"Oatli's" Ner Vork letter lu The Enquirer.
I was introduced at Haratoa to a gentle
ma n by the name of Milton Hay, who was
said to bavo been A bra am Lincoln's very
near friend, and to abound in reminiscences
of him. Mr. Hay was a singular man, origi
nally fine looking, I suppose, and still of a
pleading, generous fnce, tlionh Lin skin had
the dark tan color bo often found in the bot
toms of the Mississippi valley, especially
among persons of Kentucky descent, as I
understood ho was. An opportunity oc
curreI whilo returning to this city from
Saratoga to have some talk with Mr. Hay.
Kaid I, "You knew Mr. Lincoln very welir
"Yes, before he was made president of the
United States I knew him almost as well as
anybody. AVo were of the same general stock.
I liked him, and was glad to be in his com
pany." "Can you give me an idca,n said I, "of Mr.
Lincoln's voice that voice which none can
hear again, and which but few Lad the privi
lege of hearing?"
"I do not know enough about music," said
Mr. Hay, "to describe that voice exactly. I
hardly know whether it was a tenor voice or
not. It was pitched a little high. It was not
entirely pleasant to hear, particularly after
he had proceeded some time in his speech. It
was a reacliing voice with pathos in it, but it
was high pitched."
"What was the color of Mr. Lincoln's eyes;
were they brown T'
"Well, now, I should say," said Mr. Hay,
"that he had a kind of grayish-blue, eye, but
do you know I never looked at that matter
closely. I was under the influence of his eyes
and did not analyze them. I think, however,
that ho bad a light eye."
"Was h a man who laughed out loudf"
"Yes, ho was as hearty a laugher as ever
you heard. When he would get off bis stories
he would laugh when be came to the point,
and his laugh was as infectious as the story
had lieen sharp. Now," said Mr. Hay, "it
has been denied recently by somo distin
guished men that Lincoln told stories off
color. There is no use of gilding the lily or
painting the rose. Lincoln did tell many a
story which I have heard that was what
might be called smutty. He did not tell
them for the sake of the smut or the coarse
ness, but to illustrate his point, and no stories
that ever I heard were so cogent to that end.
I recollect," said Mr. Hay, "that after he
hal been nominated for president allega
tion of Methodist ministers concluded to pay
him a visit. He received them in very gol
style. He got the gaugo of them very
quickly, and he could no; resist the inclina
tion to try tho brethren with a good yarn,
and my recollection of it was that it was a
little bit fragrant."
"Did he invent any of tbae stories, Mr.
Hay?"
'No, I don't think he did. He picked them
up among the homely common people with
whom be had lived so long, in tho woods, at
the country store, on the flat boat, in"the leg
islature and around the court-houses. He had
an extraordinary memory of stories. He
also bad gratitude to the man who could tell
him a good new story. I recollect on one oe--asion
that someone who bad told him a first
rate story went into the rebellion, and Lin
coln, telling the yarn that the man told him,
-aid to us: 'If I ever catch that fellow fight
ing the Union I think will let him off a good
part of his share of any punishment he may
ct on account of that story. ' He took of
fence at Horace Greeley when be came to
lecture in our town for saying in the lecture
: hat he thought humor was a very small part
:f ability. Lincoln somewhat admired
Greeley, but he concluded, after hearing
that statement, that Greeley did not know as
much about human nature as ho had sup
posed. He expressed his dissatisfaction with
that particular view of Greeley after the
lecture. "When Lincoln told these stories,"
said Mr. Hay, "he would almost always rise
from his seat and give the ancedote or the
best part of it standing, and then, when he
come to the point, he would perhaps fan hu
nands and bend with laughterv"
"When you say he was a cosmopol itan do
you mean that he was not a sectional man?"
"Yes, I mean that Lincoln recognized bis
fellow-citizens in every corner of this coun
try. He had been to New Orleans. He had
been to New York. He could get along any
whare. He was not a local patriot. He was
a general patriot."
