The 1'crlnd of Clmrnrtrr rurmntlon and Doubtful Stories. " Early in l&Wtbo Lincoln family movocl to IlllnoU, mid Into in 1834 Abraham wiucluwoa a member of tho legislature. In tho flvo years Intervening nro located nearly all the romantia scones of Abraham Lincoln' early Ufa. This was tho mythical period, n period through which every hero mutt pan. It U Ike period around which clutter oil tho float lag myth and legends, all tho stories of per oosJ prowess and strcnsthi.huildlus boats, putting rails, serving aalntt tho Indians, wrestling, lighting, tryli. 'lrst ono business fid tbon another, falling to somo extent In 11, and most lamentably in many, In thort, tola was tho period of Lincoln1 llfo which may be called chaos. It U a curlou fact that n very largo por otoUgoof tho men associated with Lincoln during this ttmo, and especially during tho Utter part of It, bavo become omlncut. Xarly In 1831, during tho winter of deop now, lincoln bocamo a clerk for ono Donton OsTut, at Now Salom, ou tho Sangamon river. Offut fulled nud Llucoln was thrown out of employment. About tbo eatno tlmn Lincoln conceived tho Idea of nn luiproveincnt In boats. Ho whittled out a model with his own band and secured patent therefor In tho patent oaico at Washington. No furthor use was over mado of It. Ilo madantrlp to Now Orloans with his coutlu John Hanks, and thcro for tho Hist ttmo ho took clow ob servations of slavery and conceived un In tenso dltllko to It. Ho walked homo from BtLouUnnd resumed tho routine of trying to find his truo vocation. At ono tlmo ho ervod as clerk, at anothor ns storekeeper, was net lvo In tho rudo sports of tho tlmo and gradually camo to bo n sort of oraclo In de ciding neighborhood dispute. At ono tlmo ho was put up to wrestle against tho cham pion of anothor neighborhood, at anothor ho conquered in slnglo hand combat n bully who bad como to tho neighborhood to whip Mm. At another tlmo ho took a very actlvo part In debates concerning tho Improvement of tho Sangamon rlvor, and nt still another ho was famous for months as a furious and Ulkatlvo Whig. In JKt) ho eiUUted to fight the Sao Indians, commaudod by tho famous Black Hawk, and was chosen a cap tain of his company, Ilo and his men mado tab campaign a sort of holiday. Ho wus not engaged In nctu.nl battlo with tho Indians at any tlmo, was muttered out as captain when the term of his company hod expired and enlisted as a prlvnto In tho voluutocr spy battalion, served till tho troops wcro all dis charged and then walked home. Again ho becomo storekeeper, then for a short tlmo to postmaster of Balcm, then a candidate for tho legislature, aud was toatcn for tho only tlmo that ho was defeated In a contest beforo tho public, but It was noted as a ro m&rkablo fact that In his own precinct of New Salem he received 877 votee ngalnst 3 for tho opposing candidate, and from that time tho politicians looked ou him as a coming power in tho county, Ilo bought a store, sold it, took a note for tho valuo. ex pecting with It to pay tho note ho had given for tbo store. His debtor fulled and ab condod, and this left him poor and struggling with debt for many years. Uo bocamo the deputy of John Calhoun, survoyor of Sanga snoa couuty, and served some months In that capacity; and hero begins that series of ro lairkable coincidences tn the llfo of Abraham Tinnoln and the men he was associated with at that tuuo. This Calhoun was of terwurds the noted "Candlo Box" Calhoun, secretary of the territory of Kansas, who gntnod an Maeari&blo notoriety tn supporting tho bogus legislature It U also alleged that Lincoln was mustered Into the military servico by Jefferson Davis, but this Is not proven. It is esrtata, however, that he was mustered out the service by Robert Anderson, after wards commander of Fort Blunter at the beginning of the war. About this tlmo also fee met Stephen A. Douglas, who was to be Us life time rival; Col Hardin, who was afterward to bo noted la the Mexican wart Mhawtse Messrs, Logan, Brown and Stuart, jutd others who attained national fame. He mi also opposed In one legislative eloctlon to Feter Cartwrigbt, the celebrated pioneer preacher, and defeated that gentleman for ogrea la ItHfl. At the August election of WM he raa ohoasa to the legislature, reoelr lag'saore votee than aay other candidate of sMasr party la ISM ae was again elected to M legislature and look part In that remarks Upalga of lalUUoa, speculatlou, collapse jel temporary deviees to ward off bank- iwytey waieh aU the westeni states passed Msvwww at that ttm. aad is this seuJoa It a thai Lweula Iret appeared apeareeord mm M aatl slavery saaa, Walag sritb Mr. taste m a preteei aaasaes eertaiares- alMwaeawsMjr.at