Photographs of Lincoln
When It Is remembered that Abra
ham Lincoln was nut what might bo
ailed a handsome or even good look
ing man, In the popular acceptance of
the term, and that he lived tu a period
when pholography was In its Infancy.
It la surprising how many times he
must havo posed for the camera art twt
during the seventeen years or his ac
tive public life. He must have yield
ed with great good nature to the ap
plications for Kitting from photog
raphers. Every now and then a new
"unknown" photograph of Lincoln is
turning up in sonic old ulbum or store
room, and although the number Is al
ready large, It is hard to tell If they
have yet all been found.
While the photographer was busy
recording on the sensitive plate the
iniak.e of his distinguished subject, the
engraver was not Idle, and as a result
there arc over 2t)0 different engraved
portraits of Lincoln known to col
lectors. Many of these pictures are,
however, hardly worthy of considera
tion, as they are reully hut poor
ropies, with Home slight change in
costume or pose, from celebrated orig
inals. The wide Held of Lincoln portraiture
really offers an Interesting opportunity
for the careful study of his facial ap
pearance at different periods of his
active career. Particularly Is this
true since the recent' discovery of
several early portraits of Mr. Lincoln
Llixroirj iq iCD'f : tVOrr f f
'hich fill a gap and satisfy curiosity
as to bis appearance at the start of
Ins career.
illobort T. Lincoln owns what is
tirolmbly tho earliest portrait of his
lather. It Is an old daguerreotype,
taken about 1S48. probably at Wash
ington, when Lincoln was serving his
only term in congress. This portrait
is but slightly suggestive of the Lin--oln
of later life. Tho counteuanee.
It lias been remarked, Is "rather that
of a poet than that of a statesman."
and not a few of those who have been
permitted to examine It have been
impressed with tho striking resem
blance it b.ors to the face of Knier
son. One uf the earliest photographs of
Uncoln was owned by Geo. Schneider
of Chicago, former editor of the
Slaats gritting, ono of the most In
fluential nntlslnvery newspapers in
the west. In 18'i4 Mr. Lincoln was In
Chicago airtt Mr. Isaac N. Arnold, a
prominent jmlltlclau and lawyer of
Illinois, Invited Mr. Schneider to dine
with Lincoln. After dinner, as tho
gentlemen were going downtown, they
stopped at an Itinerant photograph
It was Abraham Lincoln's rule to
receive callers nt the White House
from 9 until 2 o'cUxk. except on days
when the cabinet met. It was a rule,
however, more honored in the breach
than In the observance. VlsHort

I Ale In the day. when the weather
and his duties permitted, he drove out
for an hour's airing. Almost Invaria
bly, some camp or hospital was the
objective point or the day's ride. He
was from the first the personal friend
of every soldier he sent to the front,
and from the first, also, every soldier
seemed to divine, as If by Intuition,
that he ba Mr. Lincoln's heart.

wafion and Mr. Lincoln had bis picture
taken.
A curious contradiction, indeed. Is
the Lincoln of thU photograph to the
Lincoln in the popular mind. Ho was
then alxmt 45 years of aso and had
probaldy not lost what youthful vanity
he once possessed. Instead of beiug
rough and devoid of fashion, his cos
tume Is almost that of an exquisite,
while his form, if stiff, is neither awk
ward nor ungainly. The pose i even
graceful. His lace Is Jut beginning
to show a few lines, but his counte
nance is entirely devoid of the cure
worn expression of later life, yet it Is
full of Intelligence.
In the collection of Lincoln portraits
owned by Justice James T. Mitchell of
the Supreme court of Pennsylvania Is
an old ambrotype of Lincoln. Here
tofore, it is believed, unpublisheu.
Ttit:: picture Is full of interest, as it
was taken just before the fatuous de
bate between Douglas and Lincoln.
Lincoln was 49 years of age when
this old ambrotype was made. Only
four years older than when the Chi
cago photograph just mentioned was
taken, and yet the change in his ai
pearanco is most striking. One would
say he had aged ten years at least.
The lines on the face have multiplied
and deepened, while the gentle ex
pression of the poet has been utterly
dissolved Into one of calm, uubending
determination. The rising country

