-Abraham Lincoln in Our Own County.
-
-
-We visit scenes of historic interest, because we seem to feel that the
-presence of the heroes, whose fame they help to keep, is there. Our
-fair West is yet new, and, save the legends of Indian battles and of
-the mound builders before them, has little of history. But from our
-state, young as it is, great true men have gone forth; and one who
-stands above them all, is best known and best honored of them all, was
-once here in our midst. The plain streets and surroundings have for us
-an additional interest, since we know that Abraham Lincoln has been
-here. There are men among us now who have known him and greeted him as
-honest old Abe Lincoln, the rail-splitter.
-
-It was nearly forty years ago that he first came to attend court here.
-He was oft times advised to go to Chicago and build up for himself a
-profitable business, which he was abundantly able to do. Inducements
-were offered him. But he preferred to ride around the circuit with a
-crowd of friendly lawyers, telling stories and studying in his odd
-moments. Of his power in the former direction, we all know. M^cCarthy,
-in his “History of Our Own Times”, in describing Palmerston’s power for
-story-telling compares him with Bismark in his early days, and with our
-own Lincoln.
-
-Well as Lincoln loved his fun, he was a diligent student. When a boy,
-he had possessed but few opportunities for getting an education; so
-that what little he had was picked up at odd moments. He used to carry
-with him, on the circuit, text-books such as are used in school. At
-one time when here, he had a geometry, over which he used to pore like
-an ambitious school boy. At another time, he had a copy of Euclid.
-The last time he was here, not long before he was elected to the
-Presidency, he was studying German. He had a little book such as in
-popular phrase is known as an “easy method.” The German sentence was
-written upon one line; and upon the line below it was the translation
-in English. As honest in this work as in every thing else, he had
-prepared a little card with a hole through the centre, just wide enough
-and long enough to allow one line to be seen at a time. He would lay
-the card upon his book so that he could see the German sentence; then
-after puzzling over it, until he thought he had mastered it, he would
-slip down the card, and if his translation had been correct, would slap
-himself upon the knee, evidently well pleased with his work. Under such
-difficulties as these, the great man drilled his mind. It was a rich
-heart back of all that made the simple treasures of his mind gleam as
-they did.
-
-Judge Cunningham has hanging upon the walls at his home, a picture of
-Lincoln, which shows him as he was known among us. His face was clean
-shaven, and his dark-brown hair thrown carelessly back from his high
-forehead. The upper part of his face was handsome; and there was a sort
-of wistful look about the eyes that would, even in the picture, hold
-one’s attention. The leathery skin was folded upon his face. About
-the mouth, there was a firmness that gave additional meaning to every
-feature. Looking upon the face, you would feel yourself drawn to it
-by a sort of mysterious attraction. His dress showed negligence, yet
-was always clean. He scarcely ever carried with him but one suit of
-clothing and hence the following incident:
-
-During the years of his practice here, there was in Urbana a short,
-stout Jew by the name of Alschuler, who kept a daguerreotype gallery.
-As Lincoln was becoming somewhat famous, the Jew pressed to come up to
-the gallery and sit for a picture. Finally, rather pleased himself at
-the idea, the statesman stepped in one day, when he had gained a little
-leisure from his work, attired in a long linen coat. Now a linen coat
-is the worst sort of an affair to have on when one sits for a picture;
-and so the Jew objected strongly. “But,” said Mr. Lincoln, “this is
-all the coat I have brought with me from home.” “Ha! Ha! I have it--I
-have it,” said the artist, after a moment’s pause; “You shall wear my
-coat.” Readily assenting to the proposition, Mr Lincoln removed his own
-coat and put on that of the Jew. It was scarcely an improvement; for
-the garment of the Jew was, by far, too short, while the sleeves came
-little beyond his elbows. But this difficulty was soon easily remedied.
-At the Artist’s desire, Mr. Lincoln seated himself in a chair, and
-after carefully adjusting the coat, put his hands behind him and thus
-sat for his picture.
-
-From Lincoln’s first appearance here until 1859, there appear upon the
-court records the names of but few lawyers now practicing in our midst.
-There were others, like Mr. Lincoln, who travelled around the circuit.
-Prominent among these were Mr Swett, now of Chicago. Mr. Lamon, David
-Davis, afterwards judge of the circuit, and O. B. Ficklin, member of
-Congress from the district south of us. These were a jovial set of
-men, who knew well how to appreciate Lincoln’s stories. The old hotel
-in Urbana, stood across the street from where the St. Nicholas now
-stands; and during the noon hour, and oft times until in the night
-time, passers by could hear the roars of laughter provoked by these
-stories. Judge Davis used to delight in these as heartily as the best.
-Coming here from some other court in the circuit on the first evening,
-so soon as the crowd of lawyers had gathered together at the hotel,
-Davis would say: “Now, Lincoln let us have _that story_”--and the story
-once begun, the evening was filled with merriment.
