HE STUDIED LINCOLN. HENRY WATTERSON AND HIS LEC- TURE ON THE WAR PRESIDENT. How the Great Southerner Came to Write His Lecture and What Be Learned by . Looking Up the Facts of His Subject. , News to the Reporter. ' That a southern man, honorably iden- tified with the Confederacy and withal a Democrat of national character and standing, should select Abraham “Lin-s coln as the subject for a popular lecture ,was in itself sufficiently anomalous, but ,that the result of such an” enterprise should be eminently successful, drawing great and enthusiastic audiences, no less in the south than in the north, was, to say the least of it, surprising, and, as . Mr. Watterson ‘had declined to talk politics, a reporter of The Times—Dem- ocrat asked him how he came to aban- don the very interesting party warfare of the period, to plow in what upon the surface seemed so unpromising a field. “The discourse upon Abraham Lin- coln, ” said Mr. Watterson, “was the offspring of a few chance words of mine used in characterizing Mr. Lincoln as ‘a man inepired of God.’ I was taken to lask for this and put upon my defense. Knowing less then than I know now of Mr. Lincoln, I naturally fell back upon the superficial aspects of his life, em- bodying the career of a man who lacked all opportunity to prepare himself for the great estate to which—late in life, without name or fame or official train- ing—he had been called, plucked as it were by a caprice of fortune from ob- scurity, and at a supreme moment ele- vated to supreme command. I must have made out my case—or at any rate the Lincoln Memorial association of Chicago thought so—for they invited me to deliver an address upon the great war president on the next celebration of his birthday at' the Auditorium in that city. This was not then possible, but a year or two later Iyielded to their wishes. There followed so many calls for its repetition in the form of a. leo- ture that in the end I found that I had imposed upon myself an undertaking far more reaching than I had originally dreamed of. ” “You have delivered this lecture to southern audiences, Mr. Watterson?” asked the reporter. “Oh, yes,” quickly returned Mr. W., “and to none more responsive. The truth is, when I came to investigate the subject, to look closely into the record, among the many surprises I found none was more unexpected to me than the re- lation of Mr. Lincoln to the south and to the people of the south. He was the one possible Republican nominee for president in 1860 who were no scars and nursed no griefs or grudges growing out of the antislavery battle. While Seward and Sumner and Chase and the rest were engaged in hand to hand com- gbat with the southern leaders at Wash- ington, Lincoln, a philosopher and hu- morist, was successfully and serenely practicing law away out in Illinois. His southern connections were many and close. He was himself a southern man. His people were southerners. His first sweetheart was a Rutledge. His wife was a Todd. ” “That is news to me,” said the re- porter. ' “That is news to me, too,” replied Mr. Watterson, and then proceeded: “In none of his great speeches during the debate with Douglas did he use a harsh, narrow word against the south- ern people. Assailing the institution of African slavery, as a system, he declar- ed that he would despoil no man of his property rights in the constitutiOn, ad- mitting that the slaveowner had many reasons for his belief in slavery and was entirely honest and sincere. During the whole period of the war he employ— ed no vindicz'ivc or prescriptive expres— sion, while there was not a day of his life that he was not projecting his great personality between some southern man or woman and danger. He issued the emancipation proclamation as a war measure, and as late as Feb. 3, 1865, proposed to his cabinet :1. plan to pay $400,000,060 to the southern states for the slaves upon the basis of the census of 1860. ” “Is that. possible?” interposed the re- portcr. “It is more than possible—a part of the record. He v. be «.luabts it has only to read for himself. lie will find that and much more bearing upon the char- acter of Abraham L‘Ezcolu as an enlight- cncd and consanutivc statesman and a generous, bromine man. All these things were new to me. I thought I knew something about. Mr. Lincoln. I discov- ered that in reality I knew very little that was accurate and was wholly ig- norant of a great deal additional that was true. The consequence has been that my southern audiences have shared the pleased surprise which filled me when I first broke into this storehouse of historic revelation. The fact is that Abraham Lincoln was a man’s height above the men around him. Soon Sew- ard and Chase Were pasteboard menby the side of him. ”—New Orleans Times- Democrat. ' China's Flag. The flag of China is one of the gayest among ensigns. The body of the flag is pale yellow. In the upper left hand cor- ner is a small red sun. Looking intent- ly at the sun is a fierce Chinese dragon. The dragon’s belly is a brilliant red and white. His green back is covered with stifi knobs. He is standing on his two hin‘d paws and the left fore foot. His feet are five toed and slightly hooked. His long, five forked tail stretches away in the rear. The dragon’s neck is arched back.

