Brief Sketch of the Life of the Young Man
Who may be the next next Republi
can Nominee for President.
Secretary Lincoln is as yet best
known as the son of his father. A
egacy of greatness has descended to
him by that inevitable inheritance
which gives to the worthy son a
goodly portion of the esteem in
which his ancestors have been held.
Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, however, is
himself a very able and promising
young man, so far. as his limited
opportunities in public life enabl e
the biographer to form an opinion.
Robert Todd Licoln is the oldest
and the only surviving son of the
“Martyred president,” Abraham
Lincoln. lie was born at Spring-
field, Ill., on the 1st of August, 1843.
He was prepared for college under
the toutorsliip of a Mr. Esta brook,
of his native city, after which lie
Entered the Illinois State Univer
sity. He came east in 1850, and
one year later entered the Philips
Academy at Exeter, where Daniel
Webster received his early educa
tion. After a brief attendance at
this school he was admitted to
Harvard University as a member
of the class of ’04, having passed
a highly credible examination.—
Graduating in due time be entered
the law school of the University,
from which lie retired after a brief
stay to accept a conimision as a cap
tain in the United States armory
and assistant adjutant general of
staff of General Grant, lie soon re
signed this position and resumed
the study of law at Chicago,
where ha was admitted to the bar
of Illinois in 1807. In partnership
with a Mr. Scammon lie began the
pratice of his profession, but soon
withdrew from this connection and
made a tour in Europe. Returning
in 1872 lie formed a partnership
with Edward S. Isham, for the
practice of law under the firm
name of Isham & Lincoln. With
this gentleman he has since been
associated in his professional la
bors. In 1870 lie was elected .Su
pervisor of the town of South
Chicago, and was sent from Cook
county to the Illinois State Conven
tion at Springfield, which nomina
ted delega tes to the Republican Na
tional Covention held at Chicago
in 1870. He was an elector on the
Republican ticket for the State of
Illinois, and was appointed a trust-

Cultivate a Sweet Voice.
There is no power of love so hard
to get and keep as a kind voice. A
kind hand is deaf and dumb. It
may be rough in flesh and blood,
yet do the work of a soft heart, and
do it with a soft touch. But there
is no one tiling that love so much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what
it means and feels, and it is hard to
get it and keep it in the right tone.
One must start in youth, and be on
the watch night and day, at work
and play, to get and keep a voice
that shall speak at all times the
thought of a kind heart. But this
is the time when a sharp voice is
most apt to be got. You often hear
boys and girls say words at play
with a quick, sharp tone, as if it
were the snap of a whip. When
one of them gets vexed you will
hear a voice that sounds as if it
were made up of a snarl, a whine
and a bark. Such a voice often
speaks worse than the heart feels.
It shows more ill-will in the tone
than in the words. It is often in
mirth that one gets a voice or a
tone that is sharp, and sticks to him
through life, and stirs up ill-will
and grief, and falls like a drop of
gall on the sweet joys at home.
Such as these get a sharp home
voice for use and keep their best
voice for those they meet else
where, just as they would s$ve
their best cakes and pies for guests
and all their sour food for their oven
board. I would say to all boys and
girls, “Use your guests voice at
home.” Watch it by day as a pearl
of great price, for it will be worth
more to you in the days to come
than the best pearl hid in the sea.
A kind voice is a lark’s song to a
hearth and home. It is to the heart
what light is to the eve.—Jewish
Messenger.

Air. Lincoln was appointed by
President Garfield to the high posi
tion he now fills so acceptably. It
was a most satisfactory choice, and.
fitting tribute, not only to his own
ability, but to the illustrious name
he bears. While he has found it
impossible to escape criticism, yet
helms exhibited sound judgement
and marked ability in the discharge
of his duties at Washington.
Air. Lincoln, like many other
eminent men lias a pardonable hor
ror of the newspaper interviewer,
but there is one species of inter
viewer which al! bis ingenuity has
been unable to evade. We refer
to the colored people; especially
the' veterans of “fo’ile wall,” who
insist upon expressing to him the
unspeakeable gratitude they feel
for his father. He is often made
the involuntary recipient of con
gratulations from some repx-esenta 1
five of the colored race, on his be
ing “de son and born image of de
oleman.”
“Look da gentleman at dat mouf
and years!” said an old fellow who
had stolen into Air. Lincoln’s pri
vate office. “Dat smile, gentleman,
dat smiie,” he continued, seizing
him by the band,” I of’n seed your,
fader, sail,” By considerable per
suasion and the tender of a douc
eur, the old man was at length in
duced to retire. Air. Lincoln has
been very successful in his profes
sion. He has a frank aud liparty
manner and a very pleasant ad
dress. His eyes are the only fea
ture in which he resembles, liis fa
ther. His hair is dark, his height
about five feet nine inches, and his
weight something like one hundred
and forty-five pounds. He is par
ticularly careful in the matter of
dress, and in every respect he is a
most courteous and urbane gentle
man. i lis career thus far is such as
to justify the hope that the glory
of the name be.bears will, at least,
suffer no detraction at his hands.