-
-There are some who remember Lincoln as he appeared in court. He was
-very tall (six feet four), and very awkward. He used to sit with one
-of his long legs hanging over the other, the toe of the shoe on one
-locked behind the heel of the other. When he arose to speak, he seemed
-much embarrassed, and as is normally the case, knew not what to do with
-his hands. So he had a habit of clasping them very awkwardly over his
-stomach. As he warmed up, however, he soon forgot his hands; and being
-freed, they aided him in his delivery. While standing, likely as not,
-he had one of his long legs slung over the back of a chair; or had
-his foot placed upon it.
-
-Some lawyers would address the jury in fine, oratorical language.
-He never made a pretense at eloquence. He used to stand before the
-jury and talk as one of their number: he was the “thirteenth man” of
-the jury telling his opinion of the case. Such homely phrases as: “I
-reckon,” made his language familiar. Beginning his argument, he would
-state that of his opponent fairly and squarely--would state the case
-so that it would seem he had granted his side all away, then he would
-turn, and with his ever recurring “_but_” would bring forth his reasons
-fast and with force. His style of argument was strong and clear. He
-built his position, as it were, a series of steps. Each point was
-connected with the one before and after it. Great as was his love of
-telling stories, he never used them in his speeches at all. Beside the
-influence of his manner, he won upon a jury by his reputation. Every
-one believed him honest, and the jury men would sit and look up into
-his face, drinking every word he uttered for the truth. Henry Clay in
-famous for the number of murderers whom he saved from a merited doom.
-I only know of one case where Lincoln argued eloquently against his
-conscience, and then he was pleading for the sin of one who had been
-his friend and benefactor. He may even then have been honest in his
-plea, believing the boy innocent.
-
-In the Fall of ’58, two men, in a grocery store at Sadorus, engaged in
-a discussion upon politics, became angry, and one, snatching from the
-counter by his side, a four pound weight, threw at the other and killed
-him. Ward H. Lamon was at the time Prosecuting Attorney. The widow
-of the murdered man engaged O. B. Ficklin to aid in the prosecution.
-Messrs. Lincoln and Swett were the lawyers for the defense. When
-the time came for the presentation of the argument, Mr. Lincoln, in
-his turn made his speech. As the trial had proceeded, he had become
-more and more persuaded that his client deserved severe punishment.
-His speech was a failure. Judge Davis told him so afterwards, and he
-acknowledged it. Swett, however, took his turn with a fine argument
-and the murderer was let off with a few years in the penitentiary.
-At another time, I am told, having become convinced that he was on the
-wrong side of the case, he was missing when called for to make his
-argument. The messenger, sent to search for him, found him in his room.
-“Tell the Judge,” he said, “that I am busy and can’t come”.
-
-His humor oft times served him in a trial. I find in the “Urbana Union”
-for March, 4, 1858, a story of his own, to the point. A crowd of men
-were in an office discussing the fight in Congress upon the “Lecompton
-Constitution”, when Lincoln entered and was asked his opinion on the
-matter. Having seated himself in a chair, and having thrown one leg
-over the other in his usual way, he said he could best illustrate
-his opinion by means of a story. There were two men, he said, in a
-neighboring county, who had often met at “logger-heads”. One day, after
-an earnest discussion at their border line, one of them, in his anger,
-leaped over the fence and gave the other a sound thrashing. “I was
-engaged for the defense. The witness for the prosecution was a very
-talkative fellow, not confining himself to the mere matter of the
-questions put, but willing to tell all he knew. When it came my turn to
-question him, I asked: ‘You say you saw the fight?’
-
-‘Yes, stranger, I reckon I did’.
-
-‘Was it much of a fight?’
-
-‘I’ll be darned if it wasn’t stranger, a right smart fight’.
-
-‘How much ground did the contestants cover over?’
-
-‘About one acre’.
-
-‘About one acre’, I repeated musingly; ‘well now witness, tell me,
-wasn’t that just about the smallest crop of a fight off, of an acre
-of ground that you have ever heard of?’ ‘That’s so stranger. I’ll be
-gol-darned if it wasn’t.’ The jury” said Mr. Lincoln, giving his leg
-a twitch, and waiting for the roar of laughter to subside, “fined my
-client just ten cents”.
-
-At another time, Oliver Davis, now judge at Danville, was opposed to
-him in a case. Davis, in reviewing his opponent’s argument, repeated
-again and again; Mr. Lincoln holds _this position_, Mr. Lincoln holds
-_that_ position. Finally Lincoln looked up from where he sat, and
-asked, with a twinkle in his eye: “That was a curious position,
-wasn’t it?” Coming from any one else, so little a thing had not been
-noticed; but as it was, the question destroyed a great deal of the
-power of Mr. Davis’ argument.
