Every particle of dress was white from her
parasol to her slippers, and as it was so
well known that she was harmless, fra
gile being, and as the story went, insane
through unre9uitted love, ,sher appearance
hardly created notices, except that of stran-
gers. Suddenly she disappeared. .and it was
said her friends had placed her in the
Longview Asylum, which was true. Yes
terday an apparation appeared on Fourth
street, Enthusiastically clad in bright yellow
dress. 1t was the slight petite figure elas-
tic as Of yore, but the hair was silvered
with age, and Time had stamped his foot
steps on her once comely face. 1t was the
"Lady in White in a new dress. DR.:

her harmless weakness, which is to prone

MUsIc.-A drunkard was once reeling
along a street, when he passed group Of
children who were singing Sunday-school
hymn. Their happy tones arrested his at

stopped to listen. No sooner had they
finished their song than their hitherto un-
observed listener startled them with the
words z" Sing again, little girls - Tim
idly they began another hymn, but gain
ing confidence as they proceeded, they
swelled the song of jesus love for sinful
man, until. interrupted by the sobbing of
the outcast beside them, they ceased and
stole away, one by one, leaving him to his
tears.
The effect of music on the senses was
oddly and wonderfully verified during the
mourning for the Duke Of Cumberland,
uncle to George the Third. A tailor had
an order for great number of black suits
which were to be finished in very short
space of time. Among his workmen there
was one who was always singing "Rule,
Britannia" and the rest of the journey
men joined in the chorus. The tailor
made his observations, and found that the
slow time of the tune retarded the work
men in consequence, he engaged blind
fiddler, and placing him near the work.
shop, had him play constantly the lively
tune of "Nancy Dawson" The design
had the desired effect, the tailors elbows
moved obedient to the melody, and the
clothes ;were sent home within the pre-
scribed time.

Prince Napoleon Dinner At the White

Prince Napoleon Dinner At the White
House.
The Commercial has not that story right.
Some time after the dinner, Called Smith,
then Secretary of the Interior. called on
Secretary Seward. Seward" said he,
"that bill of Gautier's 1.-THE French restau-
rateur) has been sent in to me again the
old woman (meaning Mrs. l.. refuses to
authority to pay it out Of the money appro-
priated by congress for repairs, stabling,
fire-wood, gardening, etc., etc. 'Well,
Caleb" said Seward, "to avoid scandal,
we had better divide it between ourselves,
and pay it. 1t is only eighty-seven dollars
and half apice, and we can both afford
that, Think ''By Jove," said the Sec
retary Of the Interior, ''it is $500 apiece;
this bill is $780," "Well," said the Sec
retary of State, 81 do not see how that can
be; had che same guests at my dinner /;
it was prepared 10y the same man, Gautier;
if anything was different between the two
the extra cost is in my favor, for l had bet
ter wines they had at the White House,
and my bill was SITS. If this is so, will
not pay one half either, and let things take
their course" The bill was not paid by
anybody at the White House, and the res
taurateur was importunate. At last Mrs.
Lincoln sent for the Secretary of the Inte-
rior, "Mr. Smith," said she, 81 will tell
you how that bill can be settled. You see
there are three cavalry regiments stationed
on our property (the large mall back of the
White House). Now, those horses have
left heaps of manure, and it all belongs to
us. Now, you want that manure for the
public grounds, particularly those around
the White House. Now, l will sell it all
to you for 5000 for gardening purposes
You send me the money and I'll pay Gau-
ter" amy
1t is probable that Gasparin Ladoulace,
and other eminent French people, who ad-
mired the late President, would not have
presented Mrs. Lincoln with that memorial
gold medal which came over, had they
known how the bill was paid for the din
ner to Prince Napoleon World. ss,r 'f
