Several persons were making pur

old man with a cane in one hand and
a bundle in the other stood in the door
and asked :
'Did any of you drive up here in a
wagon ?'
'Yes, I did,' replied one.
'Was it an old white horse?
'Yes'
! And an old woman in the wagon ?'
'Yes.' #
'And she can manage the horse ?'
'I guess she can.'
'Then it's all right,' said the man of
the cane and bundle. 'The old horse
has run away and the old woman is
hanging to the dashboard and yelling
murder! with all her might, but if she
can manage him there's no use of any

PARTY PRIMARIES REGU
LATED BYLAW.

passed by the late Legislature, is the
act to prevent bribery and fraud at
nominating elections, approved by
Gov. Hoyt on the Blh instant. It was
ridiculed and obstructed in every pos
sible way without public demonstra
tion, but it was finally passed just at
the heels of the session, when the roos.

THE OLDEST CITY IN THE
WORLD.
Damascus-is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidou have crumbled
on thd shore; Baalbec is a ruin ; Pai
mpra is buried iu a desert ; Nineveh
and Babylon have from
the Tigris and tbe Euphrates. Da
mascus remains what it was before tbe
days of Abraham—a centre of trade
and travel—an isle of verdure in tbe
desert; 'a presidential capital' with
martial and sacred associations extend
ing through thirty centuries. It was
near Damascus that Saul of Tarsus
saw litfht above the brightness of
the sun; the street which is called
Sfait, in which it was said 'he prayed,'
still runs through the'city. The cara
van comes and as it did a thousand
years ago; there is still the sheik, the
ass and the water wheel; the merchants
of the Euphrates and the Mediterranean
still occupy the streets 'with the multi
tudes of their wares.' The city which
Mahomet surveyed from the neighbor
ing height, and was afraid to enter, 'be
cause it was given to man to have but
one paradise, and for his part he was
resolved not to have it in this world,'
is to-da* what Julian called the 'Eye
of the East,' as it was, in the time of
Isaiah, 'the head of Syria.'
From Damascus came the damson,
our blue plums, and the delicious, ap
ricot of Portugal, dalled damasco ; dam
ask, our beautiful fabric of cotton
and silk, with vines and flowers rising
upon a smooth bright ground ; the dam
ask rose introduced into England in
the time of Henry VIII; the Damascus
blade, so famous the world over, for its
keen edge and wonderful elasticity, the
secret of whose manufacture was lost
when Tamerlane carried the artist into
Persia ; and that beautiful art of inlay
ing wood and steel with go'd and sil
ver, a kind of mosaic engraving and
sculpture united, called damaskeening,
with which boxes, bureaus, and 3words
are ornamented. It still is a city of
flowers and bright water ; the stream
of Lebanon and the 'silk of gold' still
murmur and sparkle in the wilderness
of the Syrian gardens.
A YANK¥E GIRL JIL TS A
PRINCE.
It was announced in the leading
journals of Paris a few months ago that
the only daughter and heiress of a
Lowell, Mass., millionaire was soon to
marry one of the Bourbons, a cousin
of Don Carlos, of Spain. But the mar
riage never occurred, because the Yan
kee girl wouldn't invest. The Prince
called every day last winter at the
hotel where the young woman resided.
In the words of the Paris correspond
ent of the San Frausisco Chronicle :
'Fancy the noble scion of the very
illustrious and thrice puissant House
of Bourbon going on his knees to $2,-
000,000 worth of sarsaparilla! But I
may have overdrawn the picture. It
is not certain that the noble Prince ac
tually went upon his marrow bones in
propria pergonae. He did that by
proxy. Though he paid court assidu
ously and daily in person, the Prince
sent a formal demand, or, to speak ex
actly, several demands by his cham
berlain. For, though a prince may
have no cash, as long as he can borrow
money he keeps up a petty court, and
of course must have his chamberlain.
Oa oue occasion, when this deputy
came to ask the hand of Miss in
marriage, or rather to inform that
young lady that his Highness the
Prince A de Bourbon proposed to
confer upon her, a plain, untitled
American, the honor of his name and
high-sounding title, Miss quite
peremptorily refused the honor, where
upon the chamberlain exclaimed : 'Do
not SAV you refuse him ! His High
ness the Prince is not a personage who
can be refused! Oh, no! 'Tis im
possible. Put it in some other form, I
beg of you. Say you are unable to ac
cept of the honor offered you. Any
thing but a refusal! The prince is not
an ordinary man, to be rejected in this
manner!' Notwithstanding the fervid
eloquence of the chamberlain, the ,no'
of the Yankee girl was positive. 'Tell
your master,' she said to the deputy,
'that I don't tvant titles half as badly
as he wants cash.'
CHEMICAL EXAMINATION OF
DRINKING WATER.
Dr. J. W. Mallet, University pf Vir
ginia. has undertaken for the National
Board of Health, a special study of the
methods of examining drinking water
for organic impurities; and the board
urgeutly request that physicians and
sanitarians shall promptlv report to
Dr. Mallet any well marked cases of
disease which may seem on medical
grounds to be fairly attributable to or
ganic impurities in the drinking water
used by the patient. It is further de
sired that samples of each such water
shall be forwarded' to Dr. Mallet for
examination, but not uutil after the
reasons for suspecting the water have
been submitted to Dr. Mallet, and no
tice has been received from him that
the analyses are ready to proceed with
its examination, Such notice of read
iness will be accompanied by clear in
