EDITOR Stor: And Mrs. Swisshelm is living
yet. Yes and sarcastic as ever. We had
thought she had learned TO hush, or at least
put bride upon her tongue" after her
ruthless attack upon President johnson. But
we were mistaken; for now she has another
SUBJECT In the person of Miss Minnie Ream,
artist OF such rare talent as to attrac the
attention OF that great American sculptor
Ciark Mills, who, having taken her as stu
dent, Is now advancing her so rapidly as
that she was the recipient of the order for a
Lincoln statue. While we have not very much
personal acquaintance with Miss Rsam, we
would take this opportunity TO say, that If she
Is pretty, and knows il, (and who can help but
Know ", wnen are they pretty) we fully be-
neye her to be a modest and discreet young lady
But was II her personal appearance. her curls
or her JewelIy, or calling upon the members at
their lodgings. or the reception room at the
capitol: that influenced them in their opin-

Congress by letting such thought escape
from my pen. Since the SUBJECT is before
tue public let us examine the case for one
moment Clark Mills was fortunate as
10 be the last artist who took a bust
OF Father Abraham while he was living
ana ana ne was so successful in this attempt as
that his bust Is protected by letters patent in
the U. =. Patent Office. Every person whom
4 have heard express an opinion pronounces
this TO be the most true and faithful likeness of
President Lincoln there is on exhibition With
such a teacher as Clarke Mills, and such a
perfect model before ner, is IL a matter of sur
prise that she should succeed. and ssCarry the
DAY over Powers and Crawford, and Hosmer
and who notP' We believe that Congress de-
cioed according to the model presented, which
was right they should do; and we think ali
sensible people, II they will take the trouble 10
examine the case, will agree with us in opinion
Also IN pronouncing the article that appeared
IN Yesterday evenings Star a base siander
unworthy TO be read; disgrace 10 her who

woman is shameful. Is il not enough that
when woman attempts II make her way in
