Whetsell and his refusal to reiustate Mr. Whftsell comes to the people o' Dorchester county like a clap of thun ner lr? m a cloudless sky.

Wise of Virginia and two other young southerners, one of whoui stood six feet four, were attending school in Washington. The morning the news of the tiring on I-'ort Sumter reached them they decided that It was thenduty to return at once to Richmond, their homo, and enlist In the southern cause. As Mr. Lincoln w?* to give a public reception that it, young Wise proposed Unit they attend, to see what sort of man the president really was. "No," said the tall fellow. "I for one won't go near the rascal." "But," urged the third youth, who at once fell In with the suggestion, "there is going to he war, and Mr. Lincoln will undoubtedly rise to great prominence. We really owe It to ourselves to know something about the mau." More abuse followed from ? the tail fellow. "Now look here," broke In young Wise, after the argument had gone on for a spell, "Fred and I here are going to that reception tonight, and you are going with us." The upshot of the matter was that 1 Uio three young men went to the re- * ceptlon and lined lip with several hun- i dred others to greet President Lincoln. y Of fll<? tlirf>i?

Ills two friends waited breathlessly for the j expected or the unexpected, they scarcely knew which. The president reached out his hand. , The tall fellow, with his hands still behind him, looked the president straight In the cyo and with a proud toss of the hend passed on without taking the ^ outstretched hand. ( Across the sad face of the president flashed a look of surprise and inquiry, ( and then a merry twinkle leaped to his v eyes, as he had divined the cuuse of the slight. j "Just a moment, young man," ho j said, as the tall follow was passing on. s "IIow tall are you?" I "I?I?I'm six feet four," stammered v the youth, utterly ustonished at the j question. "1 believe I can match you." returned * the president. And then and there, J before the assembled throng, he turned back to back with the southerner to do- * terinine which of the two was the tall- j er. The southerner outmatched the president. 3 "Young man, I can't match you," the ^ president was forced to admit, "but," , he added, putting out his hand again T ntwl l.-lmllu tl?o < l?.. twiti&tj nil yj inu i;,) ur* \J i III*: J young follow.
