| Mrs Lincoln's Sanity.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, July 17.-It is
generally believed by Mrs. Lincoln's
friends that her reason was seriously
DISTURBED by the assassination Of |
her husband. She became possessed
of some very peculiar whims; among
others was the idea that she would ]
suddenly come to want, and she
could not be shaken in this belief,
despite the fact that she had $50 600
and was entirely free from debt.
Another queer fancy she had was for
accommodating window curtains, and
while staying at hotel in Chicago,
without any idea of again living in a 4
house of her own, she had piled up
over her room over sixty pairs Of
window curtains.
