has been repea'edly proved by Prof,

blood of ench genus is alike; which
we positively de;:v, only as regards the

proved by the unalterable laws of

'lint Mrs. Senator Sprague has. frotn
the verv start, embraced the cause of
the President and prevailed upon her
fatlter to act in hi* capacity with a sole
regard to justice and law, irrespective
of partv ttes The lady's great capac
ity, her winning manners, her thorough
acquaintance with the political silua
tion, have on many occasions, enr prised
men occupying iwominenl positions in
Washington, and often she has sue
cectled in coming out victorious font
private political di?cns-ions in which

the first office in the land, il was not
difficult for him to heed the advice of
his gifted daughter, and (he result

Can it be that by winning her talented

Eminted out the road to peace and po

that her husband, the Senator, voted
purposely " guilty " to show his independence.
llut her aim to make her

controlling idea of her mind, and in
thia effort she hat at this boor the
