XI.

After serving iu the legislature for I several terms with no great distinction ' Lincoln moved to Springfield, and in i March, ls:iT, he was licensed to prao-; tice law. IIis name appears for the first time as attorney for the plaintiff iu tho case of Hawthorne versus Woolridge. Ho entered the office and became tho partner of his comrade in tho Black Hawk war, John T. Stuart, who had | gained rather an extensive practice, j and who, by tho loan of sundry text- J books several years before, had encouraged Lincoln to continue in tho study of law. Stuart had emigrated from | Kentucky in IS'JS, ami on account of, bis nativity, if for no other reason, had great influence with the leading people in Springfield. Ho used to relate that \ on tho next morning after his arrival i in Springfield ho was standing in front j of tho village itore, leaning against a I post in the sidewalk and wondering how , to introduce himself to tho community, j when ho was approached by a well dressed old gentleman, who, interesting himself in tho newcomer’s welfare, iuqulred after his history and business. “I’m from Kentucky, ’’answered Stuart, “and my profession is that of a lawyer, sir. What is tho prospect here?” Throwing bis head back and closing his left eye, tho old gentleman reflected a moment. “Young man, d d slim chance for that kind of a combination here,”

was tho response. A Modest Law Oitii’e.

At the time of Lincoln's entry into the office Stuart was just recovering from the effects of a congressional race in which ho had been the loser. Ho was still deeply absorbed in politics and was preparing for tho next canvass, in which hit was finally successful, defeating the wily and ambitious Stephen A. Douglas. In consequence of the political allurements Stuart did not give to tho law his undivided time or tho full forco of his energy and intellect. Thus more or less responsibility in the management of business and the conduct of eases soon devolved on Lincoln. Tho entries in the account books of tho firm are all in tho handwriting of Lincoln. Most of the declarations and picas were written by him also. This sort of exercise was

never congenial to him, and it was the only time, save a brief period u n d o r Judge Logan, that ho served as junior partner and performed the labor required of one who

^ serves in that rastepiikn a. Douglas, tlier subordinate capacity. Ho had not yet learned to love work. Tho office of tho firm was in the upper story of a building opposite tii" northwest corner of the present Courthouse square. In the room underneath the county court was held. The furniture was iu keeping with the pretensions of tho firm—a small lounge or bod, a chair containing a buffalo robe, in which tho junior member was wont to sit and study, a hard wooden bench, a feeble attempt at a bookcase ami a table which answered for a desk. Lincoln’s first attempt at settlement in Springfield, which preceded a few days his partnership with Stuart, has been graphically described by his friend, Joshua F. Speed, who generously offered to share his quarters with the young legal aspirant. Speed, who was a prosperous young merchant, reports that Lincoln’s personal effects consisted of a pair of saddlebags containing two or three lawbooks and a few pieces of

clothing.

“Ho had ridden into town on a borrowed horse, ” relates Speed, “and engaged from the only cabinet maker in tho village a single bedstead. Ho cumo into my store, set his saddlebags on tho counter and inquired what tho furniture for a single bedstead would cost. I took slate and pencil, made a calculation and found the sum for furniture complete would amount to $17 in all. Said he: ‘It is probably cheap enough, but I want to say that, cheap as it is, I have not the money to pay. But if you will credit mo until Christmas, and my experiment hero as a lawyer is a success, I will pay you then. If I fail in that, I will probably never pay yon at all.’ Tile tone of bis voice was so melancholy that I felt for him. 1 looked up at him, and I thought then, as 1 think now, that I never saw so gloomy and melancholy a face in my life. 1 said to him: ‘So small a debt seems to affect yon so deeply, 1 think 1 can suggest a plan by which you will bo able to attain your end without incurring any debt. I have a very largo room ami a very large double bod in it, which yon are perfectly welcome to share with mo if you choose. ’ ‘Where is your room?’ ho asked. ‘Up stairs,’ said I, pointing to the stairs leading from the store to my room. Without saying a word he took his saddlebags on his arm, went up ttairs, set them down on tho floor, came down again, and, with a face beaming with pleasure and smiles, exclaimed, ‘Well, Speed, I’m moved.’ ” A Reply to Douglas. One evening, while the usual throng ef loungers surrounded the inviting fire•jlace in Sneed’s store, the conversation

