Whatever may be thought of her husband’s political course, or of her own political sentiments, all who knew this elegant and accomplished lady will sincerely regret her death. Mrs. Slidell was born in New Orleans, of French parents, and was as thoroughly French in her education and manners as though she had been born and raised in Paris. The Philadelphia Day, in announcing her death, remarks: She was much voungertha.n her husband, appearing more like his daughter than his wife, and was affianced to him, according to French usage, without being even inti mately acquainted with him, and married him when she was very young, the third time she had ever seen him. Bnt she was a true wife and mother, and her household was characterized not only bv elegance and refinement, bnt by every mark of domestic happiness and peace. Mr. Slidell's house in Washington—called by some the “second white house”—was the centre and focus of the most refined society of the capital, during Mr. Buchanan’s administration, and guests were welcomed with a hearti ness and treated with a hospitality unusual in what is called fashionable society. The family was a most agreeable one, ihe two. daughters, Mathilde and Rose, who were then aged, respectively, about fourteen and sixteen, and who were as uupretendtng and modest, as though they were not the highly educated and admired daughters of a mil lionaire, contributing greatly to its attrac tions. Mrs. Slidell was a lady of rare social ac complishments, and was most entertaining in conversation. Her faculty for making her guests feel at homo aud happy in her house and presence was remarkable, and enabled her, petite as she was, to outshine her rival, political as well as social, the more magnificent Mrs. Douglas, who, though an exceedingly well-bred lady, and well schooled in the art of entertaining. Uacked the sparkle and gennine bon Jwmme of the vivacious and thoroughly accom plished little French woman. "Do what Mrs. Douglas would, Mrs. Slidell would draw the cite of Washington and the conn try to the second white house,” ahid both these ladies, by the way, aspired to the mistresship of the first white house. Now, however, Mrs. Douglas has become Mrs. Williams, *he wife of an array officer, and Mrs. Slidell has passed away from earth, leaving a host of admiring friends in both hemispheres to mourn her early death, for she was in the prime of life and woman hood. Her sister, Mrs. Beauregard, died daring the war. Lieutenant General W. J. Hardee We were honored yesterday with a friendly grasp of the hand of this gallant and ac complished officer, whose distinguished services, fortitude and courage, won for him the soubriquet of “ Old Reliable” throughont the Confederate armies, and made him to the army of Tennessee what A. P. Hill was to the array of Northern Virginia—the most trusted and efficient of corps commanders. ~ > , i-s :: t It will gratify the surviving veterans of his famous corps, to know that their be loved former leader is looking as stalwart, staunch and soldierly as he did in the days when he “ work the gray” and rode at the head of that flghtlßC, marching corps.

From Washington. sumner oir Arlington —he quotes shaks peare’s epitaph—-some comments THEREUPON—A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER — THINGS POLITICAL—PROMINENT RADICALS LOSING FAITH IN HUMAN NATURE. Washington, December 14, 1870. Mr. Sumner prides himself upon his punctilious accuracy, especially when deal ing with anyth!up connected with the English classics. His quotation yesterday of the wretched doggerel verses which he desires to have inscribed npon the tomb stones. or memorial wooden slabs, of every soldier buried at Arlington (Confederate and Radical, I suppose, alike), was accom panied by statements which show rather the literary sloven. In the first place, he affirmet) that Shakspeare “ had written and caused them to be placed over his grave.” Secondly, that they had “guarded his sacred remains for two centuries and a half,” and thirdly (to make his suggestion the more apropos), that the “ sacred dead” at Arlington were origioally deposited by Stanton in order that their “ghosts” might scare away the “Lee family,” and that his borrowed “ epitaph,” as in the case of the immortal bard, was designed to give fair warning. Now, the biographers of the “ Swan of Avon” are by no means agreed that Shaks peare ever wroto much iess “caused”the puerile stuff quoted by Mr. Sumner “to be put over his grave.” A-ain, his monument was not erected until 1623, only two hun dred and forty-seven years ago —not by a jug-full two and a-half centuri. s, as assert ed by the Massachusetts pedant; and agaiu, although the said “epitaph” (so-called) was actually placed “ over his grave.” it was in no sense a warning chat his “ ghost” meant to trouble the “ Lee family,” or any one else. Mr. Sumner also labors under a mis take in supposing that the lines quoted by him constitute the “epitaph” of the “ Bard.” I find It necessary, for a fair understanding of the tangled speech of the Senator, to quote the real facts. One ol Shakspeare’.s biographers, after describing the monu ment, which consisted of a bust, says : “On a tablet underneath, are inscribed the lines” (which are real ‘epitaph ’): (Squares. l Week, 'j? Weeks j» Weeks. 