little bolder than the rest, but evident
ly feeling that he spoke for the whole,
cried out, "This is cowardly on your
part, Llncoln" Whereupon the tall
captains figure stretched a few inches
higher again. He looked down upon
these varlets who would have mur-
dered a defenceless old Indian, and
now quailed before his single hand,
with lofty contempt, The Oldest Of his
acqualntances, even Bill Green, who
saw him grapple Jack Armstrong and
defy the bullies at his back, never saw
him so much aroused" before. "If
any man thinks am coward, let
him test It," said he. Lincoln" re-
sponded a new voice, you are larger
and heavier than we are" This you
can guard against; choose your wea-
pons," returned the rigid captain.
Whatever may be said Of Mr.. Lin
coins choice of means for the preser-
walton Of military discipline, 1t was
certainly very effectual in this case.
There was no more dlsaftection In his
camp, and the word coward" was
never coupled with his name again.
Mr.. Lincoln understood his men bet
ter than those who would be disposed
TO criticlse his conduct. He has often
declared himself, that his life and
character were both at stake, and
would probably have been lost, had he
not at that supremely critical moment
forgotten the officer and asserted the
man. To have ordered the offenders
under arrest would have created a
formidable mutlny; to have tried and
punished them would have been i'm
possible. They could scarcely be call
ed soldiers; they were merely armed
citizens, with a nominal military Or
ganlzatlon. They were but recently
enlisted, and their term Of service
was just about to expire. Had he
preferred charges against them, and
offered to submit their differences to
a court of any sort, 1t would have
been regarded as an act OF personal
pusillanlmlty, and his efficiency would
have been gone forever.

W " of campaigning are thus
AA described by an eye-wit'
6WW ness. This was on the oc'
WI caslon Of his first nomina'
N tlon as legislative candl'
~ date:
"Mr. Lincoln's first ap'
pearance on the stump, in the
course Of the canvass, was at
Pappsville, about eleven miles west
Of Springfield, upon the occasion
Of a public sale by the firm OF
Poog & KNAPP. The sale over, speech
making was about to begin, when Mr..
Lincoln observed strong symptoms OF
inattention In his audience, who had
taken that particular moment to en-
gage In what Mr.. James A. Herndon
pronounces q general fight Lincoln
saw that one Of his friends was suffer-
Ing more than he liked In the melee;
and, stepping into the crowd, he
shouldered them sternly away from
his man, until he met fellow who re-
fused to fall back; him he seized by
the nape Of his neck and the stat OF
his breeches, and tossed him ten or
twelve feet easily After this episode
as characteristic Of him as Of the
tlmes-he mounted the platform, and
delivered, with awkward modesty, the
following speech:
"'Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens, l
presume you all know who am. I am.
humble Abraham Lincoln. l have
been solicited by many friends to be-
come candidate for the legislature.
Ny politics are short and sweet, like
the old woman's dance. / am In favor
Of national bank, / am In favor OF
the internal-improvement system and
a high protective tariff, These are my
sentiments and political principles. II
elected, I shall be thankful; II not, 1t
will be all the same.
"Tn these few sentences Mr.. Lincoln
adopted the leading principle of the
Whig party-Clay's American Sys-
tenn in full. In his view, as we shall
see by another paper from him when
again candidate in 1884, the Internal
improvement system required the dis
tributlon of the proceeds Of the sales
of the public lands amongst the states.
He says nothing Of South Carolina, of
notification, Of dlsunlon; and on these
subjects 1t is quite probable his views
we're like Mr.. Webster's, and his SYM
pathies with Jackson. The opinions
announced In this speech, on all the
subjects touched by the speaker, were
as emphatically Whig as they could
be made in words"

