Iogersoll on Lincoln. Col. Rohmt O. Ingoroll lately tie liveicl a lecture n Abraham Lin coln, at the N. V. r.roiulwiiy theatre. After briefly tr.inmiariintr the event leafing np to Civil War, Col. Ing.'roll went on to suy : Tho HymimtliicH of Lincoln, his tics of kindred wero with tho Hoiith. Hit ponvictioim.'liin sonno of justice an.l Ii'ih ideals were, with thn North. Lincoln wumu statesman. Ami there i n great diflVreneo between n politician nnd a HtiiteHinan; a poli tician Hellenics in every way to make tho people do hoinethiug for hini, statesman wnho to do something for the people.. With him place mi. power : ic a in:ins to attain an enc' an.l the i ml h the gon.1 ,,f conn try. It in not a common thing to elect really great men to fill tho highest official position. I do not way that tliu meat Presidenti havo been ehoH ou by ftcciih.iit. l'eihaps it would be better to say they were the favor ites of a happy chance. The average man is afraid of ceu ins. lie feels as an awkward man feds in the presence of a sleight-of-hand pel foi iner. biiires and (inspects. Cn iiius appears to carry too much sail - licks pru.h'iice; has too much ci 'tirade. The ballast of dullness inspires eoutideuce. 15y a happy chance- Lincoln was nom inated and electeil in spite of his fitness, and tin' patient, gentle, just, in 1 1 . in ; in in was c ill" 1 upon to bc.ir u c.vat a bir.l"ii as tii.ui has Ver bol lii'. After tin' proclamation of eman cipation was signed Lincoln held it, waiting for some gnat victory bo fore civiu it to the world, so that it mi'lit appear to be the child of Mrcngt h. This was on the 'J'Jnd day ef .July, ls.".J. Lincoln wrote his celebrated letter to lloraoo Oreclyin which In- stated that his object '.was to ave tin' Union; that ho 'would save it with slavery if he could ; that if it was necessary to destroy slavery in order to s ive the Union ho would in other words, ho would do what win necessary t j savo the Union: This letter disheartened, to a do- , 1 1 1 ' a 1 gr ee, tuousanils aim millions oi me friends of freedom. They felt that Mr. Lincoln had not attained tho moral height upon which they nup posed ho had stood. And yet when this letter was written, the euiauei p.ttior, pi oclamation was in his t;.i'T;..r.71 had oeeli lor thirty uay, waiting only an opportunity to give it to tho world. On the '.'.'iid day of September, ls'2. t he iiioj.1 glorious date in Lis t.)i,v 1 1 thi.' Lcpiiblic, tho proclama tion of einaucipatioii was issued. Lincoln had reached the general ization upon the question of slavery and freedom a ceiieralizat ion that neer has been, and plodably never will be excelled. "In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the fie..." Colonel Iugersoll's lecture was long, aud abounded in bright and tlonucnt sayings. Speaking of Lin coln's character, he said : Lincoln was not u type. He stands aloue no ancestors, no fellows, and no successors. Ho was a many aided man, acquainted with smiles and tuars, complex iu brain, single in heart, direct as light, and his words, candid as mirrors, gave the perfect image of bis thought. He w as n i afraid to ak nay, never too dig..ilied t ) admit that he did not kuow. No man had a keener wit or kinder humor. He was not boleiun. .Solemnity is a mask worn by ignorance and hypocrisy. It is the preface, prologue and index to the cunning or Kt lipid. He was natural in his hfo and thought, mas ter of thw siory teller's art, iu Illus tration apt, in application pufect, liberal iu speech, shocking prude", using uuy wurd that wit could dis infect. He was an orator clear, sine-re, natural. He did not pre tend. He .lid not say what he thought others thought, but what he thought. Il you win'u to bo sublimu you must bo uatural you must keep close to the gi u-.s. Vo l ujo-it sit by the ti reside of the heart ; above the j doud- it it loo cold. You must Lusj simple iu your speech ; Ioj much polish suggests insincerity. Kel. ning to Line Au' gentleness. Col. Ing-.rsoll said : Men submitted to him us they sub.iiit to nature uucouseiout-ly. ile wai seveii: with himself, and for that reason lenient with others. He appeared to apologize for being kinder than his followers. He did most things as stealthily as other's couiniito 1 crimen. Almost ashamed of tcndernosH, ho said and did the noblest words and deeds with 'that chiiTming confusion, that awkward ness that is tho pel feet grace of mod .hty a great inau stooping, uot wishing to muko his fellows foil that .wero small or mean. By his candor, by his kindness, by his per foot freedom from restraint. by saying what ha thought, Mid say ing it absolutely in hU own way, he made it not only possible, but pop ular to be natural. He was the enemy of mock solomnity, of tho stupidly rospactable, of tho cold and formal. At other points in his locture tho orator said : Lincoln had the uuconscioii na turalness of nature's nclf. Through manners, clothes, titles, rags and race ho saw tho real that which is. Beyond accident, policy, compromise and war ho saw tho end. He was patient as destiny, whoso undecipherable hyroglphicsy were so deeply graven on his sad and tragic face Nothing dis closes real character like tho use of power. It is easy for tho weak to bo gentle. Most people can bear ad versity i but if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is tho supremo test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy. Colonel Ingersoll concluded his or ation as follows : Wealth could not purchase, power could not awe this divine, this lov ing man. He knew no fear except tho fear of doing wroug. Hating slavery, pitying tho master seeking to conquer, not persons, but pre judices ho was the embodiment of self denial, tho courage, tho hope and tho nobility of a nation. He snoke not to iullame, not to upbraid, but to convince. Ho raised his hand, not to strike but in bono diction. He loved to seo tho pearls of joy on tho cheeks of n wifo whoso husband ho had rescued from death Lincoln was tho grandest figure of tho fiercest civil war. He is tho gentlest memory of our world. ft CME BLACKING h cheaper at :o cents a bottle than any other Dressing at 5 cents.
