Tho truth of tlio old proverb, "Better lato than never," appears to havo been illustrated by a striking modern instance, according to an English exchange, which relates that ninety-heven years ago somo person, now unknown by name, posted in Paris a number of The Gazette Univer- 6clle, directing it to "Monsieur X , in Morges, Switzerland," but tho newspa per did not arrive nt its destination until art month. It teems that The Gazette, which had been waiting for delivery over einco January, 1701, had got mixed up with a bundle of other newspapers, uno was found, with its cover and nddres.1 still intact, nmidht a heap of rublrith in ft garret.

There have been mani fold instances of strange and incon venient resemblances between men lead ing to cases of "mistaken identity," and yet probably in overy instance there was somo trifling and overlooked personal trait which distinguished one from tho Other.

Dennis Hanks, cousin and early com-' panion of Abraham Lincoln, still lives, at tho ago of 01, near Charleston, Ills., and tit intervals talks with much anima tion of Lincoln's early life. Though ten years older, ho has long outlived tho martyr president. He gives this ac count of Ilia only visit to Washington: "When I went down to Washington to , see him it wns about a neighbor that had , got into trouble. The folks hero sent mo to speak to Abe about him. It wasdurin' , tho war, and thnr was a lot o' soldiers , around tho White House stickin' their guns In everybody's face. I went to a door tiiar's only one, though I looked 'round fur a back door, thinkiu' to sneak in. A porter stopped me, and asked aa smart: 'Who do yon want to see?' " 'I want to seo Abo Lincoln,' I says. " 'You cim't seo him this time o' day,' lie says as smart. ' " You bet I kin,' I answered him. 'He's not goin' back on Dennis Hanks, his cousin, and tho boy he's rasslcd with, ' if ho is the president. I hain't come here 1 from Illinois to bo told I can't seo Abe i Lincoln.' "Ho grinned and showed mo tho office. There was a lot of fellers waitin', but I waded through 'em and opened tho door, and thar sot Abe, as tall s his own shad der. writin' nt a old desk ho tuk from Illinois. "'Hey!' I hollered. 'You'ro a purty president, ain't you? Git up liyur and shake hands. I ain't after no office yit. Abe.' " 'Well, Dennis, is that you? I'm glad you don't want an office. Most of them do. You've got a big heart, but no head for an office.' Then lie run nnd jt3t geth- cred me in to him like they did in the Bible, and bo I wept ti little so I had to tako my bandanner out. Ho looked kinder tired. When I told him what I wanted In- said: " 'I'm busy today, but I'll get Stanton to fix that up. You go down and Mary will give you something to eat and a shakedown.' "I knowed it was too lino for mo whero Mary was. Sho was a good wo man, but was too highfalutin' for me; so I jist went to a tavern and put up. Next mornin' Abo had a lot of papers for my case and toltV mo to tako 'em to Stanton. " 'Abo,' says I, 'blamed if I know whero tho plagueoncd place is.' So he called a feller and sent tho papers, and pretty soon Mr. Stanton come lookin' like a jaybird in a spike tailed coat, and snarled about them papers', but Abo got him to sine 'em. lie acted so ugly that when ho went out I said: " 'Abe, if l'sas big as you I would tako that little feller over my knee and spank him.' Abe, ho laughed and said he guessed Stanton was a bigger man than ho wits in somo respects. 1 came homo then and tho next spring Abo was Hhot. "I heard of it this n way. I was sit ting iu my shop puggin' away at a shoe when a man came iu and said: 'Dennis, Honest Abo is dead!' " 'Dead, dead. Old Abo dead,' I kep sayin to myself. 'My God, it ain't so!" I went out to seo Sairy whero sho lived ! all alone after Tom died, and said, 'Grandmother, Abo's dead.' 'Yes, I know, says sho. 'I've ben n waitin' fur it. I knowed they'd kill him,' and she never nsked any questions. A body'd a thought tho earth stopped whirliu' fur a few days, lite way everybody went on. It was like, even hero in Charleston, like a black cloud that covered tho sun." Tho dim old eyes became blurred by tho sad memory. Exchange. Ten l'iim In lluwiili. It was a unique game of ten pins 1 was wont to play in those days. Small natives Hwannod like bees whenever 1 went abroad; you bee, I was tho one haoli or foreigner who had unlimited leisure, and they knew not at what mo ment it might suit my fancy to embark upon nonio erratic expedition such as they delighted in. At u moment's notice I could command a troop of horso worthy of an outlaw chief, if I retired to the billiard hall to amuse myself with the light and airy cue, tho windows and doors commanding tho four sides of the table were certain to bo darkened with a cloud of witnesses. Hut I am forgetting tho ten pins. Thcro was a small Kanaka for overy pin, and one for each ball. Thoso in somo mysterious way hung upon the wall at tho far and fatal end of tho howl ing alley, at tho imminent peril of life and limb. Whenever I inndo a ten strike, which I positively did occasion ally, it was invariably received with a deafening round of cheers not omitting tho "tiger," Hut still I was not happy, for I always feared to Hud tho alley, after thoatmosphero hud cleared a little, strewn with Hawaiian slain.
