LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPEECH. General James 4peed, who was at one time President Lincoln's Attorney General, denies the story that the President wrote his famous Gettysburg fpaech on his knee in the train while going from Washington. Mr. Speed says Mr. Lincoln told him he partially wrote the speech in Waabington and finished it after arriving at Gettysburg.
Flattering Paragraph.
v*'
The story which General Speed denies emanated ostensibly from ex-Cong-ressman MoPh9rson, of Pennsylvania. McFherson says he sat in the same seat with President Lincoln on the cars going to Gettysburg. Furthermore he suggested to the President* what had seemingly not occurred to him before and what surprised him, that he would probably be called on to make some remarks. Shortly after this Lincoln begun fumbling his pockets. Surmising that he was after paper and that his searoh for it was not succeeding, McFherson managed to find some in bis pockets which he gave him. The President then set about writing his famous Gettysburg speech which he read to McPherson when finished. This is the McPherson story and it is a pretty good one of its kind. The kind, however, is -J* very bad for the fauts are wholly imaginative.
General Speed has denied it as seen' at the beginning of this article. There is other evidence. A year or two ago •*, Hon. John P. Usher, of Kansas, was in v. the ci(y, which was formerly his home, visiting relatives and friends. Mr. Usher was Secretary of the Interior in the
Cabinet of President -Lincoln. Speakof this Gettysburg speech, ou the occa sion of bis last visit here, he said Mr Lincoln wrote it in his office room in the White House. He wrote it on long and rather narrow pieces of heavy paper,almoet cardboard. He held these cards in his left hand as wrote. He did not not write it continuously,but in the intervals between callers Mr. Usher says he himself interrupted it once. As he came into the president's oom the latter opened a drawer in the desk at which hd was sitting and dropped into it apiece of paper and then explained that he was writing what he expected to say at Gettysburg. He has no reason to doubt that the speech was completed before the President left Washington for the battlefield. Short as the speech is and notwithstanding it says that what was done at Gettysburg will outlive all that oan be said about it, this little speech will live in the memo, ries and on the lips of men long after all the faots about the great battle have been forgotten.

ABOUT HOHSES.
TEBBF. HAUTE AND HER HOBSES. Indianapolis Western Sportsman.— I see by last week's Sportsman that I have been invited to visit the Terre Haute stock farms and that you expect something from me in the way of what I saw. Of course I feel complimented that you should take notice of my movements and shall always be pleased to tell the readers of your valuable paper of what I saw and learned. My visit to Terre Haute was to see the two great stallions Mohican (last of the Mohigans) and Jersey Wilkes. The name Mohican is familiar to every body, and I have no doubt but that Mohican will be as well known to the breeders of Indiana and Illinois within four years. Mohican is one of the bayest bays 1 ever saw he is 16 hands high, lengthy neck, wide between the eyes, (which insures no stubborness in his colts), large bright hazel eyes, fine mane and tail, strong, flat legs, no puffs or curby hind legs, no pigeon-toed or calf-legged fron) lego, but perfect, strong, short back, well ooupled, deep chested, front legs fork right tor speed, and hind quarters fit for the best of quarter horses, large barrel and with all fine action. Now who can fault him. If breeding for a trotter they fail to get one, (which I should charge to the mare) they are al most certain to get a Cleveland bay coacher now in great demand. Mohican, by the greatest sire America ever knew, (now readers analyze this sentenoe well before calling me a tool), and out of an American Star mare, a family of mares that have always produced speed when bred to Eysdyk's Hambletonian his second dam by Mambrino Chief, the first stallion that ever produced a fouryear old to beat three-minutes in a race, and today his mares are rated higher for producers of speed than any others when bred to a stallion of almost any family. Stands at Edgewood, two miles from Terre Haute, is owned bv W. R. McKeen & Son, stands for $100, and I think Indiana is his field. We have so much pacing blood here that I think a horse like Mohican can't fail in producing speed when ooupled with our mares this to our breeders.
Next week I will try to give you a description of the farms as well as to tell you of the brood mares and colts, and will say now, Hoosiers need not go out of the state for well bred colts, or fillies, for there are several good ones in Vigo County and it would be well for breeders to take a look there. Of course I saw the handsome Jersey Wilkes and will pay attention to him hereafter. With the colts that will be produced at Edgewood and Warren Park I should think one or the other establishment should certaioly own the Pilot Ciay stallion, now owned by the proprietors of the Western Sportsman. No other man has one brea like him and they want bis blood there.
I drove one of the Edgewood two-year-old fillies on the Vigo county Fair Grounds track and am free to say it is the best track in the state and we want to equal it here, and then we can expect fifty to a hundred gdod horses handled here every year, as is now being done at Terre Haute.

