nishcd The last number Of the Art Jour-
nal with a noticeable contribution of
further "reminiscences of Mr.. Lincoln.
After writing about the late Presi

pcntcr givcsa number OF anecdotes on
other points:
AHANDSoNE PRESIDENT.
a One day the Hon. Thaddeus Ste
vens called with an elderly lady, in
great trouble, whose son had been in
the army, but for some offence had
been court imarlialeG,, and sentenced
either to death or Imprisonment at
hard labor for Il long term, / do not
rccollcct which. There were somc
teXteDnating circumstances, and alter
a fuil hearing tho President turned to
the Representative and said gMr
Stevens, do you think this is d cac
which win warrant my inlerfcrepceF
f"Witl my Knowledge Of the facts ami
iho parties, was the reply, Il should
tbayc no hesitation.in granting par
don. Then, returned Mr.. LincolD;
Twill pardon him = and he proceeded
forthwnh 10 ctecntc the paper.
The gratitude Of the mother wds
too deep for expression, save By her
tears, and uota word was said between
her and Mr Stevens until they were
| half way down stairs on their passage
out. when she suddenly broke forth in
an excited manner with the words 81
knew it was = Copperhead lie = "Wha.
DO you refer to, madam 2 asked Mr..
Stevens. Why, they told me he was
IAN ugly looking man." she replied,
with vehcmehcc. Gle is the hand
somest man | ever saw in my life?'--
And surely for that mother, and for
many another throughout the land. nd
carved statute Of ancient or modern
art, IN all its symmetry, ever can have
the charm which will lorevermore en-
circle the care-worn bat gentle face,
expressing as was never expressed be
fore, Malice toward none-Charity

THE SPRINGFIELD APPAGrT1oN.
Ny attention has been two or three
times called To a paragraph now GO
ny the rounds Of the news papers
iconcerning Il singular aPpafitiCr of
himself in looking, glass, which Mr.
lLincoin is stated TO have seen on the
day he was first nominated at Chica.
20. The story as told, is quite iiGdf-
rect, and made to appear very mys-
tcriods; and believing that the taste
! (pr the Supernatural is sufficiently mih>
lst,rcd unto without perverting the
facts, / will tell the story as the Presi-
dent told it toJohn Hay, the Assistant
Private Secretary and myself. We
were in his room together about dark
the evening of the Baltimore CGnver-
tion. The gas had just been lighted,
and he had been telling US how he
had, that afternoon, received the news
Of the nomination Of Andrew johnson
for Vice President before he had heard
of his own. -..- s..-.
1t seemed that the dispatch annouR-
cing his jsrc-nomination had been sent to
his Office from the War Department
whhe he was at lunch. Directly af-
terward, without going back to the Of
hcial chamber, he proceeded to the
War Department. While there the
| telegram came announcing the nom
| inaliOn Of Johnson. What said he
TO the operator, do they nominate q
Vice Prcsidect before they do Pres
ident?' Why replied the asrOnlsh-,
ed official, "have you not heard of
your own uominstion 1t was sent to
the White house two hours ago" at
is all right, replied the President, 81
shall probably lind it on my return"
Laughing pleasantly over this incl
dent, he said soon afterwards: "a very
singular occurrence took place the day
| was nominated at Chicago, four
years ago, which | am reminded of to-
night. In tho afternoon Of the day,
returning home from down town, l
went up stairs 10 Mrs, Lncoln's sitting
room. Feeling somewhat tired | laid
down upon couch in the room direct
ly opposite Il bureau upon which was
Il looking glass. As reclined my ego

except that one was u little paler than
the other. | rose AMI laid down again
with the same result. 1t made me
quite teunromtortab.e toratew moments,
but some friends coming in the matter
passed out OF my mind.
Tho next day while walking in the
street | was suddenly reminded OF the
circumstance, and the disagreeablc
sensation produced by it returned. !

before, md did not know what TO
