The tomb of the man yTed President Gar

which visitors to Cleveland are daily inquir-
ing the way, and q shrine before which
tourists Of many nations, and persons Of
every shade of political preference are rev
erently quiet. A six miles ride from the

from which its distances are computed In
circles Of miles and halfmiles, leads one
through most delightful portion of the
city, showing not so much its work-a-day
aspect, its business importance aud the ex-
tent Of its industries, as the superior ele-
gance and taste of its wealthier homes.
Now that Euclid avenue has q new sew
er in process of construction, the road-bed
at the same time being widened five feet
on either side, and new pavement having
also to be laid, it is so badly torn up that
from Giddings Avenue to Fairmount St., q
distance of one and half miles, the bars
are up preventing any kind of travel, ex-
cept by street car. A double track for the
street cars and the widened roadway is
completed from the station to Giddings Av-
enue- But the dweIlers in palatial homes
far out on the avenue, must patronize the
democratic and always crowded street car
and take their chances Of seat among the
common people. One Of the former, not
complainingly at all, remarked the useless
ness of horses and carriages while this
state of the road exists, the positive danger
of trying to get through with private con-
veyance wherever these Improvements
were going ON, and the probability of it be-

The man f-om Kalamazoo, who struck
up friendly acquaintance with the Cleve-

be frequently interrupted and corrected by
his boy on the otner hand, and command
ed the woman's entire confidence by chanc-
ing to know q cousin Of hers, who had en-
igrated to Michigan some years before. AT
ter telling his own history he listened SYM
pathetically to hers, and that of her rela-
tions, and agreed with her that her cousin
had been both fortunate and unfortunate in
his three matrimonial ventures. It was
comforting to have the story end well, and
TO know that If the second marriage had MOI
been mutually felicitous the third had been
in every way profitable. The fact that hel
husband had often talked of having his life
insured, buthad not got about it to do it, wa.
dwelt upon with pathos that would have
brought tears to the eyes of an Insurance.

sity of supporting an old mother and i've
children, giving their ages, telling the in
firmities of each and the pecuniary value
of the older ones; also what she had dons
and how she had succeeded, was as unbes

car-driver to set him down at q crossing,
