RURAL VISITORS AT DEER PARK.
they went into breakfast. Soon after
Mr.. Cleveland once more came out
and his eye fell on four of the detcc-
tives little way down the lawn. He
bowed and walked towards them.
The men were seated on a little rustic
bridge which spans one of the thousand
mountain brooks which trickle down
the hillside. On the approach of the
President they got up and took off their
uniformed caps. "Sit down, gentle
mel, please. That is what am going
to do" said Mr.. Cleveland as he took
seat on one side of the little brid ge,
while the officers occupied the other
side.
This air makes me feel like taking
constant exercise. Being out of doors
continually, I presume you don't
notice it's invigorating effort" Then
followed q general conversation, in
which the President alluded to his
surroundings as exceedingly pleasant
and spoke of the country with great
enthusiasm. He referred to his walks
and drives with great satisfaction and
declared that everything had been
done to make his stay agreeable.
Speaking of the representatives of
the press MIR. Cleveland laughed and
said: Oh, no; they do not disturb me
at all. They seem to have discovered
some means of getting all the news
without bothering me-
The President asked a few questions
OF tho men about the neighboring
! towns and roads, and then after sitting
near twenty minutes with them, arose
and strolled up the lawn. He looked
in excellent health, and his light Step
showed that he was in the best o:
spirits. He was slightly tanne:. ans.

The first caller of the day was Super
| intendent Charles Selden. who brought
up half Il dozen dispatches to the Pre-
sl!eut. Mr. Selden sat for awhile on
the porch until little past IL clock,
when ex-senator Davis came up and
presented the compliments of the
morning. He also said that Mr. Ham
mill, the Postmaster at Oakland and
Rev. DR.. Foulkc, of the PRESBYTERIAN
church at the same place, were waiting
outside the picket line to see the Prcsi-
dent. Mr.. Cleveland as once consented
to see the gentlemen and Mr.. Davis
withdrew to pilot them past the guards
TO the cottage. This was the first for
NAL reception of the bridal couple
since the wedding.
They were cordially received. The
clergyman lost no time in inviting the
Presidential couple to attend service at
his church tomorrow, and placing the
parsonage at their disposal. Mrs.
Cleveland designated tho morning SER
vice as the time when they would at
tend. and the reverend gentleman was
satisfied. Mr.. Hanwell made several
efforts to commit the President on pol
itics. but his thrusts were parted by
Mr.. Davis, and the two callers soon
withdrew:
RECEIVING THE REPORTERS,
AS socn as they had gone the Presi-
dent observed a half-dozen of the re-
porters pass the house on horseback
aad gallop along the road which the
postmaster and the minister had taken.
In a moment MIR. Cleveland OWNED
their errand. ''That puts them to a
good deal of trouble, and don't see
any reason why we shouldn't let them
know who our callers are. BY the
way, there are a great many telegrams
inside, Senator, that l expect they
ought to have. If you will let them
know, we will be pleased to see them.
I will give them the batch to look
over,'
At this moment Supt. Selden came
up the lawn and, repeating his remark,
he suggested that as Mr.. Selden was
handling the press dispatches perhaps
he had better tell the correspondents.
MIR. Selden at once replied that he
would do so, and returning to the tele-
graph Office soon appeared accompani-
ed by most of the reporters.
The President and his wife had re-
tired to the sitting room, where the re-
porters were cordially received by Mrs.
Cleveland first, and then introduced by
her to her husband as their names and
the papers represented were announced
A general welcome was extended to the
press and a laugh INDUCED in at the
| persistency shown in their following
the bridal couple to their quiet retreat.
Mrs. Cleveland sat at little mahogany
| table and was dressed in white MULE
dress, which fitted her perfectly. A
| small lace collar was seweG into the
dress at the neck. She smiled contiu-
| ually. and seemed in the best of SD; rtS
| although she said little, and kept h. r.
eyes constantly upon her husband, " he
