IB the “Biography at Charles Carte
tan Coffin” is his own account of ac
companying the committee to the homo
of Mr.. Lincoln in Springfield, Dte, to
notify him of his nomination for presi
dent They reached Springfield early in
the evening, and after supper at the
hotel mado their call on Lincoln. It
was not to be a very formal interview.
Lincoln stood in the parlor, dressed
in n black frock coat. The announce
ment was made, and his reply seemed
brief. He was evidently much con
strained, but as soon as the last word
had been spoken he turned to Mr. Kel
ley of Pennsylvania, the chairman of
the committee, and said: “Judge, you
are a pretty tall man. How tall are
yon?”
“Six fuel two.”
“I beat you! I am 6 feat 8 without
my high heeled boots. ”
“Pennsylvania bows to IM ineis, where,
we have been told, there were only lit
tle giants,” said Kelley.
This was an allusion to Douglas, who
had bean called the ''LittleGiant.”
One by one the members of the com
mittee were introduced to Lincoln, and
when the handshaking was over he
said:
“Gentlemen, Mrs. Lincoln Will be
pleased to see you in the adjoining
room, where you will find some refresh
ments.”
Thera Mrs. Lincoln met them pleas
antly, but the only visible sign of re
freshments was a white earthen pitcher
filled with ice water. This was possibly
Mr. Lincoln’s little joke, for it was
afterward ascertained that his Repub
lican neighbors had offered to furnish
wines and liquors, which he refused to
have in his house, and that his Demo
cratic friends had sent round baskets of
champagne, which were also declined.
CHIMNEYS KNOCKED OUT.
Machine Aop» Can Be Han More
Economically WUh»it Them.
A few years ago the building of a
machine shop without a chimney would
have been looked upon as the act of an
idiot. Now it may be the wisesttbing
a builder can dd, for the large tan
which is taking the place of the chim
ney coots a great deal less than the lofty
stack, and does its work much better.
Besides this there is a great eaving in
, fael.
In one plant where this experiment
was tried there were three boilers, ag
gregating 260 horsepower, add directly
above them was mounted a fan connect
ed direct with a 5 by 4 double cylinder
engine. The wheel of the fan was 54
inches in diameter, and as it oould be
run at any speed, it provided a draft
quite independent of . the fire. Itwai
possible to use a mucht cheaper grade of
coal and the saving thus effected was
quite appreciable
For instance, with the ordinary form
of obimney the shop would use 1,624
tons of Cumberland coal, at 63.65, ag
gregating |5,929 a year. Using ths
blower, a mixture of Cumberland coal
and yard screenings, half and half,
would suffice. This, at 62.85 X, >vould
amount to 64,995, showing a difference
of 6934. The cost of operating the fan
was placed at 6183 per annum, so that
the net gain was 6751, a sum greater
than the entire cost of the mechanical
draft apparatus.—St. Louis Globe-Dem

“ Whose umbrella is that?” yelled the
conductor as be entered the smoking
oar of a suburban train.
The timid little man started and was
preparing to apologize for owning the
cause of the trouble when the conductor
again yelled almost in the same breath,
“Put it down!”
The timid little man grasped the
dripping umbrella, which he had
spread in order to allow it the quicker
to dry, and as he closed it with nervous
haste the conductor continued:
“Don’t you know enough not to open
an umbrella in a house—in a car, I
mean? Do you want to hoodoo this
train? Well, it’s mighty lucky you
didn’t run across a conductor that was
superstitious, with that umbrella, or he
might have put yon off.”
The timid littiexnan stowed the drip
ping umbrellaumder the seat, watched
the conductor punch bis ticket, replaced
it in a pocket Where he wouldn’t think
to look for it in the morning and
breathed a sigh of relief as tbe oar door
slammed after tbe presiding genins of
the train.—Chicago Journal.

