lk. New Story of Abra.ham Lincol
Abraham Lincoln was to Compassion te
limn. Gov. Rice and Senator Wilson met r-
ed one morning the President's pay te
-office. With them slipped in a lad: w io
-had been waiting days for admission. Tie
eresident briefly saluted the two men aid
turning to -the lad, said kindly, "And who
is this little boy ?" The child toldehirn that
he had come to Washington seeking employ-
mentas a page in the Houee. Lincoln re-
plied that application must be made to the
doorkeeper. of the House at the Capitol.
" But, sir," said the lad, " I, am a good
boy, and have a leer from my mother and
. from the Supervisor a,ad from my Sunday -
school teacher." The President took the
lads papers, raa his eye over them, then
wrote upon the back of one of them, "1f
Capt-Goodnow can give a place to this good
- little boy, I shall be gratified. A Lincoln."
The war was at its fiercest. The greet man
was worn with anxiety and labor, tormeat-
ed by the complaints of the envious, crowd-
ed with itemberless cares incident to. his
position, pressed constantly to decisions* of
-grave moment in puhli c policy, but he fer-
got theta an to listen to the troubled tale of
a` lit* boy. It reminds us of Hien whe

A Watford Boy's Adventure.
Mr. Andy Dewar, of Nelson, Britieh
Columbia., in a letter to his mother at
Watford, Ontario, gives an accouat of a
. land slide, from which he barely escaped
with his life; The day had been very warp,
with indications of thunder, and about O.
p. m., a terrific thunder storm came on, ac-
cempanicd by a heavy rain, whicln we sub-
sequently found out was much heavier in
the hills above us, causing the water to
rise suddenly in the "give out" creek,
down which the chute comes. There Was
an immense quantity of brush, logs and
floodwoott of every description in the gulth
through which it run, to eat- nothing of oar
-chute which had a lot of timber in it. The
timber iu the creek eeeined to have formed a
dam about a. mile above ,us, and at tito
&cloak in the morning it gave way lied
started down the creek carrying cverythieg
.before it. In ftet, - it is what is Called a
landslide in this country, although in, point
of fact it consists mainly of timber and
rocks for there is very little hind in the
gulch, what there is was cleaned right
down to bed-ro.:k. The house we occupied
is built hetweau two little branches into
which the "give -out." divides, about 80
rods from where it empties into CottonwoOd
Creek. • We were of course all aileep in our
beds, and the fir•st thing we knew we were
awakened by the most horrible roaring and
grindina of crashing timbers and rocks. It
was terrible, ancl before we were all awake,
it struck the house, but as a merciful Provi-
dence deereed, it divided en the little poiat
,just above the house, part going each way,
tad only a Khali -portion struck the build-
ing, but enough to hurl it 12 or l4Jfeet from
where it etood and it is now standing at, an
angle of 45 degrees. The logs were piled
Up to the eaves on both sides. The kitchen
and small woodshed were both swept away,
One log poked through the window and an-
other crashed through the side just above
-the floor, and where the house fell a stuinp
pierced through the floor between our bads.
The crashing uf the timber and reeks made
a fearful sound- and the yells and. cries Of
form men, who slept in the kitchen, added
- to the horrors of the situation. They were
buried in, the ruins fifty or sixty feet from
. where the house stood. John and I were
the first to get out,without waiting for any-
thing but our pants, and when ive jumped
from the door we were in water up to our
knees. The other iumetes soon joined us,
and also some men from the adjoining camp.
Cent hook s were soon obtained and rdl set to
work to release the men buried in the rains.
Strange to say all came out aliee. Two 'of
t
hem were only slightly injured, the other
two were badly bruisedup, but will likely
recover. There are hundreds of thousands
of feet of timber and tons of rock and
gravel piled up all around us; some places
twenty feet high, and Milieu you remember
that this was all driven down an incline of a
thousand feet to the mile by a. heavy body
of water;''yOn will agree that , our escape.