"Is it true that he wa a man of certain
sadness or melancholy?"
"Yes, I think it is. He had a disposition at
times to take a forlorn view of himself and
of human nature and of man's situation in
space. These fits did not annoy his friends,
but seemed to bo a kind of inward depres
sion." "Is it true, as Mr. Herndon says, that Lin
coln was for a part of his life rather an unbe
liever or a skepticf
"Yes, guess that is true," said Mr. Hay,
"almost all serious men pass through a con
dition of belief to skepticism, or vice versa.
Unbelief is merely the passion to believe
something else. I think that Lincoln had
formed views different from those he bad
been brought up in, and perhaps different
from those he died in, because I do not see
bow he could have made some of the speeches
be made as his presidency proceeded, unless
be had been a believing man, and in that case
be must have changed. Perhaps the great re
sponsibilities thrown upon him mode him
grope his way toward a supreme responsibil
ity." "What author did Lincoln most read?"
"Burns was his favorite author for many
years. I have never seen that mentioned any
where. Lincoln did not read many books,
but those be fancied took strong possession of
him. He could quote Burns by the hour. I
have been with him in that little office and
beard him recite with the greatest admiration
and zest Burns' ballads and quaint things.
That was one of the sources of his wisdom
and his wit. As years passed on be did not
quote Burns so much. He had then taken tip
Shakespeare and became deeply interested in
him. and yet I fancy," said Mr. Hay, "that a
great deal of Abraham Lincoln is bottomed
on Robert Burns and William Shakespeare.
Sometimes I think I can see the traces of both
men in his writings. When 3'ou consider the
bringing up of Lincoln, what a writer he
was! The Anglo-Saxon seemed to come to
Liui as if he had been taught by some Anglo
Saxon mother iu her own land centuries &zo.
The poets undoubtedly had their influence on
Lincoln s style and probably ou his mind."
"How was Lincoln as a lawyer, Mr. Hayf
"He was not a deep lawyer, a jurist. In
the trial of a case where he might be re
tained with men of more grasp or reach iu
the law, he would perhaps sit down and lis
ten to their speeches and say nothing at alL
But be had a genius to see the truth, and an
honest way of reasoning a thing out before
jury, and therefore he mad ( a respectable
living for hu time and place at the bar
end was considered a safe counselor, a
true man to retain, and an upright man to
fight against without mounting into the
high places at the bar. He rather lived in
the realm of morals and politics than in that
of pure law.''

T. TL Sullivan, in Life
Augustus saw Alice one morning
By accldf nt over tho way
And smitten without any warning,
lYoposed, and they marry1, to -day.
And Alfrwl and Agatha meeting
By accident, quit', at tho play,
Were caught at the very first greeting,
And nro to be married to-day.
Had A!fml, now, chanced to meet Alice,
In just that original way.
I'll wager, without any malice.
That they would have married bxlay.
Had A pat ha walked for an airing
In Alice's shoes let us say,
Augustine might now have lieen swearing
To love and defend her alway.
Ah! blind little god of the quiver,
Thy wings ever flutter astray!
To think of thy sport U to shiver 1
Tby arrows Ily all the wrong way!
For Alfred and Agatha matej
No more than a season shall stay.
Augustus and Alice are fated
To wrangle their wedlock away.
Abl blind littlo god, if thy blindne&j
Should lead thee to flutter my way.
Uncover thine eyes in all kindness,
And kill ma in mercy. I prayl
A FOREST FIRE.
A PasHenser Train Ietalncd by
Tornado of llittnlnc and Itoariuje
Flames.
"Andrews" in Chicago Inter Ocean.
Last night we had a glimpse of the inferno.
We had left Montana to cross Idaho, when,
at about 9 o'clock, the train came to a stop
without a moment's warning in the midst of
a wilderness. We hastened to the platform
and looked forward. There was spread out
a panorama such as seldom greets tho eye of
man. The forest was one mass of seething
flame. The engine panted a time or two,
and then, gathering courage, crept nearer. A
few hundred yards, and it again came to
a standstill. It was impossible to pass.
