fore they blossom into full blown mala-

many heavy billfor medical attendance

The PRESIDENTIAL HOUSEHOLD
The New York Tribune's Washington
dispatch says The President will leave
the executive mansion on March 3, and,
with Mrs. Grant, will be the guest OF
Secretary Fish until their departure
from the capital, which will be early in
April, MIR and Mrs Sartoris will take
up their residence this week with Mrs.
Louis Dent, in This city, and will remain

Europe Ulysses 5. Grant, Jr., the
Presidents secretary, will leave for New
York en- March 5, to begin the prac-
tice of law with tue firm of which ne
now is a unember. Col Fred. Grant,
who has been in Washington for two
winters, engaged in making copies Of
the records of Gen. Shclidans head
quarters which were destroyed in the
Chicago fire, will return TO the head
quarters of the lieutenant general at
Chicago at once.
The President will give no more
lcvceS nor dinners. The report that he
will give q farewell dinner to his cabi
net WAS entirely unauthorized. The
omission OF the usual presidential leyees
this wintcr has been the subject OF com
meut. 1t may be said that they were
abandoned on account OF the excited
state OF feeling incident to the political
contest, and that under the clrcumStan-
