Row in the Cabinet.

There having been an effort made by the
members Of the Cabinet to impose ON the
public what is termed an authoritative denial
that there have been or are differences be-
tween members of the Cabinet or the President
and members, thus impugning the accuracy
Of the newspaper correspondents who have
reported that such differences did and do
exist, the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette feels called upon, in vindi-
cation of his reliability, to make more en-
phatic statement of the facts. He says:
As to the denials, beg leave to say that be.
tween three members of the Cabinet there is
not the slightest cordially.
Intercourse is limited entirely to cial
business, and the common courtesies which
gentlemen usually oh erve toward one
another. There is, however, to this one ex-
ception, and that is one member branding
another as a liar, and holding proof indis-
putable of the tact. If this is not explicit,
will state the time when, the place where, the
persons present, the circumstances under
which the charge was made, and the proof
also that the declaration was correct. The
President, however, having some reputation
for prevaricstion, lying may not constitute in
bis Cabinet cause tor unpleasant relation

A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Philadelphia, does not take an
entirely rose colored view of the arrangements
for entertaining visitors, about which great
expectations have been entertained. He
thinks it will not give satisfaction, not but
that families enough have consented to take
dodgers and give them breakfasts and suppers,
but the class Of accommodations is not Of the
right kind. The Centennial Lodging House
Agency, which is the name of the company or
committee having charge Of the matter, fixed
the price per day, including lodging, break
fast and supper, at 50 SO for each person.
The correspondent, after careful explora-
ton of the city, and examination of the situa-
ton and style Of the houses fairly represent
ing the eight thousand that have contracted
with the committee for customers, reports
that they are not so good as they ought to be
for the price charged. He says that the better
class of householders have made no terms
with the company, but that the poorer classes
have seized the opportunity for making
money. The result is practically that So SO
afay for lodging, breakfast and supper is the
established minimum price for the Exhibi.
ton season, for the commonest quarters, and
the price will range upward from that.
This price omits the cost Of dinner, which
it is taken for granted visitors will get on the
Exhibition grounds, where it will cost dol
lar This makes the cost of board and lodg-
ings for two persons who stay in Philadelphia
a week about $50 which he protests is too
much for the majority Of people who would
be willing to accept snch accommodations.
However, the fears of the New Workers,
touching the success OF the arrangements for
the Exposition must be taken with some dis
count The matter will adjust itself in some
way. After all that has been done, we do not
believe any tariffs will be persisted in that
will prevent the success Of the Exhibition in
attracting yisitors.-Ba Baltimore American.

An administration whose officers would rob
dead soldiers of their tombstones is not above
suspicion OF tampering with the living. The
House has, therefore, ordered inquiries into
the management of the Soldiers Home and

their bank deposits, would not hesitate to

a BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING INCIDENT AT
FuSERAL.-There was funeral service held
in Centenary Methodist church, in Rich
moud, on Tuesday. The pastor of the
church, the Rev. Dr.. Edwards, conducted
the services. The subject of the soemnity
was poor white man, who had been back
driver 10 the city. He had died suddenly in
an obscure locality. When the hearse bear
| ing his remains reached the church door, AZ
| tended by q few clrriages containing the in-
| mediate friends and relatives of the deceased,
| it was found that there were q 10 pall.bearers.
| In this awkward extremity it became neces-
sary for the colored sexton OF the church
| and the colored drivers Of the backs to as
sist the two or three white gentlemen pres
| ent in carving the corpse into the church.
The whole company present did not excee d
TWENTY-FIVE persons. Among these were
two Young ladies', whose bearing and style
| of dress indicated refinement and culture.
One of these young ladies had in her hand
an elegantly wrought cross, composed Of
beautiful flowers, and evidently gotten up
| by skilful florist without regard to cost.
The solemnilies were concluded in the
church with the usual remark of the of6cia-
| ting minister: The further services will be
conducted at the grave" And then the cottin
was lifted by the extemporlzed pail bearers
and horne down the aisle Of the church; and
on passing the two young ladies referred 10
the one holding the floral cross quietly arose
and laid it on the coffin of the poor and
almost friendless man. It struck the
spectators. Of whom there were two or
three outside of the little circle of
relatives and friends, as curious incident.
The explanation of the mystery was that the
occupant of that coffin had, a few years ago,
rescued the young lady in question from Inn
minent peril, and most probably from sud
den death. The horse she was riding be-
came upmanageable aud ran away. At the
intersection Of Governor and Main streets
her horse. going down Governor street,
dashed against the horses of the hack as it
was proceeding up Main street. The hack
driver, leaning forward and extending his
bands, grasped the young lady and dragged
her into the boot. She rever forgot the
man and heariug Of his death and funeral
services she attended in person, ard with
her own fair hand laid the tribute of flowers
