Mr.. LINcoLN's HoNEsTY.-The fol-
lowing story is told to show the rigid
honesty of President Lincoln in early
life: When he was Postmaster in Il
small Illinois village word came that
the postoilice agent would be along in q
day or two to collect the money due to
the Government. 1t was about S75,
and one of Lincoln's friends, alarmed
lest the young Postmaster should be
embarrassed by the sudden demand for
so much money, offered to lend him
the sum. Mr.. Lincoln declined with
thanks the proftered kindness, and,
going to the upper shelf of closet,
brought down bag containing the
amount in the very coins which had
come into his hands. He said that he
never allowed himself to use, even for
a day, money which was in his posses
sion belonging to other people.

being lately on journey, was attacked
few miles beyond Winchester by .
single highwayman, who. taking him
by surprise, robbed him without resis-
lance. of his purse and pocket book,
containing cash and notes to a very con-
siderable amount. Sir" says the
rider. with great presence OF mind, Il

and you are very welcome to it. 1t is

any hurt. But as it will look very
cowardly in me to have been robbed

pistol through my hat" with all

whereabouts will you have the ball ?"
Here, replies the rider, pointing to it,

word, but the moment he had fired.
the rider seized the opportunity to
knock him OF his horse, and the fellow

WAsmNGToN, September 25.-The
Postohice Department is preparing pro-
posals for carrying the mails in Ohio,
Indiana, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi,
Kentucky and Tennessee, which will be
published in November, and the open
ing will be in February next. The mail
service, under these proposals, will he
about double, as on all routes where the

houses will have daily service.
The Freedmen's Bank.
WASHINGTON, September 25.-Ths
Ercning star publishes an interview with
Senator Bruce, chairman Of the Senate
committee to investigate the affairs OF
the Freedmen's Bank, in which the
Senator is reported to have said that mas
much as he was the only member OF
the committee at present in the city, he
felt constrained to keep paddock on his
mouth. but he said: when we do
make our report there will be startling
revelations which ! cannot now speak
OF. Now there is one great trouble !
find our experts have in balancing the
books, and that is that just when they
reach that point which ought to lead to
some important developments, they find
that three or four pages Of
the ledger are torn out What | want
to do is t. induce Congress to buy
the Freedmen's Bank building and the
property up to the corner OF Sixteenth
street. Ii such a sale can be effected, |
will guarantee that an additional divi-
dend OF % per cent will be paid to the
bank creditors. With the 80 per cent. al
ready paid, and the 20 per cent. addl-
tional which anticipate the bank will
pay, the payments will aggregate q
total Of 90 per cent, and that is all, !
think, ever will be paid. What ought to
be done 10y Congress is, to buy the
building and discharge the three com
missioners, who have for years been
drawing a salary Of 1000 per year.
