never 10 near tle last OF
I old woman Lincoln z Her
husband was worth SlS,-
600 when made President,
and $4,000 at the time
Of his death, at which
date Congress gave his
wife s25, 600, making an
estate of 100000, full
half of il her own. Since
Lincoln's death this mis-
cradle creature has pau
perized herself through
extravaganza, and is now
in Germany, bowling
across the broad Atlantic
her impecuniousness, aud
badgering Congress for
more money. IL she Is a
paupcr, il is because she
has deliberately made her
self by her foolish extrav-
agant habits. 1t is anoth-
er picture Of the beggar
on horseback. Let her be
told that she has no claims.
Her husband was the tool
of a base party, which has
pauperized the whole ma
ton, and destroyed a mil
lion Of lives, each one a
vast deal more precious
than her own. Yet after
all Ben Butler, Colfax,
Grant 4 Co. last week vo-
ted her a pension Of $4,000
a year for life. Had some
widow who lost a husband
and three sons in the ar
my, possessed the imper-
tinence to have applied for
an extra bounty Of only
$50, she would have been
ordered out Of the Capitol
by these worthless, while
this "harcm scarcm" is
voted her $1,000 with
case.
