MKS. LINCOLN'S HALLUCINATIONS.
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln is not sick, in
spite of paragraphs in otic thousand
newspapers of the country. She is
peculiar, mentally a little "ofT;"
"bystoric-," other old ladies call her
complaint. But her pursuit of happi
ness is hardly more eccentric now than
much of the timo during her entire
widowhood. How is she, really?
Well, she took a carriage ride of sev
eral miles the other, day, returning to
her home with a healthful glow upon
her cheek. Sho wants to go again;
and, if this want doesn't wear out, it
will he humored often. Sho said it
was the best ride she'd had for a long
titr.e. And, sure enough, it was, for
ihc had only just lot heraolf out from
continuous, sclf-inllictcd confinement
in an upper room during six months
and more. Not even the kindest sis
terly entreaty could porsUado her feet
10 cross tne chamber threshold till one
morning early she descended the stairs,
attired in pink silk and Trench lace,
and scolded her servant fop not having
breakfast ready. "A pretty hotel."
said she, scornfully, "to keep guests
waiting for meals until after train
time." Of course, the kitchen maid
went nearly daft herself at sight of
this "guest," and ran to apprise her
mistress that Mrs. Lincoln had turned
over a new leaf ; and, sure enough, on
returning to the kitchen, tho maid
found that this strange "guest" had
no thought of taking the " train " on
an empty stomach, but had turned tho
steak in tho broiler, and was removing
the jackQts from the boiled potatoes
with all the housewifely skill of hor
early days.
Mrs. Lincoln camo to this citv to re
side soon after hor return from Europe,
in October last. She is most consider
ately cared for, and all her harmless
weaknesses humored in the family of
Hon. N. Edwards, Mrs. Edwards being
her sister. Sho arrived in November,
and, during tho following holiday sea
son, she shut herself up in her room,
mourning the extravagance of the
times, and childing those about her
who displayed gifts of jewelry and the
like. And then sho stayed, like a veri
tablo silk-worm, in its self woven co
coon, till the late morning adventure,
as above narrated. 'What did she do
there all that time? Principally, she
overhauled her many trunks, comnlain
cd that she was very sick, and ate full
meals of substantial food three times a
day. She reconciled ill-health and
hearty eating by insisting, to the few
frknUs whom sho admitted, that her
malady was a very peculiar one, com
pelling her to consume largo quantities
of food. Sho would rise from a repast
of roast beef, coflbo, etc., and very dc-
jectedly inform her attendant, or visi
" tor; that in all human probability she
should not see tho light of another day;
and often, in literal verification of her
propheev, sho would close the window-
shutters, increase tho opaqueness of
the curtains by pinning up shawls or
quilts, and light a plain tallow candle.
She rejects tho use of gas as of the
devil. If asked to specify where sho
felt bad in body, sho would reply,
sometimes, "1'nion fire, burning up;
just feel of mc, and seo how hot 1 ami"
At the same timo her temperature
would appear perfectly normal for a
lady abovo sixty years of age. At oth
er timos sho would insist that sho was
" boing all hacked to pieces by knives;
just feel that gash in my shoulder;
don't think I can stand such wounding
lanff, do vou?"
Yet tender and com-
niiserating
friends assured her that
there was no traco of cither blood or
scar.
It is tho vagaries of a diseased mind
in ono eminently related to tho tragic
period in American history, upon which
the gossips havo laid hold and woven
tho thousand-and-ono stories of Mrs.
Lincoln's probable death from day to
day. Of course, theso stories havo con
stantly come back to her Springfield
friends with a good deal of surprise;
and they were the source of no little
annoyance, until one day in the latter
part of January her sister, with the
view of sesuring her indignant denials
of these fabricated funeral bulletins,
carried her a handful of such clippings
a chapter, of lamentations from the
press oi the country. Mrs. Lincoln
read them slowly through, and her face
lighted up. So far from appearing in
dignant, she was delighted to find her
self once more filling so large a spot in
public observation. She laughed and
capered about in great glee. And in
the hope that the public grief might
prove " a private tonic, the reports of
impending dissolution were allowed to
multiply and have free flow in press
currents and all dispatches and
comments of sympathy were gath
ered w'.th the diligence of a
stamp-collector or autograph-hunter
and carried to the cloister of the
strange patient: even tho heaps of "ex
changes' in the local newspaper offices
were made to "minister to a mind dis
eased." Only it is now doubtful if all
this humoring of the morbid thirst for
glory has not helped to detain Mrs.
Lincoln thus long in retirement. Many
will remember that in those critical
"sixties" it used to be one of the bug
bears of the press that this lady had a
warm side for the Roman Catholic faith;
and now it appears that, during much
of the period of her late seclusion, the
Sisters of Mercy, at her request, .have
spent much time with her, generally
one or more of them passing the night
in her room. Her reputed illness has
& also brought her many letters of condo
lence from old friends of herself and
husband, and some of congratulation on
the appointment of her son to a posi
tion in the President's Cabinet. But
although she has seemed to take pleas
ure in those commiserating herself, she
has. very rarely attempted to reply;
once in a while she indicates a quite
touching and considerate answer to be
penned by some member of her sister's
fjunilv. And as she has, from time to
tune.'been reported sinking, the auto
graph' fiend has felt inspired, to clutch
the signature of Death and paste it in
iis little book. His application has
been frequent, and his disappointment
has kept it an even tally.
Bat she has not smiled over congrat
ulation on Robert's honorable account
She sighs and broods upon his official
holdimg as a new family risk. She often
gits and repeats, "Secretary of War?

