Major Adams: I thought that 1
would write a few liritfs to let you know
where I am. I am at Olympia and I
miss the Columbian very much, you
bay believe. Now I wish you would
forward it- to me over here, to the first
day of April, and tell me what the bal
ance of the year will be, most likely it
will be over a year somewhat, and I wiil
end you the money by mail, Major.
Now I thought I would write a few
pieced for the paper and you may pub
lish or not as ou see fit.
The Band of Hope is having a great
boom over here, the Band at Moritesaho
have $300 in the treasury. If the Band
of Hope would look at honie and knit
utockings like our farmer's daughters in
the East, and lei Ui Band of Hope a
lone they might become more useful for
Vives for our young men, but as tho case
is now, they can't do anything but walk
tho streets. Now you ought to see the
old women walk the streets and get
their names registered. O dear, they
are so good, they intend to carry the
coming election m favor of prohibition.
If they succeed, w"hich it is to le hoped
they may, then we will liavo an oppor
tunity of knowing what women are ca
pable of dolrig when invested with tha
right of American Citizens. I have al
ready heard -sotoe of thenr. epeak in pub-

from some quarters why they don't stay

Lincoln's early youth was spent in
Spencer county, Ind above Bockpoit,
a beautiful little city crowning the ab
rupt cliffi which frown oyer the Ohio
river. He was faithful and industrious,
hut there was in liim a latent indolence
which, made him fond ot taking his rod
to fish, or, with his gun upon his shoul
der, lie would roam in search of game
oyer the lomj, low hills bursting with .
ted clay, There are living at present sev
eral old citizens who knew Lincoln well at
that time. Ho was thoughtful, and hia
solitary expeditions probably gave jiim
plenty of opportunity to indulge hia
meditative faculties. Tho description
of his appearauoo then his long, lank
legs under an awkward body ; his home
ly face upon wh'ch the prominent nose
etood like a handl ; las long hair dan
gling upon ha shoulders brings up in
stantly the picture of Ichabod Crane ia
tho twilight stealing over the hills of
Slecpv Hollow to pay his court to Frau-
lein Katrina Voa Tassel.
Tho embryo statesman was full of
spirit and fond ot mad pranks. One
qM gentleman of Tkockport lives to tell
of tho last time ho saw Lincoln. He
Was visiting the Lincoln homestead,
and, as he was coming away, they found
a trespassing cow hanging about tho
gate. The cow had given the Lincolna
much annoyiuica by entering their gar
den and committing depredations.
Young Abo ws c-xvwed iu a suit o
jeans, without any coat, as it was sum-,
mer time, and on his head ho wore a
broad-brimmed white straw hat, part of
which was cracked and broken. Find
ing tbo cow standing hypocritically
xnoek at tho gate, young Abo leaped
astride of her bnck, and, digging bis
bare heels into her sides, tho astonished
animal broke away down the road in a
lumber hi g ga'lop. " Tho last I saw ol
Abe Lincoln," the old gentleman relates
fondly, "ho was swinging hia Lat,
shouting at tho top of his voice, gallop,
ing down the road on that thunderstruck
cow."
In the old country church near tho
Lincoln plnco is a pulpit which was
made by Ab Lincoln and his father.

I BU ALL COSTEXIIUXALITIKS,
One of the tests of breeding, it is said,
lies in the use of the knife and foik.
Thirty years ago, in Franco, the use ol
the knife at tlinuer was almost tabooed.
The cuBtoni was to divide the food with
the fork rather an awkward custom, as
forks have generally no cutting edge'
and to aid the act of conveying food to
tho mouth on tho fork by means of a bit
of bread. Long habit makes people
amazingly 6lever about this kind of
thing j and to see a well-cultured
Charleston or Savannah woman loading
her fork with grains of rice, without

In regard to tho little conventionalities

with clean hands, who takes the boiled
rice with extended fingers out of the
well-scrubbed pail and puts it into your
lacquer saucer, does it so well and so
gracefully that you do not call for a

The dangler falls into a habit of drop,
ping iu at all seasons, and, in a short
lime, from bt ing a good-looking -ouug
man, and of tolcrabio address, becomes
a privileged person in the household. If
litre be asy dinner, tea or supper pariy
ho is sure to he put down firat on tho
list, or is thero of his own accord ; and,
from his frequent appearances on auch
occasions, a certain liind of understand,
ing as to his motives prevails among all
descriptions of regular visitors lha
dmgler thus makes himself a speeies of
necessary oWl ia the family. Ife brings
all the lloating small talk of the town to
tho young ladies, speaks to them about
concerts, play actors and preachors :
ha9 a habit of saying "allow me," and
making a motion as if to rise, when any
thing m to be done ; converses on the
prevailing color iu tho new winter
dresses, and leads tho laugh when any
thing droll is mentioned.
S5u h a character acts like a blight on
the fate of a young lady ; for he not only
consumes her valuable- time and dis
tracts her feelings, but prevents real and
modest admirers from znaking advances.
