The best evidence goes to show that the.Lmcoln family originated in Penn- -; Bylvania, and moving down the valley stopped in Virginia, and thence got to Kentucky. I would not be surprised if t Lincoln had a little of the old Dutch blood in him in some gener^tios). His * honest}', which gave him the nfcme of Honest Abe; his occasional coarseness of illustration, his unfailing good hu­ mor and his anxiety to acquit himself well everywhere, remind me of those old Germans who had virtues and cour­ age beyond appearances. Lincoln was born in Hardin county, Kentucky, but the part of the, county where he was born is said to belncluded ' ; 80,1 thc new wife, SalHe Jolin- V - - in another county called La Rue. It "Was a rolling country, about one- third barren; and on the barrens grew black­ jacks and post-oaks; and in places it rose into high mounds almost like mountains--one called the Shiny Mount­ ain,. and the other the Blue Ball. He . was born in a log cabin, a mile and a half from a subsequent town called Hodgenville, on Noblin creek. When he was a very little fellow he was re­ moved to another cabin, on Knob creek, nix mfles from Hodgenville. Here he staid, it is said, till he was 7 years old. He was Ijorn forty years after Daniel Boone first struct out--from South Carolina to explore Kentucky, ^ and only thirty-four yews after Boone * accomplished a permanent settlement in Kentucky. It is said that Lincoln's grandfather, f, whose name was also Abraham, usase ' from Rockingham county, Va., to : Kentucky in 1780 with a young and ten- / der family, and settled in Bullitt county, ...» on Floyd's creek, where he was shot to death by an Indian while Working in } his field the year after the British troops embarked from America. Five little children left to his wife were moved by her to Washington county-- named Mordecai, Joshua, Thomas, Mary and Nancy. Like many of the __ poor whites of Kentucky, these «hil- dven when they grew up removal fccr Indiana and Illinois--the women, how­ ever, remaining in Kentucky, and mar­ rying in families named Crume and Brumfield. It is said that the children were generally born in Virginia. Dr. Holland says that the Lin coins of Rockingham county, Va., came from Berks county, Pa., and were Quakers. 4 The characteristics of Lincoln bear out this theory. The President's father, Thomas Lin­ coln, never had any education, could • hardly read, worked for day's wages and hunted game. When he married Nancy Hanks, he had for a first child a «daughter named Sarah, who left no children; the son Abraham, and a son who died a baby, named Thomas. Lin­ coln's father was a very amiable person; . less than six feet high; of good nature, improvident and roving tendencies; but , he was much loved. He always con- '. sidered that he had made a failure in life by not having an education. Lin­ coln's mother is said to have been a ) slender, pale, sad and sensitive woman, " superior in nature to the rough custom­ ers around her; and Lincoln always called her his angel mother. They were very miserable, and poor, yet both parents were religious. Tha • mother could just read, and she read to her children. Lincoln's first teacher - was a Catholic named Zachariah Riney, and the next a bright youth named Caleb Hazel. Schools were barely known', and the preaching was by rov­ ers. Lincoln never saw a church for years, and his parents had the Baptist tendency. The first lessons in oratory Lincoln ever listened to were from wan­ dering Baptist preachers. There is a theory that Lincoln's father moved away from Kentucky because he saw no opportunity to educate his children in a society where slavery was of more consequence than schools. He did not want his children to be as common as the negroes. Another reason alleged for the father's removal was the bad land titles in Kentucky, which had routed Daniel Boone himself from his property. The father at last sold his farm for ten barrels of whisky and $20 in money --the whole representing $300. He built a flat boat; launched it on the Rolling Fork, put his wliiskv on board of it, set his furniture by tlie whisky, and floated