Lew Wallace and Lincoln.

The few uneventful years he spent
in Covington we're distinguished by
one important event. 1t was there
that he saw Abraham Lincoln for the
first time. The Indiana bar had even
then some brilliant and notable men
among it's members, and a case of ex-
traordinary interest had called them
together at the fall term and the cir
cult court. In relating the circum-
stance, General Wallace said: Dur
ing the session we were in the habit
of gathering at the old tavern in the
evening, after adjournment. 1t was a
brilliant company, whose talk was
well worth hearing. One evening there
appeared suddenly within our midst
a tall. ungainly man, homely of visage,
and rather shabbily dressed. He did
not intrude himself but sat on the
outskirts of the company, neither
proffering opinions nor taking sides
in the controversies that, occasion
ally, became p. city warm. No one
seemed to know anything about him,
and when | asked a friend who he
was he replied carelessly, oh, that is
some thirdrate lawyer; a man named
Lincoln from somewhere in Illinois.
One evening, however after he had
been there some time" General Wal
lace continued, something moved
him to speak, and then he began to
talk. We all sat spellbound.
Il have never" General Wallace
said, heard anything that approached
it; the logic, the wit, the pertinent
anecdote that poured out in an un-
ceasing stream. He talked thus for
three solid hours. Some one said,
Whoever that fellow is, we shall
hear from him again some day 1t
was my first meeting with Abraham
Lincoln" he said, "and the prophecy
that we should hear from him again,
it must be admitted, was abundantly
verified. ."-Harper's Weekly.
