Court Gossip.

JENKINS, of The Washington Star, describes
a estate dinner at the White House" pal
ace) on Tuesday, at which the royal LIN
coin family-of course including the lately
promoted Captain ROBERT and 'TAD"-pre-
sided, and thirty-three oftheir high mighti-
nesses, Mister and Missus SHoDDY, partici-
pated. SAYS JENKINS:
'Dinner was served at Z o'clock in the
state dining room of the White House, the
table extending the entire length of the
room. Mrs. Lincoln occupied seat at the
center OF the table, with the Presidentimme-
diately opposite. Senator Harris had the
honor of being assigned to a seat on Mrs.
Lincoln's right, while Senator Foot occu-
pied position on her left. Mrs. Hale was
at the left of the President, and Mrs. Foot
on his right.
"Mrs. Lincoln was dressed with exquisite
taste, and presided with much grace. She
wore white Grape dress, with pufings and
trimmings of lilac; an exquisite wreath of
lilac and white flowers, and pearl jewelry,
&C., to correspond. The other ladies were
also most elegantly attired.
'Scale, at the head of the Marine Band,
furnished some efhis best selections of mu-
sic, and the dinner was gotten up by the
celebrated French caterer, Jacobs. The
dinner table was handsomely ornamented
with floral vases, the handiwork of the
Presidents head gardener, Mr.. George
Mcleod. Altogether it was most elegant
entertainments. The guests did not separ-
ate until near IL o'clock"

A Double Murder.
From The Cleveland Leader. ]

We havejust been apprized at a very late
hour, of the most shocking, malignant, dew
ilish deed of violence which we have ever
been called upon to detail to the public.
Onr informant gave us the principal facts
of the horrible tragedy, but there are,
doubtless, fuller particulars to be had when
the excitement of the hour shall have, in
some degree, abated.
The leading points are these: A great
effort is being made in Stow Township to
clear that sub district from the coming
draft. For the purpose of obtaining the
requisite funds, the young men ofthe town
ship have been devoting themselves, for
from men-Republicans and Democrats-of
the district. They had appealed to one
VIM. Graham, wealthy farmer, living near
Stow Corners, for aid, and he had promised
to give one hundred dollars. But when
two young men Of the district called on
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-03-11

him to obtain it, he refused utterly to pay.
AS he was bound by his promise, they de-
termned that he should make good his
pledge; but before proceeding further they
returned to take counsel with their as
sociates. It was resolved that twenty
young men of the district should call on
him, and they accordingly mounted, yester-
day afternoons, and were riding over to his
farm, when at some distance from it, they
were suddenly ordered to halt by this BUSH
whacker, VIM. Graham, who had heard of
their intentions, and had armed himself
with two revolvers and double-barreled
rifle, and planted himself in a covert near
Stow Corners. The armless cavalcade halt
ed, when Graham fired and brought down
one of the men with a shot in the left side.
He Immediately shot another through the
head, killing him instantly. u HYsf
The young men, as they were defenseless,
scattered and dashed away. The fiend, not
content with his deed, approached the man
first shot, who was still living, although his
wound was mortal, and dispatched him
with shot in the forehead.
A surgeon was summoned post-haste by
the young men, but Graham stood over the
corpses and would not allow him to come
near, threatening to kill him if he made the
attempt. He declared that he would give
himself up to the Trustees of the town if
they would come with flag of truce and
pledge him protection.
Presently the Sheriff Of the county, with a
posse, had arrived from Akron, whence they
had been summoned, but on their approach
Graham ran, and was captured only after re-
ceiving shot in his right arm, which COM
pletely disabled him. He was then arrest
ed and taken to Akron, where he was put
in confinement.

How TO PREVENT A DIvoRCE.-When
the senior Jonathan Trumbull was Govern
or of Connecticut, gentleman called at his
house. requesting to see His EXccllency in
private. Accordingly he was shown into
his Sanctum SdnCtOr1gn and the Governor
came forward to meet Squire W., saying
Good morning, sir, am glad to see you"
Squire w. returned the salutation, adding
as he did so, 81 have called upon very un-
pleasant errand, sir, and want your advice.
My wife and DO not live happily together,
and / am thinking of getting divorce.
What do you advise, sir?"
The Governor sat few minutes in deep
thought, then turning to Squire W., said |:
slow did you treat Mrs. W., when you we're
courting her? And how did you feel to-
wards her at the time OF your marriage ?"
Squire w. replied, II treated her as kind as
l could, for l loved her dearly at that time"
"Well, sir" said the Governor, 'go home
and court her now just as you did then, and
love her as when you married her. Do
in the fear of God for one year, and then
tell me the result" The Governor then
said, 'Let us pray" They bowed in
pray er and separated.
When year had passed away, Squire w.
called again to see the Governor and grasp
ing his hand, said: II have called, sir, to thank
you for the good advice you gave me, and to
tell you that my wife and | are as happy as
when first we were married. l cannot be
grateful enough for your good COUNSEL"
IL am glad to hear it, Mr.. W., and hope that
you will continue to court your wife as long
as you live" The result was that Squire
w. and his wife lived happily together to
the end of life. Let those who are thinking
ofseparation in these days go and do like
wise.

End of the oynl ladies' League.

The loyal ladies at Washington, some two
years ago, after preambing that the wo-
men of l776 had refused to buy imported
goods, thus calling off George the Thirds
revenues gallopped to the conclusion that
they would take the same course-forget-
ting how President Lincoln's revenues
must suffer. They resolved to patronize
American goods. G., to keep citizens at
home at work, on dear and poor gloves, and
silks and articles of dress heretofore bought
cheaply abroad-when every man was
wanted in the field and every soldier was
needed for the country.
The home manufacturers profited by this
resolve to increase their prices and their
immense profits. After two years ofp1tial
trial. the agent of The Association writes:
The ladies must see, | think, that it is
their duty hereafter to buy, not american
goods, but aoeH made goods, wherever they
can be found, giving the preference to
American when of good quality, and open
ly sold as such. 1t is folly to help few
INSCRIPTIONS men to build up large for
tunes at our own expense. shall hold my
self free to pursue economy in this way, and
| presume all other signers of the league
will do the same"
And so the Association, pulling on its
league boots of foreign make, marches into
oblivion. .
