and Present—The Parade.
Washingtox, March 5. —The city w
wild with enthusiasm all Tuesday night, and
nlrove the houses rose the loud incessant
cheers of a myriad of voices, broken here and
there by the strains of lively music, or the
rattle of drums. Washington was decked like
a bride waiting the coming of her lord.
Eve of the Day.
Mr. Cleveland has three rooms for his own
use on the second floor of the Pomroy house,
the annex of the Arlington. Sergeant Dens
more, of the white house, whose long exper
ience has made him familiar with the faces of
public men, took his station in the corrider as
soon as Mr. Cleveland arrived, and all cards
passed t hrough his hands.
Mr. Dinsmore has a remarkable faculty of
remembering names and faces, and detects
cranks and bores at a glance. He proved to
be invaluable in assisting Mr. Cleveland to
lead a comparatively quiet time in the hotel.
Senators Gorman and Garland called and
left their cards without going up to see Mr.
Cleveland. Col. Vilas called, and while he
wa.s there Secretary McCulloch called. After
that there was a steady procession of visitors,
including Mayor Banks, of Albany. Gen. j
Sheridan, Col. Sheridan and Col. Gregory ’
and several members of the reception com’
mitte; the Hon. Frank Jones, of New Hamp
shire; Roswell P. Flower, William Henry
Hurlbut, Oswald Ottendorfer, Edward
Cooper, Daniel N. Lock wood, Patrick Kelly,
of Minnesota; Senators Sherman Hawley and
Ransom, of the senate inauguration commit
tee; Wilson P. Bissell, Mr. Cleveland’s law
jxartner; Attorney General O’Brien, of New
work; Senator Jackson, of Tennessee, and
many members of the house of represeutaz
tivea
A Halt for Lunch.
Visitors were excluded for a time, and Mr.
Cleveland and member* of his party sat
down to luncheon. The reception room where
the president-elect received his guests wa»
fragrant with flowers.
After lunch Mr. Cleveland and Col. La
mont drove to the white house, were a formal
cell was made very pleasant by the presi- .
dent’s courteous r<‘ception of his succ< ssor. In
the evening President Arthur made the cus- i
ternary return call.
The Mate Unbroken.
There was little significance in the greater
number of visits. The idea generally pre
vailed that the cabinet was settled upon.
Stories were set afloat that two vacancies ex
isted and that conferences were going od '
over them. The alleged conferences were not
tor that purpose, however, and persons who
appeared to know Mr. Cleveland’s intentions
smiled at the suggestion of a change. The
McDonald men were the only ones who made j
an effort to break the cabinet slate. Senator
Voorhees made a final appeal for his hoosier
friend, but got no encouragement.
The western and southern men about the
hotels growled a good deal about New York’s
dual representation. Nearly all the prospec
tive mem tiers of the cabinet were among
those tliat called. Smith M. Weed was a late
arrival by a night train.
Appointments.
Appointments that gossip said were deter
mined upon were:
Minister to the Court of St James, Edward
Cooper, of New York.
Minister to France, George H. Pendleton,
of Ohio.
Minister to Italy, George B. McClellan, of
New Jersey.
Collector of the port of New York, Hubert
O. Thompson.
It is understood that Mr Cleveland may
nominate his cabinet imm liately instead of
waiting until March 5 a- is sometimes done. |
“Good Bye, Old Home, Good-Bye.”
President Arthur moved out his packing '
chests on Monday. To-day the last cabinet
meeting was held to wind up the odds and
ends of his administration business, and the
diplomatic corps formally took leave of Mr.
Arthur. The president’s plans so far are to I
remain at Mr. Frelinghuysen’s for a week .
or two.
Not Too Jubilant.
"While there is no lack of bunting the dec
orations are not so elaborate as they were
four years ago. This is accounted for in j
part by the fact that the decorations are not '
all as enthusiastic as they would have been,
had the election resutoi otherwise than it
did. Garfield’s inauguration was an assur- ,
ance to many employes that they would re
tain their offices and for that reason, per
haps, the public buildings were more elab
orately trimmed than they now are. The
railroad men say the crowds that have come j
taken with those arriving, must swell the]
throng to nearly 200,000.
