MRs. GEAST.-The Washington cores
pendent of the Chicago Tribune has this
social gossip, under date of March Sth;
| Mrs. Slower, Andrew Johnsons daughter.
quietly and respectfully took her departure
for Tennessee, last week. Good opinion
follows all the ladies Of the White House
under the passing administration. We feel
the most perfect and serene confidence in the
spirited, handsome and graceful lady who is
to be the mistress of this Mansion under
General Grant. Her education, parentage
and social opportunities, have abundantly
qualified her to grace the White House.
Her father, Mr.. Dent, was the proprietor Of
an estate and home comparable with any
between New Orleans and St. Louis. in those
days when that part of the world contained
the gentleman-planter, par excellence. He
spared no generous pains to make his boys
infuential and his girls accomplished.
Mrs. Grant was the flower of the family,
and, 10 her sagacity of head and heart, she
was probably the first person in the land to
express sympathy and appreciation Of the
quiet Young cadet, her brothers classmate at
West Point. She was the tried companion
of his poverty and carly struggles, and VIXEN
the war bereavcd her Of him she manifested
a constancv Of confidence in his virtue and
ability which never for one moment faltered.
At the darkest periods Of fortune she believed
in his star, and fought his praises in civil
life as bravely as he followed the Southern
Cross in his campaigns. Josephine will
have no larger homage when both Grant and
Bonaparte have meliowed into history, than
Mrs. Grant. Unlike Josephine, she has
submitted to the DEGREES Of good fortune with
blameless modesty. and republican woman
hood has no more exquisite examples at this
day than Mrs Grant
Her care of her children whom she teaches
to be self-reliant as well as obedent.. and
the domestic and religious influences she
exerts over her husband, are not unobserved
here. The taste of her toilet, adapted TO a
natural graceful and stately figure, has pass
ed the gauntlet of most invidious criticism.
1t is with more reason than the high estimate
of his sagacity that people predict Of General
Grant fortunate and happy Administration,
for behind his magistracy there will always
be a home. l make these remarks because
= wretched and scurrilous newspaper in New
York has lately undertaken to speak of
Mrs. Grant as unequal to her eminence.
Upon this point the strictest criterion IN the
land may be satisfied The White House
will be honoyed in her admission.

LETTER FROM WHITE PINE.

TREASURE CRY, March "a, 1869.
FRlESD B.: suppose you have talked

and think you know something about
it well now you don't. Nobody car
convey you any correct idea of it a,
present. 1t is a strange and wonderful
country, immensely rich or an immense
humhng, time alone can determine.
We have done but very little in law
business so far except in the way OF
preparation, but have some very good
contingent fees as soon as we have a
Court. Expect to be very busy next
month starting the new county and
with old criminal cases. should like
to start on a murder case, but the Gus
ses won't die however badly wounded !;
they are shot and cut, and the Doctors
say they must die, but they won't do it.
1t would amuse you to see the holes

from 500 to 200 feet, and the shafts
are about 20 feet apart-no chance for
lawyers-the beauty of it is that they
strike rich ore in every shaft at a very
short distance. I am interested in these
locations there and think my title good
simply because no one can tell who has
the title, and we haven't time to end out
about it (unless for coin), and so every
one takes the chances. 1t is the first
time that have gone to "nn excite

NAKAwAo, June Sth, 1869.
Mr.. FDIroR Dean SIR.-It becomes my painful
duty 10 announce that we nj the Makawao Female
Seminary are left homeless. Sabbath, June 9th,
about > O'Clock P. NJ. I was startled by the alarm
Of fre. which had broken out in 4 bathing house, at
q little distance from the school house, remote from
the cook house. ami where a fire had never been
hindled. Being lame myself, by the time reached
the bathing house the fire had reached the school
house and was creeping up its side, and seeing that
there was no possibility of saving the building the
wind being high, we bent all our efforts TO save what
we could OF our effects.
There were ~sixty-Six scholars connected with the
institution. but all except one had been at the meet
ing house more than an hour. So rapidly did the
fire spread that most of the scholars lost everything
they had excepting the clothes on their persons.
BY the time the school was on fire, the native con-
gregatjon had reached the place or soon arrived, and
aided, as they were able, in removing such things as
were in their reach. We succeeded in saving n part
OF our furniture and clothing, and my private library.
The remainder including our entire crockery, one
piano, two melodeons, two guitars, all our music,
all the school furniture, clothes and books, and nearly
everything belonging TO my sister, and the trunk,
wardrobe, and some $4,000 in cash belonging to
Miss 5. E. Rogers, with all the buildings, and i'm
provemeHts, which have cost me the labors and
strength of five years, were swept away in a few
moments.
All our dear girls are scattered to their several
homes Our work is ut q stand still but our hearts
are no less in it than they have been ; but we are
without means TO rebuild. The Board of Education
have been very liberal towards lis. Can they help
Us now
L take this opportunity to express our heartfelt
thanks to our many kind friends, who have remem-
oered us IN this our time of trial. May God reward
hem a thousand fold for their kindness.

1t seems almost useless To attempt to follow
the ministerial writer in his weekly tcrgivcrsa-
tons. in endcayoring to escape from the diiemmas
into which his careless pen constantly launches
him. He reminds of Il c~entipcdc with its head
pinned to the floor, its body w~rithing most furi-
ously to find some way to escape, or t. iniure it's
opponents. Having found that there do ~unfortu-
natcly exist too numerous instances showing any
thing but the most amicable relations between
the present administration and the American
missionaries, Of which his treacEcrous memory
appears to have lost all record,-he undertake..
to throw the responsibility OF the base SANDER
and libel against Rev. Mr.. Paris. from the adj
ministration which publishes the paper. on t, the
Individual who wrote the communication.
We are coolly assured that sir the paper had
been in the same hands as at present. the article.
though communicated, would not have had ad-
mission as written" Now IL is well known that
the same Ministry prcsidcs now rs in 1866. and
it i equally well known that nobody is response
BILE for the language uttered in the GGecYe. ex-
ccpt the Ministry. This attempt to shirk the re-
sPonsibility of the SANDER must pass for what is
worth. In allowing 1t to 90 forth rs a truthful
statement, without n disclaimer, the Ministry
permitted what the public understood - be the
purpose Of It's author-an attempt to malign a
worthy clergyman. The same remark applies to
the base SANDERS uttered against missionaries
and others from week TO week in the native
ministerial organ, the Ia Okoa. The response
bility Of Ministers is the same whether the arti-
are dictated or written by them, or published
ls communications.
But let us see what follows: yet, it Is most
certainly true, that the name Of the writer Of
tha' article has been and still is at the disposal Of
Paris, if he desires to know it Ashamed
now OF n publication in which it then gloried.
the Gd>afe turns ON it, correspondent, and offers.
satuiuously, to disclose his name, and thus
-hirk, if possible, the responsibility and odium
attaching to its publication. We know not what
outsiders may think Of this new rule in Journal
