for the corn palace are arriving now

in the palace are very diliicult to be
beat. Nebraska is making a great ef
fort, it is coneeeded, to secure the first
prize and ii now looks as if she would
secure it. Strangers from a large num

A Ilv'ly Imagination.
Some) years no a newspaper man with
lively imagination went upon a trip. I think
he pr.M his way, wildly improbable as tl.-at
may seem to be, because cither tho newspaper
business must have fallen oil in its emolu
ments Ir.tcly, or lie must le lyinj liko all who
i'.'.'-re. There were not so many peojilo
ab'u; the place then, and it was not so easy a
trip, hi tho party was a bright young mar
rie.l 1 .-iy, who hail also a great deal of fun in
her. Tim two put up a job that what either
of the-ni saw in t'ue shape's of tho crass and
pe::Us in the clouds, or anything else, tLo other
was to indorses it and say "How lovely F or
"I.sn't it weird?" or something liko that. Tho
charm worked.
uDo you seo that rock? Isn't it the exact
picture of an iniraenso chariot? And just look
if that dixjiift lrok liko a horso of gigantic
proportions drawing it?"
"It is. How grand it is."
"Where is iti" from all tho passengors.
"There; why, don't you seo it ? You sco it.
Mrs. Smith, don't you?"
"Very plainly. It's exactly liko it."
Then one by one the others would begin to
re'cogniae it, or swear they did. Tho number
of those singular resemblances kept growing
until the two began really to seo things that
could not by any possibility bo distorted emt
of tho landseape, and finally tho jokogot thin.

Vso of tho Paragraph.
It is easily possible to overdo paragraph
ing. Tho moro experienced writers aro
especially liable to this sin, mainly because
they imagine that it adds to the effectiveness
of their compositions. Certainly it does at
tract attention for a time. The trick of tho
types deceives us into tho belief that in tho
multitude of paragraphs a multitude of sub
jects, or new views of subjects, will bo
brought out. We turn to this kind of writ
ing against spaco with the spaeo coming out
a good deal ahead with lively interest; but
it turns to speedy disgust when wo find the
lines even moro empty of ideas than of let
ters. Paragraphing every sentwnee gives tho
thought, where there is any, much such a
jerky motion as a rider would get on a horso
adieted with springhalt, or stringhalt, as it
is often called.
The proper use of a paragraph is to make
thought go forward. Tho springhalt stylo
simply makes it bob up and dewn and go for
ward very slowly. Io reasonable being can
long write rational thought in this manner
without danger of losing what reasoning
faculties he had. This jerky stylo of mak
ing paragraphs of every sentence we have
borrowed from tho French. Perhaps it may
bo in that people one of the fearful results of
a too exclusive diet on frogs' hind legs. It
has certainly increased in this country much
in the same proportion that eating frogs Las
become fashionable. William J. Fowler in

