Abraham Lincoln cam# to Columbus
sn Sept. 16, 1859, aud spoke from the
sast terrace of the statehouse. He was
announced as the “Hon. Abraham Lin¬
coln of IUluois” and came to Columbus
under the auspices of the Young Men’s
Republican club, better known as the
Wide Awakes. This was his first
speech in Ohio. He spoke In the fore¬
noon to a large audience, and the late
Hon. George M. Parsons was chair¬
man of the meeting. That evening he
was escorted to the market house on
Town street by a committee consisting
of the Hon. E. L. Taylor, Sr.; Charles
Scarlett. General James M. Comley,
and Charley Wing, and he spoke for a
second time.
Mr. Lincoln stopped at the old Nell
House, and when the committee met
him there to take him to the market
house meeting they had a carriage at
the door. “Oh, let’s walk, boys!” And
he started out with Taylor at his side,
the great Republican leader covering
about five feet In each stop. Every
one of the party was wall winded ex¬
cept Lincoln when they reached the
speaking place.—Columbus (OJ State

A Nntsral Lighthouse.
Strombolf. one of the IJpari islands,
has constantly and usefylly performed
the function of a lighthouse for at least
2,000 years. Circular in outline, the
Island culminates In a conical shaped
elevation, due to past volcanic agen¬
cy, which rises to the height of 3,090
feet above sea level nnd Is visible over
an area having a radius of more than
100 miles. During the day masses of
vapor are seen issuing from n point
high up the mountain side, and at
night successive displays of red light,
varying in duration and intensity,
somewhat resemble those of the gigan¬
tic flashlight on the const. The flashes
last from under one to over 20 minutes,
gradually Increasing to a ruddy glow
and as gradually fading away.
This island is referred to by several
very ancient writers as the great nat¬
ural pharos of the western Mediter¬
ranean. Now it serves the same pur
pose for the constant stream of trnf
fie passing to and from the French
and Italian ports la the gulfs of Genoa
and of Lyons, through the straits of
Messina, for which Stromboll acts ns
a “leading” light. To such an extent
Is this the case that, although the other
principal islands of the Lipari archi¬
pelago are marked by lighthouses,
nothing of the kind Is placed upon
Ktromboli.
A Dream That Came True.
“Talking about dreams," said Mrs.
Smith as we sat around the parlor,
“I once had a very strange experience.
I dreamed that I was just stepping out
of my house for a walk when a funeral
passed by. A man with a cap marked
nine nnd a red sear running across
his forehead jumped from the hearse
and, approaching mo, asked, ‘Are you
ready?’ ‘No,’ I replied, and with that
I awoke.
“A few months later I was stopping
In Chicago. I wns on the top floor of
one of the big houses and just about
to step Into the elevator when I re¬
membered another thing I wanted to
buy. I stopped aud looked through
my notebook. ‘Down!’ exclaimed the
elevator boy, and then asked me, ‘Are
you ready?’ ‘No,’ I answered, and the
door closed.
“The next Instant a great crash was
heard, and the occupants of the eleva¬
tor were dashed to an untimely death.
“The cap of the boy bore the figure
9, and he had a red scar running
across his brow.” — San Francisco
Chronicle.

money make a man go to raising man¬

"Don’t bother me.”
“Do monkeys eat mangoes, mamma?”
“I presume so. I wish you wouldn’t
talk so much.”
“Then, If money makes the man go
to raising mangoes, and monkeys eat
mangoes, don’t the monkeys make the
mango go”—

A Natural Woade*.
Buenos Ayres seems to have the
largest "rocking stone” yet discovered.
It is situated on the slope of the moun¬
tain of Taridil, in the southern part of
the province, and measures 1)0 feet
long by 18 feet broad and is 24 feet
high. Its bulk is 5,000 cubic feet, and
it weighs at least 25 tons. Neverthe¬
less. It is so beautifully poised that a
single person can set ft rocking. When
the wind blows from the southeast,
the stone, which is pyramidal in form,
■ways to and fro on its foundation
like the branches of a tree.
The Tomato.
The tomato was known up to 1830
as a “love apple” and regarded with
suspicion. -It originated in Spanish
South America and, being introduced
into Italy from Morocco, was named
**poma dei mori”—Moor’s apple. The
French called It “potnme d’amour.”