Tbe heat made tbe paint on the cars crack.
Tho glass of the windows grew feverish un
der the heated breath from the Ore. There
was, amid all tbe glare, the roar of ap ap
proaching tornado, crackling and popping
like a giant's whip. This was accompanied
by a hissing like tbe sound of frying salt, as
the gmen foliage of the living pines was con
sumed with a white flash. This roaring and
crackling and snapping, terrible as it was,
only set off the grand accompaniment of fall
ing trees. Every nve seconds a giant, with
the strength of a score of centuries, meas
ured his 200 feet across the tlery bod to which
he had boen felled. He stood till seared to
the core, and his hoary top was crowned with
lire. As be yielded the mountains rolled back
the liooming of cannon from one height to
the other.
We hold our breath and craze at the sky,
overcast with leaden smoke, tinted here and
there with a rosy hue. Tho crashing of the
falling giants is still for a moment. The fire
breaks through tbe gloom of the forest in a
new place. The flames go racing like de
mons up tall trees and quiver lu their tops
like ruddy lanterns for a moment. The foli
age melts away with the first hot breath and
then tbe crashing and booming goes on again.
For the moment the rush and crackle is
drowned and the very craigs of the mountain
side soe.ni to be rolling upon us from their
seats far above our heads.
We ask the conductor when we can go
on. He says two hours. Long piles of wood
stored all about tbe track have caught fire
and scores of Chinamen with long poles in
their hands are hurried up from the nearest
station to save the track from ruin.
Two hours pass and still tbe infernal pan
demonium of hissing, roaring, crackling,
booming, crashing, devastation goes on. The
conductor and enginoer are afraid to go on.
They fear the heat will fire our train. Should
it yield to tho first spark it would melt away
like tinder in a furnace.
For over four hours wo watched the

Kenned Conversation Where Xo One

Boston Transcript.
(Enter Thomas and Charles.
Thomas and Charles "Good evening, la
dies." Kate "How do, Charley, Tom? Where
have 3-ou been this age?"
Josephine "Sure enough! Henry Brown
was in just now. Did you meet him!"
Thomas "Hen is a great fellow, ain't he?
Did he give you a lecture on metem psychosis
or a dissertation on frogs' legs as a remedy
for the unsettled condition of tbe labor mar
ket r'
Kate "Oh, Tom ! you're too hard on Henry.
You should't have said that before mamma.
But his conversation is a little tedious some
times."
Charles "Hen's a muff."
Josephine "What's the news!"
Thomas "Aint any. Charley who wan
that girl you was so sweet on in the car's after
noon!"
Charles "Didn't I mash her, though!"
Josephine "Ob, you naughty boy!"
Thomas "Charley gets the bulge on all of
us."
Charles "Where did you get those cigar

Thomas "Got 'em in New York. Can't
get a decent cigarette in Boston. Have tried

Charles "Who beat's this afternoon!"
Thomas "The Long Stockings six tf

Charley "Good-by, girls."
Kate and Josephine "Good-by. Should

Josephine "What a splendid conversation
alist." Kate "Ob, yes; Tom can talk on any sub
ject." Josephine "He Isn't much like Henry."
Kate "No, I hope not No matter what
comes up, Tom's never lost for a word. He's
so entertaining. And th?u one learns so much
talking with him."
Business Sense and Cents.
New York Sun. '
Nashville is agitating the cent question.
Tbe smallest coin in circulation in that city
is the 5-cent piece, and shopkeepers are be
ginning to see the folly of keeping out the
once despised cent. One dry goods merchant
estimates bis losses at f 1 to $ a day ou ac
count of failure to make exact change. An
other merchant is going to use postal cards in
making change if tbe cents do not come into
favor. A retail dealer has ordered $100
worth of cents from this city, and proposes to
start the reform at once.