One is not quite sure that the religi- osity of the Scotch makes them so much more virtuous than people who pay less attention to “the means of grace. ” But while it cannot readily be proved that they have more of the positive virtues than their neighbors there is at least some reason to believe that they are freer from a few of the ugly vices than their southern cousins, although when the Scot is bad he is very bad. When he gives way to drink, for instance, he runs to great lengths. But it will be found that there is much less wife beat- ing (there being nothing in Scotland at all resembling the frightful practice of . “clogging” known in Lancashire towns), much less cruelty to children, much more kindliness and fellow feel- ing among the Scottish people than among the English, while at the same time the Scotch are not nearly so clan- nish as the Irish, the Jews or the Chi- nese. In his poem on “Nothing” Rochester has classed “Scotch civility” along with “French truth” and “Hibernian learn- ing” as being nonexistent. Even Walter Scott causes Mr. Owen to speak of a typical Scot like Bailie Nicol Jarvie, as “that cross grained crab‘stick of the Saltmarket,” and are we not told that the. term “Scot" as well as “Gael,” de- rived from a word for “wind, ” means “the violent, stormy people?” In spite of all this and much more to the same end the Scot, take him all in all, is not fairly chargeable with being lacking in courtesy. The word “couthy” (the op- posite or positive of “uncouth,” dimin- utived by the addition of the terminal “y”), signifying acombination of quiet kindliness and sweetness of manner, has no English equivalent, and thus would seem to indicate a peculiarly Scotch quality, which, it may be said, tends to wane considerably with the growth of commercialism, giving place to a brus- query peculiarly the outcome of the “rush” of business, and what Carlyle called the “mere cash nexus” between man and man. . Scottish speech abounds in what may be called pet words, which would seem to testify that, whether the Scotch be stormy and sharp tongued or not, they can, upon occasion, be as insinuatingly smooth tongued as the wily Italian him- self—Westminster Review. Sir John Franklin. It was in Warwickshire that I made the acquaintance of Sir John Franklin, while I was still quite a child. The stout, good humored gentleman, whose image appears before me as I write his name, is associated in my mind with an event in which he took the keenest in- terest—a total eclipse of the sun—but the amusement afforded by a rather absurd incident connected with it I am afraid engrossed my childish mind more than all the scientific explanations of the phenomenon which Sir John Franklin was so well qualified to give. In those primitive days it was, held that the best mode of witnessing the 0b- scuration of the sun was to watch it through pieces of smoked glass, with which we were all duly provided when we sallied forth to an open piece of ground where nothing impeded the view. The result was that in the course of a few minutes the noses of every one pres- ent were severely blackened—uncon- sciously to themselves—and the appear- ance of the whole scientific party was irresistibly comic. . Sir John Franklin appeared then so full of life and energy and high spirits, that it was difficult to think of him aft- erward as the wornout suffering hero of that last fatal voyage, which held the country in suspense as to his fate during a period cruelly long and trying to his wife and to all who had relatives among his companions, in the icebound vessels. One of my cousins Was of the number, and I well remember the sensation in his home when some of the relics of the disastrous qxpedition, afterward brought back, were identified as having belonged to him—Blackwood’s Magazine. The American Pie. . The truth is that the American pie, whether of pumpkin, mince, apples, berries or any other material, is indig- enous to the soil and cannot be success- fully imitated elsewhere. The foreign- ers must come here in order to learn how to make pies. And every American is born with an appetite for pie. The foreigner in our midst, and the immi- grant, assisted or otherwise, has to ac- quire it. His Americanism, in fact, may be tested by Isis taste for pie. He is not a good citizen and fully qualified for all the responsibilities and duties of a voter until he has learned to love pie like a native. And his wife and daughter must learn to make pies. Not the monstrosi- ties that sometimes pass by that name, the sodden, heavy, half baked abomina- tions that fill the eater with homicidal and suicidal tendencies, but the rich, rare, racy and healthful “confections” which every well trained American housewife knows how to prepare. —Troy Times. ‘3‘ A Curious Custom.

