Lincoln' Ditiiplomacy. Colonel "O&be" Wharton of Ket,tncky tells this story of Abraham Liccolu, who a be thinks a wonderful man in waysof which tue public fca never htard. Joseph Dill of Kentucky had a rich expeiiance vith him. bell was sent at the bead of a delegation fiom t)e Kentucky legislature lo rep esont certain facts to Lincoln, and secure some deaired action from the executive. Tu-s bornmittce wag admitted to the WhUe Hoae, where Bell, who was an able tnaa and strong speaker, made a powerful representation of hla case. At its close Lincoln got up Rod carxe among the Kentuckian9 He begu to talk with one and the other aoout old Kentucky friends. Then he linked arms with I'eil and walked back and forth with him for an hour, chatting and talking, aai es peciall) telling funny scones. Finally other vieitoie :resied for his attention, and the Kentucklans withdrew and started for home. They got as ar as Cincinnati before it oct ured to Bell that they had not secured a angle expression from Lincoln concerning the object of their visit. A Bac'Mor'a Necktie Tbry lie on my tau.e, red, purple and green; . In fact all the colors that ever weruieeo. Borne bright as a daisy, some crumpled and foiled. Like my desolate heart, of their freshness despoiled. I find them In cupboards, in corners and nooks, I und tnem In drawers, in boxes and books. The wrecks of rast fashioa, they gleam oa my tight. Each one a reminder cf hourb sad or bright. Ah! well t remember poor ribbon of blue, bow my 1-eart beul witn hope as I proudly donned you. How two lovely eyes oa your bright wlnjs were cast. 'Twas a glance of delight, but 'tis over and past. And, royal tie of purple and showy tie of red, Bcntaiii jou nas nektled a fairy unny hed, VVtiose tresses of gold once tac charm bf my life, Now thine on the head ol another man's wife. And your folds of satin, oh, dainty tie white, Were woven expressly lor my wedding mgat.

Like my dreams, 1 am sure yoa will never como back. And henceforth my neckties shall only be black. She Probably Fainted. "I was coming up on the car, yoa know," the rattled away, "and I met that Mrs. Johnson. She is alw&ys trying to lord it over me, and I knew by her looks that the had something awful to fay. In about a minute she moved along and says, tajs ebe: " 'Have you got your costumes? ' " 'Fcr what? says I. " 'For the Governor's veto," eavs she. "Just think of her Ignerance' It stunned me io that I could hardly get my breath. I eaw it was my chance to dress her feathers down, end so I put on all my dignity, raised my voice sc that all could hear, aad says, cays I: " 'No, madam, I'm not going to the Governor's veto, bat when the Governor's mes33ge takes place I shall be there.'" "Great Scotts!" exclaimed her husbsmd, but you didn't say 'message,' did yoa? "Why of course what is it?" "It's the Governor's levee, you idiot!" Kaudoiph's Stormy Death. I Letter In Cleveland Leader. The last days of John Randolph of Pov oke are full cf pathos. He thought he was dying for years before be did so, and when he was asked how he was he would replv: "Dying! dying! dying!" He was tyrannical and dictatorial until the last and he fought with his doctor on his death bed over the pronunciation of certain wor-s. His death occurred in a Philadelphia hotel. A few minutes before he died the doctor wanted o leave htm, but Randolph objected and his slave took the key, locked ths door and pat the key in his pocket. With his last words Randolph declared that he wanted hia slaves freed, and he kept the doctor there as a witness of his dying declaration. A sceptic through life, he appresiated his condition when on his death-bed, and among his last words was "remorse." He was lying perfectly auiet with his eyes closed, when he suddenly romed up and screamed out in an agitated voice, "Remote! remote! remorse!" He then cried out, ' Lst me see the word! Get a dictionary! Let me see the word!" There was no dictionary at hand, and he was told bo. He exclaimed. "Write it, tben! Let me see the word!" The doctor picked up one of his cards labelled "Randolph of Roanoke." "Shall I write it on this?" "Yes; nothing more proper wts Randolph's reply. The word remorse was written on it in pencil and handed to htm. He looked at it a moment with great intensity. "Write it on the back," he exclaimed. It was done and handed htm again. He looked at it with his blazing eyes. "Remorse!" he said, "you can have no idea of it whatever; it has brought me to my prevent situation but I have looked to Jetus Christ and I hope to obtain pardon." He then asked the doctor to draty a line under the word and told him to kssx the Cird. A thcrt time aftsr this his kesn eye boran to doll, bis powerful mind gra way, and silhia tohcuaha d!:d.

A correspondent who has looked in the dictionaries in vain to find the word "üyclorama" inquires as to its meaning. The word is a compound ot two Greek words meaning "a circle" and a "view," and is need to describe an arrangement of a large picture in a circular form with the point of view in tb ctuter.