-
-Mr. Lincoln never cared to accumulate wealth. His charges were always
-reasonable. There was once in our midst, a worthy carpenter by the
-name of Campbell, who had taken a horse in part pay for some work
-he had done. The horse proved to be unsound; and Campbell sued the
-man from whom he had obtained it. Lincoln took the case for him, and
-worked hard all of one day trying it. “I was standing by,” says one,
-“when Mr. Campbell asked what the fee was. ‘Five dollars will do, I
-guess,’ said Lincoln.” At one time, Lincoln had a case for the Illinois
-Central Rail-road Company, and won it. He made his fee one thousand
-dollars, which the company refused to pay. He sued the company for the
-money; and during the trial of the case, several lawyers called upon
-to testify to the value of the service rendered, placed it at five
-thousand dollars.
-
-There was a man for some time residing in Urbana, who used often to
-speak of Lincoln’s kindness to him. It seems that the man had become
-involved in a law suit upon the result of which much depended. He went
-to several lawyers, who refused to take his case because they doubted
-his ability to pay. He came to Lincoln and laid the matter before him,
-showed him that if he lost the case, he was a ruined man. Lincoln
-undertook the case for him, and won it. One day the man met Lincoln on
-the street and stopped him to thank him for his services--said he could
-not pay him then, and did not know how soon he would be able. “That’s
-all right, my friend, that’s all right” said Lincoln, as he grasped the
-man by the hand. “And would you believe it,” the client would add, with
-tears in his eyes, as he told the incident, “He left five dollars in my
-hand.”
-
-When engaged in an important case, Lincoln was all absorbed in his
-work. He would walk along the street lost in thought; and would not
-even notice his best friends. “I have seen him,” says one, walk back
-and forth in the court yard regardless of every thing around him.
-
-He was a very careful lawyer. Long as he had practiced, he would never
-write the simplest forms without his book before him. He was very kind
-to young men just beginning their study. One time, when others were
-laughing at one who was much embarrassed, in making out some forms new
-to him, Lincoln arose, and speaking kindly to him, showed him what he
-needed to know. He even spoke encouragingly to those who were just
-beginning their practice.
-
-Lincoln made several speeches in our county. In the Fall of 1856, he
-spoke from the court house in Urbana, upon the constitutionality of the
-action of Congress with regard to slavery in the territory. The county
-paper of the time speaks highly of the effort of its power and logic,
-and of the speaker’s ability.
-
-At one time he spoke in what is known as the goose-pond church, a
-little building near the Doane House. During his speech, he had
-occasion to read from some paper which he had in his posession.
-His eyesight was beginning to fail him; and it was with great
-difficulties that he could see to read. He held the paper off at arm’s
-length, and then drew it to him, moving it back and forth. Finally some
-one back in the crowd yelled out: “Put on your specks.” “Ah,” said
-Lincoln reaching out his long bony arm, far as he could, “My eyes are
-all right, but my arm is too short.”
-
-The most important speech that Mr. Lincoln ever made here, was upon
-Sept. 24, 1858, in the old fair ground. Douglas was here, and spoke
-upon the 23rd. Lincoln’s speech was made in reply to the one he gave.
-Mr. Lincoln arrived, and was received at the Doane House platform, on
-the afternoon of the 23rd. It was in regard to the occasion that a
-characteristic letter was written to Mr. Cunningham, who had invited
-Mr. Lincoln to speak here. The letter was written from Ottawa. “I
-crossed swords,” it read “here today with Douglas, for the first time.
-The fire flew some, but I am happy to say that I am still alive.”
-In the evening, after his arrival, Lincoln was the guest of the
-Champaign (then West Urbana) Republican club. The night was passed at
-Mr. Baddely’s, the large brick building across the street from the
-Episcopal church. Until a late hour, the house and yard were filled
-with citizens. Speeches were made and music had in abundance. On the
-24th, at 10 o’clock, the procession formed at the park to march to
-Urbana. It was the finest procession Champaign has ever witnessed.
-The deep interest taken in the occasion is made more apparent, when
-we remember that the time of the year was the worst possible for the
-getting together of a crowd; that the county fair had just closed,
-having filled three days with excitement, that there was scarcely a
-family in the county, in which there was not some sickness; and that
-Douglas had drained the country the day before. The crowd was immense.
-“The procession, led by the Urbana Brass Band, German Band and Danville
-Band, over sixty young ladies on horse-back, with their attendants,
-thirty-two of whom represented the states of the Union,” was over two
-miles in length. All proceeded to the old fair ground, where a basket
-picnic was held. “Have the dinner first,” said Lincoln to the officer
-of the day: “Folks will listen to me better for it.” The table at
-which Lincoln sat was well loaded; and the best of the luxuries were
-placed around his plate. He, however, chose out a turkey leg and
-biscuit and began to make his meal upon these. Looking around, he saw
-behind him an old lady known as “Granny Hutchinson,” standing looking
-longingly at the feast. “Here Granny” said Lincoln springing from his
-seat, “you have my place.” And the kind hearted orator sat back upon
-the root of a tree and finished his turkey leg and biscuit, while
-“Granny” enjoyed a bountiful dinner. Thus the man’s kindness of heart
-showed itself everywhere. In his speech, he began by asking if Douglas
-had made his point on that; and having found what arguments the senator
-had used, he proceeded to answer them in his clear, logical manner.
