Mrs, Lincoln’s “Prison House.” SOME SHARP CORRESPONDENCE IN KEFER ENCE YO TILE UNFOKTUNATE LADY'S CASE, A rather sharp correspondence between Dr. R. J. Patterson, in charge of the Batavia (111.) insane asylum, where Mrs. Lincoin was confined, and “Judge James B. Bradwell is published. In a letter to Judge Bradweil, Dr. atierson says, with reference to Mrs. Lin- coln, that he is quite willing to believe that the objects of Judge B.'s visits and the nu- merous letters of Mrs. Bradwell are well meant, and not designed to promote unrest and discontent, but he has become fully con- vinced that such is their tendency and result. He turther says:—“I see no good to her, but barm only, to discussing with her the ques- tion of her removal from this place, It tends to keep her mind in @ constant ferment over questions which should not be determined by an insane mind—gquestions which should never have been discussed with her.” Judge Bradwell, in his reply, reminds Dr. Patterson that he (Dr. P.) first ted that Mrs. Lin- cola should visit her sister, Mrs. Edwards, and adds:—I am satisfied that Mrs. Lincoln does not require to be confined in a house for the insane, and that it would be greatly for her good to be allowed to visit her relatives and friends. She pines for liberty. Some of the best medical men in America say that it is shameful to lock Mrs. Lincoln up bebind grates as she has been, and I concur with them. I believe that such continement is in- jurious vo her in the extreme, and caleulated to drive her insane.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, August 31, Saratoga has for many years continued to increase in importance as a political center not only for the polities of the state of New York, but of the country at large as well. It is especially the case during a summer sea- son immediately preceding a Presidenttal campaign, for it is about the only watering place where the public men and leading poli ticians of both political parties “most docon- gregate.” It is cool. pleasant and spactous, and full of attractions, aud yet so concen- trated as to bring every boy into timely e on- ference At almost any houroftaeday.
