ojien to whomsoever might be waiting
without. Happening to be ,he-e on
ne of these occasions. I entere I with
about a sc ire of these expe. tints; and
eniious to know tin? character and pro
iss of this informal audience given t j
! lie people, I stationed myself in a cor
ner near the President, where I coul l
see and hear all that was going on.
President Lincoln's appearance is
00 well known to need particular de
icriptii n. He va clad plainly, but
lecominu'lv. in a black broadcloth
uiit, nothing in all bis dress betoken" 1
lag disregard of conventional! y, save' :
perhaps, his in at doth slippers, which ;
were doubtless worn ( comfort. He
was seated hi
ide a plain, eloth-cov-
rrod table, in a commodious arm
chair. When this visitor had withdrawn an ,
immense specimen of a man prcsct.ted
himself. Uroad-shouldered, robust,
with thews and sinews to match J 's
great height, and withal an honest,
good-natured roii'itenance all seeiwd
t0 mark him asbi longing to the hardy '
yeomanry of the est. lie snueu up .

the President, and have the l. .ior of

kiny reception, and after some intro-

pve curi' uslv over his huge caller,
surveying him from heal to foot, and 1
tln-n siiyi lg. with a humoioiis look ana
accent it would be hard to describe :
" i rather think you have a bttle the
advantage of me i.. heigh! ; yon area
taller man than I am."
'I guess not, Mr. President," replied
the visitor, with the sill'-abncgating
iiir.-f one who seemed to regard any
claim on his par, of possessing an
advantage over the Chief Mag'-strat; as
an ff. use little short of treason, "the
advantage cannot been iny side."
"Yes, it is," was the rejoinder; "1
have a pretty good eye for distanees.and
1 think I can't be mistaken in the fad
of , he advantage being slightly with
you. IniMsut-esix feet three and a
lrilf iiv lies in my stockings, and you
go, 1 think, a little beyond Mial."
The man still demurred, insisting
very respectfully that the precedence
in the matter lay on the President's
side.
It is vcrv easilv trstel, said the
Presi.but . and rising 1 ri-kly fn in his
chair and taking a l ook from the t il le
he place it edgewise against the wa'.l
just hiirlu-r than his hea 1. Then, turn
ing to his doubting competitor for the
nonce, he bad - him "come under."
This the man did not do a' one paus
ing, with flushed face and irresilute
look, as if not certain how far he might
venture to ,nisl the Hon in his playful
mood I is countenance the while
wearing a bewildered, half-frightened
and yet half-smiling expression that
w;is really comical to see.
Come under, I say," repeated , he
President in a more peremptory tone,
anil, In nth" visitor slowly complied.
"Now straight' n yourself up. and
move your head in this way," suiting
the action to the w.-rl. This being
done. Mr. Lincoln ad. led: " Xow yon
bold the book, and be sure not to let it
slip down a hair-breadth, and 1 will
try." Planting himsclt accordingly
underneath the book, and moving his
head from rigid tilcft.it was found
that he fell a trifle short of the other's
measurement. " There," said he, "it,
is as I told you. 1 knew I couldn't be
mistaken. I rarely fail in taking a
man's true altitude' by the eye."
Yes but Mr. President." said the
nian, his coinage amid th merriment
of the company beginning to return,
"voii have slippers on and I boots, and
that ma.xcs a difference."
" Not in nigh toamoiiut to anything
in this reckoning," was the reply,
"You ought at least to be satisfied,
inv hone , frien l. with the proof given
that yon actually stand higher to-day
than votir President."
