LINCOLN FIRST MEETING STANTON.

t——_

Intbe summer of 1857 Mr. Lincoln
made his first visit to Cincinnati. He
was original counsel for the defendant in
a patent reaping suit pending in the
United Stilton Circuit Court for Northern
Illinois. The argument of the case was

,adjourned to Cincinnati, the home of
Juan‘MoIleau, at his suggestion and for
.his accommodation. Mr. Lincoln came
to the city a few days before the argu-
ment took place, and remained during
his stay at the house of .a friend. The
case was one of large importance pecun-
iarly and in the law questions involved.
Reverdy Johnson represented the plain-
tifi'. Mr. Lincoln had prepared himself

with the greatest care ; his ambition was '

up to speakin the case, and to measure

swords with‘the renowned lawyer from

Baltimore. It was understood between

his client and himself before his coming

that Mr. Harding, of Philadelphia, was
tobeassociated with him in the case,
and 'was to make the “mechanical argu-
ment.” Mr. Lincoln 'was a little sur-
prised and annoyed, after reaching here,
to learn that his client had also associated
with him Mr. Edwin M. Stanton, of

Pittsburg, and a lawyer of our own Bar,

the reason assigned being that the im-

portance of the case required a man of

the experience and power of Mr. Stanton
"to meet Mr. Johnson. The Cincinnati
lawyer was appointed “for his local in-
fluence." These reasons did not remove
the slight conveyed in the employment,
without consultation with him. of his ad-
ditional counsel. Bekeenly felt it, but
acquiesced The trialvof'the case came
' 0n {the counsel-for ’, defense met each
morning for consultation. On one of
these occasions-one of the counsel moved
that only two of them should speak in
the case. This motion wasacquiescedin.

It had always been understood that Mr.

Harding was to speak to explain the me;

precedence. Mr. Stanton suggested to
Mr. ’Lincolnto makoltheispeech, Mr.
Lincoln answered, "‘ No; do you speak. ”
Mr. Stanton promptly replied, “I will,"
and. taking up his hat 'said'he would go
andmake preparation. Mr. _ Lincoln 'acl
quiesced in this, but was deeply grieved
and mortified; he took but little more
interostin the case, though. remaining
until the conclusion of the trial. He
seemed to be greatly depressed, and gave
evidence of that tendency to melancholy
whichlso,.marked, his' character, His
parting on leaving the city cannot be'
forgotten; Cordially shaking the hand
of his hostess, herald: “You have made
my stay here what agreeable, and I am a
thousand times obliged to you; but in
replyto your request for me to come
again I must say to you I never expect
to be in Cincinnati again. I have noth-
ing against thocity, but things have so
happened here as to make it undesirable
for me ever to return here. " Thus un-
towardly met the first time Mr. Lincoln
and Mr. Stanton. Little did either then
suspect that they were to meet again on
a larger theatre, to\become the chiefact-
are in a great historical epoch.
DISTILLING ARAB or nosns.

“ Genuine attar of roses.” remarked a
new York chemist, “which is made in
India and Australia costs $100 an ounce
at the places of distillation. It take 50,-
000 rose blooms to yield an ounce of atn‘,
tar. They are the common roses, and
grow in great profusion in California,
where the distillation of utter could be
made a very profitable industry. I have
seen hedge rows near Samona. in that
State, so dense with these roses that the
odor from them on a warm, sultry day
caused a feeling of peculiar faintness and
oppreuion in the passer by. This is the
effect of the utter that is distilled by the
heat and moist air, and is held suspended.
asit were, in the atmosphere. “There
is money in that cause of faintncss and
indolenoe, butin this country not only
the sweetness, but the great value of the
flowers, is wasted on the desert air. In
northern India the roses are regularly
cultivated. They are planted in rows in
fields, and require no particular care.
When they 'bsgin to bloom they are
picked before midday. The work is
done by women and children, who seem
toregarditmore as a pleasure_than a
pursuit of m. The rose leaves are
distilled in twice their weight of, water,
which is drawn off into“, 'n vessels,
Thesearc allowed to stand over night,
being covered up with cloths tokcgp out

water is coated with a thin oily film,

ues daily until the bushesceaseto bloom.
So it may well be imagined that any es-
sence or oil that requires the distilling of

right to have a good price set upon it."

