Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln : by distinguished men of his time . s conference there. If in his barouche, I can see from my win-dow he does not alight, but sits in the vehicle, and Mr. Stanton comes out toattend him. Sometimes one of his sons, a boy of ten or twelve, accompanieshim, riding at his right on a pony. Earlier in the summer I occasionally saw the President and his wife, towardthe latter part of the afternoon, out in a barouche, on a pleasure ride throughthe city. Mrs. Lincoln was dressed in complete black, with a long crape veil.The equipage is of the plainest kind, only two horses, and they nothing extra.They passd me once very close, and I saw the President in the face fully, asthey were moving slow, and his look, though abstracted, happend to be di-rected steadily in my eye.

Nevertheless, we who livein his era—who have seen him, and heard him, faceto face, and are in the midst of, or just parting from, the strong- and strano-e events which he and we havehad to do with, can in some respects bear valuable, perhaps indispensable testimony concerning him. I should first like to give what I call a very fairand characteristic likeness of Lincoln, as I saw himand watched him one afternoon in Washington, fornearly half an hour, not long b
