Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly every

i C. A. DANA ON LINCOLN
THE FAMOUS EDITOR LECTURES BE
FORE A NEW HAVEN SOCIETY.
"Uncoln snd Bis Cabinet" the Title of
the Speech Cameron and Stanton His
Opinion of Lincoln Inside History of at
Constitutional 'Amendment.
Charles A. Dana delivered a lecture
before the New Haven County Histor
ical society the other evening on his
personal recollections of Lincoln, and his
cabinet.
Mr. Dana traced the history of the
campaign that led to Mr. Lincoln's elec
tion. His election, he. said, was due to
a united Republican party, aided by
Democrats from a disunited Democratic
party. He dwelt at length upon the
candidates who opposed Mr. Lincoln
for the nomination, and remarked that
the people then were just as eager as
they now are to get rid of what they
call "bosses."
"But just what a boss is I have never
been able to discover," Mr. Dana on
tinned. "People complain about bosses,
but I do not know of anything that suc
ceeds that does not have a boss at the
head. An army is not an army without
a genera, and a ship is not navigated
unless it has a boss at the helm. And it
has been my experience that the man
who kicks hardest against a political
boss is the man who has tried hardest to
run that boss to suit himself, and who
has met with the poorest success."
Mr. Dana named the members of
President Lincoln's cabinet He spoke
at length of Simon Cameron of Penn
sylvania, first secretary of war under
Lincoln, and who was succeeded by
Stanton. He said Cameron was an able,
loyal official and a painstaking and far
seeing statesman. "The only criticism
they could make of him was that he
bought too many guns," Mr. Dana said,
"but the truth was that he foresaw the
great struggle that was on and appre
ciated its magnitude." '''
Stanton was the most eloquent man
Mr. Dana had ever known or heard. He
mentioned an incident when a dozen
Baltimore bankers, representing proba
bly $50,000,000, went to Washington to
protest against the arrest of Baltimore
merchants who had been selling contra
band articles to a southern peddler who
acted as a sort of spy for the war de
partment. "All of these splendid gentlemen,
who came in long black coats, and who
were very respectable indeed, were ush
ered into Mr. Stanton's office and seated
before the fire. Mr. Stanton asked me
to come in, and added that all Balti
more was there. One after another these
gentlemen denounced the arrest of the
merchants as groundless and outrageous.
When they had finished, Mr. Stanton
delivered the most eloqnent oration I
ever listened to.
"He told them how the war had been
begun and how at that moment hun
dreds of thousands of the best sons of
the nation were lying dead on scores of
battlefields. He concluded by telling
them that they had come to Washington
to seek aid for men who had been aid
ing, the enemies of the Union, who were
seeking to destroy it. When Mr. Stanton
had finished, one by one they left the
room without a word. "
Mr. Dana finally described the presi
dent. "Mr. Lincoln was not an educated
man, in the sense that we here in New
Haven know an educated man. His
learning was of that type that is gained
by rising at 6 o'clock in the morning,
hoeing corn all day, and reading the
best book he could get hold of by the
light of a pine log at night. He had
read considerable, and had a most ten
acious memory. JBnr, above all, he had
genius, which is so inestimably greater
than learning. " In this connection Mr.
Dana referred to a remark made by
Seward regarding the famous speeches
at Gettysburg, that Everett's was the
speech of the scholar, Lincoln's an in
spiration of genius. ;
"And," Mr. Dana continued, "Mr.
Seward was right, and Lincoln's speech
will live as long as the English lan
guage is read. Bnt Mr. Lincoln's great
est characteristic was his wisdom. He
never acted tod" soon, and he never
struck too late. He was the most pa
tient man I ever knew, and yet his will
was always the law in the end. He was
kind, gentle and had the most unbound
ed humor. He was a plain man, honest,
gentle and good, and by good I mean a
good man in every sense of the word.
