tonight at the White House levee.
President Buchanan had to 60 through

the inaugural ceremonies day before
yesterday and remained over for to-

AS one newspaper correspondent put
st: They threw the impreSsiveneSS Of
warm personal admiration into the

The new President looked remarkably
well. He remained in the reception
which Is the usual hour for withdraw
ing. The tide of arrivals was at its
height at that hour.
In the center of the oval room Miss
Harriet Lane, the Presidents niece and
official hostess. received the visitors
with ease, grace and self-posseSsion that
indicated she was no novice in perform
ing such duties, Not few impression
able young men performed an extern
sive round of the great circle sailing"
through the various rooms to get an
other look at her attractive face.
Former President Pierce was present
and held levee of his own in the east
room. Many of his friends and admir-
ers pressed around him there to take
his hand once more.
Among the well known persons noticed
in the vast throng were: vice Presi-
dent Breckenridge. Messrs. Cass, Cobb,
Floyd and Toucey Of the new cabinet;
Senators Givin of California, Bigler Of
Pennsylvania and Mallory of Florida:
Representative Laurence NJ. Keitt Of

ter Loring of Salem, Mass; Benjamin
F. Hallett of Boston and Healy, King
and McMasters, the artists.
The rush continued without diminu-
ton until the closing hour. and Their
began a general scramble for hats,
shawls and overcoats.
Profiting by past experience, many
visitors seemed to have studied to pro-
cure for the occasion outer garments Of
the least possible value, so that they
