~ Humorous "Reminiscences OF tho
Famous President.
In some gossip from the national
capitol Henry L.. Stoddard says:
"Among the applicants for foreign
missions in Washington recently was
a New England man attired SO fault
less!y that he might have served for
q fashion plate. He reminded the vet
eran Tom Donaldson of story told of
an Ohio dandy whom President Lin
coin appointed as consul to q South
American country. A wag met the
new appointee on his way to the white
house TO thank the president. lie was
dressed in the most cXtravagart style.
The wag Mortified him by telling him
that the country to which he was as
signed was noted chiefly for the bugs
that aboundcd there and made life I'M
bearab!e. They'll bore hole clean
through you before a week has
passed. was the comforting assur-
lance Of the wag as they parted at the
white house steps. The new consul
approached Lincoln with disarEnint-
mert clearly written all over his face.
Instead Of ioyousiy thanking the pres
iGcnt, he told him the vn"'G story of
the bugs. Il am informed, Mr.. Presi-
dent he saiG, that the place is full Of
verm.n ard that they'll eat Ire Up in a
weeks time We'll, young man. re-
piled Lincoln, if that's true all I've got
to say is that-thev V il leave n mighty
