SKETCHES OF LINCOLN.

The Hanks Girls at a Camp Meeting. THOMAS LINCOLN A3 A FARMER. Abrntmin'n Flmt School — DennU Hnnka' Rrmcnihriinrc of thr Olilcn 1 lay*. The Lincoln Family Cabin—An I'nlnvitIng Frontier Structure. (From “The Life of Lincoln" by William H. Herndon and Jeaac W. Weik. Copyright, 1»#1, byJexsoW. Weik Copyright, IStfi, by D. Ap pie ton A Co.J II. As it family the Hankses were peculiar to the civilization of early Kentucky. Illiterate and superstitious, they correspond to that nomadic class still to be met with throughout the south and known as ‘ poor whites. ” They are happily and vividly depicted in the description of a camp meeting held at Elizabethtown, Ky., in 1806, which was furnished me in August, 1865, by an eyewitness. “The Hanks girls, ” narrates the latter, “were great at camp meetings. I remember one in 1806. I will give you a scene, and if you will then read the books written on the subject you may find some apology for the superstitions that were said to be in Abe Lincoln’s character. It was at a camp meeting, as before said, when a general shout was about to commence. Preparations were being niada A young lady invited mo to stand on a bench by her side where we could see all over the altar. To the right a strong, athletic young man, about 25 years old, was being put in trim for the occasion, which was done by divesting him of all apparel except shirt and pants. On the left a young lady was being put in trim In much the same manner, so that her clothos would not be in the way and so that when her combs flew out her hair would go into graceful braids. She, too, was young, not more than 20 perhaps. The performance commenced about the same time by the youug man on the right and the young lady on the left. Slowly and gracefully they worked their way toward the center, singing, shouting, hugging and kissing, generally their own sex, until at last nearer and nearer they came. The center of the altar was reached, and the two closed, with their arms around each other, the man singing and shouting at the top of bis voice: “I have Jt-sus in my arms. Sweet us honey, strons ns bneon ham. "Just at this moment the youug lady holding to my arm whispered: ‘They are to be married next week. Her name is Hanks. ’ There were very few who did not believe this true religion, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and thoman who could not believe it did well to keep it to himself. The Hankses were the finest singers and shouters in our country." Here my informant stops, and on account of his death several years ago I failed to learn whether the young lady shouter who had figured in the foregoing scene was the president’s mother or not. The fact that Nancy Hanks did marry that year gives color to the belief that it was she. As to tho probability of the young man being Thomas Lincoln it is difficult to say. Such a performance as the one described must have required a little more emotion and enthusiasm than the tardy and inert carpenter was in the habit of manifesting. The Hoy at School. Sarah, the sister of Abraham Lincoln, though in some respects like her brother, lacked his stature. She was thickset, had dark brown hair, deep gray eyes and an even disposition. She was married to Aaron Grigsby, in Spencer county, lud., in the mouth of August, 1826, and died Jan. 20, 1828. Her brother accompanied tier to school while they lived in Kentucky, but ns he was only 7, and as she had not yet finished her ninth year when their father removed with them to Indiana, it is to bo presumed that neither made much progress in the matter of school education. Still it is authoritatively stated that they attended two schools during this short period. One of these was kept by Zachariali Riney, tho other by Caleb Hazel. It is difficult at this late day to learn much of the boy Abraham's life during those seven years of res-

