HOMELIER THAN LINCOLN.
George Nebecker's Greeting from the
President at Reception.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Rensselaer,. Ind, March 14-Judge
Bundy, of New Castle, was holding
court last week at Muncie, and at the
dinner table at the Kirby House related
the following "reminiscences Of Abraham
Lincoln:
Judge Bundy was a page in the Indi-
ana house Of representatives in the win
ter and spring Of 1861. President Lin
coin was on his way to Washington to
deliver his inaugural address. and
stopped at the Bates House. Indianapo-
lis, to greet the citizens Of this state.
The page. Bundy, was well acquainted
with all the members of the legislature.
and was stationed @ short distance from
the President to give their names to the
reception committee, so that they could
be properly introduced.
George Nebeker, an uncle to E. H.
Nebeker, ex-United States treasurer,
was state representative, and much
resembled Mr.. Lincoln in appearance,
except that he was probably homelier.
AS sooR as Mr.. Nebeker's towering form
appeared in the doorway the page said
in stage whisper to the reception COM
mittee: This is Mr.. Ncbelser. of Foun-
tain and Warren" Mr.. Lincoln heard
this. and before Mr. Nebeker could
reach him. and without an introduction.
the President reached over the heads Of
the intervening persons and, grasping
Nebelter's hand. said:
How do you do. Mr.. Nebeker? am
especially glad 10 see you. Over in
Snngamon county they say that m,
about the ugliest man in the United
States. While am proud Of this hon
or. believe II you would go there the
people would unanimously crown you
with thia title"
Mr.. Nebeker took the matter in good
humor. The incident had been forgot

able and a valuable work." said the

HIS FAMILY.
The senator has no family except his
wife, a beautiful and accomplished wo-
man, and one prominent in Washington
society. His father and mother are still
living, one at the age of "a and the other
S2. They make their home with their
son, keeping his house at st. Paul dur
ing his necessary absence at Washing
ton In attendance upon his official du-
ties.
Senator Davis has learned the neces-
sity Of dealing with men and affairs as
they are, and not as they ought to be.
To quote his own words, and the words
of the great thinker he himself quotes.
will give an idea Of the man:
"The geometry Of general principles
in craftsmanship always becomes err
roneous in its application beyond cer-
tain point. But there Is a calculus Of
probabilities in administering human
concerns wherein true statesmanship
finds its most certain guide. We should
be taught by the wisdom of Edmund
Burke:
The pretended rights Of these theo-
rists are all extremes. and In propor-
ton as they are metaphysically true
they are morally and politically false.
The rights Of men are in a sort of a
middle. incapable Of definition, but not
iYnpoqsihlo IN ha diacerned Tho RIGHT .
Of men In governments are their ad-
vantages; and these are often in bal
ances between dierences in good, in
compromises sometimes between good
and evil. and sometimes between evil
and evil. Political reason Is O comput-
ing principle; adding. subtracting. null
tlplying, and dividing morally, and not
metaphysically or mathematically, true
moral denominations.'

William Bartels of No 100 Greenwich-st.. an i'm
porter OF vid animals. Is much concerned over the
mysterious disappearance OF Paul Luhn. whom he
sent to Venezuela last April TO procure for him a
stock OF animals. Luhn had between $500 and 5000
In gold with which to pay his current expenses
and with a return ticket on the steamships OF the
Red ID Line from Curacao 10 this city lie arrived
safely In Curacao, and went from there to Mar
aoaibo where he told the proprietor of a hotel In
which he lodged last May that he intended to 20
into the interior OF Venezuela to hunt for the ami
mails OF which he in quest. Since then nothing
has been heard from Luhn, who was forty-e!ght
years old. and unmarried.
MIR Bartes has received only one letter from
Iuhn. and that simply announced his safe arrival
at Curacao Mr.. Bartels wrote To the United states
Consuls at Curacao and Maracabo. but could gain
no tidlngs OF his missing agent. Several drafts
which were drawn In l.uhn's favor not having been
presented for payment have been returned to Mr.
lSartes To whom the Red u Steamship Company
has refunded the amount paid for luhns return
ticket. Mr. Bartels, who loses by Luhns disappear
ance about 200 Is unable to account for his
missing agent. luhn is not believed TO have
absconded because II he had intended to do so he
would have been likely to have had the drafts
cashed 1t is surmised that he was either murdered
and robbed in Maracabo after leaving that
place for the Interior OF Venezuela