Two passengers on a New Haven train approaching the city a few mornings ago conversed together in a loud tone—- that is, one of them, who was blufi, hearty, stout and a bachelor, talked in a particularly loud voice, while his com~ panion, who was thin, meek and ‘a bene- dict, answered in lower tones, which Were still not inaudible after the pas- sengers in the seats near by began to take an interest in the conversation. “ No,” said the bachelor, “they want me to get married, but I tell them that I’ve seen enough of married people and I don’t care to be tied down the way most of them are. Why, there was a man down- in our place died not long ago, and the widow came down to get his wages. him. You ought to have seen that wid- ow when she found out how much he got a week. He had been taking his wages home to her every week and giv- ing it all to her to divide, as she sup- posed, But when she found out that he had been getting $3 a week more all the time she seemed to wish that he were alive again just for a little while, but I guess that he would just as soon have been dead if he had had his choice then. I have heard lots of people say that you oughtto‘take all your money; home to your wife, but I don’t want any one telling me how much I shall spend for carfare or luncheon. ” . . “Well, there is something in that,” said the married man basely. He was a particularly humble looking man, who crouched down in his seat as if he did * not dare sit upright, but his wife was far away, and he was emboldened, in‘ the confidences of talk on a suburban train, to reveal his woes. “Now, I do feel badly sometimes when I - want to take a man out to luncheon with me and spend some money in entertaining him. If I don’t do it, I cannot very well keep his custom, and if I do it, it costs so much money that my wife, who knows just what I receive, thinks I am dreadfully extravagant, and talks to me about the way in which I am wasting money.” “Yes, that’s just it,” said the loud voiced bachelor. “If you don’t spend money you lose trade, and yet you mar- ried men are half of you afraid to go around and spend money freely on your customers. I know a man in our store who doesn’t ,dare spend more than 35 cents for luncheon for fear his wife will find it out. They talk about letting your wife spend all your money, but for my part I’d rather spend it myself, and that’s why I tell all my friends that I am not going to be married. ” Just at this point the train entered the Park avenue tunnel and the voice of the base revealer of secrets, who did not worthily support. the part of the married man, was lost in the rumble cf the train. —N ew York Tribune. AMONG THe LEPERS. Those of Molokai Have Many Ways of Do- cupying Their Time. - Here in this sea girt asylum of peo- ple afflicted with the most dreaded of known diseases, from which there is no escape but through the portals of death, is presented one of the noblest and brightest pictures of the glory of Chris- tianity, with its marvels of self sacri- fice amid surroundings and under cir- cumstances tlie most depressing. These poor victims, doomed to the ravages of a disease that completes its deadly work in an average of fear or five years, the progress of which is marked with the most significant and destructive preci- sion, can alone appreciate at its true worth the Christian heroism of those who are laboring among them, follow- ing in the footsteps of the venerated Father“ Damien, and ready as he was to accept, if need be, the burden of the disease itself in their behalf. And yet unhappiness does not chill the air of Molokai. Death has lost its terror by reason of its very familiarity, and by the silver lining their faith has given the cloud. The Hawaiians are naturally a light hearted people, and even the shadow of leprosy cannot suppress for long their buoyant temperament. In Molokai lepers may be found en- gaged in pleasant pastimes, and among' them one may hear the light and cheer- ful words of greeting and see the sunny smiles. Horse racing, which is a favor: its national sport, is indulged in fre- quently. Nor are the lepers idlers; far from it. They work, while able, in the cultivation of the ground and in other ways, and altogether lead a far pleas- anter and more contented life than might be supposed. The improvement of their condition, as compared with what it was when Father Damien took up his residence on-the island in 1873, has been chiefly brought about by his influence and the labors of his succes- sors. —Donahoe’s Magazine.

