As result Of somewhat extended OBJ
servatiun | am inclined to think that
earnest patriotism-or perhaps had
better say intense AInerlcanl.m -does
not flourish 50 vigorously in the "effete
civilization Of the east as in the untram-
nelel freedom Of the vest And you
find it more pronounced among the
mountains than down in the valleys.
Appreciative love for our glorious land
qruws with knowledge Of its grandeur
and beauty. And how can they help
their hearts swelling with affection for

who live close up TO where the heav
ems spread it: But | have never any
where else found patriotism at quite
such a white heat as it was just then in
that little California town.

were perfectly satisfied Nothing was
too good for Fourth of July.

hotel. where | stopped, had told me all
about the arrangements for the celebra-
ton and enlisted my cooperation In
carving them out, as he was rather over
weighted with the burden Of details, Abb

spirit of the affair. having been inoppor-
tunely taken down with fever.
joyce, learned, was an eccentric Yam
kee, who chose TO consider himself the
local schoOlmaster. and was so recognized
by everybody. 1t was quite true that
there were. as vet, no children there for
him TO teach, but he was on the ground
and ready to receive them when they
should come.
He had announced himself as school
master when he came there among the
earliest arrivals to work ''rocker on
Grizzly Run. and it was at his insistance
that the name of Jupiter was given to
the camp that had subsequently devel-
oped into the town. Everybody liked
and respected him, SO that his present
illness was deeply regretted for his own
sake as well as the consequent depriva-
ton of his directing genius suffered by
the enthusiastic celebrants. How sick
he was may be inferred from an incident
that occurred the day before my arrival.
Opinions were divided among the COM
mittee as to the number of stars that

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, June "a, 1889.

The President returned TO-DAY from Cape
May, where he has been staying with Mrs.
Harrison and his grandchildren since Fri
day Before leaving he made number of
appointments, among them the following
John l.. Stevens of Maine to be Minister
to the Hawaiian Islands Geo, Nancy of
Tennessee, to be Minister TO Paraguay and
Uruguay; John NJ Crawford Of Ohio, to
be consul general at ST Petersburg, Rus
sia; Horace Greeley Knowles of d, laware,
Consul at Bordeaux, Frank Mason OF
Ohio, consul General at Frankfort; Charles
b. Trail of Louisiana, consul at Mar>eilles
and ex-Goy. Fairchiid of Wisconsin and
Gen Harntraft of Pennsylvania, to be
members of the Cherokee Indian commits
sion
The President thinks the criticism he is
receiving from many Republicans on ac-
count of his slowness in making appoint
ments is very unjust. In conversation
with an old personal friend he said Il
am being severely, and think unjusty,
criticised for not making appointments
faster. 1t is in no case any fault Of mine.
am and have been since the ith OF March,
ready and willing to appoint Republican
to any position that is or should be va

Endorsement Of the Congressional deltga-
tion Of his State. But what am 70 do
when nearly every state has two or more
candidates for every important Office, each

Senator iuforsis me that unless his friends
are appointed the party in his state vii. %
