LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE.
At last everything was packed, and the day
for departure for the West came. I can never
forget that day: it was so uni ke the day alien
the body of the President was borne from the
ball in grand and solemn state. Ten thous
ands gathered to bow the hmd in reverence
as the plumed hearse drove down the line.—
There was all the pomp of military display—
trooping flags, battalion; with reversed arm-.
Now, the
wife of the President was leaving the White
House, and there was scarcely a friend to tell
her good-bye. She passed dowa the public
stairway, entered her carriage, and quietir
drove to the depot where we took the cars.—
The silence was almost painful.
MRS. PATTEKSOX AND MRS. STOVF.R.
I finished the dress for Mrs. Patterson, and
it gave satisfaction. 1 afterwards learned that
both Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Stover were
kind-hearted, plain, unassuming women, mak
ing no pretensions to elegance. One day when
I called at the White House, in relation to some
work that I was doing for them, 1 found Mrs.
Patterson busily at work with a sewing ma
chine. The sight was a novel one to me for
the White House, for as long as I remained
with Mrs. Lincoln. I do not recollect evci to
have seen her with a needle ia lifer hand, The
last work done for the Johnsons by me were
two dresses, one for each of the sisters. Mrs.
Patterson subsequently wrote me a note, re-
qnestiup me to c .11 and fit a dress for her; to
which 1 replied that I never cut and fitted
work to be finished outside of my work-room.
This brought our business relations to an abr
nipt end.

A DREAM OP CHILDHOOD.
“Mrs. Ketclriey” relates that Mrs. Lincoln,
from her earliest childhood, was convinced
that she would be the wife of a President.—
When a young lady she was, says the book,
courted by Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas. The
latter offered himself to her and was discarded.
He pressed his suit more boldly.

many costly tilings which I shall never wear
I might as well turn them into money, and

jit was finally arranged that T should meet her j
Pin New York about the middle of September. ;
. While thinking over this question, 1 remem- j
i bered an incident of the White House. When j
we were packing up to leave Washington for j

or nothing, and we found it a bard matter to
drive a bargain with thiin. Airs. Lincoln met
the deal era squarely, but all of her tact and
shrew dness failed to accomplish much. 1 do
not care to dwell upon this portion of tny
story. Let it answer to say, that we returned
to the hotel more disgusted than ever with the
business in which we were engaged. There
was much curiosity at the hotel in relation to
us, as our movements were watched, and we
were regarded with suspicion.
Our trunks in the main lull beiow were ex
amined daily, and curiosity was more keenly-
excited when the argns-eyed reporters for the
press traced Mrs. Lincoln's name 0:1 the cover
of one of her trunks. The letters bad been
rubbed out, but the faint outlines remained,
and these outlines pnly served to stimulate
curiosity. Alessrs. Keyes and Brady called

LINCOLN CONDUCTED THK CAMPAIGN
OF 1S64.
In 1864, much doubt existed in regard to
the re-election of Air. Lincoln, and the AYhite
House was besieged by all grades of politi-

The book informs us that Mr. Brady exhib-
ted the letters quite freely, but the parties to
whom they were shown refused to make any
advances.
Meanwhile our stay at the Union Place Hotel
excited so much curiosity that a sudden mover
