When it is remembered that Abra-
ham Lincoln, was not what might be
called handsome or even good look
ing man, in the popular acceptance OF
the term, and that he lived in period
when photography was in it's infancy,
it is surprising how many times he
must have posed for the camera artist
during the seventeen years of his &C
/ tive public life: He must have yield
ed with great good nature. to the ap-
plications for sitting from photog-
raphers. Every now and then a new

While the photographer was busy
recording on the sensitive plate the
image of his distinguished subject, the
engraver was not idle, and as result
there are over 200 different engraved
portraits of Lincoln known to col
lectors. Many of these pictures are,
however, hardly worthy Of considera-
ton, as they are really but poor
copies, with some slight change In
costume or pose, from celebrated orig
inals. y AZ = ,=-ss~

Lincoln was 40 years of age when

say he had aged ten years at least.

Too Much Like a Real Trip"

+ Forty years have passed since Jo-
seph Jefferson made prolonged and
brilliantly successful tour in Austria
liza. It was, indeed, in Melbourne,
Sydney and the gold fields that he
made his first great hit as Rip Van
Wirkle, which has ever since been
the leading character in his repertory.
He has never recrossed the equator,
although handsome offers for another
Australian tour have repeatedly been
submitted to him. In reply to another
of these invitations, Mr.. Jefferson,
who is now in his seventy-ffth year,
wrote recently: II was four years in

revealed in his confidential letters
and talks. We know furthermore
that he often took counsel OF his cab
met officers before deciding matters
of moment. Certain tits that in ar
bitrary arrests Seward and Stanton
were disposed to go farther than Lin
coin. The spirit of arbitrary power
was in the air, and unwise and unjust
acts were done by subordinates which
although Lincoln could not have done
himself, he deemed it better to ratify
than to undo. This was notably the
case in the arrest of Valandigham-
Again. Congress did not always do
what Lincoln wished, and certain men
of his own party in Congress were
strong enough to influence his actions
in various ways. But, after all, he
was himself strong man exercising
comprehensive authority; and it is
an example Of the fexibility of the
constitution that, while it surely did
not authorize certain Of Lincoln's acts,
it did not expressly forbid them

One of the earliest photographs of
Lincoln was owned by Geo. Schneider
Of Chicago, former editor of the
Stats Zeitung, one of the most in
fuential anti-slavery newspapers in
the west. In 1854 Mr.. Lincoln was in
Chicago and Mr.. Isaac N. Arnold, a
prominent politician and lawyer of
Illinois, invited Mr.. Schneider to dine
with Lincoln. After dinner, as the
gentlemen were going downtown, they
stopped at an itinerant photograph
wagon and Mr.. Lincoln had his picture
taken.
