" WITH 31 ALICE TOW
NOKE."
Uvtf Lincoln Cc.me to Choose Slanton As
Otic of His Counsellors.
[From the Youth's Companion.]
Not infrequently wo feel, while list
ening to a speech full of generous sen
timent, "Would that the orator's life
illustrated his words !" Among the
" winged words" uttered by President
Lincoln were these : " With malice to
ward none, with charity for all." There
was no divorce between his conduct and
his utterance.
An anecdote which tells how Mr.
Lincoln came to appoint Mr. Edwin M.
Stanton Secretary of War illustrates the
nature of the man who was too great to
bear malice.
In order to make the history of this
appointment complete in all its mean
ings and bearings, it will be necessary
to go back to the year 1858, when Abra
ham Lincoln was practicing law in
Springfield, HI., and Edwin M. Stanton
was at the head of his profession in Cin
cinnati.
The celebrated McCormick's mower
and reaper case was before the United
Stiit a Court in Cincinnati. Stanton was
retaki ?d ns the counsel-in-chief in the
case for McCormick, withT. L\ Lincoln,
of Cincinnati, and Abraham Lincoln, of
Illinois — Lincoln having been McCor
miekV attorney in Chicago.
When Lincoln arrived in Cincinnati to
attend the trial he called upon Stanton,
who treated him in so rude and so im
a manner that he went to Mr. Me
': and informed him that he
ye to withdraw a3 counsel in
the case, stating his reasons therefor.
I\ll ( ' rmick 1 pegged him to remain, and
went to Sianton to talk about the
Lincoln was in a room adjoin
ing where the conversation occurred,
and with Lis own ears heard Stanton
say that " he could not associate with such
a gawky, long-armed ape as that ; if he
could not have a mnn who wa3 a gentle
man ia appearance, he would himself
abandon the case."
When McCormick returned to Lincoln
the latter refunded him his $500 retain
er's fee, peremptorily declining to keep
it, arul returned to Illinois.
Alter this event Mr. Lincoln never
met Stanton till events brought them
together.
When Mason and Sliiell, as Commis
sioners of the Confederacy to England,
were captured (Bth November, 1861) on
the English mail-vessel Trent, there
was great exultation among loyal people,
in wLieh Lincoln, Chase, Blair, Sumner
and tlie rest shared.
But .Mr. Seward, Lincoln's Secretary
of State, shook his head and expressed
fear* of grave complications with En
glar.il. All remember the signal danger
that »l>e Government escaped through
Mr. Seward's diplomacy.
By December Mr. Lincoln and his
Cabi . : •- ere in a state of alarm because
of the danger of a war -with England.
c day came to the Presi
deni . 1 t v him that Edwin M.
" ; i him oa the
subj< •! cf lh troubles with Great
Bri:.t: . : pressed the opinion
thai tho action ol tiie American Govern
ment : q and Slidell was
b( sustained by inter
national law.
The President lold Mr. Chase that
Mr. Stan ton did not like him and had
treated him rudely on one occasion, but
that i! Mr. Chase thought Mr. Stanton
would meet him lie would be glad to
have him co so, and give his views on
the subject.
In au hour Mr. Chase had Mr. Stan
ton i;j Mr. Lincoln's presence. Mr. Lin
coln expressed his gratification at hear
ing of Mr. St mton's views, and asked
him to repeat them to himself.
Mr. Stanton proceeded to a discussion
of the case and the laws bearing thereon,
Mr. Lincoln listening attentively. Mr.
Lincoln expressed his thanks, and asked
Mr. Stan ton to put his opinion in
writing, which he promised to do by 10
o'clock nes \ morning.
The opinion was brought at the ap
pointed time. Mr. Lincoln read it and
filed i', and then said •
" Mr. Stan ton, this is a time of war,
and yon are as much interested in sus
taini" r the Government as myself or ;
any ot!iec man. This is no time to con- i
side • pi: by issues. The life of the nation •
'"« in ("!:ia ger. I need the best counsellors :
around me. !
