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

While l was an inmate of Gleason
Sanitarium, Elmira, n. Y, l heard the
following anecdote of Abraham Lin
coin. We had at the sanitarium a very
old gentleman by the name of Y. c.
Robbins. He was of New Hampshire
by birth, but had lived in Washington
for fifty years, his business being a
patent lawyer. He was intimately ac-
quainted with Mr.. Lincoln and was
selected by him as chairman of the
first police commissioners after his in
auguration in 1861. To this Mr.. Rob-
bins l 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
Confederates to lay down their arms
and come back to the Union, before it
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 out 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 it was feared by q
few stanch anti-slavery 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 it 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:
"Wen, 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"

ment until September would suffice
made the order that the lad should re-
port in that month. Then, putting his
hand on the lads shoulder, he said:
Now, my boy, go home and have good
fun during the two months. for they
are the last holiday you will get The
little fellow bowed himself out. feeling
that the President, though great
man. was at the same time kindly
one.
ut was these simple characteristics
of this large and manysided man that
endeared him to all with whom he
came in contact, and while we admire
the intellect and ability of the states
man we love the man."

Lincoln's Love of Truth.

Slower of growth, and devoid alto
gether of many brilliant qualities
which Douglas possessed, says William
G. Brown in the February Atlantic,
Lincoln nevertheless outreached him
by the measure of the two gifts he
lacked-the twin gifts of humor and
OIL brooding melancholy. Bottomed by
the one in LONELINESS, his character
was by the other drawn upward to
the height of human nobility and as
plration. His great capacity of pain,
which but for his buffoonery would no
doubt have made him mad, was the
source of his rarest excellencies. Fa-
miliar with squalor, and hospitable to
vulgarity, his mind was yet tenanted
by sorrow, place of midnight wrest-
lings. In him as never before in any
other man, were high and low things
mated, and awkwardness and ungain-
liness and uncouthness justified in
their uses. At once coarser than his
rival and infinitely more refined and
gentle, he had mastered lessons which
the other had never found the need Of
learning, or else had learned too read.

LINCOLN A PLAIN MAN.
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 nap; his coarse
boots had no acquaintance with black
ing; his clothes had not been introduc-
ed to the whisk-broom: his baggage
was veil worn and dilapidated; 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 1858, 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 reason 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 it was needful and
customary; whether they fitted or
looked well was entirely above or be-
meath his knowledge. He had no re-
gard for trivial things, or for mere
forms, manners, politeness, etiquette,
official formalities, fine clothes, rou-
tine or red-tape; he disdained a bill
of fare at table, program at 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 were to change
opinions and votes. And he also had
thorough contempt for the Office of
bailiff or crier of court, doorkeeper
of legislative or Congressional body,
| foorwalker in a store, drum-major in
a band, or even of mayor of a city or
| town. He disliked to be called Mr..
President or even Mr.. Lincoln" by
his intimates; he called men by their
family names,

NEXT MORNING PHILOSOPHER

1t is an easy matter for a man to
deceive himself.
Some books, like some men, afford
one but little companionship.
The hypocrite never thinks, for in
stance, that any one suspects him.
No one is a coward who fears to do
wrong. In such case apparent COW.
ardice is real courage.
You should stop occasionally and
find out whether you are on the right
road or on the wrong one.
It is easier to cheat an honest man
than a dishonest one. The latter

We'll, l don't know" Ecys Lincoln:
Peter denied his Master. He thought
he wouldn't. but he did"
Mr.. Robbins says that he felt a
thrill pass over him. He knew by this
simple hut subtle hint that the soul of
Lincoln was determined, and the
Union and liberty were secured.
The great day came and with it free
dom to both black and white. Hypoc-
risy had fallen; sincerity and manhood
had come to abide. A few days later
Mr.. Robbins met Mr.. Lincoln and the
latter grasped his hand and said:

The election Of United States SEN
ator in Colorado is again demon
strating the desirability of election s
by the people. The state senate has
u Democratic majority and a republic
can lieutenant governor. The latter
refuses to recognize the democrats
and has, with the aid of the republic
can minority, unseated enough demo-
Gratis to give the republicans control,
while the democrats, with the aid of q
democratic president OF the senate,
have unseated enough republicans TO
give the democrats d majOrity in
joint caucus. The result is anarchy.
and the probability is that Colorado
will not be able to elect a senator at
this session. The whole situation is
horse play and reminds one of the
Delaware muddle. The populistic
doctrine of government ownership Of
natural monopolios and election OF
senator's by direct vote of the people
is gaining recruits every day, and the
time ia not far distant when the old
parties will be forced to adopt these
measure in self-dcfense.

There seems to be great feeling of
uneasiness regarding money matters

is due partly tn those hoary-headeG
calamity howlers, j. j. Hill, of the

Yerkes, the owner OF so many city

ing of alarm seems 10 have spread
over the country without any we'll
defined good reason. The railroads
have advanced their freight rates and
the coal companies have put up the
price of coal aud both are enjoying
unusual prosperity and can see no
reason why the people who pay the
freight should feel worried 1t the out
look. The feeling is with us just the
same. and those who have money are
afraid to lend it ard tho,e who are
shy are worrying as to where their

ence teaches us that this will all be

all yards. The republicans in years
