THE FIREWORKS EXPLOSION, Death of One of the Victime—Hopeless Con- dition of Another, The lad Thomas Kelly, who was go terribly burned by the disastrous explosion of fireworks on Wednes- day evening, died at the New York Hospital at half- past two o'clock yesterday afternoon. The little fellow suffered the most frightful agonies until a short time before his death, but displayed Spartan- like courage. After his wounds had been dressed seemed much greater than those of his companion and fellow sufferer, Mulcahey, the latter having Seowteny recelved much more serious hurts. On own account Kelly seemed to have no anxicty whatever. “Do you think I shall be all rignt by Sunday, doctor?” he asked, Receiving a kindly, evasive answer, the little fellow said:—“I hope I shall be able to fo home on Sunday, because m) mother is a poor lone widow, and she'll fecl bad it Tm not ome ce Kelly was a bright little bo; of abont fourte’n years aha was employed as cler! in the store of J.

Excursion of the Gulick Boat Club of New York, A fortnight of earnest and careful preparation by the members of the Gulick Boat Club matarea yes- terday In a delightful and eminently successful ex- cursion to Port Chester, At half-past nine in the morning a brilliant and numerous party of ladies and gentlemen assembied on board of the Virginia Seymour, at the foot of Christopher street. The day ‘Was all that could be desired; the broad surface of the Sound presented scarcely a ripple, and agentie breeze played over it lightly an erally. An efficient orchestra furnished unexcepfionable music, and in dancing and merry-making the two shot hours of the glided swiftly away. Arriving at Port the company proveeded at once to Fox Island—a verdant spot, shaded with the leafiest of trees and redolent with sweet-smelling flowers and shrabbery. Here extensive prepara had been made for the reception of the Gulicks’ guests.

An extra session of the Cabinet was held to-day a noon, all the members, with the exception of Mr. Creswell, being preseut, The meeting was along one, lasting until after four o'clock, Most of the business was of a routine character, pertaining to the departments, and which had accumu- lated during the President's absence. It is ascertained that the question of the test oath being administered to the members elect of the Virginia Legislature, and the approaching poli- tical cainpaign in Mississippl were not referred to, although the partica immediately interested were confident that they would be brought up and de- finitely settied. With regard to the test oath in Virginia, it was thought that tnasmuch as the mat- ter bas been oMicially referred to the Attorney Gen- eral for an opinion it would be improper to bring it mtothe Cadinet pendiag the preparation of that opinion, The Atiwrney General did not iathnate that he was through considering the question, and nothing was done, There is unquestionably a good deal of feciing among the members of the Cabinet individually relative to the Missisaippt campalga, but it could not be brought up in any way except the President had volunteered to do tt for the purpose of asking advice, which he didnot, It is understood that the Cuban question occupied con- alderable of che tne of the Cabinet, but in what shape it was laid before them, or what conclusions were reached, it seems impossible to ascertain to- night. Several of the Cabinet officers who have been questioned on the subject refuse to say any- thing about tr, though they do not deny that it was discuased. They shake their beats ominously, look very wise, and say that tlme will develop what was done. ‘This ovening Secretary Fish entertaifed the Preat- dent at dinner, and most of the Cabinet officers were present, General Grant Refuses to Eat His Breakfast at Welker’s Because He Can’t Get a Pri- vate Room. The Whue Fouse is in a topsy-turvy condition jast now, and the servants, in imitation of their master and uustress, aro taking # little recreation, When the President arrived this morning his reception was rather cool and disheartening after the ionizing at Long Branch. About eight o’clock he sallied forth, like an ordinary government clerk, in search of his breakfast, Ie was resoived to patronize one of the fashionable establishments, probably with‘ view to getting a breakfast that would remind him in some degree of Long Branch. He hauled up at Welker's, which isa short distance from the White House. The President was on foot and was dressed as usual ina black aiab-tailed frock coat and a tall, black stovepipe hat. Going up the steps he looked in at the diningroom, where a gentleman was sitting at breakfast. Grant had a bewildered air about him, as if he had got into the wrong shop. “Good morning, General,” said the gentloman at breakfast, recognizing him. Grant nodded mechanically and muttered some- thing that sounded like “Good morning," all the time keeping his eyes at work, aa if looking for a place to sit dowa, Finally he went up to the desk of the restaurant and accosted the genius who “takes your money.” GRranT—“'I want a private room, and breakfast ag quick as possible." ‘On. 96, 1869, Bavstion sure the length of his purse)—‘ You can’t have @ pri- vate room here, sir, Taere’s the dining room,’ pointing to the room where the geatleman already mentioned was quietly enjoying his beefsteak and coffee. ‘The President !ooked confused and astonished at the idea of his not being considered good for nia breakfast like auy other man. He at once turned and beat a rapid retreat out ot the house, evidently disgusted with his reception. When he had gone, inquired if he knew who that person was.

A wag who was at hand suggested that hereafter when the President is lying around loose in search of his breakfast he should have a label to his coat with the inscription “I am Grant, President of the United States.’ Execative Appointments, The President to-aay appointed Archibald Ster- ling United States Attorney for Maryland; B.

Illness of the Postmaster General. Postmaster General Creswell is still at bis home near Elkton, Maryland, sufferir, from a broken arm. He was therefore not present at the Cabinet meeting 30-day, and was the only member absent, Charges Against the New Orleans Collector. If the President and the Secretary of the Treasury are ignorant about the alleged mismanagement of the New Orleans Custom House, it is not certainiy for lack of charges and complaints made against the oMciais thereof. Within the last week there have been at least half a dozen different parties here from the Crescent City, all burdened with the most incred- {bie stories of frauds upon the customs revenue. Among these are several prominent members of the radical party. The fact that the President's brother- in-law is the Collector makes the subject somewhat delicate to handle, but Secretary Boutwell has insti- tuted measures to insure a fair investigation. Selection of Stamps for the Whiskey Trade.

Hoboken, ANOTHER MYSTERY—SUDDEN DISAPrRARANCE OF AN INFANT,—About ten day# ago a young lady named Jenny Laurell gave birth to a child in her parents’ home, at the Weehawken oil docks. The baby gave signs of perfect health and everything went on quietly for afew days, when some of the neighbors who had cared for the mother dnring her illness, missed the tnfant from the house and unme- diately demanded where it was. They wero told that the child had been lost, and such evasive re- plies were made to all persona who made inquiries about the baby. At Lo er complaint was made be- fore Justice Depnget to the above effect, and that gentieman ordered a search to made. ‘This, of course, proved fruitless, and the case was left in statu quo, the people of the vil- lage despairing of either discovering the infant or compelling either of its parents to declare all they knew tn the matter.

Last night she appeared as Nan, the Good for Noth- ing, a ‘acter altogether different from any tm oh she had hitherto been seen by the New York pubiic, and in the character of Ixioa, with which she canes that same ubIIC, rformance iu the ‘Good Roun it must ie said, as she desired, tial & waa for something.”” She was really good, and deserved fully the hearty plaudits which she re+ ceived. These plaudits she obtained for her play- ing, but no less hearty were those which testified her popularity and which hauled her when a soot; face, peeping around the door in the fat was recognized as hers. The reception and re- cognition of her success were indeed most Sattering, and must have served as a healing balm, if any were needed, to her spirits. Mr, Beckett was also ted in @ manner which showed beyond a doubt ho had made himself a rite. In the “Good for Nothing” Messrs.

This week closes up the reign of burlesque at this establiah- ment, and to-night and to-morrow night the bill of last night will be repeated. THE WEEKLY HERALD.
