The newly-discovered early portrait
of Lincoln, printed above, which forms
the frontispiece of McClure's Magazine
for November, has aroused more inter.
est than any portrait of Lincoln ever
before published. 1t shows how Lin
coin looked when young, and was taken
at least fifteen to twenty years earlier
than any other known portrait. Of
this portrait, Murat Halstead, the ia
nous editor, ia letter to the publisher
of McClure's Magazine, says:
My Dear SRI am under obliga-
tons to you for the artists proof of the
engraving of Abraham Lincoln as a
young man. 1t is a surprising good
fortune that you have this most inter-
esting and admirable portrait. 1t is
the one thing needed to tell the world
the truth about Lincoln. The old
daguerreotype was, after all, the
best likeness, in the right light, ever
made. THIS is incredibly fine. 1t
shows Lincoln to have been in his
youth very handsome, and the stamp of
manhood of noble promise is in this.
There is manifest, too, intellectual
ity. The head is grand, the mouth
is tender, the expression composed
and pathetic. One sees the possibility
of poetry and romance in it. The
dress is not careless, but neat and ele-
CANT. The elaborate tie of the cravat
is most becoming. The chin is mag
nificent. The length of neck is
shaded away by the collars and volum-
inous necktie. This young man might
do anything important. l cannot I'M
derstand how this wonderful picture
should have been private property 80
long. 1t is at once the first and last
chapter Of the life of Lincoln. TIE
young face of Lincoln, thus far un-
known to the world, will be the most
famous of all his portraits. 1t will be
multiplied by tn million, and be found
in every house Inhabited by civilized
men,"

LONDON dispatches state that AM
bassador Bayard steadfastly declines to
give an interview to anybody on the
subject of the resolution of impeach-
ment introduced in the house of repre-
sentatives. The ST. James Gazette,
commenting on the attack made upon
the ambassador, says; 4" His alleged in
discretion was 80 deliberate that we
doubt whether he had not contemplated
its probable result. We should resent
any British minister making speech
in a foreign country attacking a vital
part of our policy" The Globe says:
4" Mr.. Bayard permitted himself to in
dulge in freedom of speech about his
own countrymen, rulers and politics
that would have been impossible for a
diplomat of the old world, and we think
the republican majority are reasonably
annoyed"

FACT AND FANCY,
Mr.. Cleveland at Sea.

Rocked In the cradle OF the deep,
l lay me down In peace to sleep;
Secure rest upon the wave,
A moment not the peoples slave;
know what duties are undone,
But still I've got to have some fun;
SO, calm and peaceful will sleep,
Rocked in the cradle of the deep,
In government tug
with full. round Jug,
And the waves athumping our keel kerchug;
still calm and peaceful do sleep,
Rocked in the cradle OF the deep.
When In the dead of night lie
And gaze upon the trackless sky,
And catch the CLINT OF far-off sands
With congress still upon my hands,
feel how good 1t Ia to be
Away off here upon the sea.
Twin greatness communing here,
Me and old Ocean, and none other near;
Calmly rest and soundly sleep,
Rocked in the cradle OF the deep,
In a government tug,
With full, round jug,
And the waves a-thumping our keel kerchug;
Stin calm and peaceful do sleep.
Rocked in the cradle Of the deep.

What 1T Is.

1t is History in the exact words of recog-
nized authorities. Years of labor have
sought out the gems OF history, and ar
ranged them by simple, unique, and
wholly original plan for the READY REF
ERENCE of the reader.
1t IS History for Reference; it is in itself
a Library of History, and it represents, as
does no other work in the English language,
the Literature of History.
1t has, therefore, the fascination, the in.
terest, and, so to speak. the flavor, as pos
sessed by the writings of the best historians,
biographers and specialists. And "what
we may call the historic sense is everywhere
evinced in the analysis of subjects, in the
choice and arrangement of topics, and in
the relative fulness of the treatment of
them"
1t is the only work published which con-
tains the actual texts both Of the Constitu-
tions of the prominent Government Of the
world, and the great Historical Documents
of the past.
The extent and the power of literal quo
tation are shown in this work as in no other,
and at the end OF every excerpt are also
given the name Of the author, the work, and
the chapter, section, or page, where 1t may
be found.
There are also specific references to au-
thorities other than those quoted from, and
these make it as valuable to the man of re.
search as the volumes themselves are to the
general reader, who can find from HIS
TORY FOR READY REFERENCE" as if by
magic touch, the brilliant gems Of history.

POLITICAL.

IN the debate on the resolutions cen.
suring Ambassador Bayard for his in
decent and unpatriotic utterances in his
public addresses in England and Scot
land, the venerable Representative Grow
recalled the incident when, during the
civil war, an English gentleman, talking
with Charles Francis Adams, the Amer.
lean minister to London, made a re.
mark as to the confederates fighting
well, to which Mr.. Adams made the
feicitous reply" They are my country
men,
THE next republican national con-
vention will be held at ST. Louis, and
the date will be June 16. Contrary to
expectation, the contest was really be-
tween st. Louis and San Francisco.
The Pacific Coast delegation made a
vigorous fight, and San Francisco led
the voting for three ballots. But the
odds were against it for variety of
reasons. Chicago was not " in it" to
any extent. The convention will take
place just week later than that of 1892
This difference in time will go a very
little way toward meeting the wishes of
those who believe TIE country would be
the gamer from shortening our presi-
dental campaigns.

THURSDAY, December 10, was no
table day tor Kentucky, for it saw the
Inauguration of the first republican
governor that the state has ever had.
Governor Bradley was inaugurated at
Frankfort, in the presence of large
assemblage and with impressive cere.
monies. In his address, which was
marked by modesty aud good taste, he
promised to meet the demand of the
people for retrenchment, reform and
economy, as well as for honesty and
fidelity in the administration of public
affairs. The new governor created a
favorable impression. Kentucky is en-
tering on new era. Whether it shall
be long or short will depend to large
extent on the wisdom, discretion and
sound sense of Governor Bradley.