the employ Of a merchant

Loaded with barrel-pork, hogs. and
corn, the boat set out from Sangamon-

was on board to act as his own super
cargo, intending to pick up additions
to his stock along the banks OF the TWO
Illinois rivers down which he was
about to pass. On the 10Th OF April
they arrived at New Salem, little
village destined to be the scene OF the
seven eventful years Of Mr.. Lincoln's
life, which Immediately followed tho
conclusion Of the present trip. Just
below New Salem the boat stuck" for
one night and the better part OF day
on Rutledge's mlll-dam, ,--one end OF 1t
hanging over the dam, and the other
sunk deep In the water behind. Here
was a case for Abe's ingenuity, and he
exercised 1t with effect Quantities OF
water were being taken In at the stern,
the lading was sliding backwards and
everything indicated that the rude
craft was in momentary danger OF
breaking In two, or sinking outright.
But Abe suggested some unheard-of
expedient for keeping 1t In place while
the cargo was shifted to q borrowed
boat, and then, boring hole In that

ing rival and had fancy to try
him a fall or two, He considered
himself the best man" in the country,
and the report Of Abe's achievements
filled his big breast with envious pains,
His greeting was friendly and hearty,
but his challenge was rough and per-
emptory. Abe valued his popularity
among the boys too highly to de-
cline 1t and met him by public appoint
ment In the greenwood at Wabash
Point where he threw him twice with
so much ease that Needhams pride
was more hurt than his body Lin

youngster would shrink from the ex-

edged "bully Of the patch" but finding
him willing, and at the same time
magnanimously inclined to whip him
solely for his own good, he concluded
that a bloody nose and n black eye
would be the reverse Of soothing to

- found his way into the
camp, weary, hungry and helpless.
He professed to be friend of the
whites; and, although 1t was an
exceedingly perilous experiment for
one of his color, he ventured to throw
himself upon the mercy of the soldiers
But the men first murmured, and then
broke out into fierce cries for his
blood. 1--WE have come out to fight the
Indians" said they, "and by God we
intend to do IL" The poor Indian,
now, in the extremity Of his distress
and peril, did what he ought to have
done before; he threw down before
his assailants soiled and crumpled
paper, which he implored them to READ
before his life was taken. 1t was
letter Of character and safe-conduct
from Gen. Cass, pronouncing him
faithful man, who had done good SER
vice in the cause for which this army
was enlisted But it was too late; the
men refused to read 1t, or thought IL
forgery, and were rushing with fury
upon the defenceless old savage, when
Capt. Lincoln bounded between them
and their appointed victim. Men,
said he, and his voice for moment
stilled the agitation around him, this
must not be done; he must not be
shot and killed by u.s." But" SAID
some Of them, "the Indian is damned
spy." Lincoln knew that his own
life was now in only less danger than
that Of the poor creature that crouch
ed behind him. During the whole OF
this scene Captain Lincoln seemed to
rise to an unusual height" OF stature
The towering form, the passion and
resolution in his face, the physical
power and terrible will exhibited In
every motion of his body every ges-
ture of his arm, produced an erect
upon the furious mob as unexpected
perhaps to him as to any one else.
They paused, listened, fell back, and
then sullenly obeyed what seemed to
be the voice Of reason, as well as au-
thority. But there were still some
murmurs Of disappointed rage, and
half-suppressed exclamatlons, which
looked toward vengeance OF some
kind. At length one of the men, a

Abes thoughts to the class Of difficult

Of this gentle lady in her
last days is given as follows;
Mrs. Lincoln was never able to
speak Of Abe's conduct to her without
tears. In her interview with Mr.. Hern-
don, when the sands Of her life had
nearly run out, she spoke with deep
emotion Of her own son, but said she
thought that Abe was kinder, better,
truer, than the other. Even the moth
er's instinct was lost as she looked
back over those long years Of poverty
and privation in the Indiana cabin,
when Abe's grateful love softened the
rigors Of her lot, and his great heart
and giant frame were always at her
command. Abe was poor boy, said
she, and can say what scarcely one
woman-a mother-can say In thou