Noither was he eccentric, as he has been
described. There was nothing of the
mysterious about him. He had the char
acteristics of genius, but these were
lovable traits of character.- -
'"One day Mr. Lincoln- came to my
office on the third floor of the war de
partment. He liked to go about and at
tend to matters himself instead of send
ing for the men be wanted. The consti
tutional amendment prohibiting slavery
was then before congress and was to
come up in a few days. The president
said to me: 'Dan a, I am anxious about
this matter. It is going to be a good
deal closer than I should wish. There
are three men I am uncertain about,
and Lwant you to see them, for you
know them' better than any one else.' I
asked him what they would want. 'I
do not know,' the president replied,
'but you can promise them anything you
wish. One thing I do know, and that is
that whatever you promise them I will
give them.' -
"I saw the three men. It does not
now make any difference who they were.
One was from New York and two were
from New Jersey. Two wanted some
internal revenue appointments, and I
gave them. The other wanted the ap
pointment of collector of customs of the
port of New York, and I gave that to
him. The amendment was passed, bnt a
few days before the term of the collector
expired Mr. Lincoln was assassinated.
"I was then away in the west. I re
ceived a telegram from Roacoe Conkling
asking me to come to Washington. I
went to Washington, and he asked me
to see President Johnson and tell him
that President Lincoln had made those
promises and that they ought to be ful
filled. I did so. ' President Johnson
listened to me as I narrated the circum
stances, repeating what President Lin
coln had said that the alternative of
losing those three votes was the losing
of the amendment, and that meant the
raising of another million troops.
"President Johnson heard me out,
and then said, 'Very well, Mr. Dana; I
will not say that I will not make the
appointment, but I will say this that I
have noticed that such political prom
ises of ttinies lead to immorality. ' The
appoiatment was never made.
"Lincoln was not a man," Mr. Dana
conclnded,."ot low -or. ordinary birth,
bnt 'descended from good Massachusetts
stock. -'He rose by hard work and by
genius to become one of the leading
lawyers of the Illinois bar and finally
president of the United States, and I
doubt if there is a grander character in
all modern history." New York Her

FARMING IN CHINA.
Lessons In Irrigation May Be Learned
From the Celestial.
A Mongolian farmer has a small field
of five Or ten acres. Upon this he must
support himself, his wives and children
and put : something by for a rainy day.
iJis estate is a sandy plain which slopes
from one end to the other. His first step
is to divide it into counterparts by rais
ing low walls or partitions of clay. They
are usually 1 feet thick and 2 feet
high. Where it is difficult to get clay
be constructs the wall of the stones he
finds in the soil or of broken bricks and
tiles and stops np the crevices with clay
or even mud. Any form of soil except
ing sand is used in this manner. So far
do they go that I have seen them gather
ing the ooze, bared by the low tide, to
build the walls with, tin each little com
partment he builds a ditch in front of
the lower wall, and at the corner of the
compartment he- lowers the wall some:
what for the water to flow from one
compartment into the next adjoining.
When it rains, the compartment fill,
and the entire field looks like a lot of
panes of glass; the water soaks slowly
into the soil and keeps the ground moist
enough for agricultural and horticul
tural purposes for several montha
Where the rainfall is but slight he digs
a well at a point selected by an astrolo
ger. This, individual is a bankrupt or
dissipated scholar or priest, who has
lost caste by reason of his infirmities and
makes a living more or less precarious
by astrology, fortune telling, selecting
graves, finding subterranean water and
similar superstitional occupations. ; He
bears a striking resemblance to the sooth
sayers and witches of our own history.
Like them, be employs a divining rod
and some arrangement in crystal which
is supposed to. become cloudy when wa
ter is near. His charge for indicating
the place where a well will be success
ful varies from 10 cents to 60 cents, and
if his client secures an extra large sup
ply he demands and receives a bonus of
the same amount. These contrivances
nine times ont of ten do their business
welL Some go to great depths. It was
from these deep pits that France and
ourselves first derived the idea of the ar
tesian well. .