AH. Carlisle has appointed the
committees of the House. He is
not likely to lose as much by the
operation as Air. James G. Blaine
once lost in a similar way. Air.
Blaine lost the nomination and
election to the Presidency by his
refusal to give a certain man the
place lie wanted on a certain com
mittee. It occurred in this way.
Air. Cessna, of Pennsylvania, im
plored Mr. Blaine, while the latter
was Speaker, to make him chair
man of the judiciary committee.
Air. Blaine declined, and gave the
place to another man. A year or
two later the Cincinnati convention
came along. Air. Cessna was a del
egate. “I want to be chairman of
the committee on rules,” said Cess
na to the anti-Blaine men in Cin
cinnati, “and if I don’t beat Blaine
you may take my head for a foot
ball.” Air. Cessna was made chair
man of the committee on rules, and
in that capacity made a report to
the effect that after any State had
cast its vote for President, that vote
could not be changed until after
the result of the whole ballot had
been announced. Very few in the
convention saw the import of this
rule when it was reported and
adopted—but it, and it alone, beat
James G. Blaine as a Presidential
nominee. The original plan of the
Blaine men was to force a nomina
tion on the first ballot—to get
enough changes from complimen-
taries to Blaine to make the latter’s
nomination certain before the re
sult was announced. The Cessna
rule stopped all that. The stam
pede to Biaine could not be started,
and Blaine was beaten. “I guess,”
said Air. Cessna, as he witnessed
tin* operation of his own scheme,