"1 hive every confidence in your
judgment, and have concluded to ask
you to become one of my counsellors.
The See of Secretary of "War will be
ViciiLit, an 1 I want you to accept the
port! ■ >l:o. Will you do it ?"
Stout »n was amazed, and said: "Why,
Mr. P.c^iJeut, you take me by surprise !
This is au embarrassing question. But,
if you will give me a day or two to con
cider, I will give you an answer."
Tlie next day but one he called on the
President and signified his intention to
accept. On the 13in day of January,
1862, the portfolio of Secretary of War
was placed iv his hands.
KSOWrSG ALL ABOUT IT.
"Or course," said the old gentleman,
the life of the boarding-hou3e all sum
mer, • ' you remember that Washington
had command of the famous Cuirassiers
at Waterloo f
" Certainly,* 1 replied young Dobbs.
" A.ud that if McClellan had brought
up his reserves in time the Greeks would
have lieen driven from the field before
Hannibal could have made his impetu
ous charge ?"
11 Yes," replied Dobb3, with the air of
a man who knows aH about it ; " yes, I
have beard it so stated."
" Why," continued the old gentleman,
"you kuow -what Darwin says about
it?"
"Yes," replied Dobbs feebly, wishing
>..s . nt of hearts that lie did not

.t : s ;i: it tho tide of battle might have
■•.v;j laraed at any hour of the day had
v i -i»it not failed to double-shot his Gat-
Ims pma."
"Otcmrss," echoed Dobbs, with a
triumphant look at the listening ladies.
"But," said the old gentleman once
more, ' • I think Darwin hardly correct.
If Arabi had not defeated Nebuchadnez
zar at Malvern Hill, it is my opinion
that C:»-;ar would have routed Qrouchy's
guerrillas and then beaten Cicero's
sharpshooters in detail."
"That's the way I look at it," replied
Dobbs.
" Oh, it is, is it ?" asked the old gen
tleman, winking at the ladies. Well,
I'm glad I've found a, gentleman who
can agree with me on that point."
The old gentleman walked away, leav
ing Dobbs as happy as a lord, he had
made such a good impression, you know.
But Dobbs would give something nice
to luiow what the women folks were
giggling about, confound them !—Bos

SCHOOL-LIFE AT ETON. ■
Fifty or sixty years ago English
schoolmasters ruled with a rod. They
appealed to a boy's fear of punishment,
and to nothing else. Yet famous En
glish men speak in high terms of their
school-days. They even praise tli3
master's flogging, and have an approv
ing word for the fagging -which mad;!
every small boy the slave of sonio
senior.
An American reading an article
in Temple Bar on life at Eton, dur
ing the school-days of Mr. Gladsl
asks in astonishment, How could any j
boy retain his self-respect, or be i> j
fiuenced by a sense of justice, a
graduating from such a school?
Dr. Iveate, the Principal, was a mer- •
ciless despot. CV. A. Selwyn, after
Hie missionary Bishop, was told to
bring his Greek grammar. j.
"Go raid fetch it," said Dr. Keate; "':•'
you're not back in ten minute'?, I'll fiog !
you."
The boy ran hard, Imt in his con
fusion brought back his brother's gramm
ar.
''I knew it!" said the tyrant. '"You've
burnt your own, sir ! Don't deny it ; I
see guilt in your eye."'
Selwyn protested, and said ho must
have mislaid his own.
"Then I'll Hog you for that,' 5 was the
cruel response. "A boy who mislays
his books is an idler." And the future
Bishop received a severe flogging.
About the same time a small boy was
riding as fag with a Senior to Marsh's
inn to a cock-pit fight. The horse took
fright, and the Senior, paralyzed with
terror, ordered the fag to jump on the
horse's back and stop him by sawing at
his bit. *
The dangerous feat was accomp
lished, but the little fellow's arms were
almost pulled from their sockets, and
I one of them was dislocated.
