I'm the following paragraph from the
Century Life OF Lincoln an account is
given, from the diary Of Col. Hay him
self. OF an extraordinary incident Of the
gear 1861. which has given rise to many
'umors: The friendly visits OF the
President to army headquarters were
continued almost every night until the
18th Of November, when an incident oc-
,urred which virtually put an end 20
them. On that evening Mr.. Lincoln
walked across the street as usual. ac-
.ompanied by one OF his household. TO
the residence OF the Secretary OF State,
and after short visit there both OF
hem went TO General McClellan's house
IN III street. They We're there told that
the general had gonc TO the wedding Of
m officer and would soon return. They
waited nearly an hour in the drawing
room, when the general returned, and,
without paying any special attention TO
the orderly, who told him the President
was waiting 10 see him, went up stairs
The President, thinking his name had
not been announced TO the general,
again sent servant 20 his room and re-
ceived the answer that he had gone 10
bed. Mr.. Lincoln attached no special
Importance TO this incident, and, SO far
as we know, never asked nor received
any explanation OF il. But IL was not
unnatural that he should conclude that
his frequent visits had become irksome
10 the general, and that he should dis
continue them. There was no cessation
Of their friendly relations, though after
this most Of their conferences were held
ut the Executive mansion.

of the component parts of what the

there is always chance of seeing his

author, the leading lady and the
comedian--and sometimes to the cred

period OF wretched anxiety, tenn
