WHAT 10 THIS CHANGE 2
OF. Louis rsotel Notes.

st. Louis Hgtel NOTES.
The carayansary Of Paekard's, on St
Louis street, presented Friday morning
O marked contrast In appearance to that
Of many days previous. At the en-
trance there were comparatively few
metropolitans on guard, and the CORR.
doris and stairway were almost silent
and deserted. Whether 1t was on &C
count Of the cold weather. or whether 1t
was owing to change OF ORDERS 1t was
impossible. to find out, but in either
event the fact remains that q wonder
| boarders down there, and o cloud OF
gloom overshadows the much paid Tor
building. Never before since the Rump
has been In session has such q qlie-
tude reigned, and the mild-eyed banana
boy, who vends his cholera morbus
comestfbles to the patriots, seemed al
most disconsolate.
Packard put In an appearance at II
o'clock, looking less pleasant and COM
Portable than usual. He, however, still
said that matters were all right, and
that oil the Geographic "stuff' from
Washington to the press, relative to
Hayes position, was CANNON, and that
his advices were the only correct YER
sions OF the situation OF affairs. He
said he didn't expect anything else to
be done with the credentials OF Kellogg
than was done, and that the committee
would report very soon favorably upon
them. He intim ated that he had infor-
nation of the parties who were con-
eerned in the killing Of Weber In Felici-
ana, and that their names were known,
but he didn't soy that he was without
power to make their arrest.
Something unusual has occurred
down ut the hotel, aud It IL evident that
something Ia not fayorabls to the Peck
ard regime.
IN THE AFTERNOON.
The rump Senate went into an execu-
tive session on meeting, and tho DELHI
erations Of that august body were hence
lost to the world, but the ''sleok" faces
OF those who. upon adjournment,
sought fresh air. showed plainly that
there must have been gay sport on the
inside.
To comfort the dropping spirits OF the
boys, however, 1t seems that the late
would.be Attorney General, W. Ii.
Hunt, had come to their assistance, and
1t was reported about the precincts OF
the building that he had sent dispatch
from Washington, In which he stated
that every Democratic telegram from
Washington city was utterly false.
This had the effect to put the boys up a
little, but 1t was only q very little. Ray,
also, they say, came to Hunts aid and
backed him in his Geographic bum
nombs

WHY IT DID NOT PAY.

1t ls''not strange that Mr.. Evarts does
notdmake money of his farm. Horace
Greeley and Ii. W. Beecher failed be

rorkmen run the farm, but must need
put their own absurd ideas in practice
Mr.. Evsrts fails because his manager i,

his appearance and beginslto talk. Last
year flor instance, Mr.. Evsrts said to his
manager, the very first morning Of the

"Patsey, it becomesrnecessary in view
ofthe superabundsnce Of foreign snd de

fstsey, happy light dawning upon him.
"The eyac; purpose of the crestion Of
