JlllT 19, 189. f
Never at this preolso date In the season, and pro
bably never at any other date, was Capo Island so
overnowing with people as it 1h Jnst now. As I have
stated In previous letters, the hotel and cottage lm-
provemcnts which have been completed during the
pant wlntor afford ample accommodation for two
thousand people. Vet on Saturday evening, when
the regular express train of the West Jersey Kail
road arrived, and the contents of Its sixteen crowded
' ars were turned loose, hundreds of travel-stained
ifayfarers found themselves in an nnhnppy quandary
as to what disposition they would make of them
selves for the night. But the seaside host possesses
one quality In a pre-eminent degree, and that is a
fertility of resource In stowing away his fellow-men
I5y hook or crook, every man, woman, and child
found a becl, and congratulated himself or hersel
according to lis size and surroundings, and the num
ber of bed-ft'liows.
The Kncnuipment of the C.rry Itrservp.
As all the world haa already been made aware, the
1st Keglment of Pennsylvania Militia, otherwise
known as the Cirey Reserves, arrived in this sea Bidu
town on Friday afternoon, nnd pitched their tents
for a week's encampment. The 'regiment turned
out 825 strong for thla agreeable military episode,
Companies A, It, C, D, E, II. and I participating in
It. It is under the command of Colonel James W.
Latta, who is accompanied by the full regimental
Staff. The spot selected for the' week's sojourn Is on
a piece of rising ground about one mile distant from
the principal hotels, but within a quarter of a mile of
the ocean shore. This solitary unit of a mile, albeit
a genuine Jersey mile, and therefore about as weari
some a walk in a scorching Jersey sun as any one
not a Jerseyman would desire to make, is expanded
by the lively imagination of a Jersey hackmaa into
two miles and a half, and a drive over it charged
for accordingly.
Who Wouldn't be a Soldier?
The camp, which has been named Camp Upton, in
honor of the gallant oillcer upon whose staff Colonel
Latta served during the war, Is partially surrounded
by clumps of stunted trees, but they are so far re
. moved that their dwarfed shadows avail not the
gallant boys who are playing soldier for a week "just
for the fun of the thing." And If you listen to their
melancholy narrations about the thermometer
achieving every day at noon the feat of 103 degrees
when immersed in a bucket of ice-water and shaded
by a kettle-drum, you could not, in all conscience,
dispute the perspiring youth In grey when he assured
you that the whole regiment were enjoying the big
gest kind of a time. Yet the boys contrive to catch
a whiff of every breeze that is going, and, when
they do so, exclaim with true martial enthusiasm,
"Who would not be a soldier?"
The tents are grouped In long parallel lines, run
ning from north to south, and to distinguish one
from another, for they arc 184 In number, many.of
them have been labelled with such unique and clas
sical titles as the Smith House, the Continental,
the Rosebud, the Stockton, and the Patent Inn.
It will not be amiss to state that the regiment,
during Its sojourn of a; week, Is being subjected to
the strictest sort of military tlhietpllne. But the
enjyrit du corpx Is so strongly Implanted in the manly
and fearless bosoms of Its members, that to a man
they comply with every regulation without an ap
proach to a murmur. As evidence of the high tone
which pervades the camp, It is only necessary to
state that yesterday morning large numbers attended
divine service in a neighboring church, and listened
with marked attention and apparent profit to the
sermon which was delivered by the Chaplain, Rev.
Wallace Raiicliff, pastor of the Presbyterian Church
at Fortieth and Pine streets, West Philadelphia,
It Is not necessary for me to repeat in detail the
first episode which befel the gallant Pennsylvania
militiamen, their grand triumphal march through
the streets of Cape Island on the evening of Friday.
Preparing to Welrome the Enemy.
On Saturday morning, however, the second nota
ble Incident ol the week transpired. A man was
espied by one of the guard making in the direction
of the camp with all the speed that was at his com
mand. He was gesticulating wildly and vociferating
loudly, and consternation was begotten by his ap
proach. As soon as Colonel Latta was apprized of
his approach, he cleared his throat to give the order
for doubling the guards and deploying a full com
pany as skirmishers, under the quite justifiable
belief that the enemy, in the shape of an army of
Jersey land sharks of various species, was about to
pounce down upon his command, drive his de
moralized followers into the yawning sea, and then
sack his deserted quarters until they had realized a
surfeit of plunder.
