Prom tho Indianapolis journal. It was my good foitune to be ac quainted with Lincoln personally be fore he was a candid Uo for piesldent. It was my privilege to take an active pait In his nomination ut Chicago. I had the honor to head the cleetoial ticket which was eliosen, and my name was flit called at the nieetlrg of tho electors. I cast the first Republican electciat vote th it Indiana gave for Abiaham Lincoln. This I leatd as tho greatest honor that has not coma to me. Indiana had taken nn active and Importnnt patt in Lincoln's nomi nation. As I remembci It, ours was the onlv state, outside of Illinois, tha,t on the first b'lllot ave a solid vote for Lincoln. He and his friends hid must giatcful appreciation of what Indlina had done nt the nominating conven tion and at the election Hon. Calnb H. Smith, of InJlana, had done most effective sctvlco In this and other states on the stump dining the hot and exciting campaign. Indlina vvnnlcd him to have a place In Mr. Lincoln's cabinet. Mi Smith and I1I1 friends selected Hen. C;.ius M. Allen, a f 1 lend of Mr. Lincoln's, nnd an eleo tot from the Dist cougic-ston il dls tilct, and mvsi'lf to go to Spilnglleld and see Mi, Lincoln In the interest of Mi. Smith. Mi. Lincoln gave us a most intdlal leeeption. Wo had a free and Infor mal talk with him, not only In regatd to Mr. Smith, but about the almmlnr? condition of tho countiy, In view ot the piespect of n dissolution nf tho Union' The nipctlng was entlirly ln foimnl. An thing forninl would be the veiy acme ot awkwaidness In the presence and In 1 onvcis itlon with Lin coln. He made u wiKnnie, and there was no cmbaiiassmcnt. He knew we did not come to Intel vl v him for pub lication He felt that. ve would ask no promises or pledges out of him. Rut when the vhlt was ovei vo weie con fident that Smith would bo appoints, and so told him when v.e returned. He was made secietary of the Interior de paitinent. AN UDITOR'S VISIT. While we weie at Mi. Lincoln's house a caid was brought Into him on which was the name of the editor ot the lead ing newspapei In the state of New Hanipshlie. 1 do not now 11 call the name. He was usheied into the pjclor wheie we weie. He was a veiy t.i" man, bony and slender. He had a mo-.t solemn countenance. He impressed mi nt once as a man who had nevet had any fun, and did not cue to hive. He woic a veiy wide white ctavnt, which came up to his eats and was wiapped round and round his neck. His coat was buttoned up to his chin. He looked mote like a pilest than nn edltoi. lis was evidently taking himself nnd his life very seriously. He commenced a very stiff and foimal bowing when In the piesence of his host, hut that was not Lincoln's way. He went to him, seized his hunt nnd shook It In lml Hoosler stle, nnd gave him tho heavi est welcome. The editor never nilied or seemed to ippieclate the Imaitlness of thegreetlng. Theentlre lack of for mality. Instead of thawing him our, seemed to freeze him. He and Lin coln stood facing each othei, and the fmmer said to his visitor: "Why, my Yankee ft lend, you ate ns tall as I ant. Let us put back to back and meas 111 e." Reluctantly, tho editor compiled and I was called nn to uniplie the match, which I did hy putting a larga book on their heads, which showe-l that Lincoln was the taller of tho two. Mi. Allen and myself weie intioduced to the stranger. When we weie all seated we gave the edltoi the entli. attention of his host, nnd Allen and I dropped out of tho convocation. INQUIRIES RAFFLUD As I s-ald before, It had become al most a certainty tint most of the southern states would secede and foim a confedei.iey of their dwn, and theie was, of ionise, intense Inletest an! aulcty to know whit comse Mr. Lin coln Intended to puisne wether he would attempt, ns ehlcf executive, to coerce these rebellious states with tlu army and navy or would attempt to heal up the trouble by some soit nf concession or compromise, Mr. Lin coln had told us that he would form no policy, but would be governed by the clnuinstnnces existing at tho Urn- ho took the oith of office. It soon Income evident ns we listened to the convocation that the editor had come a thousand miles to get enough out of the piesldent-clect to form a policy for him, and so proclaim, even If Lincoln had fonncd none for him self. Tho editor wns veiy shaip nn3 shiewei; and exceedingly nrtful In at tempting to covrr tils :eal motive In the Interview. He had manifestly un derrated tho nblllty or Llmoln. Ho had carefully piepareel his tactics, nn 1 wns following his plan to got the mind of the prifcldent-elcct on the absoiblng question ot tho day. The fencing of Lincoln was beautiful nnd eff-rtlvo. The president-elect was Intensely in terested In all the editor said, nnd tools his full share In the conversation. It was clear that he saw perfectly what the editor was after. Hut he gave no sign of impatience with him. After an hour's struggle the editor abandoned tho Indirect method a's hopeless. All his hypothetical easei had been falluies. Hln suppositions had hroiiRht hln nothing. Uo finally put the direct question: "Do you think.

He slid a farmer's team in that neighborhood ran off and thtew tho farmer out anl wounded him in the bow els.

Wesley Rales, who Is just bick from a tilp to Chicago, tells a good stoiv which a Unvoting man he met on his trip told him, of how a tramp, hy working an entliely new tclieine, suc ceeded In beating his wa into Chicago on a fast tialn. The Uav cling man savs tint while he was bulug a ticket foi Chliago nt a station not far from the i Ity he ob seived the ti.nnp In question standing near him at the ticket window listen ing to the woieis that passed between him nnd the ticket agent. Ills ticket cost $0')0. After he had sit down In the waiting loom of the depot the tramp came nver to him and said: "Aie you going to Chicago?" "Yes," was the icply. "Well, I am going to Chicago, too. Let me see your tli ket. The tiav cling man handed him tho ticket. The tinmp glanced over It. "Yes," ho said, "that Is Just like mine. I wonder If the agent gave mo the right change. I gave him ?20." Hete he turned the cnrdboaid over and wrote the llguies on the back of It. "My ticket should have cost mo the same as nurs" wilting $0.50 and tho other flguies under It), "and I should have leeelved 111 ".n" (performing the opeintlon of subtraction). "Yes," he continued, ns he handed back tho tick et and turned away: "I guess that's all light." When the train started the traveling man was In a front coich and tho tinmp In n renr one. In n few minutes the conductor came along. "Here," ho said, nddiesslug the tramp, "wheie's jour ticket?" "I've given It to ou alieaely," was tho response, "No, you haven't either. I haven't seen you before." "But I tell you I have given you my ticket, and I can Identify It. When I paid tho agent I did some figuring on tho back of It to see whether he had given mo the right change. If you find among the tickets you have taken up one on the back of which ?6 50 has been subtracted from $20, that's mine. Conductor shoves his hand Into his cnpaclous pocket nnd draws fotth a bunch nf tickets, the back of which ho carefully scrutinises.
