carried ont the Lords will" After this
conversation lie resumed his correspond
ence, which is apparently voluminous,
and appeared to suffer under no excitement OF
emotion whatever. Whether this apathy is real or
assumed for purpose matter for conjecture. If
assumed, il is doubtless part OF his plan to make
out a case of mild insanity.
The Jail still continues to be point of attraction,
and to-day there were many visitors and among
the number good many women. Like all other
public buildings in the city, it has been appropri-
ately draped with black. As if to keep alive the
belief that mob will attempt summary punishment
of the assassin poster circulated to-day printed
in heavy black letters and bearing broad black

PREPARING FOR TIE FUNERAL.
Arrangements for meeting the funeral party at the
Sixth Street Depot, where the President received
his death wound have been nearly completed. The
party will consist of several detachments of troops
representing each of the service, together with
body of police and company of District militia
From the depot the remains of the President will be
escorted directly to the Capitol where the Sergeant
alarms of the House will take charge, and the
functions of the military will cease. Mrs. Garfield
and her children will probably go to Colonel Rock
wells, as the work of packing up has far ad-
vanced to render the White House unfit place of
residence-an objection which will be strengthened
by the painful associations the place would call up
and the feeling of loneliness she would have on
entering again the familiar rooms.
President Arthur will probably again stop at the
house of Senator Jones' Indeed it is not likely that
he will live at the White House for many months.
President johnson did not move into the White
House, any of its rooms as Offices, for
some months after the death of Mr. Lincoln.
