"A Pleasure Book. Lonoj ago I learned that there whs no da' so dark and gloomy that it did not contain some ray of pleasure, and I have made it the business' of my life to write down the little things; which mean so much to a woman. I have a book for every year since. I left school, and u place for every day. It is but a little thing ;- the new gown, the chat with a friend, the thouglitful ness of flie husband, a flower, a book, a walk in the field, a hat ter, a concert or a drive ; but it a.ll goes into my Pleasure Book, and when I am inclined to fret I have, only to read a few pages to see ' what a happy, blessed woman I am. You may see my treasures, if you will." Slowly the peevish, discon tented woman turned , over the pages' of the books the friend brought her, reading a little here and there.'.

IIAMPTW lipJD'S ' . CONFER , KNCE. It has been asserted time and again that at the famous Hamp ton Roads Conference in 1805 Mr. -'.Lincoln proposed to the confederate comiriissioners, Messrs; Hunter, Stephens, ami Campbell, that the United States Would pay $100,000,000 for the slaves on the condition thaHthe southern states would. tthen abandon the war and 're-.' turn to the Union. In his ad- dress at the ex-confederate re union in this city Judge H. Reagan, postmaster general of the confederate states, and only surviving member of-.Mr. Davis' cabinet, said: "I wish to as sert most soleninlv that no such olfer in any form was ever .made."; As this assertion has been called in question by many prominent men, Judge Reagan comes oeiore tne tniniic ouco more 'With a copious array of proofs io inake it gof)d. As we see'' the matter, he virtually demonstrates the truth of his previous utterance, and renders it clear that Mr. Lincoln dv nianded "the unconditional sur render of the confederacy as the sine qua non of-peace, and that, if he uttered any remark about paying for the slaves, it was simply the expression of an in dividual feeling upon his jjKirt a lid not sin official oiler.

Working amid every privation and hard ship the total wealth of hun dreds of gold-diggers in Alaska was only about a million dol lars. In less than a week, amid the excitement of the stock mar ket, one operator, Mr. James R. Keene, made a clear profit of two million dollars.

Patterson one of the leaders of his-, race in the south, a graduate of the Uni versity of Michigan, a teacher in "the .state normal college and a highly respected negi, was murdered at .the altar. The tragedy grew out of a bitter fac tional tight between the locil negro Baptists. ov rthe expulsion of Rev. J. T. Brown from, tin? pastorate of the big church for alleged immoral conduct with a member of his flock. Patterson led the fight-'against him and Rev. A. J. Stokes, pastor of another church, sided with Brown. This morning when the state congress convened an argument between 'Stokes and Patterson over the Brown case resulted in a fist fight, when some negro from the crowd shot ami killed Patterson. The colored popula tion is very much wrought up. This afternoon a posse composed of negroes captured George Ritchett, who had gone into tlie woods. He confesses to having done the shooting. Preachers Stokes "and Brown, IS racy and Branan and five other -prominent negroes have been arrest ed. A conspiracy is alleged to have existed. An investigation by the coroner was begun this afternoon,; but has not been completed. The grand jury is i being held in session to c msider the case. Lynching was talked j of to-night.
