DEATH OF LINCOLN.

Oa the 14th of April, 1855, just thirty. Abrabam Lincoln, Presi- dent of the United States, was shot by Johan Wilkies Booth in Ford’s Theatre, Washington. After committing this most foul murder, the assassin leaped to the staze from the box in which the Presid:nt and others were sitting. Iu doing so the spar on his boot caught in the drapery and he fell breaking one of the bones of his instep. On rising he was identified by one of the actors, who was repeating some lines from the play of the evening called “Ou- American Cousin.”

Were it not for this accident the assas- @o of one of America’s greatest men might have remained undiscovered and un uanished. The President died on the f Jlowing day and Booth was pursued and shot on the moring of tne 26th by Sergeant Corbett, iv a byrning barn, whilst threat- ening to shoot the first mag who would attem pt to arrest him.

T :e nation went wild with anger as the new: of the murderous deed fell upon the

people’s ears; and the death of Booth

two years ago,

Ma pot half satisfy the universal desire for vengeance. The name of the martyred President was op

every lip and the account of the horrid deed was everywhere told with mistened ex? aad bated breath, Pew men have ever ved who have been so loved by a peopie as Lincoln bas been loved by the people of the United States. In the long rol! of the names of the illustrious eons of that country, there is no brighter or more glorious name then that of Abraham Lincoin.

THE

NATURE AS AN ARTIST.

Stone Formations on Which Were Found Some Wonderful Pictures,

Pliny, a well known writer of about the time of Christ, mentions having seen an agate the lines and markings of which formed a perfect picture ef Apollo and the nine muses, Pliny says that the little children recognized it on sight. In this wonderful natural picture, as well as the artificial drawings, Apollo was represented seated in the midst of the muses, harp in hand.

Majolus, another writer of high stand- ing, saw an agate in the collection of a jeweler at Venice which, when polish- ed, showed a perfect picture of 2 shep- herd with acrook in hand and cloak

| thrown loosely over his shoulders,

In the church of St. John, at Pisa, Italy, there is a piece of stone heavily marked with red, blue and yellow spar, the lines representing an old man wth heavy white beard, with a bell in his hand, seated beside a small stream. To the worshipers at St. Jchn’s it is known as the St. Anthony stone, the picture upon it being a perfe ct likeness of that saint, even to the minor details of tunic and bell.

In 1605 some quarrymen in Italy burst open a slab of marble, both sides of which contained ar image of St. John the Baptist covered with the skin of a camel. Everything was true to nature —a single exception, the saint had only been provided with one leg and foot. How, when or upon what pretext the Turks were allowed to gain possession of the wonderful relic the writer’s au- thority fails to state. It only adds that the miraculous production is now'in the temple of St. Sophia at Constantinople.

eens after the great Johnstown flood D. S. Wingrove, superintendent of the sicitts yard at the penitentiary at Baltimore, found a slab cf marble with lines and veins which made a perfect picture of the fated city cf Johnstown and the surrounding countrr. The sky is plainly marked, as are also the hills end mornteizg surtocn Ging the town Piles upon fis of fees. marked, with an cecasional stceple or toppling wall overhanging the ecere of awful de- struction. Takch all in all, the ecien- tists consider it ene cf the most wender- ful natural formations ever found in Amcrica.—Brocklyn Eagle.

Thirteen American cities have now éxperimenied with the system of vacant lot farming which the mayor of Detroit invented three years ago as a means of helping destitute citizens to help them- selves. The cities are, besides Detroit, New York, Buffalo, Seattle, St. Louis, Toledo, Boston, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Duluth, East Orange, St. Paul and Min- neapolis, and in every one of them enough of benefit has been derived from the innovation to warrant a continua- tion of it. Next summer it is believed that the plan will be adopted in many other places. Its chief advantages are that it gives a ready means of distin- guishing the worthy poor who are will- ing to work from those to whom any form of industry is distasteful and that it is a form of charity which tends little or not at all toward pauperizing those tc whom it is extended.—New York Times.

