Tho Herald finds it possible only
now and then to write in a cheerful
vein about politics, and as we don’t
want to bo a pessimist or a constant
growler we are trying to givo politics
a rest.—Albany Herald, Who could

An exchange says a man who had
just had a quarrel with his wife in an
eastern city left homo in a rage. A
little while afterward ho was taken
ill of heart disease in the street.
Somebody told his wife, when she
exclaimed: “I hope ho will dio. I’ll
go up stairs and pray for him to die
to-night. Then I can colloct tho in¬
surance on his life.” The man died
in less than an hour afterward, and
the troublesome queston now is,
was this an answer to prayer? If
she gets tho money it is to bo hoped
that every dollar will burn her hand
as if it was a firebrand from hell.
The teachars of Cherokee county
were Monday denied Iho use of tho
county court house for a summer
normal school and there is great in¬
dignation. It is said the county com-
missioners claim that tho teachers
litter up the place so they are unwil¬
ling for them to uso it. Tho teachers
threaten lo go out of tho county to
ho’d their school. This is a sad
commentary upon the intelligence
and tho moral worth of these GOOD
people. They are willing to entrust
tho moral and mental education aud
development of their children to
««. ««*«. »■> tm .«...
character of their children, and yet
will not allow them, the teachers and
children, the use of their new court
ouse for f«ar of the “litter” they
will make. It really seems to us that
these good people need a visit from
the State School Commissioner to
educato them up to tho idea that the
best way to prevent crime and court
house disputes is to elevate and
ennoble tho minds of the rising gen¬
eration by educating the children in
morals and mental development; aud
this, like divine truth, must come
through the teachers. The county
commissioners of Cherokee county
are entitled to all the reputation they
make out of this action.

LINCOLN'S FiUi;m
*1 OFUE3 OF THE EARLY LIFE OF THE
MARTYRED PRESIDENT.
Philip Clurlt of Multoon Told Some
Things About Abe That Ofcbor liDito-
rJazjg Overlooked Additional Testi-
mony to the I fig lli*t*rfc of Lincoln.
Ti» M» M»M of »«»»,
Ills., was a lifelong friend of Abraham
Lincoln. A short time before his death
Uncle Philip said in conversation with
correspondent , . of , the Chicago .... r ,,.
; a limes-
| Herald:
“I do not believe the tailor ever lived
whowas skillful enough to make clothes
, Lincoln. T • , „ ,, ""t***? , . and ,
most irregular, man in outline i ever
saw. But no child was afraid of him,
and no woman would declare him to bo
ugly. , ,, Y ct any description of his appear-
ance you would write down would war-
rant tho conclusion that he was any-
thing but good * looking. Why, I must
tcdl , ,, you, tho very skm , . of , the man did
not fit, for it appeared to he loose ou
his features, and I knew him from
youth to ago. After tho Black Hawk
war Lincoln was seized with politi¬
cal aspirations, hut failed to get the
coveted position of representative.
He met with an obstacle in my friend
Peter Cartwright, a good man, whom
1 also knew as well as a brother in
those dreary days. After 1832 I saw
Lincoln quite often in Springfield,
where ho then lived. I had met with
some reverses, and after compounding
medicines, the nature of which I had
learned from tho Indians, which medi¬
cines wero sold by Lirs. Robinson aud
Shields, I took my money and went in¬
to partnership with the merchants Gar¬
rett and Douglas, aud we bought hogs
and fattened them on the mast and
what corn we could buy iu the fields.
“Tho crop was poor that year, and we
bought a great deal of ground at $3 per
acre and needed the service of a man to
moasure the ground. I did this part of
the business aud hit upon Abe Lincoln
as that man. He had a sort of survey¬
ing outfit. I hired Lincoln to do this
work for us and gave him the rather re¬
markable wages of s*l a day for his serv¬
ices. Abe—I always called him by his
name—thanked me gratefully for this
because ho knew and I know we could
have got tho w’ork done for 50 cents a
day. But I was a friend of Abo, and
my fortunes had turned for tho bright¬
er. So Lincoln remained in our servico
a few days as a sort of accountant for
us.
“Wo turned our hogs in tho fields,
driving them in droves to tho same.
When weighing time came, Abe assist¬
ed us again. I can see him now stand¬
ing by the old steelyards. They are near¬
ly all gone now. We would tie the hog’s
legs together and swing him up, and
then Abe would sing out the weight,
take a pair of scissors and cut a bunch
of bristles off the neck to show the ani¬
mal had been weighed. Hogs iu those
days had longer bristles than the breeds
of today, aud the clipping could be seen
by any drover. On one of these days he
weighed 000 hogs' for ns.
“Lincoln was a friend of temperance
also. We were together one night in a
country neighborhood when bohio one
proposed that we all go to the church
close by to hear the Rev. John Bez-ry
preach a sermon on temperance. After
listening attentively Abo remarked to
mo that that subject would some time be
one of tho greatest in this country.
“Lincoln loved debate and could tell
an anecdote with great effect. In one of
his early races, for congress I heard him
debate with Peter Cartwright, who was
the terror of every local orator, as his
opponent. Ho asked Cartwright if Gen¬
eral Jackson did right in the removal—■
I believo it was—of the bank deposits.
Cartwright evaded tho question and
gave a very indefinite answer. Lincoln
remarked that Cartwright reminded
him of a hunter he once knew who rec¬
ognized tho fact that iu summer the
deer were red and iu the winter gray,
aud at ono season, therefore, a deer
might resemble a calf. The hunter bad
brought down one at loug range, when
it was hard to see the difference, and
boasting of his own marksmanship had
said, ‘I shot at it so as to hit it if it
was a deer and miss it if a calf. ’ This
convulsed the audience and carried them
with Lincoln.
“Gratitude was a religion with him.
Lincoln was a poor financier. He was
not a manager and seldom had any inon-
ey ahead. When ho came to Springfield
from Salem, ho had been boarding for a
year with a man named Nelson Ally at
$1.50 per week aud was iu debt to him
$70. Misfortune overtook Ally long aft¬
er that, and he became an inmate of the
Knox county poorhouse. Lincoln went
in person and had him taken from the
couutywhonse and given another home.
Ho-then asked Judge Davis to see that
Ally should be cared for in case ho (Lin¬
coln) should dio first. I heard this con¬
tract between Lincoln and Davis. Ally
survived him well. Lincoln two years. I know j
“The last timo I saw.Lincoln was iu
September, 1863. I went to Washington
to settle some business iu regard to a
large tract of swamp lands I owned,
ami while at my hotel I met Ward La-
mon, whom I knew well. He told mo
that he knew Mr. Lincoln would be
very glad to see me aud insisted o’n my
calling the next dav, which I accord-
mgly did, and that occasion I will nev-
er forget, I was ushered into the room
where he was conversing with a num¬
ber of generals in great glitter and show
of uniform. He cordially received me
and introduced mo to a number of these
gentlemen aud related to them a part of
our early flatboating experiences. Dur¬
ing this conversation you could lisar a
pin fall, such clous attention did ihey
give us, tho which time. was I to my embar- him j

The first thermometer was made in i
1631 by a Dutch physicist named Cor-1
neJina Van DrebbtdJ and consisted of a j
tubo filled with air, closed at its upper j
end, and dipping at its other extremity,
which was open, iu a bottle of nitric:
acid minted witn water. As the ‘ tem- i
peratnre . rose or fell . the air . m . the tube , ,
increased or grew less in volume, and
consequently the liquid descended or
rose. This instrument is now known as
an air thermometer, but as its measure¬
ments were based on no fixed principle
it was of little use.
