
proclamation.
On Aug. % President Lincoln wrote
to Horace Greeley his famous declara-
ton on slavery. as follows: MY para
mount object In the struggle is to save
the Union and not either to save or de-
stroy slavery. If could save the Union
without freeing any slave l would do
1t. and II l could save 1t by freeing all
the slaves 1 would do it, and If l could
save it by freeing some and leaving
others alone l would do that"
That doctrine was reiterated at the
head Of the proclamation as the key
note to the whole. Freedom would
follow the flag when it advanced into
Confederate territory, and the nag
would continue to protect slavery
wherever 1t legally existed in the loyal
states. This changed the aspect from
that OF q call TO an abolition crusade
10 that of forging a new weapon
against the south. The armies gener-
ally so regarded it-a military expedi'
ent to hasten the end Of the war.

red at Louis vile, Ky, one Of the most
lamentable tragedies Of the conflict on
the northern side. General William
Nelson, who had been intrusted with
the defense Of the city against General
Bragg's Confederate force, which was
then moving unopposed toward that
point, was shot dead by a fellow off
Ger. This deed aggravated the confu
sion which for some days had been
like that existing in Washington after
the battles at Bull Run.
The facts in relation to the killing Of
General William Nelson by Genera
