TourIi Truths Gathered from Various
Neirspapors.
A dog'a skull in which were
two $20 gold pieces and some small
pieces of silver was found by
Willie McKnight near tho Kockdalc
paper mills on last Sunday evening,
lie was out walking and in crossing
n gully found the skull.
William Peachy found a fox in a
florry predicament the other day. Tho
iniiiml was frozen stiff, with its head
f.tst in a hollow tree. It is supposed
that the fox had been chasing a rab
bit and the latter took refuge in the
tree; that the fox in his greed for
gore had thrust its head in the aper
ture so far as to be unable to nxtricate
it.
The other evening one of our sports
men camo home with a string of
.s!iij)c. Pussy followed and watched
the snijie hung up by tho kitchen
door. She then climbed up and tried
to break tho string, but it was too
Mout. Disappearing for a short while
sihe returned in company with a large
Thomas, and their united work
brought the string to the ground.
Thej' were then divided, each eat tak
ing three and leaving one extra,
which both were determined lo have.
Finally it resolved into a pitched bat
tle, and the Thomas cat was knocked
out in the first round. Tabby de
parted with the four birds, landing
them in good order at her owner's
door, fully a block away from the
scene of the raid.
Some men hunting on Black river,
in the Great Swamp near the South
Carolina line, killed a black tiger six
feet long. The animal died hard,
after killing two dogs, and one of tho
hunter's had a narrow escape. An
other tiger of the same species of
equal size has been killed in Samp
son County. It had killed a cow,
several sheep and a colt. It is be
lieved that these tigers are those
which escaped from ltobinson's cir
cus near Portsmouth, Va., last sum
mer. Cold in Michigan! Well, some,
but cold weather is good for lota of
purposes. The curiousest thing cold
weather's good for is stocking fish
ponds." "Stocking fish-ponds?"
"Thet's so. Down to Saginaw bay
the fishermen catch pickerel and
sturgeon. Quick es they pulls em'
out they hangs 'em up to" freeze. In
about an hour's exposure to the at
mosphere them fish is froze cs hard
es china. Sometimes they get too
brittle and break all in pieces. They
carries these fishes off to their inland
homes, an' when spring comes they
thaw 'em out gradual. When they

"Signs of life!"
"Yes, two hours of luke warm
watet'll make 'em lively es crickets
then they restores th'cm to their
native element and all goes lovely.

A dead silence settled over tho
crowd like the hush of a tired buzz
saw. Three Millions Lost at Cards.
Down on thoComstock Bill Gibson
lost in two nights at poker just $15,
000 $9,400 the first night and $5,G00
the next. The work of those two
nights, by the way, cost him a huge
fortune. He had just got a sure
pointer on Crown Point, which was
then selling at $7 or $8, and had
started down town to give an order
for as much as $15,000 cash in hand
would cover. On his way he stepped
into his houso and found the bo
waiting for him to open a poker game.
Tho result was that ho sat down to
play with them for a little white, took
a header in bad luck, and dropped
his cash, entirely forgetting the
pointer that had been given him.
Crown Point went up to $1,900, so
that Gibson, if he had carried out
his original intention, would have
cleared anywhere hetween $3,000,
000 and $4,000,000.
Not If She Knot? It,
During a recent trial before a Chi
cago justice of tho peace one of the
witnesses was a buxom negress who
easily filled the generous depths of
an armchair. Upon the conclusion
of the direct examination the attorney
for tho plaintiff turned her over to the
counsel on the other side, with the
remark :
'You can liave the witness.
"Not much ho can't," indignantly
protested the saddle-colored damsel.
"Ise engaged ter Sam Joltnsing, I
wants yer ter understan', an' I doan'

"Is it true, Nellie, that you are go
ing to give up your lessons in china
decoration and learn to wash and
iron? How can you think of doing
anything so horridly common?"
"Yes, it is really true. I thought
it would astonish you."
"But why do you do it?"
"Well, you know how hard it is to
get satisfactory work dono at tho
laundry, and mother's growinfr
old!"
"Marriages a specialty; acceptable
at all hours; strangers particularly