down to the Ohio river, where the flatboat was upset and two- thirds of his whisky and stuff lost. He then went to Thoui'imou's ferry, and had his goods hauled a 1 tout eighteen miles Into Spencer county, Indiana. This was in the autumn of 1810, when Abe was under 8 yearn old. The father went right back to Ken­ tucky, not having brought his family with him on the flatboat, and he put his effects on three horses, surrounding them with packs containing the bedding and wardrobe, and they were seven days going across Kentucky to Indiana, and there the free State neighbors were . assembled to help build them a home. Their house was not far from a town called Gentryville at the present day. \ The little boy, Abe, shot some wild - - turkeys; and, as soon as he could flour­ ish an ax, was put to cutting down brush and trees. He went for brief periods to- three different teachers, one of whom was .. named Azel Dorcy; but it is said that his entire school education in both Ken­ tucky and Indiana was limited to one year. His bed was the protruding logs of a cabin, and a wooden crotch cut from the forest, on which were laid hfrjfkoirr sticks. This sort of lied was th# lather's and mother's, and the child- tea slcptoa theground, except when it w<» Tery cold, ana then they crawled annlnd their father's and mother's feet. Lincoln's mother was seized with con­ sumption and died in 1818, two years altar As removed to Indiana, when Kt- JJe Abe was only 10 vears old. They "buried her Under the trees by the cabin, and the boys sat down on her grave and wept. Her funeral service was not held for several months, and little Abe, who could just form his letters, con­ structed one to a parson named El kin, in Kentucky, asking him to come and preach the* mother's funeral service, which he did on Sunday morning, rid­ ing 100 miles through the wilderness to do it. The neighbors for miles came in -Tude carts, on horses, riding double- backed, in ox-wagons and on foot, and there were 200 persons present, sitting around the graves on stumps and logs, and it was fne first great public memory Of Lincoln's life. His mother's Chris­ tian sweetness and piety sank around "%he roots of Lincoln's life, and sent up stream of tears to his eyes through -succeeding trials and triumphs. How poor are they whose mothers are never poor! It is the recollection of the tears, anxieties and toils of poor-motheis that has given such compensation add sweet­ ness to American human nature. Little Abe was quick to learn to read and write, too, and the rude Indiana neighbors, hearing of his smartness, came to have him write their letters, and thus lie learned from original hu­ man nature the character, strength and necessities of his American fellow citi­ zens. There were few books, but the few there were he read well, like the Bible, "JEsop's Fables," "The Pilgrim's Progress," Weames' "Life of Washing ton," "The Life of Henry Clay," and a "Life of Franklin." There he got his beautiful, simple education; his skill to turn a phrase; his difference as a sen­ tence maker from the stiff old chaps like Jefferson, Madison, etc.. who made the verbiage of the first quarter of this century. * In 1819 Lincoln'* father • married rise in Springfield, and they met on Bloody Island, in the Mississippi river, opposite St. Louis, b$& a*ra»Tfrilifction wafc effected there. la jU&Q beH«n Mr. Stewatt Went into p iliwlfjrmcwith JuAge LbfeMt, of SprihgftilCLMln4642, at the age of 83, he married Mary Todd, the daughter of Hon.

He once took his father's grist on a horse and rode fifty miles to get it ground. President Jackson appointed Lincoln Postmaster, and he liked the place be­ cause it let him read newspapers taken by the neighbors. His hat was. thei postoffiee for the letters. Then John Calhoun, of Springfield, employed Lincoln to be a deputy land surveyor, and he surveyed the town of Peters­ burg, 111., and worked for more than a year, his surveys standing to this day as sound. In the Legislature he was dressed in jeans, with a surtout over it. He made no speeches, but listened and watched, and walked home at the close of the session.