Tbe Great Honor Iteserveil Tor the Grry Re
mvrvva.
The consternation of the worthy commander, how
ever, was Increased tenfold when he was told by the
panting messenger that the Tallapoosa was lying
off the Cape with the President of the United States
and a party of distinguished personages on board
Colonel Latta at once suppressed the half-uttered
commands he had given, donned his full-dress uni
form, aud, stepping into a small row-boat, was soon
placed on the deck of the Presidential vessel. Ills
mission was a daring one. The President of the
X'nlted States had never yet, in the history of the
country, passed a single regiment of militiamen in
review. Could it be that this great honor was re
served for .the Grey Reserves 7 It was even so ; for,
when the request was made, a graceful assent was
given, and the President announced that in half an
hour he wo.ild appear at the encampment.
He was as good as his word nay, better. INot half
of the time allotted to the serious task of preparing
for such a momentous event had elapsed before
the arrival of the Presidential party at Gamp Upton
was heralded. But the boys were ready. As the
enthuBhistic chronicler of the Associated Press has
alreadv informed the world, "the troops received
their old commander with cheers." The customary
formalities of such a ceremonial were duly observed
and after a short sojourn within the limits of Camp
Upton. President Grant and his companions de
parted, and the Grey Reserves were left masters of
the Held, with the undisputed right to claim the
oreateHt feat on record to tho credit of a militia
regiment.
The PreHsilrntlul Jnrty,
as appears from the register of the Stockton
House, consisted of "Ills Excellency President
Grant and family," "Ex-Secretary Borie," aud
'"Postmaster-General Creswell aud family." Among
them were Mrs. Grant, Mr. Fred, Grant, who Is now
a cadet at West Point, and one of tho President i
daughters. The Tallapoosa hail arrived off the Cape
at live o'clock in the morning, but breakfast was pur
taken of on board tho vessel, and it was half past te
before the distinguished honor of the review at Camp
I'pton transpired. At half past eleven, as has bee
mude a part of history by the enthusiastic chronicle
above quoted, the Presidential party went In to bathe
and subsequently settled themselves In commodious
and eleguut apartments at the Stockton House, there
t o remain during their sojourn upon the Island.

mime" at I'onuri'Ha Hull.
But the brilliant achievements of the Grey Ro
serves, which fate had decreed should be crowded
into a single day, were far from being complete. A
formal reception at Congress Hall was upon the pro
gramme for the evening. The spacious dining-room
was magnificently ornamented for the occasion by a
co luuons series of festoons of bunting, stretching
along the cornice of the entire apar'meat The
company that assembled Vo participate In the affair
was ono of tho largest and most brilliant that has
ever been collected on the Island. The grand event
as ushered In by an attractive display of fireworks
upon the lawn, and before tno glare of the rockets
was ended a loud outbreak of applause bnrst from
the f pectators and announced the arrival of the Pre
sident The Reserves, in all the splendor of full uni
form, but wlthou t their Instruments of slaughter, were
drawn up In line extending tho length of the rsom,
and at half-past 9 President Grant, leaning upon the
arm of E. C. Knight, Esq., and followed by the ladles
and gentlemen who bear him company.entered. The
Presldont immediately passed down the line and
returned, recolvlng a marching salute ,"Hall to the
Chief" meanwhile .being played by MoClurg's band.
In a few fitting words, Mr. Knight then formally
welcomed the regiment to the island, and ;Oolonol
Latta made a becoming response. After the Prcsi.
dentlal party retired, tho regular programme of
dances a wild medley of galop, waltz, quadrille
and landers was gone through with, tho bravo
boys from Camp Upton exerting thomselvcs to the
utmost lo close the day without detracting from Its
earlier achievements. Mark Husslcr wielded the
baton, olid not until the stroke of twelve Impended
was the brilliant affair brought to a close.
