A Natural INQUIRY.

The simplicity of some former in
augural happenings is illustrated by
an odd story which has been revived
and is going the rounds at Washing
ton. 1t was originally told by Freder-
lex Douglass in his lecture on John
Brown. Just after his first Inaugural
ton President Lincoln was one day
backing his boots in democratic fash
ion when several foreign diplomats
called and caught him in the act. One
os them remarked, sneeringly: MT.
President, in our countries the chief
executives do not black their own
boots" Indeed" said Mr.. Lincoln,

Presently, with sign Indicating re-
