ABRAHAM LINCOLN. ^Hitbe" 10 Unpublished Example of His Magnanimity. Here is un incident in the early experi. e nce of President Lincoln, hitherto unpublished, which is chiaracterigtic and Suggestive: thirty years ago Judge Tevis Greathouse was one of the best-known jurists in Illinois. He lived at Vandalia, U nd I for a long time was attorney-in-chief of t he Illinois Central Kailroad Company At the beginning of the war of the re “ bellion the Judge sympathized with the i South, and was active in the institution I and pupport at Vandalia of a lodge of' Sons of Liberty, 'this organization was ' supposed to be disloyal to the Union At lead, it declared for State rights as opposed, to h eder al authority, and exerted a strong influence against the volunteer system of supplying men to the Union armies. In 1862 many of the Sons were arrested by United States Marshals, .lud«e Greathouse among the number. He was taken to Washington, and permitted io call upon the President under guard. “Why, Tevis,” exclaimed Lincoln, upon meeting him, “how came you here?’’ They had practiced together in the game courts for a quarter of a century and were on intimate terms. Indicating the guard by a motion of the hand, the Judge replied: “I am in the white House by this man’s Bufferance. The strong arm'of military power forced me to Washington against my will. Lam under arrest.” “You arrested! For what?” “I rm charged with being a Son of Liberty.” “Is the charge true?” “As a lawyer would you advise me to answer that question?” “Yes; 1 would like to have the truth about it." •The charge is true,” said the Judge. “I have heard,” resumed the President, •that these Sons are the children of iniquity, and that they are seeking to ruin the country. This is rumor. It must lack exactness, or my friend Greathouse would not be among them.” Then, turning to the officer, he said: “Leave this gentleman with me. I will be personally responsible for his safe-keeping.” During the succeeding four days the Judge was an honored guest at the Executive Mansion. He saw the President frequently, but nothing mora was said about the Sons of Liberty. On the morning of the fifth day Mr. Lincoln visited his room while it was yet veryearly and found the Judge in bed. "Tevis, my old friend,” said he, “I am glad you came to Washington. I have enjoyed this visit from you very much, j Now I want you to do something else forme. As soon as you feel in the mood to do so, I wisu you to go home to your business. Here are some important papers and a railroad ticket to Vandalia. When you get back there tell the boys that Lincoln is doing his best to administer the laws of our country for the benefit of every man and woman in it, but that we are all liable to err, and perhaps some mistakes have been made. If they have any suggestions toofferl will gladly receive them. I want all the good advice my friends aie able to give.” At this point in the narrative Greathouse, who gave us the story in 1863, was much affected. “I could not reply,” said he, “and pretty soon both Lincoln and myself were shedding tears. His nobility had never shown itself to me in this way before, and I was conscience-stricken and abashed. Soon he left the room, but I did not go down for several hours. Among the papers he handed me was an unconditional release, signed by the President. I started forborne that night, and, when I got there, told ‘the boys’ that, although the Sons of Liberty might be all right in theory, in practice they would not do. Then I related what had happened to me and delivered the President’s errand. Our lodge of Sous did not thrive thereafter. I never attended it again, and in a few weeks it was disbanded.” ___ Home Life. “Americans have houses, but no homes,” was the remark made by an English traveler recently. The remark, if not true, seems to be “founded on facts.” It is becoming a serious question whether even in the most relined communities there is very much real home life, especially in the evenings. A remarkably attractive, home-loving woman lately told the following story of her attempts to keep her husband and children at home tn the evening. She arranged everything about the house most carefully, so as to make the rooms cheerful and cozv, had plenty of light, pleasant fires in ihe gra f es, dressed herself attractively, and in every possible way made her home as much like the ideal as a woman could. Immediately after supper her husband rose hurriedly, rushed into his overcoat, and excused himself very ruefully, as he looked about the cozy rooms, by saying: “There. I’ve got to catch that car! I promised Robinson to see him down at his house about that little transfer. Sorry to go, you look so nice here, but I don't see how I can help it,” so he tore out of the house after the car. The oldest daughter then said she must go upstairs and get ready for the concert to which she had been invited with two other young peop e. Very soon they came, and departed. “It looks almost too bad to be coin^ like this all the time,” she said, regretfully, as she went out. “I wonder if we shall have un evening at home before long?” She was hardly out of the house when the two boys came in where the mother ■was sitting, and said they must go to a commiltee-meeting of thei^ college literary society. They went out, and the third son and second daughter, after reading a few minutes, were called out by a neighbor to run over aud have some games with them. They went, and left the mother alone in the house. “I sat there and cried,” said this woman, “to think that in spite of all I could do,’ I could not keep my family with me one evening in the week. The