ent places within his gift, To all who
approached him he gave ready audience,
but he was simply overwhelmed by mum
Ders. He asked til press representatives
to announce that he would not receive
delegations after this week. He has re-
ceivei all the applications and recon-
mcndations necessary 10 guiGe him With
regard TO appointments. He viii consult
these letters and recommendations. and as

relief from the press Ire OF personal inter
views he viii not be able 20 attend 20 the
public business. as many bills being
passed by the Legislature are claiming his
attention, I'm addition 90 the claims OF in

DEATH OF Miss STEUART.-Mist
Sarah A. Steuart, the last member o.
one of the oldest families In this city
died at her home on Cameron street al
an early hour this morning. She was
a daughter of the late James M. and
| Elizabeth Sttusrt, and sister of the
late Capt. James M. SteusIt. Confed
crate officer, who was for several years
postmaster of the House of Represent
stives and at one time sheriff OF this
city and county. The decsase d was SO
years old, and she had been house
bound for several years by injuries sus-
tsiued by an accident. Throughout
her entire life she exemplified all the
virtues which are the natural fruits OF
a devoted Christian life. and her good
works. especially towards those who
needed helping hand, will follow her
and her memory be cherished by many
to whom she had often proven friend
indet d-nOt coming with hollow bene-
dictions, but with the substantial evil
deDces of her esteem. Amid all the
dark paths of sorrow she was destined
to follow she never lost view OF that
bright star of hope which points to q
higher and more satisfactory existence,
and looked forward to future which
would more than compensate for the
trials and sffi ctions here. Destined
to hear the clods of the valley fall upon
the forms of those near and dear to her
as one by one of her household passed
away, and to be the last to pay the
debt of mature, she bore her bereave.
ments with spirit OF humility and
submission. And now having herself
passed through the dark waters which
sep rate this from the other world, she
is once more mingliDg with the dear
ones gone before at the threshold OF
her eternal existence.
