I am sure II you searched the wild world Ger
Sueh babies as mine there were never before"
Speaking Of babies, old Tabitha said.
Come look at my little ones, under the shed;
rive little kittens, so cunning and bright,
With the tips of their tails and noses white.
And such beautiful fur and clean little paws,
And SO sprightly and graceful; think have

WASHINGTON.
VISITORS TO GEN. GRANT.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-As usual of late,
large crowds of visitors called at the army
headquarters this morning, anxious to pay
their respects to the President elect. Several
delegations of visitors from various States &C.
companied by members of Congress from their
respective districts, called during reception
hours and were gratified at shaking hands and
passing few words in conversation with Gen.
Grant. One delegation from Iowa and two or
three from Pennsylvania were among those
present.
THE CABINET.
There is no ground for believing that the
name of any of the proposed members will be
made public even an hour before the date OF
their nominations to the Senate, as announced
by Gen. Grant to the Congressional Committee
two weeks ago.
GEN. SHERMAN.
Lieut.. Gen. Sherman arrived to-day from St.
Louis.
THE INAUGURAL PROCESSION.
The committee to arrange the inaugural pro-
cesson have not yet fully determined on the
programme for the procession: 1t has, how
ever, been determined that several divisions
will form in the 1st Ward, the military on
Pennsylvania avenue, and other divisions on
the side streets, and take the President elect
at his headquarters, corner of 18TH and +
streets, proceeding along the avenue TO the
Capitol. After the President is sworn in the
procession will return up the avenue and dis.
band at some convenient point. In the pro
cession will be all the United States troops in
the District, and also the marine corps. The
Secretary of War has issued the necessary
orders to the troops and Gen. Bellen. At the
request of the committee the Secretary of the
Navy issued orders to Gen. Graham to parade
his command of marines, and the War De
partment order recently issued orders the
transferring of Unred States troops is so fal
as it relates to United States troops here.
