AnecdOto Of Lincoln.

In May, 1862, . great many civil ap-
pointments were made into the regular
army, and among them an old friend
and comrade Of Mr.. Lincoln, who lived
in an adjoining county, was appointed
Captain in the Thirteenth infantry. This
man was character in his own way,
but he would get drunk; and within q
year he was tried by courtmartial, and
convicted of lying drunk all day, while
in full uniform, in front of q whisky. den.
he was cashiered, but went at once to
Washington to get reinstated. Tie
official approaches to the President went
to pieces like cobwebs at the attack, and
he rushed into the supreme presence
and stated his case and claim with as
little hesitation as he would have had in
stating the merits Of hog case in Mr..
Lincoln's dingy old Office at Springfield.
The attack was 80 sudden, and the eager
face OF his old chum was so enthusiastic,
that the good President could only
stammer:
"Why, Capt. -, there are men in
the War Department who say you are
not fit to be Captain in the armyr
By, Mr.. President" was the
reply, q there are men out West who say
you are not fit to be President."
Either because the force of this un-
reasonable answer was irresistible, OF
because the Presidents kindness for
his old friend overcame his official dis
cretion, the bibulous Captain was re-
appointed.-SpriaQfe (Ill) Register.
