Lincoln's First Inaugural.

When Mr.. Lincoln, arrived Tin
nounced time, to escape threatened
assassination, he brought his inaugu-
raj address with him ia print, rather
to the annoyance of Mr.. Seward,
who, as Secretary of State of the new
administration, had hoped to draft
the production which was so eag gerly
awaited by the country. Mr.. Lin
coin had written his inaugural at
Springfield, and bad it confiden-
TALLY put in type by his friend, the
local printer. -Four copies were
printed on foolscap paper, and whele-
ever the writer thoug hit that para
graph would be effective, he preceded
1t with typographical fist. A car
pet bag, containing these printed
copies of the forthcoming inaugural,
was intrusted by Mr.. Lincoln to his
oldest son, now Secretary of War,
who was SO taken aback by the
enthusiastic reception which he
received at Harrisburg that he per-
-mitted waiter to take it and
forgot all about it. When asked for
it 10y his father, he was forced to con-
fess that he knew not where it was.
Mr.. Lincoln Immediately started for
the baggage room, and striding over
the barrier at the door, he began over
hauling without ceremony a large
pile OF carpet bags, until he was for
tunate enough to find the one con-
tanning she precious document. At
ter arriving at Washington MIR. Lin
coin gave one copy of his inaugural
address to Mr.. Seward and another
to the venerable Francis p. Blair,
asking them to read and criticise.
Some changes were made of no great
Importance, which were given to Mr..
Nicolay, the Presidents private Sec
retary, to write in fair hand on one
of the printed copies, from which Mr..
Lincoln was to read. MIR. Nicolay
corrected another copy, which Was
furnished to the press, and which l
now own. When Lincoln came out
on the platform in front of the Capt.
tol, his tall figure rising above those
around him, the usual genial smile
upon his angular countenance. but
he seemed much perplexed to know
what to do with new silk hat and
large gold-headed cane. The cane
he put under the table, but the hat
appeared too good to place on the
rough boards. Senator Douglass
saw the embarrassment of his old
friend, and arising, took the shining
hat frcm its bothered owner and held
it during the delivery of the inaugu-
raj address. Mr.. Lincoln was listen
ed to with great earnestness, and
evidently desired to convince the
multitude before him, rather than be-
wilder aud to dazzle them. 1t was
evident to all that he honestly be-
lieved every word that he spoke, es-
pecially the concluding paragraph,
which l copy from the original
print:
''pea. am 10th to close. We are
not enemies, but friends. W. must
not be enemies. Though passion may
he strained it must not break our
bonds OF affection. nA The mystic;
chords of memofy, which stretch
from every battlefield and patriotic
grave to every loved heart and hearth
stone all over the broadland, will yet
swell the chorus of the Union when
again touched, as they surely will be,
by the better angels of our nature. VI

Boarding House Fare in Detroit.

A Detroit milkman some time since
secured a customer whom he soon
discovered meant to pay in promises,
but he realized that if he quit serving
her, he stood nO chance OF collecting
the debt already contracted. He
therefore planned to have her dismiss
him, and began by adding one-fourth
water to the milk. No fault being
found, he added SO per cent water.
Three days passed without complaint
and the amount of water rose to sew
enty-tive per cent. In three or four
days more, he served her with two
quarts of water, c0lored with a gill
of milk. Next morning he expected
to hear from it, but as the servant
girl made no complaint, he asked:
''How does the family like the
milk?"
Pretty we'll, guess ?"
