J Autographs of Lincoln. t There is nothing in the Congressional | I j Libiary which actually belonged to Abra- | ! ham Lincoln except several autographs.

The autograph collection is therefore | , small, But it contains two very interest- | ! ing and characteristic papers written in j Mr. Lincoln's hand. ? i j One of them is a part of a page of the _ ; I manuscript of his last message to Con- ;; gross, which is certified to by the laie \\! John Defrees, who was public printer at i the time. It was evidently presented by \ or purchased from him. ii I It reads as follows: ji j "If the people should, by whatever J i!i | mode or means, make it an executive i Jj | duty to re-enslave such persons, another, ' ? j and not I, must he their instrument !?,> ! perform it. mr ' "In stating a single condition of peace, i 1 mean simply to say that the war will ' cease on the part of the government ! whenever it shall have ceased on the part of those who began it." ; James Blake's Request. There is a characteristic memorandum |l made by Mr. Lincoln one day upon a | sheet of White House stationery, as fol! lows: "Requests of Mr. James Blake of inI dianapoTs." "1. Capt. Aiken lie promoted. "2. Col. William H. Blake ol the bth b? I promoted. Col. John W. Blake of the Joth be promoted. '4. That himself?James Blake?have somutldng." 1 "irrortunately. we do not know whether Mr. Blake's requests for the preferment ! of himself and other members of his family were granted. Nor do we know 1 how tiie paper happened to come into the i Library of Congress. There are two eards of the President ! bearing introductions in his handwriting 1 for eertain persons to the Secretary of War. and there is a hasty note, probably i j sent to the Iowa senators by a messenger, ; reading as follows: ; "Senators Grimes and Harlan: "Would your friend Saunders be snr! i veyor general of Nevada? "A. LINCOLN." "P. S.?Answer at once." Law Paper by Lincoln. Other autographs are a bill of complaint of James li. Blagley against Isaac T.

The patent office has contributed all ! the papers and drawings connected with | the patent for a boat to be used 011 the 1 ! Mississippi by Mr. Lincoln. They include i the original application, and even the ' ' wrapper in which it was sent to tiie j j commissioner of patents at Washington j and also the receipt for the fee paid. Biography for Directory. The collection should properly begin 1> ' | with the first biographical sketch of the P | martyred President which lie wrote for ') the Congressional Directory when he Jj'I came to Congress in IS 17. It reads as p follows: h "Lincoln. Abraham, lie was born in '' Harding eount>. Ky.. February K*. ISO'J; *: I received a limited education: adopted ' the profession of law; was a captain of ; volunteers in the Black Hawk war; at ; jl one time postmaster of small tillage; four tiroes elected to the Illinois leglslaturc. and a representative in Congress " from Illinois from 1S47-I?." k There is a collection of eighty por- u i traits of Lincoln?wood cuts, litho graphs, engravings and other printed I pictures of ail sizes and forms and e types, and eight-four photographs, taken s at diff- rent periods of his life from lS4i to 1 Mi*,. u The last is a print from a negative taken by M. i!. Brady, the Washington photographer, about two weeks before ! | his death. The expression upon his face r| E^l shows the effects of his deep mental anxiety and patient endurance. ? ? Several photographs in this collection r-s are believed to be unique, and there is I( rs on? about which there is 110 doubt. It was brought to the library for sale some of'years ago by ;l stranger, accompanied 0 jie by one of Mrs. Lincoln, uniform in v e( size and mounting, and evidently taken r' by the same pho.ograplier at the same s time. r' Caricatures and Cartoons. * There is a large collection of cariea- " tures and cartoons In American papers. " and in Punch. Fun and Vanity Fair and f; .. other English publications. No earieu- j j' tures or portraits or Lincoln can be v . found in any French or German publiea- w e tlon In possession of the library. The s illustrated papers from those countries p 1 - on the shelves did not even give his por- a 'e- raits after his assassination. u J. The most famous of these cartoons is h entitled "The Nigger in the Wootlplle," h and represents Lincoln sitting upon n- E pile of wood, through the cracks of A which a iVdored man can be seen, while C he explains his policy to the bystanders. ?e A large colored lithograph represents S * his last reception at he White House, b M with the President and Mrs. Lincoln S of standing under the great chandelier in G y- the east room, surrounded by groups a in ?f famous men and women of that time.