In the throng the eye was apt to be dazzled i
by the abundance of color and gold lace. The
democrats in congress may run to silver, but
the democratic organizations favor gold bul
lion in combination with purple, blue and
scarlet silk. As at Chicago the Philadelphia i
democrats outdo all others in the magnifi
cence of their adornments, their high hats be
ing the shiniest, their overcoats the most
stylish, and their badges the most gorgeous.
The Last Meal.
The last dinner of President Arthur
took place at the white house last night, the
guests being Gen. Sharpe, Mr. and Mrs. Mc-
Elroy, Messrs. Charles E. Miller and J. C.
Reid, Mrs. Haynesworth, Misses May and
Jessie McElrov, drudge and Mrs. John Davis,
Mr. Allan Arthvr, Miss Lucy Frelinghusen
and Miss Milllie Arthur. Dinner was served
in private dining room, which was tastefully
decorated with flowering plants and At flow
ers. The party did not separate until after 1(
o’clock. This was the dinner to which Mr.
Cleveland was invited. It was reported that
Mr, Cleveland intended to go to the white
house later in the evening, but this proved ar
error.
Entertaining Friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Z. L. Leiter, of Chicago, whe
are the tenants of Mr. Blaine’s large house or
Dupont Circle, gave a tea party in honor ot
the guests who are spending the inauguratior
week with them. Mr. Leiter has long beet
one of the leading men among the democratic
politicians of Chicago, and this week he en
terrains his friends, Col and Mrs. Wm. F
Vilas, of Wisconsin, and Mrs. John Tyler, oi
Virginia, the widow of President Tyler. The
heavy oak doors with the glass engraved witl
the interlaced letters “J. G. B. ” swung open t>
Sailj g i S t 1 ®inw.
ft com any of 300 or 300 people. Mrs. Leiter
received her guests in the middle parlor, an
apartment-furnished with rich and curious
b :of carved furniture hung with paintings
b- Cabonel, Millet an i Ger ■ ae, and enriched
w h rare treasures in bronzes and ceramics.
Mrs. Tyler, who retains much of the beauty
of i-r youth, wore a black satin dress, ths
pointed neck filled with lace and caught
with a large medalion holding a mineature
portrait of President Tyler. Mrs. Frank Ma
gi: re p ured tea, Miss Dora Miller presided
over the chocolate urn, and Miss Nicholas
assisted in caring for the guesta. For four
hours the guests were coming and going, and
the dipt malic corjis and capital society were
well re resented. CoL Vilas being in consul
tation . ith Mr. Cleveland and various com
mittemen, was not able to join the company
until during the last moments. Among the
guests present were Mrs. McPherson, Mrs.
McAlister Laughton, Mrs. Hoadly, of Ohio,
Mi’s. Hawley, Mrs. Woodhoff, Mrs. Susanne
Bancroft, the Russian minister and Mme.
Destruve, tne German minister with Count
Leyden, and Baron Sternburg, Mrs. Barlier,
Mrs. Tro vis, Mrs, J. F. Miller, Mrs. J. G. Car
lisle, Mrs. Sevier, Mrs. Eugene Schuylor, Mr.
and Mrs. Angell, Miss Magee, Mrs. Foster,
Mi's. Hooker. Miss Gay, the Portugal minis
ter and Viscountess Nogueiras, the Swiai
minister and many others.
ALL SERENE.
Delightful Day, *1 ith Flags, Flowers, Fes*
tooiia and <«u.• Paraphernalia.
Washington’, March 5. Tho culmination
of the grandest demonstration in honor of
the inauguration of a president of the United
States has -ccurred.
Preparations for the inaugural festivities
on the grandest scale ever known were com
pleted last night. Nothing but a fine day
was desired to bring about the realization of
the fondest hopes of thousands who are here.
The weather bureau's predictions were veri
fied with tho rising sun an 1 the day ojjened
with bright and beautiful weather. The
skill and ingenuity of the decorator has been
tested to the utmost, and every public build
ing, hotels and riany residences show evi
. deuces of his workmanship.
i Pennsylvania avenue from tho
| mansion to tho capitol, a distance Os more
than a mile, is •» le stretch of banners, bunt
ing, flags and streamers.
