KomeIy Abraham Lincoln.

In Colonel Clark Z. Carr's book,
The Him." he tells of his first
glimpse OF Abraham Lincoln and Of his
impressions Of him at that time. He
says: Rapidly as the coach had swept
by the hotel 1 had noticed that the
driver was not alone on his high seat.
He had q companion, and before any
OF the other passengers could alight
this companion had alighted. stepping,
as it seemed to me, from the high coach
box clear to the ground, he was so very
tall and his legs were so very long.
Ny first impression was that he was
the homeliest man I had ever seen, but
as he moved and spoke this impression
was gradually changed. He was awk-
ward and ungainly, bony and angular,
his body abnormally extended, his long
legs and arms terminating in big feet
and large, bony fingers. His neck was
long and seemed to be intended espe-
cially to lift his head high enough to
survey every object about him. His
head was covered with thick, matted
brown hair"

always looking for the brightness of
life. He once told the Spectator that
in all his thousands OF miles Of travel
he had never been in a railway or
steamship accident or seen one. The
last letter which the Spectator received
from Mr.. Jefferson was reminiscent of
their earlier friendship and closed with
these words:

Alas, she was bound too securely!
Finally the conveyance stopped. She
