THE PRESIDENTS DAILY MAIL
The President has spoken little in the past that now
that he consented to hold converse with the people
they surely cannot hear OF him too Often When
paid my respects to the President yesterday morning
it not for tho purpose OF formal interview, and
that the visit is partially used for that purpose is
owing to tho simple circumstance that tho facts and
opinions elected of too much general interest TO
sir. into oblivion. Mr.. Jesse Grant, the Presidents
and efficient private secretary, was opening an
heap of letters and documents when called
"0ut Of all these letters and papers," said he-and
there must havo been $50 at icast-''only ten will
probably go tho Presidents hands be read by
him. Fully onc-half will be torn up and thrown into
tho paper basket and the rest will be referred
to the proper departments"

fail TO please The conversation turning to the Prcs
dents prospective tour through Europe after next
March, Mrs. Grant facc.iously remarked

dent uses the term 'the General" she limited that
whe sthe General's desire to sec also ASIA Africa
and Australia in addition to Europe might lead him to
make tour the world she would probably be con-
tented with seeing Europe.
