'Well, how much do you want I should give?' he would say, drawing his purse. 'You must leave me a little to feed the babies with.' There was considerable talk here about Mrs. Lincoln's bad temper. She was very irritable, and would often *ay things she would afterward be aorry for, I have often heard her say to Mr. Lincoln, 'Why don't you dress up and try to look like somebody ?' Sometimes she would get in a stew and refuse to get his meals for him. 1 was one morning in the eating saloon round in Monroe street fixing up a counter, when Mr. Lincoln and his oldest son, Robert, then only a little boy, came in and ordered breakfast. After the meal was served, Mr. Lincoln, leaning back in his chair, and commencing to pick his teeth, says to tbe boy, who had not quite finished, 'Well, Robby, this ain't so very bad after all, is it? If ma don't conclude to let us come back we will board here all ' summer.' He never seemed to be tbe l«ast'ruffled—always calm and pleasant. Lincoln was sitting in the telegraph office talking with everybody around him as usual, when tbe dispatch came announcing his nomination to the Presidency by the Chicago Convention. After tbe dispatch was read, Mr. Lincoln gets up and says, 'There's a woman over to my bouse who I guess would be pleased to hear tbat bit ot news. I'll walk over and teil it to her.' He was never cast down by adversity —never elated by success." Business (Earlis. JEWELRY STORE I Business tflarbs. Dnyntss (Harbs. Business tfar&s.

March 1» lS66.-tf Close upon Midsummer, 1837, a general feelin; bad spread throughout Kngland that King William the Fourth, whose illness had been officially announced in the second week of Jnne, was not likely to recover, and newspaper editors kept a sharp look-out lor the latest news from London. The Slopetown Journal, on Tuesday, June 20, had announced that, on the preceding day, the old king, then on a sick-bed at Windsor Castle, bad insisted, feeble though he was, on signing the pardon of a criminal condemned to death. It turned out to be hia last official act, for twelve hours later (actually a few minutes after 2 A.M.on Tuesday) he breathed his last. This being before the telegraph epoch, early on the same aiternoon I received from our agent in London a copy of The Time* announcing Ring William's death, and briefly stating a few particulars. The tewn was crowded with country people, it being market-day, and I resolved to issue an Extra giving the news. As every compositor was making holiday, only the office-boy (or "devil") remained. Though I knew in what respective places the types were put when distributed, 1 did not know how to set up type. But, a happy audacity standing my friend, I put into a composing-stick, in Pica (as a large type which would cover space), the lettera which announced that a few minutes after two that morning King AVilliam IV. had died, in his 72dyear; and that he was succeeded by the Princess Alexandrina Victoria, his niece, who had completed her lSlh year on the previous 24th of May. With the -devil's" aid I got this upon a galley without any of it falling into pi, doubleleaded it, having carefully and easily read the matter in the stick—thereby ascertaining that the spelling, punctuation, and spacing were correct—lelt him to work it off, on slips, on the proof-press, and, leaving word at the publishing office to have some staring placards posted in the market-place, went home with the complacent feeling of one who had done his duty under difficulties, and done it well. That evening the proprietor of the Slopetown Journal, who was a practical printer, called to congratulate me. I received his compliments very graciously, but soon was rather annoyed at finding that what 1 had set up never was circulated. Happily, he had seen it in time. He presented me with a copy, which 1 here give verbatim:— JOSIAH Rim EL, ALFRED BTERLT, HEJTRT (. rUTER,' TAPSCOTT BROTHERS & CO., SAMUEL O. SCOTT. JOS. RIEGEL & H. S.