-
-Douglas used oft times to abuse Lincoln’s character, accusing him of
-having kept a saloon. To such personalities as this, Lincoln seldom
-deigned to reply. It was in one of his speeches made here that he said:
-“Douglas has accused me of having kept a saloon. But I have never
-before mentioned that during that time, he was my best customer.
-While I served on one side of the counter, he served on the other.”
-
-On Sept. 6, 1858, Lincoln spoke at Montville. One writing from that
-place says: “About 10 o’clock, hearing that the delegation from
-Champaign County was approaching town, a company of thirty-two young
-men on horse-back, with flags in their hands, under the best of martial
-regulations, galloped out to meet the Champaignese, whom they found in
-strong numbers making a procession nearly a mile long, headed by two
-bands of music.”
-
-Our people took a great interest in Lincoln’s political career. It
-was at Bloomington that a resolution was passed, previous to the
-senatorial conflict, that we want a _big_ man, with a _big_ heart and
-a _big_ intellect to represent this our _big_ state. At our own county
-convention in June ’58, the following resolution was adopted: “That
-the Hon. Abraham Lincoln is our first, last and only choice to fill
-the vacancy to occur in the U.S. Senate on the fourth of March next:
-that we are jealous of his honor and rights; and that we repudiate
-all influence whether coming from home or abroad to thwart us in this
-cherished and unalienable purpose of the Republican party of this
-state.”
-
-Then the thought came that Abraham Lincoln might be our president.
-“We had the pleasure,” says the editor of the “Central Illinois
-Gazette”, published at the time in Champaign, “of introducing to the
-hospitalities of our sanctum, a few days since, the Hon. Abraham
-Lincoln. Few men can make an hour pass away more agreeably. We do not
-pretend to know, whether Mr. Lincoln will ever condescend to occupy the
-White House or not: but if he should, it is a comfort to know that he
-has established for himself a character and reputation of sufficient
-strength and purity to withstand the disreputable influences of even
-_that_ locality.”
-
-Speaking of Lincoln’s honesty, the same editor relates an anecdote.
-It was in Springfield, during the session of a Douglas-Democratic
-convention. Any man used to wire pulling would have been on hand with
-his schemes. Lincoln was seen standing in a direction opposite from the
-convention; and when asked where he was going, replied that it was to
-attend the funeral of an old neighbor.
-
-A point worthy of notice in Lincoln’s character is his temperance.
-While it was the custom of the lawyers of his association to drink,
-he never drank with them. Once in a while he would play a game of
-billiards. “I remember” an old citizen tells me, “the first game I ever
-played with him. When it came my turn to play, he said to me in a very
-legal-like manner: ‘now if this were my case, I would hit this ball,
-make it roll against that one, have it hit the cushion, and then roll
-back against the third ball there’.”
-
-The last words of Mr. Lincoln in our county, were uttered Feb’y. 11,
-1861, at Tolono. He had been elected President of the United States,
-and was on his way to Washington. Secession in the South had already
-begun its work; and all eyes were turned towards the coming President.
-In passing through Tolono, in response to applause, which hailed
-his appearance upon the car platform, he said: “I am leaving you on
-an errand of national importance, attended, as you are aware, with
-considerable difficulties. Let us believe, as some poet has expressed
-it: ‘Behind the cloud, the sun is still shining.’ I bid you an
-affectionate farewell.” The train moved on and vanished in the East;
-and when next it returned it bore the form of Abraham Lincoln, cold and
-still, wrapped in black; while his soul had pierced “_the cloud_” and
-entered into the sunlight beyond.
-
-Abraham Lincoln was not a man of great intellect, but of rich heart
-powers. In the dark hour of our nation’s need he came, found his place
-and filled it. “Melancholy dropped from him as he walked”; yet all
-who knew him loved him. There are old grey-headed men and women in
-our midst, who speak his name with affection; for have they not known
-him, heard his voice, felt the grasp of his hand, and comprehended his
-great, warm heart. Such a man has lived and moved among us.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<h2><a name="Abraham_Lincoln" id="Abraham_Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln
-in
-Our Own County.</a></h2>
-
-<p>We visit scenes of historic interest, because we seem
-to feel that the presence of the heroes, whose fame they
-help to keep, is there. Our fair West is yet new, and,
-save the legends of Indian battles and of the mound
-builders before them, has little of history. But from
-our state, young as it is, great true men have gone
-forth; and one who stands above them all, is best
-known and best honored of them all, was once here
-in our midst. The plain streets and surroundings
-have for us an additional interest, since we know
-that Abraham Lincoln has been here. There are men
-among us now who have known him and greeted him
-as honest old Abe Lincoln, the rail-splitter.</p>
-
-<p>It was nearly forty years ago that he first
-came to attend court here. He was oft times ad<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</a></span>vised
-to go to Chicago and build up for himself a
-profitable business, which he was abundantly able to
-do. Inducements were offered him. But he preferred to
-ride around the circuit with a crowd of friendly
-lawyers, telling stories and studying in his odd moments.