Bridling n Calf.
In an unlucky hour Mr. Iticc gave
our Samny a bridle for the little colt.
Fortunately tho colt was docile, and
soon learned to lead beautifully, and no
bad results came from the experiment
except when tho colt was coaxed up
the woodshed stops and quite demol
ished them, and had to take a Hying
leap out of the door. A boy is not half
a boy who is not constantly making
himself trouble. Tho colt was brought
into subjection too easily by half, and
Sammv looked for more worlds to con
quer, and decided to try the calf. Ho
had heredity to combat. Neither the
calfs father nor mother had been bri
dled, and ho didn't see why he should
be. Tho calf was petted, and coaxed,
and cornered; but the sight of tho bri
dle sent him Hying down tho lane, bawl
ing at tho top of his voice. The boy's
spirit was aroused. All advice to let
tho calf alouo was answerod with
scorn. Wrath alternated with tears,
with occasional gleams of hope, in
spired by some hew plan of action.
The calf was shut in the barn-yard, but
tho boy came out worsted. At last tho
father yielded to importunities and con
sented to help. If ever an animal was
inspired by the Evil One that calf was.
He seemed to know the odds wero
against him, and that strategy and not
force was called for. He didn't exactly
stand patiently, but ho made no eflort
to run away. lie turned this way and
that way, and rolled up his great, in
nocent "eyes in a questioning 'manner
No ono would havo mistrusted it, but
he was watching his chance. He re
jected the bit and the excitement grew.
" Hold on to him, Sammy; don't let
him go. There, we'll have "him bridled
in a minute. Can you hand me that
strap?"
Hero was the looked-for opportunity.
His heels went np for the benefit of the
boy, his head did the. business for the
man, tho bridle landed on the fence
post, and
The calf, oh, where was he?
The bov picked himself up, and would
havo made a remark, but ho saw his
father could say enough for them both.
The latter vowed, while stanching the
How of blood from his nose, that he
would never try to bridlo another calf,
and the bbv never asked him to. Do
you suppose for a moment that tho
E reject was given up? No, indeed;
oys aro not made of that kind of
stuff. In less than a week that calf
was walking up and down the road with
a bridle on, and Sammy at the end of
the strap. A committee of bovs did it
in about fifteen minutes. The calf nev
er entirely forgot his trh'ks, but took
advantage of every unguarded moment,
and. saved the boys in the neighborhood
from getting into lots of mischief by ex

