THE LATTRR STICKS TO HIS ROSECRANS STORY. St. Louts, Mo., March 29.—Thomas M. Nichol, the New York banker, arrived here this morning. In reference to Gen. Grant’s dental that he had ever conversed with him concerning Garfield and Rosecrans, Mr. Nichol reaffirmed to a Post-Dis- patch reporter most positively his former state- ments. Mr, Nichol says there ts nothing remarkable in ‘the fact that Gen. Grant does not remember him, as he was only oné of hundreds who called on him and had a few minutes talk, but he himself would not be likely to forget that the only call and con- versation he had with Grant. He called on him In his room in the Fifth Avenue hotel at Gen. Garfield's request and gave him the letter from Garflelde After reading the latter, conversation ensued, and General Grant made the remarks about Garfleld and Rosecrans which have been al- ready published. Mr. Nichol concluded by stat- tion of the fact that he micht be called on to sup- port them. — The Washington Conferenco. PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH DAY—PREACHERS ELECTED TO DEACONS ORDERS.

H., March 25—The resignation of George E. Lane as treasurer of Rockingham county has this morning been forwarded to the proper authorities. The report that Gov, Bell and W. N. Dow are on Lane’s bond _as treasurer, is unfounded. His bonds In that office, instead of being for $20,000, as published, amount to $50,000, and the county will fose nothing by his transac tions. ‘The probabilities are that Lane will secure bail on or before Monday next. It 1s generally be- Heved that his confessions have been truthful in all particulars, and that every effort has been made by hlin to make restitution, so that_now he is penniless. ‘The general sentiment of the com- munity seems to be in favor of rendering him all needed assistance in his troubles, eau A Young Lady Fatally Burned.

DAILY LIFE AT THR WHITE HOUSR—AFPATRS RUN ON BUSINESS PUINCIPLES—THE PRESIDENTS “DaY"— Opp VISITORS, ETC. ‘Tho White House under the present administra- tion is truly a place of business, and ts run on tuorough business principles. President Arthur has set apart certain days of the week for special pur- poses, and all the employes know that nothing can bo allowed to Interfere with the regular work for each day. One day in every week the President has reserved for himself. Few people realize the constant strain to which the President Is sub- fected. It 1s absolutely necessary that he should have some relief from the pressure which 1s brought to bear upon him from morning until midnight. President Garfield gave himselt day and night to the duties of his office, and the con stant strain on his nerves and strength told upon ium Very apparently, even in the short time that he held the office. “At frst, Saturdsy was the day chosen by President Arthur when “he should se- clude himself from the crowd of sightseers and bus- {ness callers Who dafly besiege the White House but us that day 1s the one when Senators and Representatives are most at leisure to look atter affulrs which necessitate a call upon the President, (both houses of Congress usually adjourning over that day), he decided upon Monday as day. Tuesdays and Fridays have long been “Cabinet days.” “Members of Congress, however, are te. | ceived on those days trom 10 until 12 o'clock. The j latter hour ts the time for the regular Cabinet meeting. “Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are whit are known 3s “business days,” when those who have business affairs to lay betore the President, or who merely wish to see him and shake him by the hand are received from 11 till Oneo'clock. The President generally breakfasts about 9:30 o'clock, lunches at two if the pressure of business allows him, and dines at 7:30 o'clock. About four o'clock he’ goes out driving. During the evening he almost always has a number of callers, either personal friends or officials with | whom he has appointments. When the last cailer has departed, ‘the President usually devotes Several hours to matters which he has set aside to be considered at this time or which has been crowded over during the press of the day. It is at this time that a decision 1s reached on many matters of weight, Including frequently important appointments, The rules which have been laid down in the White Honse are not deviated from, except in case of spect:1 appointment. In tact business 18 done somewhat as it was under THR JACKSON AND GRANT REGIMES. | Not but that tvwas thoroughly done under the Hayes administration, but for some reason or oth- er there was not as much to be attended to then as now. But, then, when Jackson and Grant oc- cupied the White House, more assistants were em- ployed.

He 1s the bearer of the President’s messages and nom! nations to the Senate, He Is very quiet and un assuming, docs his work weil, and is likely to hold his position for a good while.’ Thera are but two executive clerks—W. H. Crook and C. M. Hendley. ‘The former is the disbursing clerk of the White House. He has a desk in the reception room, When General Grant was President General Dent was in charge of this room. It was his business to cull out of the crowd of callers almost always present those whose business had no direct reli- Jon With the President, and who conid be referred to the head of a department. He had charge of the room tor four years, and then went to bis reg’ ment. Mr. Croox succeeded him, and has be in charge ever since. Mr. Crook's record 13 a very creditable one. He has been in the execu- tive employ longer than any one else. He first came to the White House under President Lincoln, and has been there elghteen years.

Albert, the driver, and Jerry, the footman, must not be for- gotten. They were well known under Gen. Grant’s admintstration, when they looked well behind a fine team. They didn’t seem to take much in President Hayes’ turnout. It is very aoubeta it President Arthur, who has a turnout befitting a Prestdent, will allow his driver to hold the reins in one hand and a large umbrella in the other. ‘There is one man about the White House author- ized to niake arrests—Sergeint Dinsmore.