-Of his power in the former direction, we all
-know. M<sup>c</sup>Carthy, in his “History of Our Own Times”, in
-describing Palmerston’s power for story-telling compares
-him with Bismark in his early days, and with
-our own Lincoln.</p>
-
-<p>Well as Lincoln loved his fun, he was a diligent
-student. When a boy, he had possessed but few
-opportunities for getting an education; so that what
-little he had was picked up at odd moments. He used
-to carry with him, on the circuit, text-books such as are
-used in school. At one time when here, he had a geometry,
-over which he used to pore like an ambitious school boy.
-At another time, he had a copy of Euclid. The last time he
-was here, not long before he was elected to the Presidency,
-he was studying German. He had a little
-book such as in popular phrase is known as an “easy<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</a></span>
-method.” The German sentence was written upon one line;
-and upon the line below it was the translation in English.
-As honest in this work as in every thing else, he had
-prepared a little card with a hole through the centre,
-just wide enough and long enough to allow one
-line to be seen at a time. He would lay the card
-upon his book so that he could see the German sentence;
-then after puzzling over it, until he thought he had
-mastered it, he would slip down the card, and if his
-translation had been correct, would slap himself upon
-the knee, evidently well pleased with his work. Under
-such difficulties as these, the great man drilled his
-mind. It was a rich heart back of all that made the
-simple treasures of his mind gleam as they did.</p>
-
-<p>Judge Cunningham has hanging upon
-the walls at his home, a picture of Lincoln, which
-shows him as he was known among us. His
-face was clean shaven, and his dark-brown hair thrown
-carelessly back from his high forehead. The upper
-part of his face was handsome; and there was a
-sort of wistful look about the eyes that would, even<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span>
-in the picture, hold one’s attention. The leathery skin
-was folded upon his face. About the mouth, there
-was a firmness that gave additional meaning to every
-feature. Looking upon the face, you would feel yourself
-drawn to it by a sort of mysterious attraction.
-His dress showed negligence, yet was always clean. He
-scarcely ever carried with him but one suit of clothing
-and hence the following incident:</p>
-
-<p>During the years of his practice here, there
-was in Urbana a short, stout Jew by the name of Alschuler,
-who kept a daguerreotype gallery. As Lincoln
-was becoming somewhat famous, the Jew pressed to come
-up to the gallery and sit for a picture. Finally,
-rather pleased himself at the idea, the statesman
-stepped in one day, when he had gained a
-little leisure from his work, attired in a long linen
-coat. Now a linen coat is the worst sort of an affair
-to have on when one sits for a picture; and so
-the Jew objected strongly. “But,” said Mr. Lincoln, “this
-is all the coat I have brought with me from home.”
-“Ha! Ha! I have it&mdash;I have it,” said the artist, after a<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span>
-moment’s pause; “You shall wear my coat.” Readily assenting
-to the proposition, Mr Lincoln removed his own
-coat and put on that of the Jew. It was scarcely an
-improvement; for the garment of the Jew was, by far,
-too short, while the sleeves came little beyond his
-elbows. But this difficulty was soon easily remedied.
-At the Artist’s desire, Mr. Lincoln seated himself in a
-chair, and after carefully adjusting the coat, put
-his hands behind him and thus sat for his picture.</p>
-
-<p>From Lincoln’s first appearance here until
-1859, there appear upon the court records the names of
-but few lawyers now practicing in our midst. There
-were others, like Mr. Lincoln, who travelled around the
-circuit. Prominent among these were Mr Swett, now
-of Chicago. Mr. Lamon, David Davis, afterwards
-judge of the circuit, and O. B. Ficklin, member of
-Congress from the district south of us. These were a
-jovial set of men, who knew well how to appreciate
-Lincoln’s stories. The old hotel in Urbana,
-stood across the street from where the St. Nicholas<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>
-now stands; and during the noon hour, and oft
-times until in the night time, passers by could
-hear the roars of laughter provoked by these stories.
-Judge Davis used to delight in these as heartily as the
-best. Coming here from some other court in the circuit
-on the first evening, so soon as the crowd of lawyers had
-gathered together at the hotel, Davis would say: “Now,
-Lincoln let us have <i>that story</i>”&mdash;and the story once begun,
-the evening was filled with merriment.</p>
-
-<p>There are some who remember Lincoln as he
-appeared in court. He was very tall (six feet four),
-and very awkward. He used to sit with one of his long
-legs hanging over the other, the toe of the shoe on one locked
-behind the heel of the other. When he arose to speak,
-he seemed much embarrassed, and as is normally the
-case, knew not what to do with his hands. So he had a
-habit of clasping them very awkwardly over his stomach.
