The President and Mrs. Grant are back again at
their cottage by the sea-" and Long Branch
again rejolces in the smiles Of the government

man who rules the destinics Of this great nati0n'

last9 Perhaps for two or three days. and perad-
venture only till Monday. Cabinet matters, in
GLIDING the Russian mission, call the President to
Washington, and he may, therefore, take new
departure from US In the morning. AS the season,
however, is on when the malaria from the neigh
boring fats OF the Potomac carries the seeds OF

General Grant, on returning to Long Branch says
that he iees like boy out OF school, 1t Is not sup

His cottage here is lonely compared with its
cheerfulness OF last summer for the young girl
over the sea, and the bellies Of ocean avenue may
see her no more-never more.

Grants complexion much better than light
colored hat. And IL is a duty which we in Offlcial

can, though we are apt to neglect 1t.
The large, three-masted schooner Allie Beck
more, which, since sunday morning last, has been
lying hard and fast ''On the beach at Long
Branch" " opposite IauCh's Hotel, was hauled Off
this morning, and the schooner and the faithful
tug which has been holding fast TO her for a week
nave both disappeared. 1t Is lucky for the Cap
tain that for o week the winds and the waves
were In his favor.
The Delaware Yacht Club from Philadelphia
arrived here this morning and the boys lost no
time in trial OF the surf, which Is very poor and
muddy to-day, under strong sOuIherly wind.
The great sensation at 'the Branch" this week
will be the Fifth Maryland regiment, "bOys In
gray" attended by the splendid Marine Band OF
Washington, forty-five pieces. 1t comes by order
Of the the Navy. The Ges regiment T here ee'''H viii

HOTEL and, during Its stay. the Marine Band will
give q grand promenade concert aG the Ocean
HOTEL which viii be attended by the President,
the Secretary OF the Navy, and, 1t Is expected, by
Secretary Fish, GevornOr Dix and other disttn-
guished officials. The Marine Band, under its ac-
compiished leader Schneider, has become, by
universal consent, the crack brass band or the
United States. 1t was 30 admitted by all who at
tended the Presidents receptions last winter. Its
uniform is a scarlet coat and blue pantalOOns.
The hotels are all filing, the Saratoga regatta
being over. The West End was running over last
night the great ocean Hotel is nearly full and all
the landlords say 1.-THE season" is late; but 1t is
going to be much better than IL was last year, for
the rush has set in.