■ Mr. Gladstone tried to help the poor
• sufferer, and bathed his shoulder with
: vinegar till it was found that the limb
j needed the services of a surgeon.
i No such teacher as Dr. Iveate would
ue tolerated in an American school, no
j matter what his scholarship might be. —

THE HOMES Oh' LITEIIAHY PEOPLE.
The great literary names of the
country stand for domestic purity and
the home virtues. Irving did not mar
ry ; but after Miss Hoffman's death he
lived like a true knight, carrying his
heart for an invisible bride. Longfel
low's home was sweet and beautiful as
any poem he ever wr ot 3. Nothing could
exceed the genial pleasantness of the
home life of Bryant; of the Danas,
father and son; of Hawthorne, whose
gifted wife gave him so much cheer and
aid in his work ; of Bayard Taylor, and
of Dr. Holland. Emerson's home a*
Concord was an idyl, and hard-hearted
people who visited him did not wonder
that he talked so loftily and sweetly,
and believed that all human beings have
an angel side. How coull he help l>e
ing everything noble, or believing every
thing good, who lives in paradise. — New

In modern Egypt a young man is not

she really looks. — Peel's Sun.

What Then Eat and How They Spend the
Ji... I. i lU < Fm \orthm
A correspondent, describing a journey
overland from Cape Serdge to Sradnia
Kolymsk, t;fiy3 : No matter how early
you may awaken in the morning you will
always find the mistress of the house
hold already up— that is, her position
changed from reclining to sitting, and as
soon as ?he observes that you are really
awake she hands you a few small pieces
of meat, not much, only an ounce or
two, perhaps, but it steadies your nerves
till breakfast time— that is, until the
others wake up. Then she goes into the
adjoining apartment, which is merely an
ia closure to keep the dogs away from
the household stores, and after fifteen
or twenty minutes of pounding and chop
ping, returns with the breakfast. A
large, flat, wooden tray is placed on the
floor, and the landlady, dropping off her
clothes, takes her position at one end, a
position inelegantly but accurately de-
scribed as "squatting." The family
and their guests gather around the
board on either side, lying flat on their
stomachs with their heads toward the
breakfast and their feet out, so that a
bird's-eye view of the table and guests
would look something like an immense
beetle.. The first course is some frozen
weeds mixed with seal oil and eaten with
small portions of fresh blubber, which
the k'ly of the house cuts with a largo
chopping-knife. The approved method
of eating this food is to take a piece of
the blubber and place it somewhere
on the pile of weeds and then press as
much as you can gather between
your thumb and the three adjoining
lingers into a mass, which will, if you
are lucky, stick together until you get
it into your mouth. The man with the
biggest thumb has the best chance
here. O^e poor fellow whom I saw
further up the coast, who had lost his
right hand and the thumb of his left,
had to be fed by his wife. The next
course is walrus meat. This is also cut
up by the presiding lady, and is served
with no stinting hand. At this portion
of the meal the one who can swallow the
largest piece without chewing has the
advantage, and the only way to. get
even with him is to keep one pieoe in
your mouth and two in your hand all
the time. After this joint has been
thoroughly discussed, there comes a
large piece of walrus hide, which has a
small portion of blubber attached to it
and the hair still on the outside. When
the meat is rotton the hair can be easily
scraped off, but otherwise it is eaten
with the rest of the hide. This hide is
about an inch thick and very tough, co
that it is absolutely impossible to chew
it, or rather to effect it by chewing.
