LINCOLN APPARITION.
IIo Saw a f.iiostly I did Re r.r Himself In n
Looking fJlas.
Mr. Noah IJrooks, in his personal rom
iniscenci3 of Lincoln in Tho Century,
tells tho following strango story:
On thu day mentioned Lincoln nar
rated an incident tho particulars of
which I wrota out and printed directly
after. Ti:cso aro his own words, as
nearly as I hoy conld then bo recalled:
"It wn3 jnst after my election in
18G0, when tho news had been coming
in thick and fast all day and thero had
been a great 'hurrah boys,' o that I
was well tired out and went homo to
rest,.throwing myself down on a loungo
in my chamber. Opposite wheio I lay
was a bureau with a swinging glass
np'-n it" (and hero ho get up and placed
furniture to illustrate- the position),
"and looking in that glass 1 saw myself
reflected nearly at full length, but ray
face, I noticed, had two scparato and
(Iintinet images, tho tip of tl.c uoso of
ono being about threo inches from tho
tip of the other. I was n littlo bothered,
perhaps startled, and got up and looked
in tho glass, but the illusion vanished.
On lying down again, I saw it a second
time, plainer if possible than before,
and then I noticed that oao of tho faces
was a little paler say fivo shades
than tho otiier. I got up, and tho thing
melted away, and I went off, and in tho
tieitrmeiit of tho hour forgot all about
it nearly, bnt not quite, for tho thing
would once in awhile como up and givo
mo n littlo pang as if something nucom
fortablo had happened.
"When I went homo that night, I
told my wifo about it, and a few days
afterward ma lo tho experiment again,
when" (with a laugh) "sure enongh tho
thing camu again, bu: i never succeed
ed in bringing tho gli-v-t back after
that, though I enco tried very iudns-trion-ly
to show it to my wife, who
wns somowhat worried about it. Sho
thought it was a 'sign' that I wa3 to be
elected to a second term of ofiice, and
that tho paleness of ono of tho faces was
an omen tint I should not see lifo
through the last term."
This is n very remarkable story a
coincidence, we may say to which
some significance was ?ive:i by the creel
death of tho president toon after "ho be
ginning of his second tirm. I to!. I Mrs.
Lincoln the story and a.-ked bir if she
remembered its details. Sho expressed
surprise that Mr. Lincoln was willing
to say anything about it, as ho had up
to that time refrained from mentioning
thu incident to anj body, and as sho was
firm in her belief that the optical illu
sion (which it certainly was) was a
warning I never again referred to the
subject to either the president or his
wife.
Subsequently Lincoln's version of tho
story was confirmed by Private Secre
tary John Hay, who, however, was of
tho opinion that the illusion had been
seen on the day of Lincoln's first nomi
nation, and not, as I have said, on tho
dav of his first election.
HE ARRIVED LATER.

Kv?ryboly knows that Colonel Wiso
fi "ght as a mere- boy in the southern
r.rmy. Kcame a Republican after tho
war and ran au unsuccessful raco for
governor of Virginia. IIo has been on
tho field of honor more than once, but
no longtr believes in the duello as ho
did iifhib younger days. While a Vir
ginian to tho coro still ho is not a nativo
of the Old Dominion. At that famous
Astor House dinner a few years ago
mado memorable by tho eulogy Mr. De
pew pased on President Cleveland,
General W. T. Sherman, in tho courso
of a very interesting speech, alluded to
a trip mado by him to California in
lb SO, via tho cape. IIo stopped off at
Rio Janeiro on Christmas eve to pay
his respects to Hou. Henry A. Wise, at
that timo United States minister to
Brazil, and was hospitably entertained.
"What timo didyoa leave tho minis
ter's bouse:" queried Colonel John !S.
Wise, who was cite cf tho guests, inter
rupting General Sherman.
"At 'J o'clock, Christmas eve," re
sponded ohl Tecumseh.
"If you had just waited two hours
longer, general, I'd havo been glad to
make your acquaintance," said Wise.
Two hours later the yoang Wiso made

Tho Auld Licht kirk when Dr. Chal

They kept their bonnets on their heads
till tho miuister ottered, and they had
eacli a largo stick in his hand, which
they used for "ehappin" their noses
through all tlio service. The minister
v.'uro no gown or bands. Ho gavo a
very longsermon fnll of sound divinity,
but without tho smallest practical ap
plication and without a vestigo of fuel

his word was, "If these people ever get
to heaven, they will live on tho north

A (.rent Memory.
Tlio Journal of Speculative Philoso
phy gives a remarkable instance cf a
farmor in Indiana who could remember
what ho had done on every day for '20
years. Ho was repeatedly tested by ref
erence to tho notes mado on previous
examinations, and never failed both to
name tho day of tho week and to tell
what occurred to film on that day. Tho
words used in his narratives often
varied, but he always had the events as
ho had mentioned them before.