m Wp

■

luruea on political matters. me disputants waxed warm and acrimonious ns tho discussion proceeded. Business being over for the day, I strolled buck, and seating myself on a keg listened with eager interest to the battle going on among these would be statesmen. Stephen A. Douglas, 1 recollect, was leading on the Democratic side. Hohad already learned the art of dodging in debate, but still he was subtle, fiery and impetuous. Ho cBarged the Whigs with every blunder and political crime ho could imagine. No vulnerable spot seemed to have escaped him. At last, with great vehemence, he sprang up and abruptly made a challenge to those who differed with him to discuss tho whole matter publicly, remaining that “this store is no place to talk politics.” In answer to Douglas’ challenge tho contest was entered into. It took place in the Presbyterian church. Douglas, Calhoun, Lamborn and Thomas represented the Democrats, and Logan, Baker, Browning and Lincoln, in the order named, presented tho Whig side of the question. One evening was given to each man, and it therefore required over a week to complete tho tournament. Lincoln occupied the last evening, and, although the people by that time bad necessarily grown a little tired of the monotony and well worn repetition, yet Lincoln's manner of presenting bis thoughts and answering his Democratic opponents excited renewed interest. So deep was the impression ho created that ho was asked to furnish his speech to tho Sangamon Journal fur publication, and it afterward appeared in the columns of that organ. Nosooner had the legislature adjourned than he decided—if ho had not already so determined—to run for tho same place again. Ho probably wanted it for a vindication. lie was pursued now more fii rcoly than ever, anil he was better able to endure the vilification of a political campaign than when ho first offered himself to the voters iu New Salem. lie Champion# a Friend. It was during this same canvass that Lincoln by his manly interference protected his friend E. D. Baker from tho anger of an infuriated crowd. Baker was a brilliant and offecive speaker and quite as full, too, of courage as invective. Ho was addressing a crowd in the courtroom, which was immediately underneath Stuart & Lincoln’s office. Just above tlio platform on which tho speaker stood was a trapdoor in the floor, which opened into Lincoln’s office. Lincoln at tho time, as was often his habit, was lying on the floor looking down through the door at tho speaker. I was in tho body of tho crowd. Baker was hot headed and impulsive, but brave as a lion. Growing warm in his arraignment of tlio Democratic party, ho charged that “wherever there was a land office there was a Democratic newspaper to defend its corruptions.” This angered the brother of the editor of our town paper, who was present, and who cried out, “Pull him down!” at tho same time advancing from tho crowd as if to perform tho task himself. Baker, his face pale with excitement, squared himself for resistance. A shuftiing of feet, a forward movement of the crowd, and great confusion followed. Just then a long pair of legs were soon dangling from tho aperture above, and instantly tho figure of Lincoln dropped on tho platform. Motioning with his hands for silence and not su ■eeedjng, ho seized a stone water pitcher standing near by, threatening to break it over tho head of tlio first man who laid hands on Baker. “Hold on, gentlemen!” ho shouted. “This is the laud of free speech. Mr. Baker lias a right to speak and ought to bo heard. I am hero to protect him, and no man shall take him from this stand if I can prevent it. ” His interference had tho desired effect. Quiet was soon restored, and tho valiant Baker was allowed to proceed. The “Long Nine.” The canvass of 1840 was Mr. Lincoln’s last campaign for tho legislature. Feeling that ho had had enough honor out of the office, ho probably aspired for a place of more distinction. Jesse B. Thomas, one of tho men who had represented the Democratic side in tho great debate in tlio Presbyterian church, in a speech at the courthouse during this campaign, indulged in some fun at the expense of tho “Long Nine,” reflecting somewhat more on Lincoln than the rest. The latter was not present, but being apprised by his friends of what b|d been said hastened to the meeting, and soon after Thomas closed stepped upon tho platform and responded. The substance of his speech on this occasion was not so memorable as the manner of its delivery. He felt tho sting of Thomas’ allusions, and for tho first time, on the stump or in public, resorted to mimicry for effect. In this, as will bo seen later along, ho was without a rival. Ho imitated Thomas in gesture and voice, at times caricaturing his walk and the very motion of his body. Thomas, liko everybody else, hail some peculiarities of expression and gesture, niui these Lincoln succeeded in rendering more prominent than ever. Tho crowd yelled and cheered as he continued. Encouraged by these demonstrations, tho ludicrous features of the speaker’s performance gave ■yay to intense and scathing ridicule. Thomas, who was obliged to sit near by and endure tho pain of this unique ordeal, was ordinarily sensitive, but tho exhibition goaded him to desperation. Ho w;»s so thoroughly wrought up with suppressed emotion that ho actually gavo way to tears. He was selected as an elector on tho Harrison ticket for president in 1840, and as such stumped over a good portion of the state. In debate he frequently met Douglas, who had already become the standard bearer and exponent of Democratic principles. These joint mootings wero spirited affairs sometimes, but at no time did ho find the Littlo Giant averse to a conflict. "He was very sensitive,” relates one of his colleagues on the stamp, “where he thought ho had failed to meet the exnectations of his friends. ’’