Some Ink and n Shirt.
I once remember having a noted Lon¬
don doctor out at sea for n Litle ama¬
teur fishing. He would like to see a
loligo cuttle caught, he said. I warned
him of what was likely to happen when
gafllng was on, but he (lid not care.
“Surely,” he said, “I can dodge such
guesswork as thD must be for so short
a time.”
I felt dubious as to the result, seeing
his white shirt was a prominent object
through his having such an open vest.
Finally a cuttle took the bait, and as I
drew it toward us the doctor lost all
thought of himself and his adornments
In his admiration of the movements
and the beautiful eyes of the creature
when In an instaut, as I gaffed it, the
whole ink charge struck him in the
throat and sadly blackened his white
habilimen ts.—Con temporary R*vU>w.

One morning the readers of a certain
newspaper were perplexed to see In

of the town, with w’hich the morning

selves, laughed that day, as the poets
say, "iu ghoulish glee,” and It was up
to the morning paper the next day to

THE CRIMINAL CUCKOO.
____
He Is the One Exception to the Kind-
1} Vntnr« of Birds.
• Bad temper and cruelty are perhaps
the most obvious signs of meutal de
generation In the beasts. The larger
monkeys, for instance, become as bad
tempered . _ violent . _ . when * they ..
as a man
grow old, and many In their treatment
of other animals are cruel as we use
the word lu regard to man. Among
the carnivorous beasts the cat amuses
itself by torturing a mouse, and the
weasel tribe kill for sheer love of kill
lng. No such cruelty Is seen among
eagles or falcons. Fierce as their tem¬
pers are, they do not torment other
t i'ds which they catch or kill for kill¬
ing’s sake. Good temper Is general
among birds.
Except the cuckoo, such a thing as
an 111 tempered wild bird is unknown.
Nowhere In the race can a temper like
that of the Tasmanian devil or the
wild hunting dog or the Cape buffalo
or the baboon be found. Even those
which In spring are thieves and egg
robbers are not mauvals eoueheurs at
other times. Good temper and good
fellowship in society, a personal affec¬
tion to each other to which the beasts
offer no parallel, industry and inde¬
pendence, fntense devotion and fore¬
sight In tending their young, with oth¬
er very human and engaging traits of
character, must all be credited to the
race of birds.
Among these kindly and simple na¬
tures the cuckoo is a mouster. Let
there be no mistake on this subject.
He unites in his life and character,
from the egg to the adult bird, prac¬
tices and principles to which the whole
race of warm blooded animals offers no
parallel. He Is an outrage on the mor¬
al law of bird life, something so fla¬
grant and so utterly foreign to the way
of thought of these kindly beings that
if he did not exist he would be Incon¬
ceivable. It is not merely that he is a
supplanter and a clmngeliug. His
whole nature is so evil that In the
world of birds he is an incarnation of
the principle of ill, an embodiment of
vices which would if understood or
adopted by other birds put an end to
the existence of the race. — London
Spectator.
Mistakes in Christening.
At Ramsbury Manor, England, there
once resided a poulterer’s family of the
name of Duck. The third son was to
be christeued, and the mother wanted
the name to be William. Just before
starting for church the nurse ran up
stairs to the father, who was laid up
with gout, to tell him they were off.
“What be going to call un, nurse?”
“Missus says it’s to be William,” was
the reply. “William be blowed!” said
the invalid. “Call un plain Bill!” In
accordance with these laconic instruc¬
tions the nurse gave the name of Plain
bill to the clergyman, aud the infant
was christened accordingly.
In an even funnier way Is the queer
Christian name of Mr. Ono Tlchiner of
Peckham accounted for. When his
parents and sponsors arrived at the
church, his name had not been settled
upon, and when the clergyman said,
“Name this child,” one of the frieno*
said “John," and another said "Oh,
no!” meaning not John, and, as no one
else spoke, the clergyman thought that
was to be his name and baptized him
Ono. The full account of the baptism
is contained In Blanch’s “History of
Camberwell.”
A clergyman’s son vouches for the
following: “My father was baptizing a
boy of .6 years of age. The names giv¬
en were Benjamin Joseph. After the
ceremony he said to the boy, ‘You have
two very good names, and you ought
to be a good boy. How did you como
by them?’ ‘Please, sir,’ said the boy,
‘we was twins, and the other died!’ ”
“Norma” and Liberty.
In an air In the opera of “Norma”
the theatrical censor went so far as to
cancel the word “liberta” (liberty) nnd
substitute for it the word “lealta”
(loyalty). * * * Signor Roncoui, the
famous baritone and a great public fa¬
vorite, having, in the ardor of his role,
forgotten the above mentioned emenda¬
tion, was imprisoned for three days in
order to refresh his memory.
Not long after, singing the line in the
“Elisir d’Amore” describing how a
peasant enlisted, “Vende la liberta, si
fe soldato” (He sold his liberty to be a
soldier), he waggishly altered it to
“Vende la lealta, si fe soldato.” This
variation in the text wns received with
lively applause by the public, who al¬
ways warmly welcomed anything that
savored of political opposition.
The next day the poor singer was
summoned by the head of the police to
receive a reprimand for having said
that “loyalty could be sold,” to which
Roncoui replied by observing that a
few days before he had been taught In
a way be was not likely to forget that
“lealta” ought always-to be substitut¬
ed for "liberta.”—I’ietro Orsi's "Mod¬
ern Italy.”
Artificial Spongsi.
Affttfeclal sponges are made In Get
many by treating pure cellulose with
zinc chloride. The product swells ii
water and on drying becomes hart
But to prevent this action alkallhaloida
are used. A pasty mass Is thus obtain¬
ed, which, being treated with rock
salt, is then placed In a mold. When
removed, It appears to be traversed
by canals In all directions, and aftsr
having been washed In alcohol and
water the sponge is ready for use.

