left her s5O0, 900 in one lump, some years ago,
not one penny OF which, you may be sure, has
her most thrifty Majesty ever touched. The
Prince Of Wales owes 900 to his upholster-

doesn't he write book? Because no can't
not even such book as the Queens. Genius

~ OF State secrets, and about the first that wo-
men would fall in love with"

dleton-Butler platform Of paying the public
debt in greenbacks. Prominent Ohio Demo-
Gratis confidently assert that there is no doubt
Of that party carrying majority Of the con-
gressicnal districts, including the eighth, next
fall. The confidence entertained on this point
is said to have been the main cause which in
duced the Democra 10 majority in the legisla-

"A member Of the subcommittee appointed
to investigate the charges against President
johnson with view to preferring articles Of
impeachment had q long conference with the
President on Sunday, and ascertained fully his
views. Mr.. johnson expressed an earnest desire
that the Investigation should be thorough, and
