[Ben: Berley Poore.)
President Lincoln has lieen made re
sponsible for so many jokes that he rs-
miuds one of a noted Irish wit, who,
having bean ruined by indorsing the
notes of his friends, used to curse the
day whon ho learned to write his name,
as ho lmd obtained each a reputation
(pr willingness to oblige that ho could
not refuse. Ur. Lincoln might well
have regretted everhavingmade a joke,
for ha was expected to aay something
funny on all occasions, and has been
made nnswerablo for all manner ol
jests, stories and roparteos, as if lie had
combined all the afements of Immor,
common-placeheartlessncss, and coarse
ness, mingled with a passion for re
viving the jokes of Joe Miller and the
circus clowns. Yet ho did say many
cxeeUc-iit things. On ono occasion when
,'ffcnator Wndo carao to him anil said:
i i "I tell yon, Mr. President, l.liut un
ions a proposition for emancipation is
adopted by tlu> government, wo will nil
go MtUifuetil; at this very moment we
aro not brer,ono mile from hell."
“PejbapB hot,” said Mr, Lincoln, “os
I boliovo that is just about tbo distance
from here to tlio capitol, u boro yon
gentleman arc in session.”
On ono occasion, at a reception, when
the crowd of citizens and soldieia were
purging through tho salons of the
Whito Honso, ovidontly controlled liy
the somewhat lirus-|UO western element,
n gentleman said to him: - i
"Mr. President, you must diminish
the number of your friends, or congress
must cnlargo this edifice.”
“Well,” promptly replied Mr. Lin-
eoln, “1 lmvo no idea of diminishing tlie
number of my friends; but the only
question with me now is whether it will
ho host to have tho building stretched or
At one of these rocoptions whon a
paymaster in full major's uniform was
introducod, lie said:
"Being bore, Mr. Lincoln. I thought
I would cull and pay my respects.” '
“J-’roiu tile complaints made by the
soldiers," : responded the president, “1
guess that is all any of you do pay.”
Wurd Lamiiu, when Lincoln lmd ap
pointed him marshal of tlio District of
Columbia,, accidentally found himself
ill a street light, and, in ro during peace-,
ho struck one of tlio belligerents with
ills fist, a weapon with wli'oli ho was
notijionsly familiar. Tbo plow was a
harder One than Larnon intended, fur
fbo follow was knocked senae/ess, taken
lip nuconscioua, aud lay for some honrs
on tlio border of life and doath. Lamon
was alarmed* and tho noxt morning re
ported the affair to the president.
“1 am astonished at yon, Ward,” said
Mr. Lincoln, “you ought to have known
better. Horoaftcr, when you have to
hit a*man, uso a club and not your list.”

(T. Colon! in Fortnightly Review.]
Franco is henceforth a vast intrenched
camp, which can bo defended in a week
by J ,000,000 and in a month by il.OOO,-
000 men. I know that all is not yet
perfect in this organization, but I also
know that each day a great step in ad
vance is made. “Well, then," it will bo
askod, “wliat is tliore to bo anxious
about? So much tlio better if you ore
armed; no ono will think of attacking
you." Vis, no doubt; but you must un
derstand tiiat Franco (aud heroiu lies
tlio gravity of tho present state of
things) desires, with ardor proportioned
to the growth of her strength, to bo
formally sot free from tho night-maro
dread of a possible invasion. Her do-
fouslvo power is only partially reassur
ing, and hor immense armament is a
heavy burden; thero is a flagrant con*
tradiation between the institution of
universal barracks and those republican
aspirations which are becoming more
and'more democratic day by day. The
simplest solution would be to fling our
solves at all hazards upon Germany, to
take back from hor our former fron
tiers, and to disarm hor. That being
done, we, too, might lay down our
arms.
Many peoplo erroneously imagine
that tho French cherish tho idea of it,
but nothing of tho sort is true. Thero
is not within my knowledge a singlo
politician who dreams of such a thing,
and among tho people it w ould be most
unpopular. This terrible game, in
which our fato as a nation would be tho
