Had Little Time to Waste on Appear
ances or Style.
When | first knew Lincoln he had
all the habiliments Of rusticity; his
hat was innocent Of i nap; his coarse
boots had no acquaintance with black
ing; his clothes had not been introduc-
ed TO the whisk-broom; his baggage
was we'll worn and d~ilapidated; his
umbrella was substantial, but OF a
faded green, and for an outer garment
he wore a short circular blue cloak,
says Henry c. Whitney in Leslie's
Weekly. He commenced to dress
better in the spring of 1859, and when
he was absent from home, on political
tours, usually did so; after he became
President, he had a servant who kept
him considerably "slicked up" but he
frequently had to a him into
fashionable attire by telling him that
his appearance was Official" He
probably had as little taste or style
about dress or attire as any man who
was ever born. He simply wore
clothes because 1t was needful and

looked well was entirely above or be-
meath his knowledge. He had no re-
gard for trivial things. or for mere
forms, manners, poiiteness, etiquette,
official formalities, fine clothes, rou-
tine or red-tape; he disdained a bin
OF fare at table, a program at a thea.
ter, or a license to get married. The
pleadings In a lawsuit, the formal
compliments on a social introduction,
the exordium or peroration OF a
speech he either wholly ignored or
cut as short as he could.
In all his political campaigns, the
music, flags and bunting were nothing
to him; he was thinking rather of the
statistics-how many votes were prob.
able, and what the tendencies OF
political thought we're to change
opinions and votes. And he also had
a thorough contempt for the Office of
bailiff or crier Of a court, d~oorkeeper

KNEW WHERE LINCOLN STOOD
Simple Way in Which He Manifested
His Earnestness.

Simple Way In Which He Manifested
His Earnestness.
While | was an inmate of Gleason
Sanitarium, Elmira, n. Y, / heard the
following anecdote of Abraham Lin
coin. We had at the sanitarium a very
old gentleman by the name OF z. q
Robbins. He was of New Hampshire
by birth, but had lived in Washington
for fifty years, his business being q
patent lawyer. lie was intimately ac-
ouainted with Mr.. Lincoln and was
selected by him as chairman of the
first police commissioners after his in
a%uguration in 1861. To this Mr.. Rob
bins | owe the recital of the story to
which | have alluded. He said:
After the emancipation proclamation
had been written, it will be remem
bered, six months were given to the
C~onfederates to lay down their arms
and come back to the Union, before 1t
was to go in force. Providing the
South returned to the allegiance to the
Union as of yore, the proclamation
was not to be issued. But God was
working ont the destiny of this ma,
ton, and not man, and the result Is
known to history.
The early elections had gone against
the Republican party. Republicans be-
came alarmed. A tremendous press
ure was brought to bear upon Lincoln
to withdraw the threatened issue Of
the proclamation, upon the day fixed.
They declared that it was against the
spirit and wish of the people. and
would ruin the party. Letters came
pouring IN from every state In the
Union begging, imploring, sometimes
threatening, and 1t was feared by a
few stanch anti-slayery men OF the
country that Mr.. Lincoln could not
withstand the pressure. But he said
nothing, kept his own counsel, and no
man knew his mind.
One day about a week before the
time in which the proclamation was
to go into force, Mr.. Robbins. as was
his privilege, walked into the office of
Mr.. Nicolay, private secretary to Mr..
Lincoln. He was feeling very anx-
ious, for II was a dark and gloomy
time for the country. Mr.. Lincoln's
room adjoined that OF Mr.. Nicolay. and
while Mr.. Robbins was sitting at an
open fire. talking to Mr.. Nicolay. Mr..
Lincoln walked in. put his hand upon
the shoulder of Mr.. Robbins and said:
"werl. old friend. the important day
draws near"
YES" replied Mr.. Robbins. and |
hope there will be no backing down or
backing out on your part"

hand on the lads shoulder, he said:
Now. my boy, go home and have Scod

little fellow bowed himself out, feeling
that the President, though a great
man, was at the same time a kindly
one.