Playgoers growl at the price of seats in the theater today, but let them read what was charged in Philadelphia at one time, as told in “Shakespeare’s Heroines on the Stage,” and then rest content. The story is told in these words in the book: “In 1769, at Annapolis, “The Men" chant of Venice’ was produced by the New American company, with Mrs. Os borne, the heavy tragedy actress, as the heroine. The curtain rang up at 6 p. m. in the ‘new’ playhouse. Gentlemen who desired to pay but 58. sat perforce in the pit or upper boxes; those who could afford 7s. 6d. chose the more fash- ionable lower boxes. Some of the cheap- er seats were not easy of access, if we may judge by this advertisement in the paper of the day, ‘ Upper boxes are now preparing, the passage to which must be from the stage; it is therefore hoped such gentlemen and ladies as choose to fix on these seats will come before the play begins, as it is not possible they can be admitted after the curtain is drawn up. ’ ”As for the cost of going to the thea- ter in the New York playhouse at this time, that ran lower; gallery seats there sold for 2s. each, pit ' seats for 4s. and the boxes, of which there were ten, for 55. These prices,.however, were appar- ently very moderate (whether they were New York shillings or sterling shil- lings) compared with the prices at the Philadelphia theater in 1780, when 815 was charged for the admission of a child, $20 for a gallery seat, $30 for ad- mission to the pit, and $40 for a box; but these latter prices, it may be added, were in continental money 1” HIS GR'ACE’S'SUSPENDERS. Clever Ruse by Which Wellington’s Auto- graph Was Secured. It is well known that toward the lat- ter years of the Duke of Wellington’s life it was next to impossible to coax or‘ wheedle his autograph out of him. All the stratagems used to get a reply from him to letters failed; be either did not answer them at all or directed his pri- vate secretary to do so, and thus the fa- mous signature of ‘ ‘Wellington ’ ’ became a rarity highly prized by collectors. Apropos of this Answers tells of a London lady who had an album gar- nished with the autographs of most of the great men of the day, but wanted that of the “Great Captain. ” She men- tioned her distress to a friend, a certain Mr. H., and a few days after he, to her great surprise and pleasure, brought her a note from the hand of the victor of Waterloo. It ran thus: “Field Marshal the Duke of Welling~ ton never ordered a pair of braces of the Messrs. Simpkin. If F. M. the Duke of Wellington had ordered the articles, he could not forget it. F. M. the Duke of Wellington always pays for his braces. ” This was a very odd document for a ‘ lady’s album, but its authenticity was undoubted, and it therefore found the best place in the interesting collection. The way in which this singular note was elicited was this: Mr. H. filled up one of the bankruptcy court forms and signed it, informing the duke that in winding up the affairs of Messrs. Simpkin he (the assignee) found on their books the sum of 6s. 6d. due by his grace for a pair of braces, which he requested the duke would im- mediately pay or have paid. Mr. H. ’s ruse was founded on pure fiction. but it succeeded. Factory Buildings. One of the most perplexing problems that the mechanical engineer or the su- perintendent of a manufacturing estab- lishment encounters is the dovetailing of new buildings upon old ones so as to work in harmony with them and at the same time introduce such improve- ments as may be necessary. Frequently half a dozen buildings are erected on a large plot of ground, each building fac- ing in a way’fhat seems most conven- ient at the time and without any particu- lar reference to the others. When the establishment has grown so that the available ground area must be nearly covered over with buildings and each be connected with its neighbor or with some central source of power, then the trouble arising from lack of harmony in the original structures makes itself felt in amost aggravating manner. It seems sometimes as though trouble had been created on purpose by those who first erected the shops, so aggravating and uncompromising do the buildings ap- pear. The moral therefore is that in putting up a shop it is well to think a long way ahead and to consider at least some of the most probable contingencies of the future. —Cassier’s Magazine. Carlyle Corrected. At a Royal academy dinner in London some years ago several artists were ex- pressing their enthusiasm about Titian. Carlyle and Thackeray, it appears, were among the guests. Mrs. Annie 0. Wil- son tells the story of what followed: “His glorious coloring is a fact about Titian;” said one man, striking the ta- ble to give emphasis to the remark. “And his glorious drawing is another fact about Titian!” cried another artist. And so they went on' until Carlyle, who had been listening in silence to their rhapsodies, interrupted them by saying, with a slow deliberation which had its own impressive emphasis: “And here I sit, a man made in the image of God, who knows nothing about Titian and cares nothing about Titian, and that’s another fact about Titian.” ‘ Thackeray was .sipping claret at the moment. He paused and bowed courte- ously to Carlyle. “Pardon me,” he said; “that appears to me to be not a fact about Titian, but a fact, and a lam- entable one. about Carlyle. ” A small daughter was taken to visit ”0h, mamma,” she said, upon her return, “I’ve‘ been -to a dead circus.” -- . —Advertise in the Gram.