■n i.i _ /i :n _u_ „_..! r
Even the dogs will chew perhaps lor
half a day upon a small piece of walrus
hide hanging from a bag of meat and
fail to detach it. This is, therefore, cut
into very small slices by the hostess, and
finishes the meal. It is really the most
palatable dish of the meal, and furnishes
something for the stomach to act upon
that generally occupies its attention till
the following meal, but it is astonishing
how easily a meat diet is digested,
and how soon one's appetite
returns after having gorged at
such a meal. When forced to lie over
on account of storm.3 or some notion of
Wanker's, and with nothing to do and
nothing to read, it seemed to me that all
I did was to lie on my back and watch
for indications of the next meal. •It was
all there was to break the monotony un
less my pipe needed cleaning. This wa3
always a welcome task, for by due care
fulness I could generally make it last for
half a day. There are usually two meals
a day in a well provided Tchouktchis
household the breakfast just described
and dinner, which comes on late in the
evening. The dinner is almost identical
in form with the breakfast, except that*
there is most always some hot cooked
meat that follows the course of walrus
hide. Some times the second course at
breakfast or dinner may be frozen seal
or reindeer meat, but the first and third
courses are invariable, unless charged
by force of circumstances " beyond the
control of the householder. Besides
these two meals there is always a similar
service to any guest who may arrive
during the day from a distance, and all
I resent share his luncheon with him,
and not unfrequently beat him out un
less he watches closely and keeps him
self well provided. I speak feelingly of
this matter, for so often have I had a
luncheon put before me and devoured
by ihoie who had perhaps but just fin
ished a meal, while I politely lingered so
as not to appear too ravenous. I got
over such trifling finally, and could take
my place at the board with full con
fidence that I would get at least my
share of what was going.
BILL NYE'S B ALB.
We are now offering at greatly re
duced prices a large and dazzling con
gress of fine pictorial mining stock. The
offer will hold good for the next thirty
days or until the goods are disposed of.
Our experience in mining has been pe
culiar in many respects. A mine that
showed up well and was to all appear
ance booming, generally met with some
great misfortune when we secured stock
in it. We would get a small interest in
the claim and the next morning it would
be full of water or pinched out.
We have decided, therefore, to sacri-
lice the beautiful and expensive litho
graphs to buyers at their own price dur
ing the time named. Assessable or
non- assessable goods will be included in
the sale, and will be disposed of with
out limit or reservation. Big bargains
ia watered stock, great possibilities in
embryo bonanzas. Juvenile Golcondas
at reduced rates. Jumbo leads at an
elevation of 12,000 feet above high
watei mark positively thrown away.
Claims with dead miners in tnem sold
without extra charge. Bonanzas under
twenty-five feet of snow in August sold
at rubious prices and no back talk.
Mining stocks in tents, on bond paper,
or steel-plate work on figured parchment
with accumulation of assessments, sacri
ficed for a song. Stock representing a
dividend and a tourist treasurer offered
at prices which will make humanity
shudder.
We mean business, and are determine J
to close out our interest in coming
wealth. We do not want wealth. We
find that we are far happier without it.
Gold is a snare and a delusion, and we
want to be once more free from the
gnawing care and corroding anxiety
which wealth engenders. Come early
and buy stock in gold mines, salted
mines, silver mines, nickel-plated mines,
wildcat mines, assessment mines, art
esian weil mines, with big assays at the
bottom and 200 feet of inexhaustible
dampness on top, tin mines, tarantula
mines, mica mines, pyrites mines, coal
mines, mines with musical Spanish
names, mines with wild Western names,
mines with ghosts in them, mines with
skuuks in them, mines with water in
them and mines with bad gas in them.
Stock in the New Jerusalem mine, stock
iv the Feverish Hornet mine, stock in
tho Line Tail Fiy mine, stock in the
Belligerent Bumble Bee mine, stock in
Gum Arabic mine, stock in the Siamese
Tuiu mine, *to::k in the Glass-Eyed
Maiden mine, stock ia tha Ring- Tail
Catawampaa mine, stock in the Sudden
Doatli mine, stock in the Lingering
Misery mine, and stock in all the desir
able property in the West.
This is not all empty scare and atmos
phere. It is business, and we mean it.
The red flag is at the head of tlrj mast,
and we mean to disposs of more daz
zling possibilities in ioiw weeks than Mr.
Micawber ever dreamed of. Don't for
get the place and time. — Boomerang.
BREVITY IN " ADS."
