In the morning he attended church with Airs. Cleveland, and in the afternoon sat down to dinner with out comnanv. The death of Ex- ' Secretary Manuing cast a shadow ! over cabinet circles as well as the J White house, and a nunilicr of i receptions were omitted through1 respect to his memory. AVe have had no congress this week. Some f the senators and representatives went home to eat their turkeys, but I notice that there are more here now than ever before at this season. This is because of the interstate commerce law, which prevents the issue of passes to oncrressmen. Statesmen now travel like ordinary men. They pay for their sleepers and not a few of them travel iu common coaches.

Mrs. rievelanj'n gift wan rather a pretty notion. It consisted of a Ioo.se cluster of Marshal Nifel ami I'apa fioutitr rose, arranged in a vase, there being a rose for every year of Mr. Corcoran' life. Mr. Corcoran in looking back through the long vista of lug eighty-nino years, remarked one day that he had shaken the hsud of every American president except Washington, who died, aid he, ' before 1 began to run about the White house." Hat -he had evidently forgotten the excep tion: in the casa of President Lincoln. Mr. Corcotau vn not on sufficiently good terms with hiiu or his adminis tration to have shaken haniU with the war president. Mr. Corcoran was at that time so warm a sympa thizer with the South that he found it necessary to leave Washington for a time.
