MRS. GREELEY.
Some characteristics Of the Possible
fntare Lady of the White House.

The New York correspondent Of
the Chicago Post gives the follow
ing, respecting the personal charac
teristic of the wife of Horace Gree
ley:
Yesterday met q lady friend who
is intimately acquainted with Mrs.
Greeley. The wife of the perhaps
next President is now in Europe with
her two daughtcrs-most kind and
amiabie young ladies. As Mrs.
Greeley may yet be our Republican
Queen, incidents which would other
wise be sacred from the journalis-
tic pen, now becomes the inheri-
tance Of the people, whose servants
we journalists are.
The wife of a future President
who is to receive the nations guests
in the White House is u legitimate
subject OF discussion, and Mrs.
Greeley now stands before the pub
lie no more sacred than Mrs. Grant
or no more sacred than were Har-
rict Lane or Mrs. Lincoln. The
Queen and her household are lcgi-
innate themes for the Coaut Joa1'-
nal.
Mrs. Greeley is somewhat older
than her husband, who was 81 on
the Sd of last February. She is
described as once having been quite
beautiful. For years she has been
an invalid, with intermittent spells
of love and kindness toward her
husband, and then showing long
seasons OF eccentric stoicism, in
gratitude, and even tyranny.
"What has caused this uneven
ness in her temper?" | asked my
lady friend, who knows Mrs. Greeley
intimately.
"Well, she was born in the ordi
nary walks Of life. Her mind is
strong and without culture Sick
ness has broken her constitution,
and she is governed entirely by
impulse. We all consider her u
little insane. She was formerly
accustomed to occupation and even
to hard work as mother and head
of a family; but Of late years Mr..
Grcelcy's financial position prevents
the necessity Of labor on her part,
and her mind has become uneven
and her temperament spasmodic."
GLOW did she used to be?"
"She was much better suited to
Mr.. Greeley years ago than now.
Then she entered into all of his
cold-water and vegetarian ideas
with zcst worthy of a Roman
mother. Mr.. Greeley tells even
now with great pride with what
Spartan stoicism Mrs. Greeley used
to preside before company at their
Grahamite meals, when he was
running the No,ning Post, in
1888"
GLOW do you mean?" l inquir-
ed.
"Why, Mr.. Greeley then lived in
cheap way. Neither he nor Mrs.
Greeley ate meat or drank tea or
coffee. Their diet Graham bread,
boiled beans and salt, and cold
water. Mr.. Greeley has told me
about it a dozen times," continued
my lady friend; "and he has told
me how Mrs. Greeley acted when
she had friends to visit her from
the country"
''Iiow was that?"
"Well, she would set her little
table with Graham bread, milk,
beans, salt and water; and when
they all sat down she would never
apologize, or even explain any
thing, but leave her company to do
the best they could"
sometimes" said Mr.. Greeley,
81 used to suggest to my wife that
we ought to explain matters to our
visitors, but she said, "No, no.
Horace! What is good enough for
us is good enough for them!" The
result was," said Mr.. Greeley,
laughing, "that people who came to

Dolly Vardcn.

"To what sad uses may we come
ut last?" Poor Dolly Warden! gay,
sweet, bewitching Dolly Warden,
how has thy brightness been trailed
in the dust, by the lcvelling mania
of the period? No more pleasant
associations, no more sweet mem
cries, no more sweet traditions, all
must give way before the modern
pitchfork which makes everything
up, tosses everything over, and
would make ofthe garden of Eden
heap of dung and deflement.
Poor Dolly Warden, | say again,
what had her sweet sixteen years
done, that she should be hung up in
effigy in dingy shops? stretched to
cover the broad shoulders of fat
and drowzy dowagers? and tortured
in every conceivable way by news
paper paragraphists? 1t is for
tunate for these, at least, that Dick
ems did not live to witness it; he
would hardly have borne such de-
grading usage of one OF his most
charming creations patiently.

Wealth is desirable for what it
enables us to do or enjoy, but it is
not desirable at the the cost of hon
esty and honor and true manhood.
It is not desirable when truth and

and eternal happiness hereafter

The Jubilee Anyils and Organ.

