Patti as II Kicker.

"Patti and the American mule" IIenry
Irving is reported to have said yesterday,
"are recognized us great kickers by
American managers, but their talents in
this line are Insignificant when compared to
those OF Miss Fortesque," In discussing
the famous beauty's forthcoming appear
ance in this country, Mr. Irving said that
the question was not will she succeed, but
will the managers be able to control her
Everybody comedies that she has great
beauty and some talent, but the actress has
phcnomenally large estimate OF her pos
sessions In both particulars, which raises
her just little bit above the reach of the
average theatre man. She fights with
every body, male or female, who seems to
lie ever so humble rival, and it is almost
impossible to keep competent company
around her, When she tackles Dan Fruh-

papers might as well look at the matter
as sensibly as The star does and save
trouble. The time will come when
the remains Of Grant will be brought
to this city and deposited whore they
should be and where the people want
them to ropose. But we have no hope
of New York coming to such q conclu.

in a commercial way beneficial to the
Metropolis.
The star, however, fully realizes
what is the proper thing in regard to
General Grants tomb aud monument,
aud has several times spoken IN the
manner to which we have referred.
Yesterday It said "That there should
be monument-thC noble tribute of n
great nation's gratitude and reverence
is beyond doubt; that 1t should be
erected at Washington Is equally so.

The President has departed for the
Adirondacks, to spend six weeks or
more in as complete seclusion as n
President may hope TO secure. He has

industrious and untiring men who have
held his great Office, and has earned
his holiday Although strenuous of-
forts have apparently been made to in
volve this country I'm troubles with her
neighbors on the North us well as
South; although the financial policy for
the next few months has been treated
as a matter of doubt and 3ilituIty, and
although We have at last entered upon
the great task OF building navy, 1t Is
probable that the President can spend
a month with little Official care
It'll only the otlice-seekers to- whom

epiy "a Change OF Mind,

Says the Washington correspondent Of
the Courier JOunli: "The Post man should
not be go severe on our President. These
big people do not think they are telling iibs
when they misstate facts to newspaper men,
for they doubtless think that the latter are
q set Of utterly characterless and reckless
citizens, having no decency, much less in
tegI1ty.' The President would not tell a
story. That is to say that when the Presi-
dent says one thing and does another he
does not consider II as telling story. Now,
for instance, he told gentleman emphati-
cally that he intended to appoint u good
business man postmaster of Louisville.
Instead Of this heappointed an incompetent
woman. Now, this was no story. Again,
he told two well-known and prominent
gentlemen positively and firmly on August
3, 10 q. M, that he would veto the River
and Harbor bill. The next day, however,
at 10 a. IN, he signed the River and Harbor
bill. But this is merely mind changing
