When Schurz Met Lincoln.

From "Reminiscences of a Long Life" by Carl Schurz in the January McClure's.
 I must confess that I was somewhat
 overlapping by several inches all those
 surrounding him. Although measuring
 something over six feet myself, had,
 when standing quite near to him, to throw
 my head backward in order to look into
 his eyes That swarthy face, with its strong features. its deep furrows and it's ! benignant, melancholy eyes, is now fa miliar to every American. It may be said that the whole civilized world knows and l loves it. At that time 1t was cean-shaven
 and looked eevn more haggard and care 1 worn than later, when it was framed in 1 whiskers.
 On his head he wore a somewhat bat
 tered "stove-pipe hat" His neck emerged, 1 long and snewy, from a white collar l turned down over a thin black necktie.
 His lank, ungainly body was clad in a
 rusty black frock coat with sleeves that l should have been longer; but his arms 1 appeared so long that the sleeves of a
 store" coat could hardly have been ex- pected to cover them all the way down
 to the wrists. His black trousers too. per 1 mitted very full view of his large feet. l On his left arm he carried a gray woolen
 shawl, which evidently served him for an 1 overcoat in chilly weather. His left hand 1 held a cotton umbrella of the bulging kind. and also black satche that bore 1 the marks of long and hard usage. His l right he had kept free for hand-shalng. l of which there was no end until every 1 body in the car seemed to be satisfied. I l had seen. in Washington and in the west.
 several public men of rough appearance, | but none whose looks seemed quite so l uncouth, not to say grotesque, as Lin- 1 coln's