 

THE 'rnonsaxn IsLANDs.
Ailypsrson who has traveled, fully ap-
preciates the pleasure of a steamboat after
a hot and dusty railway journey, and
when one reaches the shores of the great
St. Lawrence and escapes from the rattle
and confusion of rail to the quiet and
coolness of the water there seems noth-
ing left to be desired. The only wish is
that the boat may glide on fOrever and
that no interruption may take place to
disturb the dreamy pcacefulness. But as
the steamer throbs steadily on her way,
she enters upon a scene of beauty that
arouses the traveler from hislistlessness
and makes him'exert himself to look; and, .
looking to wonder what new scene of en-
chantmant the next revolution of the
wheels will spread before him. Island
after island sweeps by in majestic pro-
cession, their bosky sides mirrored in the
swiftly flowing emerald waters; myriads
of fairy craft fiit about like phantoms on
the river's surface, while light laughter
and joyous music drive thought away,
and a. sense of peace and quiet stsfls over
the toil-worn wayfarer. As evening
comes on, the lights twinkle from the
numerous cottages that lie ombowered in
their frames of foliage, until presently
sweeping around an island that has in-
tsrcepted the view the glitter of the
Thousand Island House comes in sight.

GAMBLING IN WASHINGTON.

Pendleton’s gambling house was one of
the sights of Washington before the war.
The entrance was through a narrow,
lighted hallway, opening from the avenue
near the National Hotel. A pair of stairs
at the further end of the hall were closed
half way up bya door fastened on the
inside. ' A lattice was opened on the ring-
ing of a bell, and a colored man scruti-
nized the new corners to see if‘ all was
right. If there was no apparent objec-
tion the door was opened and the visitors
proceeded up stairs, where there was a
large front parlor, elegantly furnished.
with a centre-table on which were the
leading newspapers and magazines of the
country. Around it one generally found
several gentlemen, some of them mem-
bers of Congress, reading and discussing
the news of the day. The back parlor
was more luxuriously furnished, and at
one end, in a massive gilt frame, was a
life-like picture of a huge, crouching

apparently ready for a spring upon his
unsuspecting victim. Beneath this pic-
ture was a table, on which was the lay-
out of a fare bank. In a box were piles
of bank bills and gold pieces of different
denominations and in another ‘box were
the “chips," circular pieces of ivory,
inscribed “$1," “$5,” “$25 "and “$250,"
which were purchased by players as a
matter of convenience and redeemed by
the banker at the end of each game.
There was also a supper-room, where a
free supper was served everynight. The
cock was the be'st in Washington and at
Pendleton’s those who did not fancy the
poor fare at the hotels and the worse eat-
ing at the private boarding-houses could
feast on tugtle-soup, ,oysters, terrilpin,
canvas-back ducks and vension. The
best 'of wines and liquors were also sup-
plied. Mr. Pendleton belonged to an old
Virginiafamily and his wife, who lived
on Capitol Hill, went in the best society.
After his death President Buchanan at-
tended his funeral. . ‘