A Mnrlllnir Kmcinhlnnre.
To say that the arrival of President Grant at tho
Island on Saturday created a profound sensation
would be telling the simple truth. His visit was not
anticipated until It was announced In tho papers by
telegraph from Fortress Monroe, and even then the
announcement was regarded by many as a hoax, as
his intended arrival at Long Branch on the satne
day had been telegraphed all over the country.
Therefore, when the islanders and their legion of
guests were forced to believe that tho Tallapoosa
was lying off the Capo, a profound sensation was the
result. And the sensation lost naught of its Intensity
during the thirty-four hours through which the
Presidential sojourn extended. "Have you seen
him 7" "Have you seen General Grant 7" "Have
you seen the President ?" Ten thousand queries of
this sort were put, and ten thousand yeas smTliays,
about evenly divided, were givejo.M response.
One free and sovereign citizen, as be was peram
bulating the front plsn'.a of the Stockton House,
on Saturday afternoon, thought at one moment that
he stood face to, face with the hero of the apple tree
at Appomattox, and yet he was troubled by grave
doubts. So he approached the quiet gentleman in
black, whose personal appearance so closely fulfilled
his notions of the Presidential physiognomy.
"Are you General Grant?" he queried, bluntly.
"1 am frcq'.ontly taken for him " was the response,
and given with Buch a defiantly impenetrable air,
that the anxious sovereign turned on his heel, still
floundering in a sea of doubt.
During a great portion of both Saturday and Sun-
day, the President was of course the recipient of
formal calls by persons of more or less oonsequence
in tbe world. I ana extremely happy to bo able to
state, on unquestionable authority, that he was as
grave and courteous as usuai;that nothing of the
slightest consequence, especially in relation to the
Cuban question or the Alabama claims, escaped his
lips; and that, singular and Incredible as it may ap
pear, to the Word "horse" he did not once give ntter
ance during tho entje, thirty-four hours of his stay
among us.
- The Prenident Lights n. Cigar.
Despite all the welcome and unwelcome calls, and
despite all the annoying glances and persistent pur
suits in which tho morbidly curious indulged, the
President in due time found himself at the end of
his first day at Cape Island, and betook himself to
rest in much the same fashion, by way of prellmina-
naties, as is customary with the general run of man
kind. At precisely seventeen minutes after eight
o'clock on Sunday morning he opened his eyes, and
expressed no astonishment whatever when he dis
covered, on so doing, that the sun was already high
In the heavens. A gentleman of remarkably inquisi
tive habits, and exhibiting an inordinate passion for
learning the most trifling details of the Presi
dent's movements, who scribbled upon tho
hotel register tho name of A. Jenkins,
of the New York Enterprise, and whoso
departure, as well as his arrival, proved to be simul
taneous with that of the Presidential party, stated in
my hearing, on Sunday morning, that the first thing
the President did after opening his eyes and ascer
taining the ratter unremarkable fnct that it was
daylight, was to ring for a cigar. This, remarked
Mr. J., with a deal of positlveness, he lighted before
moving a muscle other than those or his eyelids,
right arm, and lips. Mr. J. 's source of information
proved to be a reliable contraband who, with his
own hand, had struck the match Ytfilch ignited the
Presidential weed, and with his own two eyes, half
emerging from their sockets, had witnessed the
Ignition. If your readers choose to put faith in the
Btory. they are at liberty to do so ; but I deem it due
to them to state, In all candor, that I did not succeed
in confirming or annihilating It-
Be this story true or false, one assertion which fell
from the lips of Mr. J. I am enabled flatly to
contradict. This was to the effect that when tho
President entered the breakfast-room, at half-past 9
precisely, he held a cigar between his Presidential
teeth, the which the cigar, of course, and not the
teeth he quietly removed as soon as he was seated
at table, and placed carefully under the edge of his
plate. This report, I am fully persuaded, was manu
factured out of the whole cloth, for I chanced to be
leaving the room just as the President entered it,
and am quite positive that he had not then a cigar
about his Presidential person. The air was not even
freighted with the slightest odor of the weed.
