then fired the ship. Two British

The press of the period laments the
entrance of women into politics in the
role of lobbyists:
ut is a noticeable fact, and by no
means a credit to the age, that there
| is a growing inclination to use the
gentler sex in manipulating the politi-
cal wires. In the Hobbies Of Congress
during the last week, about the depart
ments at all times and at the White
House, this element largely prevails.
And it is observable that they are
not the wives, sisters or daughters OF
those whose interests they represent.
In most cases they are purely profess
sional wire-pullers, who for a consid-

any claim, secure the appointment OF
their principals to office, or labor for

The gloom which the war and the
death of Lincoln placed on the White
House was dispelled in time, and social
events regained some of their old brn-
fancy. Mrs. Johnson was an Invalid,
her two daughters acting as hostesses
at the Executive Mansion. A conteIn-
porary writes of the change:
1.-THE most gorgeous display OF rich
toilets has now taken the place OF the
blue overcoats of the private soldiers
from the camp and the display OF fancy
colors by the Negroes
Ladies arrayed in their rich silks,
satins, tarletons and velvets, with their
! diamonds and jewels, now grace the
gatherings. Gentlemen now consider It

weeks after Lincoln's death the news
papers had black boFdered columns
devoted to the national calamity" the
hunt for the assassins and demands for
punishment of the "conspirators."

federacy was crushed, the war was

which read: jeff Davis is Skedaddling

During the johnson occupancy OF the
white House there was continual pro-
cession of job hunters and pardon
seekers. A newspaper of the day said:
