MORI: ABOUT - MRS. LINCOLN.
We this week present a few more extracts
from oar coteMporaries, in continuation of
those already presented in- connection with
the proffered sale of Mn. Lincoln's wardrobe.
As before, the most interesfinrand damag
ing of them come II•orit Radical sources. We
will not deny that ,we have an object in
keeping this matter before the public, and
that object, it is needless to say; is not to
damage the diameter of a woman, , even
though the severOst attacks upon her reputa
tion come front those who, in her bet
ter days, could find no words of flattery
sufficiently expresive to bestow upon her.
In all history 'there has never been a
more complete farce than the-saintly char
acter which the Radicals seek to ascribe to
Abraham Lincoln, and the time is coming
when the humbug Will be palpable to the
world. -It may he that the the-Is which are
now given currency will lead people to in
quire bow it was that if Mr. Lincoln Was the
hotIM. and patriotic. man he is claimed to
have been, be could, if not ' actually abet, , at
least blink at, such things as the Radical
press 'itemises his wife of doing during their
stay at the White House? ' In this view we
continue our extracts on the subject and
commend them to the serionsattention orate
public
A Lot oktieleer Stories.:
(Correspondence of the Boston Postl
.They tell some queer stories, these gos
sipping people do, about the lady who has
forced herself into such prominence of late,
mut if you Would like to hear them as they
are related in society, I will tell you one or
two. Trier are so much on a par with the
"little incidents" lately given by Thurlow
Weed, that they can hardly be expected to
awaken special interest, but such as they are
you are welcome to them.
When Lord Lyons represented England at
the court of the Republic, his wife had a
waiting maid who took the fancy of a cer
tain
lady'in the White house. By promises
of preferment and increased wages this wait
ing maid was induced to tratisferlerservices
from Lady -Lyons to another lady whose
name had, the same initial. She thought,
poor thing that she would have nothing to
do but exhibit hertielf about the White House,
but this delvsion was very speedily dispelled:
for it Vas only a few days before she was set
to making drawers out of the linen sheets of'
the establishment. This wounded her feel
togs so much that she soon "gave- notice" to
her employer, and When she subsequently
spoke of her 'sorrow to 'her friends, she said
that the extraordinary length of the drawers
she was employed on left no doubt in her
mind as to the person who was to have the
comfort of wearing them.
Mrs. Lincoln mink several trips tiiNew
York in the'war times, and .made some ex
tensive purchases each time she went. On
one occasion, the'proprietor of a leadinglev- I
dry and furnishing estatdishntent on Broad
way received (so the storygnes) nn order for ;
a beautiful chandelier for the White -House.
The price, of the chandelier was $300: but
soffrebedy las I was not presen t at the time Twill
not he positive about names) suggested that
the bill shOuld be made out for $lOO, and
that the difference should be made up In Jew
elry. But the gentleman to whom the pro
position was made respectfully declined to
entertain it, and I think his chandelier was
not sent to Washington.
On another occasion, a Broadway dealer,
well known throughoilt the country, was fa,
'cored - with an order for some superfine sets
of porcelain and China ware for' the national
establishment; The value of the sets was
$BOO, but-other purchases maditat the same
time brought the hill up to $2200: The store- I
keeper was requested to made the porcelain
and China ware cover the whole amount of
the bilkand, to oblige . - his customer, he did
so, The bill went to the - Secretary of the
Interior, who said to himaelf,"s22oo is a very
high price for those sets; I must look into
it." He did look into it by sending an agent
to a tare furnishing house in Philadelphia,
where the.same kind of, goods, weie sold,
and the agent went hack to Washington with
the information that the PlilltulelPhia price
of the article was $BOO. The Secretary of
the Interior then wrote to the Broadway
dealer to know , how he came to charge
$2200 for goods that were sold for $BOO in
Philadelphia, and the merchant wrote back
that lie charged only $BOO for them, andlhat
the extra $l4OO covered the purchase which
had not been specified.
Another incident, Illustrative of character,
has just occurred to ma.- Ono day Mrs. L
drove up, in front of Genin's store, under the
St Nicholas, and leaning out of the carriage,
she beckoned to one of the clerks, who was