next night was a repetition of the first, aud so on for the entire week. I have not had my husband and my sons and daughters all at home together in the evening since the children were too small to go out. I cannot recall one evening for the last five years, except Sunday, when we have all sat down together to enjoy our own home circle.” . This is all wrong. Who n to blame for it? Let some wise woman er mother tell us. When the demands of society ] are stronger than the rights and pleas- j ures of the home circle, it is time a protest was uttered against the tyranny which is destroying the real home feeling even in our so- c died Christian families. — Youth’s Companion. To the Guillotine. A never-ending procession of victims, says the Saturday Review, passed down the Rue St. Honore to the Place de la Revolution —ci devant Place Lows Xv. —where the principal guillotine had been erected. There were guillotines, however. in several other paits of the city, and it was no uncommon matter for a

Gen. Berdan's Range-Finder. Yankee ingenuity has just been rewarded by the invention of an instrument of warfare which, if it turns out as well as tests already made seem to indicate willl exercise an influence upon scientific fighting something like thafr pred.cted for smokiess powder. The new instrument is intended for coast defense and field artillery service. By its aid it is said that the distance of an enemy from the battery in connection with which it is used may be determined w»th great speed aud absolute accurracy. It is culled the Berdan range-finder, after the name of the inventor, Gen. H. Berdan, who organized and commanded the famous Berdan sharpshooters during the war of the rebellion. The apparatus consists of a fixed base, two telescopes, and a recorder, and gives the exact distance of any object tired at. The practical beauty of it is that this is accomplished without any mental calculation whatever. While the construction of the instrument embodies the highest order of mechanical arrangement and the aplication of well-known scientific principles, the soul of the invention is the recorder. About half a minute is the average time occupied in adjusting the apparatus and taking a distance. The operation is said to be extremely simple and easily acquired. Although there are many systems for measuring distances by mechanical means, tue best military authorities have always thought that the solution of the problem for heavy ordnance, so as to insure accuracy and rapidity of fire, was quite impracticable Gen. Berdan's invention seems at length to have attained the result, however, and if further trials justify this conclusion there is no doubt that the range-finder will prevent the waste of ammunition and enormously multiply the efficiency of field artillery. Battles will be fought at known distance's, and the loss of life in first engagement fought with the Bt rdan apparatus behind the guns will go a great wav toward deterring governments from declaring war. A , committee of the Board of Ordnance aud Fortifications of the United States army has recently investigated the rangefinder, and reported favorably upon it. The boar I, in its communication to the Secretary of War, recommends that s.'>,ouo be appropriated for the purchase of the instalment which was tested, and that, upon the completion of the purchase this instrument to be sent to the light-artilh ry school for. trial in the field, and for a report of results bearing upon its advantages and disadvantages as an instrument for general use in the military service The Board regards such a test necessary before satisfactory conclusions can be drawn as to the fitness of the Berdan range-tinder for actual artillery service.' — ^Boston Herald. Postage Stamps. There are lire about 6,(100 varieties of | postage stamps now in use by the differ- I ent nations of the world. The museum of the Berlin I’ostoffiee alone contains a | collection ot between 4,000 aud 5,000 i S] ecimens, half of which are European and the remainder divided among the Americas, Asia, Africa, aud Australia. The emblems amoug the stamps of nations are legion; the earth, the sea, and the vaulted cmopy above us have been ransacked for curious and meaningless devices and legends. The entire animal kingdom, the ‘•tars, and the moon in all its phases, besides legendary emblems by the thousand, are known to j tne collectors of stamps, who pride them- j selves upon being “philatelists.” I pon j the printed faces of these little squares of paper may be found th? ffigies of five ■ emperors, eighteen kin^. , tnree queens, one grand duke, several inferior titled rulers and many presidents. M. Phillippe de Ferrari, perhaps, has the largest and most valuable collection I of stamps in the world, amounting to something like 5250.000, and within tho present year he sold one single little stamp to a collector in Paris for $50,(100. The designs’of the new postage stamps > recently adopted by this Government i epresent prominent personages in American history. The list includes the following: The 1-cent stamp contains a profile bust of Benjamin Franklin. The 2-cent stamp—George Washington. The 3-cent stamp—Andrew Jackson. 'The 4-cent stamp gives a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. The 5-cent stamp contains a portrait of U. S. Grant. The 6-cent stamp has a portrait of James A. Garfield. The 10-ceut stamp gives a portrait of Daniel Webster. The 15-cent stamp—Henry Clay. The 30-cent stamp—Thomas Jefferson. The 90-cent stamp—Commodore O. H. Perry. j A Georgia editor has an old Confederate shoe, manufactured for the government in 1864, just before the war ended.

