HOW THE PREsIDENT TREATS
SOUTHERN LADIES.

We find the following story in Wash,
ington letter to the Cincinnati Times. II
suggests many reflections:
Walking near the Executive Mansion a
few days ago, met talkative, middle
aged woman, leading small child The
lady seemed in exuberant spirits She
had evidently met with luck, and could
not restrain her feelings. She was a per.
feet stranger to me. We were both going
in the same direction. Approaching the
Western entrance Of the Treasury building,
she turned to me, and without any intro
duction, said:
81 have been fortunate to-day
"Indeed madam-how so ?" inquired,
in my blandest tone.
"Why," said she, ~ only arrived in the
city yesterday. and called on the Presi-
dent to-day, about my property in Louisi-
ana, which has been held during the war,
and since, by the Yankees, and he imme-
diately ordered itrestored to me, almost as
soon as told him about it,
Z" Is it possible? inquired. did he
not order an investigation into the circum-
stances 2" - -
"Oh, no." she replied, 3" sent my card
in to him, and in few minutes l was in

story, and be Immediately ordered my prop
erty restored to me, and gave me an order
for transportation to take me back home .
Really, that was very kind in him.
suggested. 81 have known cases where
people have to wait weeks and months be-
tore they can get their business settled,
and then he often refers them to the heads
of departments, who make still more de-
lay"
Il don't know how that is" she re-
marked, . but / suppose it was because I
was Southern woman, and he sympa-
thized with me. But | assure you he
treated me just as tell you, and gave me
an order for my passage home, which you
can look at if you want to holding out
the paper to me.)
politely declined to doubt her word,
and took for granted what she asserted
was correct. As moved off inquired,
"what was the amount of your property?
what did it consist Of
"About 500 acres of land. We lost a
great deal of cotton, which the Yankees
carried off, but / never expect to get that,
or its value, returned, My husband tried
to get the land returned to us, but be could
not, SO we thought the best thing we could
do was for me to come to Washington, and
see the President and I'm right glad
come, for he's very fine man, and treated
me so kindly.n
"YOu have reason to feel grateful to
him." / remarked, and then asking what
her name might be, she replied:
"My name is Mrs. Allen, from Lou
isiana, and | am going to New Orleans to-
night
Bowing to the fortunate lady, We separ-
ated /; she went her way and mine But
could not help thinking how differently she
was treated from some others, who liDger
for days at the Executive Mansion, seeking
an interview with his Excelleney. Ii you
want any business done here, there is
nothing like getting sharp, shreWd woman
to engineer it for you.

something about how she was enjoying herself