speaking to a friend at the door, to go to her.
He knew her very well, but took no notice
of her motions. She -beckoned again, and
again, but be did not go near her. Finally
another lady, who was in the. carriage; Steyr
ped out, and walked up to him, asked him if
he knew who that lady (Mrs. L.) Was. He
replied somewhat indifferently that he did
not -mire. "Why," said she, bridling up,
I "that is Mrs. Lincoln, and she wants .yon to
I wait on her." - "I don't know any difference
between Mrs. Lincoln and the wife of a me
chanic," said the clerk. "If she will come
:into the store I will attend to her, but I am
I not employed to wait on people in . the
Street." A complaint to _Mr. Genin followed,
as ,a. matter of course, but the elerlt did not
lose his place. . •
Singular Operation 'at a Pawnbroker's
Shop in Chicago.
•
)From the Chlatgo Timer, October 18.)
Thecountry has been talking about Mrs.
Lincoln's wardrobe fortwo weeks, and form
ing various opinions as to the good taste or
policy of advertising the same for...sale. Few
persons are aware that she has for over a
year been in the habit. of visiting a certain
pawnbroker's shop in this city, where she has
sold from tithe to time various articles of
wearing apparel and table furniture; " In a
dingy shop at No. 89 Smith Wells street,
where hanging dresses suggest capital pun
ishment, and empty coat sleeves beat the air
to notify passers-by that clothes are for gale I
there. may be found some of the clothing of
Mrs. Lincoln. First, and most prominent, is
said to be the dress she wore at Ford's thea
tre, on the night of Mr. Lincoln's fosse-dna
tion. This is a canary-colored brocade, low
necked, satin dress. trimmed at the bottom
with a broad band of canary-colored plain
satin.. Mrs. Lincoln stated. When she pawn
ed the dress, that it cost SZ3S. She received
for ft $3O, Besides this, there is a common
striped chine silk dress, of gray lilac color,
which was pawned at the same time, and a
small canary-colored plume filled with a clus
ter of golden grapes, which she wore in her,
hair on the night of the assassination. These
are all that now remain. A large stock of
guodstencamising cradle quilts,, china sets,
dresses and other goods, for which the vola
tile pawnbroker thinks he paid Mrs. Lincoln
the sum of $1,300, have been sold; The dress
Worn by Mrs. Lincoln at the first inaugura
' den of her husband---e white silk—was sold
to a stage actress., A brow satin dress, with
a gold= crownonade, as Mm. Lincoln In
! formed the dealer, expressly for a tour to 80,
Pope, was pawned some time last winter, and
'sold by the broker tar the sum of Ct. A.
INS 11 , 21.031 ST,
lavender silk iirt-5.4, With brocade flower=, also
pawned , at this shoP, is now at the dyer's
for the restoration of its color,datnaged while ;
on exhibition at the shop. Severn/ other
dresses were mentioned liy the pawnbroker,
Mr. Doyle, as basing been'soM try him, the
description'orwhitit he could not give. Mrs.
Lincoln also, alsan a year ago, pawned at
thisshop &set of china which she had brought
from :Washington. A few pieces were broken
but. the remaining artielei were of the • finest
porcelain. and were sold to grace a wedding
party. Mrs. Lincoln, in making this disposal
of a conshierable portion of her wardrobe,
desired, and fin. a time succeeded, in trtins-
acting the business connected with the sale
ineog., *so Mr as the dealer was concerned.
She always made the bargains herself; and
represented that she was a lady stopping at
the Clifton house; who from some eircutnstan
crs unexrdabitat had a large quantity of
clothing that she could never Use. At one•
time she stated that she had intended to go to
Europe, but that some unfortunate occurren
ces had prevented the tour. On herfirst visit;
in connection with some articles-of clothing,
she brought a pair_ of old and faded cradle
cinitts,vt Welt, the pawnbroker says, lie bought,
not because of their value, but to encourage
the lady to deal with him more largely. On
one of these visits, the colored shiver of Mrs.
Lincoln's carriage mentioned to the broker,
incidentally, that, rs: Lincoln desired to see
him. This was the first kutimation Mr. Doyle
had of the position and character of his cos.
tooter. The negro driver called at the shop
a few dayaallerwards and inkaincd the pro.
prietor thritlais Miatretta had, ilinehtirged hint
for the unfOrlimate and nnpreuteditatethitateL .
molt. _Mrs. Lincoln used to tell this man to
whom she sold her clothes that he was the
only one in the city witlywhom she could
deal.' None of the otheß would pay her what
she thought she should have for them. On
one, occasion, calling At the store and finding