A captain on the staff after four years’ work is transferred to a regiment, and a year or two later maybe again selected lor the staff as Major. After a further term of staff service he will get command of a battalion; then, perhaps, return to work on the staff and afterward be promoted to the command of a regiment. From this post he may once more be selected for the staff, to become eventually major general in command of a brigade. This is how generals are made in Germany.—C/iqrter. “STRUCK THE GOLDEN MEAN” As a Blood Purifier. RlL^rn 1 ^ 0 .?

Y., there is an interesting curiosity, phenomenon, or freak of nature, known locally as “the whistling well.” The well was drilled to a depth of forty-five feet a half century ago, but no water accumulated. A flat stone with a one and one-tourth inch hole was lifted over the month of the well, and a whistle fitted into it, whi h changed its tone as the air was draw n down or up. In settled weather the whistle was silent. An approaching storm was heralded by the warning shriek of the whistle as the tur rushed out of the well, but ns clear weather, approached the current of air changed aud rushed into the well, and the faithful whistle changed and told its story by its changed tone. The whistle has long been worn out, but the well still continues to advertise the weather. In a heavy rainstorm the out-rushing wind forces the rain upward some feet in the form of a spray. The Preventive <»f a Terrible Disease. No disorders, excepting the most deadly forms of lung disease, involve tuch a tremendous distraction ot organic tissue as those which fasten uj on the kidneys. Such maladies, when they become chronic—and none arc so liable to assume that phase—completely wreck the system. To prevent this terrible disc as?, recourse should be had, upon the first manifestation of trouble, to Hostetlers Stomach Bitters. which experience has proved to be highly effective as a mt ans of imparting tone and regulaiity to the orgai s of urination, as ■well as to the liver, stomach, aud bowels. Another beneficial result m this medicine, naturally consequent upon its diuretic action, is the elimination from the blood of impurities which beget rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, droj sy, and other malauies. By increasing the activity of the kidneys, it augments the depurative efficiency of these <ruins, which aie most importuui outlets lor the escape of such impur.t.es. Grim Decimals. In a recent legislative disillusion of a bill to regulate und fix the liability of employers in case of accidents to employes, a member, in favoaing the bill, made a speech in which he said: “Consulting the statistics on this subject, Mr Speaker, I find that et ch laborer killed in an accident leaves the following average number of relatives : “Widow, 0.5. “Children, 1.9. “Dependent parents, 0.2.” “From which it appears,” said a gentleman on the other side of the house, breaking in, “that if it were not tor the i children, the fatally injured workman, ’ taking his wife and parents together, wouldn’t leave one entire relative!" The interruption was ruled out of or- | der, and the discussion proceeded. High'y Faithful. The desirability of learning how to make one’s words express what is meant aud nothing else is well illustrated by the dubious effect of the following extract from a recent work on “Domestic Life in the Eighteenth Century:” “Weare now to speak of the bloody j days of 1793. It was in these troublous i times that the domestic servants of the | old regime were to give the proof of their । great devotion. “Great numbers, indeed, were found who, rather than betray their musters, allowed themselves to be guillotined in their stead, and who, wheu the days of pence und calm returned, silently and respectfully resumed their faithful servI ice!” Conllilence Begot of Success.

A Queen Without Legs. “The Queen of Spain has no leis.” 'The origin of this belief is amusing. When the German princess Mary Anne, who became the wife of Philip IV. of Spain, was on her way to Madrid she passed through a town, then in the j Spanish dominions, famous for its manu- j facture of gloves and stockings, whose I citizens thought they could not better I show their joy in welcoming their new queen than by presenting her with a ' sample of those commodities for which the town was rem irkable. The major- ; domo who conducted the princess, re- | ceived the gloves graciously enough, but indignantly rejected the stockings, aud severely reprimanded the deputation for j their indecency, exclaiming: “Know that the Queen of Spain has no legs!” The ; young queen, hearing this terrible announcement und being unacquainted with the etiquette and prejudices of the Spanish court, burst into tears aud begged to be i taken back to Germany, as she could I never endure such an operatiou. and she ! was ouly calmed with great difficulty, j The recital of this adventure gave great ■ amusement to the royal bridegroom, and । the saying has now become proverbial.
