Eminent American Women. biropean Queens all live in history, but the wive a of our American Presi- dents or statesmen, pass Away almost without record. Unlike 'female rulers in foreign countries, they havisino politi- cal rights, and only govern by their graces in social and domestic life. James Parton tells us that Mrs. Mar - Washington was a plump, pretty, sprightly little woman in her youth, but settled down into a plain, domestic vide, who looked sharply after the ser- vants ; she was far from au educated woman, and though she kept her own accounts, was a very poor speller. Par- ton quotes Miss Bremer, the authoress, who relates a "curtain lecture " of the great man by Martha, which she over- heard in the sleeping -room. Martha was angry, and scolded a long time. The General listened in silence till she icas done, and then mildly closed the scene with `.`Now good sleep to you, my dear!" Gen. Washington was very rich. Mrs. Washington was very rich, wad her three children by her first hus- band were heirs to great wealth. Wash- ington's mother was a plain, illiterate, energetio, strong-willed lady, who pre- ferred her own broad acres, and declin- ed to go and live with her great son. "I thank you, George," said she, "but I desire to be independent." And when Gen. Lafayette called, she was at work in her garden, with her_ old sunbornet on ; so she came to him, saying: could not pay you so poor a compli- ment, Marquis, as to stay to change my dress." * * Thomas Jefferson, like Washington, married a widow, Mrs. Maria Skelton, who had considerable property; but that did not save her great husband, who died deeply in debt, owing to his slavish devotion to his country. She was a lady of extraordin- ary beauty of face arid form, and singu- larly competent to adorn/and conduct a great household. A little above the medium height, fair complexion, eyes large, dark, and expressive, auburn hair, and a daring horsewoman, and full of talent. She played, danced, and sung well, and had literary tastes. When Jefferson courted her, he was 28 and she 19. He played the violin and sung well, and as he had money then, and a high position, he distanced all rivals. They had a great -wedding. She had , an immense responsibility managing her husband's great estate, had_ six children, of whom only two survived, and died before he rose to his great re- nown, mourned by him to the last. He remained a widower 44 years, down to his death. Of course, sheaiever saw him in the White House. * * Dolly Payne was a Quaker, and a widow when she married James Madison, and the daughter of a Virginia planter, born in North Carolina. Her father and mother set their slaves free and. moved to Philadelphia, and there Dolly mar- ried a lawyer named Todd. She was 20, and he died. three years after, leav- ing her with a sou and no wealth. Her -mother kept boarders while Congress sat here, and she helpedTher mother to keep the establishment. Among the boarders were- Aaron Burr, then a Sen- ator from New York, and James Madi- son, a member of Congress from Vir- ginia. Dolly was very beautiful and. accomplished, and when she married Madison he was 43 and she 25. They had no -children. When he became President, in 1809, the White House re- ceived its lovely mistress, who enjoyed its attractions for eight years. She died in Washington in 1849, aged 82 years, surviving her husband 13 years; * * Daniel Webster was twice married, but his first wife was the mother of all his children. She was a clergyman's daughter, one year older than himself, quite accomplished, not beautiful, but much esteemed ; and when she came to Washington, more than 50 years ago, made many friends. She died. in New York, aged 46, in 1847, whither she had been taken from the National Capital by her husband. If she never saw him in his splendid prime, she did not witness his sad de- cline. * * * I have spoken of Mrs. Andrew Jackson more than once. She was the wife of another man, Lewis Ro- bards, of Kentucky, when young Jack- son saw and loved her. Her mother, Mrs. Donelson, was keeping a boarding- house at the time, having returned to Tennessee with Mr. and Mrs. Robards, and Jackson lived in her house. Re- sult, a jealous husband and a separa- tion. A rumor came that a divorce had been granted, and then Jackson married the "grass widow ;" but the ru- mor proving false, they lived together two years before a divorce could be really granted, and, then. they were mar- ried again. The first husband left early, knd these peculiar circumstances led to many bitter quarrels between Jackson, who grew into a great reputation, and his many enemies. She was short and. stoat, a great housekeeper and man- ager, very religious, very illiterate, kind to her slaves, and full of anecdote and blue She had no children, and died in December, 1828, just after her great husband was elected President. She was the "Aunt Rachel " of Nashville, and regularly smoked a pipe with the General. When the news of his election as President came to her dying couch, she simply said : "Well, for Mr. Jack- son's sake (she always called him Mr. Jackson) I am glad ; for my own part I never wished it." - Varieties.

Their c reasons for doing so are given in their newspaper, the -herald of Trztth. They believe that those persons who corn - Inoue together should be of one mind and -one faith.

The lady of the period can see from this amazing falsehood the danger of crediting- rooki- backs. Why, we know of two or three banged -hair persons who haye captured husbands notwithstanding the fact the husbands were closely watched br their suspicious wive. ,—Mr. Blaine is described by the Cin- cinnati Commercial as a distinguishe • looking man with broad shoulder snowy beard, and iron -grey hair. says, moreover, in reference to his mai ner of speaking, that he is a-" thoroug Stumper.

As a child toddled and ran about the square and the charge of a dark -eyed Jewish nurse maid. At a fit age he was sent to a small school at *)althamstow, conduct ed by a clergyman of Unitarian opinione,'i where he used to keep his schoolfellow.* awake at night by telling them ghost stories. When about 14 or 15 years old he exchanged Judaism for Christianity, being baptized in the Church of St, Andrew's, Holborn. He next spent a year or two in- a lawyer's office in the neighbourhood, of the Old Jewry and what is now Moorgate street ; and then before he was 21 he astonished the world by editing a journal of radical sentil- ments and publishing the novel of " Vivian Gray." 1 • A New Use' for Monkeys. The newest ser4ice rendered by mon. keys to mankind was recently illustrat- ed in London. In one of the school dist tricts too many parents reported no children in their families, and in order to ascertain- the real number of children in the district the school officers resort- ed to an ingenious measure. Two mon- keys were gaily dressed, put in a wagon,1 and, accompanied by a brass band, were carried through the streets of the dis- trict. At once crowds of children made their appearance. The processsion was stopped in a park, and. the school offi- cers began their work; distributi og can- dies to the youngsters, they took their names and addresses.They found out that over sixty parents kept their chil- dren from school. This ingenious meas- ure brought te .the schools about 200i boys and girls. The most pleasant, rapid, reliable, and effectual remedy yet discovered forl curing diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera morbus, cholera infantum, and all sum- mer complaints, is Dr. Fowler's Ex- tract of Wild Strawberry. It is unsur- passed as a reliable specific in the above diseases, is well known as a great reme- dial agent, and is more highly valued the longer it is known.
