ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
CAPE MAY POINT, N. j., July 5.-The
second day of President Harrison's stay at
the Point was almost as quiet as the first.
There was somewhat less sitting on the
piazza, but scarcely more of active dissipa-
tion. The hammock and the chairs were
tenanted at intervals, but other matters also
occupied the attention of the family. The
day was warm, but during the afternoon the
heat was considerably moderated by a strong
sea breeze
The greater part of the morning was oc-
cupied by the Presidential party in visiting
the seaside home which opened about a
week ago, and among the managers of
which are some old aequaintances of the
Harrison family, notably DIR. Steele, of
Philadelphia, warm friend of Dr. Scott's.
Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Mckee and the two
children formed the party, calling at the
home this morning. Baby Mckee gets all
the public attention, but comparatively few
people are aware of the attractions of that
youths little sister, the real baby of the
family.
BABY M'KEE's SISTER.
Miss Mary Mckee is little dame Of
less than two years experience in this weary
world. Part of this experience has not been
such as to prepossess her in favor of things
in general as they are doled out to mortals
of such tender cares, for the young lady has
been suffering all the agonies and worri-
ments attendant upon the acquisition of
the complement of teeth vouehsafed to the
genus homo. 1t was her ill-health and need
OF change which hurried up operations on
the cottage to permit of its occupancy sooner
fhan ofh
The sea air has already greatly benefited
her, even after two days of it the change
was very apparent.
Sitting in her little willow chair rocking
away as intently as though the safety of the
nation depended on the regular swing of her
small sell, the little maiden is picture of
blissful content. Miss Mckee is a blonde
at this stage OF her existence, and she is
somewhat inclined to bashfulness. During
this mornings visit at the home she exhib-
tied all the Establishments of the lady man
ayers, and resolutely declined to trust her.
self in their eager hands. But when DIR.
Steele volunteered to carry her to the car
riage she manifested her confidence in the
cloth by immediately holding out her little
hands to him and permitting him to perform
the Office.
IMPROVING IN HEALTH.
1ne Whole hdTIlsOu idullI Is IlSlDly ltn-
proving in health under the influence of the
change. Mrs. Harrison herself begins to
look refreshed after her social Iabors of the
past winter, and Mrs. Mckee already looks
stronger. While the ladies and the infants
of the family were calling at the house the
President sat on the verandah occupied in
conversation with William V. Mexican, OF
Philadelphia, who was down for the day.
Judging from the present aspect he is as
contented as the rest of the family, and the
prospects or his reeuperation while here are
certainly promising.
The afternoon has been spent in almost
absolute quietude. The Mckee children
exhibited their appreciation OF their faculties
for enjoyment as far as the verandas of the
house are concerned. Both Of the little
people are naturally fond of running, and
the entire circuit Of the house on the upper
porch gives them ample opportunities to in
dulge to their utmost. 1t is expected that
the President and Mrs. Harrison will attend
services at the Beadle Memorial chapel to-