Tbe Siamese make wedding presents, but they never give an odd number of articles, for the reason, they say. that one can not stand without a partner, three means enmity, and five sickness. On the other hand, two signifies "strong and welcome," four "laughter," six "binding together by love," acd eight "we resemble each other in likes and dispositions." A very intelligent republican and B alne lady said to us, the other day; that she hoped Cleveland's administration would prove really democratic, by Inaugurating plainer social customs in Washington, inbtead of showy display and lavish eipanditnre She thought that a gcod example conld be piven to the shoddy Americin-people, and the parvenue snobbs, by a plainer way of entertaining, when necessary to entertain, that would be in accordance with our republican form of goveanment, yet consistent with its dignity. Many sensible democrats and unostentatious republicans will cordially echo this remark of the Blaine lady. There is a great deal of useless enter txiniDg tad showy diiplij in Washington

It is folly to say that a grossly exagerated display does good by giving work to pcorer people, when the example has the eUect to make thoie poorer people strain every nerve to imitate it. Bislle it raises tbe price cf everything, boarding especially, to au f xhoibitant price that amounts almost to awincllng. and places an artificial and meretricious standard to much that could be made simple, pleanntand natural While nobody can object to a certain amount of expenditure, pretty decorations end costnme, yet when these things exceed the bounds cf intelligence and become mere imitation, or simply an expression of tbe money they ccst'they are ridiculous and vnlpar.

I'ndue Prominence. I Detroit Free Press-1 One of the greatest obstacles to the progress of womankind is the undue prominence given to matrimony. With the majority of women marriage is the aim and object of existence, and they wait for it, hopefully or despairingly according to circumstances. Even those who take up tome regular employment regard it as a means of subsistence alone. They do not expect to devote more than a few years to it, and therefore there is little to stimulate their ambition. They have no purpose other than to get the necessities of life and bridge over the time lying between them and matrimony. A woman can not put her whole heart into her work as locg'es tbe attempts to preserve it for future emergency, and work under these conditions will accomplish comparatively little. Old ItPflflum, the Kean.' Colonel W. H. Sparks, now of New Orleans, aniherof this well-known and popular song, sends to a friend the following copy of the original version , ss written bv him. It rela ted to a schoolmaster in Mississippi, named James Rot-sum, who had taught for over forty years in a single neighborhood, and who rever neglected, on SatnnUy morning to drets himself in his best and devote the dav to calling upon the ladies, which habit had given him the title of "Rossum, the Beau." Here are the verses as Colonel Sparks wrote them: Now soon, on some soft, sunny morula?. The fir.t thin ray nighbors shall know, Their car shall be met by the wrnin r: Come, bury old Kossum, tbe beau. My friends, then, so neatly shall drass me. in linen as wtite as the miow: And in my ney cotti n shall press me. And whisper, poor Rossum, the beau. And when I'm to be buried, I reckon Tbe ladies will all like to goLet tbcin lorin at the loot of my coHi-j, And follow old Kossam, the beau.

Iteautifal Feet, If all the literature that has been inspired by the pedal members were gathered into one volume it would be a cariosity of greater moment than the "Decameron." "What class of women have the smallest feet?" is as&ed, and an American exchange answers, the Americans, of course, but what boots it to know? The English beauty, Mrs Lsngtry, wears a No. Zy; Mrs. Knight, the actress, wears a No. 1; Miss Nilssou a No. VA Mrs. MrKee Rankin a No. 2; Miss Magie Mitchell a No. 3; Mifs Pixley a No. 1!;; Miss Ellen Terry a No. 3; Lilian Rassell a No. öJi, and tbe Venus de Med ci a No. 4.

TWAls's liitlUK. tlx- Ksperieiire of the Ilamorlet on Ills Wvddlng Tour. 1 1 remember one circumstance of bygone Urnen with great vividness." said Mark Twain during a recent lecture in Buffalo. "I arrived here after dark on a February evening in 1;70 with my wife and a large company of friends, when I had been a husoaad rcr twenty-four hours, and tbey put us two in a covered sleigh acd dr.vo us up and down and eery which way through all the back s'reets of Buffalo, until at last I got aifcaned. "1 askid Mr. 61ee to get me a cheap boardirsr bouse, but I didn't mesn that he shoald stretch economy to the going outside ot the Slate to find it, The fact was. there was a practical joke to the foT which I didu't know anytning abcut, and all this fooling around wa3 to give it lirue to mature. My father-in-law, the late Jervis Langton, whom many of yoa will remember, had been clandestinely spending a fair fortune upon a house and furniture in Delaware avenue for us, and bad kept his secret so well that I was the only person this aide of Niagara Falls that hafn't fonrd it out ' We reached the hocse at last, about 10 o'clock, and were introduced to a Mrs. Johnecc, the ostensible landlady. I took a glance eround, and then my opinion of Mr. See's judgment as a provider of cheap boardinghouses for men who bad to work for a living; dropped to zero. I told Mr?. Johnson there bad been an unfortunate mistake. Mr. Slee bad evidently supposed I had money, whereas I only had talent; and so, by her leave, we would abide with her a week, and then she could keep my trunk and we would hunt another place. "Then the battalion of ambushed friends and relatives burst in on us out of closets end from behind curtains; the property was delivered over to us and the joke revealed, accompanied with much hilarity. Bach jokes as these are all too carce in a person's life. That was a really tdaiirable joke, for that house was so completely equipped ia every detail even to house servants and coaenmen that there was nothing to do but just sit down and live in it. "Well, the house isn't ours now, but we've got the coachman yet. All these fifteen years Le has been a living and constant reminder cf that pleasant jest. He was a spruce young atrinllng then, with his future all before him. He showed himself worthy of high gcod fortune, and it has fallen richly to bis lot, beyond his most distempered dreamt: he's cot a wife and nine children now. I would not discriminate. I would not show partiality ; I wish yoa all tbe same lcck."
