A FRESH ANECDOTE OF LINCOIN.-The
humor of the Presidents jokes was more in
the apt illustration they were made to fetch
out than in any wit originating IN himself,
and this is one in point: The common Coun-
Gil OF Baltimore, while we were in command
there, passed some very patriotic resolutions,
and after they were engrossed a committee
was sent to read them to the President.
was ordered by the General commanding to
escort the said committee and introduce 1t to
Mr.. Lincoln. In due course of travel we
found ourselves IN the presence OF the tall,
thin, angular servant of the people, and
made formal introduction Of the represent.
atives of the city fathers, after which the
chairman read off, in loud, clear voice, the
patriotic resolves. During the reading OBJ.
served a twinkle in the Presidents eye ind-
cative of mischief, and, when the resolves
were ended, Mr.. Lincoln said: Gentlemen,
this reminds me OF little story once heard
from temperance lecturer. 1t was Of an in
temperate citizen, who came home one night
very drunk He worked his way into the
kitchen, and sitting down IN a melancholy
way before the fire, was soon taken with an
attack OF nausea, and began throwing up the
contents of his stomach, and, not being care
ful in so doing, disturbed Il basket OF Cos
llngs his good wife had placed near the fire
to keep warm. The little things, not accus-
toned to being ted at that hour, nor used to
bad whisky, made such a cry that the wife
came in with a candle to see what was the
matter with her pets. AS she held the light
over them the husband gazed in solemn Won
der at the birds, and then pointing at them
asked anXiouSly, Wife, when in the world
did | swallow them things' Gentlemen"
continued the President, ain the same man
ner, | want to know when you swallowed
them things" My poor committee was ter
rbly taken aback, evidently contemplating Il
hasty retreat, for they laughed Historically,
while was fairly rolling over with the gen.
ulne article, when Mr.. Lincoln added
Come, gentlemen, let US take glass of
whisky and take the taste of them things
out of our mouths. "-Don PidH.
