of the President elect, who is knowu now as "Prince Bob," is destinad to make his mark and be romein bered by tho puople wherever he goes. Of tho many good things told of tuis boy in Buffalo, on tiaturday, is the followiug: A few days since when Mrs. Lincoln was on her way froin New York, attended by her sou Robert, she found herself in Bufl'alo uiinus a pass over the State Line ïtoad. For that link in the chain of railways between New York and Springtield no provisión had been made. At'ter Mrs. Lincoln had taken her seat in the cars at Buffalo, for the West her son Itobcrt eutered tho office of II. N. Brown, lisq., the geutlemauly Superintendent of the Stote Liuo.lJailroad, and inquired if Mr. Brown was in. Mr. Browa responded, and inquired what was anted? His iuterrogator addressed kim in substantially the following language. "jMy name is Bob Lincoln; I'm a sou of Old Abc - the old woinan is in thfi cars raising h-11 about her passes - I wish you would go and attend to her." Mr. iirown very promptly filled out the requisito papers to enable Mrs. Lin coln and family to ride over his road without payment of fare and delivered tliem to her. It is probable that "the old woman" gave Bob no further trouble about passes on that trip. - Rochester Advertitser, JS3L" That fumous kinsmon in song and partners in business have their ovvn iun somutimes is evident frtm the iollowing incident. General Morria vvrotü in a lady's Album : "The hcart ihut is given to mnny Will nev;r bc coaslani to ony." To which Willis added : "But what do you know ot the fun, Ii you only are constant to one 1" It would bu diffiomt to instance any thing that so concsely churacterizes tho puculiaritics of e ich mouiber of tbis i wel] kuowri literary tinn.
