Upward Q. Dies. A. A. G. jaR OI K LATE PRESIDENT. 1 invresting llemiuiseenres l»y a French Writer. In tin* late number of 4he Revue des 1 >eu\ Moudes appeal's an interesting article nu President Lincoln. The writer is M. AugusU- Langel. who paid a visit to Washington some months ago, and had several opportunities of seeing the late President in private as well as in public. He gives much information on the condition ol the United States when the war broke out, and on the career ot Mr. I.in coin before and after his elevation to the Pres idency: but the most attractive passages arc those which are «»fa personal character. The following scene, for instance, is graphically sketched. The opening sentence allude# to one of the old Kings of France, who is said t<*have administered justice in the open air iu the park of Vincennes : “Come and see St. Louis under the oaks of ; Vincennes,’ said Me C'harlesSummer one day I to me. He told me mat the President opened j once a week, no matter how pressing his oc cupations, his Cabinet to all who desired to I address a petition or claim to him. Wo set out for the White House, and entered Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, where, without being an nounced, we took our places with a dozen people who were waiting for their turn. The walls were covered with large maps repre sentiog the divers places where the war was going on. Over the chimney hung a portrait ot President Jackson, the features dry and harsh, and bearing the impress of extreme energy. Over the marble 1 here was a photo graph likeness, beautifully done—it was that of John Bright, the eloquent defender of the American Union iu the British Parliament,. Through two spacious windows could I see the white lines of tfle Potomac, the winding uplands of Maryland,* and the half-hiddeu obelisk of Washington standing iu sharp re lief to the biue sky. Between the two win dows stood a huge writing-table, before which the President, was seated. He did not perceive Mr. Surnnet being at the moment, engaged in talking to ome peti tioner, whom he dismissed soon after we entered. The usher—who, by the wky, was dressed like everybody' else—brought for ward a woman She appeared to be in deep affliction, and it was with difficulty that she •could explain that her husband was a soldier in the tegular army, that he had served for a long term, and now asked for leave to quit his regiment and return to support Ins lami ly. She got more and more embarrassed as she spoke. ‘ ‘Let me help you, ” said Mr. Lineolu, kiudly, and thereupon he put ques tions to her with the method and clearness of a lawyer. On the luminous rectangle of the^window, through which poured a flood of sunshine, his profile appeared dark; with the right hand he oftpn pushed up his hair, which made it staud straight, or changed it into disordered tufts. While he spoke all the muscles of his face put in movement gave an angular and strange contour to his head, which had some semblance to that ot Me pbistopbeles; but his voice had all the soft ness ol the lather. After putting some ques tions to the. poor woman, he said. “I can’t hxygeltj grant you what you ask." TKavo the r all thr nrm ies of the Union,’ he added with aMrSHjpT laugh, ‘but I cannot give a single soldier his discharge. Only the Colonel of your hus band's regiment can do what you want.’— The woman deplored her poverty. She had never, she said, suffered so much. ‘Madam,’ said Mr. Lincoln, deepening to a tone of slow and impressive solemnity, 'I share your sor row ; but remember that we, all of us as we are, have never suffered what we now suffer. We have all of us our burdens to bear!” He then leant toward her, and for some time we only heard the murmur of the two voices. I saw him write a few words ou a piece of pa per, and give to the woman ; he then dis missed her with the forms of the most Scru pulous politeness. The next who advanced was a young man, who held out his baud to the President, and said with a loud voice, 'ns lbr me, I have come only to shake hands with President Lincoln. ‘Much obliged, sir,’ said the President, offering his big band, ‘this is our day for business.’ ” Mr. Lincoln, says M. Langel, possessed a most lender and compassionate heart, and one would say. he wore in hir, soul mourning for all who perished during the terrible years of his presidency. • "A sadness which was almost superhuman passed now and then over his brow, ou which the wrinkles had deepened into furrows—on tho.se strange features where the hearty laugh of other days had become a sort of painful grimace. 1 remember meeting the President one evening toward nightfall. He was just leaving the White House, and,according to his habit was going to the War Office to get news. There was noboby with Mm, though be had often been'recommended not to go out alone; but he despised danger and he had a horror of constraint. With his plaid folded round him against the cold, he moved slowly on, lost in reverie, like a tall phantom. I was struck with the pensive and suffering expression Os his face. Agitation and anxiety bad gradually bent, and at"last broken, that stout and rustic nature, and worn the nerves of steel of the giant,. For four long years be never knew what an hour of repose was. Even his re ceptions were horrible sufferings. W beu the saloons of the White House were open, the tide of visitors rolled on without stopping before him. and liis big and honest hand grasped all those that were held out to him. The slave of the American people, he-vvas condemned to stay at Washington when everybody else had fled from its beat and dust He only escaped m search of a little verdure to the smiling slopes where the Pre lideni s country-house is situated by the side State keeps a few invalids since the Mexican war In his walks he saw the beautiful woods cut down to make room for the para jets al ,d glacis of the forts; and at a short distance was the large burial-ground, w heie ten thousand graves, all • arranged m lines, • were still fresh. 1 have seen amidst these woods this city of the dead, with its long parallels of alleys, Us ten thousand white stones all alike, and each one marked with the name of a soldier. One seems to pass in review these interminable • rank?, the same ness of which has something terrible- These PRICE. 5 CENTS soldiers, who noK sleep in an order which nothing will trouble more. Mr. Lincoln had beheld young, vigorous and full of health 1" While at Washington M. Langel had the honor of an invitation to accompany Mr. Lin coin, to see “Lear” performed, to Ford’s play-house, and in the same box where he was so soon after foully murdered. “The Washington Theatre is small and in a state of decay. You reach the President's box*by an open passage behind the galleries, and you had only to open a door and draw a curtain to enter. The front of the box was covered with a piece of red velvet, but the interior was not covered with either cloth or velvet. I was, as may be supposed, more oc cupied with the President than the perform ance. He. however, listened with attention, though he knew the play by heart. He fol lowed all the incidents oi it with the greatest interest, and talked with Mr. Sumner and my self only between the acts. His second son, a a boy of 11. was near him, and Mr.Lincoln held nim’on his lap nearly' the whole time, leaning on him. and often pressed the laughing or as tonished face of the child on hia broad chest. To his many questions lie replied with the greatest patience. Certain allusions of King Lear to the sorrows of paternity caused a cloud to pass over the President's brow, for he had lost a young child at the White House, and never was consoled, i may be pardoned for dwelling on recollections so personal, which, under other circumstances, I should communicate only to a friend; for it was on that very spot where I saw him with his child and his friends, that death struck down one so full of meekness, as gentle as a woman, as simple as a child. It was there he received the Parthian arrow of vanquished Slavery, and fell, the noble victim of the noblest of causes.” Mr. Langel concludes his sketch with these words ‘As always happens, the people, astound ed by their sorrow, only now feel all they have lost Condemned by the force of events to become a groat man, Mr. Lincoln has gain ed a glory which he never coveted. With what larger joy he would lefused it if, at sucli a price, he could have spared his coun try the cruel trials from amid which his name was slowly to rise. His glory will survive many a gniidy and hollow renown. It will give anew feature to that pure ideal which places greatness in simplicity; which makes power itend to the law; and which does not separate liproism from self-denial. I should say enough if i said that Mr. Lincoln was a Christian statesman, taking the word in its most sublime sense. He never thoUght ol' himself; and so his own country and the whole world will keep him in their Memory forever.” ’ THR COURTS. SECOND PROVOST COURT CAPT. T. P. RCNDI.ET, •IBOOK PRESIDING.
