A New EDITION OF MRs COBB. - Every
body remembers the case of Mrs. COBB the
pretty patdon brokeress, in this city herrepu-
ted intrigues and her good standing with the
epicurean as well as constitution-loving Pres
ident of these states. Mrs Cobb having had
her day, has been succeeded by another of
her class, on whom double portion of the
spirit of her predecessor seems to have de-
scended. The on dit in reference to the lady
and her relations with the President (who has
aweak side for the attractions of fascinating
ladies as for the fattery of democratic place
men, and is not so much Of Platonist as
guardsman of the constitution) runs as fol-
lows. Some time early in the present year
General of volunteers from Indiana went to
Southern city as a government official.
Not long after arriving at his post he became
fascinated with lady much more fair than
conscientious, and much more attractive and
accomplished than of good repute. The
General died in few months after his
marriage, and early last October the widow
came here ostensibly TO settle her husbands
affairs, but in reality to play on a larger
scale the role Of Mrs Cobb. She took rooms
at the Metropolitan Hotel, and speedily man
aged to make herself famous Being ev-
identity " lady of education,' possessing all
the elements Of attractiveness, brunette
with two very bright eyes, handsome fg-
ure, fascinating demeanor, - desirable, dis
tinguished. celebrated, - and conducting
herself with that freedom and abandon which
so become and grace our modern civilization,
she speedily became an object of interest.
BY means not necessary to be mentioned,
she became n frequent visitor at the White
House. The report goes that she has been
instrumental in getting large numbers Of
claims allowed and appointments at the
hands Of the President. \ woman of confess
edly bad character, she Is said to possess to-
day more influence with the President than
the famous Mrs Cobb, and her intimacy
with the President is equally notorious Her
profits from the results of her influence with
the epicurean President have enabled her to
increase the magnifcence of her establish
ment. She has since taken rooms at Will
ards, and every day a splendid equipage
conveys her from the hotel TO the White
House Such is said to be the role that this
second edition of Mrs. Cobb is enactng
and the story comes ina pretty reliable shape
The name of the lady has been furnished me

should be stopped, and agricultural imple-
ments should take their place. that no Gov
ernOr or Legislature of States or Territories
be permitted to call out and equip troops for
the purpose Of carrying on war against Indi-
ans. The commissioners say it was Colorado
troops that involved us in the war of lS64-5
with the Cheyennes. twas regiment Of 100
day-men that perpetrated the butchery at Sand
Greek, and took from the treasury millions Of
money. A regiment of Montana troops last
Sep. would have involved us in an almost
interminable war with the Crows but for the
interference of the military authorities. If
we must have indian wars, let them be car
ried on by the regular army, whose officers
are generally actuated by the loftiest princi-
pies Of humanity, and the honor of whose
profession requires them to respect the rules
of civilized warfare" But the commissioners
believe war to beunnecessary with the Indians
if they are honestly and fairly bealt by. Other
recommendations regarding fair and expcdi-
ent reserva ions of territory for them, &c,
are too long for our notice We hope Con-
gress will give earnest heed to the recon-
mendations of the commissioners. Justice,
humanity, and economy demand that they
should do 30.

How MUsGRATS SWIM UNDER TIE ICE.-
Muskrats have a curious method Of travel
ling long distances under the ice. In their
winter excursions to their feeding grounds,
which are frequently at great distances from
their abodes, they take in breath at starting,
and remain under the water as long as they
can. They then rise up to the ice, and
breathe out the air in their lungs, which re
mains in bubbles against the lower surface of
the ice They wait till this air RECEIVERS oxy-
gen from the water and ice, and then take it
again, and 20 ON till the operation has to he
repeated. In this way they can travel al
most any distance The hunter sometimes
takes advantage of this habit of the muskrat.
Following one of them for some distance,
he sees him come up to renew his breath in
the manner above described. After the ami
NAL has breathed against the ice, and before
ne has time to take his bubble in again, the
hunter strikes with his hatchet directly over
him and drives him away from his breath. in
this ease he browns in swimming few rods,
and the hunter cutting hole IN the ice takes
him out Mink, otter and beaver travel un-
der the ice in the same way.-TraPper'
Gulde
The idea Of '' driving an animal away from
his breath, is a curious one.

NEW CONFIDENCE GANE.-The Montreal pa
pers mention the exposure Of new dodge
for raising money from men Of weak iudg-
ment and weaker morals. For some time
letters have been going from Montreal TO Va
rious parties in New York and Boston, signed
Minnie 5. Perry, who describes herself as a
distressed young lady of rank, who has been
betrayed and deserted by her cousin, and
who having discovered as she supposes, in the
one addressed, the name of an American
friend whom she once met in Genoa, now
writes to him, for aid, saying that she is
ready to 90 to him - proud if in any way
she might add to his happiness and pleasure. .
The Montreal Chief of police was informed
of the matter, and two detectives were sent
to the Post office on Saturday to watch for the
party who should call for the letters addressed
to - Minnie Perry" They arrested a man
about 50 years of age, calling himself Green
wood, who called for and received seven or
eight letters so addressed The letters were
opened and one was found to contain SO.