“Now, Sammy, le’s play we was a

So they got down on their hands and
knees, and Sammy he got in the mud
and wollered, while Billy bellered like
distant thunder. Bimeby Sammy he
cum out muddy—you never see such a
muddy little feller—and he said, “Now

Billy said, “I ain’t a very good pig

A HUMILIATED DONKEY.
Om Who Waa to Mia Beet
Not HU I’nUea
It is no reproach to be called an ass. He
Is full of brains, pluck and will power,
and it is boastful to say that you have got
the best of one of them. But I’m conceit
ed, I am, for I beat the most Intelligent
ass that ever made up its mind to humili
ate and trouble me. I hired him to go
camping in the Yosemite valley. I picked
him out of a band of donkeys, and tbe
ground of iny selection .was his cheapness.
Tho owner asked less for him than any
animal in the bunch.
He stood about to my belt, and I han
dled him as if he was a baby, lifting him
up and dropping him for fun. That didn't
seem to bother him. He slept, or dreamed
at least, right through it But one day
he fell to his knees when I let him down,
and I laughed at the sudden awakening.
That hurt the donkey’s feelings. Be
looked at me over his shoulder, his ears
pointed straight at me, and I believe he
took a secret oath to get even. At any
rate, from that time on he made my Ute a
burden.
Ho swelled when I cinched on the pack.
He laid down in the dust when we were
In a hurry. Rolling on the pack, be broke
everything breakable, and during the night
he trampled upon and rolled on any pile
of goods that was left near. Whenever he
succeeded in doing any damage he seemed
to me to wear a malevolent smile, and the
hardest licking I oould give him failed to
remove the expression of triumph from
his face. No, sir; an ass is no ass. But
man Isn't, either—not all men.
One morning as I was packing him I
conceived a plan of revenge. I put on all
the stuff in a round pack that would help
him roll; then I made the top flat—per
fectly fiat and quite broad. When all was
ready, we started off, and I let him have
all the rope he wanted. He took a tot, got
well ahead of the line and suddenly drop
ped, stretched out and rolled. He swung
over and over till at last he landed on the
fiat top of the pack and stopped. There
he lay, head down and feet in air, kicking
and struggling, but unable to turn down.
He was caught. I ran up, and, sitting
down right at his head, I laughed. I guyed
him and shouted my delight in his face
upsidedown. It must have been tiresome,
but I was merciless. I let him stay there
for half an hour, while all the fellows got
around to help me make fun of the don
key. His ears gradually sloped and hung
loose and meek, dragging in the dust His
eyes closed. At last he ceased to kick. He
kept quiet and gave in. Then I helped
him up.
It was the most humiliated looking don
key, I ever saw. His ears were In mourn
ing and he kept his face turned away. His
head hung low and his tall did not budge.
Os course we all guyed him all day, and
he seemed to acknowledge the corn abso
lutely.
But he wasn’t conquered. The next
morning he rolled on our cooking utensils,
and, though that cut his back a little and
bruised him, be bad the satisfaction of
doing us irreparable harm. But I wasn’t
through, cither. I knew he wouldn’t roll
on his pack any more, and 1 thought I
oould stop the other trick. The next morn
ing after we had cleared up our camp I
covered the smoldering ashes of the camp
fire with dust and grass and put on the
top of it all some old cans and rubbish,
straps, ropes and things. Then I turned
loose the ass and walked away. He
browsed along up to the rubbish, smelled
of it and smiled. His ears lay back hap
pily and he steered himself up beside the
pile. Then he sank upon it and rolled
joyously, viciously. He rolled the cans
flat and bored his way down through the
other stuff till he struck the ashes. Hla
spine cut deep into the fire.
He uttered a squeal and rolled out of
the fire and up to his feet, his back curved
high like a camel’s. There was a big
burned spot about as big as a saddle, and
it must have hurt, but the ass suffered
most In mind. He looked ashamed, cowed,
humiliated almost to death, and as we
laughed at him he seemed to shrink up
into a ball. He never got over it. After
that he never used his head any more.
He was a good ass. Os course I knew he
meant to put both his hind feet at me
some day, but they are patient, donkeys
are—so patient that this one lost his
chance. I returned him before his time
came.—New York Commercial Advertiser.
Several Things at Once.
The Philadelphia Record says that the
late Dr. William Pepper oould do several
things at once. He had two secretaries,
whom he kept busy, while perhaps at the
same time he examined several patients.
He worked on an average 18 hours a day,
and when be began to feel the effects of
fatigue he would lie down on a couch or a
sofa and be sound asleep in a minute or
two. A nap of ten minutes would suffice
fer several hours’ work to follow. It is re
lated of him that on one occasion he called
to see a man suffering from some disease,
and, finding him asleep, the doctor lay
down by his side and was soon fast asleep
also. Curiously enough, although as a
physician he advocated perfect regularity
at meals for bls patients, he did not him
self observe the rules he laid down for
others.
The Exploit of a “Lady.”
A special request has been sent to the
ladles who reside in the Naval academy to
forego .visiting the lower part of the acad
emy grounds, where the prisoners are lo
cated. In spite of this several of the ladles
walk in the neighborhood of the Spanish
quarters. One, a little less timid than
others, engaged In conversation with Eu
late, much to the discomfiture of the lat
ter, who appeared restless and uneasy at
the lady’s presence. She, not In the least
daunted, approached Eulate near enough
to cut a button from his coat. Enlate be
came Indignant, but with the taunt that
“you got your deserts,” the lady walked
off, triumphantly bearing her souvenir
button.—Baltimore Herald.