The nine members from Sangamon county were so long that they were called "the long nine," all being over six feet high, and Lincoln the tallest of all. In the Legislature that year were Gen. McClernand, Jesse K. Dubois, Gen. James Shields, Stephen A. Doug- Ins, John J. Hardin and William A. Richardson. Abe Lincoln was consid­ ered one of the most substantial men in the Legislature. Lincoln and his colleagues demanded the removal of the capital from Vandalia to Spring­ field, and accomplished it by omnibus- ing with the system of public improve­ ments demanded by the rest of the State. He was then only 27 years old. Douglas was 23 vears old, and the youngest man in the House. Lincoln in this Legislature took position against the establishment of slavery in Illinois. He walked 100 miles and back to Vandalia again. The other eight members of the delegation were on horseback, and Lincoln walked be­ hind on foot. Maj. Stewart, of Springfield,; noV made him a proposition to become his law partner, and the people then felt grateful to Lincoln for having assisted to give them the State capital; so he removed to Springfield on the 15th of April, 1837. It was almost the an­ niversary of his death, twenty-four years later. He went to Springfield with apprehension and anxiety, having nothing, and freshly admitted, to the bar. He left New Salem with regret, which was full of his friends. At Springfield he boarded with William Butler. The Springfield people in 1838 sent him to the Legislature, and there he was considered the leading Whig in the House. He ran for Speaker and was defeated by one vote. In the debates he was one of the most active men. One of his speeches at this period described his opponent as like a man who fired at a squirrel, and, having missed him several times, started to investigate the reason, and found that he had been firing at a louse rm his eyebrow. The members laughed his opponent out of hearing. Linooln now began to ride the judicial circuit. He was what \tfas called a case-lawyer--aot deeply grounded ip the law, but with abundant justice and common sense, always weak on the weak side, and hence he was slow to take a case where there was not right and reason. He was a great ad­ vocate, however, astonishing before a jury, his luciditv, fairness and skill making the jury delighted to hear him. He often showed the melancholy con­ stitution that weighed him down in sub­ sequent years. He got the name of "the Sangamon Chief " in the Legis­ lature, and was sent there again in 1840: and that year Springfield received the Legislature, the ar- hives and the offices. He was again defeated for Speaker, and never again ran for the Legislature. Gen. James Shields challenged him, on account of a poem that a woman had published in a Springfield paper, whom Lincoln desired to protect. He selected broadswords and began-to take exer- 7,1 i --4*-Tof Plymouth-Rock stamp. J> Bhe lived twenty miles away, ana I Went to see her regularly every fourth Sunday night.

In June, 1777, a committee having been appointed by Congress to confer with General Washington concerning a design for a National flag, reported in favor of a flag eonteining thirteen stripes, alternately red and white, and a blue field adorned with thirteen white stars. This was adopted June 14th, and the design was carried to the upholstei> ing shop of Mrs. Ross, No. 239 Arch street, Philadelphia, where the first Na­ tional flag was made. The origi^l de­ sign required six-pointed stars, but, upon Mrs. Ross' suggestion that five- pointed htars would be more symmetri­ cal, the pattern was changed. This lady was afterward givfcn the position of manufacturer of government flags, which occupation upon her death was retained by her children. The stars and stripes were first unfurled at the battle of Saratoga upon the occasion of the surrender of Burgoyne. By an aet of Congress, January 18, 1794, the design was changed so as to incorporate fifteen stripes and fifteen stars, and one star was to be added for every subsequent State admitted. This, however, was repealed in 1818, *hen the original number of stripes were' established, the stars continuing to increase as new States were admitted. In designing a flag the field should be om-;hird the length and cover the width of seven stripes. Of the colors, red represents courage, white, integrity, and blue steadfastness, faith and love. Deficiencies in a Cheese Show. NKT, if cheese could dance a double- clog dance and get off conundrums and laugh at them, it would be different. If a lot of cheeses could be arranged in a semi-circle, with "end cheeses," and each cheese could sing a song or tell an old story, like the back numbers of a nigger show, and some of the cheeses could dress «p as females and then turn back somersaults, we might turn out and patronize the show and buy seats several days in advance. Or if a firkin of butter could play "Hamlet,* and an­ other firkin could play "Ophelia," which we are sure butter fiftuUl do as well as some of those human beings do, who attempt it, it would be a novelty that would draw and fill the exposi­ tion. To see a firkin of butter come j on to the stage in black tights and have j an interview with another firkin as the j "ghost," would take the cake, but they do not attempt such amusement.

