ton after tho 4th of March for some
time as il 10th to leave the snobocracy,
native and foreign in whose smiles
he has 80 delighted to bask. Some
of his toadies among the Washington
letter writers recorded the fact that
besides the seven Office horses attach
ed to the White House the great dude
''kept ten horses ut his own expense
among them four big bays, which
were often driven four in hand
these he generously left for the use of
President Cleveland till he couh suit
himself otherwise. This is but a
sample of the style of this man Ar,
thur, who made dining and wining
tho principal business of his official
life. The country had quite enough
of one who in the high office to which
accident called him. sunk the states
man in the pleasure-seeker and mani
tested no more elevated ambition than
to have a "good time" Let the dude
now go home, and along with his
dear friend Hayes, resign himself to
the oblivion which at no distant day
so surely awaits him.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 9th, 1885.
The last week has been about the
first smile of spring that Washington
has enjoyed since the peculiar vernal
weather that favored President Cleve-
lands Inauguration. The parks, laws
and shade trees have resumed their
garb of green and the capital city
never looked brighter and fresher
than it does now Since many thou
sands of shade tree have grown to an
outrageous height, Washington has
much improved as a summer resi-
dence, and it is well it has, for the in
dications are that it will be, for the
next four years at least, the enforced
summer home of many who have been
in the habit of spending the hot sea-
son in the mountains or by the sea.
Heretofore government clerks have
been given an absence of thirty days
with pay with the privilege, FIRE.
quently, of thirty days more without
pay. 1t has been their custom to leave
their desks for this long period nc
matter how much their work was be
hind. In this way the public bust
ness has been neglected. A long
summer vacation, and perennial sys
tematic laziness has had the effect tC
place the public service in such a lag
gard condition that it is now neces
sary to work of nights in order tC
catch up.
1t is said that the new administra
ton will curtail the customary sum
mer vacation, or deny it altogether t.
those in offices aud bureaus that ar,
behind with their work. The presi
dent proposes TO spent the summerir
the city. He will live in the presidential
cottage at Soldiers Home, which !,
about three miles from the White
House, and he will drive in ever,
morning. His new horses have Jus
been received from New York: the,
are an excellent pair, and it is said
can trot a mile in three minutes.

Miss Ana G, SwEET apension agent
at Chicago, las fairly beaten the pres
ent administration by holding II Ia
liz ayowed principles Of civil service
reform. Gen, Black, Commissioner
Of Pensions, requested her 10 for
ward her resignation, ut the same
time assuring her that there were no
charges against her official admins
tration, Instead Of complying, she
dispatched, not Gen, Black, but
President Cleveland, fatty refusing

Gen. Black was certainly very silly
