On their sad, lonely faces arc words ot fame, nut none of them speak of his glory; When tho pioneer died, his namo and his age, No monumont whispered tho story.

A Hitherto Unpublished Portrait of the Great '.m incipitur. Tho portrait of Abraham Lincoln giv en herewith has never been published. Though it has a State reputation In Indiana, It had never been seen In Chi cago until last year when It was used as principal decoration at tho Lincoln ban quet of the Mai quette club at tlio uranu Pacific Hotel. It Is called the "Justice" plctuic, from tho name of Its owner. James M. Justice. Mr. Justice died at his homo In Logansport, Ind., In 1S89, and tho portrait was left by will to hlR daughters, Mrs. A. G. Patterson and Miss Malbclle Justice, who now ies!de In Chicago. Mr. Justice's death was sudden and he left no written iccord ot the history ot the picture.

It va twice cantured and recaptured. When locaptured it had a bullot hole through tho forehead and had been slashed by knives. It was captured a third time, and Mr. Justice lost track of It for several years. Ho was dctor- of tho convention, but they must obey orders from home. This caused a bensatlon, and growls of disapproval arose from all parts of tho convention: for it was evident tnai this unfortunate complication might prevent a unanimous! vote for Lincoln, Tho Missouri delegates, it should bo un derstood, had been chosen many weeks befoio the nomination of Lincoln be came Inevitable. There never was any recall of the Instructions given at u. time when It was apparently among tho possibilities that another than Lin coln might be the nominee of tho Na tional convention. When tho clerk of the convention an nounced the result of tho roll-call, it was found thnt Abraham Lincoln had 507 votes nnd U. S. Grant 22 tos. Thereupon Mr. Hume, chairman of the Missouri delegation, Immediately moved that tho nomination be declared unani mous. This was done. Straightway the long pent-up enthusiasm burst forth In a scene ot tho wildest confusion. Men hurrahed, umbiaced one another, throw up their hats, danced in the aisles or on tho platform, jumped on tho benches, waved flags, yelled, and committed every possible extravagance i to demonstrate the exuberance ot their jov. Ono of tho most comical bights which I beheld vvua that of Hornco Maynurd and Henry J. itajmond al ternately hugging each other and shak ing hands, apparently unnble to utter a word, so full of emotion were thoy. And when tho big biass baud burst out with "Hall Columbia!" the racket was so Intolerable that I Involuntarily looked up to see If the roof of tho thea ter were not lifted by the volume of sound. When quiet was restored and other business was about to be re sumed, the band again struck up "Yankee Doodle" in its liveliest man ner, and nnother torrent of enthusi asm broko forth: and it was a long time before the excltod nnd jubilant assemblage could be qulotod down and order restored.