A Decision.
11,911—Indianapolis & St. Louis railway company vs. Isaac S. Calvert Vigo S. C. Reversed. Mitchell, J.
The appellee, for a oonsideratiorif lbleased to the railroad company the right to oooupy the middle of the Btreet in front of his property for one main track, as the agreement stipulated. The company sought thereafter to put in a switch and lay one of the fails thereof on the ends of the ties projecting from the main track and about fourteen inches fiom the south rail of the main track for a distance of nineteen feet in front of appellant's property. Appellant sought and obtained an injunction.Under the circumstances, the appellee was not entitled to enjoin the company from ocoupymg the sonth end of its ties in the manner proposed. Until it appears that the laying of the proposed switoh will in some way impose a burden on the appellee's soil which was not occupied by the track as located and used at the time the release was made, or that it in some way obstruots or impairs the appellee's use of the Btreet in a manner different from obstruction occasioned by the main track, no nght to an injunction is shown.

THE DEVIL
He Will be Given a Trial at the Barracks of the Salvation Army. The circus last night had no very bad effeot on the Salvation Army crowd. The only change noticeable was the usual gang of hangers ou around the door, who were drawn to the circus grounds, no doubt, by the sweet strains of music of the "Cow Boy Band." On the inside of the rink the usual crowd was in attendance. The audience sat around in the huge room with their coats buttoned up shaking to the tune of the soldiers songs. The public is promised a great treat in the future in the nature of a sensational performance. The soldiers for the last few days have been selling tickets for lOots. each for admission to the novel trial to be held soon. The devil will be "court martialed" on some evening this week. The date has not yet been fixed, but it will take place as soon as the Captain's wife—H allilujah Talking Machine—returns from Ft. Wayne. There seems to be a sort of a mystery as to what that pleasant entertainment will consist of, but from what could be learned after inquiring of several of the soldiers it is expeoted that his "nibs" the imp of darkness will be present as a prisoner in a sack. The trial will be held in the usual way, with attorneys for the prosecution and for the defense. Witnesses will be summoned for both eid 38 of'the case, but it could not be found who would act as judge. This, will no donbt draw a large crowd The date of the trial will be announced in time by the GAZETTE'S regular correspondent Old Hallelujah.
New Departure*
The revised edition of Humphreys' Specific Manual, so long and 'widely known 8s the Medical Guide of tbous ande, announces that "Dc. Humphreys has used in his extensive practice, for many years 'special prescriptions' which have proved so uniformly curative that he has been induced to put them up in popular form with full directions for use." This strikes U6 as a particularly wise and commendable act. In this way the learning and experience of a life time are not lost but utilized and extended beyond the original design, and additional thousands are made happy by its results, while it secures to the originator a return for his discovery, labor and skill
The "Prescriptions" are catalogued as for "Chronic Eruptions/' "Exzema," "Tetter," "Salt Rheum for "Nasal Catarrh," "Disease of the Kidneys" and of the Urinary Organs!" for "Convulsions," "Epilepsy" and "St. Vitus Dance," and for the "diseases of the Bones and Glands." We do not understand that infallibility is claimed for these several "Prescriptions," but tbat their use has proved so uniformly successful while the conceded professional skill of the author and the known reputation of the house ia a guarantee of good faith. The Manual. bound in cloth and gold, with list of "Special Prescriptions" sent free on application to the Humphreys' Homeo. Med. Co., 109 Fulton street, N. Y. City.
The Doctor's Endorsement. Dr. W. D. Wright, Cincinnati, O., sends the subjoined profeesidnal indorsement: "I have prescribed Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the lungs in a great number of cases, and always with success. One case in particular was given up by several physicians who had been called in for consultation with myself. The patient had all the symptoms of confirmed consumption—cold night sweats, hectic fever, harrassing coughs, etc. He commenced immediately to get better and was soon restored to his usual health. I f&und Dr. Hall's Balsam for the lungs the most valuable expectorant for breaking up distressing coughs and oolds.
Accident at the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, April 26.—About 9 tms morning a derrick upon the new capitol terrace fell. A white laborer named Reilly was struck on the head and probably fatally injured and a colored man had his shoulder broken. Both were employees of the contractor in charge. A heavy block of marble was beiug cwung to its intended place in the terrace wall when a guy post upon which the dock depended was pulled out of its plaoe and the machine came down.