me now.”—St. Louis Globe-Demo

A System of Bribery that is Dangerous.
The bill of Representative Vance
of North Corolina, prohibiting any
member of the government from
receiving free passes on railroads,
free stamps from telegraph compa
nies or stock from any bank as a
gift, will lie watched with a great
deal of interest. It will pass, of
course, if it reaches a vote, because
no member would dare to vote
against it. There are, however,
many ways to defeat it without
putting members on record with
regard to it, and if it fails to come
up for action it will be safe to con
clude that one of these ways has
been adopted. There is no more
dangerous system of bribery than
the free pass system. Alen who
would scorn to accept money for
their vote, do not hesitate to accept
the courtesies of the railroad and
telegraph companies. Members
may console themselves with the
thought that by accepting a rail
road pass, or a telegraph frank,
they are not binding themselves to
perform any service for these cor
porations. They do not, however,
deceive themselves. They know
that by accepting the favors of the
railroad, telegraph and banking
companies, they contract certain
obligations which they are expect
ed to discharge. Railroads, and
telegraphs, and banks, are money
making institutions. There is no
reason why they should shower
favors on members of Congress
and other high officials. They have
a purpose, of course, and that they
continue to scatter their favors is
evidence that they accomplish their
purpose* It is almost impossible to
get Congress to act on measures
which are hostile to the great cor
porations. Congressman Reagan
has been trying for six years to get
ids inter-state commerce bill, which
gives the government a limited
control of the great inter-state rail
roads, before the House. It cannot
be said that the bill has made any
progress. There are millions of
acres of public lands which are
claimed by corporations which have
done nothing to earn them. Efforts
have been made to have these
lapsed grants forfeited, but without
success. Why is it that the inter
ests of the great corporations are
so zealously guarded? Is it not
because of the free passes and oth
er appreciated favors. If high"
officials are provided with special
cars when they travel, is it not to
be expected that when the oppor
tunity occurs they will show their
appreciation of such favors? A
Judge who travels on a free pass is
not half so apt to administer the
law impartially as between the
corporation which issued his pass
and the citizen as a.Judge who pays
his traveling expenses. It would
be interesting to know how many
members of Congress travel be
tween their homes and the nation
al capital on passes, although their
expenses are paid by the govern
ment. It is probable that a very
large per cent, of them pay no tele
graph tolls. Air. Vance will make
a record for himself which the peo
ple will not soon forget, if he suc
ceeds in getting his bill passed.
At the dinner of the New Eng
land Society, in New York, on Sat
urday, George William Curtis re
lated the following anecdote: “J
remember many years ago, when I
was one of a group of young writers
upon the Tribune, and Air. Greeley
was an ardent temperance reform
er, that a vigorous article appeared
one morning urging young men to
avoid the tempter in whatever
form lie might appear, whether as
punch or bitters, as sherry or
Aladeira, as hock or claret, as
Heidsieck or champagne. The
young writers, who were not ardent
temperance reformers, greeted Air.
Greeley uproariously when be
appeared at the office, and with in
finite glee pointed out to him that
Heidsieck was not a different wine,
but only a particular brand of
champagne. As the laugh rang
round the room, Air. Greeley, who,
as his opponents usually found, was
quite able to hold his own, leaned
with his shoulder against the wall,
looking benignly at the laughing
chorus, and when it became quiet
he said, ‘Wal, boys, I guess I’m the
Jerry and Joe.
The death of the late “Judge J.
>S. Black has brought up an inci
dent that occurred in New York in
1857. The writer was a little call-
boy at the Astor House at the time,
and Judge J. S. Black, the new At
torney General of the United States
had arrived. His rooms were
thronged with the great and dis
tinguished politicians. The next
day there arrived a small, gray
haired gentleman from the West.
He registered as Judge J. Williams,
Iowa. For a few minutes lie look
ed over the register, ^ind the little
boy, who was waiting for an order,
noticed that all at once he gave a
start and asked for a card. The
card read as follows: The Supreme
Judge of Iowa presents his compli
ments to the Attorney General of
the United States,” and taking up
a half-sheet of paper, Judge Wil
liams wrote the following:
Oil, Jerry, dear Jerry, I've found you at
last,
And memory, burdened with scenes of
the past,
Returns to old Somerset's mountains of
snow,
When j’ou was hut Jerry and I was but
Joe.
In less than three minutes the
great dignified Judge Black was
coming down the stairs two steps
at a time, and the little bell-boy in
close pursuit. The scene in the
office of the Astor House will al
ways be remembered by those who
were so fortunate as to be witness
es. To old school mates and law
students were together after a sep
aration of some thirty years. Two
old men embraced each other and
neither able to utter a word. Botli
have passed away, and no better
representatives of the American
bar, that have sprung up from hum
ble origin, can be found in Ameri
can history.—Ex.
From the Lexington Gazette.
Didn’t “Tote Fair.”
Some years ago a gentleman in
this city was in the habit of taking
some whisky daily in greater or
less quantity, and kept a jug in his
place of business for that purpose.
His old servant Daniel was per
mitted access to the jug and did his
part of the drinking pretty regular
ly. The jug was filled regularly
when necessary. The gentleman
determined to quit drinking entire
ly, and he did so without saying a
word to anybody. The week fol
lowing old Daniel notified his boss
that the jug was empty. The boss
told Daniel that he must have
drank it all, as he, the boss, had
quit for more than a week. Doniei
was surprised, if not mortified, and
said: “Lor’, Alars Tom, I thought
you was drinkin’ fa’r wid me.”
Daniel has pined from that day
over that reformation.
The Witness knew Him.—“Mr.
Smith, do you know the character
of Air. Jones?”
“Wall, I rather guess I do, jedge.”
“Well, what do -you say about
it ?”
“Wall, h ain’t so bad a man after
all.”
“Well, Air. Smith, what we want
to know is: Is Air. Jones of a quar
relsome and dangerous disposi
tion ?”
“Wall, jedge, I should say that
Tom Jones is very vivid in verbal
exercise, but when it comes to per
sonal adjustment he liain’t eager
for the contest.”
Never Joke.
The Washington Critic says:
When the Toledo Telegram says
that “if S. »S. Cox had never made a
joke he might be tl\e next speaker
of the House,” it is only putting in
sententious form what is heard in
many forms all about Washington
every hour nowadays. Why is it
that a man who adds great power
and clearness in the discussion of
great questions the ability to amuse
as he goes along should be so un
derrated by the public? It is a
singular fact, but fact it is, and al
ways has been. Tom Corwin was
probably the greatest man Ohio
ever produced, but because he could
amuse as well as instruct he was
always sneered at by the owls of
politics as a “joker.” It took two
elections and a martyr’s grave to
give Abraham Lincoln any other
reputation than that of a joker and
a story teller.
When Oliver P. Morton was start
ing .in 1856 upon that wonderful
career that made him one of the
most conspicuous figures of the
war period, he commenced by seek
ing to enliven that extraordinary
logical eloquence, if such a term is
admissable, possessed by him in
such degree by anecdote and witti
cism. He had a happy turn that
way. At Terre Haute, after a bril
liant effort that commended itself
to his followers, a venerable and
famous politician took the young
orator to task:
“Young man, if you want to be
regarded as a great man, a great
leader, never tell a story, never
utter a joke; look solemn and
pound the table.”
A Wise Suggestion.—One of the
evils of this country is the loose,
slipshod manner in which business
is done, and the way men will reck
lessly run into debt with no proba
bility of paying up. It ought to be
a fixed and invariable rule to pre
sent monthly or quarterly state
ments of accounts. Those who run
accounts at the dry goods, grocery
or drug stores, for a great length of
time without settlement are almost
certain to find tlieir accounts have
grown faster than they expected.
If accounts were presented month
ly, then people could see how they
stand, and in many instances would
put a check upon their extrava
gance. Good business men are
generally prompt in making collec
tions, and this enables them to be
prompt pay. We sometimes hear
a man spoken of as a good man to
deal with because he never presents
bills. This is all wrong. All men
ought to present bills, and do so
promptly and systematically. Bus
iness men in this country can have
much influence in educating the
people in these things. Settlements
ought to be had, even if payments
cannot be made. If all were in the
habit of paying down for every
thing, or settling up on short time,
no one would have any less money
—all would know exactly where
they stand, all would be careful and
economical. The result of all this
would bo increased prosperity, and
we-should hear of less suffering
from hard times and debt. Our
advice to the people is to settle up
—and pay up if you can. Pay your
store bills—and everybody else,
and you will feel better, and make
them feel better.—Alarietta Jour
nal.

