Mrs. Abraham Lincoln.

1t is sad fact that Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln, the widow Of the late Presi-
dent Lincoln, is living secluded life
in an interior town in France, and de-
clines to feturn to America lest she
may again be placed in a lunatic asy-
lum. 1t is said that in France she
still INDUCES, to certain exte1t, in
her propensity for buying things for
which she has no use, and filling her
closets with articles wholly unnecss-
sary.
1t will be remembered that in 1875
Mrs Lincoln's son commenced proceed
ings In the Chicago courts to have his
mother adjudged insane, in view of
her reckless expenditures, and her
many acts inconsistent with sanity,
and to have a person appointed to
care for her property. The court. af-
ter hearing the evidence, pronounced
her insane, and appointed a trustee to
manage her estate About fifty thou
sand dollars in Government bonds
were found on her person. After the
decision by the court she left the
room, at the Grand Pacific Hotel. and
endeavored to procure lauianum at
neighboring drug store, but received
only a harmless drug, and was pre-
vented from committing suicide. The
next day she was conveyed to pri-
vate asylum in northern Illinois, and
after few months was placed in care
of her sister at Springfield, from which
she sought quiet retreat in France.
The loss of her husband bore heavily
upon her, but the blow which wrecked
her mind was the shaft of death which
fell upon her loved boy Tad" There
is but little hope of her recovery.
Robert Lincoln, the only son now
living, is engaged in the practice of
law in Chicago, and holds high rank
in his profession

LONDON, May A St. Petersburg
correspondent telegraphs: Nothing
has transpired to-day justifying the
supposition which was entertained
last night that the prospects were
brighter. 1t is said the pourparlers
drag on slowly, although it is be
lieved some little progress has beer
made relative to the withdrawal nego
tiations. 1t is rumored that the Brit
ish Cabinet admits in principal the ad
visibility of an interchange Of views
regarding the essence of the question
at issue, provided the present formal
difficulties preventing meeting ol
the Congress are removed. There is
good reason to believe that Russia is
ready to enter upon such interchange
of views, but Great Britain so far has
not answered Prince GortchakofFs re-
| ply TO Lord Salisbury.
NEGOTIATIONS RESUMED.
A Vienna correspondent hears that
Great Britain has sent reply TO Rus
sia's latest overtures, which has pro-
duced a good impression at st. Peters
burg.
A telegram from St. Petersburg
states that negotiations have been re
sumed directly between London and
ST. Petersburg in regard to. the with
drawal from Constantinople..
NOT SO HOPEFUL.
A Vienna correspondent disbelicves
the reports that General Todleben's
negotiations Tor the surrender of Bul-
garian fortresses have already failed,
az negotiations on such an important
question are likely TO take days or
weeks. Meanwhile, however, the
Russians have occupied Bravadi, thus
cutting the communication between
Varna and Shumla-an act almost of
a hostile character and unlikely TO
contribute towards the chances of n
settlement. The same correspondent
says: The triumph of conciliatory
disposition at st. Petersburg, men.
toned yesterday, is further confirmed
to-day and generally attributed to the
reports of the Ministers on the finan-
cial, military and internal state of the
empire, which are said to produce the
impression that the country should be
spared further ordeals if it is possible
to avoid them without downright hui
miliations. The leading idea of Rus
sia in resuming negotiations seems to
have been TO show her readiness to
make far-reaching concessions in the
substance of the San Stelano treaty,
both as regards Europe and Asia, if
not pressed too hard on the question
of principles as to recognizing the ne
cessity of the validation of the treaty
by the Congress. 1t is probable Rus
sic has gone SO far as to specify the
concession she is willing to grant.

Illustrated last evening in this city. Two gen.
tlemeD, known to all the citizens of Portland,
both as men and politicians, were going down
one of the flights of stairs which abound in
this city, ia those buildings where off ces
abound. The stairs in such cases, by their
steepness, are presumably interded to typify
the charges made in the legal dens to which
they lead. The gentlemen referred to have in
dulged in many flights of fancy, but they in

wished they hadn't The gentlemen in ques-
ton were talking of the descent of man, and
illustrated it in an impressive manner. Sad
one, 81 hold it to be self evident that man
never could have fallen in the manner stated in
in the Bible, but''-and here he fell. His feet
went out from under him ard he flung out his
arms wildly and caught at his c)mpsnion, and
drew him after him. They went down-there
could be no reasonable d 1ubs of that-and if
they did not fall as far as Miltou's angels, who
fell nine days, it was because they stopped
sooner; but it is to be hoped that the aforesaid
angels were trfis less profane. The two
gathered themselves up, an operation which
took some time, as they were mixed in the most
complicated manner, and limped off, looking
as though they felt completely how poor a
thing is the life that now is.

The weather during yesterday, the third and
closing day of the fair, was very fine. The at
tendance was not very large, but composed of a
lively though orderly ''crowd'' who bestowed
most of their attention upon the "outside
shows" the fair itself being almost wholly
fo1saken. Nothing in particular occurred in
connection with the exhibition yesterday, the
exhibition of prize animals not taking place as
advertised, and the annual Meeting and cleo
ton OF officers of the society being postponed
to some future DAY to be held at the call of the
secretary.

BUTTER AND CHEESE.

excellent butter entered for premium, the ire
turning board" consisting of Oliver D. Dixie,
Esq. of Sebago, the city editor of the Argus,
(who had heard of the functions of such
boards) and o snb. of the PREss-appointed to
pass upon it, and who would have gladly made
the awards, decided that they would have to go
''behind the returns and that on account of
there not being ten pounds in either lot which,
according to law (of the G. G, A. 81, was
requisite, they were debarred from awarding
any premiums, and to this effect they signed
the certificate and left it at the Presidents
(not of the Senate) room. If they could have
done differently the awards wouli have been
made probably as follows:
