THE STORI OF THE COURTSBir.
Tho president was married iu the blu- parlm
where, iuat a trifle over twelve months ago,
M‘as Folsom stood wtih Miss Civeisnd to re
ceive alone of her Batnrday afie n ion rcoep-
Mon. A lady, In describing the scone, brought
back vividly a little incident Which rtcetlfrcd, in
which the bright and clever ICsto Ilsysid
figured. Someone, looking at Miss Folsjin.
s.-.i 1 :
“Slio is a pretty girl, Miss Biyard, don’t you
think ?’’
I ’’Yes,” she rrpllod, “and soon to lie Piesi
nf Cleveland’s wifo.’ 1
Tho long agony is over. At last tho public is
in possession of llio groat acoret. Washington
breathes ensier, both because all mystery is st
last cleared sway from this absorbing topic, 1
and because tho happy ovont has occurred there 1
instead of st tho home of the Folsoms, as was ,
hitherto ropoitcd. President Cleveland, ac-
eompani d by Miss Cleveland, went to New
York Sunday night. Oil Monday he attended j
the decoration day exercises. Tuesday morn
ing the presidential party loft on an early train
for Washington. Miss Folsom, her mother and
several other relatives oamo to Washington on i
tho same train. Tin Folsoms were the guests
of Secretary Whitney until the wedding,which f
oocurred at 8 o’olock Wednesday evening, at i
tiie White House. Only a few friends and
relatives, tho members of tho cabinet and j
their familios woro present at tho ceremony.
After the marriage there waa a rcoeption to
oongross, the diplomatic corps, army and navy
offloers and invited guests, Tlio date originally
set was Jnno 16th, bat it wa> moved up two
weeks on account of the incessant gossip and
tlio variety of commonts which is said to have
boon very annoying to both parties. This was
the first wedding over had in the WhiteHonse.
It ia thought perfectly proper that MissFolaom
should be married there as Mr. Cleveland it
her guardian as well as the groom eleot.
A LIST OF TUE GUESTS.
Tho following is a comploto list of those
prosont at tho president’s marriage: Mrs. Fol

President Cleveland Purchases Property
Kenr Washington.
The Piviident has purchased a house in the
suburbs of Washington, on the Tenallytown
read. The houso is a two anil one-half story
6tone mansion, elegantly situated on high
ground, commanding a line view of tho sur
rounding country and to which is attachod
twenty nine acres of ground. It is said
to bo tho purpose of tiie President to
occupy this homo during the summer
months, and at other periods of the year
when lio desires to be safe from intrusion
wliilo he hns any special labor to perform. It !
is also reported that the President will make '
considerable improvement in tho houso, add
ing nn additional story and erecting a tower,
which will give a view of the Potomac River
as far as Mount Vernon. This would indi
cate that Mr. Cleveland intends to make 1
Woodloy, tho name by which the estate is
known, his home after retiring from the
Presidency. The price paid foe the property
was $21,500. It is lei! than thirty minutes’
drive from the White House.

Natural Selection in Mankind.
“Tho strongest mon in intellect,” said
Professor Dana infiiis closing lecture on
Evolution in Peabody Museum, New
Haven, “are gradually taking possession
of tho globe, thus exemplifying natural
selection. This is seen in the spreading
out of England’s domain. Before 1858
it was supposed thnt that species had al
ways existed in tho same condition in
which they were then found. Now this
has all vanished. Tho reasons for the
migration of animals and plants ore
sweeping. All changes in physical con
ditions of migrations may work great
changes either good or bad. Let the
temperature or humidity of a climate be
changed, it will bo for tho benefit of some
and tho disadvantugo of others. Thus,
cutting down shade trees will strengthen
the gross which was undor the tree, whilo
it will crowd out tho weeds. Remain*
of tropical. species are found in Great
Brition, showing that it was once joined
to the continent-. North America waa
onco joined to Europe across the Arotic
ocean, allowing the pasqpge of animals.
Migrating birds and storm winds may
carry with them many hundreds of miles
small insects and seeds. The migration
of the potato bug from Colorado has been
rapid, and were it not for man’s caro
there would have been a complete de
struction of the species of potatoes.”
Blunting the Feelings.
“Curious how one’s feelings get blunt
ed by the sight of blood and horrors,”
says Sir Chas. Wilson, in his new narra
tive of the Nile expedition. “There was
one strange incident. An unwounded
Arab, armed with a spear, jumped up
and charged an officer. The officer
grasped the spear with his left hand, and
with his right ran his sword through the
Arab’s body; and there for a few seconds
they stood, the officer being-unable -to
withdraw his sword until a man ran up
and shot the Arab. It was a living em
bodiment of one of the old gladiatorial
frescoes of Pompeii. It did not, strange
to say, seem horrible; rather, after what
had passed, an every-day occurrence. I
used to wonder before how the Roman*
could look on at the gladiatorial fighta;
l do so no longer."
