on to Sea,

WASHINGTON, August 1O.-Presi-
dent Arthur, accompanied by his son
and daughter, Miss Belts and Private
Secretary Phillips, left bere this even
ing at twenty minutes past seven
O'Clock OH the United States steamer
Dispatch, en.rOute to New York for a
short vacation. There was no display
or reception of any kind, as the Presi.
dent had expressly desired that all
formalities should be dispensed with.
1t was his original intention to have
left the city at half-past FIVE o'clock,
but business engagements prevent ted
his leaving the White House unit
after six o'clock.
When the four-in-haud team of che
Executive whirled around the corner of
the anchor shop in the Navy Yard the
new flag recently designed for the Pres
ident was run UP to the mafnmast and
the ships crew of the Dispatch were
ranged in the gangway. Secretary
Chandler met the President at the gang
plank and after introducing him to the
officers of the Dispatch the two gentle
men proceeded to the quarter. deck and
we're soon engaged in conversation.
This was interrupted by an accident
which occurred 10 the leaders of the
four in hand, by which they became
entaDgltd d in one of the hawsers leading
from the vessel, attached to pile on
the wharf. Albert, the driver, at
tempted to turn too short in his anxiety
to get away from the steamers side,
and the two horses, becoming entan-
gled in the hawser and o pile of loose
chains, reared and plunged violently.
Young Allan Arthur in his haste to
free the animals did not wait for the
coachman to do his duty, but dashed
down the Gang.plank and seized one of
the horses by the reins and succeeded
in quieting him. .g
The President followed his son to the
lower deck, but did not quit the vessel,
as 1t was evident that neither of the
horses was hurt. No further incident
occurred and the party reassembled on
the quarter deck to watch the sailors
hauling up the anchor preparatory to
getting under way. A long and strong
pull brought the huge mass of iron out
of the eastern branch channel and
amid the cheers of a party of ladies and
gentlemen on the wharf the handsome
steamer glided swiftly down the stream.
1t Is the intention of Commander
Greene to proceed along the coast in
sight Of land to the capes and then head
direct for Sandy Hook and he expects
to reach New York by Saturday noon.

A Plea fer sne G. A. IL.

MEssRs. EDIT0Rs.-I see in the
Morning News of Friday, the 11th inst,
a piece entitled "How the Grand Army
cares for a comrade," which l think
does injustice to the Grand Army. The
Grard Army In this city is composed
n. ainly of mechanics and hard w|rkine
men, many of them getting along in
years. Some of them are suffe ring from
disease contracted during the war and
requiring all the attention and financial
assistance that their comrades can
spare. Widows and orphans of the de-
ceased comrades and soldiers apply for
assistance to the G. A. r., whose wants
ought to be supplied by the wealthier
portion of our city, outside of the G. A.
r. In fact the G. A. Il calls for and
l am glad to say obtains assistance
from the outside public, and will dis
pense that assistance III the form Of
charity in proportion as it receives it.
In regard to comrades travelling, who
claim to have lost their transportation,
many of them are dissolute and lose or
spend their means while intoxicated
and deserve little sympathy. Very few
who deserve assistance are seut away
it. G. A. II.

"He's a daisy" remarked Jamel
Dawson, eochoing the sentiment of hil

Wilson's pugilists ability in the Cham
pion's Rest last evening. The report
that Wilson and Elliot were matched
to fight without gloves drew q greal

the proprietor was besieged by ques

of New York, that Elliott wanted tC

quiring Arthur's opinion about the size
OF the stakes.
Chambers at once telegraphed back
that the stakes proposed were too small
but authorized Fox to match Wilson tC

first declined to put UP more than 8 1000

that the fght should be for 81, 600, and
articles of agreement will no doubt be
signed this morning in New York.
Chambers is confident that Tug can
trounce the Athlone man with great

A Few Comets.

Astronomers tell us that comets have
their orbits and reappear at regular
intervals. Halleys comet discovered
in 1922 has reappeared five times, the
last being 1886. l was boy then,
writes Hermit" of the Troy IN. W
Times, but well remember the strange
spectacle, for it was the first comet 1
had ever seen. 1t was, however, a
very inferior thing compared with the
comet which appeared seven years
afterward, and which was grand to
degree that almost seemed fearful. 1t
was forty-five degrees long and the tail
spread like a fan until it was at least
ten degrees in breadth. For six weeks
this strange spectacle was visible in
the northern sky and frequently its
color was so red as to awaken terror.
1t was, indeed, supposed by some Mil
lerites to be a messenger to destroy the
earth. Considering the enormous size
of this comet what must have been its
headp This question deeply interested
astronomers, but it was never solved.
The head was ar beneath the horizo
and hence was never seen by mort
eye, but as matter of proportion it
must have been immense. The comet
of 1858 was very large and attracted
universal attention, and next came the
"war comet" as 1t was called, because
it appeared during the beginning Of
the rebellion. 1t was certainly Q
beautiful spectacle.

During Napoleon's captivity it some
times puzzled his cook to supply his
table satisfactorily. As sheep and cattle
had to endure a long voyage, they ar
rived at st. Helena lean and out of order,
and never fattened after landing, rs the
island furnished no means OF restoring
them to condition. The flesh was in.
variably tasteless, sometimes even quite
unwholesome. st. Helena produced no
game. A few peasants and red par-
tridges arrived twice or thrice year.
Chinese pigs, alone arrived fat and love-
~, and NJ. Chandelier reports favorably
of them. He says their flesh was de
lieious, and that it gave him infinite
pleasure to prepare pork griskins, saul
sages and black buildings, ofall of which
Napoleon was very fond. Fish was
scarce, none of the European kinds visit
ing the island. Oysters, crabs, HOLSTERS,
or any kind of shell.ish, were not to be
had Only two kinds of fish were ct all
tolcrable one is what the French call
the "bonne femme" and the other, which
is long, like an eel, but not thicker than
me LITTLE nnSef, is calieu the Heeele
fish. The only fruit of any value was
the banana this he utilized in fritters,
or iced
Tho climate was so variable that
neither citron nor oranges could ripen
grapes and apricots never came to matur-
ity apples, pears and peaches were as
bad. Napoleon was difficult to please,
particularly when his health failed ; and
tho "chel' was often at his wits end.
The exile's breakfast consisted of sorrel
pottage, or any other refreshing pottage,
breasts of mutton boned and well grilled,
served with clear gravy, roast chicken
or two griskins, and sometimes plate OF
pulse. For dinner he had n pottage,
a remove, two entrees, a roast and two
side dishes of sweetmeats or pastry, OF
which he was very fond. This was
always served on plate. The removes
used to puzzle NJ. Chandelier, for he
often had nothing for the purpose but
large pieces of beef, mutton or fresh
pork, with sometimes (by o happy chance)
a goose, q turkey or sucking pig.
