Visions Of Early Days At The | White House--The Man Who COMES TO AND LOW 7] Fellowed Lincoln--The Six-Day Race. (Letter Correspondence, No. 1,387) ivew York, bec; I1¥.--~Who can define for 'me what the law of compensation means ? It is a simple law : It means this, "only this and nothing more." It means that for every good thing that we get in this world, we have to pay its full value. It matters Jittle how the working of the law of compensation arrives, the pay-day is sure to come as that the sun rises and sets, as that death succeeds life. It reaches every class and never fails, whether it is the king on his throne, the beggar in his hovel, or the out: cast on the street, I turn to the right and find myself looking toward Wash- ington. Across from one of the finest buildings in that capital city is an- other building known as the White House; it is the official home of the president of the United States: As you enter its portals you find vonrself in a hall altogether unfit for public re- ceptions. 'Almost in front of you 'is a room, where favored' visitors are Wometimes received. On your left in that splendid department known, as the East room; for the last three quarters of a century, in this room, filled with life-like pictures which have now become historic, were held all the grand receptions, and also Dolly Ma- dison used to have her washing dried during President Madison's occupancy of the White. House. 1 recollect a cir- cumstance that occurred there along time ago. It was a bitter day in Feb- ruary, when a storm of snow = and sleet was raging. I went to the White House to furnish an article on public buildings for a prominent New York newspaper. The room was empty and cold; 1 stood in one corner, partially concealed by a curtain; closing my eyes 1 endeavored to call up visions of the past. Bishop Burkley, who wrote a treatise on mental vision, lived and died in the conviction that we see nothing but only think we see and in an incontrovertible proof of this he tells you to' shut your eyes and you will see more, better and clearer than you can with them open. As 1 closed my eyes and shut out the blinding snow and: sleet, the room seemed crowded, and in rapid array. before us was a brilliant throng, the central figure of which was the bluff old Andrew Jackson, proud of his po- sition of president "of the United States, but prouder still when he was the military ajax of Tennessee, and one-half of his courtiers were dressed in deer-skins, wearing coon-skin caps, with tails that hung down their backs, almost to their waists. While was slowly imagining this picture, 1 descried a short, thick set man, who on entering the room, began walking rapidly up. and down. He was speak- ing to himself, his head down on his breast, his hands behind him. and his voice quite audible as if talking to a multitude. The man was Andrew Jack. son, the president of the United States, through the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Fearing he. might think me an eaves. dropper 1 stepped out from my place of concealment as he turned to ad vance toward me from the east end of bluff short and harsh, the room. | was greeted with a "Good morning, si President.' "Ah, then, you know me, sir." "Who does not, Mr. President." 1 said, "I don't know, 1 don't know, sir," he replied, as he dontinued his walk. That day was memorable history of Andrew Jackson for he was then, | might say, on trial for shis political life, in the senate of the Unit. ed States. He. had been swinging around the circle, and had dragged in his train the commander of the nited States army, Ulysses 8S. Grant, many another most prominent man in the country, through a scries of sce nes which were considered a national dis grace. On that morning the vote was taken for his impeachment, from which he was only saved by the vote of a single republican. As wo reached the cast end of the room, he paused at the window, looking out on the fierce storm which was in unison with what was passing in his mind. Under the window was a holly bush whose bright red berries were in striking contrast with the white robe of snow which covered everything else in sight. I call ed the president's attention to it and said, "That is beautiful, Mr. Presi dent." "Yes." he replied, "in the dark days of the rebellion | have scen Pre sident Lincoln stand at this window, the scalding tears rolling down his checks as train after train a as with our dead dnd dying soldiers from the battle fields of 'the south." "Oh, Mr. President," I said, "I should like to have a few di those berries as a memento of this visit." "1 will do bet- ter than that," he replied, as he touched a bell. When a servant ap- reared, he said, "Tell the gardener to give this gentleman a sprig from this holly, bush," and bidding me a short bluff good morning, left the room and I was alone. raceived the little memento and I have pressrved it through all the years which have suc- ceeded. The loaves aro hard, the her ries are shrunk, hut the memory of that day is just gs bright and clear as at the time that it occurred.

The t six-day race, so long ex- pexted, has passed, and among those who survived that perilous trial are several human wrecks, who will carry the remembrance purchased at such a costly kacrifice, to their graves.

The acclamations of a maddened crowd that didn't care a straw for the champion, or whether he lived or aiad ? ' Atl one stage of this exhibition, one of the riders who had been resting, was turned out wpon the track, once again started off, there was only one thought in that mass of bones and muscly, and that was to win; all else through life and up to death was a lank. The pent up agony eating at his heart was crushed, as he drove his machine at the utmost limit of speed. As he passed the lessening score, he could hear nothing but the shouts of the, multitude; earth, heaven, hell, Listory, everything was absorbed in that one idea, to win, but the end came at last. Championship won at such frightful sacrifice i: the victor's reward, and his carnings, a 'purse of gold. The trial is over, the lights are out, the aildiences that crowded that splendid arena have all melted in the shadows of the night. Such is the record, and the championship must already seem like a distorted dream to the wretched, ruined vistor, to whom we now tid good night. ~BROADBRINM.. ---- Drugging Won't Cure Catarrh.

Also Rele- gates The Garden Of Eden to The Same Category. ? New York, Dee. 18.--~Rev. Dr. Minot J. Savage, took the late Herbert Spencer as the theme for his discourse on Sunday and said in part : "Evolution--and that is the reason it hes Leen so hitterly opposed by so ; many of the churches--has forever de } stroyed any iatelligent Leliei on the part of anybody in the Garden of 'den, Adam and Eve, or the fall of } men. Evolaticn has forever removed these stories, and kindred ones, to the land of myth, where they belong. "Humanity has Leen on this earth for two er three hundred thousand vears at least. Humanity, however siowly has Ieen evolving,climbing from the far off beginning: there never has Leen any fall. Evolution has wrought out what Mr, Spencer places gas the cornerstone of the future--not the fall of man, but the ascent of man. "A good many people may think it | strange that 1 should think of Herbert : Spencer as having rendered any ser- { vice to religion at all; he has been | spoken of as an agncstic and an en- emy of religion; and yet, note this one thing, he is going to be recogniz- ed in the future as the man who has tendered a greater service to the re lizious life of the world than any other who has lived for a thousand years."