LINCOLN'S CELEBRATED PHRASE.
'Jfo JIailo no 1'i-Hcnso of Originality in
Hi Matter," Saji Ward II. Lar.ion.
For uMng, in his Gettysburg s;eeeh, tho
Celebrated phrase "t'uo government of't!r
Tx-Ople, ly tho people, and for t;o pe'.p:.)
chall not perish from the earth," Mr. Linet.ln
has leen subjected to hruUil ci itiei-.in as well
as the most groundless flattery. Some have
bi-en baso enough t-i insinuate against that
great an 1 sincere man tho crime of willful
plagiarism; others have useribed to liito tho
honor of originating the phrase entiro. There
is injustice to him in ciiher view of tho cam.
I jk rsonally know t li.tt Mr. Lincoln made no
pretense of originality in tho matter, nor was
lie conseious of having appropriated tho
thought or the words of any other man.
If ho be subject to 1 ho charge of plagiar
ism, so is the givat AVebsti r, who used sul
ftantially tho "same phrase in his celebrated
reply to llayno. F.aeh may have aeijuire I
tho peculiar form of expression (tho thought
itself being as old as tho republican idea of
government) by tho process known us uncon
scious appropriation. Certain it is that
licit her AVobster nor Lincoln originated tho
phrase. Let us see how the ca: stands:
In tho preface to the old Wick! i lie llible,
published A. I). l.';:2l, is the following declara
tion: "Ti i.s llible is for tho government of
tho people, by the people and for tho people,"
which language) is identical with that em
ployed by Mr. Lincoln in his Gettysburg
speech. In an address before t he New England
nnti-slavery conventiein in boston, May 'J'.l,
lsr.0, Theodore I'arker defined U moerney as "a
government of all the people, by all the pe"p!e,
tor all the people of course1." !iubstanti.:!ly
the same phraso was use-d by Judge Joel
I'arker in the Massachusetts constitutional
convention in Is'.V!. A elistinguisiied diplo
mat has acquainted me with the singular fact
that almost the identical phrase employed by
Mr. Lincoln was us,.d in (mother language,
by a pe rson "whoso existence even was not
prebably known to Mr. We bster, tho Park
ers or Mr. Lincoln, and who certainly did not
borrow it from them." On page '.', of a work
entitled "Geseliie:ht.o eler Selnve izeriscii' ii
Regeneration von l'CO bi.s 1S1';, von 1'. I- d
ik rseii," appears an account of a public lree-r-ing
held at Oll-n, Switzerland, in IWuy. f .'H
On that oeeasi n a speaker named !e!.!::z
used the following language: "All the g"
eriiinents of itzerlaiiil (referring to tl.ej
cantons) must acknowledge that they are
simply from tho people, by the people, and
for tho people'." Ward li. Lamon's Letter.
Typlioiel I'evtT on tiio Stoamors.
People who aro about to visit Europe
sluiulil bo very careful what ship they take
for the passage'. I have heard within tho
last two en- threo weeks of some of tho most
terrible cases of typhoid fever contracted on
board ships of tho lines considered by the
public first class. I met the other night a
Kow York gentleman who eanio over with
his daughter six weeks ago for the purpose of
making an extended tour of Europe. It was
the daughter's first visit. She was a perfect
picture of health when sho left New York.
They took passage upon one of the lic.est ves
sels of one cf t he great transatlantic lines.
Within two days after their arrival in Lon
don sho was Lakeii down with typhoid fever.
Che has been ill for nearly live weeks. She
came near dying once or twice, but is now
slowly recovering. The physician in attend
ance, when he was first called to examine the
caso, uskexl where the j'oeng laely bad been
during tho preceding ten days. When told
that she had just e-rossed the ocean he saiel:
''This fever was contracted on beiard Jship."
"How can that be!" said the father. "If
thero is any plae'o in tho world where peoplo
have pure air I should think it would bo at
sea." The physician replied by saying that it
was a very common thing for people to con
tract bad fevers on the great ships which creiss
the-ocean. Nothing but the most strict vigi
lance in looking after the sanitary condition
of a great ship will keep it in whole, oine con
dition. Vessels that may bo wholesome in quiet
weather becomo disease breeders when shaken
up by heavy weather, and where they havo
in addition to be close-el down against tho
outsiele storm. This gentleman, who has had
sue a serious time with his daughter, has
beard of several easesVjf typhoid fever among
tho moro delicate pe-oplo on the passage list of
this same vessel. Tho surgeon mentioned
above said alse that vessels which have been
through collision, with a serious shaking np,
are apt to breed fevers unless they are after
ward thoroughly overhauled. It will lie re
membered that Secretary Whitney lost his
favorite elaughftr through a malignant diph
theria contracted on board ship on a voyage
to Europe. The majority of people leave the
United States to visit Euroio with tho object
of securing rest, improving their health and
the pleasure of sightseeing. The knowledge
that fevers are often develc pud on the lines ,f
tho transatlantic steamers should certainly
prcxluee great vigilance upen tho part of
owners and masters of vessels to guarel against
further dangers to the public from this direc
tion. T. C. Crawford in New York World.
Eelwin Forrest's Turning Point.
"In tho following spring I went to New
York and put up at a learning house. I was
without a doliar. I eliel not have two shirt3
in tho world. My clothes hail been seized for
board in Albany. I was thoroughly disgusted
with tho world and resolved to kill myself.
I went to a drag store aii.1 bought some arse
nic. I told the apothecary I wantoel to kill
rats. I went to my room and mixed it, and
was on tho point of taking it, when, just as
such things, happen on tho stage, I heard a
gentle rap on tho eloor. A man came in and
said ho was an actor, anil that his name was
WoexihulL The object of his visit was to get
n;e to play for his benefit. He said ho bad
never seen me act, but ho had heard Ogdeii
Hoffman, a member of tho legislature, and
others capable of judging, say that I was very
C:ie I tolel him hastily that I hail done with
acting, and that I did not know anything
about him or his benefit. The actor looked
downcast and said: 'I am a poor man, and
have a long summer to run through. I bail
hoped you would conio to my aid and assist
me in supiortir.g my family; otherwise I am
beggareei.' These woiis touched mo so," said
Forrest, "that I finally consented. I played
Othello' for him. It was a grand sweep,
financially anel dramatically, for hundreds
wero turned away from tho doors of tho
theatre. Next morning Mr. Gilford, man
ager ci the Bowery, put $500 in ray hands
(more money than I ever had in my life be
fore), and engaged mo for one year at his
theatre. From that time tiil now my course
has leen upward anel onward." Dr. Kane iu
