LUNY LRTTER.WRITERS.
President HAYES, Correspons.nts

Star, receives more letters day than
any other individual in the United States.
1t would hardly be stretching the point
to say that he receives more than anyone
else on the globe. Every mail brings
him large batch coming from almost
every State in the Union, while commu-
nications from foreign lands are the rule
rather than the exception. These let
tiers are upon every conceivable subject.
Invitations, criticisms of the Presi-
dents course, expanded theories, re-
quests for pecuniary aid, letters of coun-
sci and advice, petitions to be retained
in Office, and hundreds of other topics
furnish subiect-matter for those who
wish to gain the Executive ear. Letters
of Importance are, of course, answered,
but thousands of epistles go to the files
or garnet unseen by him. Among the
Presidents correspondents is london
er, who seriously requests him, as "the
head of free and humane Government,
to issue proclamation prohibiting, I'M
der penalty of death, the killing of any
of the feathered tribe, any dog, or even
a rat or mouse.
Another letter is dated in Virginia,
not very far from Washington, and is
headed "On Finance" The writer as
serts that he has discovered a gold, sill
yer, and copper belt running through
that State and northwesterly as far as
Michigan. He promises to give to the
President portion Of his good fortune
for pecuniary assistance.
One man from Kentucky sent the Pres
ident photograph. Shortly after, an
other letter from the same Individual
made it's appearance, containing another
photograph, which the sender thinks is
much better than the first one, and, hay
ing been improved on in regard to looks,
he wishes it, in place of the former one,
to be placed in the Presidents album,
with "my best regards"
The following Is an inquiry from a
school-boy in Horton, Mich.

, learn to-day OF the James Gordon Bennett
undertaking to open the long-closed doors of
the Arctic regions / am strongly of the opin-

is not yet made, and will not be ready before or
between 1890 and 1900. am not speaking
with view that my words will have any effect
on Mr.. Benefits plans, for no person IN the
land would feel more proud or joyful to learn
that the Stars and Stripes were floating ON that
pole. For my part do not like these plans

err" would rather take Gen. Grants plan
and undermine for the pole.