New Yorx, March 2ith. Anna Dickinson has made her first appearance here as Hamlet. It was the most distressing fail- ure on record. Iam very anxtous to avoid as much as possible saying anything brutal about her per- forme@pee, and I wish particularly to remember ‘that she Is a good, honest, clever, ttle woman, of original thought, unsullied reputation, and was. one of the most Drilliant lecturers of the past de cade. She is now a spinster. Whatever could have Induced her to attempt to play Hamiet? Her best friends strove to prevent her, but she would not heed them, and as a result 1s overwhelmed with such a flood of contempt, derision, and cen- ure a8 NO woman ever belore received. Every paper in New York has made her the subje; of the most cutting comments. Her recep- tion by the audience was extraordinary. The Fifth “avenue theater was packed with her friends, but her acting was so atrocious, her voice ‘so disagreeable and her presence such on eyesore, that the second act they began to go out tn shoa’ During the next act hurried out wille she was speaking, roughly slamming the doors and jeering the Hamnier, Tt was a remarkable audience. The head of Theo- dore Tilton at one end and Jenny June at the other end of the balcony, were only tae limits of ople, cranks, women’s rights movers and U ike, who were widely known ten years ago, but are ‘now almost forgotten and always snubbed. No one pays any attention to these people now, but they mustered strong for the great debut When Anna Dickinson’ came onthe stage there Was.a roll of applaus> followed by a moment of uneasiness and then a positive: thrill of disrust.

So far so good. Up to this point ail shows Of this kind are Uiesame. When a medium goes {nto a cabinet there ts always a suspl ‘ion In the mind of skepilcal sp-ct ators that the medium isnot there, but somewhere else, and very ac- tively engaged at that, To prevent this the meaium in thls instance Kept the curtains $0 drawn that her dgure could be seen plainly re- eliuing in any easy position on the lounge. She covered herself on lying down with a blanket, saying that when in the trance stite she was pecullanly vulnerable to drauhts. Ail sorts of spirits made their appearance ia the room. One of the vig.tors s:w her dear mother’s spirit and ws permitted to give the spirit. an affe~ Uonate hug. There was no end to the cousins and aunts presented. Still the fzure in the trance stite did not stir. The medium’s hus- band sat quictiy by, wpparently as Innocent a be- Hever as the most devout spir.tualist In the com- pany. One of the spirits that came out muflled in Miuston and cretoune lace beckoned to a young physiclin who was sitting in an obscure cornet of the room, He advanced, apd,springing like a cat atthe spirit torm, clasped it about the waist. It was solld flesh—that is, what there was of It, for Mrs. Hull 1s of rather slizht build. ‘The spectators acreamed, the medium struggled to get loose, and the lamb-like husband pounced on the offeridinz physician and began pepp-ring him. Tue figure that reclined with so much grace on the lounge proved to bea stuffed one. Scathing anstnemas were hurled after the audacious youu piysiclan as he hurried away trom the house. A SLIGHT WONDER. New Jersey, laughed at as much as it 1s, often comes to the front. The latest thing to bring that | littlestrip of foreign country into pubilc notice Is a remarkable phenomena that has been taking plac® at Passaic, and which recalls some of the witch- craft tales years ago in England. Ittsclatmed that glass, in some mysterious way, constitutes a art of a thirtecn-year old boy's anatomy, and That as many’ as seventy pleces, have Issued’ frou different parts of his body. ‘The beginning, as yelnted by (mie, boys mother, was) siutt che lad, about four years oy on some broken glasy and cut iis great toe. Some time ago the boy came home complaining of pain in his foot. When his stocking was removed a large plece of glass was found. It was an inch and a half long. The flesh cut produced by this was dressed. In a few min- utes the boy eried out again agit tn great pain. Again the stocking was taken off, and lo another jece of glass larger than the first adhering to it. phe family became alarmed and kept a.close watch, and several of the watchers declare that they saw glass actually 1ssuing from the wound. Physicians ‘were sent for, and with their hard-hearted incred- ulity ridiculed the idea. But this Is nothing to what occurred afterward. The boy experienced great pain in his right arm, and piece after piece of broken glass 1s ed from a small pimple. |The boy, whose name 1s Rose, talks about his expe- rience with the fluency and calmness of a philoso- her. 80 did those mysterious psychologt=al prob- m-children*who were thought to be bewitched. THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST IN NEW YORK. 4. It 1s generally agreed among republicans here that Governor Cornell will not be able to get a renomination, and tht he would be defeated if he did. When he made the deal with Tammany— | which seems to be beyond dispute—he cut his own throat. The suddenness with which he marred a good record so near its close was simply acrobatic. ‘hat he had nothing togain by the trans.ction does not lessen the offence, and puts him tn a still worse light by layi him open to the traputa- tlons of folly. {¢ this were not he has Conkling and his faithful followers dead against him. When the ex-Senator was struggling for Vindication at Albany last summer, he was expected to put his shoulder to the wheel, With his powers’ a8 governor his ald would have been valuable, but he didn’t fultill ex- tions. Conkling and’ his adherents then and ere resolved that they would be avenged, and had Gov. Cornell maintained a virtuous course to the last he would have met with sturdy opposition from this quarter. | The siplwarts have al shaken their heads and remarked that his - nation cannot be. ‘do not oe Lhenal igened of their own animosity, ‘Dat tandly say. it the ‘Tammany deal has set the farmers inst bim. if Mr. Cornell had not been so asto a sommersault from the of his clean Tecord, he would have been put ina hole anyhow.