Mountain Storms. One of the many curious superstitions of the Welsh peasantry is that of Cron Annwn, or "the spirit hounds of the air.” When a storm rages pVel‘ the mountains of Wales, the peasant will tell you that his car can discern the bowl of the Cron Annwn mingled with that of the wind, but sufficiently clear and distinct to admit of no mistake of what it is. ' 'These “spirit hounds, ” he tells you, are the spectral dogswhich. hunt the souls of the dead, or which foretell, by their expectant cry, the approaching death of some person of evil deeds. Few of those who pretend that they can so readily distinguish the cry of the soul hunting pack are willing to admit that they have ever actually seen a Cron Annwn, “for,” they say, “who would - linger until such specters dawned upon the sight?” They are described by Fali- esin, and also in the “Mabinogion,” where it is said they are of a clear, shin- ing white, with red ears. The above seems to be the universal description, and on that account the author of “Mythology of the Ancient Druids” gives it as his opinion that they are really “mystical transformations of Druidish priests, with their white robes and red tiaras. ” In the popular superstitions of Ire- land, where a similar belief in spectral hounds exists, they are said to be “jet black, with eyes and teeth of fire.” Old Con McMichael, who murdered 20 per-' sons in the early part of the fifteenth century, and who got rid of his victims by burning their bodies, is said to have been eaten by spectral dogs “that could be seen high in the air awfully rending and tearing his flesh. ” One of the pecul- iarities of the Cron Annwn, according to the Rev. Edmund James, is that the farther away they are the louder their cries appear, the sound decreasing as they draw near. -—Pittsburg Dispatch. . Weighting Silk. Some imprOvements in the treatment of silk are noted. Ordinarily silk is “weighted” by depositing 'tannate of tin on the fiber; the material receives a bath of tannic acid and then another of perchloride of tin, a repetition of this being made until an increase‘ of the weight amounts to from 15 to 20 per cent, beyond which it is not considered safe to go in the case of silkintended to be dyedlight shades or to be bleached. Recently a German. inventor has brought forward a process in which silica is the, weighting agent. In carrying out this method three steps are described. First, the silk, raw or in any stage of manu- facture and either before or after dye- ing, is worked for an hour in a bath of perchloride of tin; then, after squeezing and washing, it is worked in a warm solution of water glass or soluble sili- cate of soda for about an hour, followed by washing, having also been previously passed through a solution of phosphate of soda. The operation may be repeated again and again with no harmful effect on the fiber or on the subsequent dye- ing, and in five operations the silk may be increased in weight some 100 to 120 per cent. The silk is now soaped, and, if already dyed, is cleared in an emul- sion of olive oil and acid. —New York Sun. Hatching Eggs on a. Fire Engine. A good story is told concerning the members of the fire brigade in a certain town not far from Hastings. On one oc- casion it appears a fire broke out in the town, and a rush was naturally made for the fire engine, which was always kept on the premises of one of the in- habitants. When the men attempted to take the engine out, however, they were met with the exclamation from the cus- todian: ”Hi! ye can’t take that out. I’ve got a hen sitting on there, and you’ll break her eggs.” - Tradition avers that the men, seeing the force of this argument, instantly withdrew, and the fire was put out by means of pails of water drawn from a neighboring well—Pearson’s Weekly.
