The FresISlent's sumner Va
cation.

The Star says the President is pre-
pairing todepart from Washignton for
a summer vacation. His plans have
been arranged, and it is expected that
he will be able to get away in day
or two. He will go to New York State
and betake himself to the woods for
a few weeks to get away from the
worry and bother of office seekers and
politicians. His plans have been made
very quietly, and he will probablyleave
as soon as the appointed time arrives,
without making any previous an
nouncement. The President wants
period Of perfect rest, and does not
propose to be followed into his retreat.
The office seekers will wake up some
morning very soon and find the White
House deserted.

A Gen. of OratOry.

Alta social party given to the mem

during session OF the Supreme Court,
Col. Landon c. HAYNES uttered the
following gem OF oratory, During the
evening Gen. n, B. Forest arose and

| was born in East Tinnessee, ON the
banks of the Watauga, which, in the
Indian vernacular, means beautiful
river and beautiful river it is. have
stood upon its banks in my childhood
and looked down through its CLASSY
waters and have seen Il heaven below,
and then looked up and beheld a heav-
ell above rejecting, like two mirrors,
each in the other, its moon and plan
cts and trembling stars. Away from
its banks OF rocks and cliff, hemlock
and laurel, pine and cedar, stretches
vale back to the distant mountains as
beautiful and exquisite as any in Italy
or Switzerland. There stand the great
Unaka, the great Smoky Mountains,
among the loftiest in America, on
whose SUBMITS the clouds gather of
their own accord even on the bright
est day.
There have l seen the great Storm
king after noontide, go and take his
evening nap in his pavilion Of dark
ness and of clouds. l have then seen
him aroused at midnight as giant re-
freshed by slumber, and csver the
heavens with gloom and darkness /;
have seen him awake the tempest, let
loose the red lightnings that ran along
the mountain tops for thousand miles
swifter than an eagles flight in heav-
en-. Then | have seen them stand up
and dance like angels OF light in the
clouds, to the music OF the grand or
gan of nature, whose keys seemed to
have been touched by the fingers of
Divinity in the hall of eternity, that
responded in tones of thunder through
the universe. Then ] have seen the
darkness drift away beyond the hori-
zon, and the morn get'up from thr saf-
iron bed like a queen, put on her robes
OF light, come forth from her palace in
the sun, and stand tiptoe on tho mis-
ty mountain top, and while night fed
from her glorious face to his bed-cham-
Der at the pole, she lighted with smile
OF sunshine the green vale and beauti-
ful river where was born.
30! beautiful land OF mountains,
with thy sun-painted cliffs, how can
/ ever forget thee"
Gen. Forest stood stupefied while
Col, Haynes pronounced these mar.
velous sentences, and said afterward
he would not have been more amazed
if he had been struck by a flash Of
lightning from the summit Of Smoky
Mountain.

JUDGE FORAKER, Republican can
didate for Governor in Ohio. is now
threatened with party by the name
of St. John, on the Ohio stump. the
defamation of St. John otter the defeat
of Blaine was doubtless gratifying to its
authors, but they didn't consider that
st. John might outlive the eruption of
spleen that followed a defeat, and turn
himself up to square the account with
the republican party. He proposes to
begin in Ohio and Judge Foraker is
likely to be the victim.
