A Frcnchman,s Lite OF Lincoln.

M. Joualt, who was q witness Of Presi'
dent Lincoln's assassination, has written
his life, and Hachette & Co. publish it.
He thus describes Lincoln at his second
inauguration ellis movements were
slovcnly and awkward; his form was
long, lanky and angular, and was more
than six feet in height; his shoulders were
stopped, and at his side dangled long,
listless arms that might have befitted a
boatman, and which terminated in hands
of extraordinary size, not disproportion-
ate, however, to that of his feet. He
wore an ill.fitting black coat that gave
him the appearance Of an undertaken,
and black cravat fastened with large
bow, the ends of which hung carelessly
over his coat flaps. His turned.down
shirt collar displayed to view the muscles
Of a sallow and sinewy throat, above
which emerging from a quantity Of wiry
black hair, just like a grove of frs, rose
face irresistibly attractive. If I was
astounded at first by his lengthy extrem-
tiles and enormous ears, was soon fas.
cinated by the benignancy, the intelli-
gence, and the air of simple wisdom, that
characterized his physiognomy." The
same evening, our author was presented
to Mr.. Lincoln at the w hite House. He
saw him twice afterward, at a banquet
and at ball, and then finally 1T the
scene Of his death-Ford's theatre. He
witnessed the incidents of the murder,
and it was the horror created in his mind
by the event, as we'll as his admiration of
the illustrious victim, which inspired the
present volume, for it was commenced a
few days after his death, though only
now completed. "Since then,' says NJ.
Joaalt in his preface, faithful to his
memory, have endeavored to reproduce
him as I knew him, and to make the
wisest, justest and honestest man of this
our nineteenth century live over again.

"What time is it p asked the mother.
"Half.p.st one,'' said the baby. There
was great astonishment in the household
when the infant spoke up SO promptly in
answer to demand for the time Of day,
for he was only two days old It was
in humble residence on Lafayette street
in Detroit. The family gathered around,
and the baby proceeded to speak further.
He said that IN two years agreat religious
war would come, between the Catholics,
and the Protestants, and that the Catho:.
lies would be victorious, wiping their
enemies from the face Of the earth, and
avenging the wrongsof centuries. Then
the baby stopped. The inspiration ceased.
His infantile features lost their seraphic
expression, and he was .'only baby"
after that. !. In = few hours he was dead.
There was great excitement in the neigh.
borhood Of Lafayette street, and much
talk was indulged in over the infant s
miraculous speech and the bloody proph-
ecy which it contained. There 10 no