Dunk rights reserved. J A T A L wrecks wore numerous on the Atlantic coasts in tho fall and winter of 1885-li. The most disastrous, with a single exception, was that of tho three masted American schooner T. B. Witherspoon of Camden, Me., on tlio southerly shore of Nantucket island. Tho vessel was on a homo voyage and nearing the end and carried a enrgy of South American products picked up at Surinam, Guiana, for Boston. For two days and nights tho Witherspoon hud scudded under bare poles, driven hy a fierce gale from tho south. At midnight on Saturday, Jan. 10, when tho skipper supposed she was approaching Montauk point, the wind suddenly changed to the westward, blowing with increased fury and driving into the faces of the sailors clouds of biting rain and sleet. Tho ship was just up from tho tropic, and although tho sailors were of the hardy seafaring race, htiling from the coast of Maine, tho sudden change of temperature, falling to a degree of intense cold, nearly paralyzed their frames. The night was indeed terrible for the hardiest men, tho worst of that long storm, memorable as tiie il ireest in many years on the New England coast. Toward morning tho captain saw a light on the starboard bow, which his reckoning told him should ho the well known beacon of Montauk point. His ship then must bo out of her true course. Swinging her off to tho eastward, ho soon brought tho light on Ids port bow. Driven now hy tho gale almost direct astern, the ship dashed on at a frightful speed, and a couple of hours before day struck heavily upon a reef in tho midst of breakers. Tho skipper's reckonings were sadly at fault. Instead of Montauk point, which should be west of him on the left as he was sailing north, tho light which had drawn him from his course at midnight was Bankaty head, on the eastern end of Nantucket island, more than I'M) miles from Montauk point. The moment she struck the bar all hands sprang into the rigging, thinking to put canvass on and work her Into deeper water, but the sails, yards ami lines were stiff with lee. and tlio benumbed sailors could do nothing to get the stranded ship under motion. Site rolled slowly under the force of the wind and sea eastward until her keel set solidly in thosand only half a mile from the Surfside life saving station. There she lay broadside to the beach, head ed east ami tlio seas breaking over her, dashing showers of spray as high as the masthead. A thlek mating of ice quickly formed on everything outside, so that ropes, masts and spars soon became double size. Only two sailors kept their place on deek, (Tiurli s W'ulf and another, who was tho first to perish on the ill fated ship. Tlio others, live in number. Including the captain, took refuge below, where, in a most terrible plight, wero the wife and child of the mate. Very soon after tho vessel struck the patrolman of the Surfside crew saw her and waved Ids arms to signal tho men on tho wreck and also to arouse the surfmen in the station, for day had not fairly broke, and tho weather was too thick for the eye to reach the distance from the station, about half a mile. Keeper Vocdor, who was on lookout, saw tho patrolman's ges- • l! * :• t Km. A \ 4 AW ■Jv \l v\ \ v? ^ \

TO SIGNAL THE MEN ON TIIE WRECK, turos ami the masts of tho vessel at about the same moment through a rift in the snow clouds and immediately ordered out tho crew. Although compelled to haul their beach apparatus in the face of the storm, tho bravo surfmen reached tho shore abreast jf tho stranded vessel within half an hour after tho wreck was sighted, and not more than an hour from the breaking of day. Kescuo by means of tho surfboat was out of the question, os tho small craft could not live u moment in the breakers around tho wreck, even if she got off. The gun was quickly brought to hoar, and the first shot carried a lino into the arms of a sailor iu tho mizzen rigging. This happened to bo YVulf. Calling up help from below, the line was hauled away until tlio whip block was almost within grasp, when idl iiut twoof the crew, Wulf and another, dropped away and went below. The piercing cold had sapped t heir strength so that they were unuhle to haul against tlio current which bowed the line to tho leeward. With only two men to pull the current drew the line almost all hack through their hands. The surfmen walked the line against the current to slack it, then motioned the sailors to begin again. The two alone, assisted by tho current, drew the lino off until the block was almost in their hands, when the rope snapped off. A second line was fired, which the men caught, and, aided by two others, who joined them from below, they hauled It off, and the block was once more within reach all but a few feet, when it broke again. The cause of the breaks was the frozen line which speedily chafed In two on the rigging, where it roste^ to facilitate the work of hauling against the dragging current. But the break whs not the worst