The demo is ration was unpre'* dented in
i magnificent and unrivaled in magnitude.
The city was astir early. Martial airs
could be heard in every direction. Civic and
milite.ryo; gani izations were marching to their
respective rendezvous, and streams of peo
ple wcre pushing their way to the line o*
’ march.
lluuirii Flood.
Before 9 o'clock the tide of people flowing to
I the capitol was a flood, and around the build
ing all was animation and bustle. Crowds of
jKTsons not fortunate enough to secure tickets
■ of admission to the senate lounged listlessly
about as if the coveted admission were to tw
j won by pat ient and purposeless waiting.
The number of passes issued, however, was
I not small, each senator receiving five and
! each representative two. As sexin as the doors
were optmcl the galleries of the senate rapidly
i filled. Many holding tickets of admission to
i the senate wing, but not to the galleries,
I filled the windows and corridors.
Between# and 10 o’clock the military or-
I ganizations began assembling in the cross
streets of Capital jiark, where they are to re
; main until t the president-elect delivered
| his inaugural addfoss.
Start for the ( apitol
At 10>50'th<« senate commirte • called ftt the
white house, and, w ith President Arthur,
they drove to the Arlingbm where Mr.
| Cleveland was in readiness. Mr. Cleveland
occupied the left seat. B-side him was Mr.
Arthur, and in the seat fax ing them were
Senators Ransom and Sherman, members of
the senate committee. The carriage was an
opjn barouche drawn by four bay horses in
silver mounted harneas, and with white reins.
Folio ving th m camo Mr. Hendricks and
Sena’ r Hawley and the national d“■ nocratic
cornu. ein irriages. Promptly a’ 10:30
the procession, headed by a of police,
started for the capitol with Muj. Gen. Slo
cum, chief marshal in command.
The first division was composed of United
States district troops, which followid as a
military escort to the capitol.
The march to the capitol was an uninter
rupted ovation to tho incoming president,
cheers of- i.sanns of voices continually re
sounding about his carrirge. Frequently
Cleveland responded by lifting his hat, sc
without incident or mishap the presidential
I party and escort reached the capitol.
Senate.
Washtncton, March 5.—A large number
of pri <ate relief bills wore passed by unani
mous '■ -ns'-iit and the senate then resumed
consideration of the river and harbor bill,
the pending question being on the amendment
of the committee on commerce increasing the
' house bill Jump stun) from SS,(XX),(XX) to SlO,-
010,000. Th-* amendment of the committee
| was adopted —27 to 18.
* During the debate on the river and harbor
bills the chair laid before tho senate the con
ference rep »rt on the postoffiee appropriation
I bill. Mr. Plumb explained that the house
havin. accepted the so-ealle<l sub-idy clause,
: the only remaining point of difference be
: tween the two houses now was the amend
i ments of the senate striking out the clause
i which provi.ies for a te.i cent special deliv
ery stamp After conferring with his col
leagues on the committee of conference h<
felt constrained to move tha the senate re*
cede from this amendment. The motion wot
agreed to without a dissenting vote, and the
bill will now go the president for his ap-
I proval.
Mr. Vjm Wyck, who had occupied some
time in opposition to the river and harboi
bill in its present form, then resumed his re
mark.* .
Mr Conger appealed to the senator from
Nebraska to allow a vote to be taken and
charged lim with ■ .iking against time in
order to defeat the bill, and he wished th«
country to know it. “And L,” replied Mr.
Van Wyck, “wish the country to know that
4(X) miles of the Missouri river is by this bill
. being left out in the cold.”
During Mr. Van Wyck’s remarks on th«
river and harbor bill, considerable merri
ment was caused in the senate by one of the
members of la military organization, who
was asleep in the gallery, talking aloud, hav
ing an attack of the nightmare. Th * gal
leries were well filled all night.
NV’hen Mr. Van Wyck had concluded his
remarks Mr. Jones (N. Y.) moved to lay the
b ill on the table. Lost, 17 to 31.