MAIN STREET, PITT8TGN, PA. In-spite of a laudable desire to find something to praise in people who have treated them with so iriuch kindness, neither the Professor ncr Mrs. Agassiz succeed in giving us a very favorable idea of their hospitable entertainers. The Brazilian Government, they tell us, is enlightened, and endeavors to do what it can for science. , Still this intelligent Government has a pleasant way of recraiting its armies; it sends out a pressgang which catches unlucky Indians, totally ignorant of Portuguese, and not having a notion of the cause of their arrest; it chains them together two and two like criminals, and marches them to the towns, or bas their, legs passed through heavy blocks of wood, and spnds them on board its steamboats. They are sent off to the %ar, and the province from which they were taken boasts o.f its large contribution to the national forces.; Again, the emancipation question is treated in a far more moderate spirit than has been the case in the United States; slavery is gradually dying down under a reasonable system; emancipation is frequent, and slave-labor is by degrees being limited to agricultural purposes. On the other hand, the mixture of races seems to be producing the worst effects. According to Professor Agassis, the amalgamation of the white, negro, and Indian races, is producing a " mongrel nondescript type, deficient in mental and physical energy," and without the good qualities of any of its progenitors. It is remarkable that in these cross-breeds the tendency eeems to be to the Indian type, with a gradual obliteration both of white and negro characteristics. The absence of any strong prejudices against race is marked by the election of a negro as Professor of Latin, in preference to candidates of other races ; but if Mr. Agassiz is correct,tho absence of social distinction produces anything but a healthy effect upon tfie physical character of the race. The whites themselves come in for severe criticism. Tho women, we arc told, are scarcely, educated at all ; the priests have the merit of patriotism, but seem to be ignorant, immoral, and indolent; and the towns along the river are for the most part in a state ot decay. It is only fair to add that Mr. Agassis discovers many more promising symptoms in various directions, and expresses a "deep-rooted belief in the future progress and prosperity of Brazil, and sincere personal gratitude towards her." But we cannot say that a perusal of the journal tends to confirm this impression in hi* readers. We are struck by the hospitality and kindness of the people, and even by the sympathy felt by many of them in the author's scientific pursuits; but, on the whole, we receive an impression of general indolence and apathy on the part of the majority of the civilised inhabitants. Mrs. Agassiz tells us that the flowers of the Amazonian forests always remind her of hot-bouse plants—that there comes " a warm breath from the depths of the wood laden with moisture and perfume, like the air from the open door of a conservatory ;" and we seem to perceive that the Brzilians themselves have suffered not,a little from the hot-house atmosphere in which they live. The children, , we are told, have a generally unhealthy appearance ; and the population as well as the products of the country seem to be rendered languid by tho everlasting vepor-bith in which they pass their days.

PERSONAL HABITS AND MANNERS OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. i ; Having just returned from New York and Philadelphia, and laid ia • large and well selected stock of AND SIGN PAINTER, GROCERIES, « A correspondent of the Utica Herald gives the following as the reminiscences of ' a Mr. Eaton, of Springfield, who said be knew Mr. Lincoln /or thirty years : "I am * carpenter, and built his house for him. lie was often in my house and 1 in his. 1 sold him the first and I think the only cow he ever owned. lie came for her himself and led her home with a rope. He was the most common, sociable man I ever knew. His wife was rather quick tempered, used to fret and scold about a great deal, but I don't believe Mr. Lincoln was ever angry in his life. I knew him when he first came to Springfield. I had been here about a year.— There were only a few scattered houses when I came. Young Lincoln, I remember, was an awkward, hard working young man. Everybody said he woul4 never make a good lawyer, because he was too honest. He came to my shop one day, after he had been here five or six months, and said he had a notion to quit studying law and learn the carpenter's trade. He thought there was more need of carpenters out here than lawyers. Mrs Lincoln's folks were dreadfully opposed to her union with Abe.— She had two sisters and a brother living here; they live here now, and are very wealthy, aristocratic and highly respectable people. Mr». Lincoln never goes there ; they have never spoken to each other as I know of since the day she and Lincoln were married; first they would not speak to her because she had _ brought such disgrace upon them by marrying Abe Lincoln. After Lincoln began to show his colors a little, began to be popular, Mrs Lincoln would . not speak to them, but Abe was on good terms with everybody. He used always to do his own marketing, even after be was elected President, and before he went to Washington, Iused to see him at the baker's and butcher's every morning, with his basket on his arm. Everybody respected him—no more after ho was President than they did before. He was kind and sociable with every one. After he was elected we would sometimes address him as 'Mr. President,'or'glad to shake the hand of our President.' 'Well, yes, I suppose so,' he would say. 'I shall have to go and leave you before long. You must call and see me when I am living in the big house.' He was so common, so kind, so childlike, that I don't believe there was one in this city bht who loved him sb a father or brother. He was a very liberal man, too much so, perhaps, for his own good.— I am oue of the trustees of the First Baptist Church, and although Mr. Lincoln was not an attendant with our congregation, he would always give §15, $20, or $25 every year to help support tho minister. He was sure to give something to every benevolent and charitable PROVISIONS, 0. W. SPRATT, Attohhbt AT LAV. Main Street, DRIED AND CANNED FRUIT, A. C.

