THE MOTHER OF SCHUYLER cOLFAx.

Mrs. Matthews, the mother of the
Vice President elect, has been for sew.
eral weeks stopping with her friends in
this city.
Like the mothers of nearly all oul
great men, she is a noble woman, o!
great intellectual power. Mr.. Colfax
owes much of his successes to his moth
er, and he fully appreciates it. She is
a remarkable hale and happy old lady
and rejOices in quiet way over the sue
cess of her son.
Her only desire for his advancement
seems to be that he may be placed in a
position to do more good. At the age
of fifteen, she was married to Schuyler
Colfax the elder. At the age of seven
teen, she was left a widow, with one
child. Four months after the death Of
his father, Schuyler was born-the elder
child died in infancy.
Some years later, Mrs. Colfax was
married to Mr.. Mathews. Nearly thir-
ty years ago, the young couple, with
had been born to them, removed to New
Carlisle, Laporte county, Indiana.
Since the death of the wife of Schuv-
Ter Colfax, his mother has presided over
his home in Washington, with grace
and dignity. She will soon, so rumo1
says, be relieved from the duties of the
position by Miss Nellie Wade, of Ohio
who is to become the wife of the Vice
President before the end of the present
month. Mrs. Matthews, we are in.
formed, will continue her residence with
her son in Washington. May she live
for many years to give him wise coun-
sci, and grace the society of the capital.

human eye has ever penetrated By
whom and when was it written? There
are several lines about three inches

Miss VIRGINIA VAUGHAN.--This la

Miss Virginia Vaughan recently join
ed the club This lady is daughter of
Mr.. John c. Vaughan, formerly editor
of the Cincinnati Gazette, afterwards of
the Chicago Tribune, now of the Leav-
enworth (Kansas) Times. She resem-
bles her father. Her hair is rich and
luxuriant, and her head large and high.
In figure she has rotundity of mold
inclining to the voluptuous; her eye is
dark, large and penetrating, and the
expression of her cOuutenance indicates
intellectual effort. She is book review
er of the New York Weekly Leader. In
height she is above the medium and in
carriage she is bold and free. In con-
versation she is perhaps delicate and
slow of manner. Miss Vaughan, when
quite a young girl, Gas befalls nearly all
young woman of spirit or genius,) was
fascinated by the attraction and marvels
of the stage. She was probably fired
thereto with added ardor by the exam
pie of Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt, who
was an occasional guest of honor" at
hear fathers house on Third street, Gin
cinnati, when she flashed meteor-like
over the fashionable world, AMI attract
ed to the theater by the brightness and
intensity of her acting. Miss Vaughan
accordingly took to the dramatic pro-
feSsion, and after several months ex-
perfence she addressed herself to litera-
ry pursuits"

The Democratic majority in the three
counties carried by them is LESS THAN

Their three counties are Wyandotte
Ellis and Morris, and their majorities
are small even in this trio.
What do you say to that7
Some townships and one county-Ot.
tawa-we carry unanimously.
Such unanlmity in State was never
heard of before.
Vermont, Massachusetts, and Iowa are
mere Democratic stronghoIds.
We despair of theml
Out of twenty-five State Senators, the
Republi cans have elected twenty -four

Kansas is good State to live in.