The legislative, navy, postoffiee and defi
ciency bilks were reported and agreed to, anc
the river and harbor bill was tablet! after ar
all-night discussion.
The President Enters.
At 11:30 the president arrived at the capi
t»h and at once proceeded to the room of thi
senate side where the appropriation bills wen
laid before him for his signature. Almost a)
the same moment, Gen. Hancock, in full
major general's uniform, entered the senatt
chamber and was greeted with applause fron
the galleries.
The presidential party occupied seats in th<
president’s gallery of the senate. It was com
posed of CoL Lamont and wife, Miss Cleva
oolumbus, ( lOxiciA Friday ' > , .lARCiid i iß>
land and Miss Hoyt, sisters of the president,
Rev. Win. Cleveland, the president’s brother,
and his wife; Mr. and Mrs. W. Hastings
Misses Nellie and Annie Yeomans, the presi
dent’s nieces; Mr. and Mrs. Bacon, of Toledo,
0., the president’s brother-in-law, and sister,
and Neil and Win. Cleveland, the president’s,
nephews.
At 11 :R5, the clerk of the house, announced
that the house had passed a bill to authorize
the president to appoint one general on the
retired list of the army.
Mr. Ingalls asked that the bill be read at
length.
It was read by the clerk.
Mr. Ingalls said: “Mr. President: The
nation knows who tliat one jiersons means; I
ask the unanimous consent that reference to
this bill to the committee be waived, and that
it now be considered by the senate.”
The chair (Garland), informed Mr. Ingalls
that his was the senate ; therefore no action
by iu» enate was nocessarry.
At this moment it was discovered that the
bill hail been brought over by the* clerk, al
ready enrolled gnd signed by the speaker,
and as Mr. Edmunds affixed his signature
there was loud applause.
At 11:40 Mr. Morrill moved that a commit?
tee of two be appointed to wait upon the
president and inform him that the senate had
concluded its labors. The chair appointed
Messrs. Morrill and Harris the committee
for this purpose.
At 11:45 Secretary Freliughuyson entered,
escorting members of the diplomatic corps,
whose brilliant uniforms and quaint cos
tumes of the Chinese and Japanese embassy
gave a brilliant color to the scone. They
occupied two front rows of desks <»n the dem
ocratic side.
Here tho venerable doorkeeper, amidst,
general laughter, went, through the usual
formula of setting the c.ock Ixaek. Mr. Pru
den, assistant sec.ro! r. .he president, was
announced with a m go fiom the presi
dent, which the chair d -iunds) statixl was
authorized to be read in open session, al
though it related to executive business. The
message was then read and it announced that
I Gun. Grant be a general of tho ai my with
full pay. The nomination was at. once con
firmed in open session, and was greeted with
! ringing applause.
I Mr. Edmunds, with grim but pleasant
smile, notified the galleries that manifestory
•. applause was entirely out of order.
I Siu rliy before I J o’clock tho judges of the
; ipreme court, headed by the chief justice,
; zho looked in feeble health, atl irol in tradi
tional silk robes, entered the chamber and
•mt-ed themselves in front of the diplomatic
corps. Meantime members of the house had
rapidly filed in (forgetting discontent with
| places assigned them) and lilial up the back
: ground, and the distinguished assembly then
I settled down with a buzz ot expectancy to
• wait the events.
I At five minutes of 12 (revised time) Door
keeper Bassett announced: “J he president
of the United Stales,’’ and Mr. Arthur, es
corted by Senators Ransom and Sherman
slowly walked to a seat assigned him with
the retiring cabinet, tho whole assemblage
rising to receive him.
At precisely 12 o’clock the president-elect
passed under the clock and halted,
whilst cheers rase on every side, and
a voice in the gallery with a strong Irish
tongue called lor three cheers for Cleve
land.
The chair again grimly and humorously
threatened to clear the galleries if applause
was indulged in.
He was escorted to a seat assigned him, and
Mr. Eumunds, rising, announced that the
vice president was present, and if convenient
to him he (Edmunds) would administer to
him the oath of office.