ts expressing lib) Mlof that "tho promulgation of nbolltlon ntternncos tends rather to in croiuo than to ahato tho ovtlsof slavery.' Lincoln remained n member of tho legislature by succcmIvo ro-olectlons from ISVI to l&U, tho capital most of that tlmo lelng In Van dnlla. It tuny, ierhnps, bo nald, twrenthotlo ally, tliut tho poctillnr mlxturo of tho popula tion of Illinois nnd tho growing state of its clvllluitlon at that tlmo nro well Illustrated by tho names Iwrno by many towns In tho itato Pokln, Moscow, Havana, Hprlngflold, Vandnlln, I'unullw and Naples, for instance. Of tho selection of tho name of Vandalla tho following account Is given, and whether truo or false, It fairly Illustrate thostagoof montnl progreM. When tho pioneers motto lay oir tho town and chop tho timber from tho prlncliKil streets, looking forward uven then with tho liox that It should bo tho per manunt stnto capital, an nnlmntod discussion nroM) ns to giving It n sufllclontly high sound ing namo. Appealing to tho only scholar who was present, tho j)loneer wore Informed that It would 1m most appropriate to uamo tho futuro city after somo trlbo of Indians, and, added tho scholar, "I have read of a very unclont trlbo of sn vagus named tho Van dals, who moved south through this country and conquered Homo." Accordingly tho namo Vandal was accepted as locally appro priate, nud tho namo of Uio town was thonco forth Vandalla. Early in his IlllnoU career Mr. Lincoln de veloped that wonderful capacity for telling a story to llluttrata On ono occasion, spook ing of an InquUltivo nolghbor who was troubled to keep tho run of tho candidates, and, tensing Mr. Lincoln for somo opinions, hosnldi "Job reminds mo of Pidjo Rltloy, down at Widow Branch's. Tho widow had a flno growth of glrlsollvo Drenches, thoy used to call thorn llvo bright cr'-turos, nnd ono son. Pooplo said tho old folks not out to havo ten daughters preferred n'rls; but concluded, after tho fifth, to put fill tho womanlshness of flvo moro Into ono son. Any way, young Phil Branch didn't seem to lw of much uso as a man. Tho girls wcro all grown up nnd marrlagcnblo for aver so Ion;; hut when any ouo of them began to bo courted, l'bll would stop In and do somo lidlculous thin;; to upsot tho wlutlo business. Plilgo Ilisloy was n ktran.r, nud when ho moved Into Cal houn county ho gavo out ho was In boarcb of n wifo, so Iio was taken to Widow Branch's In n frleudly way, nnd imscd n merry llrst evening When ho took leave, that usnlots brother hung ou to hhn, nnd tried to llnd out what ho t bought of tho girls, Pldgo wouldn't nay much except that ho liked tho yomigest one's way of Ilxlng hor curls; and tho very noxt tlmo ho called thcro, what do you think! threo out of tho llvo had their hair put up Just tho saino way all In curls. Tbo young est didn't nvim woll ploaxed, but Plilgo on Joyed hlnuolf, nnd when Phil camo around Investigating ngalu ho lot on that ho was a good donl taken by n tasty cap tho oldest daughter wore," Presently Pldgo looked In onco moro of nn evening, and tho llrst thing ho saw was that four of tho girls had tho somo Idontlca) nort of cap ou their heads. That night ho gavo n llttlo tho most attention to tho ono who wore no cap, Just for contrariness, 1 suppose; nnd when Pull uroncu camo prownng n low unys oiler rmgo couldn't linln uivlrv nltlinnMi Im ivno n hlf. sliy of Phil by tliat tlmo, that ho uovor saw a nicer plcturo than tho mhldlo sister of tho flvo, so plump, and fresh, and sparkling, with hor low nocked frock and short slcovc Sun day evening ho dropiwd in after ten, having mentioned to tho widow, at afternoon meet ing, that bo lntendod to do so, and thoro wcro tho wholo llvo In a row, all In low nocks and thort sleeves. That boomed to sot Plilgo to rclloctlng bard, and tho upshot of It wa ho uovor wont near tho Widow Branch's again. Ho was talked to n good deal about It, but you could got nothing out of him except that tliero was altogether too much want of dissimilarity la tho Branch family, and bo couldnt too tho utility of a lot of sisters Iwlng so unanimous. You see, Job," concluded Mr. Llucoln, "tho moro bo saw of "em the mora bo couldn't tell ono from another. " A BLOODY PROLOGUE. Dow the Llncolu Stock Was I'Uiited on the "Dark and moody Uroiuid." Turn back your Imagination, courteous reader, ouo hundred and nlno years and look upon a picture of tho wilderness. A small train of tho canoe shaped and white topped Virginia wagons of that tlmo wcro leaving Rockingham county, Vo,, for the wilderness of JContucky, The war for Independence was not yot closed, and all tho vast region west of tho Alleguanlos was tho homo of tho wild beast and the savage.