structions as to the quantity of water
required, and the mode of collecting,
packing, and shipping it. The cost of
packages and transportation will bf
borne by the Board of Health. Dr.
Mallet's post office is University of
Virginia P. 0., Albemarle County,
Va.
It is to be hoped that physicians will
not neglect to aid this important in
quiry, especially as it furnishes so
favorable an opportunity to have test
ed gratis any wator the wholesomenes*
of which they may have cause to
doubt.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S SON.
Miss Clara Barton, in the Provi
dence Press, relates an interview she
recently bad with Secretary Lincoln.
'I wished to see hitn because he was
Abraham Lincoln's son,' she said,
sl>wly and softly, 'and I went to his
office desk, handing him my card as I
approached him. 'I have no favor to
a.-k of you, Mr Secretary/ I said,
when he had ri.-« l and conversation
bad opened, 'except you will take from
me a burden 1 have carried about with
me for many years. I knew President
Lincoln well He was good and kind
and helpful to me in whatever I tried
to do for our soldiers. lie recognized
and cared for the little thiugs I had
succeeded in doing; aud when there
came one great undertaking (referring
to her making a record of the missing),
so great as to appall r. women v» ith its
seeming impossibility yet which the
entreaties of many survivors forced me
to attempt, when other officials said,
'lt cannot be done,' he, the head and
heart of it all, said, I will help you.'
And he smootLed my way, aud made
it all possible and plain. When the
task was ended, and I came back to
Washington feeling the obligation I
owed to him, he was not here to re
ceive my grateful thanks. He had
gone beyond all tnaf. It was a sad little
burden to carry around with me unut
tered aud unshared, but I have carried
it. At home and beyoud the sea,
wherever I have been, it has gone
with me; and I have come to-day to
ask you, as his representative, to ac
cept that burden of thanks for him.' I
felt my tears flowing before I had fin
ished, and was ashamed that I had
failed to control them, but when I
glanced up at the Secretary I saw he
he was weeping too. He reached out
his hand, and said: 'I do accept jour
tribute of thanks—for my father ;' and
then I came away."
10 WASIVA LLED LA KE,
Burlington, lowa, Hawkeye.
The greatest wonder in the State of
lowa, and perhaps in any State, in what
is called the Walled Lake, iu Wright
county, twelve miles north of the Du
buque and Pacific railway, and one
hundred and fifty miles west cf Du
buque. The lake is two or three feet
higher than the earth's surface. In
some places the wall is ten feet high,
fifteen feet wide at the bottom, and five
feet wide at the top. Another fact is
the size of the ston« used in the con
struction, tbe whole of them varviug
in weight from three tons down to one
hundred pounds. There is an abund
ance of stones in Wright cou jty, but
surrounding the lake to the extent of
five or ten miles there are none. No
one can form an idea of the means em
ployed to bring them to the spot or
who constructed it. Around the entire
lake is a belt of woodland half a mile
in length, composed of oak. With this
exception, the country is a rolling
prairie. The trees must have been
planted there at tbe time of tbe build
ing of the wall. In the Spring of the
year 1856 there was a jrreat storm, and
tbe ice on the lake broke the wall in
several places, and the farmers in the
vicinity were obliged to repair the
damages to prevent inundation. Tbe
lake occupies a ground surface of 2,800
acres, depth of water as great as twenty
five feet Tbe water is clear and cold,
soil sandy and loamy. It is singular
that no one has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from nor where
in goes, yet it is always clear and fresh.
AN OLD, YET GOOD STORY.
When Dary Crockett was iu Wash
ihgton he was one day fitting in a
hotel toasting bis shins when a Senator
from Massachusetts entered.
Approaching the old frontiersman
the latter said:
'Crockett, a large procession of your
constituents are marching up the street.
You ought to go out aud greet them.'
Crockett hurriedly arose and went
out upon the hotel steps, when a large
drove of mules caught bis eye. He
quietly watched them until the last one
had passed and then returned to his
seat by the stove. The Massachusetts
Senator was still there, and as the re
doubtable Davy dropped into his chair,
asked:
'Well, did you see your friends?'
'Oh, yes.' was the response. 'They
are looking remarkably well, too.'
'Did you ascertain their destination?'
'Certainly, sir.'
'And where arc they going in such a
solid body V
Crockett turned to the Seuator with
quiet, calm expression, and replied :
'The blamed fools are all going down
to Massachusetts to teach school.'
And then they gazed a moment in
to each other's faces and sadly walked
up to exercise the barkeeper awhile.
ROBERTSON'S UNPARDONA
BLE SIN.
It General Grant had not said so
many things recently that were unbe
coming, the statement that he said
'Robertson was a traitor to me at Chi
cago' would be incredible. General
Grant ought to know but 10 per cent
of his force at Chicago had Republican
constituencies behind them; that the
strong Republican districts were al
most without exception against him;
that Robertson was elected a delegate
as a Blaine man, and refused to obey
instructions that the State Convention
had no authority to give. It would
be a consistent thing now for General
Grant to join Vice-President Arthur
at Albany, and labor with the mem
bers of the Assembly in behalf of the
deserters. Cincinnati Commercial.
