A COM EDY IN REAL LIFE.

Written for The Evening Star.
The arrival of the statue Of Gen. Shields
in Statuary Hail. and its position not far
from that Of Lincoln. has given rise to a
thousand memories among the men who
knew the parties in the early days of Illi-
nois. AS a lad in his teens knows men it
was my fortune to know James Shields and
Abraham Lincoln in the thirties, when they
both were on the uphill side Of life. when
most of their loves, aspirations and ambi-
tons were yet to be fulfilled.
In view of the coming event Of the I'M
yelling Of the statue OF Gen. Shields-the
warrior statesman and jurist-it may be
matter of interest to relate some comic
events in his early history. which will not
be mentioned during the unwilling ceremo-
MES. What l shall say were matters Of
common chat around the firesides in the
forties, and have since become matters of
record by Mr.. Lincoln's old friend and
partner. Herndon. whom I well knew in
the early days 1 will follow Herndon's
narrative. making the story as short as
possible. Mr.. Lincoln called the affair

bachelor from Tyrone county. Ireland and

by the prominence the office gave him. he
at once assumed a conspicuous position In
the society of Springfield. He was extreme
ly sensitive by nature. but exposed himself
to merciless ridicule by attempting to es-
tablsh his supremacy a beau among the
ladies. Blind to his defects. and very pro-
nounced in support OF every act of the
democratic party, he made himself the
target for all the bitterness and ridicule of
the day. 1t happened that the financial re-
sources Of the state. owing to the collapse
OF the great Internal improvement system,
were exceedingly limited. and people were
growing restless under what they deemed