Tlio Lincoln stock was well planted In Ken tucky, but It was fortlllzod with blood. Of tho sons of Abraham Lincoln, tho Ken tucky pioneer, Mordocal, who killed tho slayer of his father, bocamo a noted Indian lighter; Joslah remained an averngo obscure citizen, and Thomas bocamo n poor carpen ter and a miserably poor man, only to bo saved from utter WTOck by marrying two good women, and rodeomod from utter ob livion by tho fnmo of his great son. It is al most IniosKlbli) to (oak with respect of Thomas Llucoln. Ono acquaintance, after ransacking his memory for something good to repeat, saldt "Well, ho always dtood by his friends In n rough and tumble tight." Anothor said bo completely "(tiled tho bill" of that noted settler hi tho "Arkansnw Trav eler" dlaloguot "Why don't you cover your IioumP "It's n ralnln' now, so I can't."

Only eight moutlis beforo, Juno 3, 1808, nnd not far away, was born another Kontucklan, destined somo (lfty years later to confront tho liberator on tho stago of tho grnndoht and bloodiest drama of modern times.

LINCOLN AT THE BAR. rersonat Itccollcetlons of lion. Leonard Nwett. During tho cloven years I was with him at tho bar of this stnto I novcr know him to nsk tho advlco of a frlond about anything. Dur ing tho four years of his administration I novcr know and novcr heard of his doing this. I uovor know him In tho preparation of n trial, or tho perplexity of It in court, to turn to his associate and ask his advlco. Tho nearest I aver know him to do this was onco at Bloomlngton, In 1853, nud about ten days beforo bU Joint dobats with Douglas at Charleston. Ilo sent for a hnlf dozen lawyers to moot hhn nt Judgo Davis' houso beforo ho was to speak In Bloomlngton on thosamu day, and when thoy wero assembled ho caldt "Gentlemen, 1 nm going to put to Douglas tin following questions, and tho objoct of, this meeting is to bavo each of you assumo you nro Douglas, and answer them from his stand point." And yot bo was tho bc&t listener I havo over known. Ho would hear any ono on any sub ject, and generally would say nothing in re ply. Ho kept bis own counsels or his bottom thoughts wclL Ho weighed thoroughly his own positions, and tho positions of bis adver sary. Uo put himself In his adversary's posi tion or on the opposite sido of n question, and argued tho question from that standpoint. 1 rodo tho Eighth Judicial circuit with him tor eleveu years, and in tbo allot ment between him and the largo Judge Davis, in tho scanty provision of thoo times, as a rulo, I slept with him.

His characterwas that of groat directness and extromo sim plicity. Clothing to him was mado for cov ering and warmth to tho body, and not for ornament. He never tn his llfo once got the better of his fellow man tn a trade and never loaned money for interest 1 never knew him but once to borrow money or give his note, tie never tasted liquor, never chewed tobacco or smoked, but labored diligently tn hk profession, charging small fees, and was contented with small accumulations. He was, however, very generous in bU expendl turn for bU family. In this manner be accu mulated Ism than 110.000 before bis election to the presidency, aad when be left Springs ttJd had to borrow, and then, so far as I kmow, gave hie note, for the first time, for enough to pay hlsoxpotuosnnd tide him ovor until ho could draw from tho government tho first quarter of his salary. Ho, In his llfo, lived In all circles, moved In every grodo of society, ami enjoyed it all equally wolL To his present companions in every station ho was cjually entertaining nnd equally happy. Ho was tho most Inqutsltlvo man I havo over known. Traveling tho circuit, ho would porhnn sit with tho driver nnd before wo got to our Journey's end ho would know all tho driver know. If wo stopped at n crossroad blacksmith shop ho would sit by tho black smith ovor his forgo and lenni how to inako nails. Walking along tho sldowalk of a coun try town ho would soo a now agricultural Im plement set out on tho walk, ho would stop and, beforo leaving, learn "hat it would do, how it would do It, aud what It was an Im provement upon. Ho U tho only man I havo ovor known who bridged back from middlo ago to youth and learned to spell woll Mr. Lincoln's manuscripts aro as froo from mis takes us any collogo graduate's. I havo soon him upon tho circuit with a geometry or as tronomy and othor clomontary books, learn ing In middlo ago what men ordinarily learn In youth. I remember a scono I onco witnessed at Bar nott's Tavern, nt Clinton, at a session nf tho circuit court. Lincoln had n geometry which ho was carrying nnd studying In lolsuro mo ments. Ono tlmo ho wus sitting on tho side walk near tho building nnd had Just got tho point of a nlco demonstration of a proKt.ltion In hlsgeomotry, and, wanting somo ono to enjoy tho point of tho demonstration ho solzod upon n hostler nud