Oriental Punishments.
The heathen Chinee deems the dese¬
cration of graves one of the most un¬
pardonable of crimes, and, according
to law, any man finding another In
the act of robbing a graveyard may
legally kill the villain on the spot with¬
out fear of consequences.
If a Turkish baker palms off a loaf
of bread on you that Is proved to be
of less weight than It is represented,
you can Instruct a policeman to nail
the defaulter by one of his ears to the
door of his shop so as to be in full view
of the passersby. The poor wretch will
then be provided with a sharp dagger
or knife, with which he can cut himself
fee so soon as he can summon up the
necessary courage required for the op¬
eration of self maiming.
In many of the oriental countries,
where precious stones are looked upon
as well nigh sacred objects, it Is no
uncommon thing tor a Jewel robber to
be punished with death. In Tibet the
penalty for falling from your horse
when taking part in any military op¬
erations or public athletics Is death.
One writer recalls how he saw a man
shot In Montenegro for appearing at a
review wearing a stained uniform.
&l»anlsh Nlekuamci,
One of the peculiar ways In which
Spanish differs from English is In the
names the language gives to all peo¬
ple with a certain Infirmity or peculiar¬
ity. A blind man is referred to as el
ciego; a man with but one eye Is a
tuerto; a pug nosed man Is ditto; one
who Is cross eyed Is a blsojo; a cojo Is
a lame man, aud a manco has but one
arm; if he Is humpbacked he Is a joro
bado, If baidheaded a caivo, and If
bis hair Is very short he Is a pelon.
The feminine titles for the same
classes are the same, with the excep¬
tion that they end In “a” where the
masculine terminate with “o.” These
short names are used most commonly.
In fact, they are applied as nicknames
In many cases, and especially among
the lower classes persons are address¬
ed or referred to only by these names.
Started Too Soon.
A stout German woman descended
from a Third avenue car. She had a
baby on her left arm, and a small boy
clung to her right hand. Just as she
started to step from the footboard tit*
car started, nnd down the three fell In
a confused heap, with the baby appar¬
ently at the bottom- Two or three wo¬
men screamed, and the ear stopped.,
but before any one could go to her as¬
sistance the woman was on her feet
and, with her two charges, had made
her way to the curb. “Aeh!” she said
lu answer to the sympathy of an on¬
looker. "Yah, der car It start already
too soon yet!" Then she went on her
appointed way.—New York Tribune.

Savs -Your Money.
What is the use in paying
2 l-2c for your Coilars and 5c
for Cuffs, when you can get
them laundried just as good at
2c for Coilars and 4c for Cuffs?
The Georgia Steam Laundry
has had an agent here for the
pa?t three years, and their work
has always given satisfaction.
I am responsible for all laun¬
dry left with me, and will make
good any and ail losses.