Tbe President at llrenkliiHt.
Instead of tucking away the remnant of a cigar,
the President, as soon as he was settled in his seat,
picked np the bill of fare and scanned it hurriedly.
He then turned his head slightly to the right, and
pronounced In a tone that was perfectly audible to
the attentive gentleman or color, who leaned over
the back of his chair, the words:
"A cup of coffee, a piece of beefsteak, an omelet,
and some dry toatt. That is all, I believe."
During the three quarters or an hour which the
President passed at the breakfast table, he spoke
frequently to the members or his party who were
grouped about him, but not once during these three
quarters or an hour did he breathe the word "horse,"
or ask ror a cigar. My authority ror these statements
is the united testimony or the five gentlemen or color
who waited upon the Presidential table, some one or
whom was constantly immediately behind tho Presi
dential chair. s.
As soon as the President had finished his leisurely
breakrast, he left the table, emerged from the room
Into the main hall of the hotel, and proceeded with
out delay to his private parlor. My authority fsr
these statements is my own unquestioned closeness
of observation.
The President Tnkea a Bath.
Here, again, I can vouch for the entire correctness
of my narrative. The event transpired between hair
past eleven and live minutes ufter twelve, counting
the time during which tho President was preparing
ror a wrestle with tho breakers and that during
which he was preparing to again race the world on
dry land.
When tho President first entered his bathing room,
he was attired In a monotony or black. When he
emerged therefrom he was grotesquely clad in a suit
or blue Manuel, with wide stripes of whlto running
down the legs of his commodious trousers and down
the sleeves of his rather baggy jacket. If tho truth
must be told, tho avordupois or the patriotic gentle
man w ho loaned tho President a bathing suit is
slluhtly in excess or that or the Presldont himself.
This circumstance will satisfactorily account for tho
circumstance slated just previously.
fcuch of the bathers as were buffeted by the waves
into the Immediate proximity of the Presldont,
while the latter was taking his bath, noticed at a
glance Unit ho had not been head over ears in tho
wafer for two seconds before he became very wet.
To all uppcaranccs, tho President's garments were
completely saturated, and to all appearances the
President paid no attention to tne cuxumsiaui-u.
In fact, he rather seemed to like the accumulation
of moisture uiu his bathing costume, and dived,
ami nouudered. and pitched about, quite as reck
lessly us Ihe most reckless upon tho beach. When
the President finally emerged from the water nnd
started towards his nflfh-honsp, he was cniplctclr
soaked. Of this fact there Can be no doubt.
llptnIN Too Nnmrfonn to mention.
I might follow the President through the ceremony
of dinner; mlghtdctall how he passed the afternoon:
mliiht explain why ho did not eat any supper; might
depict the consternation which fell upon the whole
Island community, and notably upon the Grey Re
serves and tho First City Troop, when it was an
nounced that the President, Instead of remaining
until Monday morning, would take his departure for
Lor.g Branch at 8 o'clock on the evening of 8nnd iy ;
might narrate the words which passed between the
President and a select commltteo which devoted a
hall hour to attempting to effect a change in the
Presidential programme. But I Intend to do nothing
of the kind.
The SrLy Heacrvppi Overwhelmed.
When It was final ly settled that the Presidential
party would board the Tallapoosa at H in tlio even
ing, ihe dismay thereby created was somewhat
modified by tho accompanying announcement that
he would pay one more visit to Cump Upton. This
was to take place at 7 o'clock, the hour for the
regular evening dress parado. as tho momentous
moment approac hed, every available conveyance was
brought into requisition, the sojourners upon the
Island still laboring under tho delusion that tho soli
tary Jersey mile which stretched between them and
Camp Upton was equal to two statute miles nnd a
half. The crowd that found Us way to tho camp
numbered at least fifteen hundred people.
