One orths Pre.Idsnr,. Dinners.

"OccasIOnal," f" in his last letter from Washs
ington to the Press, describes dinner at the
White House as follows: The hour is general
IL fixed at six O'Clock, p. NJ, the time when
millions are taking their supper. You receive
a card about the size of al ordinary playing
card, and if you are invited by the President the
dimensions Of the carl are double, and generals
" reads as follows:
'Ths President requests the honor Of your company
to dinner on Friday, April &, at O'Clock, P. NJ, An
early answer 10 requested"
IfyOu goto the Presidents, you are expected
to dress in your best clothes, and to wear white
gloves. You are int reduced into the small
reception room, where you find the Presiden t,
Miss Lane. hrs. Judge Roosevelt, James Blu ;
chanan, Jr and the rest of the household. AT
ter being duly presented to them, you wait the
arrival Of the other guests. The private Scores
tary, Mr.. Buchanan, Jr., quietly informs you that
you are to escort 10 the dinner such a lady,
whom he now introduces to you, and the lady
in your company is presented to another gems
ltleman, who IS TO be her companion during the
feast. The hour having arrived, the company
move into the large drawing room, where they
are dazzled by the gorgeous display of plate
and gaslight, and see a number Of graceful
walters, also in white gloves, whose business il
is 10 attend to the guests. The President takes
his seat, not at the head OF the table, but on
the side. exactly midway, Miss Lane acting as
bis vis a vis. YOu find your name beautifully
written on card laid upon the plate, before
the seat you are to occupy, and the entertain
ment begins. The cooking is generally French
cooking, the wines costly and rare; and you
will soon have an opportunity Of hearing the
'great man. talk.
You need not be informed that Mr.. Buchan>
an is one of most delightful diners 10 the
world. He has fund Of small talk for the
ladies', a variety Of ofoldfaShioned anecdotes, and,
ss be is by no means sparing Of the Juice Of the
grape, he grows more easy, more affshle, and
more agreeable as the Tepsst goes on, calling
out one after the other Of the company, and
paving compliments to tho ladies', occasionally
taking wine with them. You never ask the
President TO take wine with you, but wait to be
invited by him. After remaining In this de
HQhtful society for several hours, at giyer
signal from tie President the company rise
retire to the reception room, where they arr
served with coffee and liquors, or, if they preie
it, with brandy, alter which you take you
leave and go home TO remember the hospitali
ties you have enjoyed. Some Of these dinner
are dull and stately enough, but have know
them TO be as delightful as the most genia
could desire,

The Cost Of Mount Vernon.

The patriotic ladies' of the country, after
having paid the greedy Virginia proprietor of
Mount Vernon several times its real value to
obtain possession Of the old home of Washing
ton, will find it an expensive homestead to re
pair and keep in order. The interest on the sum
of $4,000 will be required. Miss PAMELA
Cunningham. the Regent of the Mount Ver-
non Association, writing on the subject, says
Practical men whom l have cons lited on
this subject estimate that it will require from
So, 600 10 $4,000 annually TO cover the ex-
penses which must be incurred if Mount Yer
non is to be kept in repair, and provided with
force sufficient TO protect and preserve the
house and grounds in security and good order
worthy their future national position. Of this
sum, the annual receipts from visitors may
furnish from 1900 to $4,000, although those
of last year only amounted to SLIPS, ,25; but
the remainder cannot be safely relied on, eT
cept from principal invested so as to yield the
requisite interest. The safety Of investment,
as general rule, is in inverse ratio TO lucrative
interest. If we estimate at 6 per cent it
would require principal Of from SIPS, 900 to
$4,000. As we have $50. 600 in possession,
we are already in a position to meet one Of our
obligations-io restore Mount Vernon to lohat
Il uas in its pAlmy days. We have yet to &C
quire the Sl40, 600 needed for annual msinte
nance.

MORNING LEADER.

For the Leader

For The Leader
The Editor of the Dealer seems not little
Piqued by my structures on his editorial. His
articles at least have the merit Of being, in one
sense, suggestive, as they invariably remind
one Of RsOp's fable Of "The Mountain in La
bor.'
He is evidently either not aware that such
intorminablo balderdash can but naussats, in
stead Of edify the public, or, contents himself
with doing, with his modioum Of sense, the
best be can, In justice to our editor it must
be admitted that his valedietory on the issue of
the 10Th is the most sensible article he has
given the public for many month. 1t might
seem too arrogant to intimate even that he
may have prOfsed by the lesson of the hour |!
Ay, men often profit greatly by the very les
sons they affect to desPise.
Newspaper controversy, however, is seldom
relished by those uneonceIned, and it tbecomes
doubly unproftahle when nne of the parties
can so far forget himself as TO stooP to the use
Of scurrilous epithets and garbled quotations in
lieu Of ingenuOusness of discussion.
Were it not a hopeless Undertaking, might
endeavor to show our editor that he exhibits
deplOrable lack Of the power of diseriminR~
ton, or q willful pervefsiOn Of evident facts.
He represents me as arguing that ITO LET the
Mormons work out their own salvation with
fear and trembling is to "pAtronize' POlygamy,
and from this he concludes we should "PStronN
Use" Mahomedan army by nOnresistanee. ee."-
This is a conclusion that legitimately follows
from his olcR premises, and as such it stands in
my fret article. This he ought 10 have dis
covered upol the most cursOry perusal. Its
manifest absurdity, though logically deduced
from his own premises, led me to Introduce it
for the purpose of showing the untenableness
Of his position.
If our editors questions Of "local interest
have not considerably transcended their proper
limits, l very much misjudge. Questions OF
strictly ''local interest" seldom endanger the
national welfare. Has not Slavery long been,
and is not MormOnsm fast becoming very oh
nOxious to every intelligent person in the whole
nation
Men Of quite as much sagacity as our Edi-
tor, clearly regard the twin relics" as ques-
tiOns of more than "lOcal interest."-Mr.
Dealer, adieu. g. Z. s.

Rhode IsIand ELECTION

The defeat is not Republican defeat, for the
nominations which have been defeated were in
no proper sense the nominations of the Repub.
lican party OF Rhode Island. That is the rea
son why they were defeated. Everybody knows
that had Ourpresent excellent Chief Magistrate
Governor Turner, been re nominated, instead
OF Mr.. Padeliord, in accordance with previous
usage and sound policy, he would have beer
re elected with nothing more than formal oppo
sition. This lesson now taught, both mO-ally
and politically, is so emphatic that VIC may
reasonably hope to reap the benefits Of its salu'
taTy teachings for long timc-we might almOs
say for all time to come. 1t is almost superhu
GUS to add the hope that the demoralizing fea-
lures of the canvass will never be repeated. -
