President HAYES said good thing day before

President Hayes said good thing day before
yesterday to Miss Phoebe Couzins, OF st. Louis
who went up to the White House to pay her
respects to him. Miss Couzlns is lady who
has studied law, and who differs from nearly
all the ladies' who have invaded the professions
usually practiced by men, IN beng decidedly
attractive in personal appearance. In the
course Of her conversation Miss CouZins play
fully referred to Gen. Grant having talked Of
appointing her Chief Justice, and said that, had
ne done so, it would have been her duty to
have administered the oath Of Office to him on
Monday. President Hayes replied to her, MY
dear Miss Couzins, in that case ] should have
kissed something besides the book. Washing