iui:y vague ana nim.amt even aucr arriving at man s estate Mr. Lincoln was significantly reserved when reference was made to it. It is rarely mentioned in the autobiography furnished to Fell in 1869. John Duncan, afterward a preacher of some prominence in Kentucky, relates how he and Al» on one occasion ran a groundhog into a crevice between two rocks, and after working vainly almost two hours to get him out "Abo ran off about a quarter of a mile to a blacksmith shop and returned with an iron hook fastened to the end of a pole," and with this rude contrivance they virtually "hooked” the animal out of his retreat. Austin Gollaher of Hodgenaville claims to have saved Lincoln from drowning one day as they were trying to "coon it” across Knob creek on a log. The boys were in pursuit of birds when yonng Lincoln fell into the water, and his vigilant companion, who still survives to narrate the thrilling story, fished him out with a sycamore branch. Meanwhile Thomas Lincoln was becoming daily more dissatisfied with his situation and surroundings. He bad purchased since his marriage, on the easy terms then prevalent, two farms or tracts of land in succession. No terms were easy enough for him, and tho land, when the time for the payment of purchase money rolled around, reverted to its former owner. Starting Lift* Anew. Having determined on emigrating to Indiana, he began preparations for removal in the fall of 1816 by building for his use a fiatboat Loading it with his tools and other personal effects, including in the invoice, as we are told, 400 gallons of his whisky, he launched his “crazy craft” on a tributary of Salt creek known as Rolling Fork. Along with the current he floated down to the Ohio river, but his rudely made vessel, ! either from the want of experience in , its navigatororbecau.se of its ill adaptation to withstand the force an! caprices of the currents in the great river, capsized one day, and boat and cargo went | to the bottom. The luckless boatman s set to work, however, and by dint of j great patience and labor succeeded in recovering the tools and the bulk of the whisky. Righting his boat, he continued down the river, landing at a point called Thompson’s Ferry, in Perry county, on tho Indiana side. The head of the household now set resolutely to work to build a shelter for

his family.

The structure, when completed, was 14 feet square and was built of small hewed logs. In tho language of the day I it was called a “half faced camp,” be- | iug inclosed on all sides but one. It had neither floor, door nor windows. In this forbidding hovel these doughty emigrants braved the exposure of the varying season for an entire year. At the end of that time Thomas and Betsy Sparrow followed, bringing with them Dennis Hanks, and to them Thomas Lincoln surrendered the “half faced camp, ” while he moved into u more pretentious structure—a cabin inclosed

on all sides.

Thomas Lincoln, with tho aid of the Hankses and Sparrows, was for a time an attentive farmer. The implements of agriculture then in use were ns rude as they were rare, and yet there is nothing to show that in spite of tho slow methods then in vogue ho did not make commendable speed. “We raised corn mostly,” relates Dennis, "and some wheat—enough for a cake Sunday morning. Hog and venison hams were a legal tender and coouskius also. We raised sheep and cattle, but they did not bring much. Cows and calves were only worth ifO to f8, corn 10 cents and wheat 25 cents a bushel. ” So with all his application and frugality the head of this ill assorted household made but little headway in the accumulation of tho world’s goods. We are told that he was indeed a poor man, ami that during his entire stay in Indiana his land barely yielded him sufficient return to keep his larder supplied with tho commonest necessaries of life. His skill as a hunter, though never brought into play unless at the angered demand of a stomach hungry for meat, in no slight degree made np for the lack of good management in tho cultivation of his land. His son Abraham never evinced tho same fondness for hunting, although his cousin Dennis with much pride tells us how we could kill a wild turkey on tho wing. “At

OPPRESSED CUUA. Why the People Are So Deeply DIhcotitenletl With the Government. [Special Correspondence.] Havana, March 2.—Tho Spaniards and Cubans have been saying a good deal lately about this island being “a good cow,” meaning that it has been milked and milked and milked by the mother country until it has almost nothing left but its inexhaustible soil. The telegraph has already told you that the people have again become restless because of this everlasting milking system. To an American it seems perfectly clear that tho entire machinery of this island's government was originally designed and is carried on for tho sole purpose of making Cuba produce for Spain tho very highest revenue possible without any reference whatever to the welfare of the Cubans themselves. It seems strange that the homo government cannot understand that there is no surer way of killing the golden egg laying goose than to starve and maltreat it, yet that is exactly tho course pursued toward Cuba. It Is not worth while to speak in detail of tho many oppressive laws and regulations enforced hero, but some notion may be had of their utterly paralyzing effect from tho fact that hardly one fifth of the wonderfully productive soil of tho country is under cultivation. One most deplorable result of so oppressive a government is an utter lack of respect for it on the part of the governed. Another is almost universal corruption on the part of the officials. Still another is tho present insurrection. Perhaps the police and detective brunches of the government are as deeply honeycombed with corruption as any. It has long been a matter of general belief that in a murder case the sole aim of tho police is always to get as much money as possible. If the criminal or his friends offer more money than tho authorities, it is quite hopeless to expect his apprehension, and as this often happens a large number of murders go unpunished every year. It is mainly to the laxity of the police, of course, that the banditti flourish hero as they do. Any Cuban can relate scores of stories of the seizure of rich citizens to be afterward held for ransom. Quo of the most memorable captures of this sort took place in 1888, when Senor Don Silvestre Garcia, owner of a magnificent plantation near Matanzas, was seized upon his own plantation. Garcia was the wealthiest planter in the district. At one time ho was mayor of Matanzas, and ho had the reputation of being one of the most kindhearted of men. Ho was held for a ransom of $20,000, and the affair caused an immense amount of excitement at the time. A more usual form of extorting money from tho rich is for the banditti to make threats, either by letter or in per-

