LINCOLN IN 1854.—HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED.

From a photograph owned by Mr. George Schneider of Chicago, Illinois,
former editor of the “Staats Zeitung,” the most influential
anti-slavery German newspaper of the West. Mr. Schneider first met
Mr. Lincoln in 1853, in Springfield. “He was already a man necessary
to know,” says Mr. Schneider. In 1854 Mr. Lincoln was in Chicago,
and Mr. Isaac N. Arnold, a prominent lawyer and politician of
Illinois, invited Mr. Schneider to dine with Mr. Lincoln. After
dinner, as the gentlemen were going down town, they stopped at an
itinerant photograph gallery, and Mr. Lincoln had the above picture
taken for Mr. Schneider. The newspaper he holds in his hands is the
“Press and Tribune.”
