LINCOLN ON CIRCUIT.

He Presented q Quaint Appearance
~ He Followed the Court.
Following the court about on the
circuit was no doubt the joy of Lin
coins life. He was so fond of it that
he declined a fattering offer to enter
a lucrative law partnership in Chicago,
because, as he contended, it would ne-
cessitate more or less confinement in
the Office and therefore keep him off
the circuit. Seated in a one horse bug
gy, behind a sorry looking animal, lie
would set out from Springfield, to be
gone for weeks at a stretch. The law
yers, as he drove into each successive
place, eagerly anticipating a new stock
of stories, gave him cordial welcome
and the landlords hailed his coming

How he appeared on the circuit may
be CLEANED from this sketch of him
drawn by Henry G. Whitney, one Of
his colleagues in central Illinois: His
hat was brown, faded and the nap usu-
ally worn or rubbed of. He wore
short cloak and sometimes a shawl.
His coat and vest hung loosely on his
giant frame His trousers were inva-
r1ably too short. In one hand he car
ried faded green umbrella, with "A.

4 sioux Indian Custom.

Among the Sioux Indians common
custom exists. When one family Dor
rows a kettle from another, it is ex-
pected when the kettle is returned a
small portion of the food that has been
cooked in it will be left in the bottom.
Should this custom be disregarded by
any one, that person would never be
able to borrow again, as the owner
must always know what has been cook
ed in her kettle. A. white woman on
one occasion returned secured kettle.
intending to teach a lesson in cleanli-
ness. but her act became the talk Of
the camp as fresh example Of the
meanness of the whites.
