THE PREsrDESr.-After to-day, we hear, the
President will be at his Office in the Executive
Mansion between the hours of IL m and p. m,
daily, for the transaction of such business as
may require his presence there. At all other
times, we presume, he will be at his delightful
retreat for the summer, the Soldiers Home,
where, if not overwhelmed by the curiosity
hunters and ofice-seekers, he can transact
twice as much business requiring careful study
on his part, as in Washington.

REPREHESSIBLE.-The practice of publish.
ing garbled accounts Of the testimony delivered
before the Naval Courts of Inquiry, now in
session in this city, appears to us most repre-.
hensible one-One that cannot fail to result in
much mischief In no instance has a full re.
port of the testimony in any one of the cases
been published; and no one can possibly come
to just conclusions upon any such case, unless
having before him all the testimony on both
sides. The practice is invariably to publish
but summaries Of the evidence, or portions Of il
making in favor of the appellants, where any is
published. Of course, as the Courts must de.
eide upon the whole testimony, it is not unlike
ly that in moro or less cases their judgment
will necessarily be against the conclusions nat
urally arising from the testimony in them which
the public see in the newspapers
These facts must lead to public dissatisfac.

Its savage members were duly presented to his
Excellency, who held brief council with them,
wherein no details of matters of business were

to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for

that he had long wished to see his Grandfather,

the manner in which be had received and treated

AN APPLICATION FOR New Posr OFFICE
sLIGHrLY HIGHFALUTIN, THOUGH IN DEAD
tARNEsr-Singular papers are sent to the
Departments here at times, not a few of them
embracing quizzicalities of thought, purpose or
expression that would grace the columns of
Punch, though penned in dead earnest. We
are indebted to Tennessee correspondent,
keenly alive 10 the realization of all good
things, for the following copy of petition not
long since forwarded from the district in which
the Postmaster General resides when at home.
asking for new post office. Our correspondent
assures US that it was written and signed in
dead earnest, and that its style is to the letter
that OF its really unsophisticated author. As
the reader Will perceive, it is very long pole,
and should righttully knock down the persim.
mons; so, we trust that Mr.. Postmaster General
Brown, himself proverbial for quiet but keen
relish for the quizzicalities of the slab side of
human nature, has granted its prayer. We
suppress the names, &c, attached to the paper

How ALE STRENGTHENED HIM.
We believe we have got hold ofan
original anecdote that never was
printed before. A student at one of
our State colleges had barrel Of ale
deposited in his room-contrary of
course to rule and usage. He Eeceiy-
ed a summons to appear before the
President who said:
"Sir, ! am informed that you have
a barrel of ale in your room2"
4" Yes. SIR"
Swell, what explanation have yon
to give 2"
I" Why, the fact is, sir, my physician
advises ne to try little each day as
a tonic, and not wishing to stop at the
varions places where they retail it as
a beverage, | concluded to have Il bar
rel brought to my ROOM"
" "Indeed, and have you derived any
benefit from the use oft ~
"Ab, yes, sir. When the barrel
was first taken to my room, two days
since, | could scarcely lift it. Now, |
can carry it with the greatest ease
We believe the witty student was

IMMoRTALITY.-IIow beautiful the
following from the pen of Prentice,
and how happy the heart that can see
these beauties as he portrays them:
Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with a beauty
that is not of earth, and thus pass
away, and leave lis to muse On their
faded lovelinessl Why is it that the
stars, which hold their festival around
their midnight thrones, are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, for
ever mocking us with their unap-
proachable glory9 And why is it
that the bright forms of human beau
ty are presented to our view, and then
taken from us, leaving the thousand
dreams of afiiiction to flow back in
Alpine torrents upon our heart We
are born for a higher destiny than
that of earth. There is a realm where
the rainbow never fades, where the
stars will set out before US like islands
that slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful being that now passes
before us like a meteor will stay in
our presence foreverl
