[HEW news of yesterday I When Lincoln and Greeley Were Members of Congress. .1 I Great Editor Said the Future President Seemed to Him Then Most Inconspicuous, Serious-Minded and Serious-Mannered. By E. J. EDWARDS. The late Colonel George Bliss, who was prominent in Republican politics in New Yorn state for upwards of 30 years, and at one time was United States district attorney for the south ern district of New York, was for many years an intimate personal friend of Horace Greeley His intimacy with Greeley was so close that the grr>* editor was accustomed to call Colonel Bliss by his first name, and often by the diminutive of "Georgie," Bliss being much the younger man of the two. “It was at the time when Lincoln’s body was lying in state in the rotunda of the city hall in New York,” said Colonel Bliss, “that Greeley told m” of his most vivid recuiieetlon of Abraham Lincoln as a member of congress. Little known as the fact may be today, Lincoln and Greeley were members of the same congress; Lincoln was elected for a full term in 1846, and to fill a vacancy in the same congress Greeley took his seat in the house in December. 1848, and remained there until March 4 of the following year. Greeley accepted lhe nomination and election for two rea sons, he told me; first, because he wanted to get a view of what was going on from the inside in the way of national legislation and politics, and, i next, because he thought it would be i a good chance for him to write special I political letters to the Tribune from Washington. “ ‘lt was the last session of the I congress in which Lincoln sat,' con I tinned Mr. Greeley, 'and I had heard j very little of Abraham Lincoln, exI cept that I had been told that a Whig of that name had been elected to con gress unexpectedly from the San gamon district in Illinois. That was about the only thing that gave Lincoln any prominence in those days; and I was, in fact, so, little interested in ths man that I served almost a month in congress before I had him pointed out to me. “ ‘A few day? after that I made Lincoln’s acquaintance. It was not long before I discovered that he and I both agreed on the slavery question as one which must be answered permanently In the course of a few years, and after that he and I had held many conversations. “I asked Mr. Greeley," continued Colonel Bliss, “whether Lincoln, attracted much attention as a representative or enjoyed any noticeable popularity? “ ‘Not that I observed,’ replied Greei ley. He seemed to me about as quiet : and inconspicuous and serious-minded | a man as any one of the two hundred I members of the house at that time. “ 'There is one tiling, however, that I I do remember about Lincoln the conI gressman which has always seemed to me very strange. Ten years later we printed reports of Lincoln’s de bates with Douglas, and I particularly ; noticed that Lincoln interpolated his speeches with a great many anec j j dotes. I inquired about this and friends of Lincoln told me that in Illinois it was his invariable cusv'.-n to illustrate or point an argument by n story. Os course, when he bee ue president the country became speedily familiar with Lincoln’s habit of | using stories in this manner. Rut here is a strange thing. I had a great many chats with Lincoln in the last two months or six w»eks of the session of congrers of which we were both members. We found ourselves very neatly tn agre -ment on most political questions, we were strongly in agreement on protection. And Lincoln got in the habit of coming almost every day to my seat and talking with me. Yet in all our conversations Lin coin did not once tell one itory or relate a single anecdote or indulge in any humor except occasionally a dry, trifling scintillation of humor. 1 thought him as serious-minded and i serious-manenred a man as 1 had ever j met. I have often wondered whether I j lie refrained from telling stories to me because he thought 1 was a man who i would not appreciate a story, or ; whether lie began to Indulge In that sort of thing generally after he became popular as a stump speaker in Illinois. 1 have never been able to decide which explanation is the correct one.’" (Copyright, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Cold-Storage Chicks. Rene Bache. the well-known author, , was talking In Washington about na- ■ ture fakers. "Their fakes are so evident,” he | said. “That's one good thing. They ■ deceive nobody. "I know a nature faker,” said Mr. Bache. "who claims that a hen of his last month hatched, from a setting of 17 eggs, 17 chicks that had, in lieu of feathers, fur. "He claimed that these fur-coated chicks were a proof of nature's adaptation of all animals to their environ- j ment, the 17 eggs having been of the cold-storage variety.” Awful.