oxplaluod to him tho demonstration until tho hostler said bo under stood lu A LAWYER'S MANEUVER. How Mr. Lincoln Wus Squeezed Out of a Case. CoL J. IL Wlckizor, now of Chicago, but for many years manager of tho United States malls for Utah, Montana nud Idaho, was long quoted as tho only lawyer of tho Spring Hold circuit who outgonoralnd Abraham Lin coln in tho management of a case. "It was," says CoL Wlckizor, "docldodly tho worst caso I ovor handled, and my client was rather tho meanest neclineu of alleged manhood In tho circuit. Ho was tho son of a man who had grown rich by tho nccldont of getting to tho central section of Illinois at nn oarly day and locating n largo tract of land; tho population centered about him nnd his land bocamo very valuablo. Tho son grow up with tho Idea that bis money could do anything, uud so It was not necessary for him to make nn effort not oven to be a gontlo mnn. "Ho paid his addresses to n young woman of high character nud somo bonuty, who had to work for a living. Sho rejected him and ho circulated slanderous reports about her. It was simply atrocious; thoro wasn't a word to bo said for htm, but when suit was brought ngalnst him her paronte mado tho ralstnko of employing, bocauso thoy wanted to holp him, n young fellow who was set on practicing law, but had not a qualification for tho business. Seeing', however, that thoy had mado a mistako, thoy employed Lincoln as associate coun sel. Tho rulo of tho court than was thnt tho plain tlir bad tbo open ing and closing speech, and Mr. Lincoln, llndlnc LINCOLN OUTWITTED. that his collonguo was determined to have half tho tlmo, of course gavo tbo young fellow tho llrst speech. "It was plain as a plko stalf thnt If Abo Lincoln nddrcNsed that Jury of level headed old formers for ono hour, or ovon half an hour, beforo thoy went out, my cllont, tho slnndoror, was a ruined man. Tho plcturo Abo would havo drawn of tho 'xxr and vir tuous working guT and tho rich, coarw), vul gar libclor would have been simply terrific. That Jury would havo 'sized his pllo' and loft him barely enough to ay costs. But with all Ids astutanottt Abo had overlooked tho rulo of pleading, that If tho dofenso waived its right to reply, thoro could bo no second speech, nnd I know too well that nothing I could say would help my cllont. "Well, tho young lawyer ooncd for tho plalntills. Ilo maundered and mumbled, backed out nnd repeated himself, read long and dry decisions and botched his coso gen erally till everybody was tirod out and dis gusted. Tho Jury was yawning and all tho court attendants wero wishing for him to stop thoy wnutod to hoar Abe, Well, when ho sat down nnd everybody drew a breath of relief, I rot, and In tho fewust poslblo words waived my right to reply uud asked that the coso bo given to tho Jury "And It was dono, '1 hero was nothing elsa for tho court to do under tbo rulo. Lincoln looked tour for awhile, but tho humor of the thing boon brought him round. Tho Jury gavo tho girl fair dnmnges, but It was noth lug to hnt pooplo oxocted. And then, as a proper wind up, my mean spirited client kicked becuuM) I didn't 'inako u speech and try to do comalhln' for him.' He dldnt know, hadn't senso enough to know, that this was a case where silence was golden and tho gold into his ockot-." A SOUTHERN TRIBUTE. Prom Ueury W. Gnuljr's Address to the New Kngliuid Society. "Great typos, llko valuablo plants, are slow to flower and fruit. But from the union of theso colonists, from tho straightening of then purosea and tho crossing of their blood, slowly perfecting through a contury, camo he who stands as tbo tlrst typical Amorican, the llrst who comprehended within himself all tho strength and gontlenoss, all tho majesty and grace of this republic Abraham lin coin. He was Uo sum of Puritan and Cav alier, for in his ardont nature wero fused tbo virtues of both, and In tho depth of his great soul tho faults of both wero lost. Ho was greater than Puritan, greater than Cavalier, in that ho was American, and that In his homoly form were first gathered tho vast and thrilling forces of this Ideal government, charging It with such tremendous meaning and so elovatlng it above human suffering that martyrdom, though infamously aimed, camo as a fitting crown to a llfo consecrated from Its cradle to human liberty Let us, each cherishing bis traditions and honoring his fathers, build with reverent hands to tbo typo of this simple but subllmo life, hi which alitypes oro houored, and in tbo common glory we shall win as Americans there will be plenty and to spare for your forefathers and for nilne." Wouldn't Itara-aln for OBBco. V, While the convention that nominated Mr. Lincoln was in session he was somewhat nervous, but cool "I bavent one chance in five hundred," he would say to me. I was always'flgurlng out hi chances, and this day I banded the figures to him.
