Sketches of the Biographers and CGossip Abont Their Habita of Work, RESULT OF 18 YEARS LABOR. esting Things About Lincolnand tlis Relations With Private Sccretarics, I called upon Colonel John Hay to-day —writes Frank George Carpenter, the Washington correspondent of the Cleve- land Leader—and had a chat with him about the biography of Abraham Lincoln, which he and Mr. John G. Nicolay are writing, and tho first chapters of which are published in this month's Century Magazine. The publication of this bio- graphy is looked upon here as the liter- ary event of the wear. The close rela- tions of the biographers to the martyred president during the most eventful parts of his life, their high standing as literary men, the facilitios they have had for the preparation of the work, and the sixteon and more years during which they have almost been const ¢ engazed upon it, lead to the general belief that it will be the authentic and lasting Istory of the times of which it treats and the standard biography of the great and loved presi- dent who is its hero. + o' The biographe: Colonel John Hay and Mr. John G. Nicolay, are two of the most interesting characters of this city of rfeat wen. Both are in the prime of life, icolay being a little over fifty, and Hay five or six years younger. Boih have had long public carecrs, and the lives of both have run strangely close tozether Colonel Hay tells me he met Nicolay when he was a schoolboy, and when Nicolay was still under It W in Pittstield, Pike county, 1il. solay, who is of German descent, had come” as w child with his parents to Cincinnati, had attended the schools there, and was now beginning lite in 1llinois as a printer and editor.

At this time Hay had just been admitted to the bar, and he went along to see the inaugura- tion. He had no thought of any oflice, but during the few days he stopped in Washington Nicolay found that tho pres- ident's work, in the then busy times of 1861, was more than one man could do. President Lincoln asked Hay to st Nicolay, and he thus became ussistant private, secretary, and such remained at the White House during the whole of Lincoin's admimstration, with the exception of a few months when He served in the army as coloael and as- sistant adjutant general under Generals Hunter and Gilmor Hay was with President Lincoln at bis death, and after it both he and Nico tered the diplo- matic sery Both were first stationed at Paris, Nicolay as consul general and s _uncl During.

This went on for s, until at last man of numerous B! to the 1 disruises, but known s “Old Pateh,” was bolic This “Old Pateh™ was in re: Price, who had succecded m m own paper, his own copper plate murks and ink, and had manufactur pounds. “Old_ Pateh” was probabl most accomplished criminal on record, and his was one of the only even tem: porary “suceessiul” carcers of erime of uny duration. One of his last o alt chievements was the g of a £10 note to onc for £100 and robbing the bank of £10 by one stroke. Tmmvdiately after his arrest ho broug about his death by ms own hand whilst awaiting his trial, It was somewhat re- markable that none of his engraving nnd printing apparatus was ever discovered, In tho twenty years following 1797, when the first 1ssue of notes for £5 and other small amounts took place, no fe thun 870 prosecutions for forgery w pstituted by the bank of Engiand, the resuit being over three hundred execu- tions. In six years 131,000 forged notes were discovered. Soclever had the forgeries become that skilled bank elorks were often in error as to the genuinoss of notes. On one ocen- sion no tewer than thirteen prisoners were convicted on the evidence of a bank in- spector, who discovered on the day fol- lowing the trial, and fortunately in time to save the lives of those innocent men, that he had committed an error in judg: ment, and that the alleged forgeries were bona tide bank of Engzland paper. On another oceasion a ele Ineedle st hed a forged note and did not discover his mistake until too late. In 15819 the government got alurmed at the frequ f theso frauds, and u com- mittee of inquiry sat for some time in the hope of discovering a method by which the forgers could be frustrated, Many Plans were proposed and disenssed. Buit none were pussed, It was not until 1521 that the number of forgeries was m any v lessened. In that year small notes ro abandoned and sovereigns coined in targe numbers. During the following ten years only eight executions for fo gery umlkrr o, wd in 1830 penal servi Tude for life was adopted instead of capi tal punishment It s after such events as the Derby that the bank mspectors are particnlurly care ful in examining all notes, Shortly after the Derby of 181 ank notes were serutinized in one alone, but the one forged note—u for; B00-—was in- stantly dotected. in was oot trace The groatest bank of England forgery ich has yot transpired took s in In t year four Ame of means and education came over to this country provided with capital which was to be used for the ex s purpose of frauding the great English bank, They established themselves in London and Birmingham, and also on the continent, and for a time obtaumed discount for gen uine bills, After some months they b gan forging bills of exch 10 by manipulating ninety-four_bills obtained Posseasion of a8 much as £100,000, It was only by a fortunate accident that o discovered, and they are at wresent undergoing penal servitude for ife.
