Glimpses of Lincoln.
"reminiscences, by Noah Brooks

~SAASOes Oy ANOeh DAOOASs
So much has been written about
Lincoln's private life and personal
habits, that it seems unnecessary
now to add more than a word. He
was simple in all his tastes; liked old
songs and old poetry. He was al
ways neatly, but not finically dress.
ed. He disliked gloves, and once /
saw him extract seven or eight pairs
of gloves from an overcoat pocket,
where they had accumulated after
having been furnished him by Mrs.
Lincoln. Usually, he drank tea and
coffee at the table, but he preferred
milk, or cold water. Wine was nev-
er on the table at the White House,
except when visitors, other than fam.
lily friends, were present. The Pres
ident's glass was always filled, and
he usually touched it to his lips.
Sometimes he drank few swallows.
but meyer a whole glass, probably.
He was cordial and affable, and his
supplemented manners made
strong Impression upon those who
met him for the first time. [ have

ing, to 60 away in tears. Once /
found him sitting in his chair so col
lapSsd and weary that he did not
look mp TO speak when [ addressed
him. He put out his hand mecbani-
cally, as if to shake hands, when !
told him | had come at his bidding.
1t was several minutes before he was
reused enough to say that he chad
had mighty hard day" Once, too,
at a reception in the White House.
l joined the long "qurue" of people,
shook hands with him, received the
usual "Glad to see you, sir" he pass
ed on. Later in the evening, meet
ing me, he declared that he had not
seen me before, and explained his
preoccupation of manner while the
people were shaking hands with him
by saying that he was shrinking of
a man down South" 1t aftsrward
came out that ''the man down South"
was Sherman. Once when visitor
used profane language in his pres
ence, he rose and said, 81 thought
Senator q. had sent me a gentleman.
l was mistaken. There is the door,
and l wish you good night" At an
other time, delegation from a dis
tant state waited on him with a
written protest against certain ap.
pointments. The paper contained
some reflections upon the character
of Senator Baker, Lincoln's old and
beloved friend. With great dignity
the President said, "This is my paper
which you have given me?" AS
sured that it was, he added, "To do
with as please ?" "Csrtainly, Mr..
President" Lincoln stopped to the
fireplace behind him, laid it on the
burning Goals, turned and said,
"Good day, gentlemen"

THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation Of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
AS dressing, nothing has been
found so efectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M. D., State As

constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and

No further progress has been made
in the negotiations for Congress, and
the Ministerial statement in Parlia-
ment last night gave little information
as to the real difficulty. There seems
to be great fear among the Ministers
that Russia has made some secret
agreement with Turkey, and there is a
possibility that Russia will be request
ed to deny the existance' OF such a
secret treaty before England will enter

SHERMAN CHANGE. HIS OPINION


Ben Buffers assertion on the floor of
the House of Representatives, that
John Sherman, Secretary of the Treas
ury, deserved hanging for his financial
heresles. seems to have had good
effect on that gentleman. In a recent
Official Interview with the House Com
mlttee on Coinage. Sherman expressed
the opinion that one hundred millions
OF the new silver dollars can be put in
circulation aud kept ut par with gold
AS the coinage of these dollars is limit
ed by the Act authorizing their issue to
four millions per month, and the
capacity of the mints does not exceed,
perhaps. three millions per month, 1t
will take about three years to get suf-
fcient silver in circulation to cause it
to SINK below par in gold, as John
Sherman now sees it. What a change
has been wrought in Shermau's fuan.
ciai views in the last few weeks.
Before Butler spoke and. the silver bill
passed. he predicted that the remoneti-
zation OF silver would send gold up
aud United States bonds down;
that it would destroy the credit of
the Nation Abroad ruin the COM
merce OF the country, swindle the
lRborer out Of ten eents on the dollar.
and produce all manner of imaginary
evils. Yet In less than three weeks
after Butler spoke and the silver bill
passed he officially announces as his
belief that $lOU. 0Oo. 600 in silver dollars
can be kept at par with gold, and recon-.
mends the passage of an Act making
half aud quarter dollars excha ngeable
at Government money repositories at
par in sums of 500 for new silver
dollars. Ii Ben Butler or ANYBODY
else thinks that Sherm al. ca n not change
his financial views. as occasion may
require, to en- ,ble him to keep al the
head OF the Treasury Department, his
recent somersaust on the silver cues.

ABOLISH The BANKS.

Now that the silver question is
settled, and. contrary to the predictions
of the Gold Ring and Its claquers, the
new dollars are selling in the New
York market at their par value 10 gold,
Congress should turn it's attention to
the national banks. There is no me-
cessity whatever for their existence
They are neither useful nor ornamen
tai, and in justice to the people who
are taxed to support them, they ought
to be abolished. Their owners draw
interest semi annually in gold from the
people on the bonds which they deposit
in the National Treasury to secure the
redemption of their notes. These Sc
ourities are not subject to taxation for
any purpose whatever, aud the wealthy
corporations which own them are not
compelled to pay one cent toward the
support OF the nation, state, county or
city in which they reside. This is i'm
posing doable burden on poor men
whose capital Is invested in other
property than national banks. They
are not only taxed to support til
Government which affords themselves
and their property protection. but must
also pay to protect the lives and prop.
erty of the rich bank owners. Congress
should at once, by appropriate legisla.
ton. change this state of affairs. A
law should be passed abolishing the
banks. and authorizing the issue of
Government notes to the extent of their
circulation. A greenback COSTS the
Government nothing except the cost of
printing; but the national bank notes
in circulation costs it about six per
cent per annum in gold coin, ami
ne.the. the principle on which this in
terest is paid, nor the interest itself is
taxed tor any purpose. 1t is about
S time this drain on the National Treas
ury was stopped. The Government
has been run in the interest of corpora
tons and monopolies long enough, and
as miihons of dollars can be saved to
the people by abolishing the banks and
redeeming their securities in green
backs. which draw no interest, an Act
of Congress to that effect would be very
acc eptable to the people. John Sher-
mans pets have had things run their
way long enough; Congress should now
legislate for the people.
