Cabinet Gossip-ExpectedA Announcemnt
 of Blafne's Successor To-Day-SenatOr
 Garland's Speech on the TarfR-Other
 Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1f.-It is authoritatively stated that the President will send no import ant nominations to the Senate tomorrow un- less it be that of Senator Frelinghuysen as Blaines successor, but that other nomina- tions will be sent in during the week.
 Some think Congress will adjourn Friday or Saturday for the holiday recess. The House will undoubtedly sit until next week and it is not probable that Speaker Keller will announce the committees before the last of this week or the first of next. Senator Garland has the floor after the morning hour to address the Senate on his bill pro- viding for tariff commission. His speech will be directed mainly to the merit of the bill and will not be in the nature of reply to MT. Morrill, Mir. Garland claims to have been the originator of the commission scheme. Senator Pendleton was also down for speech on civil service reform to- morrow, but probably will be compelled to defer his reinarks. It is quite probable that Garlands speech may be cut of if any Cabi- net nominations are sent in by the President.

WEEKLY CHRONICLE.
The Boy Lincoln.
From The Louisville Courier-Journal

From The Louisville CourierJ ournal.
Lincoln's early youth was spent in
Spencer county, Ind, above Rockport,
beautiful little city browning the abrupt
cliffs which frown over the Ohio River.
He was faithful and industrious, but there
was in him latent Incidence which made
him fond of takirg his rod to fish or with
his gun upon his shoulder, he would roam
in search of game over the long low hills
bursting with red clay. There are living
at present several old citizens who knew
Lincoln well It that time. He was thought
full and his solitary expeditions probably
gave him plenty of opportunity to in
dulge his meditative faculties. The de-
scription of his appearance lhen, his long
lank legs under an awkward body, his
homely face upon which the prominent
nose stood like handle; his long hair
dangling upon his shoulders bring up in
stantly the picture of Ichabod Crane in
the twilight stealing over the hills OF
Sleepy Hollow to pay his court to Fraue-
lein Katrina Won Tassel.
The embryo statesman was full of spirit
and fond of mad pranks. One old gem
tleman in Rockport lives to tell of the
last time he saw Lincoln. He was visiting
the Lincoln homestead. and as he was
coming away they found a trespassing
cow hanging about the gate. The cow
had giving the Lincoln's much annoyance
by entering their garden and committing
depredations. Young Abe was dressed
in suit orleans, without any coat, as it was
summer time, and On his head he wore a
broad brimmed white straw hat, part of
which was cracked and broken. Finding
the COW standing hypocritically meek at
the gate, young Abe leaped astride of her
back, and digging his bare heels into her
sides, the astonished animal broke away
down the road in numbering gallop. "The
last 1 saw of Abe Lincoln" the old gen.
tleman relates fondly' he was swinging
his hat, shouting at the top Of his voice
and galloping down the road on that
thunderstruck cow
In the old country church near the
Lincoln place is a pulpit which was made
by Abe Lincoln and his father. There is
DO kcase in the Evansville custom house
made by the same carpenters and taken
there for preservation. Near where the
old house stood is .dilapIdated corn-crib
with rail flo T the rails for which were
split by young Lincoln. Last FILL mon
ument was ised over Nancy Lincoln's
gr We through the efforts Of General
Veatch, of Rockport. 1t is a plain slab
with plain inscription.'
