AN OLD MAID IN LINCOLN'S EYES Remarkable Letter Emancipator Wrote To Be Sold. WCQING THRUST UPON KIM Pieced In an Embarrassing Position as Result of a Rash Agreement, He Later Penned Grotesque Account of the Lady and Unexpected Outcome of the Strang? Romance Major William II. Lambert, civil war veteran, who died in Philadelphia June I. 11112. ?m ue?! the Onest Abraham Lin coln and William M. Thackeray collec tions in existence. Owing to his death they bare come into the public market and will be sohl at auction. Perhaps the item of greatest general interest In part one-is the rive pnge quarto letter written by Lincoln to Mrs. Orvllle II. Browning, telling how he mnde love to Mary S: Owens, after ward Mary S. Vineyard, asked lier to marry him aud was rejected. The let ter, which is worn at the folds. Is dated Springfield, April 1, 1S3S. Lin coln first met Miss Owens*in 183.'! at the house of Mrs. ltennet Able, lier sis ter. The letter reads in part: "It was then. In the autumn of 1830. that n innrrled lady of my acquain tance (Mrs. Able) aud who was a great friend of mine being ubout to pay n visit to her father and other relatives residing in Kentucky proposed to me that on her return ahe would bring n sister of hers with her on condition that I would engage to become her brother-in-law with nil convenleait dis patch. I had seen the said sister some three years before, thought ber intelli gent and ugrceable and saw no good objection to plodding through lifo band In band with, her. "A Trifle Too Willing." "Time passed on. The lady took ber Journey aud in due time returned, sis ter in company, wire enough. This stomached me a little, for it appeared to me that her coming so readily show ed that she was a trifle too willing, but on reflection it occurred to me that she might have been prevailed on t?y ber married sister to come without any thing concerning me having been men tioned to ber. "In n few days we bnd on Interview, and. although I bad not seen ber be fore, she did not look as my Imagina tion had pictured her. 1 kuew she was 'oversized, hut now she appeared a fair match for Falstnff. I knew'she was celled an 'old maid.' aud I felt no doubt of tbo truth of at least hair of the appellation. A kind of notion ran in my head that nothing could hare commenced nt the huso of Infancy and reached her present bulk in less than thirty-live or forty years, aud, in short, t was not at nil plcused with her. j "But what could I do? 1 had told ber sister that I would take her for better or for worse, and 1 made n point of honor and cousctence In all things to stick to my word. I "At once 1 determined to consider .her my wife. aud. this done, all my i powers of discovery were put to woru in search of perfections in ber which t might be fairly set off against her de fects. 1 tried to Imagine ber hand some, which, but for ber unfortunate mrnnji>noyi wib iictnnllv trno. Unexpected Developments. "After all my sufferings upon this deepiy interesting subject, bere 1 um. wholly, unexpectedly, completely out of the 'scrape.* and I now want to know If you enn guess how 1 got out of If?otit clear iu every sense of the term?no violation of word, honor or conscience. I don't believe you can guess, nud so I lua.v oa well tell you at once. As the lawyer sa.vh, it was dono In the manner followlug, to wit: After 1 bud delayed the matter as long as 1 thought 1 could in honor do I concluded I mb t as well bring it to a consummation .vitbout further de lay, aud so I nv -tered my resolution and made the t ?posal to ber direct: but,' shocking i.. relate, she answer ed 'No.' "At Orst i supposed she did It through an . .fectntion of modesty, which I tb* -ht but ill became her tinder tlte * >-collar circumstances of her case. I t on my renewal of the charge I t und she repelled It with greater fl^ .mess than before, I tried It ngulu with the name success, or. rather, with the same want of success I finally was forced to give it up. nt which 1 very unexpectedly found my self mortified almost beyond endur nnce. And to cap the whole I then for the first time begun to suspect that I was really a little In lore with her. But let It go. I'll try and outlive It Oth ers have been made fools of by the girls, but this can never with truth be said of me. I moat emphatically in this instance made n fool of myself. I have now come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying, and for this reason I can never be satisfied with any one who would be blockhead enough to bare me."

Is hostile on the whole to American interests In Mexico, Costa Itica and some of the South Amer ican land. This, he said, was hot true, because the Pearsons had extensive business associations in the United States.

Prince William, the present bead of the house, married In 180S Princess Pauline of W?rttemberg. The house of Runkel is one of the oldest In Eiiroi?e. dating back to 1220. The title of Wied was derived by id herliance of half uf the county of Wledj named after n small river, an affluent of the Rhine, through the marriage of Thierry IV. of Runkel with Anastasia, daughter of John II.. count of tsem burg-Wied. In the fifteenth century. It In expected that Prince WiUhryr? will ascend the newly created throne of Albania some time In February. He xhas. hesitated uliout acccptlug the throne and has made bis ncccptance conditional upon certain stipulations, chief among which Is that the great powers shall sec ore him an annuity for life in case he should bo forced from the Albaninn throne. This shows that he does not consider bis tenure thereof In the light or a fixture, and one cannot help recalling In this con action tbe reranrk mode by Prince Rl*mnrck to King Charles of Roumanie when, as n mere prince of Uohensol k-rn. he called upon hltn to ask hla'ad vice attodt accepting tbe crown of Itodtihinla. -Take It." replied Itlamarck.
