With their upturned collars, mu filed chins and quick, nervous movements, they jeemed as if inspired by a stern sense of duly alone. The rough board shed, be decked with bunting, opening upon a mow-cove-'fd field, the shalt ot marble, as simple, as unspotted, as majestic and tow ering as the character ot the man it com- memorate*. were elements ot the esriy iceses. The first distinguished arrival was an old gentleman with long white hsir, whose firm, clear-out features be trayed s possible relationship to the Father o! his Country. “Ticket, sir.” “I am one ot the Washington kindred, but I wilt show my ticket.” It was Ebenezer Burgees Ball, o! London connty, Vs. grandmother,” he said to a reporter "wsP Georg® Washington's niece, my grandiather Ball was ot the family of Gen eral Washington's mother, Mary Ball." The military arrived betimes. Tne brats bands were msrshalled to their places and the troops came to a rest. Senator fiber- man, chairman of the joint Congressional commission, from tbo centre stand, at 11 o'clock, called about 800 people to order, and said something abont tne people keep ing their hats on.

Mr. Long spoke from the clerk's de«k in an Impressive manner and in a Vo ce which, though not loud, was so clcir s> in reach every corns' ot the chamber. The elegant passages ot the speech were delivered with a fervor which elicited frequent bursts of spplause, and ss Mr. Long read the peroration the multitude broke into a storm of applause. On the ri-tttt oi the Sneaker were seated the chaplains ot the Senate and House and Rev. Mr. Wallis, while on his left eat Hen. John W, Daniel, ot Virginia, and Senator Sherman, chairman of the Con gressional joint commission. As Mr. Long o'osed the hsnd struck up "Colombia, Gem ot theOcesn," and as the strains ot the air ended Mr. Edmunds introduced, HON, J. W. DANIEL, OF VIRGINIA, who waa greeted with long-continued clap ping of hands. Mr. Daniel proceeded to the delivery of his oration. Though hav ing his mannserf pt on tha desk before him, Mr. Daniel referred to tt but once or twice during the conrse ot his oration. He spoke in an easy manner, his voice being finely modulated to suit the meaning ot bis sentences, and bis speech was accentu ated and emphaalzsd by graceful gestures. Many times he was interrupted by rounds ot spplause elicited by bts clear, cool and balancer! periods and by hla eloquent stx le of uttering them. As he closed, Senator E irannda and Mr. Sherman.

His visit brought things to a bead, and when he parted from here the cabinet was practlcslly completed. I have learned from a source not to be questioned for one moment that Mr. Cleveland has positively settled on five members, and all ot them have given in tbelr formal accept ance. These are the names and places they are to fill: Bsyard, secretary of state; Manning, secretary of the treasury; Lamar, secretary of the Interior; Garland, attorney-general; Vilas, postmaster-gen eral. This leaves the war and navy port folios to be filled. He is now disposed to appoint Mr. Whitney, of New York, to the navy. If be had to send in bis cabinet to-dav be wonld no donbt do so. Of course this means two men from New York. This Is worry' ing him a good deal. He wants Whitney, and is abent decided to ignore former fFIRE IN SAVANNAH.

These leaflets state, honestly enough, that demsges amounting in esti mate to $30,0,0,000 were done to American •hipping by French privateers daring th* remainder ol tha riabtaanU) century tubd sequent to tbe revolution; that theselnl juriea were, alter mnch International dick- jar, offset against claims brought against na hv tha branch government; but that tbe I individual loters, numbering notices than 1/00 aea captains and owners ol seized var- seia and cargoes, got no recompense, al though thirty-seven different committees ot Congress reported favorably and only five adversely on the question wbetheronr ahcnld make good tbe 1 cease.

The chances to-day are clearly that he will appoint Judge Elitott, who * ill be remembered aa the Democratic nominee for Governor in Massachusetts last year. His selection wonld ba particularly satis factory to the Independents who supported Cleveland, though hie Democ racy is not to be doubted. The cabinet that made np of course dis- S rses finally of both Thurman and Me- onald and leaves the Weslern and Mid dle mates without a representative. The greatest hindrance to the appoint ment of McDonald is the irritat ing and disturbing effect it would btye on tbe Indiana Dsmoeracy, which was not anott in his advocacy. For a similar reason Mr. Clovciand passed over Mr. Thurman, an additional oDjec lion being his age, which, in Mr. Cleve land's opinion, wonld hardly permit his undertaking tbe pressing work wbich'mnit devolve a poo cabinet officers In the coming administration.

Ths Train Flagged Down to Prsvsnt an Accident. Detroit Free Press. About eighteen miles above CentralU, III., the engineer began to blow toot! toot 1 toot! and to slacken his pace, and by and by the train came to a standstill. The male passengers rushed oat, as in duty boand, and in time to see a man lying on the rails in front of the engine, and anoth* er man bending over him. When the crowds headed by the conductor, reached tbe spot, the man his fret explained; "I discovered him about ten minates ago, nnd, as I didn’t want to sen the train run over him, I gave tho signal.” ”But why didn’t you pull him off tbe track?” asked the conductor. ”1 couldn’t be hired to touch a drad body,” was tho reply. ” What I ia he data?” "Reckon he is that.” We examined the body and found life In it. He was a poorly dressed mnn, seem* ingly in hard luck, and for the matter of that so was the other. "I think,” said tho straoger who had stopped the train, “that he’s taken pizen and laid down here to make sure work of It. If you are a mind to take him on to Cenlrafia I'll kind o' rub him into life and get a doctor to pump him out.” The conductor assented, and we lagged the body inti the bsggsge car. The case created considerable talk among the pas sengers, and a purse of $7 waa made up for the unfortwate. However, as wo slowed up for Centralis, and before tbe purse was presented, there was a great yelling from the bsggsge car, and we look edont to see the two tramps dnstiug across a field. It was a gstne they flsd played to get a twenty-mile lift. JUST CUZZLE AND PLAY. The Governors Horse Guard made s fine parade pesterday afternoon.
