to his departure for the theater. Wben

to Mr. llncoln, and I know that they
Wero the ust to see him. However,
hot very long'before they came, Mr.
Uhcoln had received a visit from Mar-
shal lVaman, who was from the presi-
dent's borne district and It was Mr.
Lamon who bad Introduced mo to the
president when I received my appoint-
ment In November, 1WM. • Mr. Lamon
wanted to talk to Mr. Lincoln about a
pardon for an old friend, a soldier who
had been found guilty, of some slight
vfokitloa of. army regulations. The
case was thoronnbly gone over by tbe
two, and, with pen In hand, Mr. Lin-
coln wns In the net of sl(ralnn;,thc pa-
per which would make tmj soldier a
free man when be turnd to Mr. Lamon
and sold: • • •
** 'Lamon,.do yon know how tbo Pat-

"•No, I do not Mr. Lincoln,' WOB the
reply. . ' •
" -Well. Lamon. tt Is their habit to
open them as fast as they can throw
the shells out of tho window, and, when
tbe pile of sheila grows to bo higher
than tho house, why, tbey pick up
stakes and move. -Now, Lamon, I feel
like.beginning a new pile of pardons;
and I guess this. Is a good ono to begin
oa* . : •
'It wasn't long after this before the
other gentlemen came, and when they
hud fiblsbed tbelr call Mr. and Mrs.
Lincoln came down, andil went with
them to tho carrlnge. '. That was tbo
last, time I saw tbe good man alive."
Mr. Pendc) says that he-bad every op-
portunity to study the president; for lie
Was In tbe room with him nearly all
the time—a bodyguard. Mr. Lincoln
did not like the Idea of being guarded
and made frequent objections to having
some ono.constantly near him.' On one
occasion ho said to Mr. Pendel:
"Pendel, I do not Ilko to be guarded,
but I have received a number of threat-
ening letters lately. I have no fears,
however- That fellow we saw over at
the. war department crouching at tbe
foot of the stairs and wbo eyed me sus-
piciously answers perfectly the descrip-
tion of a man I was warned to look out
for In a letter I received tbo other day."
JAPANE8E ART AND ARTISTS.
At about the time tint American peo-
ple saw theslnnular beauty and dovel-
opment of irt In'Japan the people of
Japan; recognized the vast wealth In
tbe United States.' Tho result was a
limited Invasion of Auurlcnn territory
by "all sorts of little profeHalonala from
tho njlkndate. One. n fresco painter,
said recently: :' . : '
"I find New York a better market
thiin Tokyo,, wbe« 1 fbrtneriy-hatl-my-
studio. Much better prices aro' paid
here, nnd there, to very much (ess com-
petition. I Ilko my new. customers, but
havo great trouble • with them because
they do not understand art, and all
desire mo to do ridiculous things. Thus
a abort tlmo ago n woinnn wboso bou-
doir, I wne decoratlnu caino to'mo and
said: Those birds arc. beautiful, and
the leaves and .water make my eyes
glisten, they are no f ull. of BUhUght
Now please put in two or three big
cobwebs ' and' a dragon—a nice, big
droBon, that Is dcllclouidy. hideous.'
explained to her tbat thesr) things were
Incompatible, but nho would bave her
way, and I did tbo .work, and I'm
ashamed of It I have many friends
hero who have about tbe BUUIC expe-
rience ns myself. One Is a sculptor, or
wood carver, who nuikcs lum-rcllcfa
on Japuueso subjects, but. If necessary,
will do It on American'subjecta An-
other Is an embroiderer, whose ucedlo
b) ns skillful as a painter's brusb. A
third Is a china decorator and a fourth
a fuumaker. The funmnker, I am sor-
ry to say, does not seem to bo. appre-
ciated. American women want Ivory
or mother of pearl sticks, wttb lace,
and u|lk on them, which aro clumsy
nnd usly tuluus. but do not seem to
cure for tbe gruceful couecptlons of
I Jnpun. where a fan Is as much n mat-,
ter of toilet as a gown or a. Ikonnet.'
"There Is also an artist lu tortoise
shell, who la prosperous: but. alas for
art, moat of bis' work cniiHlHts' In re-
pulrlug .tortoise shell objects and'not
In; creating beautiful dtvlRiis. The oth-
er day bo repaired a tortoise shell boat
which IB a child's toy ut UOiuo. and ho
received for his work 15, which Is ten
times what the boat would cost at
Yokohama.- One or our artists stayed
hero a »bort time and then went Imck.
Ho wns an art confectioner and could
I make suirar and otber thluss Into any
conceivable form—muu, plant or anl-
uiuL I have seen' him make n Uttle
temple and a urove out of sugar which
was 'as beautiful an n painting, .but'

two weeks they put him to work mak-
ing caramels and then taffy, and he

Imagine a leg as being put Is that of
an organ of hearing. Yet such nc*ma
to be ono at leant of the functions of
the foro less In tbo cricket. On the
outer side of tbe tibia a small oval
space may bo aeen. In which the" strong
armature which covers the-rest of the
body Is reduced to a thin and mem-
branous condition, making thus a sort
of window or drumhead. Communt-
catlug wltb this. Inside the leg, are tbe
ends of a. nerve, and It can hardly be
doubted therefore, that the whole ap-
paratus couatltutes an auditory organ.

The leg has Its own woes, to which
It falls heir from the-legacies, of exer-
cise. Grooms and cavalry officers are
Inclined to have bowlcgs and to "toe
