Lincoln and wehater,s Friend


The late Hon Charles w. Slack told
the following Of the Hon. Peter Har.
vey, the friend and biographer Of Dan
lei Webster:
Mr. Harvey was large man with a
small voice and that poinposity Of
manner that many very difldent men
possess. Above everything, he valued
and prided himself upon his friendship
with the great expounder."
The first year of the war of the re-
bellion he went to Washington, and
on his return was asked how he liked
President Lincoln.
WELL" he said, "AIr. Lincoln IL a
very singular man, went on to see
him, and told him that had been an
intimate personal friend Of Daniel
Webster; that had talked with him
so much on the affairs Of the country
that ! felt perfectly confident | could
tell him exactly what Mr.. Webster
would advise in the present crisis, and
thereupon talked to Lincoln for two
solid hours, telling him Just what he
should do and what he should not do;
and, will you believe II, sir, when |
got through all Mr. Lincoln said was,
as he clapped his hand on my leg.

calf you have got!"-B Boston Herald.
