THE CABINET.
No Truth In the Itas,n0rs of Impending
Changes.


No Truth I" the Ie"no's Of Impending
Changes.
Washington Aug. ~ Special to Cincinnati
The perennial ra%or Of an impending
cabinet change, which was sent away from
here last night, turns out to be as baseless
and senseless as such rumors generally are.
Your correspondent has the authority of
the statement that any such change is con-
templated by him or likely to occur, so far
az he knows. In conversation relative to
this and similar rumors, the President said:
II do not know how these reports originate.
They must be purely immaginative, for
there is not the slightest warrant for them so
far as I know" OF his cabinet, as a whole,
he expressed himself entirely satisfied,
both politically and personally. aWhile,
of course, we sometimes differ,,,' :, said
be. ION questions of public policy, as
Independent and thinking men naturally
would, it is not true that there has ever been
any Misunderstanding between US or any
thing unpleasant between US. On the con-
trary, the relations between all the members
Of the cabinet and myself have been from
the first, and are now, entirely harmonious
and pleasant, and it. is one of my ambit ons-
so far as am concerned, that my admins
tration shall be notable as one whose cabinet
was ever existent withit andin it entirely from
first to last, unbroken by any changes, and
unmarried by any flaw of unkindly feeling
"There can never have been any truth, then.
Mr.. President, in rumors Of a serious diff
ference of opinion between yourself and
Secretary Schurz relative to the St. Louis
postmaster?'' "Not the slightest: I regard
Secrt tary Schurz as true. patriotic his
adopted country. and an adopted citizen of
whom the country should be4proud." OF
Postmaster General Key, the President said
he regarded him as the true representative
of the Union sentiment of the South, and
for each other member Of the: cabinet he
had the same kindly and .appreciatiye word.

first, but at len tn becoming possessed with
the notion that he had money in the King
ston Savings bank, he went there, drew q
check for $500, and presented it. 1t was
signed with his full name Strange to say, a
distant relative bearing the same name hap
pened to have an account at the bank, and
"Boots' signature was very similar. A
former teller of the bank, in conversation
with reporter for the Sun at Saugerties,
last week, said:
He had no difficulty in identifying him
self as Tobias Steenberg. and through ex-
treme carelessness the check was paid. It
was sometime before the mistake was dis
covered. Then Roots was found, but he
had spent the money, and it being ascer-
tanned that he was non c0mpos mentas, and
innocent of an intentional crime, nothing
was done about it, and the bank was held
responsible for it's error.'' The story of the
check is still current in Kingston and it's
environs.
.: With the money thus obtained "Boots'' re-
turned to New York, purchased. hand or
gan, and took the same steamship as did the
songstress and her husband. He set the
organ up in the cabin in front of her state
room, and ground it by the hour. He con-
sidered this q serenade. 1t became o nui-
sance. "Boot's" mental condition become
known to the officers, and his organ was
locked up until Charleston was reached.
''Boots' followed the newly married pair
from Charleston to Columbia, and thence to
New Orleans. He ascertained the situation
of the. room Of the. songstress, and then
played in the street as near it as possible. In
Charleston he played in the hallway of the
hotel; but this was soon forbidden by the
proprietor.
After several months, .Boots'' became
thoroughly exhausted mentally and physi.
cally, and found his way back to his home
at Kingston. This was in 1861. Since then
he has wandered from town to town with
children at his heels. He always treats
them kindly, and is favorite.3 He attends
nearly all the shows in the villages, and is
Invariably admitted free. In the Ceiling
wood Opera House in Pougikeepsie especi-
ally he is favorite. he visited the centen.
NAL exhibition, travelling the entire distance
on foot. He attempted to make D. triotic
speech from the platform erected for the
opening exercises. He was Thought by the
police of Philadelphia to be intoxicated. and
was roughly handled. Boots was friphten.
ed. He hurried home as fast as his legs
could take him. and he does not speak of the
centennial without trembling, ~
