Life, after all, is only enjoyable when you
have variety, SO your correspondent has come
over to this lovely spot, determined il possible
to prefer it to Oakland, but after the most ex-
haustive and determined effort, found that
piece OF legerdemain beyond reach.
True, Deer Park has its charms, 1t is select,
but has too cloisterer an appearance; 1t borders
too much on sanctuary" Only five miles apart
yet the society Is as far apart as the poles. The
dollar here must be gold to be par. Our Oak
son is that few attaches" of legations house
here and 1t is not diStingue to be American or
sensible. For the life Of me cannot see why
bankrupt barons: There are some OF the Jap
anese here. and it is really amusing to see the
1bon TOM court them. Why does woman love

Senator Thurman Is here, the guest of Senator
Davis, Of w. Va. / watched the rise and fall OF
his baDdana, saw the gractousneSs OF his bow to
looked deep into his heart OF hearts, and could
not help feeling sorry, for here Is another great
man who has the American fever, for which
Thurman will never be President. "samivel''
will not permit, and, unlike Banquo's Ghost, he
must 60 down.
Senator Davis has 400 persons employed here,
ury department stealings, "a JOB. by the way.
which he regrets, for none exists,) but In
making the country prosper and grow. He is

do speak highly OF him. Said to astaiwart Ger
man, "Do you like Senator Davis?" "Oh, I
don't like his politics, but like the man."
secretary SchurZ Is, as he Is everywhere, a
favor1te. There Is a charm about the man that
tells OF the thinker. No one doubts his ability.
All admire the man. His daughters give char.
and While they are reserved, yet they attract
by that which is superior to diamonds and
rubes, high toned home feeling.

view from the top Of the mountain and from
the fort are simply perfect. have Travelled

thele, and for any one who loves quiet re-
treat, and the acme OF natures charms, this
would be the place: Mrs. Deakins, who keeps
boarders there, Georgetown lady, is a splen-
did woman, intelligent and ref1ned-in five
minutes you feel at home with her. The Ma.
r1ne Band, so advertised, came here yesterday;
them is good, and their sacred concert was en-.
!oyable, consisting as it did Of "Lucia," "Pina-
fore, ''Traviata, !" ''Trovatore."
That was good joke OF Mrs. Gen. Crook, who
said to her husband: George, walk behind me-
Senators are dangerous now"
Tonight is a grand ball here; all are in a
futter. Young, and even old America, are In a
what, no doubt they Will have, a jolly good
time.
Yesterday the B. & Q: R. R. gave excursions
from Cumberland here and to Oakland, the
result was that at Oakland some of the Cum.
berland bloods, full OF whisky, got into a row
much to the disgust OF the guests. Our genial
friend, the Mayor, DeLander, In having them
arrested gave the lacOnfc Instructions 'sbrine
them before me, dead or alive; but. prefer
them dead"
Yesterday was London and Paris day, foggy
and fun OF suicide, but to-day the sun has come
out and all Is brightness and Joy.
Our theatrical friend Walter Dennis, the
handsome Romeo, is here the clerk Of the MOTEL
He is, as at home, the darling OF the fair eek
The same management here as at Oakland
Lambert, the beau ideal OF hosts, is here and
there, and no one can surpass him In suavlty
while Major Hill, an old Washlngtonian, has q
general supervision Of all the B. & o. r.
hotels, and by his gentlemanly bearing give
entire satisfaction. Many OF our Washington
people, invalids, have found health and strength
here, and their ruddy cheeks and elastic steps
give promise Of new lease on life. Among
them Messrs. Glover, McKelder, Moser, Mrs.
Beveridge, etc. All things must come to an
