Handshaking.

It shows a very proper spirit on the part of the
President that he is willing to hold public re-
ception during the jubilee. The chief feature Of
a public reception, as everybody knows, is an
interminable line OF people pushing slowly past
the President, each seizing, wringing and drop
ping the Executive hand. while the vague and
weary Executive smile plays upon the line. 1t is
all very fine and truly democratic, but it involves
an immense deal of labor and weariness not only
as to the President, but to the thousands of
people who make up the line. II is rather pity
in these days of athletics and physical culture
that so much exertion should go without results
in the way OF record. The President who sue
ceeds in shaking the most hands in a day ought
to have recognition for his prowess.

Dreyfus' Abode.

M Louis de Champeaux is the latest traveller
who has had a glimpse of the abode OF the i'll
fated Drefus In the first half OF last month NJ.
de Champeaux and his brother took passage on
board a coasting steamer f.om Surinam TO Cay
enne. With some difficulty they persuaded the
skipper to run fer the narrow channel between
DEVILS Island and the neighboring islet which
the governor OF the settlement resides. Scarcely
had the vessels bows been turned in that direc-
ton before a boom heard from the watch
tower that commands the prisoners place Of ex-
lie, and shots began to splash in the water all
around them The course was speedily changed,
but they passed near enough to see distinctly the
warders. rife in hand, skulking in the bushes
along the shore to prevent landing. The little
white house which serves as q prison was clearly

The War on Miles.
(From the New York Herald.

tfIOin the NeN lO.k ueidiuD
This petty warfare in, an important arm of the
Government service is not merely disgraeeful to
the persons responsible fer it and mortifying to
the American people; il is detriment to the
service, and in emergency might prove
source of grave danger. 1t is vitality necessary
that there should be good feeling and hearty
operation between the department and the COM
manding general. The existing situation is de-
structive Of esprit de corps and demoralizing in
its influence upon the service, and must be ter
minated without delay.