-As he warmed up, however, he soon forgot his
-hands; and being freed, they aided him in his
-delivery. While standing, likely as not, he had one
-of his long legs slung over the back of a chair; or<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span>
-had his foot placed upon it.</p>
-
-<p>Some lawyers would address the jury in fine,
-oratorical language. He never made a pretense at eloquence.
-He used to stand before the jury and
-talk as one of their number: he was the “thirteenth man”
-of the jury telling his opinion of the case. Such
-homely phrases as: “I reckon,” made his language familiar.
-Beginning his argument, he would state that of his
-opponent fairly and squarely&mdash;would state the case
-so that it would seem he had granted his side all
-away, then he would turn, and with his ever recurring
-“<i>but</i>” would bring forth his reasons fast and
-with force. His style of argument was strong and
-clear. He built his position, as it were, a series of
-steps. Each point was connected with the one before and
-after it. Great as was his love of telling stories, he
-never used them in his speeches at all. Beside the
-influence of his manner, he won upon a jury by his
-reputation. Every one believed him honest, and the
-jury men would sit and look up into his face, drinking
-every word he uttered for the truth. Henry Clay in fa<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span>mous
-for the number of murderers whom he saved
-from a merited doom. I only know of one case where
-Lincoln argued eloquently against his conscience, and
-then he was pleading for the sin of one who had been
-his friend and benefactor. He may even then have
-been honest in his plea, believing the boy innocent.</p>
-
-<p>In the Fall of ’58, two men, in a grocery store
-at Sadorus, engaged in a discussion upon politics,
-became angry, and one, snatching from the counter by
-his side, a four pound weight, threw at the other and
-killed him. Ward H. Lamon was at the time Prosecuting
-Attorney. The widow of the murdered man engaged
-O. B. Ficklin to aid in the prosecution. Messrs. Lincoln
-and Swett were the lawyers for the defense. When
-the time came for the presentation of the argument, Mr.
-Lincoln, in his turn made his speech. As the trial had
-proceeded, he had become more and more persuaded
-that his client deserved severe punishment. His speech
-was a failure. Judge Davis told him so afterwards,
-and he acknowledged it. Swett, however, took his turn
-with a fine argument and the murderer was let off with<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span>
-a few years in the penitentiary. At another time, I
-am told, having become convinced that he was on the
-wrong side of the case, he was missing when called
-for to make his argument. The messenger, sent to search
-for him, found him in his room. “Tell the Judge,”
-he said, “that I am busy and can’t come”.</p>
-
-<p>His humor oft times served him in a trial. I
-find in the “Urbana Union” for March, 4, 1858, a story
-of his own, to the point. A crowd of men were in an office
-discussing the fight in Congress upon the “Lecompton Constitution”,
-when Lincoln entered and was asked his
-opinion on the matter. Having seated himself in a
-chair, and having thrown one leg over the other in his
-usual way, he said he could best illustrate his opinion
-by means of a story. There were two men, he said, in
-a neighboring county, who had often met at “logger-heads”.
-One day, after an earnest discussion at their border
-line, one of them, in his anger, leaped over the fence
-and gave the other a sound thrashing. “I was engaged
-for the defense. The witness for the prosecution
-was a very talkative fellow, not confining himself<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span>
-to the mere matter of the questions put, but willing to
-tell all he knew. When it came my turn to question
-him, I asked: ‘You say you saw the fight?’</p>
-
-<p>‘Yes, stranger, I reckon I did’.</p>
-
-<p>‘Was it much of a fight?’</p>
-
-<p>‘I’ll be darned if it wasn’t stranger, a right smart fight’.</p>
-
-<p>‘How much ground did the contestants cover over?’</p>
-
-<p>‘About one acre’.</p>
-
-<p>‘About one acre’, I repeated musingly; ‘well now witness,
-tell me, wasn’t that just about the smallest crop of
-a fight off, of an acre of ground that you have ever
-heard of?’ ‘That’s so stranger. I’ll be gol-darned if
-it wasn’t.’ The jury” said Mr. Lincoln, giving his
-leg a twitch, and waiting for the roar of laughter to
-subside, “fined my client just ten cents”.</p>
-
-<p>At another time, Oliver Davis, now judge at
-Danville, was opposed to him in a case. Davis, in reviewing
-his opponent’s argument, repeated again and again;
-Mr. Lincoln holds <i>this position</i>, Mr. Lincoln holds <i>that</i>
-position. Finally Lincoln looked up from where he
-sat, and asked, with a twinkle in his eye: “That<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span>
-was a curious position, wasn’t it?” Coming from any
-one else, so little a thing had not been noticed; but as
-it was, the question destroyed a great deal of the power
-of Mr. Davis’ argument.</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Lincoln never cared to accumulate
-wealth. His charges were always reasonable. There was
-once in our midst, a worthy carpenter by the name of
-Campbell, who had taken a horse in part pay for some work
-he had done. The horse proved to be unsound; and Campbell
-sued the man from whom he had obtained it.