W
A ‘nnaranxannn PLANT.
Anise growswild in Egypt, ill Syria,
Palestine and all parts of the Levant, but
the Romans considered the Egyptian and
Cretan anise to be the best, especially for
medicinal purposes. The product of
Southern Europe is now looked upon
with favor. Among the ancients anise
seems to have been a common pot-herb
in every- garden. Although it is less used
in medicine by the modems than by the
ancients, it still retains its former reputa-
tion as an excellent stomachic, particularly
for delicate women and young children.
The Romans chewed it ill order to keep
up an agreeable 'moisture in the mouth,
and to sweeten the breath, while some
Orientals still do the same. Some of the
Persian poets have sung‘the agreeable
qualities of the anise, and a modern sweet
ballad of Rome compares the slender
grace of a young girl to the anise. Anise
is an annual plant growing to the height
of one'foot, carries a white flower, and
blooms from June till August. The
seeds are imported and used in large
quantities on account of their aromatic
and car-minative properties. The distilled
plant, when uwd in blossom, yields a
sweeter and more grateful tincture than

,can be Obtained from the seeds. Anise is

extensively employed by the confectioner
for the purpose of flavoring comfits and
col-dials, The anise seed cordial of the
shops is a compound of alcohol, , anise
seed and angelica. The oil is obtained
by distillation from the seeds, and though
habitually mixed with a great many cattle
medicines, and regarded by the farmers
of former generations as one of the most
potent drugs, it performs scarcely any
other office than the communicating of
an agreeable fragrance. The Chinese
cultivate it for the seasoning of dishes;
and the Japanese employ bundles and
garlands of it in the ceremonies of their
heathenish superstition. Its appearance,
when out of flower, as well as when in
bloom, 'is decidedly ornamental.

 

WHAT'S IN A SNEEZE?

There is a singular custom prevalent in
Norway and Sweden of crying, “ God
bless you !" when a. person sneezes. It
is an old notion that a sneeze is a good or
bad omen. A sneeze heard from the
right was an auspicious omen; if heard
from the left, it was an evil one. Plu-’
torch, in his life of Themistccles, says
that before a naval battle a sneeze was a
sign of conquest. It would have been
well for an ambitiousadmiral to order for
his ofilccrs and men, on the morning of
the engagement, an extra ration of snuff.
When the king of Menomotapa, located
in Eastern Africa, 'sneezes, the whole
courtis thrown into confusion. Those
nearest his Majesty salute him with a
benediction, the attendants in the adjoin-
ing rooms repeat its-with a loud voice,
thou outsidethc palace take up the solu-
tation, and from them it is communicated
to the city. Two minutes after the ma-
jestic nose sneezes, the entire city is yell-
ing, “Heaven bless his Majesty!" The
Jewish rabbis explain the custom which
associates a sneeze with a salute by say-
ing that before J acob’s time men never
sneezed but once and that killed them.
Jacob was the first man to die a natural
death. To preserve the memory of this
sad fact, the princes of all nations ordered
their subjects to use some exclamation
after sneezing. The Catholics attribute
its origin to the ordinance of a pope, St.
Gregory. He instituted a benediction to
be used when one sneezed, because the
crisis of a disease was attended by_sneez-'
ing, and then inmostcases death followed

 

m SOAP CAPER-

A very successful swindle, operated by
street peddlers, is what is technicdly
known as the “soap caper.” Any com-
mon soap will wash the dust out of a
grease spot, and a-person is apt to come
to the conclusion'that the stain itself has
been taken out, until more dust coon ~
ulatss on the grease and he finds himse
mistaken. For the purposes of thc‘swin-
(118 two fellows will buy a lot of cheap
soap and cut it up into small pieces,
which are daintily perfumed and nicely
wrapped in fancy colored paper. This is
all the stock in trade needed, except a
generous allowance of cheek. One of
the fellows dresses himself up likes. dude
and generally conducts himself so that
everybody to whom he appeals makes
fun of him. Perhaps he does sell a few
pieces of the soap, for it appears to do
what is claimed for it, but he purposely
makes such an ass of himselfthat nobody
wants to trade with him. Soon, when he
is boasting of how much soap he can sell
in a day, a common-looking fellow in the,
crcwd calls out :' “ Well, why don't you
sellit then 2" and at once they get into a
wrangle, which is ended by the plain
fellow betting that he can sell more soap
in ten minutes than the proprietor of the
stand can sell in half an hour. The bet
is generally quite a large one. and as
sympathy ispntfrely with the common-‘
looking fello'W‘tlio d gnomes to his
support and he ‘ y sells out his share
ofthescapand finally also disposes of
the greater part of the other’s packages.
It is almost needless to say that the fol-
lows are confederates and are playmg
into each other's hands. Two good oper-

