The government is being run just
now almost entirely by minor officials
although the usual vacation season is
about over One reason for this is that
the President and members Of the Cab
met spent more time than usual, owing
to the Chinese troubles, in Washington
during the past summer, and they are
now getting some rest and recreation
preparatory to the winters work before
them. Another reason is that the po-
litical campaign is now fully under
way and several members of the Cabi-
net sfe in demand as stump speakers.
The President is at Canton, presumably
for rest, but the telegraph reports him
as constantly holding important confer
ences with his political friends, so be
evidently isn't there entirely for rest.

Hitchcock, both Of whom haye had long

We spent four days of last week in the
Washington County peach belt, with our

amount of waste in the best regulated orchard

saye goodly percentage OF that waste ana
we did, but when it comes to eating all the

the pickcrs in an orchard of nine thousand
trees, even our appetite, digestion and ca

though they be, gave it up, not IN safety
but in despair, at the end Of the second day
We thought, however, that there was some
difference apparent in the orchard, but It
NAV have been that there had come a charge
IN the relative size of our eyes and our stom-
aCh in the mean time.
MIR. Biggs has shipped about five thousand
packages; there have as many as two nr
three thousand bushels gone to waste, due to
the low price of fruit that did not attain its
size, tins due to the overloaded trees and
the drought. Probably as much more Will
