fierce and determined, has pushed his
chair back as if he had said all he had
to say; Seward in profile, and Welles
opposite, are evidently talking; while
Smith, Blair and Bates stand respect
fully back. Look at the picture we'll
note it's solemnity, the air Of serious and
anxious thought not unduly studied,
dramatic. Now, l will tell you how
that thing really happened. Two days
before tho proclamation was issued
there had been q cabinent meeting in
which no business of an unusual charac-
ter, was transacted, and the secretaries
were surprised to receive next morning
summons to q special meeting to be held
that day. They met promptly at the
white house at twelve, and going to Mr..
Lincoln's room found him sitting in his
great armchair, his long legs crossed,
an open book in his hand, and pecu-
liarly amused look on his face. "Sit
down." said he to the gentlemen as they
came in. 81 want TO read you something
funny" And he went on to read one
of Orpheus c. kerr's war letters from
the Mackerel Brigade, convulsing him
self and his hearers with laughter. But
every now and then they would look at
each other, rather wondering what it all
meant Lincoln watched the Mute in
quiries slyly, but he gave no sign OF
discovery, finished his reading, talked
about its absurdities for q few minutes,
then suddenly drew his chair up to the
table and addressed the cabinet: "Gen-
tlemen," said he, "of course, you know
this isn't what sent after you for. l
have proclamation here" he continu-
ed, opsninga paper that had been laying
carelessly folded on tho table, land I'd
like to have you see it. You need not
express an opinion upon it. Pve writ
ten it myself, and mean to publish it to-
morrow, but thought it would be prop
err to break 1t TO you first" They read
it, he signed it then and there and that
is the true story of "Sisning the Eman-
cipation." Carpenter is probably faith
full TO facts as any artist TO historic
scenes. The truth is that great events
are rarely formal. 1t is only in triaes
that we can stop to think Of approprl-
ate ceremonies.

to asitate the cream. The curvature
was promptly taken out of his splne by

he went on duty with the dasher. In
about half an hour, and during the brief
absence of his mother, his eyes fell upon
plate of fy-poison, and bright, smart
thought struck him. Just before Mrs.

put the "poison" from his lips with the
dramatic exclamation "Thcre, mother,

mustard cmciic. Seeing this, Sans

begging crying, Il was only tryin, TO

not to be sotiened, and Samuel had to
swallow the mustard. Ho was forced TO
take dose of pain killer, and his back
rubbed with "vigor of Life" and his
stomach with the "Oil Of Gladness.'
Then he vom;tcd up everything but his
boots and socks. This being over, he
took seven Ayers pills, two spoonfuls
of castor oil, a tcaspoonfal OF salts and

people of the South and West. It was measure
which should have been adopted the first week
of the present session, IA preliminary to ths
discussion OF the financial question.
Mr. WEST had been TO great extent mlarep-
resented in speeches msde by members from
other sections Of the country, and BY tho pfess
of the country. The people Of the West wero
not 10 any sense 10 favor Of reputation or OF any
financial system that would lead TO re-
pudiation Of any the honest oonsaaons 2ollEa

tion. Tnes we're, he believed, unanimously in
favor OF somo financial legielation that looked
to the carly enhancement OF tho circulating
medium to par With gold. bat ~ tao same tt'ne
ther were opposed to any system OF contraction
that would put them within the grinding power
of the moneyed monopol,sts of the county. AS
on original proposition he would not favor the
establishment Of National Bank Bystem- do
would not, if he had the power, strike it from
existence now, but hb would devise some means
Iy which it would be wound up as rapidly as it
could be done without materially affecting the
business Of the country. The bill before
tho House was right, Just. and eqalt,,
as settlement OF the financial question. Il left
the present vicious system in full foroe IN all
other respects except changed in the Con-
ference report. The people would not regard it
settlement. Congress had failed, and WOO
fully failed, in diHch4rgins its duty to the
country.
Messrs. COX and POTTER opposed the re-
port, aud Mr. O'BRIEN regarded it h another
proof OF the National Bank system, which was
the greatest monopoly that had ever bestrode as
q Colossus any country in modern times.
Mr. MAYNARD, Chairman OF the Banking
Committeo, Ba,d he should vote for the Confer
once report. He could not do otherwise. for it
contained bcnilcent provisions. At the Same
time he accepted the statement Of tho
r n:1eman from Illinois (1arthlD. This
was not the settlement Of tue ques-