-Lincoln took the case for him, and worked hard all
-of one day trying it. “I was standing by,” says one, “when
-Mr. Campbell asked what the fee was. ‘Five dollars will
-do, I guess,’ said Lincoln.” At one time, Lincoln had a
-case for the Illinois Central Rail-road Company, and won it.
-He made his fee one thousand dollars, which the company
-refused to pay. He sued the company for
-the money; and during the trial of the case, several
-lawyers called upon to testify to the value of the
-service rendered, placed it at five thousand dollars.</p>
-
-<p>There was a man for some time residing in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span>
-Urbana, who used often to speak of Lincoln’s kindness
-to him. It seems that the man had become involved
-in a law suit upon the result of which much depended.
-He went to several lawyers, who refused to take his case
-because they doubted his ability to pay. He came to Lincoln
-and laid the matter before him, showed him that
-if he lost the case, he was a ruined man. Lincoln undertook
-the case for him, and won it. One day the man
-met Lincoln on the street and stopped him to thank
-him for his services&mdash;said he could not pay him then,
-and did not know how soon he would be able. “That’s
-all right, my friend, that’s all right” said Lincoln, as
-he grasped the man by the hand. “And would you
-believe it,” the client would add, with tears in his eyes,
-as he told the incident, “He left five dollars in my
-hand.”</p>
-
-<p>When engaged in an important case,
-Lincoln was all absorbed in his work. He would
-walk along the street lost in thought; and would
-not even notice his best friends. “I have seen him,”
-says one, walk back and forth in the court yard re<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span>gardless
-of every thing around him.</p>
-
-<p>He was a very careful lawyer. Long as
-he had practiced, he would never write the simplest
-forms without his book before him. He was very kind to
-young men just beginning their study. One time, when
-others were laughing at one who was much embarrassed,
-in making out some forms new to him, Lincoln
-arose, and speaking kindly to him, showed him what
-he needed to know. He even spoke encouragingly to
-those who were just beginning their practice.</p>
-
-<p>Lincoln made several speeches in our county.
-In the Fall of 1856, he spoke from the court house
-in Urbana, upon the constitutionality of the action of
-Congress with regard to slavery in the territory. The county
-paper of the time speaks highly of the effort of its power
-and logic, and of the speaker’s ability.</p>
-
-<p>At one time he spoke in what is known as the
-goose-pond church, a little building near the Doane
-House. During his speech, he had occasion to read from
-some paper which he had in his posession. His eyesight
-was beginning to fail him; and it was with<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span>
-great difficulties that he could see to read. He held
-the paper off at arm’s length, and then drew it to him,
-moving it back and forth. Finally some one back in
-the crowd yelled out: “Put on your specks.” “Ah,” said Lincoln
-reaching out his long bony arm, far as he could,
-“My eyes are all right, but my arm is too short.”</p>
-
-<p>The most important speech that Mr. Lincoln
-ever made here, was upon Sept. 24, 1858, in the old
-fair ground. Douglas was here, and spoke upon the
-23rd. Lincoln’s speech was made in reply to the one
-he gave. Mr. Lincoln arrived, and was received at
-the Doane House platform, on the afternoon of the
-23rd. It was in regard to the occasion that a characteristic
-letter was written to Mr. Cunningham, who
-had invited Mr. Lincoln to speak here. The letter
-was written from Ottawa. “I crossed swords,” it read
-“here today with Douglas, for the first time. The fire
-flew some, but I am happy to say that I am still
-alive.” In the evening, after his arrival, Lincoln was
-the guest of the Champaign (then West Urbana) Republican
-club. The night was passed at Mr. Baddely’s, the large<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span>
-brick building across the street from the Episcopal church.
-Until a late hour, the house and yard were filled
-with citizens. Speeches were made and music had in
-abundance. On the 24th, at 10 o’clock, the procession
-formed at the park to march to Urbana. It was the
-finest procession Champaign has ever witnessed. The deep
-interest taken in the occasion is made more apparent,
-when we remember that the time of the year was the worst
-possible for the getting together of a crowd; that the
-county fair had just closed, having filled three
-days with excitement, that there was scarcely a family
-in the county, in which there was not some sickness;
-and that Douglas had drained the country the day before.
-The crowd was immense. “The procession, led by
-the Urbana Brass Band, German Band and Danville Band,
-over sixty young ladies on horse-back, with their attendants,
-thirty-two of whom represented the states of
-the Union,” was over two miles in length. All proceeded
-to the old fair ground, where a basket picnic was
-held. “Have the dinner first,” said Lincoln to the
-officer of the day: “Folks will listen to me better for it.”<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span>
-The table at which Lincoln sat was well loaded; and
-the best of the luxuries were placed around his plate.