TWO TRAMPS SUICIDE*
from
They Also Threw a Vandalia Train the Track—Particulars. About 7:40 yesterday evening two tramps were struck and run over at Hageretown, a few miles weet of Vandalia, by train No. 14, an east bound stock train on the Vandalia road. The ames of the tramps could not be learned.
They probably auioided, the engineer reports having seen them either lying or sitting on the track just before the train struck them, but he was unable to stop the train. As soon as the engine struck the men it left the track, followed by four cars. If the train had been running at a higher rate of Bfeed it would probably have resulted in a bad wreck. Two of the cars were filled with stock but none were killed 'nor were the stock men in charge hurt. The tramps were taken from the wreck literally cut to pieces. Their bodies were turned over to the coroner. The traok was cleared in an hour and forty minutes.
LATER—The coroner's verdict has been rendered. He decides that the men stayed on the track with suicidal intent. Papers in the pocket# of one of the men shows that his name was L. A. Bowsher and his home Kingman, Ind. There was nothing on the person of the other man by which he could be identified.
The county lias tpken charge of the remains. Jg| At the coroner's investigation today, papers were found on one of the dead tramps, which identified him as L. A. Bowsher, of Kingman, Ind. The coroner returned a verdict of suicide.

THE STORY TELLING SEASON.»
It Ooens in Vivacious Style With Some Fresh, Samples. New York Tribune: The opening spring finds the story-tellers as vigorous and vivacious as ever, and judging from the style of work which they are placing on the market this is to be one of their most brilliant seasons. Industrious, painstaking, dreading overstatement, passionately fond of unadorned facts, passionately devoted to the white-winged angels of Truth, the American storyteller can afford to treat with silent contempt the mean insinuation tbat he earns his living by the sweat of his imagination.
One member of the brotherhood recently' returned from a trip through British Columbia. He also returned abreast of his opportunities. He says that "One day in November last it was possible to lay boards on top of fish in a stream whiuh emptied into the Fraser River, and pass over on a living pontoon bridge to the opposite bank." It will be seen that here we have something new in fish stories. The old fashion so long in vogue ooncerned itself with the phenomenal size of individual fishes. '£be new fashion on the contrary, deals with fishes in the aggregate, with the area of the aggregate. It remains to be seen what sucoe&s will attend this innovation. But whatever its fate, the fact that it has been made is noteworthy, since it proves the storytellers whose specialty is fish are animated by a noble ambition to forget the routine things that are behind, and press forward to fresh and novel achievements. Another member of the brotherhood lives at Nevada City. What did he see the other day? Well, he saw a big Cornish miner sieze a runaway horse by the tail, bring him to, and keep him at a standstill. And that, too, without pulling the tail out cf the socket. Nevada City has always claimed that it was the healthiest oity on the continent, and after reading this incident who will dispute its claim? Consider how healthy a man must be to acquire a habit of stopping runaway horses in that way. A third member of the brotherhood has his headquarters at Milroy, Pa. His contribution to the stock of spring anecdotes is characterized by a moderation befitting a citizen of the drab-tinted commopwealth of William Penn. He merely makes casual mention of a knotted rope which a farmer who lives in Milroy lately fouud in the hollow of an old stump. "After the supposed rope had lain in the sun for a short time the farmer discovered that it was amass of copperhead snakes twisted a interlaced together, with the heads outward. It is reported that he killed them and found that there were
