VOL. X. INAUGURATED. Grover Cleveland Takes the 0.'.tl of Office as President. ADDRESS AND REVIEW. SCENES IN THE SENATE CHAMBER AND ON THE EAST PORTICO. MB. HENDRICKS SWORN IN. The City Wild With Excitement of Joy, ’Mid Flag*. Flowers, Festoons, and Gay Bunting—Two Hundred Thous 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 Cmcag ■ iu:raiJ.j < apt.

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. Defaulting Mayor Wanted Home. Lansing, Mich., March s.—Gov. Alger hai issued a requisition on the governor of Txjuisi ana for the arrest and return of Tom Navin ex-mayor of Adrian.

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 the cases of spinal trouble brought to his notice are the direct result of tin- careless handling of baby carriages. The matter of how nurses and others handle, these lit- I tie vehicles is one to which parents may well pay attention. Bennett* m Ice Machine. ■ James Gordon Bennett’s yacht Namouna has been proviked with a dense-air ma chine, which is able to produce 1,000 pounds of ice per day. Yet it is so com pact that it occupies a space only seven feet long, four wide, and four high How To Be Miserable. Charles Kingsley says: “If you want to be miserable, think about yours 1, about what you want, what you liae, what respect people ought to pay to you and what people think of you. ” It is said that Weston, the walker, found chewing coca leaves a great assistance in sustaining fatigue.
