THE LAST MEETING BETWEEN MRS. GARFIELD AND
THE WIVES OF THE CABINET MINIsTERs-GEN-
ERAL GARFIEID's AFFECTION FOR HIS OFFICIAL
FAMILY.
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE]
WASHINGTON, S pit 24.-The last meeting at Ell
beron between Mrs. Garfield and the wives of
the members of her husbands Cabinet is described
as very touching scene II took place on Tues
day evening, when the ladies called, as has been
their custom during the weeks since the Presi-
dent was struck down, TO do what they might by
words of sympathy TO sustain her in her trials She
said that their presence had been constant SUD-
port To her, and had heped her to maintain the for
titude necessary during the illness of her hus-
band; and although she had not always been able
TO see them, the knowledge of their presence had
been always helpful.
she spoke OF conversations with her husband be-
fore that fatal Friday when he referred in warm
terms to the relations between the members of his
official family and their wives and him
self. He did not know much about the
relations between his predecessors and their Cab
inets, but he was sure that Administration had
ever existed with stronger ties of personal friend
snip between those upon whom executive respon-
sibility rested They and their wives seemed more
to him like brothers and sisters than like official as
sociates Heloved them and felt that every one
of them loved him. He had spoken more than once
OF the pleasure of the coming years OF his Admnis-
traton by Of this tender relationship. They
had, Mrs Garfield said, painted their future in
colors bright aud had suffered themselves to an
tlcpate too many of life's best blessings Her own
sorrow at tins trying hour was lesseued by the
remembrance of the ties strengthened by such sad
events Yet her regret was deep that such ties must
be Suudercd

for the men who hold the policies, and
good for me. They paid me 50 on the

my hands before I signed the papers
assigning the policies to them. Now,
they must run the chances of my living

make a very poor speculation, for in
that time they will have to pay more
assessments than they can afford. But
if I die in year they will make small

GEN GRANT IN MEXICO.

| [From tho Now Orleans Democrat, 18th 1
Our latest advices from Mexico state
that Grant was not received with cor
diality on the part of either the gov
crnment or people on his recent visit to
! the City of Mexico. The idea seems
to have gotten abroad and to have
been industriously circulated that he
! has some ulterior purpose in view, and
tho lower classes firmly believe that he
mcuitatcs movement in favor of the
Enumeration of Mexico to tho United
States.
When he arrived. in the city there
was absolutely no one to receive him,
no conveyanccs had been sent for his
baggage or for his party, and he walk
ctl most of the way from the cars to
the hotel alone. This reception was
rendered all the more noticeable and
significant from the magnificent recep-
tion that had Il few weeks before been
rendered by the government and pco-
pie to Gen. Ord and party. 1t is said
that no American has over before been
so royalty entertained in Mexico, as
was Gen. Ord.
There was 4 grand sham battle, in
which all the troops stationed in and
around tho City of Mexico were cngag-
ed !; a superb banquet, which was on Il
scale OF magniliccnCc never Cqualed in
the United States q grand trip, With
military escort, to the celebrated springs
about $50 miles to the south Of the city,
all in honor OF Gen. Ord, who was
greeted with cheers aud acclan,ations
wherever he went. The general and
staff would have met Gen. Gran nj
tho depot on his arrival, but were not
aware OF the exact time of his coming,
and so were deprived of the pleasure
they had anticipated.
There can be no doubt of Grants eX-
trcmc unpopularity in Mexico, as evil
dcnccs of it arc seen and heard on all
sides, ana it was openly said that ex-
President Diaz has left the city ex-
prcssly to avoid meeting him. The eX-
cuse he gave for leaving was that he
had to attend TO some philanthropic
matters in the country. His friends,
however, smiled audibly when mcn-
tioning the affair. 1t is evident that
persons inimical to Grant and his rail-
road interests in Mexico have been in
dustriously misrcpresenting his true
purposes and designs, and it is quite
probable he will succeed in overcoming
the prejudice that now unquestiOnably
exists

Saturday afternoon Hon. Il. T.. Kidd,
OF jackson parish, in company with
several other gentlemen from North
Louisiana, called at this Office, and
showed It's 4 sample ofsyrup produced
from cane grown in jackson, on the
plantation of Judge N. M. Smith.
Hhe syrup is of tho finest quality,
equal, our sugar merchants here de-
clare, to that which commands the
highest market price. The syrup was
produced from regular creole cane
grown in:that high latitude and made
with a Victor horse mill and evapOra-
tors.
Capt. Kidd Informs us that this in
dustry has been carried on for several
years in North Louisiana and is now
rapidly spreading through all tho par
lshc5 adjacent to Jackson, and, in the
home market the syrup commands
from 80 TO 10 cents per gallon, the lands
producing from $50 gallons to 300 gal
Ions per acre according to quality of
the land.
The cane is grown on the hammock
lands it grows luNuriantly, and before
heavy frost is sufficiently matlrcl to
produce the fine and delicious syrup, IL
sample of which Capt. Kidd has shown
us.
Tho growing of this cane and manu-
E,cturc of syrup is now spreading SO
rapidly in the section OF the State re-
icrrcd to; that the people there are
seeking shipping point and market
for it. Indeed, Capt. Kidd and the
gentlemen with him express the opin-
ion that, if Il market for this syrup can
be established here, its production in
short time will supcrccdc cotton plant
ing III many OF the northern parishes.
AS we have said our merchants here
pronounced the syrup of 4 quality to
command the highest market price.
Captain kiud's mission in New Or
leans at this time is, in the interest Of
those farmers in North Louisiana who
prefer going into this industry to plant
ing cotton, and he has met with such a
reception that he is entirely confident of
