large as usual, a She opportunity' was giveioer
promenading in the East Room, which present
ed a brilliant appearance: As usual, many of
the ladies wore very elegant
,costumes. Mrs.
Lincoln wore a beautiful silver-colored moire
antique, trimmed with white satin ribon, with
a handsoine black lace shawl thrown loosely
over the' shoulders. She wore lieautiful
wreath efrare but modest flowers upon her head,
and her only jewels were a necklace of pearl.
The 'President looked somewhat worn and
fatigued, but the crowd not. being as large as
usual, the hand shaking was soon over;and he
enjoyed the pleasures of the evening, as happily
as did any one of the party. It is a pleasure in
itself, to look at a man borne down with such
immense responsibilities as Abraham Lincoln,
and see him smile and be happy if only for an
instant.

In Octobir, 1861, col. Charles Angeroth, a