Room for a Sew Society.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
A suggestion was recently made from the
pulpit that there was room for a new society,
which should teach husband and wife their
duty to each other. Such an organization
would bo usefql only in the event of branch
societies, consisting of two members each, be
ing formed in families consisting solely or
principally of married couples. The first arti
cle of the constitution should be that any per
son applying for membership should solemnly
covenant and agree that throughout married
life ho or sho would carefully observe and
practice all courtesy, thoughtfulness and un
selfishness to what is known as the "engage
ment" period. The second article should be
that neither member of a conjugal parter-
ship should listen to a single word of criti
cism of tbe other member from soy relative
hatever, even should the words of wisdom
drop from the lips of father, mother, brother
or sister: Tho rules of the new society need
not extend beyond tbese two, for there would
be nothing iu the conduct of members in
good standing to rcquira other special attoni
tian.
Fashions in Buttons.
inter-Ocean.
Buttons are legion, Varying from the simp
lest to tbo&e as costly as ge mi Ttuwe are
Imported lately of oxidized silver, old
bronze, and silver gilt. One of tho new
Styles in Persian design on old bronze again,
shows the fire-worshi jxrs in high relief light
ing tbo torch. Somo oxidized silver sets,
tinted in dull Khadcs of open work, show
clusters of tinted strawberries and vines in
relief. Another style of silver gilt has silver
dolphins sporting on a hammered surface.
Some exquisite heads in cameo bave a back
ground of a different shade in contrast.
Some large buttons in sets, including several
sizes, are in oxidized silver with ojeu centi-es,
which are filled in by a tiny Bacchus wreathed
vine leaves, or an Ariel swinging in grape
vines. There are, besides, historical as well
as mythological studies represented in dull,
oxidized silver, cameo bends of Atalanta,
Hector, Leandcr, Hero and I'rism on copper,
silver or dark bronze grounds. Some artistic
styles of concave shape in dark iridescence
are decorated with gold stars in high relief.
Another set of the same style has a decoration
exquisitely carved of daisies and cat tails.
Very dark pearl buttons, convex, are deco
rated with fine gold and silver branches of
delicate elaboration. Not loss costly aro
some sets with open centres filled in with
deer of tinted dark silver; tho borders are
engraved with fine foliage and antlers. Some
silver gilt grounds show a decoration of a
mirror-like steel creseut and stars. To cor
respond with the superb jet trimmings there
are jet buttons generally of small size in ball,
pyramid, cone, flat shape, cut in facet or
simply polished. For mourning materials
black ivory buttons are used flat or raided
and set with an edge of fine beading.
Ireas and Womanhood.
Cor. Milwaukee SentineL
Women who ba'e control of sufficient
means and the inclination to spend it on
dress are few in number. While possessed
of a larger liberty of choice, they are usu
ally governed by a more refined and experi
enced taste, and by certain conventional
ideas which are scarcely known, much less
fully recognized beyond tbe limits of a cir
cle. There is another class possessing money
and making a larger capital out of the ab
sence of scruples and a restrictive delicacy,
and of this are the women who usually stand
as the representatives of fashion, whose ex
travagance and sensationalism, fed by a doubt
ful class of men, are made tbe synonyms of
American womanhood. This false estimate
is all tbe more hurtful and mischievous be
cause it effects the minds of young girls and
furnishes them with a bad example, when
they need a high ideal, lowering their stand
ard below the average when they should bo
inspired by every possible influence to raise
it to a higher level. Notwithstanding all
drawbacks, however, the actual science of
dress is gaining; tho survival of the fittest
helps here as in what are considered more
important matters. There are constant ad
ditions to the stock of permanent ideas, and
the "revivals" which frequently take place
are in tbe line of that which has adapted
Itself to tho general requirements rather than
of folly, eccentricity and extravagance.
The Adornment of Children.
Providence Journal.