Sometimes she would get in a stew and refuse to get his meals for him. 1 was one morning in the eating saloon round in Monroe street fixing up a counter, when Mr. Lincoln and his oldest son, Robert, then only a little boy, came in and ordered breakfast. After the meal was served, Mr. Lincoln, leaning back in his chair, and commencing to pick his teeth, says to tbe boy, who had not quite finished, 'Well, Robby, this ain't so very bad after all, is it? If ma don't conclude to let us come back we will board here all ' summer.' He never seemed to be tbe l«ast'ruffled—always calm and pleasant. Lincoln was sitting in the telegraph office talking with everybody around him as usual, when tbe dispatch came announcing his nomination to the Presidency by the Chicago Convention.

March 1» lS66.-tf Close upon Midsummer, 1837, a general feelin; bad spread throughout Kngland that King William the Fourth, whose illness had been officially announced in the second week of Jnne, was not likely to recover, and newspaper editors kept a sharp look-out lor the latest news from London. The Slopetown Journal, on Tuesday, June 20, had announced that, on the preceding day, the old king, then on a sick-bed at Windsor Castle, bad insisted, feeble though he was, on signing the pardon of a criminal condemned to death. It turned out to be hia last official act, for twelve hours later (actually a few minutes after 2 A.M.on Tuesday) he breathed his last. This being before the telegraph epoch, early on the same aiternoon I received from our agent in London a copy of The Time* announcing Ring William's death, and briefly stating a few particulars. The tewn was crowded with country people, it being market-day, and I resolved to issue an Extra giving the news. As every compositor was making holiday, only the office-boy (or "devil") remained. Though I knew in what respective places the types were put when distributed, 1 did not know how to set up type. But, a happy audacity standing my friend, I put into a composing-stick, in Pica (as a large type which would cover space), the lettera which announced that a few minutes after two that morning King AVilliam IV. had died, in his 72dyear; and that he was succeeded by the Princess Alexandrina Victoria, his niece, who had completed her lSlh year on the previous 24th of May. With the -devil's" aid I got this upon a galley without any of it falling into pi, doubleleaded it, having carefully and easily read the matter in the stick—thereby ascertaining that the spelling, punctuation, and spacing were correct—lelt him to work it off, on slips, on the proof-press, and, leaving word at the publishing office to have some staring placards posted in the market-place, went home with the complacent feeling of one who had done his duty under difficulties, and done it well. That evening the proprietor of the Slopetown Journal, who was a practical printer, called to congratulate me. I received his compliments very graciously, but soon was rather annoyed at finding that what 1 had set up never was circulated. Happily, he had seen it in time. He presented me with a copy, which 1 here give verbatim:— JOSIAH Rim EL, ALFRED BTERLT, HEJTRT (. rUTER,' TAPSCOTT BROTHERS & CO., SAMUEL O. SCOTT. JOS. RIEGEL & H. S.