the proprietor not
he was; and se t her carriage and dri
ver
home, she inquired
where
ver after hint across 1 e bridge into the North
division. in February last she brought some
dresses to pawn, and not agreeing upon the
sum she should get for them, she drove off,
saying she should never come again. She
kept her wont; and the pawnbroker heard no
more of her until the Late announcement in a
New York paper of her more extended and
more brilliant financial operations in the
same line.
Another Furious Blast from it Radical
Source
From 11m, Mitio..a-cheekfresm, cititv! l) Don
Platt, a leadtngO~~lo Ba4leal.)
,It is difficult to conceive of ranytliing, more
humiliating tei an American citizen than the
lute conduct and correspondence of Mrs. Lin
coln, which the Democratic press has siezed
on and spread before the p - üblic with shame
less avidity. How this differs from the course
pursued by one of their raot listing fished
leaders. Senator 'Bayard had at one time
given -•him some accounts from the White
House, by a Ilepublimn. Committer of the
Senate, with the understanding that what he
determined onthe Committee would indorse.
A few days after, to the astonishment of the
Committee, the eminent Senatorretunted the
accounts marked "approved," and when ask
ed .for an explanation, said : "Cientlem en, this
woman is the wife of our President. Any
assault upon her is an attack nixm ourselves.
Let us say nothing,ahout it." In the same
spirit, the Committee from the Dense, ap
pointed to investigate the condition of the
Executive mansion, immediately subsequent
to the death'of Mr. Lincoln, suppressed the
xi:amend facts that came to, its knowledge.
Now, however, the Democratic press, in
hopes of damaging their opponents, drags
Mrs. Lincoln and her conduct before the
world.
Well, it is shameful enough, Gott knows,
but in what way it is to attach to the Repub
lican organization we are at a loss to discov
er. That 'the advertisement, so widely
made at this woman's request, exhibits not
only her greed, but the corrupt condition of
the government in which she took so prothi
nent a part; we are prepaid to admit, and in
this view it•is damaging to the late adminis
tration. But the cry of ingratitude is too
silly for refutation. It was known to the wide
circle that business or social life brought in
contact with tile Executive mansion, that its
interior was as grate, rulgar and corrupt as it
was Txuatilite for COy house lobe and' retain even
a - semblance of respectability. .The startlid
public-now reads its history in a forty thou
sand dollar wardrobe, Made up of shawls,
laces and diamonds,.the gifts of"dear friends"
—how "dear," the poor public is now realiz
ing in the minions that shameless thieves
have stolen. and aro yet stealing. The saddest
part of all this is the tarnish it casts upon
the sainted memory of the martyr President.
How was it potrale that these gifts from "dear
friends" were paid for in Inertire ogees, gitew
under the signature of Abraham Lineoln; with
out that shreted man being aware of the infa
mous character of the 'Octal and the nature e
the bargain that 'brought him into office! This
is a surmise only, but Thurlow Weed seems
determined to bring thgbusiness home to the
late President.
Mr. Weed might basic added the fact that
this refusal to approve of a bare-faced swin
dle, cost Mr. Smith his seat in the Cabinet,
Mr. Lincoln *aloe sympathizing with his wffe
In this eitraordituiry transaction. Mrs: Lin
coln was not only as unprincipled and avari
clans RR the late sale indicates, but she was
and is exCeedingly stupid and ignorant;
and yet, how are we to account for the control
she exercised over the domestic life and pub
lic affairs or the lamented President. Were
member how pained the loyal hearts of the
Union were to leant that in the darkest hour
of our national pride, when our armies were
paralyzed by imbecility, and our treasury was
being robbed.by dishonest agents, while the
artillery of,the enemy echoed through the
very balls of the capitol, a dancing, drinking
entertainment, or ball, was given at the White
House. This was shocking, but it became
horrible when the fact leaked out that, while
the noise of revelry shook the time-honored
mansion, in one of the upper chambers a
child Of the host and hostess lay dying of a
fever, that had set in and alarmed the family
physician, when the cards of invitation were
being issued. We turn away from the inner
life of this White House, that was indeed a
whitened sepulchre; in sorrowing disgust,
and feel ashamed through all our being that
the curtain was' ever lifted to let light in on
' its loathsome contents.

