WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4,-Presi
dent Cleveland will not have to pu
in any time in familiarizing him
self with current public business
because during his absence from
Washington reports Of all import
ant matters in each of the execu
tive departments have been regu-
larl y made to him, just as they are
VIXEN he is at the White House,
and whenever necessary he has d.
rected what action should be taken.
No Official programme Of tic trip
to the Atlanta Exposition has vet
been announced, but il is uuder-
stood that the President will be ac-
c0mpanied by all the members OF
his cabinet, and that neither Mrs.
Cleveland nor any Of the cabinet
ladies will go. The party will be
due at the exposition on the 22d
inst, which is to be celebrated as
Presid ent's day.
The I. S. Supreme Court reas-
sembled today. for the fall session,
Chief Justice Fuller presiding.
There are nc cases on tie docket,
against 8l8 at tie opening of last
years fall session. If any Of the
learned Justices know anything Of
the Presidents intentions as to the
existing vacancy in their ranks |
they are not talking about it where
any newspaper men can hear them.
Much interest was expressed in |
Washington over the rumor that
the managers Of the proposed Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons fight were figur-
ing on the use Of a government
reservation in Arkansas for that
exhibition. The government has
spoken in no uncertain tone, thro
Secretaries Lamont and Smith and
Attorney-General Harmon, and if
he sluggers do not heed they will J,
egret their bard-headedness. No
'rize-fght will he allowed upon /
ny government reservation in Ar I
ansas, Or upon any other spot Of .
round over which the I. S. Gov i
rnment has direct control; and, if )
ecessary to prevent it or arrest the
articipators, the government
lands ready to call out the army.
'ut nobody in Washington thinks Il
1gthing of that sort will be nee D
;sary. Neither the fighters nor +
ler managers wiA be foolish c,
Rough to defy Uncle Sam. c.
That money talk" has just been it
oven by Washington man who !: :,
piled to the boastful claims con- N
rning Kentucky and Maryland o,
hich republicans have been MAX m
g with a public offer to wager q

at the democrats elect their tick f.
in both States; also, that ma in
rity of the Kentucky legislature tn
Il be democratic. This mans DC
oney actually talks so loud that I %n
has frightened the republican so
'wheada into silence. 1t is un on
cesessary to say that betting is lol
nething which nobody ought to Plt
but at the same time it must be t ~
'nowledged that there are times El
EN- an offer to bet, backed with fe,
h, serves a good purpose. cit

After 80 Years.

O. c. Henderson, of Ellwood, Ga.
lost by a bullet shot in the second
battle Of Manassas, in 1862, a fin
ger on which he wore a ring. Both
finger and ring were given up, of
course, as forever lost. TIE ring
contained the motto, engraved in
its inner side, Sic itar ad astra,"
the motto in 1859 of the Virginia
Military Institute, of which school,
Mr.. Henderson had been a student.
one Of a class of 20 Of the wear
mentioned, which fact is also en-
graved on the ring. About two
weeks ago Rev. Mr. Nurse, of Man
assas, while on the battlefield
found the ring and upon examin-
ing it discovered that in addition to
the inscriptions mentioned it also
bore the name of Mr.. Henderson.
and stranger still, it turned olt that
he had also known Mr.. Hender-
son before the war. Mr.. Nurse at
once took measures to discover bis
long forgotten friend, and had the
pleasure a few days ago Of return
ing the now much priced treasure
to his Old friend who still resides at
Georgia. Mr.. NJ. L. VEL
ley, now a resident Of Washington
;ity. saw statement of these facts
published IN the Star of that city.
md during a recent visit to Manas-
'as, sought out Mr.. Nurse and
earned from him the truth Of the
statement as we have here recorded

English capitalists were always on
