little holder than the rest, but evident
ly feeling that he spoke for the whole,
cried out, ''This is cowardly on your
part, Lincoln" Whereupon the tall
captains figure stretched few inches
higher again. He looked down upon
these varlets who would have MUIR
dered defenceless old Indian, and
now quailed before his sin. lie hand,
with lofty contempt The oldest Of his
acquaintances, even Bill Green, who
saw him grapple Jack Armstrong and
defy the DULLES at his back, never saw
him so much aroused" before. "If
any man thinks l am a coward, let
him test it," said he. Lincoln" re-
sponded 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, it was
certainly very effectual in this case.
There was no more disaffection 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 criticise 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 mutiny; 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
ganization. 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
court of any sort, it would have
been regarded as an act OF personal
pusillanimity, and his efficiency would
have been gone forever.

Unique Stump Speech.

~ nv INCOLN'S unique methods
w " of campaigning are thus
AA described by an eye-wit-
AN ness. This was on the oc-
" casion of his first nomina-
ton as legislative candi-
~ 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 C KNAPP. The sale over, speech
making was about to begin, when MT.
Lincoln observed strong symptoms OF
inattention in his audience, who had
taken that particular moment to en-
gage in what Mr.. James A. Hernoon
pronounces "a general fight Lincoln
saw that one of his friends was surfer
ing more than he liked in the melee;
and, stepping into the crowd, ne
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 or the
times-he mounted the platform, and
delivered, with awkward modesty, the
following speech:
Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens, l
presume you all know who l am. am
humble Abraham Lincoln. I have
been solicited by many friends to be-
come a candidate for the legislature.
My politics are short and sweet, ike
the old womans dance. / am in favor
of national bank. l am In favor OF
the neutrality-suspicious. system and
high protective tariff. These are my
sentiments and political principles. II
elected, I shall be thankful; II not, 1t
will be all the same
I'm these few sentences Mr.. Lincoln
adopted the leading principle OF the
Wing party-Clay's American Sys-
tenn in full. In his view, as we shall
see by another paper from him when
again a candidate in 1884, the Internal
Improvement system required the dis
tribution of the proceeds of the sales
of the public lands amongst the states.
He says nothing of South Carolina, OF
notification, of disunion; and on these
subjects it 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 empitatically Wing as they couldI
I be made in words"

Loaded with barrel-pork. hogs. and

Illinois rivers down which he was
about to pass. On the 10th. OF April
they arrived at New Salem. little

VA y tation as a wrestler and
MM fighter frequently led him
%W into combats which he
VI would willingly have avoid
Nl ed. One of these encoun-
~ tiers is thus described:
Scarcely had Lincoln
reached Coles County, and begun to
think what next to turn his hand
to, when he received visit from
a famous wrestler, one Daniel Need
ham, who regarded him as grow
ing rival, and had fancy to try
him fall or two. He considered
himself 1.-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 it 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

threshing, 1 will do that. too, for your
sake" Needham had hoped that the
youngster would shrink from the ex-
tremity Of a fight with the acknowl-
edged "buily 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 a black eye
would be the reverse of soothing to
his feelings, and therefore surrendered
the field with such grace as he could
command.

W ways gratefully acknowl-
V ~ edged A pathetic picture
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 I can say what scarcely one
woman-a mother-can say in a thou

appearance, to do anything l requested
