LITERARY NOTES.

McClure's Magazine for March will
contain interesting passages from a
speech made by Abraham Lincoln, in
the Illinois Legislature in January,
837-undoubtedly the earliest speech
of Lincoln's of which any record re-
mains. and one hitherto unnoticed by
any of his biographers. 1t is in his
most attractive vein-that mingling of
genial candor with perfectly clinch-
ing argument for which he aftarward
became so noted. Along with these
passages will be presented some entire
" new anesdotes and "reminiscences OF
Lincoln's service in the Legislature
and of his humble beginning as law
Yer at Springfield. And there will be
a full quota of Lincoln pictures;
among them four portraits of Lincoln,
two of which have never before been
published, and a view of his first law
office.
A writer of the New York Press
draws this picture of the versatile
editor of the Century, who is almost
as well known because of his intimacy
with the Clevelands as because of his
ability: Orchard Watson Glider al
WAYS gives me n comfortable feeling
when we meet. There is a good deal to
admire in the editor of The Century.
Physically weak, thin, wrinkled, gray
ish, STOPPING and almost halt, he Is
mentally so vigorous that he keeps on
the run all the time. He is writing
less poetry than formerly, and better
/ hear that he is not in full accord
with the President in all his ducking
business. Mr.. Glider began life-rather
he began his literary career-as a
police reporter on a Newark newspa-
per. He is not the only able literatc
who has had so humble beginning
/ could name a dozen famous writers
who were police reporters. Dickens
was one. Mr. Glider has been in the
magazine business about twenty-seven
wears. He gets all the exercise he needs
by being his own Office boy. When he
wants anything he goes after it him
self in that trundling gait that dis
tinguishes him on all occasions. He
walks 4 little like Augie Belmont, with
out 50 much bend Of the knee. He sell
dom SITS. He would rather write stand
inr at his tall window sill (think Of
man doing his best work on a window
sill) than sitting at his mahogany desk