A Horse Which Didn't "Catch on."
Two or three days ago a colored man
drove a horse andwagon up to the pas
senger depot on Woodward Avenue
and asked how long before a train
-vould pass. He was told that he had
only eight minutes to wait,, and ho ex
plained: " Dis yere hoss am an anamile dat I
got hold of dis mawnin", an' 1 want to
see ho"w he will stan' do railroad."
The equine had seen about twenty
summers, and was as thin as sheet-iron,
and there was a, general laugh at the
idea of his being afraid of anything.
'Nevertheless, as a Lake Shore train
hooted in the distance, the old horse
lifted his head, pricked up his ears and
evinced considerable animation. As
the train came in sight, he began to
dance, and the driver held a stiff line
and called out:
"Whoa! Napoleon! Dat's only de
Lake Sho' Railroad oomin' in! Stead,
sah what's de use o' puttin' on
style!"
As the train thundered in, the horse
reared up and pawed the air, shook off
a man who grabbed the bridle, and,
wheeling around, he upset the wagon
and ditched it, and went up the Pon
tiae pike with the forward wheels
jumping after. The owner was picked
up in a dazed condition, more amazed,
than injured, and when one of the
crowd remarked that, the horse didn't
stand the railroad very well, the man
replied :
"Well, I dunno. He -peared to
stan' de railroad all right; but it was
dat bullgine an de kivered kyara
which he didn't cotch oa to. I 'spects
from de way he acted.dat he's bin tub.

An Alleges! Fenian Ten4 Ba-i.
Mr. IL Hubbc.bTiToBrHwIwaV. a
n?!nc"f l!ra Welamatcr & Co. put
W charge of the construction of John
P. Holland's torpedo ram when the in
ventor first applied to than in May
1873. He said reiterday:
" I have dissolved my connection with
DylfUhatef & Co., but I know Mr. Hol
land very well; and did all the ngiSeet'
in work for him on the torpedo ranL
Holland IS wide awake, and a vnry
L-icver man. I ho Doai is an unuouoicu
success, and I am very glad of it, not j
only because her contruntion was
carried on under my directiouj but be
cause I dm glad to fitfc that the idea
which Hdlland has so long championed
lias al. last been carried through to a
practical success. This ram u pro
pelled by n twenty-horse power Bray ton
motor which can bo run with kerosene,
naphtha, or petroleum. Ono of theso
inotow has b?en put into a launch
which belongs to a friend of mine, and
he mokes ten milcJ an hoar all day long
on less than len gallons of kerosene.
The machines are very powerful. There
is one point about Holland's ram that I
know nothing about his invention for
purifying the air. The very engineer
he has on board of her is ignorant of
his secret, and he's too Jhrcwd to allow
it to slip out. There is no secrot, how
ever, about his torpedo. It Is shot
through a tube in the bow like a ball
from a rille, after the method invented
by John Ericsson. The .inside of tho
boat is filled with machinery. She is
steered by the aft rudder by means of a
lever, but the side rudders aro worked
by complicated machinery These side
or horizontal rudders enable her to
shoot up or down at any angle in tho
water, and are very essential. '
How long can a man stay under
water with her?"
"About live hours would bo tho
maximum. The speol attainable is
not more than seven miles an hour be
low the surface. It's very hot inside,
with all the machinery clicking about
one's ears and tho steaming motors tin
tier one'" very feet ; but the water in
side is cold, and serves to equalize the
temperature. Tho jacket about tho
man trap has two windows fore and
aft. and two on each side, so that a
mnn pan nut his head up there when
he steers aud look right into tho heart
of tho rivor. Tho glass is an inch and
a half thick in this jacket to resist the
heavy pressure. The principle on
which the boat is constructed is well
known and thoroughly tested."
"Who paid for the boat?"
"Tho Fenian John J. Breslin was
at the yard every day, and watched
the work with the utmost care ; but I
am not prepared to state, in fact, I
don't know, whether he paid for her
or not. 1 only know that ho was con
stantly on hand. I havo been out of
town for some time, or I should havo
fono down in her. I will go as soon as
get an invitation from her inventor,
for I bclicvo in her all the way
through."
A Paterson Land Leaguer and former
nmjrli'bnr of Mr. Holland savs he has
made a submarine trip with Mr. Hol
land in the boat. "It was on the 15th
of Julv," he said to a Sun reporter
yesterday. "Wo started down near
Judge Van Brunt's place, and went
f ullv half a mile under water. Holland
made tho boat do just what ho wanted
it to do. There is a dial on one side,
that denotes tho water pressure and the
depth below the surface. Ho can keep
a level courso at any depth ho desires,
and can ascend or descend at will. An
other gauge indicates the steam pres
sure. Still another shows the speed
and direction of the vessel. It was a
hot da, but the air was fresh and pure
in thu boat, though we were underwater
for an hour. The light that came in
through tho bull's-eye lookout mado
ovcrvthin? plainly visible inside. Wo
sailed at a depth of sixteen feet from
tho surface, and could see everything
in the water for some distance. It was
a sort of twilight. Wo saw the bot
toms of steamboats and sailing ves
sels beneath which we passed. Only
once was it dark, and then we
ran into a mud bank at tho bottom.
That sent up a clond of sediment that
turned the water into ink, and it was
some minutes after we ascended a littlo
that we ran out into clear water. The
torpedoes arc pushed out from the in
side by an ingenious arrangement so
quicklv that with six wooden "dum
mies" "only three quarts of water get
into the forward compartment. I hat
can easily be pumped out again, for
the boat is raised and lowered by let
ting water into the compartments or
pumping it out again. The exploding
torpedo does no harm to tho ram.
Several real torpedoes havo already
been discharged irom it. It could blow
up any ship that floats. Holland is an
Irishman, and that is probably tho
cause of tho Fenian story; but that is
all thero is in it Holland could sell
the boat as it floats to ono or two of
three European Governments for $150.
000. His offers havo comb from live
comparatively small countries."
The Custom Houso authorities are
considering whether the vessel is not
liable to seizure for being without a
license or name, and for carrying no
lights at night N. Y. Sun.

