made himself so obnoxious as to en-
danger his life. and he died largely
of fright caused by that circumstance.
This amused Lincoln. lie died to
Save his life" was the requiem over the
memory of this one time friend.
The first story ever heard him tell
was in open court 9t Urbana upon the
occasion of the judge commenting on
a long and verbose bill in chancery,
written by an excellent but extremely
lazy lawyer, when Lincoln said land |
think he improviscd it on the momcnD:
'That's like the lazy preacher who
used, in spite of his laziness, to write
very long and tedious sermons. One
of the dcacons explained it thus: He
got to writing and was too lazy to
stop"
Looking down the vista of time and
through the bright retrospect of by
gone years. it would seem that the
great president had the moral support
of congress in the trying emergencies
he had constantly to encounter. Such,
however. was not the roseate fact. |
have myself heard him roundly abused
by members who prOfeSsed to sustain
his general policy, and it was not IN
common. He thus hit off this pro-
pensity: Your application" said he
to a congressman, puts me in mind
of the difference between the abstract
and the concrete. When the bill to in
crease the "rmy was before congress
YOU opposed it, but when It passed
congress and became law you come
here and want appointments under it.
Your opposition to the bill was in the
abstract. and your wanting favors
under this same law you opposed is
the concrete application"
supcrserviceable member of the
committee on the Inauguration asked
him on the day preceding the 4th of
March it he would prefer to ride alone
TO the capitol or with Buchanan. THAT
reminds me-" said he. ''Of the man
dressed like Quaker who was in court
as witness and, being asked whether
he would swear or affirm, replied 4
don't care q - which,"
He had more cares and perplexities
during his official term, more than ever
will be known, but he glided over what
to others might have been serious diff
ficulties, aided by the lub:icating sol
vent Of his humor. Thus when some
men came TO him with report that the
secretary of war had refused to honor
his order and had said besides that the
president was - fool he said,
well, then, reckon l must be one,
for Stanton is generally right" thus
throwing the laugh back on Stanton.

ular politician who used frequently to
go to the legislature from his county.
Judge Treat of the United States court
told me that Lincoln once borrowed a
copy of "Jo Milicr's .Iokchook" and
kept it for Il month. and after that he
used TO relate jokes taken from that,
book, but with addenda and altcra-
tionS. evidently made by Lincoln him
self, to adapt them to the local stua-
tiOn.
TO Illustrate Douglas claim of con-
sistency in his advocacy of popular
sovereignty he said: '''rhat's like john
ny Giles wife, who used to attend a
little store. She told Il customer they
lost money on everything they sold.
"llow do you keep up?' queried the.
customer. "'Cause we sell so much"
was the reply.
DR.. SCroggs of Champaign had Il suit;
in court. and the peculiarity of the
name at once reminded Lincoln. as.
usual. of something. "That's like the
advertisement, Smith 4 IIuggs, clas-
sical school for boys and girls Smith
teaches the bows and IIuggS the girls.
There came to tie president during
the war three cOuceited individuals
with some sort of new device for
human slaughter which they desired
the government to adopt. He sent
them to the war department. from.

day school boy who had for his lesson
the incident of the three Hebrew chill
dron in the fiery furnace-Meshach,
Shadrach and Ahcdnego-but when he
came to rccite his lesson he couldn't
for the life of him remember their
names, so he was told to study hard
and recite on the next Sunday. Well.
he tried it the next Sabbath and got
along well till he came to the STUN
bling biock-the namcS-whcn he eX-
claimed with vcXation. 'TarnatiOn,
there come them three old bores
again."
That ended their mission. They had
no reply 10 this, and deemiug if useless
to prolong TIM struggle with man of
such infinite resources to meet emcr-
gcncics, theT folded their tents, like

lie illustrated Douglas scheme of
"squattcr sovereignty" thus: "Pomp
and Jim found bears cave in which
the owner had secreted a quantity OF
honey for his winters supply, and
which they designed to rob, and while
Vim entered the cave to steal the honey
Pomp remained outside to watch for
the return Of the bear. Suddenly Jim
exclaimed, What makes de hole dark
Pomp, who was struggling with the
returned bear, cried. EFF de tail hold
slips yOull find out what makes de
hole dark So with Douglas. If his
tail hold of 'squatter sovereignty fails
him, the jig is up"
He clcverly got rid of one of those
ardent but visionary patriots abound
ing during the war, who imagined they
could either conduct matters different
ly or at least could make apt sugges-
tions to the administration on the sub
ject. This visionary schemer was
introduced by note from his neighhor.
Secretary Smith. and. gaining an au-
dience, commenced TO develop his Plan,
when the president interrupted with,

something of politician: Dear Dad

When ! came on to the circuit in
1851, l brought book, just then new
ly published. entitled THE Flush
Times of Alabama and Mississippi"
written by Joseph G. Baldwin of the
supreme court of California. 1t was
compilation of humorous sketches Of
the southern bar and alleged practice
at the bar of the states indicated. Lin
coin was fascinated with it, and used
to read selections from it aloud in our
room. This he did for several terms
in succession. His favorite story was
"The Earthquake Story" ana the book,
which still have, bears the marks Of
the hard usage it had at that place,
for he would at each term of court call
for the book, and the entertainment of
hearing him read it always justified
the excuse POSSIBLY true) that there
was some newcomer present who had
lever heard ii. 1t really was very
humorous sketch, and Lincoln enjoyed
it each time of its repetition much
more than anybody else.

That's like Bill Dugan and his coon
dog" and he commenced drOll story,
which the aStoniShcd auditor heard
through and took it as an emphatic
hint to retire. which he immediately
did. Returning to his ncighbOr the sec
retary, he Indignantly asked, "What
use was such n story mt that time"
The secretary laughed lord and long
and then explained. You -. he want
ed to get rid of you and get down to his
work, and according to your own story
he has done it cfTectually."
At the Danvillc court Il lawyer was
addressing a jury and. getting excited,
waved his arms SO vigOrOuSlv as to
cause his coattails to fly up. revealing
an unscemly rent in his pantaloOnS.
The boys deemed it sufficient baSi"
for a joke, so Il subscription paper was
got up to buy Il patch for IS pants.
1t was circulated within the bar, and
we each subscribed cent till it reach
ed Lincoln, who wrote, Cant sub
scribe anything to the end in view"
In order to enforce Il plain truth on
the clergymcn who came to hin in
September, 1862, to urge him to issue
an emancipation proclamation, he quiet
ly asked. How many legs will sheep
have if you call his tail lcg?' The
answer was naturally five. You ere
mistaken" said Lincoln, for calling
the tail'a leg doesn't make it So" And
thus he rcfutcd their position that to
merely proclaim emancipation did as
they claimed. of necessity emancipate."
Again, in the same strain. he asked.
"If there are three birds sitting on Il
fence and you fire and Kill one of
them, how many will there be left?'
The obvious answer would be two.
mo, there wouldn't" said this modern
Pilpay, "fOr the other two would fly
away" And the most ordinary eX-
perience attests that there could be no
logical reply to this assertion.

LincoIn's only Diamond Pin.

Colonel w. n. Cave of Barnwell, S.
c., is in possession of n unique relic
in the shape of . diamond pin which
ham Lincoln, and which is the only
piece of jcwelry of the kind that he
ever wore. The pin is of the old fash
Ioned style of cluster brooches, with a
clasp at the back for the purpose Of
securing it to the frilled shirt fronts
worn by gentlemen 80 years ago. The
center diamond is a large, particularly
white one, and it is surrounded by o
number of smaller brilliants.
