wAsHrsoTos. Sept. Is, 1885.
The President came back In the qui-
s.s, possible manner on Monday. his
,hols trip having been q most sRresable
,na successful one. He enjoyed him
ssMorouehiy while in the woods. Nc
Prssent within my memory has taken
plsasurs trip during his term Of Office
uueh perfectly simple. unpretentioas
snd delightful way as Mr.. Cleveland's
Adirondack visit this year. He came
bsck 10 find the office seekers more
esrce, even, than when he went away.
n this we're an old administration in
asad of a new one, there would hardly
h A smaller personal pressure upon the
President and heads Of departments
tbsn there is at this time.
The President has been out driving
several afternoons during the week, and
be has accomplished a good deal of
vork. Yesterday he remained in his
Office during the afternoon, while the
band played upon the lawn. He saw
several persons during the day. inalad
tnq senator Mcmillan, of Minnesota.
Mr. J. Ambrose Butler, a young jour
nalist Of Buffalo. connected with the
Esps OF that city, was with him for 4
considerable part of the day.
Miss Cleveland has been visiting her
sistey, Mrs. Yeomans, at Waimouth, N.
T., and is expected back at the White
House In October. 10 il reported that
che Ia vritin q novel. The report is
very likely true; for II she can make
t30C0 out OF volume of sketches, she
can certainly make as mach more out of
Q nevel, even though II be not very
great literary achievement. she has
already received nearly $4,000 for her
6rst book, which will furnish her pin
money for good while.
D. W. Powers, of Kalamazoo, Mich,
Who was appointed few months ago 10
judgsship in Utah by President Cleve-
land. has been In the city this week, and
on Wednesday afternoon was oloseted
With Mr.. Cleveland for more than two
hours. The way In which Mr.. Powers
secured his appointment shows how lit
lie attention President Cleveland pays
70 personal matters in politics. Powers
vas delegate to the Chicago Conven-
ton last summer, and at a critical point
In the proceedings secured the fioor
several times and made an energetic
sttempt TO swing the Michigan delega-
don for Mr.. Hendricks. lt was said at
The time that he nearly succeeded. IL
has since been said, of course, that he
cid NOT. At any rate, he was obliged to
sit down. Very soon after Cleveland
waa inaugurated the young and new
Dsmooratic /" boss" In Michigan came
down here, and, after securing the ear
of the President, presented the case of
Mr.. U. W. Powers, who was strongly
endorsed by the best men in his state
for q jndicial position. He Ii good
lawyer, with considerable practice in the
United States Sipreme Court, and IL a
Democrat Of good standing In his State.
when satisfied Of this Mr.. Cleveland
appointed him, notwithstanding the fact,
which was brought 10 his attention, that
Powers was the man Who endeavofed TO
nominate Hendricks.
When Mr.. Brewster left the Depart
msnt Of Justice he asked only one faver
Of his successor, and that was 10 retain
. certain lady clerk. He gave bis rca-
sons Why. and they contained material
for romance. When he vas q ysune
man. hc said, he was very much In love
With q girl who refused to marry him,
presumably because OF the dishs surement
Of bis face. She gave no reason. bat he
always supposed that was the ground Of
her objection 10 him. She married
some one else, and he lost sight of her
until soon after he became Attorney
General. when he received letter from
bis old love congratulating him upon his
appointment. He answered the letter
vish an inQairy a. to her circumstances
and condition Ia life. She replied that
she vas q widow with q small income,
bat many and pleasant friends. The
nsxt letter be wrote rendered her q posi-
ton in the Department of Justice, which
she accepted, and which Attorney Gen
sfal Garland has assured her that she
shall retain as long as he Ia in au'
thofity.

Secretary Whitney has not yet taheR
Z city house. He Is spending ssverai
thousand dollars in fitting up the Means
place. on the rensllytown road, recently
bought by him, and will spend the au-
tomn there. Mrs. whitney will probably
b debsfred from going muce isso so
ssety BY the recent death Of her
broshsr.