Sold by all druggista atmosphere, an<l found numbers of living spores capable of producing disease. In dry and healthy localities, but few germs were found, and these of the harmless varieties, while in low, damp places, crowded houses, and unhealthy cities, the posionous germs were extremely numerous everywhere. DR. RUDOLPH KOOH, of Wallstein, Germany, a man whose work in connection with tfie organisms of contain us diseases has made him a recognized authority upon the sub- iect, by exi>erimenthig alter the methods of Vn jJEMiN, has discovered and published an account of one of the inost-dangcrous varie­ ties, to which it is proven more deaths are due than to any disease incident to the hu- m&n nice, ' v, He describes it as a simple cellular organ­ ism belonging to the f*une Ol der as the 6W- tcria. When dried, the germs may. without losing any vitality, endure great extremes of temperature. Being as tine and as light as dust, invisible to the naked eye, they may be blown any distance by the, wind or car­ ried upon tlie clothing or body* like seeds, the* may lie for months tfc years nnitta- turbed upon the furniture, floor, carpets, curtains, walls, or in the bedding, and only requiring a proper degree of warmth, moist­ ure and food to wakvn into life, develop and grow. They thrive : nd live in the blood, lymph, mucus and tc-^retions of the hnman body. When the rystem is unhealthy or weak they attack tbe cells that make up the animal frame. Any albuminous tiuid will' furnish them with food for growth, and a single drop is sufficient to contain hundreds. Examined with microscopes of great power, which enlarge them so that they can be seen and studied, they have the appearance of ininut# rod-like bodies, hating, when active, some jH>wer of motion. They. !>«nd in the middle Itke a bow and Strftigtiten with a jerk that sends them a few times their own length. At the temperature of the human body they are I,he most active. Their power of increase or reproduction is remarkably great One germ, in a few weeks' time, under favorable conditions, will give rise to millious. The piocess is by sim(ile growth a id division. Cold destroys or prevents their growth, and this is why re­ frigeration prevents decay of meats ' and other animal foods. Exposed warmth these small organisms attack and eat up the albuminous tissues leaving a fc.ul mass. The 4jgivtf» HQ WMMIMin UW off by these minute organisms, and is about the only indication of their presence. This is the warning of nature and it is an instinct to avoid all such smellK The foul breath, bad odors of old sores, etc., leads men to avoid these germs in a great measure. The danger of their presence in the body can be imagined when their rapid increase is con­ sidered. A few germs may IK; readily ab­ sorbed into the system by breathing air con­ taining them. They are thus drawn into the interior of the body through the long and narrow respiratory passages of the throat, chest and nose, which are lined with soft membrane and covered with sticky mucus In this fiuid they find ready lodgment and favorable conditions for development, in­ crease and growth: The Void* or aatatTtt, osucna or chrotiio catarrhs, hay fevSr, stc., are common manifestations of the Sffecth of one of the leastniafrmful of these gArof or tnicrozyuKZ. In the discharges from the re­ spiratory passage s at such times thousands of the living animalculte are found The fever, debility, pains "in the bones," loss of appetite, etc.", are indications of their de­ pressing effects upon the vital organs It is from germs of slower development, however, that the greatest danger follows To the one most fully described by KOCH is due more deaths than to any other known cause. According to the researches of CUT­ TER, FLIXT and DKJEUIXE over eight million people die every year from this cau^e alone. The annual deaths in France. England, Ger­ many and l.ussia from their destruction was over one and a half millions.