The New York Sun says : The ad
vertising columns of a widely circulated
newspaper are printed in a language
peculiar to themselves. It embraces the,
technical phrases of every calling known
to man, and is more condensed even
than communications by telegraph ; for
while in a telegram words are econo
mized, in an advertisement even the
space the words occupy, after they have
been pruned to the finest point, is
closely limited. In the M Help Wanted"
columns, for instance, an advertiser
seeking skilled operators on Wheeler &
Wilson's sewing machines advertised for
"experienced W. & W. operators." The
s:ime sense of saving prompted the man
who wrote : " Wanted — Boy to kick
Gordon and make himself useful."
Gordon means a Gordon job-printing
pr. :s. and kicking being the technical
U rm for working the treadle of the press
with the feet of the operator. The no
■ :- .•'■- in the same column of "A Peerless
t. eder wanted " indicates the sort of
prcs-o that is to be fed with blank sheets
of paper, and not any desire on the
advertiser's part to get a person of un
precedented appetite. In epite of the
saving, tlie sense is quite clear, as in the
di mands for " experienced female hands
on clocks," " burial robe hands," "bead
hands on laces," "paper boxes — glue
hands," "scarf hands," and "shoe
salesman, apply," etc. Less apparent
is the meaning of the call for a " boy in
s< store to till small pockets," or the
demand for "two buffers," " hand 3on
piequets," "yardman at hotel," "a
rubber- in," " man to rough tune and
chip up," and "a castor place servitor,"
or " a young girl improver." The ad
vertisement for a girl " to sew and paste
white hairs in furs " is, on the other
hand, too plain, and seems to betray a
trade secret. Gallantry is a marked
characteristic in the columns of "Help
wanted — females," where the old
fashioned word woman is dropped and
lady substituted in offers for foreladies,
salesladies, lady canvassers and lady
cashiers. "A boy as dishwasher" is
asked for in one advertisement, and in
another, calling for a horseshoer, the
caution is added : "No society man need
apply."
ABOUT SPELLIXG.
Mark Twain has his little fling at
those peculiarities of English spelling
which retard the proficiency of dull
scholars. He says : There 114,000
words in the unabridged dictionary. I
know a lady who can spell only 180 of
them right. She steers clear of the rest.
She can't learn any more.
So her letters always consist of those
constantly-recurring 180 words. Now
aud then when she tinds herself obliged
to write upon a subject which necessi
tates the use of some other words, she
— well, she don't write upon that sub
ject.
I have a relative hi New York who is
almost sublimely gifted. She can't spell
any word right. There is a game called
verbarium. A dozen people are each
provided with a sheet of paper, across
the top of which is written a long word
like kaleidoscopical, or something like
that, and the game is to see who can
make up the most words out of that in
three minutes, always beginning with
the initial letter of the word.
Upon one occasion the word chosen
was cofferdam. When time was called
everybody had built from five to twenty
words, except this young lady. She had
only one word — calf. We all studied a
moment, and then said, " Why, there is
no lin cofferdam. " Then we examined
her paper.
To the eternal honor of that unin
- vired, unconscious, sublimcly-independ
&ut ?.oul be it said, she had spelled that
word — caff ! If anybody here can spell
calf more sensibly than that, let him
. -t. -p to the front.

MIDWAY It. ICES.
Another Interesting Saturday Afternoon —
Sharp Practice Rebuked by the Dotis.io'a
of the Judges.
The managers of the matinee trot at I
Midway park yesterday afternoon have
reason to congratulate themselves on the
success of their enterprise, which was
really a repetition of a previous affair a
week before. Upwards of 1,000 persons
Wire assembled on the grounds yesterday
aflernoon, among whom was a fair
sprinkling of the fair ccx, who were ap
parently deeply interested in the culmina
tion of each event. The races were all
very fair, considering that most of the
horses have been in daily use and not in
the best possible condition, but the prin
cipal event was one that will interest horse
men thronghout the country, namely the
feat of Commodore Kittfon'a bay mare
Astoria, probably the last direct
descendant from the twins of the hero of
Chester,Rysdyk's Hambletonian,nowon the
track, and she until yesterday without a
record. Her performance of yesterday,
making a mile in 2:29}^, adds another [to
thelistof Rysdyk's Hambletonian's get that
has beaten 2:30, this making 3G. Astoria
is a sister of Dexter and Dictator, Dicta
tor being the sire of Phallas and Jay Eye
See, whose performances have been the
wonder of the past season on the turf.
