It was not easy to find n "friend" possessed of the requisite knowledge to conduct such n proverbially delicate affair; in fact, at this time there was but onr person to or about Springfield who was supposed to btve the required experience, and the imputation waa founded upon vague tradition rather than from any absolve knowledge.

LINCOLN SAT IN THE STERN the seconds returned to Alton. Tha belligerents then, in separste skiffs, proceeded across the river. Mr. Lincoln sat in ths stern ot tha boat, beside his second. As the stalwart oarsman breasted the waves of the Mississippi, Mr. Lincoln said that his situation reminded him of a story. He suggested-that he thought he felt like a Kentuckian he knew who volunteered in tbe war of 1812. In accordance with the custom of those days, his sweetheart embroidered him a bullet pouch and bell and proposed to the Incipient hero that sbe would work on the belt the motto. Victory or Death. Oh. no." replied the volunteer, isnt that ray-th- er too strong? Spose you put Victory or Be Crippled?" Arriving at the place selected for the combat, the forms and ceremonies in such cases being punctiliously insisted on by the doctor, Mr. Lincoln and his antagonist took their assigned places, with the earthwork between them; but before the word was given for the duel absolutely to commence, what waa apparent to the least observing from the first, vlx., that, according to the arrangements, Mr. Lincoln had the advantage, now that the combatants stood face to face, became doubly apparent Mr. Lincolns antagonist had neither the stature nor length of limb fairly to meet his foe; while Mr. Lincoln, with his long body tod wonderfully long arm, had nothing to do but reach across the barrier and cut up his helpless antagonist at hia leisure, and he could do this with as little risk of personal danger to himself as he did when he slaughtered the unoffending tree limbs that lined his way to the field of honor. The farce of Lincoln's plan of duel now became evident to all present As might have been expected, the friends of tbe challenger promptly protested, remonstrated against ths inequality ot terma, and demanded a parley. The doctor, the oracle of the field, replied that ths terms were "most solemnly agreed upon" by ell the parties necessarily Interested, and that according to the thirty-si- x articles of Galway, they could not be amended or altered without commencing the duel over again from the very beginning, and, to reach this point "o beginning, the challenge must first be withdrawn. After much discussion, this practice was adopted, and the way was made, according to the thirty-si- x articles, for mutual explanations. Thereupon, as might have been expected, all differences wers soon amicably settled. Out of "after discussions" some of the parties connected wth the duel as friends or spectators edified ths community, through partisan Journals, with sharp explanatory card. One or two other similar affairs" wers talked of, but they never came to a head; and as n consequence the whole matter soon faded out of the publlo mind; and thus ended Mr. Lincolns first and only affair of honor. It was Mr. Lincolns pleasure, long years after, to confer n brigadier generals commission upon his antagonist '(already distinguished for his courage nnd honorable wounds in ths Mexican Far), who, in the bloody struggle to Virginia, made gallant stand against Stonswall Jackson in ths valley of the Shenandoah.
