* urement. an Informal Reception Lincoln About twice a week, atter the of- | ficial and other priviledged visitors hed taken their departure. the doors | ofthe president’s reception room | would be thrown open to whosoever might be waiting without. Happen- ing to be there on one of these occa- sions, I entered with a score of these expectant. ; and curious to observe the character and process of this 1n- i formal audience given to the people, I stationed myselt in a corner near the president, where I could see and hear all that was going on. The notes referred to were jotted down soon after the interview. President Lincoln’s appearance 1s too well known to need particular description. The tall, thin, wiry form, which no burdens seemed able to bend, and no amount of labor to deprive ot elasticity ; the calm, ‘rug- ged, honest tave, grave and deeply melancholy when in repose, yet want to be lighted up under the in- fluence of some humorous sally— these are familiar to the} world. He was clad plainly, but becomingly, in a black breadcloth suit, nothing in all his dress betokening disregard ot conventtonality, save, perhaps, his neat cleth slippers, which were doubtless worn for comfort. He was seated beside a plain cloth-covered table, in a commodieus arm-chair. When this visitor had withdrawn, an immense specimen of a mar. pre- sented himself. Broad-shouldered, robust with thews and sinews to match his great height, and withal an honest, good-natured countenance— all seemed to mark him as belonging to the hardy yeomanry ot the West. He sidled up awkardly to the presi- dent, seeming almost afraid to ac- cost him, but after some hesitation contrived to say, that heing on a vis- ‘it to’ Washington, he simply wanted before leaving to see the president, and have the honor of shaking hands with him. He found a kindly re- ception, and after some introductory civ’ Mr. Lincoln ran his curiously over his huge caller, sur- veying him from head to foot, and then saying with «a humorous look and accent it would be hard to de- ibe, *I rather thmkyou have a little the advantage of mein height; you are a taller man than [ am.’’ “IT guess not, Mr. President,’’ re- plied the visitor; with the selt-al-ne- gating air of one who seemed to_re- gard any claim on his part, of pos- sessing an advantage over the Cnief Magistrate, as an offense httle short of treason—‘the advantage cannot be on my side.”’ “Yes, it is,”’ was the rejoinder, ‘‘I have a pretty good eye for distances, and I think Lean’t be mistaken in the tact of the advantage being slight- ly with you. I measure six feet three and a halt inches in my _ stockings, and you go, I think, a litde beyond that.’” The man stili demurred, insisting very respecttully that the precedence in the matter lay on the president’s side. “It is very easily tested,’ said the President, and rising briskly from his chair and taking a book from the table, he placed it edgewise against the wall, just higher than his head. Then turning to his competitor for the nonce, he bade him y*tcome_un- der.”” ‘This the man did not do at once, pausing, with flushed tace and irresolute look, as if not arn how ilities, eye far he might trust the lien in- his playtul mood—his countenance the while wearing a bewilldered, _ hali- frightend, and yet halt smiling ex- Dression that was really comical to séc. ¥ ‘““Coime under, E say,” repeated the President, m a more peremptory fone, and the visitor slowly com- Dlied. - ‘‘Now yourself up, and move your head this way," suiting the action to the word. This being done, Mr. Lincoln add- ed. ‘*Now you hold the book, and be sure not to let it shp down a hair- bredth, and I wil. try.”? - Planting humself accordingly underneath the book. and moving his head from right to left, it was found that he sell trifle short of the other’s sePhere,”” | as Ttold you, I knew I couldn't be j mistaken.

To the query, the Intelligencer replies as follows, and in so doing pays a neat comph- ment to one of the finest journalists and bes: printers im the State: friend of are only sur- **The above is from a Maj. Edwards. and w prised that anyone can know him at all and not know that he is a prac- tical printer. Maj. Edwards came to Lexington when quite young, | already a practical printer. He worked here several years as a com- positor on the Expositor Mr. Wm. Neet, who isnow a compositor in this office, working with him. “He quitted his trade fora short time once, but soon returned to it. Mr. W. G. Musgrove, one of tne pro- prietors ot this paper, did his first work as a journeyman in the old Expositor office when Maj. Ed- wards was foreman, he having held that position then for some time, and continued todo so upto the war, when he went into the army, and, is generally known, servea with distinction on Gen. J. B. Shel- by’s staff. When Mr. Neet was asked 1f Maj. Edwards was a prac- tical printer, his exclamation was, ‘¢Well, I should think so, and a good one tvo!’’ ‘Inquirer’ can find abundance of testimony to the j fact that Maj. Edwards has spent a | lite time in the newspaper business first as a compositor, i | as tore man ot one of the then best ap- pointed offices in Missour:, and for some yeais as a brilliant and foret- ble writer. In this, the home of his early manhood, has the good wishes of all who know him.’’ next Wild People of the Idaho Backwoods From the Territorial Enterprise. In the ‘backwoods’? region of Idaho are many peopie, ‘‘born and | raised’”’ in the wilds, who have never | seen either a railroad or a steam- boat. Since railreads have been penetrating toward — their fastnesses they have heard such wonderful things about the locomotives jump- ing off the tracks and killing people that it 1s hard to get a native near a train. In order to get them aboard atrain it 1s necessary to blindfold them, the same as mules and horses are blinded when they are taken in- to dangerous places. Even when they are aboard a train it is necessa- ry to watch them closely to prevent them jumping out of the windows when a locomouve blows tts whis- (| A Recipe for Beauty.