Astoria is with colt now, and nearly
twenty years old. She wrs
driven yesterday by Mr. L. D.
Woodmansee, who had the credit of mak
ing Pocahontas famous and several of
Bonners stable often. Mr. Woodmansee
is now close onto seventy years o)d, but
the manner in which he manipulated the
ribbons yesterday might have put many
a wouid-be turfman of Ihe present day to
shame. The names of Woodmansee and
Asioria on the turf brought many a lover
of the horse back a decade of years to the
time when Dexter, Goldsmith's Maid and
others of that school were the wonders of
the turf. When the old boy came to the
score yesterday afternoon a round of ap
plause went up from the grand stand,
but when the judges gave the
word "Go," nnd the veteran sent
her spinning to the half-mile post in
I:l4V£. The excitement was running high
as she made the turn and came down the
stretch at a 2:30 gait. Bets were offered
that she would make the mile in 2:28, but
her driver did not wie>h to injure the mure
by overstraining, and, as he afterwards
remarked, was satisfied to beat 2:30. The
exact time made by three watches was
2:29}£. Several outsiders made the time
still lower, one going as low as 2:28\(.
The races were all mile heat?, best two
in three and for $50 purses, and were as
follows:
THREE MINUTE CLASS.
Alexander, Deck, McLeod, Sorrel Kate,
Logac, Nash and Dan R. Deck won in tws
straight heats. Time— 2:sl, 2:52%.
McLeod, second. Time— 2:s2, 2:57.
The 2:40 olass brought out a field of
seven and seme very fine work was dis
played. Butcher Jim won the second and
third heats and the race. Kitty S won
first heat and third place in the last.
Winners time, 2:40, 2:41 . Kitty S time,
2:43^. 2:44, 2:42}£. The following is the
simmary:
KittyS 1 4 3
lutcherjim 2 1 1
Little Queen 7 5 —
Minnieß 5 7 —
Sorroll Dan 4 2 4
Deck 6 6 --
aiattie ts 3 3 2
The pacers race brought out Gypsy,
Nigger and Lazy Bill. Pools sold even on
the two former, with .i tendency to favor
Nigger. The first heat was won by Gypsy
in 2:383^, Lazy Bill second, tira9 2:39;
Nigger 2:40. There was pome dispute' as
to the eon cl net of the driver of Nigger, and
the judges admonished him before he
started the second beat, and the horses
came in in the -ame order and time, as fol
lows: Gypsy 2:33; Lazy Bill 'J:3G; Nigger.
2:40%.
As soon as the horses passed under the
wire tli9 judges cleared the stand, and,
r.fter a consultation, being satisfied that
Nigger was "pulled," declared all bets off,
but gave the race to Gypsy, thus causing
some dissatisfaction among the book
maker?, who would have realized hand
somely had Nigger been declared beaten
fairly.
In addition to the iibove races some ex
cellent exhibitions of trottimj and pacisg
were presented by Mr. Beanpre'a Black
Frank and Frai'kie B, and Mr. Ryan's
Lilliputian pony pacers, and Mr. W. R.
Merriam's trottiug pair Prince Arthur and
Kittie Clyde, for which the management
are under obligations and desire to return
their sincere thanks. Taken all in all
Capt. Atkins and Capt. Wood are to be
complimented on the success of the affair,
and deserve the support and patronage of
the public in all such entertainments that
they may introduce. The judges of the
races yesterday were Mr. W. F. Cross, of
Red Wing, W.-H. Veazie, of Marine Mills,
Capt. Atkins and C. S. Radcliff, of St.
FaulJ The purses were awarded at
Lasher's last evening.
