St. Louis, A2. iS Contractor
Drew, of the Sr. Louis, Kansas City
& Colorado, returned yesterday from
New York where l.e has been the
past ortniglit, and in an interview
with the reporter stated that the
company had fully decided upon
putting in iron bridges wherever a
bridge is needed on the line, and not
onlywilI all new bridges be of iron
but the old ones will be replaced
with the same material and the work
is to he inaugurated at once. The
brid-es will be ot the most subtan
tial character, riuilt with a view to
the running of heavy trains and not
tor present needs alone, another
evidence of the tact that the Colora
do is being constructed for legitimate
purposes and not to sell as has been
repeatedly intimated. There is a
stretch of grading which was origin
ally intended tor a narrow jiauge
track, and this will be widened im
mediately and tlie grade reduced for
a distance of nearly four miles.
Another invoice of steel rails pur
chased in the east is in route for St
Louis and will be sent to the front
as rjuick as it arrives. Mr. Drew is
confident that such terminals as the
company desires in St. Loins will be
securtd before the close of the pres
ent year and the plans of the com
. pany m that direction will be per
tected during the coming month
None of the bonds of the Colorado
have been placed on the market as
yet. and probably will not be until
after the disputed question of how
the line will enter St. Louis has
been fully settled. President Pot
ter, who has also been in the east
looking after the interests ot the io;u
is expected home soon.

Fa nt a farmer of ll.iyes county, who
arrived here yesterday on his way
home from a trip through IlasUtl,
Knox and a number of other coun
ties between here and those counties
w hete he went to select a home,
speaks of extensive drought in Cole
tn:n, Jones and other sections
through which he passed "I tei
you, captain," as he called the cor
respondent, "I met hundreds of pen
pie moving away trying to get work
or something to eat. If they wait
for the legislature to appropriate
something for their relief, half
ct them will starve. Many of
them have not made a seed of any
unrig uiey planted. I never saw
uch a failure before. Some of the
people are leaving their folks to
hunt work. I saw one party trying
to k-'l ioo head ot cattle which he
ftered for $foo. I expect to go
back to Ilaskel, but shall take sup
plies with me. There have been
some late rains but they came too
late to do much good."

Prospect House, Upper Saranac
Lake, N. Y. Aug. iS. President
Cleveland caught Ins first fish this
afternoon. It was a speckled trout,
weighing three-quarters of a pound,
an unusal weight for a brook trout
at tins season, as these fish have not
yet begun to emerge from their sum
mer hiding places in the deep water
of the lake. The fish found its way
to the president's table two hours
later. The troll used was made of
a dozen hooks bound to a stout piece
of cat gut, and the whole was attach
ed to a swiveled leader. A fishing
trip down Saranac lake is contem
plated for to-moriow.
Drs. Loomis, father and son, ot
New York, passed through here
to-day on their annual excursion
auto the woods. They called to pay
their respects to the president and
to their friend, Dr. Ward.
The thormometer is down to 6o
degrees and an old fashioned log
lit- had to be built in the president's
Jog :abin.
At a funeral in New York recent
iy, as the coaches were driven slow
Sy, four men occupying one of the
carnages, were observed indulging
in a friendly game of cards It is
not known what game they were
playing, but it was probably, some
thing sweetly solacing and "comfort
ing, and while the plan may not be
patented, yet, no doubt, it will help
along m the future, to make funer
als less pathetic. "

