Senator Palmer of Illinois has been

Senator Palmer of Illinois has been
telling some interesting reminiscent
ces Of Lincoln. Here is one of them I:
81 came to Washington in '65 on y
mission from Gov. Oglesby, Some
mistake had been made, we thought,
in the appor,ionment nf troops, and
we had been credited with several
thousand men less than the state had
furnished, After losing my temper
with the provost.marshal | found
from Mr.. Lincoln himself that he
was cugnizant of the mistake, but
had taken the men from Illinois he.
cause he could get them more easily
there than elsewhere. AS | had re-
signed my commission to come to
Washington l asked Mr., Linculn to
assign me to duty. He proposed to
send me to Kentucky and told me to
come up the next day aud talk it over
81 went, aud sat in the ante-roum
while people passed in aud out of The
Presidents office. Finally the door
keeper came out and told me to come
in. Mr. Lincoln was in the hands of
the barber, and had his face lathered
ready for shaving,
"You're home folks, Palmer he
said Il had to shave some time, and
| couldn't do it before the others.
We talked awhile and finally l said,
If l had known that we were going
to have big war, l should never
have thought of going to Springfield
and getting one-horse lawyer for
President
"Mr. Lincoln wheeled about in his
chair, and l thought he was mad.
Neither would l, Palmer, he
said. Neither would |. A man
with policy-a great man-would
have ruined us. If l have helped to
save the country, and to bring the re-
bellion to conclusion, it has been
because l have had no policy. l
have simply tried to do my duty
every day, hoping that when tomor-
row came should be equal to it. -"