Mr. Hendricks advanced, and in an impress
ive maimur Mr. Edmunds administered the
oath of office to him. Mr. Edmundsaddressed
(.he senate in a few well-chosen words of 1 are
well as its presiding otfirer, taking to
say. however, that in view of the recent ex
perience, that it might he doubted whether
congress could congratulate itself on being the
best example of a legislative body by continu
ing its business with deliberation, cure and do
conim.
it v»as lue taulv oi large bodies that muas
ores of the greatest importance, requiring
much time for their proper consideration,
were brought under discussion so late tliat it
was not possible to deal with them with in
telligence, and consequently they were enacted
hastily into laws. Then in wai’m terms he
thanked the senate and its officers for their
and kindness and retired from the
chair.
The chaplain here offered a prayer of un
conscionable length at the close. ,i which Mr.
Hendricks delivered a lew opening remarks
in a voice which, though low, was clear and
au<lible. He said it was some years since he
was connected with the senate and would not
at first be so familiar with the rules as he
should be, and would have to lean upon the
indulgence of the senators. lie added that
the senate was now in session by virtue of
the proclamation of the president of the
United States, which the secretary read.
The chief clerk then read the proclamar
tion.
The vice president then called on the newly
elected senators, whose credentials were on
file, to advance four at a time and take the
oath.
This ceremony over, the vice president
called for the reading of the order of the in
auguration ceremonies, and the entire assem
bly adjourned to the central portico to wit
ness the liual ceremony, making Grover
Cleveland president of the United States.
It was witnessed by the majesty of the
American theory of government, and was the
simplest, yet grandest, quietest, yet most im
posing scene that records of the world can
show.
The chief ruler of a great nation resigned
his jxiwer, laid down his sceptre and returned
to private life without a murmur, or perhaps
a thought otherwise.
His successor immediately took up the reins
of authority as quietly as the sov
ereignty delegated him, by the voice
of his fellows, and such a scene
was never witnessed in any other country.
The spectacle was gram!. On an immense
platform built out from the central portico
literally parked with representative men in
front, stretching from the extreme northern
to extreme southern limits of the capitol
| building, and eastward irom the portico to
Fifth or Sixth street, and on the southeast
the crowd packed closely together, at least
150,000 people being there.
It was a sight the magnitude of which
never before was witnessed in Washington.
At half past 12 the president-elect, accom
panied by President Arthur, was escorted to
the platform by the committee on arrange
ments. When the immense throng of 150,00 C
people caught sight of him the air for sev
eral minutes was filled with the wildest
shouts.
At 12:85 the president-elect, at the sign
from Senator Sherman, arose and with un
co v»rnd hu»d began his inaugural address 't

CABINET GOSSIP.
rti® Gentlemen Who Will Aid Mr, Clev*-
Innd’s Administration.
I Washington, March 5. —Gossip on the
subject of the cabinet has died out. Tho
I test informed among the politic in ns ac jept
' the positive statements upon the subject and
' have stopped speculating. Some of tho
i Some of the lesser politicians still adhere to
tho view that Mr. Cleveland may make one
j or two changes towards the last.
There is, of course, criticism of the cabinet
is it is made, among the democrats. Tho ad
verse comment is not more than might, have
been expected. In the first plate it is gener-
I ally conceded upon all : ■. s that not a single
I one of the new cabint will go into their places
! with any trial of personal slander at their
| heels. This is regarded as the strongest feature
of tiie selections. The men who are to ad
minister tho government for the next four
years are men of clean records. Both sides
are disposed to treat them fairly and
to judge them by what they may do.
Every one is surprised that Mr. Bayard
should care to surrender the leadership of the
democratic party rn the senate and take his
chances for political fortune and preferment
with a new man and a comparative stranger
in a cabinet where it is more than suspect-ed
that there are at least two members who are
not in accord with him and where one mem
ber at least positively dislikes him. Mr.
Bayard goes into the cabinet from motives of
duty. He believes he can be of more service
there to his party, and that is enough for him.
Many of his associates believe, however, that
he is making a mistake.