Water once reached, the farm labor
starts to keep on forever. Some one of
the family is always at the well, rais
ing the precious fluid to the surface. It
runs by a little canal to the top com
partment and thence trickles through
the entire field. When men and women
work at it, they use a large measure,
which brings up about five gallons ev
ery time. When little children do the
labor, a smaller measure, one that sel
dom exceeds a gallon, is used instead.
Oxen are sometimes employed, bnt en
gines, windmills and other labor saving
contrivances are never seen. The most
patient animal ia the world, the human
being, does nearly all the work. In
Tong-an I once ran across a queer ma
chine for sending water over the ter
races from these wells. This was a large
wooden X, which was whirled around
by a combination of wire and string,
something after the fashion of a Chinese
top. This was kept running all day
long by being tied to the great toes of
several Chinese women, who sat upon
the grass knitting and nursing their
babies at the same time.
Chinese are large employers of stor
age reservoirs. These are not made ac
cording to the rules of engineering, but
of brute necessity. They are usually
hollows which are walled up with earth
excavated from their bottom, or else
marshes or the dry beds of marshes
which are similarly enlarged and con
fined, and in some cases small valleys
in which a retaining wall has been
thrown up across its mouth. The im
perial law favors to the utmost the
use of water for irrigation by the farm
er and discountenances any interference
by middlemen or private capital. - The
streams, no matter whether navigable,'
the ponds and lakes are all government
property and cannot be alienated. At
the furthest, the private individual can
only lease the land beneath the water,
with the condition that the government
can at any time enter in and take pos
session of the property upon paying
him for any improvement he may have
made. ' - . ;
Judges on Horseback. ;
; Before the days of Mary the judges
rode to Westminster hall on mules, and
Mr. Justice Whyddon, in ' the opening
year of her reign, was the first to be
stride a horSe in the solemn procession.
In 1673, however, Judge Twisden, to
the great consternation of his brethren,
"from want of gravity in the beast and
too much in the rider," was "laid along
in the dirt" on a like occasion, since
which time these cavalcades of mounted
lawyers have come to an end. Hiding,
however, till superseded by driving, re-,
mained the only way of going circuit,
for professional prejuaice ran strongly
against pedestrian cironiteers, and many
good stories have been told of great law
yers who in those early years, when
Slow rises worth by poverty depress, -
found it difficult to raise funds for the
purchase of a horse.
In days more recent Mr. Justice Byles,
well knowp for his work on-bills, was
accustomed when at the bar to take a
ride every afternoon. The sorry appear
ance of his steed, however, roused the
mirth of the Temple, and the horse was
generally called Bills, to afford oppor
tunity for the, alliterative combination,
"There goes. Byles on Bills." If, how
ever, report speak true, the animal was
known to master and clerk under anoth
er name, and when a too curious client
inquired the sergeant's whereabouts the

A FRANK STATEMENT.
Mrs. R. C. Peterson, of Falrharen, Tells
a Reporter of Her Recent III- - -
v, ... -;'-.- ness and Cure. ;
From the World-Herald, Fail-haven, Wash.
Mr. R. C. Peterson, of Fairhaven,
Wash., who has been for a number of
years a sufferer from, nervous porstra
tion, rheumatism and female weakness,
and who has lately entirely recovered
tbereform, was called upon a few days
ago by a Herald representative whose
attention had been called to her case.
In answer to an inquiry,. Mrs. Peterson
Said: , ' .
"Yes, I was a sufferer for many years
from nervous attacks, rheuamtism and
other complaints. We, my husband
and I, expended a large sum of money
in visiting the celebrated doctors of
Denver, Salt Lake City and San Fran
cisco, but my relief in -all cases was
only temporary, and we had nearly
despaired of my ever recovering my
health, when, one day a friend advised
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, saying they
had known of a case V6ry similar to
mine, where a wonderful cure had been
effected by their use.
