the evening, and after supper at tho
hotel made their call ON Lincoln. 1t
WAS not to be very formal interview.
Lincoln stood i'll the parler, dressed
in black froeli coat. The announce
ment was made, and his reply seemed
brief. lio was evidently much CON
strained, but as soon as tho last word

you?'
