The lady of the departed statesman does not choose to trouble herself with politics, and within the past few weeks she has wrought, and exhibits to her friends, . large and splendid curtain ot crochet work, done with her own hand, "and without the aid of glasses" adding that "this was but the first of ten which she had under taken"