HOUSE IN WHICH THOMAS LINCOLN DIED idence in Kentucky One man, who was a clerk in the principal store of tho village where the Lincolns purchased their family supplies, remembers him as a ‘‘small boy who came sometimes to the store with his mother. He would take his seat on a keg of nails, and 1 would give him a lump of sugar. He would sit there and eat it like any other boy, but these little acts of kindness,” observes my informant In an enthusiastic statement made in 1806, “so impressed his mind that I made a steadfast friend in a man whose power and influence have since been felt through-

out the world. ”

A schoolmate of Lincoln’s at Hazel’s tchool, speaking of the master, says: "He perhaps could teach spelling and reading and indifferent writing and possibly could cipher to tho rale of throe, but he had no other qualification of a teacher unless we accept large size and bodily strength. Abe was a mere tpindle of a boy, bad his due proportion of harmless mischief, but as we lived in a country abounding in hazel switchts, in the virtue of which the master had great faish, Abo of course received his duo allowance. ” This nart of the bov's history is oain-

The cabin to which the Lincoln family removed after leaving the little half faced camp to thu Sparrows was in some respects a pretentious structure. It was of hewed logs and was 18 feet square. It was high enough to admit of a loft, where Abo slept and to which he ascended each night by means of pegs driven in the wall. The rude furniture was in keeping with the surroundings. Three legged stools answered for chairs. The bedstead, made of pules fastened in the cracks of the legs an one side and supported by acrotcbed stick driven into tho ground floor on the other, was covered with skins, leaves and old clothes. A table of the same finish as the stools, a few pewter dishes, a Dutch oven and a skillet completed tho household outfit. In this uninviting frontier structure the future president was destined to pass the greater part of his boyhood. Withal his spirits were light, and it cannot be denied that he must have enjoyed unrestrained pleasnre in his surroundings. It is related that one day the only thing that graced the dinner table was a dish of roasted potatoes. The elder Lincoln, true to the custom of the day, returned thanks for the blessing. The boy, realizing the scant proportions of the meal, looked up into his father’s face and irreverently observed, "Dad, I call these” —meaning the potatoes—"mighty poor ilesainus. ”

son, of impending disaster unless certain sums are periodically paid over to them. A visitor to this island who desired to explore its interior, but was afraid of the bandits, wrote not long ago to the owner of a handsome plantation saying that he should be glad to pay him a visit were it not for that fear. The planter wrote back at once informing the visitor not to be afraid. "It will be perfectly safe for you to come, ” ho said in his letter, “for I contribute regularly, and the banditti are under promise not to molest my friends. They always keep their word, and it is better to pay them than tho police, for tho police demand more and never respect their promises. ” A few months after the abduction of

resident of Havana received

Tho man was frightened and put the money where ho was directed. Then ho secreted himself where he could watch the rock pile. In duo time a negro woman appeared and began to search for the roll of hills. She did not get it, however, fur before she had f t^ml it sho was frightened away by the sound ot carriage wheels. The man then recovered the money, but the next day received another letter saying that he had been careless and must place tiie cash in the same rock pile again, with an addition of $200. Then he notified the police, and for a wonder they arrested tho woman, but for a long time after tiiat lie was in a state of constant fear lost ho or some of his family should suffer severe punishment at the hands of ids would bo dospoilers because of ins conduct.