The companies of the command were duly mar
shalled at the appointed hour; tho formalities and
evolutions of the parado were gone through with in
the most satisfactory and creditable, manner; the
drum-major and the drum corps and tho full brass
band marched up tne Hue to slow time, dispensing
Offcnhachian strains, and countermarched to quick
time ; the company reports were made ; the parade,
after being stretched out to its utmost limits was
finally dismissed, and the spectators and thebiave
soldier-boys were alike and equally disappointed.
1 he hero of Appomattox, for once in his life, had
illUc JJomeet a military appointment.
At tweutf 'ninutes past 7, however, a great crv
was raised onHhe'biUsklrts or the crowd, still
lingering on tho st'&ne or 'ttMjIr discomfiture. Then
there was a grand usti and"acramble, and on all
sides was echoed thecommamlo "rail in I" The
Greys were again taktn unaware). So completely
unawares were they tkken, that thV neglected to
"receive their old coiimander wltli cheers." Yet
they bestirred themselves as such gallant campaign
ers are wont to do, ani in an incredibly short spaue
or time the line wasagain drawn oiR the entire
length or the camp.
Meanwhile, two cariages had been driven into the
centre of tho groui) of tents. In the first sat the
President, PoBtmufeter-Oeneral Creswell, and A. VV.
Markley, Esq. ; ti the second, Mr. Fred. Grant, Mr.
Samuel Hour (iv son of the Attorney-General), Mrs.
Grant, and M-iss Mcllvalne, a sister-in-law or the
Postmaster-General. As soon as the carriages
passed tue' eager crowd pressed about them, and
not a few, both ladies and geutlemen, succeeded in
getting a shake rrom tho Presidential hand. But us
soon as the line was fairly formed, the two car
riages made the circuit of the camp, and were then
driven down the array In review. This simple cere
mony over, the regiment wuJ again dismissed, and
after a few minutes more of delay, extending the
visit to an even quarter of an hour, tho Presiden
tial party took their departure, being followed by
the echoes of the salute or twenty-one guns, which,
in compliance with President Grant's request, was
fired on his retiring rrom tho ground, Instead or at
his arrival.
Oil They CSo.
The Presidential party at once boarded tho Talla
poosa, and the Tallapoosa proceeded on her voya?e.
The Grey Reserves, after gloating over the glories
of the past two days, finally crawled under their
tents to dream their triumphs o'er again. At mid
night their visions were disturbed by a drenching
rain.
The Programme for To-day.
Despite the departure of the President, tho events
ef to-day give promise or being unusually attractive
and brilliant, Major-Geueral Meade will review the
troops ut their encampment, and with him on this
occasion will be Major-General Stewart Van Vliet,
the Quartermaster-General or tho Department of
the East, Adjutant-General Drum, and General
Barstow, Alde-de-Camp. The presence of President
Grant would have lent additional lustre to tho event,
but It will be highly attractive, even in his absence.
In the evening will transpire at the Stockton
House the grand soiree mititaire, ror which prepara
tions have been made on such a scale as will doubt
less render it the mast brilliant social occasion or
the season. The Greys, in whose honor it Is to be
given, will or course be present in full rorce titnl "in
full uniform. In addition to them, quite a number
of the members or the First City Troop are already
on hand, and others still are xpected. They will
likewise appear in their gorgeous full dress, with
their ponderous seven-league boots and their dangerous-looking
spurs. Tho company will bo large
overwhelmingly so. Everybody will be there that is
to say, every body that can get there.

The World Grows Wiher. The human stomach has
been a shamefully persecuted organ. There was a time
when, for every dereliction of duty, it was punishod with
huge doses of the most disgusting and nauseous drugs. In
vain it rejected them, and (literally) returned them upon
the hands of those who administered them. They wore
foroed upon it again and again, until its solvent power
was thoroughly drenobed out of it.
The world is wiser now than it was in that drastic era
when furious purgation and mercurial salivation were
what A r tennis Ward would have called the "main holt" of
the faculty, in cases of dyspepsia and liver complaint.
The great modern remedy for indigestion and bilious

which has the morit of combining a palatable iluvorwith
such tonic, aperient, and antibilious properties as were
never heretofore united in any modicine.