Os Mr. Maiming, tho future secretary of the
treasury, it is said that his appointment will
lie in the uat are of an uxnerimeut. Tho post
is a great one, the leading one really of the
cabinet. Many democrats, while conceding
everything good that is claimed for Mr. Man
ning, say that it would have been safer and
wiser to have given the treasury portfolio to a
man of thorough experience and wide national
reputation. There is no objection to Mr.
Manning’s being in the cabinet, but it is
thought a conservative policy would have
placed him somewhere else.
There is very little criticism of the fact
that the cabinet officers are to be taken
from one state. There are so many prece
dents for this that custom disarms unfriendly
criticisms. The objeedtors to these ap|xiint
ments are from the western mon who arc
dissatisfied with the small representation
given them in the cabinet. Mr. Whitney,
who is to have charge of tho rebuilding of
the navy, has a good reputation among
public men. He is not known nationally,
but it is lielieved that he will do well.
The selection of Endicott from Massa
chusette for tho war department is re
girded as one for which no go<xl political rea
sons can ba given. Although be is a dem
ocrat, he owes his selection to the indepen
dents, who the democrats have understood
all along were to have no share in making
up the cabinet. He does not represent any
thing that is of interest or value to the
democratic party. It is conceded that he h
an able and upright man, but while Ohic
ami Indiana have been passed over without
recognition the appointment of Endicott it
therefore specially objectionable to tho West
ern element.
There is a good deal of disappointment over
the fact that Mr. Thurman could not havt
been put in the cabinet as the representative
of the great democratic voting populatJon oi
Ohio. It is still further a subject of regret
tliat the democratic state of Indiana should
have been left out in the cabinet calculations.
Mr. Lamar is favorably regarded as the sec
retary of the interior. He is regarded ns one
of the strongest men in the cabinet, who will t>e
especially wise in helping shape a strong ]x>l
icy. W ith a strong stall’ of active subordinate*
no one of standing questions that
he will administer his depart
ment well. He is the, sworn enemy of jobbers
and the influence of his character will do
much to plate this department u)x>n u good
footing.
Os Vilas for postmaster general alxiut the
same criticism is beard that is made when
Lndiuot . i. ' lit inec. If L. ucst. was t<
have only one man in the cabinet it if
thought that it should have been a man of
national reputation and one more representa
tive of the west than Vilas, who is far north
and is yet untried in public affairs.
There is no criiticism of Garland except frorr
extreme Bourbons, who say that Garland is t
federalist. Such criticism is very remoie
however, and does not amount to anythmj.
in the face of the general approval of hii
great abilities and upright character.
Upon the whole the cabinet stands well
The above represents the best criticism o1
Washington. It is criticism of a charactea
that will not endure long if the new adminis
tration goes ahead and does good work in it
management of public affairs.

TREASURES IN ALASKA.
The Undeveloped Mining Itaaoureea of Oa
Far Northern '1 erritory.
[Edwards EoboiUin Chicago News.]
It is too soon yet to say how much ore
Alaska has, but it u ccrtnir. the supply it
very large. Good leads have been discov
ered in various parts id'the c..untry, but
the mines now being worked are located
hear .luneau City, 100 miles northeast of
Sitka Juneau is a town of limited popu
lation, having not more than Ofly white
men all told, and is named in honor of a
man who was the tirst to first discover the
placer diggings, a tew miles inland, in
what is known as the basin The claims
there have y ielded in the last six years
some thousetuis of do Jars and made
-luneiiu ric.i. At presen they are nearly
abandoned, and the ex< itement of the
neiglib .rhooc is centered at Douglas, just
across the ba. from Juneau.
The large mine there is located within
fifty yards of the buy and was sold by its
discoverer, I n adwell, to a ban t rain isco
company, of which Senator Jones is the
ruling spirit. The new owners have lately
set up a 120 .stump mid, the largest in the
world, I believe, and have refused, so it is
said, .j; IG.UuO.i’OO for their property. The
ore is gold, hi Id in while quartz, is easily
milled, mid a; pears lo exist in unlimited
j quantities. Mh it the yield per ton is no
I one outside the owners knows. 1
am told. howe.er, every ton will
pay $5 and that there are millions
of I ms. A resident of Juneau is not
particular when giving figures. The
mid is run by water, and a steamer can lie
, loaded by an incline reaching from the
, mine to tin wharf. There is no winter to
i interfere with tbe work of mining, and
native Indian labor 1 cheap and abund-
■ ant. Many other properties have been
| opened on the island, but. from ack of
, capital, few of them have been developed
to any extent. The year 84 saw many
new mining men come into Alaska, and
in 'B6 th re will be still more. Prospect
ing is done at a great disadvantage, but
there still are leads that can be discovered.
