CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.


Mr. Lincoln Rens.bsred
~ see that Col. Thomas Nelson, Of
Terre Haute, is dead" recently re-
marked n. NJ. Murphy TO Clobe-Dem-
ocrat reporter. NELSON belonged to
that class of individuals to whom the
growing generation invariably refer as
gentlemen of the old school,
Col. Nelson possessed rich fund
of humor and he enjoyed telling a story
just as well il the joke were on him as
when the other fellow caught il.
AT an old settlers meeting in Terre
Haute in 1855 Col. Nelson related a
story about his first meeting with
Abraham Lincoln. II was in the an
tebellum days of stage coaches. One
morning the stage arrived ut Terre
Haute from Paris, ILL.,, and stopped at
the Clark house, the principal hotel in
the city in those days, and among the
passengers was q long, lanky iIdivid-
ual, who, after partaking of breakfast,
resumed his Journey TO Indianapolis.
Col Nelson was one Of the passengers
and on the way endeavored TO scrapc an
acquaintance with the lanky-looiSing
passenger. The latter told several fun
ny stories in the course of their rather
tedious journey. Nevertheless the
colonel took his fellow-passe niger for
some green country merchant on his
way to Indianapolis to replenish his
stock of groceries. hardware, etc. The
colonel also talked very learnedly and
soon the stranger was gazing upon him
in a manner that evidently bctohened
admiration of the great wisdom of his
travelling companion.
Arriving at their destination the
colonel put up at the principal hotel.
and after making an elaborate toilet
made his way TO the hotel Office. There
he observed his fellow-passenPer the
central figure of a group of ger I L men,
most OF whom were well known to the
colonel. Stepping up to the clerk he
inquired Us to the identity Of the tall
individual, and his eye was guided by
the finger of the clerk To the op, Il .g -
ter, where he read: a. Lincoln written
in n bold hand. A coating of moisture
oozed through the pores Of the colonel's
countenapce; he was thundcfstruck,
dumfoundcd, and hastily caliirc for his
'carpetsack' sought quarters elsewhere.
I'm 1sGl the friends of Col. Nelson
succeeded in securing an appointment
for him, and Gov. Morton, who was in
Washington. telegraphed the colonel
to come on, and " hen he arrived at the
capital ne was told that he would prob
ably be appointed minister to Chilli.
When he made his call upon the presi-
dent it YVES with the hope that Mr.. Lin
coin would not recognize in him thu
stagc-coagb passenger who had aired
his erudition during the journey. of
few years before.
MIR. Lincoln greeted him cordially.
and aficr not iyng him Of his appoint
ment and expressing the hoIe that he
would .scc!.t, loo,,cd at the colonel
with a merry twinkle in his eye and
snid: Col. nelson, 90 you know have
often thought Of your talk on CEN
trifugaI force during the stngc-coach
ride? Now, colonel, am going to toss
you away or to Chilli" - st. Louis