"Aoting upon this advice, as a last
remedy,, my husband purchased a box
of the Pink Pills more to please my
friend than any belief in the medioine.
However, before the box was half gone
I felt a decided change for the better
and after using three boxes was en
tirely recovered, and felt as well and
strong as I ever did.
"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, have oer
tainly been a wonderfully effective
Remedy for me, and I have no hesi
tancy in recommending . them to any
one who was affected as I was." -
Dr. :- Williams' Pink Pills are not
looked upon as. a patent medicine, but
rather as a prescripiton. An analysis
of their properties shows that they con
tain, in condensed form, all the ele
ments necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves. They are an unfailing
specific for suoh diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effects of
la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow complexions, and the tired
feeling resulting from nervous pros
tration, all diseases resulting from
vitiated humors in the blood, suoh
as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, eto.
They : are also a . specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, irregularities, and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood and restore the glow of health to

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
fort gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, 'that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
: If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
ITigs stands highest and is most largely
tsed and gives most general satisfaction.
THE EELS LIGHTHOUSE.
Novel Invention of a New En&land
Sea Captain.
- Members' of the United States light
house board are considering an inven
tion made by Captain Eels, a New En
gland mariner, and are inclined to re
gard it as the best design ever present
ed for building lighthouses in the open
ocean. " , ..
For three years engineers and scien
tists have been working on a mammoth
design for a lighthouse on the outer
shoal off Cape Hatteras, and at last
they believe they hare perfected a plan.
It is estimated that it will cost at least
$1,000,000 to carry it out. The design
of the New England man provides for
a light structure as higband as capable
of displaying a light of the first order
as any in the world, at a cost probably
not exceeding $300,000. 1 -
In general appearance the lighthouse
looks like an inverted funnel, and when
in place the big end will be on the bot
tom, several feet In the sand, and the
spigot end is to rise 100 feet, if neces
sary, to-support the light, yhe draw
ing of the design submitted to the
treasury department represents a light
house at least 150 feet high from the
top of the lens to the bottom of i he
water, the height above the water line
to be about 100 feet. The most re
markable feature of the scheme is the
great diameter of the cylinder at the
bottom and its comparative slender
ness at the water line. "The base repre
sents a circle whose diameter is at least
seventy feet,' while a few feet above
the water the structure is scarcely more
than thirty feet through the center, and
from that to the top of the light it con
tinues to diminish until at the extreme
top it is not more than twelve feet
through. The big end of the funnel
consists of two walls, one inside the
other, with a space between of about
eight feet at the bottom and graduating
to four at the top, where the funnel
meets the water line. This annular
chamber is to be rilled with masonry,
of which enough to ballast the struc
ture and keep it In an upright position
is to be built In before starting for the
sea.' Steel composes the greater part of
the structure, the framing and planting
of the sides of the funnel being similar
to the construction of a warship. When,
the structure has been completed and
towed out to sea and sunk, it is propos
ed to fill in the space between the inner
and outer chambers with : sand' and
stones, and thus weigh down the great
inverted funnel to a firm hold on the
bottom.
SAILORS' SUPERSTITIONS.
How Jolly Jack Tar Used to Look Upon
the Days of the Week.
The old -superstition as to lucky and
nnlucky days has largely passed away.
Foreign mails start and arrive on Fri
days without any regard for beliefs
which were at one time accepted as be
yond argument by most sailors. Some
thought otherwise, as will later appear.
Generally speaking, all saints' days and
ehurch holidays were regarded as un
lucky, and certain days in each month
were rather distrusted. In an old alma
nac of 1615 we find that July 19, 20, 24
and 31 were noted as "no good anchor
age." Sunday was always looked upon
as lucky, presumably in reliance on the
maxim, "The - better the day the better
the deed," and the fact of our Lord's
resurrection having taken place on that
day. -
Monday had no particular reputation
for .good or evil. Tuesday was the same,
except amon Spaniards, who said,
"Don't marry or go to sea or leave your
wife on that day. " Wednesday was the
day of Odin, the Norse god, and lucky.
