lady is very shrewd business woman,
and is turning the matter to very good
advantage. She practices law in a linn
tied way, usually having womon for
clients. She is very industrious and
Supremacy independent. She uses
tricycle. as a means of locomotion, and
if she does show little more red stock
ing than is customary it only adds to
the admiration of her Independence
The advertising she receives by means
of her nomination will add materially
to her influence among women, and to
her business interests. 1t is generally
supposed that there is IL Mr.. Lockwood,
her husband, belonging to the estab-
lishment occupied by the now dlstIn-
guished lawyercss and candidate, but
the public has not yet learned whether
he supports the candidate or she him.
The return of the President and the
Cabinet is expected about the first of
October. The White House has had
long rest, and matters about there have
been drearily and monotonously quiet
On Saturday evenings the open air
concerts, given by the Marine band on
the White House lawn, have served to
bring out a crowd of well dressed peo-
pie, and something like gayety has
frightened up the scene for an hour or
two. There is u well founded belief
that the Mansion is not liked by Presi-
dent Arthur, who is very IMPRESSION
al man. The associations, both remote
and recent, connected with the White
House are rather sombre, and it is only
when the Mansion is full of lively visi-
tors, and the pleasurable task of enter
tanning is going on, that he has found
it to his taste. He will probably not
make it his residence until cold wealth
er.
The appointment of Mr.. Gresham as
Secretary Of the Treasury is looked
upon as the beginning of the breaking
up of this administration. During the
next few months Mr.. Arthur will de-
vote himself largely to the task of To-
eating his advisers in good substantial
life positions. It is also said that he
will aim to be returned as Il New York
Senator himself, place which would
fit him very gracefully, lie will Ger
tainly close his administration with the
good will ard wishes Of republicans
and democrats alike.

WASHINGTON Letter.

ORION OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
Sept goth, 1854.
Up to the time Of the Garfield cam
paign tax Of two per cent was levied
upon salaries Of government officials to
pay election expenses. This raisel a
sum amounting to several Aundrelthols
and dollars, which was sufficient to
meet all expenses. But in this cam
paign the operations Of the civil service
law, which protects the cmploye Of the
government in his refusal to pay, un.
less he wants to, is for the first time on
trial. The result is q great embarrass-
ment to the republican canvass. The
donations from this source are very
mcasre, and many of the plans of the
campaign have had to be abandoned in
consequence. For instance, it was the
intention to make thorough canvass
of North Carolina, and the speakers for
this purpose were chosen. W. P. Cana
day was appointed Sergeant-at-arms of
the Senate last winter on the assurance
by him that the state could be carried
for the republicans. But for want Of
money the canvass, so far as northern
men is concerned, is abandoned. If the
state goes republican it will be through
the influence of local effort, which |
believe is not very feryent in good
works.
In talking with several intelligent
government clerks, | find that they are
boarding their money for fear Of being
turned out of office. 1t is the general
belief among them that if Cleveland is
elected they will have to go. So, as
the republicans are good enough to as
sure them that they can refuse to pay
a campaign tax, they say to themselves
let us save our money for fear We viii
be left. This is however human ma
ture all the world over. If it was a
sure thing that Blaine is to be elected,
they would be liberal to excess The
present Blaine excursion has the effect
to increase the generosity Of the clerks.
There is something about this Office
holding that begets extravaganza anu
shiftlessness. / met Il white haired old
man the other day and he told me that
he had been in Office for forty years.
"When took my place. he said, in a
cynical and quavering voice, II Dor,
rowed hundred dollars and never
have got even YETI He told this as
fact, and | think it is a good illustra
ton of the proaigacy of the average
government cmploye. If there is a
change which turns out the old clerks,
expect the country will presently
have corps of tramps that will swarm
over it like grasshopper plague,