Thirteen FnlMJroirn Men Quietly
Bobbed by a Mellow-Voiced
Brigand.
H. M. Burton, tho alleged stage rob
ber, who was arrested in Pueblo and
brought to Denver, had his preliminary
examination before Judgo Brazeo yes
terday afternoon. Burton is charged
with robbing the stage running be
tween Del Norte and Alamosa about
midnight on the night of June 29. The
robbery was one of the most audacious
in tho annals of highway robbery, and
links the name of the perpetrator with
that of Billy Le Roy. The story of the
deed is best told in the words of J. B.
McMillan, of Del Norte, one of the vic
tims of tho robbery, and- who was the
first and principal witness for the pros
ecution in the examination of yester
day. He said in substance:
"There were eight men and one
woman inside the coach, and four men
beside the driver on top. I was among
the latter, sitting beside the driver. It
was about midnight, I should think,
and about twenty miles from Del
Norte, when wo were halted. It was
very dark, and we were, just turning a
bend in the road when the word came
to halt. There was only one man visi
ble, to the left and about ten feet ahead
of the coach. The robber was stand
ing behind a piece, of canvas stretched
alongside the road, and had a revolver
pointed directly at mvself and the
driver. He told us calmly to deliver
ourselves and ho would not harm us,
but that if we made a bad break he
would shoot. I was on the side next to
the robber, and 1 immediately got down
from my seat followed by the driver.
After we got down the robber "came
from behind the canvas and placed
over our heads a clotn cap.wntca
came down to our shoulders and. com
pletely blinded us. He then ordered
us to stand still, and himself
went to the stage door and
ordered the oocpaats to come
out, one at a time, and take their
positions ia lino alongside the driver
and myself. He told the passengers
not to make ay unnecessary Move
ments, as they were all covered by the
guns of his men ia concealment, and
har lives were in jeopardy. After the
passengers were all in lme. he put caps