LINCOLN AND JEFFEIISON IAV1S.
The Rev. Dr. Ilarsha, of Omaha,
narrates the following incident as
told to him bv Tohn Dixon, of Dixon.
Illinois:
"General Winhehl Scotl, when a
young man was stationed at Fort
Snelling at the time perhaps the re
motest outpost ot the United States.
When the Indian outbreak known as
the Black Hawk war was inaugura
ted some militia from Illinois prof
fered their service to aid in conquer
ing the savages. With a view of
mustering them into the service of
the L'nited "Mates two lieutenants
were sent by Scott to the then village
ot Dixon. One ot these was a very
fascinating, good looking, easy man
ageable, affable, and fluent vour.f
gentleman. The other was equally
pleasant looking, but exceedingly
modest young man.
On the morning when the ir.uster-
,ng in was to take place a tali, eaw-
ky, slabsided, homely young man
dressed in a home-made suit of blue
leans, presented h imse'f to the two
lieutenants as the captain ot the re
cruits and was duly s A orn in. This
was he who afterwards became pi es
ident of the United States the la
mented Lincoln. One of the lieu
tenants, the modest youth, was he
who fired the first gun trom Sumter,
Ma'or Anderson. The other, and
he who administered the oath, was
I
If our kind friend ot me wsceoia
Advance would quit passing so
manv sleepless nights worrying over
the (to him) enigmatical question as
to whether this paper is supporting
judge Parkinson of Hon. W. 1
Stone, the rosea'e bloom of health
will return to his sunken cheeks
once more. We will say right now
to the editor of the Advance in
words of unmistakaole characters,
that we do not care apicauynedam
whom he is supporting for congress.
Hates Co. Democrat.
From the above ebullition ot as
perity, it is plainly evident that the
righteous thrusts we have been giv
ing Iiro. Wade in the region ot the
fifth rio, have had a very exaspera
ting effect. Against this gentleman
personally, we have no objections
to urge ; but measured by the palpa
ble evidence of duplicity that have
characterized, without abatement,
his dual attitude on the congression
al question in this district, he is cer
tainly one of the most arrant dema
gogues that ever attempted, bv the
wiles of deceit and the mechinations
of demagoguery, to dupe, to cheat,
nd to mislead the h::est masses ot
the people. With a degree of en
thusiasm, and with a manifestation
of energy worthy of an honest cause
this oouble dealing, gilt-edged polit
ical impostor has affected to espouse
the cause of Judge Parkinson; but,
while doing this, his motives have
been so palpable, and the evidences
ot his insincerity and hypocrisy so
unmistakable that a feeling of su
preme disgust has obtained among
all democrats who believe in fair
dealing and honest methods. It is a
matter of little moment to us asjto
whom the Democrat supports, but
it. common, w ith all good democrats,
we have a moral right to protest
against the evidences of c'iicar.ary
and dissimulation that have marked
so incessantly every word and every
utterance of our cotemporaiy on the
congressional question. The am
biguous utterances of Ibo. Wade
are, r.o doubt, the result, on his pait
of a sincere desire to bring about
the clever occomphshment of some
political end or object ; but instead
of moulding and directing public
sentiment m a manner that would
conduce to the achievements ji his
object, he has exhibited an a nount
of impotency, a degree of puerility
and a depth ot intellectual poverty
that has rarely b-c:i equalled and
never surpassed. It is our candid
opinion that our neighbor will real
ize, about the close ot the present
campaign, if not before, that the
tactics of deceit and Machivelian
hypocrisy that he has assiduously
employed, will contribute to im
press the people with the conviction
that the Democrat, as a political
organ, does not amount to "apic
auynedam." Tote fair, Iiro. Wade;
use honorable methods, and our
word tor it, your ability to labor tor
the best interests of the democratic
party will be greatly increased.

Corroborative ot Dixon's story,
Dr. Harsha relates that he was af
terwards in the back room ot Carter
Bros New York, where he chanced
to repeat these coincidences in the
presence of several persons who were
listeners. One of them, an elderly
gentleman, arose and remarked that
he was happy to be able to confirm
the facts as given by Mr. D'xon, as
he was the chaplsn at Fort Snelling
at the time, and was fullv able to
corrobrate each statement. Ano
ther bystander added : Mr. Lincoln
had often been heard to say that ti e
first time he ever took the oath of
allegiance to the United States it was
administered to him by Jefferson
Dafis.

the Pamunky, about to join the York

and is furnished with many articles
tormely at Mount Vernon. Among
these are some handsome ukl fdh
ioned chairs, curious candlesticks,
porcelain and silverware.
The cottage is five miles trom any
habitation. He began work on it
with the assistance of only a negro
servant who had been witli him in
the field. Robert Lee was a lad

tastes are entirely of a rural kind,
and his world centers in the broad
acres of his inheritance.

Among the patients at the Ne.v
Jersey lunatic asylum, at Morris
Plains, is a man who is subject t0
very little restraint and whoe in
sanity is only occasionally manifest
ed. Several days ago Rev. Dr.
Burchard, whose advocacy proved so
disastrous to Mr. Blaine, visited the
asylum and was shown through the
building by Warden Monroe. Pies
ently they came to the rr.'ld-mannered
lunatic alluded to and Dr. Burch ird
recognized him as the son of a for
mer parishioner. Greetings were
exchanged in a hearty manner and
the doctor asked: "Well, what
brings you here ?" "Rum, Roman
ism, and Rebellion," was the sol
emn response of the patient, who
slyly winked at the warden.
"All!" said the doctor and pass
ed on.
The unwise farmer will leave his
plows, hanows. mowers, reapers,
cultivators, wagons, etc., etc., out in
the hot sun. around in the barn loi,
or out in the fields where they will
speedily be destroyed by the expos
ure to the weather. The wise far
mer will put them carefully away,
under shelter, and thus keep them m
prime order until worn out by use.
It costs us many a sigh as we travel
over the country to see so many val
uable implements and machines g- -mg
to sure decay, entailing heavy
loss, simply horn the lack of a few
minutes ot tunc to put them securely
under shelter, until wanted for an
other year. Farmers may well com
plain ot hard times when thev lose
so much I y gros and inexcusable
neglect and carelessness. Rural
