OF all the great rulers Of the Amer.
lean republic Lincoln stands out most
prominent as man of the common
people, who from the humblest begin
nings worked his way alone and unaid-
ed, and under the most trying condi-
tons. to a position second to that of
none of the most illustrions citizens of
the nation .9.#r:ss :, , re-, ~
jackson and johnson had humble
origin, but both had the good fortune
early in life to come into touch with
friends. who made easy their road.
Each, too, owed his preferment to the
chances of war, jackson in the open
field, and Johnson in the hall of leg
islation, supplemented with a strong
personal influence in his own state,
which = he subsequently governed
sagaciously in the trying time of the
civil war.
But Lincoln was the child of a: back
woodsman, and his childhood, youth
and young manhood were spent among
primitive and uncouth people, who
had little time and less inclination for
study and Improvement. He went to a
war that was over before he reached the
fighting ground. He was woodchop-
per, fiatboatman, clerk in grocery
which retailed strong drink, a petty
postmaster and surveyor before he
became member of the legislature.
Without q single friend of any influ-
ence, still he grew to the stature of
higher manhood. He studied to render
himself approved. While in the legisla-
ture he read law, and when licensed
to practice gave himself with the same
steady purpose to the profession that
he had shown in the humber pursuits
of preceding days. 81 "a, *.
The coarseness of hiseyouth never
left him completely. He was very tall,
awkward in gait and exceedingly
homely, with large hands and feet, the
management of which was always a
serious concern. He would have been

A HUGE AVALANCHE.
Two Great SnOwslides Unite in De.
stractiOn to Life and Property in
COl0radO-Eight Lives Lost,

Denver, Col, Feb. ia special to the
Republican from Silver Plume, Co...
says: Two mighty snowslides combin-
ing into one swept down Cherokee
gulch at eight O'Clock Sunday morning,
carrying away dozen or more mine
buildings, cabins and machinery, and
causing great loss of life and damage
to mine property. How many dead
bodies lie in this great mass of snow
and debris will not be known before
spring. Eight dead bodies are now at
the morgue, two more persons are
known to be lost and three have been
taken out alive. The rescuing party
has only penetrated about Is feet into
the mass ofssnow and wreckage piled
up at the foot of the gulch to the depth
of IS feet. , 49,.
The slide started in what is known
as Carry City gulch. It swept over the
Pelican mines tunnel house. carving
away the mine dumps and buildings
and filing the entire valley. AS this
slide reached the main gulch the snow
in Swallow Hen gulch. on the opposite
mountain, broke away and rushed down
10 Cherokee gulch. Here the two
avalanches met and continued their
course toward the town. Just back of
Silver Plume in the main gulch was
settlement of Italian miners. Their
cabins were directly in the path of de-
struction and were crushed like egg
shells. Trees were torn up by the roots
and gigantic powders carried away
like pebbles. A turn in the gulch just
as it opens on the town checked the
slide and it now stands threatening de-
struction to at least a portion of this
camp should the remainderof the snow
On the mountain sides start to fall.
Every available man from Silver Plume
and Georgetown is now digging for the
bodies of the missing.

downright ugly but for certain kind
illness of expression which relieved his
countenance of lines which might
otherwise have been repulsive.
There was nothing accidental about
this man. All that he did was done
with a purpose that was successfully
concealed from the closest of his
friends, but which it is not difficult to
discern in the eventful history of his
life.
It is manifest that at the outset he
decided to be true to himself and to
employ his gifts to the best possible
purpose. In the working out of his
plans he evidenced no special brilliance,
he was never ebullient and he never
under any circumstances played to the
galleries. Without being genius, and
with personality clearly against him,
he arose steadily but slowly until he
had first place in the affections of all
the loyal people of the land.
All this was effected so slowly and so
seemingly without effort on his part
that one now seems at loss to under
stand how it was all brought about.
Considering the life of this truly re-
markable man, one is led more than
ever to the conclusion there is a divinity
which shapes our ends. Although
member of the legislature several
terms he did not stamp his name upon
any Of the statutes of the state. Serv-
ing a term in congress, he made but
one inconsequential speech; contest
ing the seat of Douglas. after the mem
orable contest before the people, he
had as his reward but the memory of
words we'll spoken in cause that was
holy and just. Nor is it likely that he
would have secured the nomination for
the presidency in 1860 had the assur-
ance been stronger that it was possible
for the: newly born republican party to
be successful.
1t is doubtful if in all history paral-
lei case can be found to that of this
truly wonderful and good man. One
president, Cleveland, had a sudden and
phenomenal rise: but he had many
years of excellent training in school

Ever firm in his adherence to the

Lincoln wept over the transgression of
his people, saying in the very midst of
the great contention that he had malice
towards none, but charity for all. His
country, the whole country, was to him
first and greatest all the time, and
hence he would listen to no proposition
which looked to an Infringement Of its
territory or diminution of its powers.
This was q principle so great that no
plea or argument adversely might be
considered for an instant. But given a
free country and a country at peace,
