deed" said pretty, young st. Paul society
lady the other day. For long time used
every Sunday to teach class of little boys
at the Mission Sunday school, branch of
our church at home. There were quite a
number of them ranging from eight to four
teen years old, and they were just as intelli-
gent and smart as l could have wished. But,
do you know, the first Sunday that l took
that class l was amused. OF course, wanted
to know their names, where they lived, and,
in fact, who they were. Questioning them
in turn found their answers quite satisfac-
tory, until l came to a bright little fellow
about ten years old. He told me his name
and where he lived, but when / asked him
his fathers business he did not reply at once.
l treasured him wish my brightest smile, but
felt doubious when he said he guessed he
couldn't tell me that. My curiosity was now

NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
The White House and Its Numerous Callers
-Presid emit Adams and His Letter.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The first official
ton of his Cabinet. His second was to ap
pend his signature to the commission OF U.
s. Grant as an officer on the retired list of
the army, with the rank OF General.
The crowd of callers at the White House
to-day was even greater than that of yestsr
day. They began to arrive before the doors
were opened, and continued coming in large
numbers all day. The President received
some of them in the library, Others Ia the
East room, just as happened to be conven-
lent This arrangement kept him busy run
ming up and down stairs. The msjority of
callers consisted of delegations from differ
eDt States.
The President to day accepted the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Arthur's Cabinet, anu signed the
commissions of the new Cabinet officers.
They will probably enter upon the discharge
OF their duties tomorrow.
Among the later callers were Representa-
tives Randall, Hancock, Fielder and Curtin,
Senator Pugh, A. K. Mcclure. Postmaster
General Hatton; the Randall Club, OF Pitts
burg; the Governors Guards, OF Columbia,
S. c.; Colonel Oliver Payne, of Ohio, and
Mrs Tyler, widow of ex-President Tyler.
Commander Mahan, commanding the
United Yates steamer Wachusett reports to
the Navy Department that he sailed from
Calais to day for San francisco, via Panama,
and that he arranged with the Government
Of Ecuador that the American prisoner San
ties, con fined in Guayaquil shall have fair
trial. He adds that Santos is in no danger
from violence.
Charles Francis Adams, in his letter to
Senator Hoar seems to have fallen into
an error regarding the origin of and re-
sponsibility for the Pacific Railroad funding
measure, which he discusses. The PROPOSE
ton to eoualize the interest payments
upon the Pacific Railroad Company's in
-debtedness through the entire period OF
sixty years, is only embodied in a bill intro
duced by Senator Hoar upon his only re.
sposnibility, and was never discussed in the
Judiciary Committee. The pending propo-
sition OF the committee is embodied in an
amendment to the first bill reported, and
provides that the semi-annual payments
from the beginning are to include the inter
est on the entire amount of unpaid debt.
This also has received the approval of the
Judiciary Committee o. the Senate. Hoar's
bill was introduced, ss be stated, in the
Senate with a view of calling out the
opinions of business men, and for the same
purpose q copy was doubtless sent to Mr..
Adams before its introduction.
The Star Gays: Represen tatives Bayns
Hisceck and MillaYd called upon President
Cleveland yesterday, and BAD quite q long
talk with him. They told the President
the approved of the attitude he had taken
in his inaugural, and in carrying out the
policy therein declare he would have tbAil
hearty support. In this they spoke as Re
publcans, and said they believed they
spoke for large majority of their party
The President received their advances IL
in the best possible spirit and thanked then
with much feeling and earnestness for their
promises.

Drying Clothes in the white House.

Washington Letter in the Cleveland LEADER
The Whits House covers about one-third
OF an acre and it has cost up to the present
time about 81 600, 900. 1t is modelled after a
castle ia Dublin, and the architect, who was
South Carolina man named Hoban, got
$500 for drawing the plans. When it was
first built. away back in the nineties, it cost
$3OO,C00, but the British burnt Quit insides
and its cost has since added to that sum
about 81, 700,0 900. In 1t all of the Presidents
since Washington have lived, and each has
added TO its beauties and its expenses. 1
think it was John Quincy Adams who bought
the first billiard table which was used in it.
But IN John Adams time it was only half
furnished, and Abigail Adams used to dry
her clothes in the big east room. Year by
year, however. the furnishing has gone on.
until now II is q sort Of a museum Of ait and

PRISONERS scared to death.

PHILADELPHIA, March 6-Yesterday, when
DIR. Goersen was hanged, two covicts con-
fined in the prison were terribly affected by
the knowledge of what was going on. James
Barrett, fifty-fve years old, confined in cell
near the gallows, showed intense interest in
the hanging. but information was denied
him. His cell was sealed during the execu-
ton, but Barrett must have heard the foot
steps of the solemn procession on its way to
the gallows. When his cell was opened he
was found dead. His death is attributed to
fright. The other man, General Taylor, un-
der sentence of death for murder, became
delirious with fear. He heard the noise as
be sat in the cell, and the echo of the fall
ing doors had hardly died away when the
man was found writhing in commissions.

The death of Mrs. Hannah Swasey, who
died in Alameda on Thursday last,at the,ad-
vanced age OF ninety-slx years and six
months. is worthy of more than passing no.
tice. She was the granddaughter of Lord
Plaisted, who left England on account of
religious persecution, his property being
con iscated. he settled near Dover, N. H.,
where Mrs. SwassV was born. General
Washington drilled his men on her father
farm. and in passing on one occasion he
took the little girl in his arms and kissed
her. Mrs. Swssey was very intelligent and
attractive, and beloved by all who knew her.
She retained her menta faculties unimpaired
to the hour of her death, and to the last
spoke cheerfully to those around her. She
was also remarkably active and attended to
her household duties up to ten days before
her death. She made the trip across the
continent twice after che was eighty years OF
age.