ot the mishap. Wulf s steadfast companion in tho work of hauling at the line stood on deck unsupported, with tho line twisted around him for a stronger bold upon it, and it broke behind him. The full power of thecurrent falling upon him alone was more tluin ho could bear, and before the others could reach a hand to grasp him lie was whirled Into the se.-i. Seeing that, the life savers hauled away gallantly to get him ashore, but benuitiiied with cold and weakened with the long pull he had kept up for two hours he dropped off end sank in the freezing surf. The catastrophe to tho lines ending in tho ' death of one mt if the two most actively i co-operating on I oard tho wreck nearly led to a s nud. owing to tlio friintlo desire of a crowd of spectators on shore to hasten the rescue. Keeper Veedcr steadily insisted that a lifeboat or raft could not live in that sea, hut a raft having licon brought to the spot hy the Massachusetts Humane society ho yielded to tho clamor if the crowd and with his men helped to launch It. The moment it struck the heavy sea tho oars were torn from the hands of tho rowers, and two of tho men swept Into tho surf. The raft was next tossed high upon the beach, and the men overboard barely

escaped with their'llves.

Meanwhile the situation on board tho wreck, as afterward disclosed by Wulf, was appalling. Of the four men who helped on the line which broke and dragged a victim down with it, two, ono of them tho captain, froze to tho rigging, where they had stood while hauling, and in that lifelike attitude perished before the eyes of their would he rescuers. This was unsuspected on shore until, when another shotlinc was fired over tho wreck, only one man, the heroic Wulf, laid hold to socuro it. After making it fast he went into the forward cabin, remaining there so long that the life savers believed ho had given up tho bitter struggle and gone to find a dying tied out of the pitiless storm. A ciruumstance of an hour before gave color to tills belief. A man who had not been seen working with tlio crew on tho lines emerged from the after cabin, passed his companions on dock and disappeared into tho house forward. Ho had indeed gone there to die, his brain turned by tlio saddest of ail the tragedies on board that

IN THE FLOODED CABIN, ill starred ship. He was the mate of tho ship and had stood the whole morning waist deep in the freezing water In the cabin holding Ids child in one arm and witli theother supporting Ids sinking wife. Of the men driven into tho cabin, after hauling until they were exhausted on the first lino, two had died in the presence of tho mate and his helpless ones. The worn an was tho next to go down, and seeing its mother floating lifeless on tho water which swayed under the motion of the rolling vessel, tho little ono whispered faintly to the broken hearted father, “Papa, won't God take us to shore?” At Inst tho child perished in its father’s aims. Crazed \sith grief, ho rushed from that floating tomb to hidoand await for death. Wulf found him in tho other cabin lying motionless in tho water and dragged 1dm on deck, promising life if he would hoar a hand to haul off tiie lino that had been made fast. Cheered hy tho sudden appearance of these two when they feared that all on board wore dead, the surfmen again walked the line to the windward, where tho strong current slacked it toward tho ship. That lino and also another broke. A third was fired into the rigging, but tho sailors were unable to climb up the ladders after it. so it was hauled hack and fired low over the rail. Although both very weak, Wulf and the mate hailed off tho buoy, and tho latter was placed In. Wulf sung out to the life savors. ' Haul ashore!” standing hy tho rail to slack tiie offshoroond as fast ns tho buoy traveled. The mate was badly frost bitten and was hurried to the station wrapped in blankets. Tho devotion of Wulf to his suffering shipmates was heroic and his powers of endurance marvelous. Unaided, for he alone remained alive, ho hauled tho buoy off to tho ship and was saved. Tlio rescue of Wulf and tho mate was accomplished by hauling the buoy through tho surf, and as their clothing had already been drenched and was frozen stiff from tho journey through the Icy water tho poor men received shocks making them unconscious. Not until after hours of treatment at the station could they tell tho hapless story. But there remained no sign of life on the wreck from tho moment Wulf sprung Into tho buoy, und the life savors gave their attention to tho rescued men. The vessel became a total wreck. George L. Kilmer.

Witli the Caravan,

In tho sandy deserts of tho north, where journeys tire mndo so much hy night, the feeling of melancholy is often found to prevail. On horseback or by mail cart, on tho long, straight tracks through tiie sand, ono seems to bo perpetually following some star in the heavens to which ono gets no nearer. If one stops to rest, no sound falls upon tho ear save perhaps tho groans of a camel being loaded fur the night march or tiie creak of a Persian wheel raising the water on tho river's brink. It is n relief to puss the strings of camel* bearing their rich burdens of silk, asafetida and grapes from distant Kabul to the Indian cities of tiie plains. In a long string, led by tho bearded and travel stained driver, who is well fortified by opium for the wearv and mountainous journey, they emerge suddenly and silent ly, liko phantoms from tho nocturnal gloom, and, gliding noiselessly by, quickly disappear again.—Gentleman's Magazine.