MAIN STREET, PITT8TGN, PA. In-spite of a laudable desire to find something to praise in people who have treated them with so iriuch kindness, neither the Professor ncr Mrs. Agassiz succeed in giving us a very favorable idea of their hospitable entertainers. The Brazilian Government, they tell us, is enlightened, and endeavors to do what it can for science. , Still this intelligent Government has a pleasant way of recraiting its armies; it sends out a pressgang which catches unlucky Indians, totally ignorant of Portuguese, and not having a notion of the cause of their arrest; it chains them together two and two like criminals, and marches them to the towns, or bas their, legs passed through heavy blocks of wood, and spnds them on board its steamboats. They are sent off to the %ar, and the province from which they were taken boasts o.f its large contribution to the national forces.; Again, the emancipation question is treated in a far more moderate spirit than has been the case in the United States; slavery is gradually dying down under a reasonable system; emancipation is frequent, and slave-labor is by degrees being limited to agricultural purposes. On the other hand, the mixture of races seems to be producing the worst effects. According to Professor Agassis, the amalgamation of the white, negro, and Indian races, is producing a " mongrel nondescript type, deficient in mental and physical energy," and without the good qualities of any of its progenitors. It is remarkable that in these cross-breeds the tendency eeems to be to the Indian type, with a gradual obliteration both of white and negro characteristics. The absence of any strong prejudices against race is marked by the election of a negro as Professor of Latin, in preference to candidates of other races ; but if Mr. Agassiz is correct,tho absence of social distinction produces anything but a healthy effect upon tfie physical character of the race. The whites themselves come in for severe criticism. Tho women, we arc told, are scarcely, educated at all ; the priests have the merit of patriotism, but seem to be ignorant, immoral, and indolent; and the towns along the river are for the most part in a state ot decay. It is only fair to add that Mr. Agassis discovers many more promising symptoms in various directions, and expresses a "deep-rooted belief in the future progress and prosperity of Brazil, and sincere personal gratitude towards her." But we cannot say that a perusal of the journal tends to confirm this impression in hi* readers. We are struck by the hospitality and kindness of the people, and even by the sympathy felt by many of them in the author's scientific pursuits; but, on the whole, we receive an impression of general indolence and apathy on the part of the majority of the civilised inhabitants. Mrs. Agassiz tells us that the flowers of the Amazonian forests always remind her of hot-bouse plants—that there comes " a warm breath from the depths of the wood laden with moisture and perfume, like the air from the open door of a conservatory ;" and we seem to perceive that the Brzilians themselves have suffered not,a little from the hot-house atmosphere in which they live. The children, , we are told, have a generally unhealthy appearance ; and the population as well as the products of the country seem to be rendered languid by tho everlasting vepor-bith in which they pass their days.

PERSONAL HABITS AND MANNERS OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. i ; Having just returned from New York and Philadelphia, and laid ia • large and well selected stock of AND SIGN PAINTER, GROCERIES, « A correspondent of the Utica Herald gives the following as the reminiscences of ' a Mr. Eaton, of Springfield, who said be knew Mr. Lincoln /or thirty years : "I am * carpenter, and built his house for him. lie was often in my house and 1 in his. 1 sold him the first and I think the only cow he ever owned. lie came for her himself and led her home with a rope. He was the most common, sociable man I ever knew. His wife was rather quick tempered, used to fret and scold about a great deal, but I don't believe Mr. Lincoln was ever angry in his life. I knew him when he first came to Springfield. I had been here about a year.— There were only a few scattered houses when I came. Young Lincoln, I remember, was an awkward, hard working young man. Everybody said he woul4 never make a good lawyer, because he was too honest. He came to my shop one day, after he had been here five or six months, and said he had a notion to quit studying law and learn the carpenter's trade. He thought there was more need of carpenters out here than lawyers. Mrs Lincoln's folks were dreadfully opposed to her union with Abe.— She had two sisters and a brother living here; they live here now, and are very wealthy, aristocratic and highly respectable people. Mr». Lincoln never goes there ; they have never spoken to each other as I know of since the day she and Lincoln were married; first they would not speak to her because she had _ brought such disgrace upon them by marrying Abe Lincoln. After Lincoln began to show his colors a little, began to be popular, Mrs Lincoln would . not speak to them, but Abe was on good terms with everybody. He used always to do his own marketing, even after be was elected President, and before he went to Washington, Iused to see him at the baker's and butcher's every morning, with his basket on his arm. Everybody respected him—no more after ho was President than they did before. He was kind and sociable with every one. After he was elected we would sometimes address him as 'Mr. President,'or'glad to shake the hand of our President.' 'Well, yes, I suppose so,' he would say. 'I shall have to go and leave you before long. You must call and see me when I am living in the big house.' He was so common, so kind, so childlike, that I don't believe there was one in this city bht who loved him sb a father or brother. He was a very liberal man, too much so, perhaps, for his own good.— I am oue of the trustees of the First Baptist Church, and although Mr. Lincoln was not an attendant with our congregation, he would always give §15, $20, or $25 every year to help support tho minister. He was sure to give something to every benevolent and charitable PROVISIONS, 0. W. SPRATT, Attohhbt AT LAV. Main Street, DRIED AND CANNED FRUIT, A. C.