WAS PHILOSOPHER.
A BEGGAR STUDENT OF HUMAN NA
TURE WHO HAD A SYSTEM.
Mendicancy Carried Out Upon Practical
Lines Why IIo Avoided tho IUch Stood
Outside a Itcstaurnnt, but Never Hcgsed
From a Hungry Looking Man.
Ho was a wretched looking chap, so
thinly clad that ho was really an object
cf pity. He had sought a secluded cor
ner at tho entrance of a cheap restaurant
near Herald square, and for awhilo it
Ecomud as if ho had chosen tho spot
meroly to escape tho chilling blasts of
tho cutting wind. Many men passed
into tho place, but ho spoko to none.
Finally ono who had just completed his
meal came forth. The man started for
ward, hesitated a moment and then re
sumed his former position. Soon another
man, apparently in a great hurry, camo
from the restaurant, buttoning his coat
as he walked. In a moment tho poor
fellow stood in tho way and barely had
ho uttered his request for help when ho
was rewarded with a dime.
A moment later a group of young
men in very high spirits passed into the
restaurant. To an ordinary student they
would havo been just tho right men to
approach for alms, but the beggar saw
them not. It was only to certain men
returning to tho street that ho mado
himself known. It was but tho work of
a moment to pick an acquaintance with
tho fellow, aud when ho found I was
interested ho talked freoly of his plan.
"I had to do a good deal of thinking
about it when I first started in," he
said. "I can't get work now, and when
I havo work I can only keep at it for a
little while on account of rheumatism.
When I saw I had to beg, I thought I
might as well do it right cr not at all.
If you know anything about men's faces
aud clothes, you don't have to do any
gceaswork at all. I can tell long before
I get near a man what my chances are
with him, aud if I don't think that it's
ten to one I will get something I don't
try him, for there's no goo 1 in wearing
yourself out and getting common. Somo
fellows go along the strett and try to
touch i very well dressed man they meet
They couldn't do anything worse, for
everybody sses what they're doing and
knows they are professionals and steers
clear cf them. Tho only time to go up
against well dressed men as a straight
thing, without regard to their faces, is
when they are full and feeling happy
over it.
"The average well dressed man or
woman is tho hardest kind of a person
to hit. TJjy do lets for charity, bat it's
in a different way societies, schools
for kids, kindergartens and missions
and they think they aro doing enough.
If any one hits them on tho street, they
pat them down for a professional. Yon
have got to judge the well dressed peo
ple by their faces and general manner
and let their clothes connt for nothing.
"Whenivcr I have to do any street
work, I always select tho people of the
lower middle classes, who don't put on
any front women especially. I mean
peoplo who live comfortably, but haven't
got any too much money to spare. Say,
yoa may think I'm stringing you, but I
would rather havo ono nickel from cue
of them than a quarter from a fellow
who could stand it aud had it to burn.
Funny, but I feel just as sentimental
about that sometimes as if I was earn
ing it, and I would earn it if I had tho
chance.
"Xow, you tako this struid of mino
hero today. There's three men who gave
mo something two nickels and a dime.
I have been hero half aa hour and I'vo
only struck five men. I missed two.
Well, three out of five don't look like
bad guesswork, if you want to call it
so, does it? This is the cheapest res
taurant in tho neighborhood. There's
tho Imperial, Marlborough and all tho
other big hotel restaurants I conld
havo taken, bnt I'll bet I wouldn't havo
got a thing from tho peoplo who camo
i from any of them. Tho men who go in
here don't pay over 23 or 30 cents for
: what they eat, and I'm willing to tako
j my chances with them right along.
; "I always wait till a man comes out.
' Somo peoplo think it ought to bo the
other way, for tho reason that a man
j who was hungry would bo more apt to
' givo out of sympathy for the man who
was hitting him for money for some
thing to eat. Cut I didn't figure it out
that way. You see, these are pretty
hard times, aud there's more people in
hard luck than thero over was before.
Now, it's bad enough to bo ia hard
i luck, but it's worse yet to bo hungry,
and when n man is up against both
games little things will bother him that
wouldn't affect him at all if ho had his
stomach full. I reason that pretty near
ly every man who comes in here is eith
er in hard luck or elso ho is a miser
who don't want to spend anymore than
is actually necessary. If it wasn't so,
you know they wonld all go to the big
restaurants in tho hotels, for yoa know
as woll as I do that tho right kind of a
man likes good things to eat aud nice
clean servico if ho can afford it.
"Well, lam onto tho misers, and 1
leavo them alone. When tho decent
man comes out, ho ft. els better for hav
ing had his dinner. Ho is ready for
business, and lifo is a great deal bright
er to him than it was half au honr be
fore. I ask him to help me. IIo says to
himself: 'Well, I feel pretty good. This
fellow is in worse luck than I am. 1
know what it is to feel hungry. I won't
miss tho nickel very much,' and then I
get it. When ho hands it tome, ho feels
better for it, and he looks it, too, aud if
ho has been doing things that are not
quite up to tho limit ho consoles him
self with tho fact that he ain't such a
bad fellow alter all. And ho ain't eith
er. So yon ee there's two of us happy,
and if 1 hero was more of it thu world
would lie happier. Thanks, Li... '

Bob Ilinman.
The Ashland Valley Record has given
Cob Ilinman quite an extensive notice
in its issue of the 3rd inst. It has doubt
Iesa been furnished copious data by
some one from Douglas, who ha3 an ax
to grind. Tho Record eaya :
"Bob'a fir3t crime that brought him
! araeniable to the law occurred about a
I year ago when a warrant was out for his
Jarreet for pulling a gun on woman.
j Deputy SherifTShambrcok went to arrest
htm" so far correct "but Ilinman,"
bo reads the account, "pulled his gun on
Shambrook in such a convincing man
ner that the deputy sheriff danced to
Hinman's music while Ilinman told him
to go home, that he was not to he taken
in that manner, and Shambrook ze
returned without his man."
This last statement is false. Sham
brook did arrest Hiaman and brought
him in. There was no polling a gun on
the deputy ncr dancing to Hinman's
raujis. Hinman danced to Shambrook'a
fiddling.