street yesterday afternoon with a thin
chain around her waist, to the end of the
chain being attached a small live monkey,
which was holding on to her hip as Best it

“How can I teru ttto rtoraof tha
house?” asked a newly elected Irish
member of the late Mr. Parnell. "By
breaking them,” was tbe prompt reply
of the Irish leader, who, u is well
known, spoke from experience on tbs
point. But few members would cure to
adopt that heroic method of obtaining
the desired knowledge, and their task
in mastering the rules is rendered all
the more difficult by the curious fact
that many of tbeen regulations are un
written.
Some will ba found in the standing
orders, or permanent rules; but those
that deal with etiquette and decorum
have not been officially recorded any
where, save in a few quaint and obso
lete regulations to bo found in the old
issues of the journals of the house or in
the minutes of proceedings taken by
the clerk and published daily during
the session.
For instance, a strange rule for the
guidance of the speaker is set down un
der tho 15th of February, 1620, “The
speaker not to move hlj hat until the
third oongee.” Propriety of carriage in
leaving the chamber is thus enforced,
“Those who go out of the house In •
confused manner before the speaker to
forfait 10 shillings.' ’ This rule is dated
the 12th of November, 1640. Again we
find that on the 23d of March, 1698,
it was ordered, “No member to take
tobacco into the gallery or to the table
sitting at committees.” —Nineteenth
Century.
Urafol Siwaah Doga.
It you are going to prospect in Alaska
and expect to travel much, a pair of
good “Siwaah” dogs are very essential
—almost indispensable. There dogs
greatly differ from our domesticated
dogs, taking to the harness like a duck
to water. They do not bark at stran
gers. They are kind and affectionate,
Showing tbe wolf in them only among
their kind. It seems to be against tbetr
principles to get off the trail to let an
other team pass.
This means a fight, an exciting epi
sode if the teams number five or six
dogs each. In an instant tbe wildest
confusion takes plaoe. Dogs, harness
and each driver with a club in his hand
form one grand jumble from which or
der can only be restored by some of the
dogs being knocked senseless. Tho dogs
are trained to “gee” and “haw,” like
an ox and stop at the word “wnoa!”
“Mush” is the word used generally by
the whites to indicate go ahead, a per
version of the Indian word “hnsoh.”
The dogs prefer their master, but if
lent for use they work as faithfully as
for their master.—San Francisco Chron
icle.
Damaatac.
A Chicago politician—a veteran in
the ranks—-was recently accused by a
former henchman of having offered him
a bribe of 6500. to do a job for him.
The wily “second fiddle” kept the 6500
and afterward brought it in evidence*
against his former chief. While the
scandal was being blown about town an
acquaintance of the accused met him
<me day and slapping him good natured
ly on the back said chaffingly:
“Well, John, to you were going to
drop SSOO in Bill’s way, were you?”
The politician colored, or, to speak ac
curately, his already florid complexion
took on a purple tinge, as he said by
way of explaining his agitation (his
original language is revised):
“Now, I don’t give a hang for the
talk about bribing him. That ain’t
nothing. But it hurts my reputation to
have my friends think I was such a
clam as to give that heeler 6500 when
I oould have bought him with a ham 1”
