JOHN SMITH. Aa Vhlqalloai I'mousf Which T.nrf On Hi known from III HoyhooiL John Smith Is one of the most ecu liiir men I over knew, aud I have known him from my Infancy. Ha has followed me from the time I tint formed his ac quaintance until this hour. When I was married, over five hundred miles from tho place of my birth, lie u at my wedding, having been aoiiuainti'd with my wife's people long before I ieard the name. When our tint babe was born, he officiated, as muster of ceremonies, although when I first knew him he was v section hand on a railroad, and at the time of my marriage was a rising young sign-painter. He was my school-master for a considerable period between those two dates and when I joined tho church ho baptized me Into tho faith. John Smith has never been a hundred miles away from mo In all my life. When 1 was practicing law at White Hall, 111., he ran a farm less than four miles from the villace. When I was orinclpal of the village school at Inks, five of his boys reaped of the harvest of knowledge I was sowing. Although John Smith five sons were mv Dtinils at Iuka. three months before, when John Smith sailed mo down the milf coast of Florida in au own boat. he was a bachelor. It is strange how soon he amassed a family. In about nine weeks after I found him a bachelor in Florida he had been a married man In Iuka for nearly nino vetirs. I could not heln lookins upon him with aus Dicion. but a vear later, when I found him in the Legislature at Springfield, with four blushing daughters swarming around him, I was astonished. Ho has been where I could get at him on an hour's notice for more than twenty vears. and iu spito of this fact I am told that he has committed a largo number of crimes and misdemeanors. While I was in the gallery of tho Illinois House of Keprcsentatives'listening to a speech from him ou the Harper Higli-licenso bill, ho ran away with tho wife of a iirominont nlivsiciau in Chicago. How ho managed to do so without being dis covered is more than I can understand, Whilo the Sheriff of Macoupin County was looking for him with a posse fur hor.se-stcalmr he was preaching in ono of tho nmst prominent churches in that countv. and one day. while ho nnd I were catchinsr bass out of Long Lake, over in (ireen Count v. he fell from tho ton of the new uost-ollico building in SU Louis and was killed, and whilo his funeral was in progress ho robbed bank and escaped to Canada from Northern New York. When I came to Hloomington ho was a passenger conductor on the Chicago & Alton ttailroad; but I had hardly got settled in business when he came to me in the guise of a tramp printer, but he had been in so many scrapes mat i uu clined to have anything to do with him. It was less than two weeks after I saw a dispatch in the daily papers stating that he had fallen heir to lorty thousand dollars bv the death of a rich uncle in Australia. A year ago, he was driving a team of street-car mules in Blooming ton, but it was only five weeks later that I got a draft from a Colorado DanK con taininsr his signature as cashier. John Smith never gets up in the world, however, but what lin comes dow n again in a remarkably short tinn and I had hardly my draft cashed when I saw a dispatch announcing his election to Loncress from Nmtli t iiroima. iur. in the same week a mob got hold o him in Wyoming, and hung him to telegraph pole for driving off some eat tie belonging to another man; but bo- fore the Coroner could summon a jury to iniiiiro into his death he had takeu the contract to build a new jail in ono the back counties of Indiana. John Smith is ono of the most uu steady men I ever knew. The jail he had contracted to build could not have been more thau half done when ho wh fltmointcd nostmaster of a town Northern Ohio, and before he had qual fied by til'ng his bond and taking the oath, a Mexican greaser uissoeii mm and dragged him over the praiiios uutil he was a calm and harmless corpse, whose bones were left to bleach on the gandv plains of Arizona. During the last month he seems have done much better, however. annears that he married a rich widow aud her five grown daughters.in Ten nessee. and was on his way to Utah where he was to be installed as one of tho Apostles of the Mormon Church, On his way out, however, the train ran off the track and left him a one-sixth widower, having killed his wifo and mother-in-law combineiL He is now nmbablv safely arrived at Salt Lako Citv. Later: This morning's dispatch es state that he was killed yesterday at a fire in San Francisco. Still Later: The evening papers say he was arrested at the New Orleans Exposition yester day for dropping counterfeit money in the fare-box in the entrance. Through Mail. m 9 m New Colors.