Colorado, are a number of beautiful valleys,
extending to the Park of Los :primes. 'Not

falls away to the north and south, giving the
Territory, ats a whole, the greatest mean de
',cation oil the continent.
EVEF,CT OS CLININTV, AND VFOET4TIOS
The limit of arborescent vegetation in Col
orado, as obtained by barometrical observa
tions, is 12.000 feet, an elevation which nearly
corresponds with the same limit in the great
mountain ranges of the globe, near the equa
tor. Thus the Sehlagintreits give the limits
of the trees on the Himalaya (about lat. ;31
deg.) at 11.800 feet ; on the Andes, within the
tropics, it is said by Uninholdt, not to Mch
11,500 feet. I believe that in Mexico alone
does It attain the elevation of 12,800 feet. On
mountains of the same, or 'even lower lati
tudes, it is much lower than in Colorado.
The Peak of Teneriffe, if I remember right
ly, has the tree line at 7,300" feet, while Mt.
Etna, (let 38 deg., nearly the same as Pike's
Peak), bears no trees beyond the elevation of
its,oo feet, and on the Swiss Alps, in hat 48
deg., it is one hundred feet lower. The pulse
of this remarkable, apparent deviation, from
physical laws, is to he found iu the great ele
vation of the greatest plateau on the globe,
which extends between the upper continents
of the Mississippi and the California coast
range, over from 12 to 20 degrees of longitude,
and front the plateau of Mexico far into the
British posseit:ions; widest between the par
allels of 40 and 42 degrees, , at an elevation of
from 4,000 to 7,000 feet. reaching its highest
point in Colorado Territory ; thus carrying
the general mean
,temperature of the whole
region far above that of smaller mountain
ranges or isolated peaks of the same altitude
/Ind wider the same latitude.,
Another cause of this higher mean tem
-perature is to be found in the absence of per
petual snows in the Colorado mountains,
which, whenever present, cannot fail ti; de
press the temperature of the regions next be
them. The snow line proper is not
reached in Colorado at all, though triassi* of
snow are found on many high points all the'
year round. It may not be uninteresting in
this connection to append a short table of el
evations. The "cities" extend front 5.300
(Denver) ,to 8,800 feet (Empire city), and a
few small towns even reach 10.000 feet (Jef
ferson, and Tarr:iill).- 'Head of Middle Park
(survey station), 8,000 feet ; heaVy timber on
eastern slope of Mount Engelman, 11,118
feet; summit of Pike's Peak, 1000 feet;

