IlEr..l.lipeoin'a Early Life. rCorreepoadence of the Chloago Republican.] •HAVANA, Mason Co., 111., Dec. 14, I.B6s:—Happening to in the eastern portion of the county a few days ago, I dalled to see .a Mrs. Wilcox, formerly Mrs. Armstrong. Years ago, when thin goodly State'of ours , Was comparatively new, there came to the • little village of Salem, Menard county, a tall, plain and rather awkward young man to help in the mill; tend store, and make himself generally useful. After serving in this capacity for some time, and making friends of all who came in contact-with him, at mill or grocery,he was appointed County Surveyor, and went to live with a farmer named Armstrong, residing in the neighborhood. This Mrs. Wilcox Whom I went to see was the wife of this Armstrong, and the slender, raw-boned 'shop tender and surveyor was Abraham Lincoln. "The first time I ever saw him," said Mrs. W., "I went trading. I told Arm strong as soon Es I got home there was a new clerk at the store, and I liked him first rate, he was so pleasant and kind. A few days afterward Armstrong went to mill, and when he came home he told me he had seen the new clerk I bragged about so much, and he liked him too. They had got to lifting in the mill, a parcel of them, and the clerk oatlifted every man there." "Well, he lived with you, did he not, afterward?" "Yes; as soon as he got to surveying he came to our house and made it his home. I made' two pairs of deer-skin breeches for him—shirts, too. Arm strong used to carry chain for him. They were great cronies. Wherever Arm strong went Lincoln would go too. He was poor and had no horse; we had several, and he always rode one of our creatures. Sometimes they would be gone a week at a time to Jacksonville, Springfield; or somewhere else. They lied about him when he was nominated for President; and said he used to drink; but he never did. I never saw or heard of his drinking. The young folks thought him kind of queer. When there was a frolic, or any doings among them, he would always go,but never danced and cut up. He amused himself by playing with the children, or telling some funny story to the old folks. Yes, he staid with us till we moved to Missouri, and I never saw him angry the whole time. He used to say he would never marry until he could support a wife com fortably; and he didn't. We lived in Missouri five years, and when we came back he had gone to Springfield. I went down there trading pretty soon, and was standing in a store door looking at the folks, wen I saw him coming down the street. A lady was with him, his wife,and everybody was bowing and shaking hands with him. I stood up straight in the door, a little back like, thinking maybe he would not want to see me, with his wife and all those people around; I never could put on any airs, and he knew it. He saw me, though; before he got to me, and came up laughing and shaking hands, real glad to see me; asking after Armstrong and all the rest, just as if he was one of the family. I tell you, Mr. F., he was a kind, good-hearted man, and a true gentleman. He defended my son, (her son was tried for homicide, and ac quitted), and after the trial, when I told him I had no money to pay him, he laughed at me, and told me whenever I was in any trouble to come to him. Everybody told me I was foolish to write to him about my son, who was sick in the army; that he had enough else to attend to now, besides looking after me and my family. But when a telegraphic despatch discharging my son, and a letter to me too, came, they found out that he had not forgotten his old home down in Menard." ban Francisco—lts Hotels—Excitements, de. de. A letter from San Francisco, says: Taken all in all San Francisco is a great place. We go the entire animal in all things; raising the biggest beets and trees and turnips, the fastest women and horses, and the biggest excitements that can be found in the world. Straw berries are so large that it quite compen sates for the slight drawback of their being wholly without flavor, and we we have them all the year round. We have larger hotels and more of them than and other city of our popula tion possesses. The Occidental, Cosmo politan and Lick Houses are immense, and all crowded. The Occidental, by the way, is owned and occupied by Lewis Leland, whom you will remem ber as a pleasant faced, sweet-voiced boy, long a clerk in your Metropolitan, where his uncles have had furnished apartments for some time, I believe. I used to climb to the upper floors of that caravansary once and a while, merely to hear him calling "Chambermaid! Cham bermaid!" through the hall, his voice reminding one of a silver flute. In the matter of accidents, too, we get them up on a scale which nothing on the Atlan tic side can equal. Horses are never hitched, but kept standing in the street, and, as a natural consequence, we have an occasional runaway. I should feel quite dull if a day passed Without a horse and buggy or two charging by my win dow like a regiment of cavalry. Last week, however, the climax of runaways was reached, and I saw the.whole of it. A buggy and a pair of horses came down Burk street like a shot from a ritted gun, striking one of the city cars squarely on the side, and going fairly through it, leaving very little of the car but the wheels. It was beautifully done. As a lesson in the force of projectiles, I do not think it could be improved upon. There being very few people in the car,no fatal casualty occurred, a lady passenger only having a thigh and both legs broken, and her collar bone dislocated. As the horses have acquired for themselves a local reputation by having twice run away before, I look for a repetition of the experiment with better results. On a previous occasion they killed a little boy, and I should not be surprised if they furnished several excellent subjects for obituary notices by their demonstra tion. When Colfax was out here we got up a little battue for his benefit, and succeeded in killing three men between sun and sun—and a bad day for men at that. Billy Mulligan killed the men and then killed himself. A fairer, squarer fight is seldom seen. He en sconced himself in a house and fired at, every one who passed, every one return ing the compliment by firing at him. I witnessed the whole affair, and wrote the TinieB a full account of it, which the Indians on the overland route were pro bably highly entertained with, as the letter never got even as far as Mormon dem. Our scandals are magnificent, too. riiF. DAILY EVENING- BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA. THURSDAY. DECEMBEit 21,' 1866.---TRIPLE SHEET. When a woman goes wrong her imme diate relatives generally take pleasure in making the slip public, and it becomes the immediate topic of conversation on street corners. An eminent pianist was made to suffer in consequence of our not doing these things as well as they are done in rrance. He received an. invita tion to take some young ladies out buggy riding—the note was anonymously signed, and the thing looked like an adventure. 'He, with a companion, repaired to the trysting-place at the ap pointed time. It was 10 or 11 at night, the young ladies were there, and a moonlight carriage-ride, and a supper was the result. Unfortunately, how ever, the young ladies were inmates of a female college, and their absence from their rooms was discovered by the reverend principal, who ascertained that they had made their escape from the window.' With eminent discretion, the whole house was informed of the phe nomenon, and the principal sat up and watched the window until their return. It is natural that a principal should take an interest in the reputation of his school, and I suppose he asked them . where they had been, and_represented to them that windows were - not the recognized means of ingress for the regular members of the establishinent— being reserved for the egress of intrusive visitors. It would have been well, perhaps, to have kept the affair quiet for the sake of the girls who committed the indiscretion—for it seemed eventually to be determined that it was only indiscre tion—but no, the opportunity could not be lost. Sensations are no variety, but we can never spare one. So the whole affair was made public and trumpeted the wliole length and breadth of the coast.. I do not think there is a paper in the whole -country—if we except the Mud Springs Courier—which did not deliver itself of an editorial on the occasion. The male parties to the indis cretion got away on the first steamer, but those of the female persuasion were compelled to remain. And it must have been'very pleasant for the young ladies. The White Elephant of Siam. Sir John Bowring, in the Furtnighttll Rerictr, gives these elephantine items: "Elephants, especially white elephants, are all-important personages in Siam. In the multitudinous incarnations of Buddha, it is believed that the white elephant is one of his necessary domicils and the possession of a white elephant is the possession of the presence and pa tronage of the Deity. I was escorted by one of the great ministers of state to the domicil of the white elephant in Bang kok, whose death not many sears ago filled the court and nation with mourn ing. He had been discovered in the for ests of the interior; a large reward was paid to the fortunate discoverer,and the first king left his capital to meet with becoming ostentatious welcome and rev erence the newly-acquired treasure. In Siamese history there are litany chap ters giving an account of invasions and repulses in wars waged solely for the ac quisition of some white elephant in the possession of a neighboring sovereign. There are instances where two existed in the same capital, and when negotia tions failed for the acquisition of one by friendly surrender, the territory of the doubly-blessed monarch was violated, and the superfluous elephant demanded vi et armis. The court of Siam had been for some time unhonored by ,the pres ence and the patronage of a; , white ele phant. Elephants there were not wholly dark brown or pale black, with pendant ears of a • lighter color and spots on the skin, which showed some affinity to a purer and diviuerrace. These were adorned with rich jewels, attended by special servitors, accompa nied by =Sic when they left their stalls; but they became as nothing when the elephant of higher aristocracy, or rather of celestial genealogy, appeared. The King, on the'announcement of his capture, wrote to me in terms of high satisfaction at his good fortune. When he escorted his prize to his capital I was conducted to the palace of the honored dignitary; to say the truth, his color was not white, but coppery, like that of a red Indian. His stable was painted like a Parisian drawing room; there was an elevated platform, on whose adjacent walls handsome warlike ornaments were hung, and nobles of high rank were in attendance, who took care he should be supplien with delicious food, principally the young sugar cane. When the white elephant went to bathe, caparisoned in splendid decorations, he was preceded by musicians, escorted by courtiers, and was received by the people with prostra tion and reverence. On my departure from Bangkok, after the signature of the treaties, when the royal ltters were delivered engraved on golden slabs for the great Queen of England and placed in a gold box, locked with a gold key, though many handsome presents accom panied the royal missives one offering was placed in my hands with the as surance that it was by far the most pre cious of the gifts to be conveyed—and the invaluable offering was a bunch of hairs from the white elephant's tail tied together with a golden thread.g, Furs!