The iron grasp of scrofula has no mercy upon its victims. This demon of the blood is often not satisfied with causing dreadful sores, but racks the body with the pains of rheumatism until Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures.

Running sores broke out on my thighs. Pieces of bone came out and an operation was contemplated. I had rheumatism in my legs, drawn up out of shape. I lost ap- petite, could not sleep. I was a perfect wreck. I continued to grow worse and

EXAMINER,

___ JAPANESE MOTHERS.

They Thoroughly Understand the Tender Care of Children.

It sometimes happens that one sees a young American mother so utterly unfit for the training of children and for the duties of motherhood that one cannot but wonder why it pleased Providence ever to give her the care of little ones, This happens sometimes in the case of really estimable women, and I have beard a young mother say sadly that she never qrite knew what todo with baby, it was such a queer little thing, and she was half afraid to touch it. Other young things in the shape of puppies, kittens, or even colts, she knew all about and was quite at home with, but her own thild remained a sort of curious and un-

canny little being to her till his baby ays were over and he began to share in his mother’s hobbies in a boyish sort of way.

Now, in Japan a mother like this is an impossibility,, She is got interested in politics or in social reforms, neither is she bent on being a social success, nor deyoted to any scientific philanthropic work, as are somany of her western sis- ters. She is par excellence a mother, and cne who cannot be rivaled in any other country. No children are so well and carefully tended as hers, and she is patient and gentle with them, never threatening them, if they are unruly, with corporal punishment, nor raising her voice and scolding them in the un- pleasant way one so often hears in other countries. The Japanese mother is a born kindergaertnerin and enters into the lives of her little ones just as easily as the westery kindergarten teacher who has undergose a long period of study and ‘raining. To her the+duties of motherhood come naturally, for among her nation women whe will make good mothers are chosen as wives, and thus in the course of nature the quality of motherliness is intensified as time gocs on, and the race of mothers becomes very euperior,

Nowhe-e is motherhood as nenpeoted as in Japan, and nowhere does the mother receive more attention from both her husband and her children. She is regarded as the maker of the race, and her maternal dutics are considered to be exceedingly honorable and to entitle her to the utn:oct ccusideration and affec- tion. —Pittsburg Dispatch.

ONE OF THE MEAN ONES.

Might Have Been Mean Enough to Have Stolen Lis Inheritance.

Four or five preachers, at a preachers’ meeting, or, rather, after the meeting was over, were discussing some of the peculiar people they had been brought into contact with during their various pastorates.

‘‘The very meanest man I ever knew,”’’ said a pastor, whose nasal twang be- trayed his Yankee origin, ‘“was a mar- ried man, though, asa rule, the really mennest men are bachelors fcr obvious reasons.

“This party was fairly well to do and expected to be enriched by the death of an old uncle to the extent of at least $106,600. Hewas a man of about 45 and was, on the surface, an extremely pious kind of a man, with strict ideas of biblical interpretations. At this time the rich old uncle—a millicnaire, by the way—was approaching the scrip- tural limit of human existence—three score and ten—and his pious nephew had begun to figure on what he was go- ing to do with his share of the old man’s fortune. The latter, however, did not

hold to scriptural interpretations, but”

held en until he was 91 yearsold. Then he departed, and as per expectation, when the estate was settled up the pious nephew received $100,000, more or less.

‘*Hoe ought to have been satisfied, of course, but he wasn’t, and after mouth- ing around about his hard luck, he finally capped the climax by suing the trustees of the residue of the estate, which had been willed to charity, for the interest on $100,000 at 6 per cent for the time that elapsed between the three score and ten limit and the date of the ae of his uncle, a peried of 21 years 3 months, the whole amount of interest bes ing $127,500. He even went so far as to swear that 6 per cent was too low, and that he could have got 8 right along for the whole time if the old man had ie da when the Bible

said he ought to d Being in the fam- ily sawever, he was willing to discount the rate of interest 25 per cent. Now, aid you ever hear of anything worse than that?’’

And not a man there did.—Wash- ington’ Star.