As a lawyer Mr. Lincoln never at tained the high rank and reputation of Kvarts, urady, .Seward, Carpenter or Webster. He never had their kind of practice, nor did he have fifty thousand dollars as a retainer, or a great city press to report his speeches to tho million. His largest fee was $o,lK)0 in railroad ease. Although notably successful, his po- ruliar strength lav in his reasoning of facts more than the law he cited. Few men ever lived with a broader grasp of human nature and a clearer way of ex- laining things. This came to him bv his genius and intuition, and that early battle with poverty of resources to gain wisdom that gave him a marvelous memory of all he learned. A large, ungraceful frame, that to others would have been a hindrance. was to him, in Illinois, an element of greatness. A a trial lawyer, his grasp of the merits and mastery of tho right theory to win with made him a power ful advocate before a jury. His man ner was so plain that it enforced atten tion: his eves were piercing, his look so earnest, his words so apt whilo speaking, that even an adversary be came convinced Dy nis reasoning. One who heard him in Leavenworth, during the early Kansas troubles, said: 'Although his audience was largely oi enemies, fifteen minutes later they were cheering him like friends. He put clear reason in all that he said, and linchod it bv an incident that carried conviction straight to the hearts of his hearers. His keen, quaint, crisp stories were only side-lights to bring out his word-painting m bolder relief. Like the brilliant Carpenter, whose style was somewhat similar, he held his audience by a (lower or a tear, as best suited his imrnose. even witnoiii seeiniug xo oe eloquent. His modest ollico in Spnnglielil was in the second story of a plain red-brick block, reached by narrow, dingy stairs; lap'o and poorlv furnished, supplied with numerous odd-looking chairs and tables and not very inviting in appear anee. Such conveniences as type writers, file-cases, letter-tiles and book- racks were then unknowu in Spring field. A few old briefs remained in his lain hand-writing, and very many law oks lined the walls, m cases, but neither rich carpets nor line ceilings adorned the firm's ollice. The win dows were of small glass and not, at tractive. The days of good law offices had not arrived, and tho solid com forts of the average city lawyer were all unknown to Mr. Lincoln, save as he found them with his favorite counsel, Leonard Swett, in Chicago. Horn and reared in poverty, lie in herited bv it both a fund of humor and a vein of sadness that never lrit mm In his struggle with the world in youth and with war in manhood; called to high stations before ho was fully known to the pepple, it is doubtful if he ever fully realized the fame he had won as an advocate or the genius no possesseu as a man. lie was uorn oi ins nine, creature of tho age of giants, a genius from the people, all the greater lor his struggles, for he really did more than any man of his uay to destroy caste ana give courage to the lowly, and therein he wrote the brightest pages of human progress. With Lincoln promoted labor became honorable, and men no longer denied hehr humble beginning. Lincoln, the lowly, the exalted, the puro man In rude marble, the plain cover to a gentle nature, me giant frame and noble intellect! 1 lie shaft that marks his silent resting place, tho books he read, the oflieo ho used, the strong body that covered his warm heart and wise purposes were only the outer symbols to the higher gifts of his Creator! All guts and graces are never found in one person. He is great if the good predominates. All are not born equal, fiifts are diversified; but if ever a man had tne qemux oj grauncts it was Lincoln. As all are eloquent in that which they know, he was eloqtiont in the affairs of life. J. W. Ihnovan, in Current, A Great General. Major John A. RrnlJ. formerly of the Confederate army of the Southwest, and who met (limit and his men on the gory field of buttlo several times, said to the Hatchet yenterday: "Grant was a great General. He hut never been given full credit for hi ability nor the full measure of his good ness of heart. General Grant Is loved by the Southern soldiers, to whom he has alwavs been a true friend. Should he die they will be found among the most sorrowful of tho mourners at his bier. But I hopo he may yet mirvive the treatment of his scientilio at tendants. Some people in the South complained of certain objectionable things that General Grant did. To these he said: 'I am simply enforcing the laws as I found them on the statute book. The best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it strictly.' " Major Kudd rolated tho following anecdote of the great Captain: "I called on him several years ago In behalf of a certain ex-Union ollieer who was incarcerated in the Missouri State prison, unjustly in my opinion. I raado a plain statement of the case to him and concluded with the remark that, as a Confederate soldier who had been shot all to pieces, I asked that the facts in the case be given the attention they deserved. General Grant replied: 'The matter shall bo attended to.' On the following day the Union veteran was released. Grant saw the injustice of his incarceration at once, and acted Ciomptly, and in the same manner that e struck his telling blows during the war." Washington Hatchet. Three members of the Sanborn family, a brother and two sisters, all of whom are over lour-score years oi age, antt now residing at Haverhill, N.
