Lincoln's Disputed Fec.

Among the autograph documents, belong
ing TO Lincoln, recently sold in Philadelphia,
a high-priced group was of three pieces
which sold for S2l0. These documents were
closely interviewer, and form an interesting
anecdote in the life of Lincoln. The first
was an autograph letter written by Lincoln
Oct. 8. 1853, to NJ. Brayman, President OF
the Illinois Central Railroad, offering his
services as attorney for the company in a
suit brought against it by the County OF
Mclean.
The second was Lincoln's autograph copy
of his bill for legal services rendered the
Illinois Central Railroad Company in its suit
which was won in December, 1856. The
bill was for So coo, TO which Lincoln has ap-
pended the names of six members of the
Illinois bar, who certify to the amount not
being unreasonable-Grant. Goodrich, n. b.
Judd, Archibald Williams, \. II. Purple, 0.
II. Browning, and r. S. Blackwell.
The third was the check for $3.50. given
him rs a retainer. If successful, Mr.. Lincoln
was to be paid fee Of $1,000. After carry
ing the suit through the Supreme Court and
gaining it, he presented bill for the unpaid
balance of his fee. 1t happened that Presi-
dent Brayman was absent, and Mr.. Lincoln
was referred with his bill to the Superin-
tendcnt of the company, who refused 10 pay
it, remarking at the same time: That is as
much rs a first-class lawyer would charge"
The gentleman who spoke thus disparag-
ingly of the services of a future President of
the United States was Gen. George b. Me-
Clellan, who at that time was Superintend-
ent of The Illinois Central Railroad.
The original fee book of the law firm of
Lincoln & Herndon for the year 1S47 sold
for 500 while the marriage certificate of Lin
coin was knocked down at $40.

The triremes were provided with beak
for ramming which at first projected 10 feet
from the vessels bow, but was subsequently
made shorter and divided into three teeth.
Upon the quarterback stood the image OF

for hosting signals during action.
1t was customary to depend wholly upon the
oars for motive power during an engagement
and leave the masts on shore when clearing for
action. All tho AttiG triremes were built
upon the same model, and their gear made in
terchsngeahle; great advantage in time OF
war. Their length has heeu estimated at 149
feet at the water line. The Greeks did not
confne themselves to the THRONES, but in

with 40 banks. This, however, was a vessel Of

Fore and aft small towers were erected in
which were stationed companies of archers. and
the PROV was armed with wooden spur, COW
cred with iron, which did duty as ram.
The invention of gunpouder did away with
the towers and spur and substituted artillery
for tho more primitive engines of war. With
all this panoply aud pomp above ship, the lot
of the rowers in the mediRval galleys was pitt
able. Drawn from the ranks of criminals and
nfidel prisoners. they were treated as beasts,
and the loss OF life among thcm was frightful.
Condemnation TO the galleys was worse sen-
tence than death. The unfortunate, clothed
only in a cloth sack, was forced to sleep on
deck, chained to his fellow, and for food was
given lentils and black bread, with perhaps a
little fat or OIL He was eaten by vermin and
wasted with disease and gagged during action,
So that his death struggles might not distract
his suffering mates.
With the introduction of artillery into naval
warfare the tactics changed, and during the
early part of the 10th century the low galley
began to be replaced by the sailing war vessel,
and the size Of the guns which were mounted
in broadside on these ships constantly increased.
With this increase CAME corresponding in

the 18th and 18th centuries the wsrships be-
came form idabie affairs, with three decks and

introduction Of steam and armor are well

shores, however, they resolved to supply the
deficiency, and taking the wreck as a model,
built 100 galeys in six weeks, training their
oarsmeu in the meanwhile by means of huge
rOwing-framcs set up on shore.
The Carthsginians. being expert navigat-
ors, captured the first II of these vessels sent
against them, whereupon Duillins Nepos as
sumed charge OF the Roman feet aud intro
duccd new tactics into naval warfare. In
place of avoiding tho enemy's vessels, or try
ing to ram his advcrssries, no grappled with
them, and made fast with a swinging bridge
known as the Gowns and armed with iron
spikes Over this the Roman soldiers poured
ON to their enemy's gailey5 and fought as on
land.
As result, Duiliins captured 80 of the enc

honored with naval tribute, the first that
ever appeared in that city. The Senate fur
ther rewarded his valor by permitting him to
have music played and torches lighted at the
public expense whenever he was at supper.
With the Roman method of naval warfare
the ram fell into disrepute and the galieys COM
menced to carry fighting towers aud engines oi
war. After the second and third centuries Ot
the Christian era hiatus exists in naval his
tory, f.nd very little is known of war vessels
until the 10Th century. About that time the
modern galley, long narrow craft with q
length of seven or even nine times its breadth,
came into use on tho Mediterranean. These, al
though distinguished by the Italians from each
other by the classical terms of bireme, triremc
aud quinquereme, differed essentially from the
ancient vessels. The Oar5men sat upon the
same plane, and from paintings of the period
would appear TO have each pulled separate
oar although three or four pulled through the
same porthole; the name of the galley being
taken from the number of oars thus grouped
together.
1t has been questioned whether this method
existed except in the minds of medieval artists,
but if it did it was subsequently, abandoned, and
in the 10Th century the galleys were propelled
by great oars. sometimes 80 feet in length, each
pulled by three or four men.
The medieval galley going into action must
have been gorgeous sight; falcons and broad
banners of gaudy hue were flung TO the breeze,

1t was lamentable that one of the first
evidences of party development was seen in
the wicked and mendacious attacks upon
the personal character OF Washington, who
was Federalist, although he did not ap-
pear to have known it. AT first these at
tacks were oblique. Vice-President John
Adams who was candidate for reelection
when the time for another election drew
near, was roundly abused for his coldness,
his hauteur, his aristOcratic equipage and
monarchical tendencies, and his stately af-
fectations. Many Antiiederalists privately
said that all this was true of Washington.

men to Hamilton, Washington's favorite

A pleasing story of Jefferson's inaugural
tion that has long been current represents
him as riding to the Capitol aud tying his
horse to the fence, and then entering almost
unattended to take the oath of Office. This
fable has been dispersed. Current accounts
relate his ceremonial installation into office
surrounded by martial music, banners and
