A Modest Request.

tits related Of President Lincoln, TINT
recently farmer applied to him to secure
his assistance ip collecting . bill against the
Government, for damages done by troops
passing through his premises. The Presi
dent referred him to the proper officer,
whose duty it was to attend to such matters.
But the man was anxious that Mr.. Lincoln
should examine the case personally, aud
give an order to have it settled. Then
said he, ''they will attend to it at once ;
otherwise may have to wait long time. y
but have no leisure to look after such
things" said The President. ut won't
take but a few minutes" urged the man.
"You remind me Of what occurred to a
friend Of mine on the Mississippi rifsr, "
said the President. "He was a Captain of
a steamboat, and when rassng through the
rapids, he always took the wheel, and steer
ed the boat himself. One day when he was
in the most difficult part Of the stream, a
boy came blubbering up to him, crying,
Captain, Captain We'll, what do you
wantp o! do stop the boat, I've lost my
apple overboardl'" The farmer saw the
point of the story, and wisely concluded to
collect his bill in the usual routine manner.

Vallandisham's Address.

From Windsor over the border, MIR. Val
landigham has issued an address to his brave
associates, the partners OF his toll, his feel
ings and his fame, upon their bad defeat.-
He says: "You have been beaten --by what
mesns II is idle now to enquire" This Is
quite disinterested. But the Democratic
party is discussing this enquiry, and very
generally arriving at the conclusion that
Vallahdigham was the means Of the beat
We doubt If he can suppress this freedom
of discussion The Democratic party is now

which is next thing to lying refugees. This
refugee fabricates one big enough for q bor-
