A CIRCULAR TO SCHOOLS. Btate Buperintendent Lane Calls Attention to Arbor Day, FIGURES FROM THE POOR FARM The Filing of Two Additional Divorce Cases — State House Notes — United States Court—8tate Capital News. NOOLN BUREAU.| ate Supe nd Lane bas issued the following ecircular to the pubiic schools of the state: The people of the present age have realized the importance of forest culture. Nebraska has taken the lead in this movement and her legis- lature has made Arbor Day, the22nd of April, a legal holiday. The governor by proclamation has called the attention of the people of this state to the observance of this day and urged them to celebrate ft in the planting of trecs. It isa day when the pupils of our public schools should be educated to care for the ma- terial prosperity of the country and to foster the growth of trees. Let teachers, parents and school officers, urge and encourage the child in every school district, town and citv in the state to plant trees on that day in the school yard. Let the child understand that he has a special interest in the tree he plants; that it is his; that upon him devolves the responsi- bility of protecting and cultivating it in coming years. In every yard there should be system and regularity in ar- ranging the trees, and in cities’ and towns they should be planted according to artistic designs. The school yards of the state beautihed with trees would ed- ucate the msthetic taste of the children and be a material blessing to the coun- try. I thercfore earnestly recommend that every district and school in the state engage in the observation of Arbor Day. Let the opportunity be improved to educate the rising generation to in- erease the beauty, healthfulness and fer- tility of the state and especial fhe school grounds where the children spend so many days. POOR FARM FIGURES, For the first time in many months there is on file with the county commissioners a statoment from the poor farm showing what Lancaster county has on its excel- lent farm and what it produces, and fur- ther, what it costs to keep the poor of the county. One year ago therg was on the farm 50 head of cattle, 80 head of hogs, 7 head of horses and mules. On March 1 there were 61 head of cattle, 95 head of hogs and nine horses and mules. There was raised on the farm the past year 8,000 bushels of corn, 200 bushels of wheat, 100 bushels of rye, 250 bushels of potatoes. With all this stock and this orop raised it took $3,349.30 cash in addi- tion to maintain the farm and the aver- e number ot paupers cared for during the year was twenty-four. Business men and farmers as well can figure for them- selves upon this outlay for keeping twenty-four [;coplu and judge whether a little reform is not necessary and whether the county commissioners are successful ms farmers to the poeple. AT THE STATE HOUSE, E. L.

How Abraham Lincoln Composed His Celebrated Gettysburg Oration. “Isaw one of the most splendid of compogitions in the English tongue written,” said ex-Congressman Edward MePherson, while talking about some of his recollections of Lincoln recently. I believe that it is admitted now by schol- ars that for subl! y of thought, sim- plicity and _yet elegance of expression, Inculil?' and purity of diction, Mr. Lin- coln’s brief oration at the dedication of the national m-nu:u-r?' at Gettysbur, takes place with the loftiest specimens of oratory. Many regard it as the one ora- tion of this century that will be preserved with the English tongue. Yet Mr. Lin- coln wrote it on his knee in a railroad car. It was pructically an extempora- neous composition; that is, in the sense that it was wholly unpremeditated, simply committed to paper the thought that was uppermost in his mind, and he had no idea whatever that he had writ- ten anything more than a passing thought 1n the event that he was to assist in com- memorating. “1 represented the Gettysburg district in congress at the time of the battle, and and at the dedication of the cemetery Mr. Lincoln was my guest. He was not sure that he could 'be present when he was first asked, but said that he should go to Gettysburg if possible. I think he was not prepared to say positively that he would go until a very few hours before the time set for leaving Washington. So he could not have given any thought to the oration before. 1 was his seat mate in the car, and though he talked pleas- antly, and spoke of the country through which we were passing, yet I thought he ‘was laboring with one of those spells ot profound melancholy with which he was at times afllicted. He spoke of Mr. Ev- erett, who was to deliver the chief ora- tion, and said that Everett ought to be at his best. [ knew that Mr. Everett had given even more than his usual care in preparing this oration, and looked upon 18 work as a masterpiece, and I believe 1 told Mr. Lincoin 50, and he said that the theme was great enough to inspire such an orator as Everett to his best. Mr. Lincoln, I think, had not thought of say- ing anything himself, but 1 told him that he would be expected to make a_few re- marks, for it would not be permitted him to be silent, He sat for some moments absorbed in thought, and at last began to feel in his pockets, as if for loose pu per. I asked him if he wanted paper and pencil, and he said, ‘‘Yes, a scrap of pa- per,”’ and I opened my valise and gave im two o1 three sheets of note paper. He drew up his long knees, and putting & book on them, wrote, jotting down, as 1 supposed, a few heads or -ufixcstious. He wrote rlghb along, without hesitation or erasure, and filled one page and a part of another, Then he folded it up and Kut it in his pocket, simply saying that e had set down a few lines that had oc- curred to him to say. ‘‘At the cemetery, at the proper time, he arose, put on his spectacles, and drew these sheets from his pocket. I do not think he had looked at them again after writing them in the cars, and in alow voice, which could be heard but a few feet away from the stage, he read those splenaid lines. The few who heard him were most profounaly impressed, but upon the vast thronf who saw him the oration made no impression whatever because few heard it. No proper report of the oration was made,and Mr. Lincoln crumpled the manuscript up and would very likely have thrown it away if I had not asked him for it. It was not until it had been printed in the newspaper and then widely copied that its wonderful beauty, both in thought and literary workmanship, was recognized, and Mr. Lincoln was very much surprised to learn that scholars were quoting it as the best model of pure English and pure elo- quence the language had furnished, at least in America.” There is no doubt, according to Mr. McPherson, and others who knew Lin- coln_well, that he was very catly gratified with the evidence that he re- ceived in the last years of his life that scholars and cultivated writers were pay- ing the highest tribute to his charms asa writer of English. But he was even more surprised at it. He knew that cultivated men, even after his debates with Douglas and after his first inaugural, were of opinion that he was utterly without other literary powers than those of a good stump speaker. He was believed to be a man of strong character, but wholly without literary polish, and it was generally believed that such polish a8 his greatest spoeches, such as that de- livered in Cooper institute in the winter of 1860 revealed, was the work of some cultivated friends or skillful secretaries. He had advanced far in his first term before his literary abilities began to be admitted by scholars, but his second in- augural, a very hastily written composi- tion and the Gu:?nhnrg oration brought the long delayed tributes. One of his historians points out that long before Mr. Lincoln had more than alocal re- pute he had given proof of great. liwrnr'y abilities. The historian quotes Lincoln’s srech made while in con; the subject of the Mex ess in 1848 on an war and Bays: ith this speech on record 1t is strange that the genuine literary abilities of the man were 80 long and persistently ignored by literary people. ‘here were men who voted for him for the prosi- denoy more than twelve years afterward —twelve Pun of culture and deveiop- ment to him—who were surprised to tind his messages grammatically constructed, and who T‘whd the intervention of a sccretary whenever any touch of ele- fimoo appeared in his writings.” Mr, cPherson says that there were men of cultivation who seemed dumfounded when some of Mr. Lincoln'’s speeches ven to them toread to refute their assertion that he was an illiterato boor, and some of these could not -believe that Mr. Lincoln could or did write these speeches. e Governor Hill has again aroused the ire of New York women by declining to attend a charity ball at Fultonville, that atate. ————— ‘There are many accidents and discases which affect Stock and cause serious in- convenience and loss to the farmer in his work, which may be quickly remedied by the use of Dr. J.