Another recently discovered and
exceedingly rare portrait of Lincoln
made at about the time of the Doug
las debnte was engraved by an tin
ktKiwn .artist In Philadelphia. It is
one of tho few full length pictures of
Lincoln that Is not a caricature, and Is
Interesting from this point of view
alone. The future president is stand
ing with one arm resting on a table on
which manuscript Is exposed. It Is
presumed that he Is pictured In the
act of debating with Douglas.
His eostume, while not suggesting
the dandy, is at the same time in good
taste and thoroughly In the mode of
the period. Indeed, mine of Lincoln's
authentJt: pictures suggest the outland
ish gnrbs in which he is pictured for
some reason or other in the popular
mind. Perhaps because so shown by
the average cartoonist.

the White House became a sight too
familiar to cause remark. None de

kind, nnd In all part of the country
little cards nro treasured by private
soldiers, each of which bears w lines)
to some kindly act performed or re
quested by the President. One of them
reads:

public comment. It seems a pity that
he ever thus disfigured himself, as his
beard. Instead of Improving his ap
pearance, hid his strong chin and also
added to the alrmjst distressed e?:prea
slon which his face constantly wore
while In repose in later life.
Justice Mttch?U has in his collec
tion two other interesting portraits of
Lincoln. One Is a.i Idealized bust, now
but little known. It was executed by
John Sartain, the noted engraver, dur
ing the presidency of the great liber
ator. The engraver, being a great
admirer of Lincoln, took all the pains
of the retoucher to present the none
too handsome countenance of the
President in the most attractive man
ner possible. All the lines in his face
ttre gone, as well ns the hollow and
careworn expression. His beard is
carefully combed and hair neatly ar
ranged. In brief, the engraver has
done all in his power to beautify the
subject, but the result, from tho stand
point of a likeness, is unsatisfactory
and the picture Is principally Interest
ing as a curiosity.
The other picture is along the same
lines. It tdiows the head and bust of
Lincoln. It is the work of an unknown
Italian artist and bears the inscrip
tion: "Abronmo Lincoln. Prosidento
Delia Uepublica Degll Statl Unlto
D'Amorlea." As the only known like-
ness of Uncoln published In Italy, the
picture is not without Interest.
LINCOLN AND THE KITTENS.
Great President Found Time to Min
ister to Waifs.
On one occasion when President
Lincoln visited Gen. Grant, Jen. Por
ter, who was Gen. Grunt's secretary
at the time, says that "three tiny
kittens were crawling about the tent.
The mother had died, and the Utile
wanderers were expressing their grief
by mewing plteously. Mr. Lincoln
picked them up, took them on his lap,
stroked their soft fur and murmured:
'Poor little creatures, you'll bo tnken
care of,' nnd turning to Dower?, said:
'I hope you will see that these little
motherless waifs are given plenty of
milk and treated kindly.' Howers re
plied: 'I will see, Mr. President, thnt
they are taken In charge by tho cook
of our mess and are well rnred for.'
Several times during his stay Mr.
Lincoln was found fondling these kit
tens. It was a curious Bight at an

Why the Lord Made So Many.
In Lincoln's lips, the words that
often came were these "The common
people." To those who lived with him
and talked with him, especially dur
ing the Civil War, it seemed as if he
could never cease thinking of those
who were just human beings, unlet'
tered, unknown, inglorious. A Con
gressman from a Western district ap
proached him during his term as Pres
ident. and apologized for presenting a
petition from his constituents, becaust
they were very common people.
"Well," said I.iucoln, pleasantly,
"Cod must love the common people,
He's made so many of 'em." Success.

Not long ago a mate on a ship was
arrested for smuggling. When he was
released he was ordered to submit to
the test or bo expelled from tho coun
try. It was found that his father was
a German and his mother a native of
Egypt. Ho was born in Alexandria.
It was decided, however, that his na