Thursday was named after Thor, the
Norse god of war, and was auspicious.
Friday was the day dedicated to Freya,
Norse goddess of love, and haying refer
ence to women was not liked on this
ground The true reason for avoiding
Friday 'was, of course, the fact of the
crucifixion having taken place on that
day, and sentiments of special venera
tion for the day became converted into
a feeling of fear for the results which
would follow its violation. The Span
iards, on the other hand, had a consid
erable veneration for Friday and be
lieved that some occult infinenoe enabled
Columbus to successfully clear out of
port and discover new land on that day.
Saturday was generally considered aus
picious. . , - -
The origin of the phrase, "A capful
of wind," can be traced to a Norse king,
Eric VI, who died in 007 A. D. fie was
credited with the useful power of direct
ing tbe wind to blow where he wished by
the simple method of turning bis cap to
that point of tbe compass. His powers
were much appreciated and trusted and
resulted in his being known as "windy
cap. " There is no evidence as to wheth
er he could regulate the force of the
wind as well as the direction ; presuma-.
bly he could, or bis faithful believers
would not have been so many. A "bag

MAJOR W.
Framer of the Indiana Military Bill Made Well
by Paine's Celery Compound.
Major Bobbins, of the Second Indi
ana State guards, aide on Gen. Mo
Kee's staff and president of camp Gray,
has been for two years one of the most
influential members of the Indiana
legislature and the author of the famous
Indiana Military Law of 1889. Major
Bobibns was a very sick man up to the
time of taking Paine's celery compound.
In proof of what that remarkable
remedy can do to make a siok person
stiong and well, Major Bobbins' letter
from Indianapolis best tells its own
straightforward story.
"I was troubled with a torpid liver,
constipation and accompanying sallow
complexion, while my entire nervous
system -was entirely deranged, and I
was greatly reduced in flesh. While
in this condition I was taken down
with a very severe attaok of the grip,
and was, for a long time, confined to
the house and my bed.
"I resorted to various medioines and
tonics, and under their temporary in
fluence made several attempts to re
sume my business of traveling about in
the interests of A. Steffen, cigar manu
facturer of this city; but relapse suc
ceeded relapse, and I not only was
obliged to abandon my business, but
growing gradually worse, beoame ap
prehensive of the utilimate result.
"At this junoture, my . mother-in-law,
who had used your remedy with
gratifying results, prevailed upon me
to commence taking Paine's celery
oompouhd; and it gives me great pleas
ure to state that I at once began to feel
its beneficial effects.

I'LL, f
W. ROBBING.
- "My appetite, whioh had failed me,
returned, my constipation ceased, and
very soon my liver became normal in
its action. Following this my sleep
lessness and headaches ceased, and I
beagn to gain flesh. The insidious hold
on me that the grip had hitherto had
was relaxed, and I felt invigorated
and strengthened, so I oould resume
my vocation, and feel free from the
languid, enervated feeling that had so
long possessed me.
"My friends were pleasantly sur
prised with the change in my condi
tion, and I was only too happy to
recommend Paine's celery compound to
suoh of my acquaintances as were suf
fering from any of the complaints
which so complicated my case. There
fore, I again say I feel impelled by a
sense of gratitude to express how muoh
I have been helped, for I now feel and
look like a new man." '
Physicians who rely on Paine's cel
ery compound as thousands of the
most wide awake members of the pro
fession are doing, especially now that
nearly every one feels the need of a
genuine spring remedy physicians
know very well what that languor and
that tired feeling means. They know
that debility today often results in
nervous prostration tomorrow, unless
the tired system is quickly invigorated.
That is why all over the country
today.Paine's celery compound is being
taken by the advice of skilled physi
cians. It is the one remedy that
physicians can conscientiously call a
genuine spring remedy. Try it
