LONG-HEADED LINCOLN.
An Anecdote Showing How He Looked
Into the Future. _
Perhaps no anecdote ever told of Mr.
Lincoln illustrates more forcibly his
“long—headedness” in laying plans, not
even that incident when he asked the
“Jedge” a question in his debate with
Mr. Douglas, which may be told as
follows:
. One afternoon during that join-t de-
bate Mr. Lincoln was sitting with his
friends, planning the programme,
when he was observed to go off in a
kind of reverie, and for some time ap-
peared totally oblivious to everything
around him. Then, slowly bringing
' his right hand up, holding it a moment
in the air, and then let-ting it fall with
'a quick slap upon his thigh, he said:
“There I’m going to ask the ‘Jedge’
(he always called him ‘the, Jedge’) a.
question to-night, and I don’t care the
ghost of a continental which way he
answers it. If he answers it one way
it will lose him the Senatorship. If he
answers it the other way, it will lose
him the Presidency.”
No one asked him what the question
was; but that evening it was the turn
for Mr. Douglas to speak first, and
right in the midst of his address, all
at once Mr. Lincoln roused up, as if a
new thought had suddenly struck him,
and said:
“Jedge, will you allow me to ask you
(one question?"
“Certainly,” says Mr. Douglas.
“Suppose, Jedge, there was a new
town or colony just started in some
Western territory; and suppose there
were precisely 100 house-holders—
voters—there; and suppose, Jedge,
that ninety-nine did not want slavery,
and one did. What would be done
about it?”
Judge Douglas heat about the bush,
but failed to give a direct answer.
“No, no, Jedge; that won’t do. Tell
us plainly what will be done about it?”
Again Douglas tried to evade; but
Lincoln would not be put off, and he
insisted that a direct answer should
be given At last Douglas admitted
that the majority would have their
way, by some means or other.
Mr. Lincoln said no more. Douglas
had answered the question as Illinois
people would have answered it, and
he got the Senatorship. But that an-
swer was not satisfactory to the peo-
ple of the South.’ In 1860 the Charles-
ton convention split in two factions,
and “it lost him the Presidency,” and
it made Abraham Lincoln President.

HOW A SPIDER DISAPPEARS. i
A Wiley Little Creature That Understands
the Science of Revolution. .
On the borders of the Everglades
you often see a large yellow spider.
He swings a strong web from two pliv
ant twigs on each side at a. path of
clear space of ground and waits for his
prey. The web is in the shape of a
hammock, and tapers at each end to a
fine point; though quite broad ,in the
middle. The bright color of the own.
er seems to mark him out for destruc-
tion—he is clearly defined against the
white sand or dead leaves, and you
wonder what he would do for defense
in case of attack. Approach quietly
and he watches you intently. Now
raise your hand suddenly and he will
disappear. While you are wondering
what-became of him you secfirst a' blur
where he had been, then several spid-
ers, then you catch sight again of the
yellow ball you noticed at first. Re-
peat the performance and the stage
.effect isrrenewed. The disappearance
is absolute-there can be no doubt
about it, and the little magician trusts
to it entirely for his protection. How
is it done? As soon as he is threaten-
ed he starts the vibrations of his airy
hammock; these become too rapid
for the eye to follow, and he vanishes.
As these become slower you see a blur,
and then several spiders as the eyes
catches him at different points of his
swing, until finally he rests before

A_Locomotive’s Health.
Locomotives, like human beings,
have their ailments, many of which
defy the skill of those deputed to look
after them. We hear of tired razors,
a simple complaint which vanishes af-
ter a brief period of repose, but loco-
motives are apt to betray indisposition
even after a day’s rest and much oiling
of the various parts. Two good engines
may be madeon the most approved
principle. They may each cost—as those
of the London and Northwestern rail-
way- do—£2,200,-_-and yet onewill ex-
hibit from the first a .hardi'hood of
constitution altogether wanting in its
companion. A first-class locomotive,
of 300 horsepower, costing £2,000, is
expected to travel during its life 200,-
* 000 miles, or, say, 13,000 miles per an-
num for fifteen years; yet now and
than an engine is found so impervious
to the assaults of time as to be able
in its old age to do its daily work with
all the zest and'vigor of a youngster.

SELLS MICE FOR A LIVIN.
A Woman Whose Clients 'Inclnde Some of
. Europe’s Great Physicians.
Veril'y one half the world does not
know how the other half lives. Equal-
1y true is it that never before were
there so many curious ways of making
a. living as there are at present. There
have been physicians in Paris for sev-
eral centuries, but not until quite re-
cently did any of them think it neces-
sary to make a contract by the terms
of which they are to receive a certain
number of mice during the current
year. The general public was rather
surprised when it heard of. this con-
tract, for the reason that the physi-
cians, who act in this matter as a
committee of the Faculty of Medicine,
agree to pay a good price for the mice,
whereas there are many persons in
Paris who wouldnbe only too glad to
make the doctors a present of these
ravenous little animals. Physi-
cians, however, know what they are
about. They want- mice, but they
don’t want ordinary, everyday mice.
Only cultured, well fed, dainty mice
will suit them, and they‘have given
the con-tract to Mme. Alexandre, be-
cause they know that she is the only
person in Paris who can supply on de-
mand any number of such desirable
animals.
Yes, Mme. Alexandre’s business in
life is to furnish mice to Richet,
ing specialists in Paris and elsewhere.
pigs, but. mice are her specialty. It
is fifteen years sinCe she first began
to supply animals to the Pasteur In-
stitute, the Municipal Laboratory and
several other such places. She has
hardly any competitors, and she has
more orders than she can well fill.
She feeds her mice exclusively on
bread and milk. Her clients insist
that the animals mus-t be white and
plump, and she finds this diet the best
for them. When they are three months
old they are ready for the doctors,
and she seldom has any on hand after
that age. She diSposes of these hap-
less victims, not only to her regular
clients in Paris, but also to several
persons in London and Geneva. The
little mice are well able to stand a
long journey, and they are as fresh
when they arrive in London as they
were when they left Paris.
Madam is never Short of mice. At
present she has about a thousand on
hand, and as these animals multiply
very rapidly she will have double that
number in an incredibly short time—-

ANGORA GOATS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Profitable Flocks of Then'm Raised in Capo
Colony.
One of the most lucrative industries
in the Karoo districts of South Africa
is Angora goat farming, and, although
it has only been established for less
than forty years, the Cape bids fair to
become the most important centre of
mohair production in the world. The
early attempts to import this goat from
Angora were attended with great loss
of money and great disappointment,
nearly all the goats dying either on the
way to the Cape or very soon after
landing, in fact, of’the early importa-
tions only a very small number sur-
vived. But in 1879, a large importation
was successfully made by three differ-
ent firms or individuals, who landed a
large number of pure-bred Angora
goats at Port Elizabeth.
The Angora in the colony is not now
pure-bred; the original imported rams
were crossed with carefully selected
pure white Boer goat ewes, and from
the succeeding in-breeding the present
flocks have sprung, and a fine glossy,
silky fleece secured. Indeed, it is ac-
cepted that mohair can now be pro-
duced in Cape Colony asperfect in
quality and as beautiful in lustre as
any produced in Angora itself.
The goat itself is a. pretty-looking
little animal, looking, with its long
white wavy fleece, more like-a sheep
than a goat. The beard, too, so char-
acteristic of the goat, is almost hidden
in the long hair about the neck and
face. The head is small and narrow,
with drooping or “lop” ears. The
small body is thickly covered with a
beautiful long fleece of white, lustrous,
wavy, silky hair, which in well-bred
goats nearly reaches the ground; and,
in addition to this long hair, there is
an inferior undercoat of hair, or sec-
ond coat, which has its own separate
market value—Black and White.