From the Hartford Times.
A Courageous Woman.
The bravest woman in the world
lives in Hartford. She is not yet
twenty years of age and has im
mortalized herself by her courage.
She has shown it in tackling, sin
gle-handed and alone, and captur
ing the ferocious mouse. While the
other ladies of the household ran
screaming away from the animal
and found safety only in mounting
the chairs and tables, our heroine,
with unblanched cheeks, walks in
to the pantry where the vicious
beast is lurking behind the pans or
dishes, and, regardless of her per
sonal safety, begins the hunt by
rattling the tinware. In a moment
the mouse is scampering along the
shelves, spurred up to its utmost
activity by the hands of the plucky
girl, who is determined to capture
the animal alive. A live mouse in
a woman’s hands. Can you realize
the courage it requires for a woman
to handle a live mouse ? A little
cry of delight and the victory is
won. The girl comes out of the
pantry with a smiling face and
cheeks rosy with the excitement of
the chase. She goes into the sit
ting room holding the prize in her
hand, the little fellow struggling to
get away. The ladies, still perched
on the chairs and table, set up a
chorus of screams, much to the de
light of the brave young lady, who
sometimes varies the sport by let
ting the captive loose on the table
or floor. The scene that follows, if
it could be reproduced on the stage
of a theatre, would make a fortune
for the manager.
This girl has got a stick with
twenty-nine notches upon it, each
notch representing a mouse caught
by her own hands. In the eyes of
her relatives she is a greater hero
ine than Joan of Arc.
The following is told by the Ala-
son News: Quite an amusing inci
dent oceured in our county some
time ago. It was certainly a new
departure. A loving couple repair-
edtothe residence of one of our jus
tices and asked to be “spliced.” The
honorable justice reached for a
statute-book, and after looking in
vain for a form, he ordered the
couple to stand up- ‘Now,” said he
“hold up your right hands.” He
then proceeded: “Will each of
you solemnly swear to perform the
duties of matrimoney, so help you
God.” They nodded an assent, af
ter which the couple went on their
way rejoicing. That is what we
term business. •

nected, and discomfort and defal
