AS to Mrs. Lincolns reported insanity the St. Louis
Republican says it has received letter from Chicago
from reliable source, contradicting the report and
stating that Mrs Lincoln has been boarding at Chica
go, until lately, with the family of a wealthy Mr..
Coles, and that she is now residing at the Clifton House,
corner of Wabash avenue and Washington street, in
that city The Clifton House is a boarding house on
large scale. Mrs Lincolns temper is said to be very
irritable owing perhaps to the chagrn she feels
the ingrattude of the Republican party toward her.
She dresses very plainly and deVotes much of her time
to the society Of friends who in quite handle cir
cumsances, to whom she unburdens her thoughts and
hopes and her greatest pride to be in watching
over Tad and directing bin n every proper course
