 Horace Greeley once said: I doubt whether man, woman or child, white or black, bound or free, virtuous or vi cious, ever accosted or reached forth hand to Abraham Lincoln ard detect ed in his countenance or manner any repugnance or shrinking from the prof fered contact, any assumption of supe- riority, or betrayal of disdain.'
 Frederick Douglas, the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: Mir. Lincoln is the only white man with whom 1 have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever been, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized nay color
 George Bancroft, the historian, al- luding to this characteristic, which was never so conspicuously manifested as during the darker days of the war, beautifully illustrates it in these mem orable words: As child, in a dark night, on a rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance and support, Lincoln clung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom"

Hundreds of snowballs, some of them Of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take large force of boys several days to do.