ANECDOTE OF GENERAL sHErMAN

General Joseph f. Johnston, who COM
manded the Confederate forces engaged
in resisting the advance upon Atlanta.
once narrated the following incident.
which well illustrated the impression
Sherman had made upon the minds of
TIE Southern soldiery at that time as
commander OF resources and ready ex-
pedients. Johnston stood on Kenesaw
Mountains watching with his glass the
movements Of his enemy's wagon trains
ON the great plain to the northward. A
staff officer 'ame riding up with the news
that the rebel cavalry had got in the rear
OF Sherman's army and had burned q
number OF railroad bridges. The officer
had been forced to make detour of two
days to get around the Union army.
Scarcely had he finished speaking when
whistle was heard and moving train
appeared in the distance, showing that
Sherman had already rebuilt the bridges
and reopened his communications. Walk
ing past group OF soldiers lounging in
the shade few minutes later, the Gen.
eral overheard them discussing Sherman's
chances Of success. Said one of them:
"Well make it a Moscow campaign and
destroy his whole army" "How csn
you make it a Moscow campaign without
any snow:' asked his less enthusiastic
comrade. Il mean that well cut his
communications, destroy everything and
starye him out. Wen burn all the
bridges" Don't you know he carries
duplicate bridges along with him >"
well, we'll blow up the big tunnel"
"Oh, hell" exclaimed the other man,
with look of disgust. "you don't know
old Tecumseh Sherman. He's got du-
plicate tunnel, too.'-E. V. Smally in

7: ssIDENT Ii >coLN's DREAM.

1t is not generally known that Pres.
ident Lincc'r once dreamed that he
wculd b. easft s;pated, <sxr. the Nssh.
vile Tenn Liberal. While he was
neither profess. Of religion. nor even
fixed in his belief in one particular creed,
still he was fond of reading and discussing
the Bible. On Sunday evenings he inyar-
IDLY read chapter or two from the
Scriptures. and then gave his explana.
tion OF it. One evening at the White
House he read several passages, both
from the Old and New Testaments. re-
lating to dreams. to which Mrs. Lincoln
and the children gave great attention.
He began to chat with them on the sub
lect of dreams. and said he had been
hsunted for some days by dream he
had had. OF course, they all wanted
him to tell it. though Mrs. Lincoln said
she didn't believe in dreams in the least,
and was astonished at him. So he pro.
ceeded to tell it.
About ten days ago l retired one
night quite late. l had been up waiting
for important dispatches from the front,
and could not have been long in bed
when fell into a slumber, for 1 was
very weary. During my slumbers be.
gan to dream. thought there was q
stiffness about Inc, and l heard weeping.
l thought that got up and wandered
down stairs. As 1 went from room to
room heard moaning and weeping. At
ength came to the end room, which
entered, and there before me was mag
nihcent dais, ON which was q corpse.
Here there were sentries and large
crowd Of people. / said to one of the
soldiers. Who is dead at the White
House." He answered: ".The Presi
dent. - How did he die." / asked.
81 By the hand Of an assassin, was the
reply. Then l heard great wailing all
over the house. and it was SO loud it
seemed to awaken me. I awoke much
depressed, and slept no more that night.
Such was my dream" From that time
until his sad death Mr.. Lincoln was
haunted by the fear of assassination, and
Mrs. Lincoln's first words, after Wilkes
Booth had shot him on April l4th, were:
His dream was prophetic" The
remark was not understood then, but
when the story Of his dream was sub.e.
quently told it was explained.

JOHN sHERMAN's MEANNEss.
Warrington 4azsste.l

|. has got to be proverbial to speak Of
John Sherman's meanness. There is an
incident connected Herewith, that shows
his meanness graphically. On one occa.
sion, when he was Secretary of the Treas.
ury, he concluded to give dinner party.
He applied to a small dealer in meats.
vegetables, etc., who was a poor man,
and told him he wished to have a nice
saddle of mutton on 3 certain day. The
dealer, thinking he was providing for
big mana Secretary-and being much
pleased at receiving the patronage of such
man. concluded he must get for him
something very good. Not being able at
the time to find anything that he thought
good enough for the Secretary's dinner in
the market here, he ordered it from
Philadelphia. 1t came the day before
the contemplated dinner party, and
beautiful specimen of mutton it was-fat
and tender. He sent it to John Sher.
mans house. The next morning a SER
want brought it back to the dealers place
OF business with message that, owing
to some cause, the dinner party had been
abandoned, and, therefore, the mutton
would not be wanted. The man protested
that he had been at expense and trouble
IN procuring it, that his ordinary Gus
toners were not in the habit of buying
such expensive mutton as that; that he
could not sell it except at a sacrifice, and
that, being a poor man, he could not
afford to use it at his own table. But
The stingy wretch was obdurate. He
would not take it back, he did not want
1T at any price. The weather was warm,
the mutton would not keep, and the poor
fellow had to get clear of it the best he
could, at = loss.