2 PIN. money, '
.—._____——-
(high: of the Term—Pine Were Sold at
lp‘irst Only TonDays a Year.
The ‘origin of the term pin money is
somewhat singular. \Long after the
invention of pins, in. the fourteenth
century, the maker was permitted to
sell them openly the lst and 2nd 01
January only, when the court and city
ladies crowded to the shops to buy
them, having been provided by their
fathers and husbands with money for
the purpose. After pins had become
plenty and cheap, women spent their
money for other things; but pin money
remained in vogue. ,
The opinion often expressed, that
pins were invented in France during
the reign of Francis I, and introduced
into England by Catherine Howard,
fifth wife of“ Henry VIII, is entirely
erroneous. -In 1347, two hundred years
before the death of Francis, 12,000 pins
were delivered from the English royal
wardrobe for the use of Princess Joan,
and fifty-three years later the Du-_
1e Bireconnier, a pinmaker of Paris,
several thousands of long and short
pins, besides 500 dozens of the English
fashion, showing that pins were not
only manufactured, but had gained a
wide reputation abroad. during the
reign of Henry IV. It is estimated
that hundreds of millions of pins are
used in the United States. What he-
comes of the pins is still a question
that remains unanswered and man-
swerable.——Philade1phia, Ledger.
DEMANDS ON A ROYAL PURSE.
Marie Antoinette’s 6,000 Livres a Month,
and Not a Crown at Her Own Disposal.
The minute difliculties and incon-
veniences which 'beset- the Princess in
her daily life would hardly be believed
but for the testimony of competent wit-
nesses. Mercy states in a letter to
Maria Theresa: “I must call atten-
tion to the fact that the Dauphine,
whose purse is nominally of six thou-
sand livres a month, has in- reality not
a single crown at her disposal. There
are scandalous abuses here as regards
money matters. The Dau’phine’s purse
is given into the care of her treasurer,
who keeps back two thousand, five
hundred livres every month for- pen-
sions granted by the late Queen, and
which have fallen on the Dauphine,
without her knowing anything about
them. Her garcons de chambre re-
ceive one hundred louis a’month for
the Dauphine’s card-playing. Whether
she wins or loses, no one sees anything
more of this money. The bedcham-
ber women take‘charge of all the re-
mainder, which is usually distributed
in gifts suggested by Madame de Noail-
les, with the forced consent of the
Dauphine, who thus keeps no money
at her own disposal. She is'certainly
not well dressed, but that is ithe fault
of the lady who has the charge of her
wardrobe. This lady pays little atten-
tion to it, and has not much taste.”—
Anna L. Bicknell in Century.
CHlCAGO LIBRARY UNIFORMS.
The Women are Fated to Wear One Color
and Dress Alike. ,
To adopt a costume of cadet gray, to
be worn all days, whether becoming
or unbecoming, is a dismal fate for the
women employed in the public library.
Cadet gray, though a pretty color, is
unsuitable to many complexions,
which will constitute a serious objec-
tion against the innovation. And it
never was intended that a woman
should confine'herself to one shade or
hue, in her gowns; the mono-tony of it
produces effects not to be classed as
imaginary. There are psychological
reasons why a"uniform is objectiona-
ble if the aesthetic ones are not suffi-
cient to convince those who have pass-
ed the arbitrary measure. To be sure,
birds and leopards can’t change their
features and spots, and still they man-
age to thrive; but every woman knoWs
the instantaneous and desirable ef-
fect on the mind'many times when a
different frock is substituted for one
that has grown all too familiar. A
color soon becomes distasteful if worn
constantly, especially without a dash
of something else to relieve it.—Chica-
go Posh .

lowly, and with the aid of a. strong
cane, an aged man made his way down
the gang plank of a French. liner, from
Havre the other day. He was Dr.
Thomas W. Evans, the most celebrated
dentist in Europe, a friend of Na.-
poleon III., and of Empress Eugenie.
American by birth, Dr. Evans re-
turned here for the first time in
twenty-one years.
Dr. Evans has done what no Ameri-
can can boast; he has treated and
filled the teeth of every ruler in
Europe, save only Queen Vivtoria. He
went to Paris in 1.846, and has resided
there ever, since.
His wealth is estimated at $35,000,-
000, besides a matter of $5,000,000 or
so which is invested in real estate on
Riverside drive in this city. He pur-
chased this property in 1876, when he
last visited this country.
It was during the reign of Napoleon
III. that Dr. Evans came into promi-
nence. He had succeeded in elevating
dentistry and in perfecting, methods
far in advance of that time. The
Emperor practically insured the doc-
tor’s future, for, hearing of his fame,
.he sought his skill.
A warm friendship sprang up be-
tween the Emperor and Dr. Evans. It
was through this that Dr. Evans was
enabled to accumulate wealth rapidly,
for to be the Emperor’s dentist meant
to be that of every member of the
court. .
Kaiser Wilhelm .I. of Germany,
sought his aid. The present Czar of
Russia, when a ,boy, also sat in the
doctor’s chair and had his teeth filled.
Napoleon’s friendship enabled the
shrewd American to make real estate
investments in Paris that rapidly
swelled his wealth. He now owns an
elaborate dfiice building and a magnifi-
cent residence On the Bois de Bou-
logne, besides many other valuable
properties in the French capital.
The Empress Eugenie was also his
patron, and when the French empire
tottere-d to its fall and she feared for
her life, Dr. Evans assisted her to es—
cape at night from the Chateau de
Pierrefonds. In his own carriage Dr.
Evans took the Empress to Calais,
and from there on board his yacht,
where she remained during the hor-
rors that followed in, France—New
York Journal.
THE GATE WAS TAKEN OFF.
\Vhat Lady‘llurton Couldn't Gel: by Ask-
ing She Obtained by Force. '
Summary measures may often be
taken when human motives conflict, if
only, at the same time, “mercy seasons
justice.” .
When Sir Richard Burton was Brit—
ish Consul at Damascus, his wife, Lady
Isabel, found that a large wooden gate,
in the garden next hers, swung con-
tinuously on its hinges, and that it
was keeping one of her guests, an Eng-
lish official, awake at night.
The garden belonged to an old wo-
man, and Lady Burton asked her to
have the gate fastened; but she sent
back word that it was impossible. It
had been broken for years, and she
had no money to repair it. So the
English lady took the law into her
own hands.
slept well, and at breakfast he asked
gratefully how she had managed about
the gate.
“If you look out of the window,”
said she, “you will see it in the court-
yard. I had it pulled down at sunset.”
He drew the long face of ofilcial re-
buke.
“011!” said he, “but you really must
not treat people like that! Suppose
they knew of these things at home?”
“Suppose they did,” echoed she,
laughing.
After her guest’s departure, she
ordered the gate to be mended and re-
placed at her own expense; and the
next time she went out, the little old
woman next door ran after her, cry-
mg:
“0 thou light of my :oyes, thou sun-
beam! Come and sit by the brook in
my garden, and honor me by drinking
coffee, and Allah grant that thou may-
est break something else of mine, and
live forever!"

