MRS. LINCOLN.
Her European Tour-Remlnlscences.

Mrs. Lincoln is at Frankfort with her son,
who is at school. She lives at one OF the public
hotels in very plain aud unpTetendlng style,
very much to herself, and having the reputa.
ton OF being very industrious: She is quite
economical, and, II appearances do not mislead,
she has no more funds than are necessary to
make her comfortable. To Americans she
speaks very freely of the good President her
husband; and always with tears. Two periods
of the Presidential career of Mr.. Lincoln she
aludes to with great feeling. Tue one covers
the last day he spent in Springfield before he
first started for WASHINGTON. The other is con-
He had presentiment when he lett his house
at Springfield that he should never enter it
again. He was tender bat very sad in all his
farewells to his negbbors. When he got into
his carriage TO 60 to the station he gave the old
homestead, where he bad passed so many happy
hours of his life. long, fond, lingering look.
Turning to his wife he said, my dear, take
good look at the old house. We shall
never live in it again never" He leaned
back In his carriage, and was silent till he
reached the station. The day on which Mr..
Lincoln was shot he seemed very sad and worn
down. Before he left the breakfast table Mrs.
Lincoln said TO him m:-"You need rest, you are
exhausted. Promise me that you will ride with
me this afternoon at three o'clock, and he pro"
missed. Mrs. Lincoln said:."Shall | INVITE
some friends to go with us ?" He said :-"No;
let us go alone" He was uncom monty tender
during the whole ride; spoke OF their pleasant
home in Springfield; tnelr early struggles; the
ueatn Oh Jher cnhureu; tue nODle uen woo nau
died In battle; and the dear frievds they had
left behind. He seemed like one on the Western
slope and nearing the going do wn of the sun,
whose joys and the friends of his youth we're
clustering around hun. The rest of the story
the world knows by heart. Whatever may
have been thought of Mrs. Lincoln during the
heat and conflict of the Rebellion. she has won
on this side of the water only friends by her
ladyhke and retired conduct. The beat friends
of America here think she has been treated
rather harshly. Military men are unanimous in
the opinion that she is entitled to a pension as
much as any soldiers widow, for by our Con-
stilution the President is the head OF the army,
and he fell in the cause of his country.-COr.

celpts at that port Indicates Enthusiastically an
exhaustion OF supply.
Tue receipts up to this date, including over
land shipments direct TO the manufacturers,
amount to saw 1000 600 bales. In 1867 the re-
ceipts after this date were about 900.0 900 oHles.
The receipts for toe past three weeks have
fallen of about 20 600 bales as compared with
the corr espondiug period OF 1867 We take tue
year 1867 as criterion, for the reason that we
ate this ear at least three weeks abe ad OF last

not hold.
The continued wet weather has facilitated the
shI IOments OF cotton, while 1t has retarded
labor upon the plantations. All things con-
sldered. we are iully convinced that the esti-
mates OF the crop OF 1868 are greatly aoove the
mark, and that 100000 will cover the crop.
One other idea, and we will leave practical meD
10 draw their own conclusions. At present
prices there will be near 100000 bales held
over by the planters against say $4,000 last
year, thus reducing the supply TO that extent
