The Handsome Mrs. Williams

' Mary Clemmer Ames' Washington lotter to the Brooklyn Argus says : A leading journal the other day declared that the ladies of tho Supremo Court are so bitterly jealous of Mrs. Williams that her husband cannot be confirmed. I do not believe that there is a lady in Washington jealous of Mrs. Williams or one who ever was jealous of her. And this assertion is not made from any mere impression, but from years of personal observation. She is a good-natured, egotistioal, handsome woman, loud in voiee, lacking cultivation - who talks so much and so unwisnly that she perpetually invites invidious comment. Endowed with superb physical beauty, fair intelligence and plea8Íng viavcity, had Mrs. Williams been content to have been kind, affable, dispensing quietly the social honors which were legitimately hers, she would have made herself a general favorito. But neither to manor nor to honor bom, she perpetually betrays it by a tone of boasting which is ludicrous when not displeasing. In a public assembly she will talk by the hour of " I," " the Judge," " the President," " tho happy family " (i. e. the Cabinet), in a fashion reflecting anything but credit on either of them. Nobody could have have been more astonished than Mrs. Williams when she found herself tho wifo of the Attorney-General. Her sudden and unprecedented elevation was too much lor her discretion. From tho beginning she assumed to be " a leader " of her social and mental superiors. It was not jealousy, but Belf-respect which made more than one refuse patronage or leadership. A singular opidemic is prevailing among the horaes in different parts of this county. They aro attacked with what wo gbould cali a " crazy fit," rearing and plunging in their s tul Is, sweating very freely and frothing at tho mouth. As Boon as they are taken from their stalls :he paroxysms subside and the animal Decomes quiet. No cases have yet resul ted fatally. - Coldwater Itepublican.