Cbminunlcnnts of the P. E.‘ Church.
Bishop Ellison Capers, acting for
Bishop’Potter, who is now in England,
administered confirmation Sunday to
forty-three paupers on the New York
poor farm at Blackwell’s Island.
Those confirmed ranged .in age from
65 to 93 years. The Chapel of the
Good Shepherd, which is a branch of
the Protestant Episcopal City Mission
Society, was crowded to its utmost ca-
pacity with inmates of the Almshouse,
many of them so infirm and crippled
that they had to be assisted into the
chapel. Bishop Capers was assisted
by the Rev. Ralph Baldwin, the Rev.
B. Morgan, and the Rev. George F.
Nelson of the City Mission Society.
The confirmation class. consisted of
twenty-two men and twenty-one wo-
men, the oldest a man of 93 years. The
average age of the class was >79 years.
Never has this class been so large, and
never-has the age of the candidates been
so generally advanced. John Corning,
the oldest of those confirmed, had gone
through the ceremony twice before,
once in the Catholic church and again
in the Methodist. Since Corning has
been on Blackwell‘s Island he has be«
come greatly interested in the Episco-
pal service, and six months ago he-in-
formed the Island authorities that'h'e
could not see his way clear to heaven
unless he became a communicant of
the Episcopal church. 3
Corning was not content with this
determination, but concluded that he
could not be perfectly certain of salva-
tion until he had persuaded at least
one fellow inmate to join the Church,
James Ferguson, 89 years old, was a
warm friend of Corning, but. treated.
his intense religious views rather light—
Iy, Some time ago, so one of the Island
keepers says, Corning went to Fergu-
son and labored so successfully with
him that the latter became completely,
converted. Yesterday the two men,
whitc haired and bent, walked up the
aisle arm in arm and knelt before the
Bishop, who placed a hand on each
venerable head. and repeated the sol-
emn prayer of confirmation. . .
Among the women confirmed was
Mary Brady, 91 years old. Mary also
had been a member of anorlrer church,
but latterly she became interested in
the Episcopal service, and evinced a
desire to become a communicant.“
At the ward for incurables, also
called the “ward of sorrow,”. three
crippled inmates—two men and one
woman, were confirmed. Bishop Capers
manifested a deep feeling at this ser;
vice, and when the surpliced boy choir
sang “Nearer My God to Thee” at the
close, several of the bedridden were
moved to tears—New York sun.

the mob of lynchers had been able to
subdue the guards and break into the
prison, a militia company .frdm each of
the places named, or four companies in
all, had arrived'at Tiflfln, armed and

raging around the prison, toward
which the armed force hastened with
all possible speed, in accordance with
the Governor’s orders. They were
commanded by an experienced and de-
termined officer, who-had been Select-