1 Month. (2 Montis {3 Months. 1 Jt Month*. 16 Months Jfl Months. “ Stay, passenger, why dost thou go so fast t Read, if thou cans’l, whom envious death has placed Within this monument—S. akspeare! with whom Quick nature died ; whose name doth deck the tomb Par more than co^t; since all that he hath writ Leaves living art but page to serve bis wit. —” “ And the flat stone covering the grave (continues the writer) ‘holds out, in very irregular charactera, a supplication to the reader, with the promtae of a bleaaing and the menace of a ettrae, as follows: “ Good friends, for Jesus’ sake, forbear To dig the dust inclosed here : Blest he tbe mao that spares these stones, And curst be he that moves my bones.” The biographer, In commenting upon these inscriptions, sensibly remarks: “ The last of these inscriptions may have been written by Shalcapeare himself , under the apprehension of his bones (no • ghost ’ here) being tumbled, with those of many of his townsmen, into the charnel house of the parish. It were to be wished that the two preceding inscriptions were more worthy than they are of the tomb to which they are attached. The truth is, Shakspeare (admitting or rejecting his authorship of the lines imputed to him) wasa very different“epitah maker.” The following, alleged f.d have.been written t»y him as a poetic effusion, would disgrace ny American poetaster. It would not do at all to inscribe It upon the tombs at Ar lington, but there might be “ more truth than poetry ” in it it engraved upon those of the money hunters in Congress who, at this late day, are striving to coin the very bones of their slaughtered dupes into so much ready eash. Here it is: “ Tt-u in a hundred lies t ere engraved, 'Tie a hundred to ten bis soul is not saved. If any man ask who lies iD his to ub ; He! tio! onotb tbe devil, ’lis my John a Combe!” Thiugs political here are working beauti fully for the Democracy. Honest Simon Cameron has “ lost faith iu human nature" since the nomination of Gen. Pieasonton for the Commißßionership of Internal Reve nue. No matter what may have caused the break between the President and the Pennsylvania Senator, in this instance the former, by refusing to ratify the understand ing by which Douglas was to beappo uted, has done (perlucps through inadvertency) a very good thing. Gen. Pieasonton will make an honest officer, although I hear he is ii red hot Radical. Cameron attributes the mischief to Greeley, who, he says, by this move, vainly seeks to reconcile the Fenton and Conkling cliques. I hear of many others whose “ faith ” in humanity is shaky. Admiral Porter is be ginning to doubt even his best friend— Grant. “Torn about, is lair play.” Mr. Oreswell has also “lost, faith” generally. Williams-, of- Oregon, seems to have given the thing up in particular. Willey, of West Virginia.it is said, is almost an apostate. Warner despairs, and even Bchenck has lately eiflressed some’doribts of the perfec tibility of man in the abstract. Sumner has “lost faith" in Trumbull, and Trum bull returns the compliment with interest at C per cent, in gold. Finally, Drake has not yet received his commission.. The President may yetwithho'd it. It is a mis nomer to say the Senate has “ confirmed ” his appointment. It has only “advised and consented.” “ There is many a slip be tween the cup and the lip." Every individ ual leader of the Radical rotten party seems to have “ lost faith ” somewhere or somehow. Asa party, the leaders rather resemble a disorganized banditti quarrel ing over a final division of the products of their thieveries. These are all good signs of coming salvation for the Republic. But Democrats are nil keeping a sharp look out, and guarding the treasure of the country— its public lands—with the patriotism of a Metullus. “ Eternal vigilance Is the price of liberty,” and, for that matter, of hon esty. X. The President of the St. Domingo Job.—The Philadelphia Age says: Gen. Grant is but the agent of a New York com pany in the effort to annex St. Domingo to the Uuited States The capital of this congregation of brokers and jobbers is said to consist of twenty shares, at $15,000 each. To this company all the mineral lands, mill privileges and prospective town sites In St. Domingo have been granted. They also have the monopoly of banking, of building railroads and of running steam boats. They are authorized in the event of annexation to survey the public domain of the republic, and to have one fifth of the same by way of compensation. This one fifth they are to locate for themselves, in any portion of the island selected. With such a fine bargain In prospective, it is no wonder the scheme is pqshed upon the at tention of the Senate with pertinacity. The dividends wilt be large, and hence the interest fait in the movement at the White Honse.” • —. s;- Luck “ Quaker Guns.”—Artificial teeth are of little use, and easily detected.