too, the endeavors which in England con-
tinued through 500 years to stop forestal-
ling, and which in 'France, as Arthur
Young witnessed, prevented any one
from buying “more than two bushels of
wheat at market,” went on generation
liter generation incredng the miseries
and mortality,due to earth ; for, as every-
body now knows the wholesale dealer,
who was in the statute “De Pistoribus"
vituperatcd as “an open oppressor of
poor people," is simply one whose func-
tion is to eqalize the supply of a com-
modity by checking unduly rapid con-
sumption. Of kindred nature was the
measure which, in 1315, to diminish the
pressure of famine, prescribed the prices
of food, but which was hastily repealed
after it had, caused entire disappearance
of various foods from the markets; and
also such measures, more continuously
operating, as those which settled by mag-
isterial order “ the reasonable gains ” of
victualers. Of like spirit and followed by
allied mischiefs have been the many on-
deavors to fix wages, which began with
the statute of laborers under Edward 111.,
and ceased only sixty years ago; when
having long galvanized in Spitalfields a
decaying industry, and fostered there a
miserable population, Lords and Com-
mons finally gave up fixing silk-weavers"
earnings by magistprial order. Hero I
imagine an impatient interruption. “We
know all that; the story is stale. Th;
mischiefs of interfering with trade have
been dinned in our cars till we are weary;
and no one needs to be taught the lesson
afresh." My first reply is that by the
great majority the lesson was. never prop-
erly learned at all, and that many of those
who did learn it have forgotten it. For
just the same pleas which of old were put
in for these dictations, are again put in.
In the statute 35 Edward 111., which
aimed to keep down theprice of herrings,
(but was soon repealed because it raised
the price,) it was complained that people
“coming to the fair " ' ‘ ‘ (10 bar-
gain for herring, and story one of them,
by malice and envy, increase upon other,
and, if one proffer 408., another will prof-
fer 105. more, and the third 005., and so
every one surmdunteth other in the bar-
gain.” And now the “higgling of the
market ” here condemned and ascribed to
“malice and envy," is being again con-
demned. The evils of conipetition have
all along been the stock cry of the'Social-
fats; and the council of the Democratic
Federation denounces the carrying on of
exchange under “ the control of individ-
ual greed and profit. "

 

THE ORIGIN on DIXIE.
On a Saturday night in 1859, when
Dan Emmett was a member of Bryant’s
Minstrels, New York, Dan Bryant came
to him and said : “Dan, can't you get us
up a ‘walk around 2’ I want something
new and lively for Monday night.” Dan
went to work, and by Sunday afternoon
he had the words commencing “I wish
I was in Dixie.” This expression was
not Southern, but appeared among the
circus people of the North. ,In earlyfall,
when nipping frosts would overtake the
tented wander-ere, the boys would think
of the warmth of the South, and the com-
mon expression would be, “ Well I wish
Iwasin Dixie." This gave the catch-
line, and the rest of the. song was origi-
nal. On Monday morning it was re-
hearsed and highly commended, and at
night a crowded house caught up the
refrain and half of them went home sing-
ing Dixie. The song became the rage,
and W. W. Newcomb’s, Buckley’s Min-
strels and others gave Dan $5 each for
the privilege of using it. Mr. Werlcan
wrote to Emmett to securothe copyright;
but, without waiting for a reply, pub-'
lished it with words by a Mr. Peters.~
Pond of New York seemed it from Em-
mett for $600; but Werlean sold thous-
ands of copies without giving him a
nickel. Not only was Emmett robbed of
the profits of his song; but the author-
ship of it was disputed. Will 8. Hayes
claimed it as his own. Pond brought the
matter before a music publishers’ conven-
tion, and settled the authorship; but
Dan reaped no benefit from this tardy
justice.

ALLIGATOR HUNTING.

Alligator hunting has now become one
of the regular pcoupations of many of the
professional sportsmen of the South.
About fifteen years a o the attempt was
made to introduce tor-skin leather
into the northern markets, but native
farmers were unskilled, and it was not
until the eastern tanned-lea took the plan
inhandthatitwas‘madesuccessfnl. Al-
ligators are taken in larger numbers ‘by
craft than by skillful shooting. They
are fished fer, and the following graphic
description of the method is given:
Fresh pork is the usual bait, ofwhich tho
reptiles are fender, even, than of the tra-
ditional dog or colored baby. Alligator
hunters, who are paid according to the
number and size of their game, go to some

to shouting-island in the Everglades of
main motion equipped with boatloads
of bait and fishing tackle, and having
planted their lines and firmly secured
them to iron pins, driven deeply into the
sandy soil during the sultry afternoon,
when the alligators are sleeping in the
slime, they quietly retire and wait until
the moon rises or day breaks, when they
generally find plenty to do. On their
return they witness a lively scene, if any
'gators have been hooked. It is a pecu-
liarity of the reptiles to make unceasing
efforts to escape when they find them-
selves fsst, and they perform aquatic an-
tics that would put a sea-lion to the blush,
churning the water with their powerful
tails, prancing and‘ leaping, sometimes
entirely out of the water, turning over
and over, diving and tugging and snap-
ping their horrid jaws upon the chains
which guard the first few feet cfthelines.
The monsters utter frightful bellowings
all the while, until the air fairly trembles
with the sound. A strong and sickening
odor of musk is emitted by them in their
anger, and it requires a strong stomach
and stout nerves to withstand subsequent
proceedings. Approaching the lines, the
men haul the alligators inshore by main
strength, and pull _ them out on dry
ground, where an executioner. armed
withastoutfiail and akeen knife mt-
ened at the end of a pole, stands ready to
make an end of the struggle. A couple
of hard thwacks with the fiail across the
switching tail of the victim, and a deep
stab in the tender throat, soon and his
life. This persistenthunting is. of course.
thinning out the ranks of the alligators, »
but no one seems to regret their depart-
ure. The skins are now worth about $10
to the hunters, but the price will doubt-
less advance as the mighty Sauriausnears
extinction.

 

If any man'ofiendnot in word. the same

Century after century statesmen went
on enacting usurylaws which made worse
the condition of tho debtor-raising the

man CABS as Missronamns.
“ When the question of introducing

street cars in India first came up, n y
twenty years ago, " said John Stephenson,
the famous car builder," one of the great-
est obstacles to be considered was caste.
It was easy to devise a method of separ-
ating, within reasonable limits, the vari-
ous classes, for the cars could be made
with two interior compartments, and
with seats on top for passengers of infor-
ior classes. But how to collect the fares
was the question that puzzled everybody.
A Brahman conductor could not receive
coins from the hands of hisinferiors, nor
could a Brahman passenger receive change
from a conductor of- lower caste. There
were many other regulations growing
- out of caste distinctions which threatened
to make street cars a failure in the cities
of India. But the cars were sent out.
and matters were left largely to adjust
themselves. The result is that instead of
caste making the street cars a failure, the
street cars have made caste to a consider-
able extent a failure. They are now util-
ized in the principal cities of India very
much as they are in New York. Besides
doing away with costs obstacles to their
success, the street cars have removed
many of the restrictions which caste put
upon the transaction of business gener-
ally in that country. I am told that they
have produced a very" noticeable change
in this respect—that they may be regard-
ed, indeed, as among the chief instru-,
ments with which the changed order of
things was brought about. Street cars
are a. necessity, and whatever stands in
the way of their use will be done away
with by the people." When the British
Government made it impossible to en-
force forfeitures and. other penalties by
reason of the loss or renunciation of casts,
a considemble step toward the abolition
of caste distinctions was taken. No laws
for the government of persons have been
more rigid or more speedy in respect to
their penalties than were the regulations,
of mate. In certain provinces of India,
when under native rule, it was regarded
as justifiable homicide for a man of high.
caste to strike dead any person'of manor?
caste who should touch him even by acci-
dent. One of the steps toward the pres-
ent state of things was permitting a
Brahman to engage in pursuits which
had been followed only by persons of in-
ferior grade, while still prohibiting per-
sons of low caste from taking upon them-
selves functions which belonged to those
above them in rank. In the present
stage of the decay of caste very embar-
rassing conditions arise. Not long ago a
loan of good ability, but of inferior caste,
was made a Judge. He could sitin judg-
ment upon the acts of Brahmans and
even sentence them to impriynment, but
he could not sit at the table with them
after quitting the court room.