would weigh perhapa 165 pounds. He
had on a dark hat and coat, and was
not disguised in any way. After he

that his comrades boing in the bushes

Narrow Escaics at Niagara.
Thrco men had a very narrow cscano
from going over Niagara Falls tho
other night John Lehman and his
sou and John Greewood, of Chippewa,
Ontario, crossed the river in the morn
ing in two small boats to visit some
friends on the American sitle, and set
out just before dusk to return home,
pushing their boats into the stream,
hardly a milo abovo the falls. They
were not more than half way across
when the river became covered with a
thick fog, and the men lost each other.
It was impossible for them to guido
themselves in the darkness and mist,
and they began to shout for help.
Their cries were heard on shore, but
nobody cared to venture into thp
stream. Their cries, however, were
answered, ana the whole town turned
out Tho church bells were rung to
direct the imperiled men which way
to head their boats, but the roar of tho
falls drowned uverv other sound, aud
the boats were meanwhile drifting rap
idly toward tho edge. Greenwood had
asmall anchor attached to a long line
in his boat, and ho threwT it out Tho
anchor, by good luck, took hold of a
rock, and his progress was stopped.
The Lehroans in the other boat drifted
down to within half a mile of the falls,
their courso being easily traced from
the shore bv their cries. Their lives
were saved by their boat striking a
counter-current which carried them
against a projecting point on the Cana
dian side, near the burning spring.
Greenwood was heard shouting for help

A Persian legend RcTlsed Version.
When Malek el Adib left the homo ol
his childhood that he might go West
and salt a mine and grow up with tho
country after unloading upon some
smart fellows down in the provinces,
his mother gavo him forty pieces of
silver, and made him promise never to
tell a lie. "Go, ray son," she said, in
a voice husky with hairpins, "go; we
may never meet again, and if we do I
will probably be married before you
come back and it wouldn't be pleasant
for you to live at home and have to call
some square-headed old mufti Pa.' "
The youth went and tho party he
traveled with was assaulted by road
agents, who shot the driver, cut open
the mail-bags, blew open the express
box and went through the .passengers.
When one of the robbers asked the loy
how much he had, he replied with sur
prising candor:
" 1 have ten dinars sewed up in my
garments." ,
The robber laughed a hoarse, guttural
lau"h in the United Stites language
amTpasscd on to an elderly man, think-in"-
the boy lied. Another robber ask
cdthe boy the same question; and, rc-ceivin"-the
same answer, laughed as did
his comrade. Finally the Chief called
Malek to him and asiccd what be had.
The boy replied:
" ! have already told two of your peo
ple that I have ten dinars sewed up in
mv gray clothes."
TKn Chief ordered his clothes to be
ripped open and found the money.
"And how," he asked " came you to
tell this?" , t
"Because," replied the boy. "I
would not be false to my mother, whom
I solemnlv promised to never tell a lie."
" Aw, choesc that" the robber chief
replied, "that's too diaphanous, strip
ling; it won't laundry. Stand him on
his head, fellows, and tap him for all
he's worth."
So the robbers stoo'd Malek on his
head, and pounded the soles of his feet
with the bastinados until he disgorged
from various secret pockets, belts,
double shoe soles, and from the straw
and cushions of the coach, 125 dinars,
s gold watch, a lot of Erie stock, seven
railroad passes, some promissory notes,
a new Derringer, photographs of Maud
Granger and Sara Bernhardt a marked
poker deck, a flask of Old Cabinet
whisky, some chewing tobacco. dia

package of counterfeit 10' s, and sslung

tossed him over into ue canyon.

understood to mean the effect of dis
playing self, and winning admiration

fireacher seeks to do Is to Inform the
ntellect with Christian truth ; to stir
the heart snd thereby Influence the
will of his hearers. Half the wrr-
