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 ocrat. Not Soperotlrtona. “ 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. Time Eneugrlk to Beller. One day BiHy; that's my brother, he and Sammy Doppy was playin by a mudhole, and Billy he said: “Now, Sammy, le’s play we was a barnyard. You be the pig and lie down and woller, and I’ll be a bull and beller like everything.” 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 you be the pig, and let me beller.” But Billy said, “I ain’t a very good pig ’fore dinner, and it'll be time 'nuff for you to beller when yer mother sees yer close. ’’—Scrap Book.

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. A Break of Bashfon. The London News the other day chron icled this incident: “A fashionably dressed lady, attired in white, with a large hat, and carrying a varicolored 'en-tout-cas,' was to be seen walking down Parliament 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 oould. ” - Useful Material.

"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” "New York Commercial Advertiser.
