President Grant.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE Presi-
dent has not this summer made a single visit
to Washington since est blishing himself at
Long Branch. Heretofore he has made
flying trips here every week or two, for the
purpose Of making some show, at least, of at
tention to the duties OF his office; but this
summer every paper requiring his signature
has been sent to him by special messenger at
heavy expense; and every time a Cabinet
officer has had any matter to bring before the
President, he has been compelled to journey
to Long Branch. The greatest dissatisfaction
is expressed at this protracted absence Of the
President, seriously embarrassing, it does,
the proper progress of the public business
FOR A THIRD TERM.
There is no attempt at concealment on the
part of the friends of Gen. Grant, that he
has determined to run for third term, if he
has any satisfactory assurance OF success. 1t
is said now, by those who are in position to
know, that one OF the principal reasons Of his
secluding himself at Long Branch is that he
may preserve more than ever that silence
which has hitherto proven so successful
policy with him.

what he considered very good supply.
His mother was better next day, but
everything was quiet, and her little son
was allowed to 60 down once more.
When he was coming back with his
mouth full, (for he used his mouth as a
basket) out from behind beam sprang
Smut-nose, the cat, and caught him
with her sharp claws. Oh, my! what
squaek he gave: 1t was 50 loud that
his mother heard him, aud ran to the
knot hole in .he floor to look down and
see what was the matter. She saw the
dreadful cat with her dear mousey in
her mouth She gave one yroan and
tainted dead away. Down, down she
fell, straight through the knot hole, dl-
rectly upon the top Of the head OF that
dreadful cat.
Smut-nose was young, aud had never
been SO attacked before. She gave one
fearful yell, in the beginning of which
the mouse fell out Of her mouth; she
scratched wildly in the air with her
paws, and then darted off out Of sight.
Mrs. Mouse did not 90 to hunt her up,
though she felt quite revived by the
accident But she ran to her little son,
told him the danger was over, and ex-
amined his wounds. His nose was
bleeding, he had two holes ON one side,
where the cat had put in her claws, and
a terrible soreness in his back FROM he:
teeth. But he was as much frightened
as hurt, and his little heart was beating
like the ticking Of watch in ones
pocket. His poor mother tried to help
him up stairs; but when they had
tumb]ed down together about twenty-five
times, she decided to look out for a hid.
ing place down stairs where they could
stay till he should get we'll She found
a nice little place at the side Of the
stairs, where some hay had fallen. The
hay was great blessing, for it made
the little nest quite warm, and was a
good protection, for Smut-nose never
could believe there was a mouse any
where, unless she could see it. She
was as nice in that as good many peo.
pie are We must sometimes believe
what we cannot see.
