EX-PRESIDENT HAYES’ HOME. One of the most Interesting pI I have seen this summer 13 Fremont, 11 this state, which I found a far larger and more thrifty looking place thon [had anticipated. Ifancy that few W: ton people, among those who know it only as the home of ex-President Hayes, have any ade- quote fdea of the kind of place it 1s and Its size. 1t now has three rallroads passing through it—the Lake Shore and Michizan Southern, the Wheel- Ing and Lake Erie, and Lake Erle and Western, Ii has over elght thousand Inhabitants, all of whom seem to be tn good circumstances and n average incom many possessed of more th . ‘There are no houses which suggest great poverty, ‘Phe streets tre paved an‘l have good sidewalks of stone or wood; there are a number of brick stores and dwellings of that material as well as very Ones of wood.

They were blooming finely when] saw them. Mrs. Hayes devotes ‘much of her time to her flowers and poultry, while the ex-President gives a part of each day to visiting the rari and giving directions about It and suparintending the work in the gardens. Most of his time is devoted to reading and writing in Lis large Ubrary.

The family have actually more room for themselves and their friends than they had in the private part of the White House, and just as many comforts as there, They seem absolutely happy in their quiet. and deauttiul home, and while speaking with warm affection of all ‘their Washington friends and re- calling many pleasant incidents of thelr Ile there, they evidently have no regrets that the time for retirement has come. IN RETIREMENT. Owing to Mr. Hayes having been in the army during the war, then in Congress, and three times governor of Ohio before the four years he spent in the White House, tt fs the first time in many years that he and his family have had a settled home, where they could reasonably expect to spend many years and have letsare to adorn It according to their taste. ‘Their house, while large and finely finished ana furnished, has none of the modern affectations 1n architebture or furniture, but was built evidently for comfort and convenience, and not for show. It 1s pre-eminently cheerful, and therefore well lighted and ventilated, as the Queen. Anne houses are not, Several famtly portraits in Olis, aS Well gs other paimtings, adorn it, The portraits painted both hy Mr. Brown and Mr. An- drews of President Hayes are there, and also that painted by Mr. Andrews last year of Mrs. Hayes, which ts the most pleasing one I have seen of her. She wears tn it the white and gold satin brocade in which Washington people so well remember her at some of the last entertainments in the White House before she left there, ‘The latest addition to the gallery 1s a portrait ot Mr. Hayes’ motuer, painted by Mr. Andrews from a mininture. It arrived only last week and has been highly approved by the family. At Fre- mont I met Mr. Noah Swayne, jr., who was there on business connected with the newest rail- road, the Wheeling & Lake Erle, in which Com- modére Garrison is largely interested. He told me his father and sister, Mrs. Parsons, would not return to New York from Europe before the mid- die of October. His brother, Mr. Frank Swayne, and his wife, who have also ‘spent the summer in.

Sun, ee THE CITY MARKETS, THE EFFECT OF THE CHANGING SEASONS ON THE MARKET—THE POTATO AND APPLE PROSPECT GLOOMY—SCARCITY OF GAME. The falling off in the deluge of some kinds of market vegetables and fruits and first appearance of others 1s one of the noticeable changes since last week. New sweet potatoes are coming in lively from the eastern shore of Maryland and Vir- ginia, and the crop appears to be good both as to quality and quantity. Peaches are getting scarce and the prices have advanced somewhat. The kinds saltable for preserving are now in great de- mand, and will continue so as long as the season lasts, Citrons have made their appearance, but as yet they are scarce and high. It ts a ilttle too early. for quinces, and the farmers hereabouts say the crop 13 not a wood one, and good ones will be searce and hizh. ‘The meat market remains unchanged, except for veal and latnb,which are getting sea and prices rule high. Ez3 have advanced, with prices firm, and good poultry ts in demand, espe- cially spring chickens. The butter trade isabout the Same as last week, good grades being In de- mand, and plenty of the ordinary qualitics. The four trade is steady and tn fair inquiry. Wheat 1s several cents lower, a8 also is corn, and oats declining. Good timothy hay ts in demand at quotations. Irish potatoes are not so plenti‘ul, and the market ratver more active though not much higher, The decline In corn ts accounted for by the favorable weather In the west and ad- vices of lower prices in all other markets. ‘The decline in Chicago has been 6 cents, which has affected all the markets, POTATOES AND APPr Dealers in potatoes say the crops generally throughout the country, ayhich, in the eurly sea- son, gave such good promise, will not turn out as favorably as expected, and the ‘prospects In some sections look gloomy. The same may be sald of winter apples. The crop will be short, and the quality only fair, ‘This applies espectully to the eastern, midile and western states. Certain Iocal- itles will show ceptions, but not to such an ex- tent as to affect the markets, Which will rule high all the season.

F. Butler for the plalnt ff and Francts Miller for the defendant, occupying the attention of the court five days.’ The court sustained the decision of Judge Wylie, that most of the contracts sued on were invalid and could not be the subject of an action unless they ha: been ratified by the Congress of the United States, which alone had power to ratify them; and the court found In the provistons of the act Of June 20, 1874, a full recognition of those contracts « waiver of the coniitions to these allowances, therefore held turther that the suit c tuned on these contracts, originally void, and therefore remanded the case for a new trial,which has not yet taken place.

Young claimed that he was obeying orders in refusing to allow Marvin to pass. Henry Irving and His Theater. “Guth,” in the Cincinnati Enquirer. While on theatrical matters I would observe that I went to see Henry Irving in London play Romeo, and was very much surprised at the sort of acting I encountered. My idea had been that Irving was a man of what is called magnetic quality, highly em- bellished with melodramatic touches, and that he was precocious and almost improvised as he layed. x Tround instead a tall man with along face and a brown-study manner, whose eyes and head were generally turned toward the floor; he would lift his head and dart a modulat half-intelligible line, and then, with his arms folded. look on the floor and strut a very af- fected kind of astrat. He was al npg. | his head from the ground up to the sky, would fling his sentences, so to speak, and subside into gravity and’ meditation again. Nevertheless, he grew interesting because he never overdid anything, and when he came to make love to Juliet in the great ball- room, for a while I lost the recollection of the theater and sympathized with the two young people desperately bent on falling in love. AS @ lover he is altogether more interesting than Edwin Booth; but he seems not to have that sinister, satanic quality which you discern in Booth when aroused, and when he paces the Stage with a voice so nervous that it seems to eutanate from his thin legs, and the whole man to be made of fiddle-strings, The production of “Romeo and Juliet” at Irving's theater was really remarkable. In places there were long lines of real trees seb out, the jeaves all moving under an artificial breeze, and seeming to melt into the painted woods in the rear. The ball scene, in the same manner, was made very literal and was arrivals at the river front to-day as follows: Scbr. Jullan, Calhoun, 45,000 feet lumber, J. H. Johnson & Co.;'schr.
