Mrs. Hoyt, the Presidents sister, left Wash
tngtOn to-day, at IL o'clock, for Buffalo, She
was accompanied to the depot by Mrs. Cleve-
land and st. Clair, the Presidents private SER

the last of the wedding guests and her depart
ure leaves the President and Mrs. Cleveland
the only occupants of the White House. Al
though the mistress of the White House has oc-
cupied her new position but a few days. it has
been long enough to show that no changes of
any consequence will result in the White House
arrangements. The domestic routine is con-
Quoted about the same as formely. Breakfast

same regularity as formerly, and occasionally
goes into his Office and works awhile before
breakfast. Mrs. Cleveland has seldom been
seen outside the private part of the White
House. Since her return from Deer Park her
time has been busily occupied in unpacking
and arranging the numerous handsome we'd
ding presents received well as her personal
wardrobe, and In attending to other matters
connected with the household, demanding her
the return OF the President and his bride
a number of prominent officials would
entertain them at dinner, but as
yet they have not been out to dine, nor
indeed, have they been invited anywhere. The
official announcement that Mrs. Cleveland
would not be at home to callers until after the
receptions next week was regarded as a desire
on her part to remain quietly at home for the
present. The President and Mrs. Cleveland
have no intention of leaving Washington until
the QdiOnrnmpnr of Ions

God knows what keys in hearts to touch,
Therefrom to draw the sweetest strain,
The loftier notes of joys glad song,
Or melodies made soft by pain.
And some with p~laintive air must walk
In lowly wales of weary way,
While others in some happier CLINE,
Upon the mount of joy may stay.
But In the grand ascending song,
In chorus sweet they all unite,
No Jar or discord in the strain
That floats along the hills of light.
Or pain or joy our harpstrings tune,
Before a loving fathers throne,
Our sweet symphonious song shall rise.

Cou1i-Nartiai FinGiogs DlsaDprOved
by General sheridan.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-The proceed
ineS q The cOurt-martill convened IN TINS
city for the trial OF Captain William >.
Johnson, of the United States army, re-
tired. have been made public. Captain
johnson was tiled upon charges OF dupll-
eating his pay accounts, AMI the court
martial returned verdict Of not guilty.
Lieutenant. General sheridan, who re-
viewed The proceedings, set aside this yer.
dict, however. In his endorsement he
saws that the court should have admitted
evidence touching The character OF the ac-
cusrd. The Lieutenant. General further
saws "tbat the accused admitted the exc u
zion of Two set. of vouchers for his pay Tor
tho same month i shown by the record, ana
tLc evidence also shows that he allowed
these vouchers to pass beyond his control,
so fiat beth were presented and paid.
While Il appears that The accused made
certain private arrangements with persons
holding his vouchers, yet the United ota;es
Was no party thereto, and was III no man
ner bound by them; and although there
may have been CXtenuating circumstances,
and the oyerdraWn pay was refunded, y
nevertheless remains TINT the Government
was exposed 10 maud, for which Captain
johnson cannot be held eXcusable. The
Proceedings finding and acquiItal-ln the
case q Captain william :. johnson, United
states army. retired, are disapproyed."
The release Of the accused from arrest
has been ordered aud The c0urt-marial dis
missed. This action OF the lieutenant
gcueral in dl.approying the findings OF
thecourtapd acquitting the accused IS sad to
lealmost without precedent in the admin
l,tration Of military justice, although there
can be no doubt as to its legality. The
accused stands almost in the same position
lie occupied before the trial, although be
cannot he again tried for the same offence.