Once the fact is known that Alaska has
ore there will be a rapid increase in tbe
population.
Anu here again the native Indian will
be utili ed. \n Alaska Indian is a good
worker Dirty and depraved as he is, he
is anxious to get employment. He likes
money. Those engaged In the Treadwell
mine are indefatigable laborers. So they
are in the salmon canneries that have been
started. Familiar with their country, they
know, if anybody does, where there is
any ore.
“If I had accepted the offer of an In
diun a few years ago. who said lie knew
of a lead. I should have been rich perhaps,
to-day, ” said a man whom 1 met at
W range).
“How did you fail?" I asked.
“Well, tried to beat tbe fellow down in
his price, and before be could meet me or
1 meet him be got upset in his canoe and
was drowned. ’
If a miner will pay fair wages he can
get good escort and run lair chances of
finding ore. Let a man however, try to
depend on himself and he will most likely
fail. Southern Alaska's soil is covered
with moss to a depth of n loot or more,
and prospecting as carried on in other
countries is out of the question. The
only way is to get an Indian who knows
the by-paths and the streams. By follow
ing him float irold may lie found —as it
olten has been—that will lead to the main
vein.
The Crazy Quilt Mania.
I Washing^-n Letter.)
Wives of public men in Washington
constantly receive letters from all parts of
tbe country a king for pieces of their
dresses or other articles of apparel; also
for neckties of their husbands, to be used
in making crazy quilts Mrs. i ogan is
more frequently asked for contributions
of this kind than any other lady in Wash
ington. aid she almost always complies
with the rc nest. It is said that she has
not a dre-.- mil lias ..cd been <:ii, peti for
this purpose. The general declares that
he finds it hard work to keep a necktie.
He does not complain, however, for he
enters fully into the spirit which prompts
his wife never to refuse such a request
when it can be granted. Cast-off dresses
and ties arc- scarce in the house of the
Logans. There are hundreds of quilts in
all parts ol the country specially prized
because th have a piece from one of
Mrs. Logan - dresses, or from one of the
general’s neckties.
Eastern and Western Clubs Contrasted.
New York Town Topics, in its “Club"
department, says: “I asked a brother
| club-man recently, who has just returned
1 from a western trip, if he noticed any es
sential difference between the club life of
the eastern and western cities. 'Well,' he
replied, ‘let me think. Their whisky is
better, as a rule; their restaurants are
greatly inferior; and when dining at the
I alumet chib in Chicago—which has one
of the hands onest clun buildings in the
country, by the way—l saw, out of sixty
men in the restaurant, only two in eveu
ing dress. I found the club at, Cheyenne
and those in ?-nn Francisco the nearest to
ours in the points of refinement in dress
and conversation of their members: and
this was due to the fa t that they contain
many eastern men.’ I fear my friend was
prejudiced in favor of the metropolis. ”
The Antiquity of the Itace.
[Exchange.]
A recent writer explode* the theory that
the human race is 50,000 years old by
i showing that when the present popula
tion of the world, 1,400,090.000, is taken,
I the known ratio of increase figured back-
I ward therefrom and the loss from pes-
■ tilence and wars taken into account it will
I readily be found that even the Genesis
' figure of ,000 years is entirely beyond
i the correct age of the human family .
Four thousand four hundred years he puts
down as the more probable time since
Adam first saw light in the Garden of
Eden.
Children's Spinal Iron bl os.
[Chicago Times.!
A physician connected with one of the
hospitals in New 5 ork where children re
ceivespecial attention, say; that many of

of how nurses and others handle, these lit-
I tie vehicles is one to which parents may
well pay attention.

How To Be Miserable.
Charles Kingsley says: “If you want
