A notable feature of this excursion party from the banks of the Potomuq was the presence of W. T. Crumn iia caterer of the party. Ho is wnll known to the nation as the man who stood so nobly by the late Presi ded Garliohl in his terrible .sulTorings anil moved und carried the martyred president from pluco to plaeoin hia anna with the tenderness that n mother bhows to her child. As Dr. Bliss and the other attending physicians said , Crump worked twenty-two out of the twonty-four hourscvoryday , So neglect ful of self was ho that ho broke down in his arduous duty , his spinu becoming in jured from the strains occasioned by lift ing the president. After General Gar- Itefd 'A death many friends who recognized his great work sent him to Europe with the hope that his health would bo re stored. The result , however , was only a purtial restoration , and to-day Mr. Crump is fnr from being physically sound , Ono would not think so from his looks , for ho is a ruddy-faced , portlygcn- Uemnu , below the medium height and is in the puma of life , just turninghis forty-sixth year. Ho was a member of the Twenty-third Ohio volunteers , of which ox-President Hayes \rna colonel nnd General John O. Cowln of this city was ono of his comrades in the war. When Rutherford B. Hayes was elected president , Mr. Crump was made steward of the white house , which tuition ho hold until President Garftcld'd death. Subsequently ho held thu fiamo place under President Arthur for nine mouths , until hid spine troubles forced him to resign , Mr , Crump then became proprletonoMho Summit home. GaitlioMburg , Mrjiftx/miory county Md , , which is n beautiful ulral retreat twenty- nine miles from M tvoiington. Here it Is that the Methwlis otHie District of Co lumbia , Virginia ; ] hni ( Maryland hnvo their extensive tJhmpfnioetinK grounds , nnd it U also a very pjinulnr summer re sort. CongrcssgrnnWd Mr. Crump $3,000 for his services tri tlio dying president , but Judee LawreHee , one'of the auditors of the treasury , cm ] il'Vlown lo 500 on Iho ground that the bunollefar.v was n trov- eminent employo'.flt the time. He had ; another bill for $ o)00 , { ) .presented to con gress , but it was natural lo suppose that it died in commUteu'Whcn ' the eomplexion of the present hottfce N considered. ' Mr. Crump very cordially showed the representative 01 the Hr.fi through his apartments , The lirst car on the train Is entirely devoted to cooking. There nro in it a largo rango.brollcr , pastry cooker , etc , in fact every thing that the best up * pointed hotel kitchen could have for cul inary purposes. Thn car isdevole.d to no other uses. Mr. Crump has fourteen as sistants , and IIP is able to gotuptholinest dinner in an hour and torty minutes. The next car Is devoted to dining pur pose * , llfly-six being accommodated atone ono silling. There tire UO to bo fed three times a dayRo It can bo scon the caterer's position is not a very easy ono. Break fast is served from 6 to U o'clock ; lunch from 12.IO to 2 o'clock , and dinner nt 5 o'clock. By requestor the parly no elaborate - aborato menus nro prepared , but the meals arc equal to any obtained in the best hotels notwithstanding this desire. Ycstcidav the party had Its first meal in Nebraska , ns dinner was served shortly after the train left the boundaries of the city , The bill of faro 'included roost beef , "chicken , cnrrio of lamb with green peas , ham nnd cabbage , potatoes , sliced tomatoes , bread custard and any variety of sauces , desert sweets , fruits of all kinds , tea coffee , etc. , etc. The caterer has provided everything that the season affords and money can buy in 'the food line , and inasmuch as rumors of the drought in thu west had reached "Washington before the party started it wns deemed best as a sanitary precaution to lay in a bountiful simply of liquids. So it is that oven if the train did pass through Iowa there wcro within its capacious "lockers" all the wines that the most critical gourmand could desire ; beer of Ganibrinus' favorite brow ; min eral waters , cordials , imported ginger ule in fact anything that the thirst might crave. The party iins its own barber shop aboard and nothing is wanting to make the thirty day's trip a memorable pno. COM.MANDnit IIUKOIITT. Gen. S. S. Bnrdctt , commander-in-chiel of the G. A. 1 ? , is n man just'turning the middle mile stone. He is inclined to be portly , but his height is such as 10 make this unnoticeublc and allow him to be cbrrectly pronounced ono of fine phy- siqilo. He wears chin whiskers reaching to the breast , all his head hair has been on a permanent leave of absonnco , but altogether he is what ; one would call a line loopking gcnlfeimm.

The commissioner of pensions is a handsome man , and to look at him anil remember the paper portraits would make a person wish to cast the latter into oblivion forever. No portrait of the commissioner yet given to the pub lic resembles Gen. Black in tlio least. Ho is of fine face and form and in middle age. Uo wears a moustache and short-cut chin whiskers , both being nearly all gray. A constant smile plays across his features , and not many men are brighter and moro pleasing conver sationalists than lie. Ho looks the last man in the world who would deal harshly with a soldier or endeavor to wrongfully criminates a predecessor in odico. CommLsMtmor Black said ho did not know when the pension commit tee would finish its deliberations. They seemed to take the matter very easy dur ing the hot woathnr , tlio sessions of late being about ono a week. Ho boliavcd that the chaises made against ex-Com missioner Dudley could be sustained and his' only object in calling Iho attention of congress to the matter was lor the. good ofj'lho public service. In regard to Presi dent Cleveland's vetoes of pension bills , the commissioner thinks that ho acted the only way he could act under existing laws. The public wore too hasty in judg- \iift \ these matters. They formed un opinion before they knew anything of the circumstances. He challenged any < > jio to have n greater love for Ins coni- 'ratles in arms'than ha had , but those sol diers were human and wore in the wronz sometimes. Ho believed President Cleveland - land was at heart a true friend of the bovs in blue.
