James Walsh, New York AS soon as
the President was relieved from the pres
sure by tourists he invited the campaign
speakers TO quiet conference in the main
corridor OF the Executive Mansion. Colonel
O'Beirne acted as spokesman and assured
the President of the qualification of the
delegation who represented the Irish Re
publican Union that success had crowned
their efforts on the stump.
at is pleasure to meet the Spell-Blnd-
ers," said the President, and his face was
illumined with smile which contrastcd
strongly with the set expression OF counte-
nance few minutes before when the dear
public were subjecting the Chief Magistrate
to the pump-handle process, "and my only
regret is that cannot spend more time in
such agreeable society" From the White
House the delegation sauntered over to the
State Department to pay their respects to
Secretary Blaine.

1t is pretty safe to bet that the President
will smile when he grasps the hand OF a
child at public reception in the White
House and this afternoon furnished ocular
demonstration of the fact. While adults
Of fboth sexes were regarded with sort OF
"l-suppose-yout uthink-it-is-my-duty" ex-
preston and perfunctory manner, as soon
as there was break In the line OF hand
shakers caused by little miss look Of
genuine pleasure came into the eyes Of the
President as he took the tiny hand aud said
cheerily, "How do you do, little onea'
This was accompanied with a pleasant
greeting, and In several instances the Pres
ideDt turned completely around aud fol-
lowed his little visitor towards the big door
leading to the private parlors. Stalwart,
broad-shouldered Dinsmore is used as u
breakwater for the President against the
encroacbments Of the crowd, and stands at
the left Of the occupant Of the White
House, almost touching his elbow BY
this arrangement jostling is an impossi-
bility, and the receptions are more deco
rous than hitherto.

Colonel Pat Donan, who knows more
men, women and children, socially, in the
United States than any other man under
the flag, is laid up at the st. James Hotel
with jungle fever contracted during one of
his expeditions through the swamps of Cen
tral America. The Colonel may be little
lonesome in this dull weather, when he can
not get out of the sick room to cast his
lustre upon the giddy whirl OF society and
more reflective amidst the smiles of lovely
women, but he may lay the fattering unc-
tion to his soul that he is not forgotten, and
that at many a wine and wassail there will
be one vacant chair, because he can't get
around to fill 1t, as nobody else can. The
Colonel isn't going to die, or anything like
that, but he is sick enough to
stay in his room quite as close
as II he were on, his last
round, and for one so active as he the con-
flnement is not greatly improving to his
ordinarily sweet and gentle disposition. II
is quite good form, however, to be laid up
| for while after the season closes, and when
the Colonel appears In rejuvenated beauty
and esprit du corps week or SO before
Easter his friends will have double .caus,
for rejoicing at this rejoiceful season.
