responded to child's advances, He in
dulged HE own children, saying, at Is
my pleasure that my children are free

al tyranny. Love is the chain whereby
to bind child to its parents"
Before his election in 1851 little girl
of II years, seeing his Autograph por.
trait, thought his appearance would be
Improved should he wear whiskers.
She uttered her childish thought IN a
letter to Mr.. Lincoln, and in few DAYS
received a friendly answer, in which he
asked:
GAS to the whiskers, as l have never
worn any, do you not think that people
would call it piece of silly affectation
were to begin wearing them now p
Daring his journey to Washington,
after his election to the Presidency, the
train stopped at Westfeld, Chautauqua
County, at which place the little girl re-
sided.

said Mr.. Lincoln, "a little GIrl whose
name is Grace Bedell, and l would like
to see her.
She was brought to the station He
stepped from the cars, extended his
hand, and said. "You see have let
those whiskers grow for you Grace"
Then kissing her, he babe her good-by.
When he stood up at the Capitol to de-
liver his inaugural address, friends were
surprised to see that the President
was raising crop of whiskers. Vexed
at his spelling face which expressed
power and pathos by wearing coarse,
stiff, ungraceful beard of the backing
brush variety, they made inquiries, and
learned that he had ceased TO shave to
crafty young lady Youths Compan-

In the meantime Old Zeke, the Hairy

twenty-five OF thirty Indians, and then
released the girl and got her something

ABOUT HOGI,

A private correspondent writing
from Houston to a party in this city,
writes about HOgg's appearance in
that city as follows:
LAS matter of gossip Attorney
General HOgg made a speech last
Saturday night at Turner hall in
Houston, in his candidacy for COVER
nor. 1t was an appeal to the com
munistic, labor and all elements OPP
posed to capital, and did him a very
great deal of injury. He NAV be able
to carry the county through the
influence of the Knights Of LABOR and
the Farmers Alliance, but / doubt
it. He disgusts the better element
by his attempts at humor, which
were very heavy, and while he had a
large audience of ladies he
INDUCED in such gross COM
PARSONS and so much lang that hes
forfeited the respect of large num-
Der of people who would have I'M
dOubtedly supported him on his repu-
tation for strict integrity, but who be-
lieve that the high office of gov
ernOr OF thestate of the state of Texas
is, TO a certain extent, ornamental.
This little sketch of HOgg, at his
best, convinces us that HOgg will get
the democratic nomination. Coke
pulled off his coat when addressing
an audience in San Antonio, and it
won him the admiration of the I'M

If the city succeeds in this suit and three

city. All the evidence is in today and
the case will be concluded tomorrow.
Whatever decision is given by Judge

from to the Supreme Court in banc, or to
the Court of Errors, or may go to the
Courc of Chancery. Mr.. Collins said that
a new trial might be had also. The final
disposition of the case is at present only a
matter of conjecture.
