HE BROKE THE QUORUM.

Locked Doors Could Not Keep Abe
 Lincoln in the Legislative Chamber.
 "President Lincoln," said western Senator the other day, "was nothing if not original, and some of his poli- tical devices while a member of the Legislature of Illinois were marked by aquiet and ingenious readiness of re- source which was sui generis and could put to shame the most cunning tricks of these after days in the matter of quorums, caucuses and deadlock"
 "Here is sample of his genius in that particular line," continued the Senator, "which have never seen in print. MT. Lincoln was always an enthusiastic advocate of internal inn provements, and while a member of the Legislature left no stone unturned to further the good cause. In 1856 the Illinois and Michigan Canal was begun, and patriotic Illinoisans pro- phesied that in cheapening transport ation and the cost of comodities deli vered almost at the farmers doors it would prove veritable Fl Dorado to the state. The following year, how ever, was one of deep financial gloom and disaster, from which the State of Illinois suffered so greatly that all in- ternal improvements were suspended for season. During one session of the Legislature the majority was very anxious to secure a vote suspending the prosecution of all public work within the state. The question of no quorum was raised; but an actual count revealed the fact that there was exactly quorum present with not one man to spare. The Speaker ordered the sergeant-at-arms to lock all the doors to prevent 'bolting' and secure a vote. The fact that some of the win dows were open, however, had either | been overlooked or else no one for 8 moment supposed that any member would be so rash as to seek an exit from the building through windows | which were more than fifteen feet from the ground. Mir. Lincoln, how ever, after quick survey of the situ- ation, went to one of the windows, and putting his long compass-like legs over the sill, he let himself down until he hung by his tinger-tips, and then drop ped gently and unhurt to the ground.
 "It is true," sententiously observed the Senator, ''that no man who did not stand six feet three inches in their boots would have ventured upon such heroic measures; but MT. Lincoln not only broke that quorum all to smash, but showed how profitable both pres ence of mind and absence of body may prove to be at one and the same time." New York Tribune.
