POSTMASTER LINCOLN.
What Happened When He Was calIes
Upon to Square Accounts.

TIC TNaRRGEACQ HtiG y GO GttS
Upon to Square Accounts.
On May Z, 1888, says F. r. Browne
In 'The Everyday Life of Abraham
Lincoln" Lincoln was appointed post
master at New Salem, ILL.,, by Presi
lent Jackson. The duties of the posi-
ton were light, for there was only one
mail a week and the remuneration
was correspondingly small.
The Office was too insignificant to be
considered politically. and it was Civ
en- to the young man because every
one liked him and because he was the
only man willing to take it who could
make out the returns. He was exceed.
ingly pleased with the appointment be.
cause it gave him a chance to read ev.
cry newspaper that was taken in the
vicinity. He had never been able to
get half the newspapers he wanted,
and the Office gave him the prospect
of a constant feast. Not wishing to
be tied to the office, since it yielded
him no revenue that would reward
him for the confinement, he made a
postoffice of his hat. Whenever he
went out he put the letters in his hat.
When a person who expected a letter
met the postmaster he found also tho
postofice, and the public official, tax.
ing off his hat, looked owe and deliv'
cred the mail wherever the public
might find him. He kept the Office I'M
til 1t was discontinued or was removed
to Petersburg.
A small balance due the government
remained in LincolD's hands at the dis
continuance of the office. Time pass.
ed on and he had removed to Spring
field and was practicing law, having
his place of business in DR.. Henry's
office. Meanwhile his struggle with
poverty was %unabated. and he had
often been obliged to borrow money
from his friends to purchase the barest
necessaries. 1t was at that j~uncture
that a government agent called to
make a settlement of the old postoffice
accounts. The interview took place in
the presence of DR.. Henry, who thus
described it to Mr.. Browne:
st did not believe he had the money
on hand to meet the draft, and | was
about to call him aside and offer to
lend him the money when he asked
the agent to be seated. He went over
to his trunk at his boarding house and
returned with an old blue sock, In
which a quantity of silver and copper
coins was tied up. Untying the sock.
he poured the contents upon the table
and proceeded to count the coins.
1.-THE government agent found that
the pile contained the exact amount
OF the draft to a cent and in the iden-
teal coins that Mr.. Lincoln had re-
ceived. He never under any circum-
stances used trust funds.'