Lincoln's Law Partner.
Leonard Swett, the old law partner
f Abraham Lincoln, is still practic
ig law in Chicago, and he stands, I
.;m told, at the head of the bar of the
west. He was, during Lincoln's life,
his most intimate friend and confi
dential adviser. Many times Lincoln
called him to Washington to talk
over matters which he did not dare
to trust to others, and to take advan
tage of Swett's hard sense. Several
weeks before tho emancipation pro
clamation was issued, a friend of, Mr.
Swett's tells me, Mr. Swett received
a despatch to como to Washington at
once. He did so, and went directly
to the White House. President Lin
coln received him with open arms,
and took him into his private room
and shut the door. He then took a
letter from his pocket and read it to
Mr. Swett. It was a petition signed
by Lloyd Garrison and a number of
other abolitionists urging the procla
mation of emancipation. It was a
strong paper and enforced its ideas
with the best arguments that could
bo made for them. After he had
concluded it Mr. Lincoln took out
another letter, which he told Mr.
Swett was written by a patriotic and
liberty loving Swiss. This letter,'
which he read, presented just as
strongly the other side of the ques
tion, and urged him as he hoped to
save the Union not to drive the bor
der States, now practically neutral,
into the confederacy by such an act.
The President then took up the whole
subject, and went over its even- jioint
to Mr. Swett. He did not decide in
favor of either side, nor did he ask
Mr. Swett's advice. After lie had
finished he dismissed the subject and
talked of other matters. The next
day Swett went back to Illinois. Tho
President had merely called him here
for the purpose of having a talk with
one whom he knew ho could trust,
lie had already decided upon the
emancipation, and had at this time,
it is said, his proclamation written.
"It was Swett and Judge David
Davis," continued this gentleman,
"who did more to secure the nomin
ation of Lincoln in 1SG0 than any
other two men in the country. Mr.
Swett told me the story. Illinois
went into the convention with little
expectation ofc securing Lincoln's
nomination. The delegation had no
heart in their work, and Davis and
Swett wero the only two real workers
in the delegation." They braced up
the others, and 'hoy secured Lincoln's
nomination by promising cabinet
places to other States if they would
vote for Lincoln. Before the conven
tion met they were sure of Illinois
only. As soon as the delegates had
arrived at Chicago they went to the
Indiana delegation and promised In
diana a cabinet place in case Lincoln
was elected, if Indiana would vote
solidly for him on first ballot, and
stick to him thereafter as long as he
seemed to have a chance of being
nominated. The Indiana delegation
consented to the agreement. Ken
tucky was fixed in the same way, and
they then approached Pennsylvania.
Here the trade was more difficult.
Simon Cameron was a candidate, and
he had his State solidly for him. At
last they persuaded Pennsylvania to
go for Lincoln on tho second ballot
with jhe promise that Cameron
should go into the cabinet on his
election. The result was that with
Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky solid
they received enough scattering votes
to rim their total on the first ballot to
102. Seward had 173, and Cameron
50. On the Eecond ballot Pennsyl
vania came in for Lincoln, and it lie
came a close fight hetween Lincoln
and Seward. On the third ballot
Lincoln was nominated.
"After the nomination Davis and
Swett told Lincoln how it was accom
plished, and urged upon him his dut'
as to carrying out the contracts which
they had made. He objected consid
erably to some of them. 'As to In
diana,' said he, 'Caleb B. Smith is a
good man, and I would be glad to
have him in my cabinet. I don't ob
ject to James Speed, of Kentucky,
but I don't know about Simon Cam
eron. Either justly or unjustly,
Cameron has been charged w.ith be
inc accessory to certain jobs, and I
am making this campaign as "honest
old Abe," and I. want to avoid even
the appearance of evil.'
"It was a long time beforo Davis
and Swett could persuade Mr. Lin
coln to say that Canieronshould have
a place, no did so finally and
in the end gave him the war
department. Smith, of Indiana got
the interior, and as to Kentucky, its
part of the spoils was not given until
later in the administration, when
James Speed of that State, was put
in the place of Bates as attorney
general." Something Unprecedented.
"I see," said Flattery, that an olec
trician predicts that soon a person
can stand at a telephone and not only
talk to the man at the other end but
see Ms face and features."
"I hope not," replied Fitzwilliam.
"Why not?"
"Why not? Because when I tele
phone home the person who comes
j to the telephone is generally my
"Oh, well, she may die before this
thing comes about."
"Die 1 Did you ever know amother-in-law
to die so long as a man had
his health and was making money?"
Tho intenso summer heat often
causes a man to get out of patience.
The use of St. Jacobs Oil in cases of
rheumatism would soon cause doctors
to get out of patients.
Xeir Shapes in Cups and Saucers.
Tho latest shape for coffee is
squarc the latest decoration wild
flowers, apparently growing up from
the base of tho cup, all around it.
Tea cups, for 5 o'clock tea, vie with

Fortunately for people who cannot
afford such luxury, the artistic revi
val is manifest in the cheapest wares,
and even earthen jugs and bowls are
no longer ugly. Very pretty sets
may be had quite cheaply, but the
wisest choice for cvCry-day use by
people of small means, is plain white
French china, which, when broken,
may easily bo replaced. With this
may be used any bits of colored glass
or china, which one may possess. A
majolica dish or jug, -bread plate o
salad bowl, gives color at small o
pense, while the gay Russian bo a I