The Jubilee AnviIs and Organ.
Gilmore, the Peace Jubilee man
ager, feels relieved. lie has been
very anxious for some time lest the
one hundred anvils to be used in
the anvil chorus might have been
wrecked i'll the unfortunate TipoE
which went in pieces recently off
the coast of Ireland. But the an
wills have arrived safely at the
club" in the Cunard steamer
Olympus. The organ to be used
at the Jubilee is an immense affair.
1t is thirty feet wide by twenty feet
deep, the loftiest pipe extending to
a height of forty feet from the gall
cry base. Only that portion Of the
instrument below the sound-board
will be cncased, every pipe except
those in the swell being visible to
the audience. The organ will be
supplied with compressed air by
eight pumps. These pumps differ
widely from any in general use,
beng IN chest form with piston pres
sure, and each is Of a delivery ca
pacity of eight cubic feet of air to
every revolution of the crank shaft,
which is calculated at twenty per
minute, allowing for the eight
pumps an aggregate capacity Of
twelve hundred and eighty cubic
feet in that time. This air will be
received in two boxes, each having
capacity Of ninety cubic feet; from
these chests it will be distributed as
required BY the key and pedal de-
mand. Some idea of the volume
and pressure which will be rcqui-
site for supplying the atmospheric
requirements of the instrument may
be gained by the stntement that
while pressure Of two to four in
ches is ordinary on church organs
OF average capacity, at least sixteen
inches pressure will be needed to
fill this instrument when the full
organ is required.
A new story is related of Presi-
dent Grant, to the effect that when
he was an unpretending colonel of
volunteers, stationed near St. Louis,
he was on one occasion suddenly
required to visit a distant part of
the North Missouri Railroad. Call
ing upon the Superintendent, he
asked if he could be sent out. "V cry
easily" answered that official, "and
now. There stands an engine with
steam up, | will have car hitched
on" ''No," said the Colonel, "I
don't need car. Back ont your
engine, and I'll ride on the tender"
So said, so done; and the Superin-
tendent, having business on the road
accompanied him. The Superin-
tendent, now the city engineer of
St. Louis, says that the only obscr
vation, besides one of thanks, which
the Colonel made during the trip
was-''I believe I'll apply for a
brigadicrship. | think | could
handle brigade-in fact, l feel
pretty certain of it," About two
months afterwards the Superinten-
dent again met Colonel Grant in st.
Louis; the latter of whom, after
saluting his friend, said-'It's all
right. | got itlast week" Beyond
this no question was asked and no
explanation given.

The Workingmens Party.

1t may be fairly said that the wurkingmen' $
party is no more. The great political revo-
luton now IN progress has extingulshed It.
1t was never strong in point Of numbers, and
there had always existed jealousy between
the Eastern and the Western branches Of the
organization.
The withdrawal of Judge David Davis from
the Presidential field fastened its dissolution,
The more intelligent leaders Of the party
conceived it TO be the height Of madness 70

field, and very sensiblv declared themselves
in favor q the election If Horace Greeley
Messrs. Hinchchtfe. Campbell, Evans, Coggs-
well, and Others W tins state, soon announc-
ed their determination to support the nominee
OF the Baltimore and Cincinnati Conventions
Trevelliok, Of Michigan, and Puett, of Indi-
ana, followed their example The result Of
this has been that some Of these gentlemen
have been read ont of the party, and few
Eastern mercenaries in the interest Of Grant,
propose enacting the farce Of getting up a
convention and nominating a candidate, the
friends OF Grant agreeing to pay the expenses
Of the affair
In this State, the Labor Union cause AS
stronger in La Sale county and in St CLAIR,
than in any other portion Of the State The
report is that Greeley will receive the hearty
and almost unanimous support Of the labor

for improper purposes. They have confidence
in Greeley, and 81 far as Illinois is concerned,
they will give him their hearty support -

BALTIMORE, August IL. 1872
To the Editor Of the woRKnsxAS's ADVOCATE
Since my last there has been nothing Of
Importance transpired. The meetings Of
our wOrkingmen are but slimly attended.
This may be owing to two facts First, the
uncomfortably warm weather, and the
growing intensity of political feeling.
The organization of Ward clubs IL pro
crossing vigorously. From present indica-
tons, there will not be ward in the city
that viii not boast Of its Grant and Greeley
clubs.
The straight out Dem ocrstic nominating
convention scheme meets with but little
favor, and it does not look as though Balti
more or Maryland, in fact, will be largely
represented in that body. The PROPOSE
ton % Blanton Duncan and Horace Day,
of New York, to form q coalition, does not
meet with much favor among our working
men. They seem to think that if q candl-
date should be run at all, he should be run
on the Columbus platform, and no coali-
ton.
Our city has put on the usual holiday
appearance which it wears at this season Of
the year. All Of the upper ten are out Of
town, rusticsting at the watering places
and springs. The members Of the cant
getaway club, who, by the way, are very