It was found to exert tiie most wondeiful tonic and restorative influences, beside its nutritive properties far surpass those of cod liver oil or any other of the rem­ edial agents resorted to by the medical pro­ fession in such casea Hypophocphitea, iron, and quinine bear no comparison to lt In building up the strength of the debilitated. The recipe as advised by him has been used for years with the greatest success in a vast and most successful practice. The written experience of the many suf­ ferers who have lieen cured and who ex­ press in terms of the highest praise their in­ dorsement of its great value, are sufficient to fill volumes. Living witnesses are every­ where, monuments to modern genius and scientific progress in the healing art Sufferers from "liver complaint,1' giving rise to "bad bled," consumption, scrofula, and other affections and symptoms, the re­ sults of filood poisoning from the ravages of the dendlv parasites or disease germs so briefly referred to, find in this remedy vrompt relief and a permanent cure. The. g eat ftnd increasing demai.d for this <» od- ^iv< u and peerless remedy for so many ap-' parcutlv different, but really kindred, ail­ ments, led to its preparation in pure and convenient form under the name of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It can be obtained the world over at drug and gen­ eral stores, and full directionsfor its use will be found in the pamphlet that surrounds each bottle. It exerts* the most wonderful stimulating and invigorating influence on the liver, than greatest gland of the human sys­ tem. which has l>een not inaptly termed the '•housekeeper of our health." Through the inci eased action of the liver and other emunctory organs of the system, all poison­ ous goims are rendered inactive and grad­ ually"expel ed from the system with other impurities. In some eases, where there are unhealthy discharges, as from tiie nostrils in ca«es of either acute or enronic catarrh, tho use (k' Jpr. Sago's Catarrh Kemedy, a mild mid healing antiseptic lotion, should be asso­ ciated with t lie use of the Discovery. It is also advisable to use this lotion in other lo­ cal manifestations of disease of mucous t^rtaccs. By this means the germs of dis­ ease are destroyed and the membranes cleansed before any of the poisonous bacilli arc abt-oi bed into the blood In sore throat, quinsy or diphtheria, the Catarrh Remedy liquid should be used as a gargle, anil the U olden Medical Discovery taken freely. In women where weakness of special or­ gans is common and almost certain to be de­ veloped, attended by backache, bearing- down sensations and other local symptoms, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, in eon- junction with that of the Discovery, speedily restores the healthy functions and assists in building up and invigorating.the system In any case where the bowels have been costive "and are not regulated and acted up­ on sufficiently by the mild laxative proper­ ties possessed by the Golden Medical Discov­ ery, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets (little liver pills), taken in small doses of on­ ly one or two each day, will aid materially in establishing healthy action, and in expell­ ing the disease-producing germs from the blood and system. At the risk of repetition and by way of re­ capitulation, we may truthfully say that Golden Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a common blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt rheum, fever-sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, all di«ea«efc caused by disease germs in the blood, are conquered by this powerful, puri­ fying and invigorating"medicine. Groat eat­ ing ulcers rapidly hew under its benign in­ fluence. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing tetter, rdse rash, boils, carbuncles, "-ore eyes, scrofulous sores and swellings, white swellings, goitre or thick neck and enlarged glands.

Thoroughly cleanse this fountain of health by usingdolden Med­ ical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital Strength and Consumption, which is scrofulous disease of the lungs induced by the deadly dlsasso germ bacUtu arrested and cun if taken before are geSched. From its wonderfill power over this terribly fatal disease, when first Offering this now world-famed remedy to tlie public, Da PIKKCE thought favorably of calling it his "consumption cure," but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine that from its wonderful combina- tiotf-of germ-destroying, as trell as tonic, or strengthening, altern ative, or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, diuretic, pectoral and nutritive properties, is unequaled, not only as a remedy for consumption of the lungs, but for all 'chronic; diseases of the liver, blood, kidneys and lungs. If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown, spots on face or body, frequent headache or" dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat or chills, alternated with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy foreliodlngs, irregular appetite, ana tongue coated, you are suffer­ ing from indigestion, dyspepsia and torpid liver or "biliousness." tn many cases only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a remedy for all such cases Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has no equal as it effects perfect and radical cures For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short breath, consumptive night-sweats, and kin­ dred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and • consumption, it has astonished the medical faonlty, and eminent physicians pronounce it the greatest medical aisco very o f t he age The nutritive properties post-e^ued bv cod liver oil are trifling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It rapidly builds up the system and Increases the Mesh and weight of those reduced below the usual standard of health by wasting disease* The plan of treatment that we have so briefly outlined in thi* article for the large class of chronic disea es referred to has long been ackuewlcdged to be the most suc­ cessful, ha«ed as it is upon the belief shared by the most skillful medical men of the day, tfiat the only way to get rid of the noxious disease-producing germs in the blood and system is through the liver, kidneys and bowels, and therefore that those agents which are known to act most efficiently in restoring healthy action of these organs are the ones most to be relied upon. For this purpose the Golden Medical Discovery is «;•<-< mintnily the agent that fulfills every indication of treatment required.