triangulation and others by baroMetrical ob

passed, and those ores from which she is yet
to be enriched remain untouched, awaiting
the development which is sure to follow the
.constrvetion of a railroad in' their vicinity.
Coal, which I place at the' head of the list,
exishi in unlimited quantities along the.east
em slope of the first range, which is earbon
ifernis in its formation. rexamined a stratum
-of this bituminous coal near }lard Serabbll,
which cropped in an aroyo, and was eight
feet thick. This bed alone overlies an area
of over one hundred square miles, and,'st range
to state, there is but one claim taken up on
the.spare named. Judge Webster, of Canon
City, showed me specimens of iron ore found
in the Wet Mountains, near by, that would
yield sixty per cent. of pun• metal, and it ex
ists in abundanae. Copper is to be found in
many places west of the first range, and ar
gentiterous ore is now being worked to ad
vantage in the mines near Breckinridge.
Gold, both in river beds, ,gulches and quartz
rocks, exists in the unstns titied regions,though
the present system of working it has really
been a curse to the Territory.

There is it fascination about gold mining
that, despite the experience taught by the ru
in of so many, yearly leads thousands of iirt
experienced men to risk their all in - wild=
speculations. 'Nearly every dollar taken
from the earth in gold requires an amount of
labor that. would produce a dollar on a farm
or in a workshop, Colorado has been a stern
teacher to many, and while giant fortunes
have been, made here, the territory bears
through its gold regions the evidences of for
tunes lost. and tither expended in vain. Men
inexperienced in mining, and companies ex
perimenting with Some imaginary philoso
pher's stone, have, as a rule.been msappoint
ed here, The wild-eat speculations, and the,
unsettled state of mining matters incident
thereto, have been very injurious to the. gold
interests. Again, men do nut stick to itlong
enough to -understand it thoroughly. One
year they are in the mines, another year driv
mg team,. and again hying to coax a crop
from a sterile soil through the agency of some
little trout stream as an irrigator, failing in
which they again become miners. Whenev
er men bare followed up mining intelligently
they have been well repaid. This year -the
mines on Cherry Creek have paid about ten
dollars per day, and California Gulch. Tarry
all, Fairplay and Cash Creek have been yield
ing fifteen dollarspr nearly an ounce per ;lay to
the hand, This is considered extraordinary,.
The great gold yields are yet to come. when
capital and skill combine to wrest it, -not
from the river bed or gulch, but from the
'grasp of the flinty quartz. There is enough
' gold in the mountains of Colorado to pay the
national debt, and then have enough left to
pave the American quarter of the New Jeru
salem, The amount required, however, for
the latter purpose need not necessarily exhaust
the mountains. •
AGRICCIZTILIit UESOMICts
Coloi - ado has long • been self-sustaining;
Along the Arkansas, corn equal to any in the
liorthena States is grown,and in its mountain
railer a good quality of wheat pays for cul
tivation. The great drawback to farming is
the want of rain, or rather the want of a
elayey subsoil to retain moisture. Irrigation
has to be depended on, and so far has proved
to be a success. The lands under cultivation
on the linerlane yield fine harvests of corn,
wheat. oats and barley. Potatoes appear to
grow better on the elevated parks, and a_fine
quality is raised on
.the streams in the St.
Luis and Sahwatch regions, though they are
too cold for corn., I saw in the 'Mexican set
tlements on the Canajos,•cabbage, beets and
all the kitchen vegetablea in abundance, and
of a good quality.

As irrigation has to be depended on in
fanning, the only lantisthat can becultivated
are those bordering on the streams, and, eon

even up the Ito:mats% sides to an elevation

As on nearly everything connected with
this region, in the East we find some misun
derstanding. I regret to state that there
.seems to be confusion in reference to the two
great railways.being built *crass the conti

ern road' is known as "The 'Union Pacific
-It is belng - built from Omaha,
Nebraska, along tv:similar latitude, and "
through the mountains on to the Pacific.
This road has great energy and wealth,
though it is to be regretted that the mountain
elevations must ever prove, along its route,
an insurmountable, barrier to winter trans
portation. The other roadis known as "The
I:nion Pacific Railway, Eastern Division," or
more popularly, as the "Kansas-Pacific Rail
road."lts eastern terminus is Wyandotte, ,
Kansas; tts destination - San Diego, from
which branches will run north to San Fran;
ciseo,,and south to Guaymas, on the Gulf of
Califtwrila. At mention of the mimes above,
it might seerrrthatthls road was the longer;
such, however, is not the case. It will in re