There is nothing more beautiful than the
children of these dayj as they appear out of
doors and in the parlor. They toil not,
neither do they spin; yet Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like ono of them. In
one sense this is a public benefaction. It is
not only the eyes of the parents and friends
that are gratified with tho spectacle of tho
fresh young faces in all the bloom of child
hood, and the lissom or tenderly toddling
forms set off with a quaintness, a brightness,
and an elegance of attire that add to the grace
and beauty, and make them figures of delight
and charm. They are a blessing and a pleas
ure to all who see them, adding to the con
tentment of the fortunate, and, save where
vividly recalling a loss with a momentary
pang of recollection, softening the stings of
misery and despair. Uncharitableness,
greed, and the whole brood of evil passions,
the absorptions of occupations, and anxiety,
and all that makes life unlovely and painful
must yield somewhat to the presence and
sight of childhood, and they are a blessing of
nature, as the flowei-s are, softening, reliev
ing, and renewing the heart of man. They
were certainly never so finely, artistically,
and eleguntly dressed as now.
The Two Extreme.
Laramie Boomerang.
We overheard two ycung ladies the other
evening discussing whether or not love is suffi
cient capital on which to vod. The girls
have forgotten the story of the knights and
the shield. A loveless marriage is the poorest
of enterprise, the poverty of which cannot be
overcome by all the wealth that was ver
coined. On the other hand, the man who
weds with the expectation of living on love
alone without the necessity of rustling tor
pork and beans, will find himself the worst
fooled individual in the community.
What Dealers Will Xot Believe.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
It is always difficult to make ilealtrs iu or
makers of womens' clothing believe that any
idea can obtain a permanent place. They
know nothing of the laws of development,
and that, no matter how greatly retarded
by ignorance and stupidity, its action is in
evitable, even in so yliit'ting- and so changeful
an arena as that occupied by modern dress.
They particularly dislike the advent of useful
ideas as these mean less money spent -ind less
dependence upon their authority.
i eftil Itiqt.
Mary Winchester in Good Cbeur,
If you are to spend the evening out in com
pany or at an entertainment, it is good policy
to take a nap, or at least a thorough rest dur
ing the afternoon. Care like this, whica
seems to be but trifling, to preserve the
health, really maks a great difference in the
aggregate of one's life.
Keep a dish of Indian meal on tbe toilet
stand near the soap, and rub the meal freely
on the hands after soaping them for washing.
It will surprise you, if you have not tried it,
to find how it will cleanse and soften the skin,
and prevent chapping.
It is better not to put woolen carpets in the
closets, as being dark and quiet moths and
other vermlns are more apt to collect Straw
matting or oil cloth is much more easily kept
in order. Even heavy brown WTapping paper
is not a bad substitute for a caipet in closets
but little used.
Make a small square bag of flannel, leaving
one end partly open. In this put all the rem
nants of soap as the pieces become too small
to handle easily. When the bag is filled,
baste up the opening, and it makes a good
bath tub urrangement.
Pet Xanien at Heine and Abroad.
Christian Intelligencer.
Far from disliking pet names in the nursery
or in the retirement of the family, they seem
to us very fit and beautiful there, but there
they should be kept. Outside acquaintances
have no right to call a young girl Sis, or
Pussy, or Birdie, or Pearl, or auy other pretty
or affectionate name which may be given her
by her father and mother, brothers and
sisters.
Wives, too, seem lacking in the reverence
which all true women and high-bred ladies
show to their lords, when they seak of them
in society as Ned, Tom or Dick. - Nor does a
husband pay his wife the honor which every
gentleman chould, wheu be alludes to ber in
a roomful of strangM or acquaintances as
Polly or Fan. It is very much better to , be
found too formal than too free and easy; and
society is the gainer wherever people are on
their guard about these seeming trifles.
It is in the power of a few women, in any
community, to elevate the tone of tbe place,
and to niako good manners fashionable, by
sjmply setting an example of careful atten
tion to them iu their own practice, and e urg
ing the same from their own families,
