1O9tOu correspondent VI s"0
Mass, Republican, makes the following
good .natuled comments upon power 10
the land which is not provided for IN the
Constitution, but may be said IN some
sense to hold sway even above the Con-
stitution
We have, for the first time in the his
tory Of Presi :ents. Presidents vile
who seems to be ambitious OF having
finger in the Government pie. Her
friends compare Mrs. Lincoln to Queen
Elizat eth 10 her statesmanlIke tastes ana
capabilities. She is by no means SIM
ple, domestic woman, but was evidently
intended by nature to mix somewhat IN
POLITICS. That she does SO is urdenlabe.
She has ere this made and unmade the
political fortunes Of men. She ls SAID TO
be much IN conversation with Cabinet
members, and has before now held cor
respondence with them on political top
les. Some 60 so far as to suggest that
the President is indebted to her tor some
Of his ideas and projects. She is very
active oman. Nothing escapes her eye.
She manages the affairs OF the White
House q do not mean State AFFAIRS with
ability, and will see to It that the "old
man" does not return to Springfield
pennies. In foreign countries her torn
Ter politics would not subject her to ad-
verse criticism, but the American people
are so unused to these things, that 1t l.
not easy for them 10 like it. Mrs Dong
las was a good deal of politician tho
she never injured her husbands position,
but rather improved it, by her social al
Iiances. Mss Lane never alluded to
politics, and Mrs. Pierce knew nothing
about them. She was probably tie most
simple hearted woman that ever p'csld
ed at the Presidents table. The word
simple" IS not used in depreciative
sense. She was pure-mlnded, unseifish,
Christian woman, and knew nothing at
all OF the world.
REMEDY roRgnE BITE OF MAD Docs.
"A Saxon forester named Gastell,
now of the venerable age of 50, nnwil
ing to take to the grave with him Sc
cret Of so much Importance, has made
public in the Leipsic Journal, the means
VIII ch he has used for fifty years, and
wherewlth he afiirms he has rescued
many human beings and cattle from the
fearful death of hydr"phobia. Take i'm
mediate ly warm vinegar or tepld water,
wash the wound clean Herewith, and
then dry it; then pour upon the wound
few drops Of hyd,ochloric acid, because
mineral acids destroy the poison OF the
saliva, by which means the latter is neu-
| trallzed.
Army UNIFORM AND NIGHT SIGNALS.
General Mcclellan has taken another
step in the way Of insuring our troops
from a repetition Of the Big Bethel and
similar bnnders. In addition to carry
ng out uniform system OF clothing for
our troops, a code OF day and night
signals has been adopted, ard it is to be
used for coun,erslgns, so that there need
I, be no more danger Of our regiments
firing into each other by mistake. 1t is
gratifying to nave a live man Ike Nc
Ilelan at the head of our army OF The
Potomac.-N. \. Ueraid.