 

now A BEAR-ADMIRAL WAs MADE
One morning, when the Duke of Clar-
ence, having received his commission and
his ship, was on his way to his tailcr's in
Plymouth, to get the new uniform, at a
street corner he saw a boy crying, and
stopped to inquire the cause. The lad
looked up through his tears, revealing a
handsome, winning and intelligent face,

and replied that his mother had diedonly
a few days before, and that he had been
cast homeless into the streets. “ Where
is your father ?” asked. the Prince. “ He
was lost in the Sussex, on the Cornwall

coast, two years ago. " “ How woulflyou

like to go to sea in a first-rate man-of-

war ?” The boy's face brightened as he

answered that he should like it very well.

The Prince took out his pocket-book and

wrote something upon a slip of paper,

which he gave to the boy, with a shilling.

“ Go down to the docks," he said, “and

with this shilling you will hire a. boatlnan

to carry you off to 'the Pegasus. When

you get on board the ship you will give

this paper to the officer whom you find

in charge of the deck, and he will take

care of you. Cheer up. my lad! Show

me that you have a true heart, and you

shall surely find a true friend." Arrived
on board the Pegasus, the officer of the

deck received him kindly, and sent him

to sit upon a‘ gun-carriage, under the
break of the poop. In less thannn hour

the Prince came off in his new uniform,

and the boy was strangely moved upon

discovering that the man who had prom.
ised to be his friend was none other than

William, Duke of Clarence, and Captain

of the frigate. The boy, whose name was

Albert Doyer, was 'taken into'the cabin,

where the Prince questioned him, and

forthwith he ordered him to be rated as

a. midshipman, and from his own purse

he procured him an outfit. During the
voyage to the American coast the Prince

became strongly attached to' his youth-’
i'nl protege, keeping him about his per-

son continually, and instructing him in

general branches of education, as well as
in his profession. Time passed on and
the boy grew to be a man, serving King
and country faithfully. In time William
became King, and signed the commission

which made Albert Doyer a Rear-Ad-
miral. He exclaimed, as he put his sig-
nature to the document : “ There—if I
have ever done a good deed for England,

it was when I saved to her service that
true and worth! man i"

Tarn wonlvn -

In one of the tropical provmces of Germany
there has been found a root, the extract from
which has proved an absolute specific for Tape
Worm.

It is pleasant to take and is not debilitating or
disagreeable in its effect on the patient, but is ,
culiarly sickening and stupefyin' to the Tape

Worm, which loosens its hold on ts victim and
passes away in a natural and easy manner, entirely
whole, with HEAD and while still alive.

’ One physician hasusedthis remedy in over «loo
cases, without a single failure tqvpass worm whole,
with head. Absolute removal til head guaran-
teed. No pay required until so removed. Send '
stamp for circular and terms.
