: To the Editor Of the .Arant Courier:
People are getting worn out with fl

eldest son is very i'll there. Secretarie
Thompson and Schurz have also gon

son now lives. His youngest daughter ac
companied him. One of his sons is here
another on the ''Wyoming" en- route to
France, and another in Texas. The Presi-
dent is TIE only important public man who
seems rs good as new. He pursues the
even tenor Of his ways so regularly and
so easily that nothing wears upon him.
Here is the best pcn-pictUrc of his per-
sonal appearance have ever seen. 1t is

good view of his back hair, cerebellum and
animal nature. of which there is plenty.

upon reddish neck Of the kind called
bulls. This neck expresses weather, food.
appetite and qualification. The physique
underlying it is heavy, but on Il medium
frame. The expression of the face is at
variance with this physique, as if gentle
manners. persisted in, had modified the
bull. No politician can look into that face
and live; it seems to say I'm not of your

1TFhei TFIhee MOST AAefihh fihhpS5qtn. p.epuu,.cun move
ment OF the present Congress occurred the
other evening in the form of a caucus; and
its most notable feature was Il resolution
to asl, the President to rcscind his order
forbitiding participation of officers in the
executive branch of the civil service in cau-
cuses, conventions and meetings Of po-
litical character. The meeting did not ex-
hibit much fl.iendliness towards Mr.. Hayes |
and in its course it was declared that he
had thus far benefited his party not,a whit.
Conkling. Blaine, Cliristiancy, Hamlin, and |
Butler were unaccOuntably and conspicu-
ously absent from the caucus. But the
President appears in no way distubed by
these proceedings, and his friends assert
that they will not influence him or his ac-
lions at all.
Mrs. Hayes returned from Ohio last Sat
lrday week and received company on the
Monday evening following.
The Presidential family intend spending
the summer at Soldiers Home, in the same
they occupied last sum-
mef, to which additions are now being
made in the way of 4 piazza, billiard room
and library. -Four Of her cousins and an
uncle accompanied Mrs. Hayes from Ohio
and are now her guests, as are also the
young bride and groom whose wedding
Mrs. Hayes attended two weeks ago in
Cleveland.
General Sherman is going West, but his
young daughter, Ellie, will remain here
I'LL next month. She is to be one Of her
cousin LiZZie's bridesmaids when she is
married to Don Cameron on the 10th of
May. Miss Ellie is only year out of
school and is yet fresh and unspoiled. She
rides horseback-20 miles Gay sometimes
.entertains company and performs lental
leyotions with equal zest and enjoyment.
Like her mother, she is faithful Catholic.
