Breakfast Table Letter to the President

Mr.. PRESIDENT. The wires tell US that You
have gone to Western Virginia t. h'h with
Senator Kenna, OF thu Democratic congress
sional committee, assisted by Col Lamont,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury FArchlld,
and Commissioner Miller o. internal revenue
The fish are to be caught in the waters of
Blackwater river. 1t is understood that Chair.
man Kenna can furnish the poles, the lines,
and the hooks but is out of bait to catch politi.
cal fish; hence this sudden consultation on the
banks of the Blackwatcr.
1t is thought the suggestive AMI sagacions
mind of Lamont, with tho powerful ma
chinery represented by Fairchild and Miller,
will be able to provide the ways aud means to
obtain sufficient bait for the campaign.
1t ia not expected that you will be called upon
personally for funds, or that you will volun.
tarily contribute a thousand dollars for the
congressional fund, as you did to aid In the
election of your ambitious friend, Gov. Hill.
| If however, you should receive, oy mail or
| otherwise, a card from the campaign commit
tee Of the Columbia Democratic CLUB, OF which
the above is a fac-simile, you will please con-
slider 1t an invitation to contribute to the Dem.
ocratic campaign fund.
Alter great tribulatIon and anxiety 1t Is said
the congressional committee, bein; out Of
| bait called upon that distinguished and vet
Gran Democrat as well as diplomat, william
Dickson, esq, for relief from the dilemma
created by the civil service law.
True to the Democratic party, n party
which always calls upon William to come
doun, but never to come up he suggested the
idea of sending to the department clerks,
by messenger or by mail, the card OF
the campaign committee, assuming that the
chief officials and their subordinates of tho
various departments of the government would
take hint rather than receive a kick, and
call at the captains Office and settle.
This plan, Mr.. President, comes In strict
compliance with the civil service require.
ments. No law Is violated, no assessme ats ar }
made, simply list OF the names of persons to
whom the campaign committees card is sent.
Those who properly respond will be mark ID
up P."-permanent and promotion.
Thus you will discover, Mr.. President, what
deep and sincere interest, as well as strict
compliance, the leaders Of the Democracy
take In the enforcement Of the civil service
law. If you would only give william the

that would astonish the heather Chinee.

The Secretary of the Treasury.

Secretary Manning's health is so nearly
restored that he has returned to his official
duties. Soon after Mr.. Manning was ap-
pointed Secretary Of the Treasury, the late
Vice President Hendricks observed TO the
writer that Mr.. Manning was most re-
markable man, and appeared TO him to be
as firm and solid as gate post
This tribute to the physical and men
tal strength OF the new Cabinet
officer was but the reflection OF public
opinion. With q constitution, will-power,
and industry seldom united, with a great
organizing mind, Mr.. NJ, not allowing him
self reasonable time for rest or diversion,
attempted to master the details aud ma
Chinery of the great department Of which
he was the head.
No man knew better than he the import
arce to the country and to his party that
The reforms or changes expected must be
made, after an intelligent and careful exam
ination and deliberate consideration of their
practical effect.
In discharging these arduous duties, ex'
posed as he was to the poisonous influences
Of sewer gas, his health became impaired
A few months OF rest have done much to re-
store it, combined with the best medical
treatment.
The public naturally take deep interest
in his full recovery, and feel that the best
service he can render the government would
be to avoid overwork, especially the work
Of detail, reservlng his strength to be used
for the decision of policies.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, has often
criticised his political views, but never
doubted his integrity or capacity to make q
distinguished and leading adviser of the
administration, which he did more than
any other one man to place In power.