-He, however, chose out a turkey leg and biscuit and began
-to make his meal upon these. Looking around, he
-saw behind him an old lady known as “Granny Hutchinson,”
-standing looking longingly at the feast. “Here
-Granny” said Lincoln springing from his seat, “you have
-my place.” And the kind hearted orator sat back upon
-the root of a tree and finished his turkey leg and biscuit,
-while “Granny” enjoyed a bountiful dinner.
-Thus the man’s kindness of heart showed itself everywhere.
-In his speech, he began by asking if Douglas
-had made his point on that; and having found
-what arguments the senator had used, he proceeded to
-answer them in his clear, logical manner.</p>
-
-<p>Douglas used oft times to abuse Lincoln’s
-character, accusing him of having kept a saloon.
-To such personalities as this, Lincoln seldom deigned
-to reply. It was in one of his speeches made here
-that he said: “Douglas has accused me of having
-kept a saloon. But I have never before mentioned<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span>
-that during that time, he was my best customer.
-While I served on one side of the counter, he served
-on the other.”</p>
-
-<p>On Sept. 6, 1858, Lincoln spoke at Montville.
-One writing from that place says: “About 10 o’clock,
-hearing that the delegation from Champaign County
-was approaching town, a company of thirty-two young
-men on horse-back, with flags in their hands, under
-the best of martial regulations, galloped out to
-meet the Champaignese, whom they found in strong
-numbers making a procession nearly a mile long, headed
-by two bands of music.”</p>
-
-<p>Our people took a great interest in Lincoln’s
-political career. It was at Bloomington that a
-resolution was passed, previous to the senatorial conflict,
-that we want a <i>big</i> man, with a <i>big</i> heart and
-a <i>big</i> intellect to represent this our <i>big</i> state. At
-our own county convention in June ’58, the following
-resolution was adopted: “That the Hon. Abraham Lincoln
-is our first, last and only choice to fill the vacancy
-to occur in the U.S. Senate on the fourth of March next:<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span>
-that we are jealous of his honor and rights; and that we repudiate
-all influence whether coming from home or abroad
-to thwart us in this cherished and unalienable
-purpose of the Republican party of this state.”</p>
-
-<p>Then the thought came that Abraham Lincoln
-might be our president. “We had the pleasure,” says
-the editor of the “Central Illinois Gazette”, published at
-the time in Champaign, “of introducing to the hospitalities
-of our sanctum, a few days since, the Hon.
-Abraham Lincoln. Few men can make an hour pass
-away more agreeably. We do not pretend to know,
-whether Mr. Lincoln will ever condescend to occupy
-the White House or not: but if he should, it is a comfort
-to know that he has established for himself a character
-and reputation of sufficient strength and purity to
-withstand the disreputable influences of even <i>that</i>
-locality.”</p>
-
-<p>Speaking of Lincoln’s honesty, the same editor
-relates an anecdote. It was in Springfield, during
-the session of a Douglas-Democratic convention.
-Any man used to wire pulling would have been<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span>
-on hand with his schemes. Lincoln was seen standing
-in a direction opposite from the convention; and
-when asked where he was going, replied that it was
-to attend the funeral of an old neighbor.</p>
-
-<p>A point worthy of notice in Lincoln’s character
-is his temperance. While it was the custom of
-the lawyers of his association to drink, he never
-drank with them. Once in a while he would play
-a game of billiards. “I remember” an old citizen
-tells me, “the first game I ever played with him.
-When it came my turn to play, he said to me in
-a very legal-like manner: ‘now if this were my
-case, I would hit this ball, make it roll against that
-one, have it hit the cushion, and then roll back against
-the third ball there’.”</p>
-
-<p>The last words of Mr. Lincoln in our county,
-were uttered Feb’y. 11, 1861, at Tolono. He had been
-elected President of the United States, and was on
-his way to Washington. Secession in the South had already
-begun its work; and all eyes were turned towards
-the coming President. In passing through Tolono, in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</a></span>
-response to applause, which hailed his appearance upon
-the car platform, he said: “I am leaving you on an
-errand of national importance, attended, as you are
-aware, with considerable difficulties. Let us believe,
-as some poet has expressed it: ‘Behind the cloud, the
-sun is still shining.’ I bid you an affectionate farewell.”
-The train moved on and vanished in the East; and
-when next it returned it bore the form of Abraham
-Lincoln, cold and still, wrapped in black; while his
-soul had pierced “<i>the cloud</i>” and entered into the
-sunlight beyond.</p>
-
-<p>Abraham Lincoln was not a man of great
-intellect, but of rich heart powers. In the dark hour
-of our nation’s need he came, found his place and
-filled it. “Melancholy dropped from him as he
-walked”; yet all who knew him loved him. There
-are old grey-headed men and women in our midst,
-who speak his name with affection; for have they not
-known him, heard his voice, felt the grasp of his hand,
-and comprehended his great, warm heart. Such a
-man has lived and moved among us.</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
