n T7R. LINCOLN'S career exem
NJ IN pltics the truth and aptncss
NUU of the poetical trope that
|I\VI| IMAM is pendulum he
lIlII tween Il smile and n tear,
he at one moment being
given over to the abandon and license
of unreStraincd and eXuberant humor
and Immediately thereafter being
plunged into the Cimmerian darkness
Of the most dense and impenetrablc
melancholy. What he felt and expert
enced during the regnancy of the latter
condition will never be known or even
intelligently conjcctured. His somber
mood was the vOiceless tomb of eX-
preston and condolences, but he shared
the Zest and cXhilaration of his eXcur-
Sions to the shrine of Thalia or the
fame of Joe Miller with all mankind.
SO far as dignity and the fitness of
things are concerned, the outside world
might consider that he mixed jokes and
business too intimately. 1t certainly
does not appear fitting that he should
introduce the first reading of the cman-
cipatiOn proclamation to his cabinet
with Artrmus Wards story of high
handed outrage at Utica" but we can't
know to what extent the strain of for
mulating so mighty an event was neu-
tralizrd by Il brief sojourn in the
realms of nonsense.
Equally doubtful. If true. was the
propricty of his alleged response to
Lord Lyons upon the diplomatic en-
counter to announce the incident of
international import marriage of
the Prince If Wales. To the rmal
speech of the ambassador announcing
the august event the great president is

happened. it is not garncrcd except by
the left hand of history. but it is
strictly I.intolnian and might well
have happened anyway. Great and sol

Hampton Roads conference. as he and
Seward entered at one end of the small
cabin of the steamer River Queen. he
saw the dminutive Stephens ut the
other end in the act OF emerging from

dent, the president promptly replied,
"As to that | don't pretend to be well
versed in history. and therefore | re-
fer you to Seward for details, but all
that recollect of the precedent you
cite is that Charles lost his head in the
end" That was answering fool ac-
cOrding to his folly and is the best in
stance of apt repartee on record.
Now, the essence Of the first Of these
River Queen jokes was pure fun and
last one was strictly utilitarian-was
absolutely demanded by the situation.
1t put Hunter and his proposition out
Of the ring. put him to Sleep to use
modern slang. 1t ended the Confeder-
ates' function completely. But he some
times went further in vanquishing an
opposition than the bounds of good hu-
NOR required. Thus. when deputa-
tion of rich men from New York wait

the nations trbulation. begging for a
gunboat to protect New York harbOr,
he manifested the utmost impatience
and almost paralyZed them with this
reply. Il am straining every nerve to

ravy nt the front. and | have no gun
boat to give you; but If was half as
rich as you half dozen men are and as
scared as you pretend to be ! would
furnish the gunboat myself instead of
bpCginC the government for what 1t
amt got to spare"
He very rarely made either himself
or any one else butt for n joke, and
certainly never in malice. His humor
was usually impersonal. Once. how

More In unison with his methods
was his story to illustrate why he did
not MI certain vacancies. thus: a boy
WIS making a church out of mud.
Having got it substantially completed,
he was asked why he didn't also make
minister for it. "Kase hain't

In u similar vein. when a dash of the
enemy cost the government three brig