The voice OF the liar is abroad in Europe,
and the dispatches flying between different
countries are made to-day, seemingly, with
the sole object Of contradcting them to-
morrow. But beneath all false reports aud
stupid exaggerations there is the one solid
fact that Europe is In a state Of fear and
trembling. The position of the different
nations is somewhat like that OF the
Charleston sufferers for weeks after the
first great shock. People did not want
another shock; at the same time they felt
sure 1t must come, and could devise no
possible means of escape, No country In
Europe at the present time really wants
war, but every country expects war; and,
with an ear close to the ground, can plainly
hear the sound Of preparations, which are
being made on an enormous scale.
On Thursday, NJ. Aube, minister of ma
rine, brought before the French chamber Of
deputies bill to reorganize the navy at the
cost Of 100, 100000 francs. Lord lddesleigh
(Sir Stafford Northcote), the English
foreign secretary, had, on the same day,
long interviewin London with Baron de
Staal, the Russian ambassador, and gave
an emphatic denial to the report that Prince
Alexander, late Of Bulgaria, had written
his intention Of returning TO that country,
II reelected. 1t also had to be denied that
British consul In Bulgaria had advised
great political meeting to resist the de-
mands Of Russia. Gen. Kaulbars, the Rus.
sian military agent, has been compelled to
abandon his missionary enterprise on behalf
OF the car, and the poor car himself, hay
ing taken his foreign Office completely un.
der his own control, Is said to be afflicted
with paralysis of the brain. Between
the German party In his empire,
which contains nearly all the high
civil officials and which does not want
war, and the national or Muscovlte party +,
which loudly clamors for war, the car
does not lead happy life. The German
ambassador to Russia has returned to Ber-
lin, and has spent whole days with Her.
bert Bismarck. Yesterday he was sum.
moned to Varzin to consult with old man
Bismarck himself. Socialists aud nihilsts
are known to be engaged in daring enter
prlses, and many members OF secret SO.
cietles are being tried by the courts In varl.
Gus parts OF Germany. 1t is some consola-
tion to American citizens to feel that not
withstanding such fearful outbreaks AS
anarchy at Chicago and earthquake at
Charleston the United States are, a. the
present time, the most peaceful, soil |, aud
contented portion OF the earth's upper
crust.

Mn. FAME, of the British legation at Con-
stantinople, who is at present helping the
sultan to keep Turkey from the paws of
Russia, is emerging from a protracted OBJ
security Some years ago every schoolboy
in England was accustomed to have the
name of Fame held up as q model OF every
thing an English gentleman ought to be.
He was the admirable Crlchton OF the
nineteenth century, with the additional
mixture Of all that is valuable in modern
life. "Young Fame and young Lytton"
(Owen incredibly, as they were then known,
were attached to the embassy at Florence,
and were credited with all the virtues and
all the graces. Lytton became lord, aud
went out as governor general of India,
where he succeeded In losing his reputation
for virtue and increasing his fame as poet.
He had medal "struckn to immortalize
the lower limbs of young woman who
danced on the tlghtrope of circus, aud
Disguised the whole colony of Britishers In
India. We have often wondered what had
become OF tho beautiful perfectionst Fame,
and congratulate him now that he has
found more useful outlet for the splendid
promise of his youth than dancing, hddling,
love doggerel, or circus tricks.

The New York STIR states, on good au-
thority, that Miss Cleveland has severed
her relations with the Literary World, and
another paper says that she is to be guest
of the white house during the winter.
Mics Cleveland made far better impress

cago literature, and her broad culture and
strong character could have no finer field
for the educational and benevolent work
which she is SO anxious to carry on than
right here at the national capital.

THE story that Rev. stopford Brooke,
the well.krown Unitarian preacher of Lon
don, had gone mad only shows what bal
judge OF character the reporter must have
been who inaugurated the yarn. Why Mr..
Brooke is the last man In the world to do
such foolish thing as get off his base.
He is about as easy-going aud self-satlsfed
a gentleman as ever enjoyed good dinner,
wrote primers OF English literature for
children, or delivered sermons upon the
theology Of Shelley and Lord Byron. In
appearance Mr. Brooke reminds one of the
pictures OF Jupiter presiding over banquet
Of the gods In any illustrated NEUROLOGICAL
dictionary. His curly auburn locks, di-
vided in the center, flow down about his
shoulders with all the profuslon OF wig
His ford face, broad shoulders, aud ample
waistcoat proportions are sufficient guar
antees Of the physical sanity 30 closely re-
lated to the mems SdHd. In fact, he is about
the last man In the world, Oscar Wilde or
James Whistler excepted, to go to the
trouble Of becoming insane. Life Is
quite an agreeable institution for him.
When, at an early age he experienced
some difficulty in dlgesting the New Tesla
ment Miracles he gave them up and turned
his attention 10 shakespeare ana FREDERICK
Robertson, Of Brighton, as being mlracu-
lous enough for him. His introduction to
| the collection Of Robertson's sermons is an
| excellent specimen Of broad church theol-
ogy and sonorous English. His chapel Is
one of the most fashionable Sunday haunts
Of London society, and he has contrved to
spread over ten or fifteen years a most In.
teresting series Of sermons which might
very appropriately be called "Studles OF
Christianity in English Poetry" All friends
OF true iestheticism will be glad to know
that Mr.. Stopford Brooke is In excellent
health, and will hope that he may long con-
tinue to enjoy the same.
