Abraham LincOIn--Ris Personal

j. ?. Luse, Of The Lafayette Journal, b as
paid visit to the President elect From
this letter we make the following extracts:
What strikes every stranger upon his
first interview with Mr.. Lincoln is the ut
ter absence Of all a1ectation, the simple
plain, almost blunt directness of his charac-
ter. This is as obserVant in his manner as
in his conversation. One is apt to suppose
that he would now observe something of
official reticence, yet no subject is broached
upon which he seems to hesitate in the
frank expression of his opinion. One needs
to be in his presence but few minutes to be
convinced that, Notwithstanding the awful
ly responsible and even critical position in
which he is placed, he has lost nothing Of
his proverbial geniality of disposition, his
buoyancy of spirits, or his love of dry hu-
! NOR, good Jokes and droll stories. The man
has terrible penchant for story telling
He seemed to forget, at times, bis position
as President elect in his reception room, and
to feel that he was again son the circuit
in some country cOunty-seat, court adjourn
ed, attorneys, judges, and clients about the
bar-rOom fire, Willing away the evening
hours with amusing "reminiscences and ludi-
crous anecdotes. | verify believe he would
| crack joke at the crack of doom. He is
unquestionably fellow of infinite wit and
most exquisite humor and one who will set
the table in roar, even though the gloomy
countenance of TOombs glowers over the
board the wrathful visage of Wigftl
frowns at the merry company.
+" In reply to an inquiry as to his opinion
Of Mr. Noelps (of Missouri proposition to
abolish the office of President and substitute
of4 !.
from different sections of the coniederacy,
lie said pleasantly that he could not favor
such proposition until after the expiration
of his term-that he was opposed to inter
ference with vested rights.
Among other odd presents which have
! been sent him is log-chain which has been
/ cut out of a rail. 1t seemed to be twelve feet
/ long and every link perfect. Some one re-
marked to him that he would need that to
! bind the Union together. He replied laugh
ingly, something much stronger than that
will be required, if matters continue long to
