Mas. LINCOLN correspondent Of the
Ecening Bulletin thus sketches the future
lady OF the White House:
Doubtless your lady readers would like to
know something OF the future mistress Of the
White House Mrs. Lincoln called in the
afternoon to see the portrait that Mr.. Healey
had Just finished. She is of medium size slight,
y inclined TO emb0npolHt. and is still on the
sunny side of forty. Her face is oval, and is
as remarkable for its regular rouDed outlines as
her husbands is for aHgulartieS. This with
soft eyes, dark hair, fair complexion, small
features and mou h, makes aS agreeable com
panion as any one desires 10 see. She has a
good mOtherlV look a low, soft voice, aud ap-
pears to he Just such woman rs one would
rely on for sympathy and support. Hercarri-
age aud gestures are graceful, her manners
winning aud her address easy and dignilied.-
1t was plain to all present that it would be no
difficult task for her to preside over the court
eses OF the White House, and TO adOrn
the station. OF course your lady readers desire
to know how she was dressed. It jenkins "
will pardon the invasion Of his province, | will
undertake, from very limited knowledge Of
materials, millinery and matchmaking, to
describe what Mrs. Lincoln wore. Her dress
was a brown or oak-c)lored silk, with grayiSh
flowers aud leaves. II was made full with
founces fitted well, hung gracefully about her
person, and traiIed, bat just Il triie. Her
bonnet was Of black silk tri nmed with CHEEKY
ribbon, which with dark mixed shawl, neat
fitting gloves, and Il rich layender-cOlOred
paraSol, completed her costume. Mrs Lincoln
examined the portrait with C oSe attention, said
it was the best she had seen. but remarked
that it gave Mr.. Lincoln graver expression
than he usually wore. The artist explained
that he had frequently observed, at least he
thought he had, that very expression on Mr.
Lincoln as be had sat before him. After
another study Of the picture, Mrs. Lincoln now
thanked the artist for having delayed his de-
parture in order to afford her an opportunity
TO examine the portrait, and with IL general
and graceful obesSance to The company present
she quickly walked away, followed by her two
chubby, rosy-faced brght-eyed boys, Bil.aged
about eleven, and Tom, otherwise called "Tat$, y
or Tatsey," aged about five years. Bob, the
Prince of Rails" is decoronsly pursuing his
studies at Harvard University. This is all OF
the Lincoln famiy-the President elect, his
lady, and their three boys.

The crown worn by the Queen of Great

composed of hoops Of silver, which are
covered and concealed by pre-

diamonds on the top of it. In the centre
Of this cross is magnificent sapphire
In front Of the crown, above the rim, i
another Maltese cross, in tho middle Of
which is the large unpOlished ruby which
once graced the coronet Of the ohivalrous
Black Prince, and underneath this in the
circular r,m, is another immense sapphire
The arches enclose cap OF deep purple,
or rather blue velvet; and the rim of the
crown, at its base, is clustered with bril-
lants, ana o'namented with ..Jqsur de lis
and Maltese crosses equally rich. There
are many other precious gems -emeralds
and rubies, sapphires and small clusters
of drop pearls Of grea! price. The crown
is altogether valued al over half a million
of dollars. Indeed, we're it possible to re
collect and again bring together such pre-
cious stones, this estimate would fall
much below their intrinsic value. The
old crown of England, made for George
III, weighed upwards OF seven pounds
but notwlths anding this gorgeous display

the present crown only w-ighs nneteer
ounces and ten pennyweights. 1t meas

circle to the upper cross, and its diamete
at the rim is five inches.
