<h3>THE ONLY DISCREDIT.</h3>
<p>A backhanded compliment of the acutest nature is credited to Lincoln
as a lawyer and gentleman. A Major Hill accused him of maligning Mrs.
Hill, upon which Lincoln denied the accusation and apologized with
"whitewash" which blacked the bystander:</p>
<p>"I entertain the highest regard for Mrs. Hill, and the only thing I
know to her discredit is that she is Major Hill's wife!"