Fall Velvets.
hat velvets are to have another popula
se ou this -fall is an assured thing, says th
Chicago Dry Goods Reporter. Some of th
fancy lines. are to be in demand, but th
preference will be with the plain goods
Mach improvement is noticed in the velve
for this fall as compared with the pile good
of last season. This fall's lines have
shorter and closer pile, and a lighter back
giving the appearance and effect of Lyon
veliret. This improvement is marked in do
mestie lines. Domestic velvets in th
cheaper qualities have had the appearance
of plush, and for cut trimming have been
too heavy to work up well, but this season
the goods are greatly improved both ini
length of pile and general a.ppearance.
The colors show but little change. Green
and brown shades are -again to be popular.
A depaiture is noticed in the. green shades.
Instead of the greens consisting mostly of
olives many emerald and similar variations,
are on the shade cards. The rich golden
browns will be very desirable this fall, and
a revival of the terra cotta browns will be
seen under the new name " diavolo."

Chinese Landscape

• The Chinese were belie ,ed to havo. pos-
sessed great skill in lain ecape gardening
from a very early period, hough, if we are
_ to judge from the illustrations on the fa-
mous " willow pattern' ' pl• des, there is some
excuse for doubting the extent of that
skill. It is true that a v ery ancient Chi-
nese writer, -Lieu-Tsche , has soine ex-
tremely sensible remarks on the pleasurat
of a garden, in the course f which lio says:
"The art Of laying out ardens consists,
therefore, in contriving cheerfulness ol

The Maremma.
The name of Maremma is given to a
ge extent of insalubrious land which
orders the Mediterranean. Whether in-
lubrious because uncultivated, or uncul-
ivated because insalubrious, is a problem
hich has not yet been solved. • Though
*otlfmodern science and gnickened nation-
lenterprise have of late years been applied
its solution, the results accomplished
ave been unconvincing. The Tuscan. part
elf the Maremma stretches inland nearly tc

from Leghorn, it extends to the ancient
frontier of the pontifical states, from
whence the, same immense tract of sparsely

A Picture of Crisp!.
It might be supposed that a statesman

who entirely lacks this 'essential. He is

Rome, soli* little time ago, finding him=
self face to face with the German empress,
who immediately recognized and extended
her hand to; him in the most gracious way,
heehowed in such a plain manner that he
had not the remotest idea who she was,
and that he considered her extremely for-
ward, that she was forced to mention her
name before he could make up his inind to
stoop down and pay the expected compli-
ment. On anothen occasion he succeeded in
arousing the just indignation of Lordituf-

Shakespeare Relics.
Shakespeare relics are, of course, very
numerous, but, as we have already indi-
cated, relies were not collected in his dine,
so that a great deal of suspicion necessarily
attaches to those which we aro called upon
to venerate. Crofton Crolter possessed the
betrothal ring of the great dramatist—the
"gimmal ring," which had been placed by
the bard's oevu hand upon the finger of his
betrothed. A is ,described in Fairholt's
"The Homo ,of Shaleeipeare, " and. also.by
Croker himself in a letter to Mrs. Beeman-.
no, and preserved in that lady's "Ten and
Pencil," New York, 1858, where it is il-
lustrated: At the ,sale of Crokerds laves
and penates in December, 1854, the ring
became theproperty of the late Mr.
who .already possessed a
rival ring, of which a representation is
given in his '‘`Life Of Shakespeare."
.Thomas Ilill, the , original of "Paul
Pry," possegecd Gaigick's pup formed from
tho mulberry tree planted by Shakespeare
in his garden at New Place, Stratford -on -
Avon. Thie realized at Hill's death 40

from a Iellenic source.
Among the subjects were the strangling
of serpents by Hercules, who appears a

also a p.ctorial representation of Hero and
Leancle , and of the desertion of Ariadne.

at Hero daneum. A beardless -Zeus also
was fo ind, of which instances are very
rare, ti ough oceasional mention of such a
form of representation is made in Pausani-
as. Th re was one example of Perseus and
Andrea wile, differing from the usual: pros-
entatio of the latter as chained to a rock.
