Lincoln was merely an attor ucy, waiting for one of his cases to lie culled, when the Incident occurred. Ex Senator Blackburn was only 20 years old when he begun the practice of law, having graduated at Centre col lege, Danville, Ky His tlrsf. case was in the United .States court in Chicago, presided over by Justice John McJaan, then on the circuit Tim opposing coun sel was Isaac N.

Young Blackburn hail filed a demurrer to Mr. Arnold’s pleadings in (he cause, anil when the case was reached on the calendar the young Kentuckian wan quite nervous at having sueii a formida ( hie and cxjierieuoeil antagonist, while the dignity of the tribunal and the pros ! euco of a largo number of eminent law - i yers in court served to increase liis ti , midity and embarrassment. In truth the stripling barrister was willing to have ’ any disposition made of tie- cause in order to get rid of the burden of em barrassment and "stage fright.,” lie was ready to adopt any suggestion the op - jiosing counsel should make. Arnold made an argument in which he criticised tlx- demurrer in a manner ! thut increased the young lawyer’s con i fusion However, Blackburn knew he i had to make some kind of an effort. Hi. proceeded with a few remarks, weak and Imwi'do- mg, and was about to sif l down wlien a full, homely, loose joint I ed mau sitting in the bur arose and ad dressed the court in behalf of the posi r tion the young Kentuckian had assumed r in a feeble and tangled argument, mak , ing the points so clear that the court sustained the demurrer * Blackburn did not know who his vol i uuteer friend was, and Mr. Arnold got 5 up und sought to rebuke the lutter foi attempting to interfere in the case, i which ho had nothing to do with. Thit 3 volunteer was none other than Abrahun , Lincoln, anil this was the first and lasl time the Kentuckian ever saw the rail 1 splitting president. In replying to Mr. 1 Arnold's strictures Mr. Lincoln said he claimed the privilege or giving a young lawyer a helping hand when struggling " with his first case, especially when he p was pitted against an experienced prac j titiouer.—Chicago Times-HeralcL j Electricity and lialky Hornet*. j One of the recent extensions of the use of electricity is in conquering i • balky or lazy horses.
