MR.. CLEVELAND,s BIRTHPLACE.
A Description of the House In Which
He First saw Light.

From the Newark News.
The first lsoise that is seen in the little
village Of Caldwell approaching from
Montelair is situated on the leh-hand side
of the road. For years the old fashioned
house, with its quaint gable-ends and ivy
covered porch, has only attracted the at
tention Of the villagers as the parsonage
of the First Presbyterian Church, but
lately it has become Of more interest. 1t
is the birthplace of the Democratic candi-
date for President, Stephen Grover Cleve-
land. The Rev. C. T. Berry, the pastor
Of the Presbyterian Church, lives in the
old parsonage and thither the reporter
went. The house sets back from the
road about a hundred feet and two noble
ash trees stand like sentinels before it.
The grounds, which contain about two
acres, are well kept and the whole place
has an air of neatness and responsibility.
The house itself is a W story and a half,
with a front porch and low windows. The
front door opens into a spacious hall, and
the rooms On each side Of it are cosy and
comfortable. The ceilings are low. The
doors are very wide and the whole place
savorS of antiquity.
Il suppose l shall have numerous call
ers now, said Mr.. Berry, as he offered
the reporter a chair. This il the house
in which Governor Cleveland was born.
1t was first occupied by Stephen Grover,
a former pastor Of the church. In 1874
Mr.. Grover resigned the passionate and
Richard F. Cleveland was called on May
Is Of the same year. Nj. Cleveland had
many children, one Of whom, William N,
became a minister and went to Long Is
land. In the old church baptismal record
We find the record Of the birth and bap-
tzing Of the Democratic nominee, and
Mr.. Berry pointed to an entry which reads
as follows: stephen Grover Cleveland,
baptized July /, 1887 born March IS,
1887"
During his sixty years pastorate,"
said Mr.. Berry, Mr.. Cleveland's father
had a child baptized every year. When
Grover Cleveland was elected Governor of
New York | wrote and told him that l
had these interesting facts, and he sent
me a very graceful reply. Here is the
room in which Governor Cleveland was
born, and Mr.. Berry pushed open a door
and led the reporter into a room now used
as a library. The room was about fifteen
feet square, with two windows and a low
ceiling. An excellent steel engraving of
james G.. Blaine stood upon a table look
ing in the direction of the spot where his
opponent was born.

A MORE dreary and Go d-ionaken waste

A MORE dreary and God-ionsaken waste
of land than the so-called City Park, does
not exist within the city limits and GER
tainly nowhere desecrates the prairies sur
rounding. When the Park was projected
it was looked upon with expectant pride
by every resident of Cheyenne. While in
the nature of things it WINS not anticipated
that tn space would become empowered
with sh lde trees Immediately, it was rea-
sonable to suppose that it would become
30 in the course of time. On a Autograph
ic v ew of the city published about two
years ago the City Park looks like the
most fascinating retreat imaginable. The
trees are distributed around
with mathematical precision. They
are placed together in groups
or strung out in single file after some
unique but altogether artistic design.
Let those who have gloated over the pic
tured delights of that sketch take a stroll
to the City Park and weep. Ascence of
such utter desolation and woe cannot be
found outside of a Southern swamp.
The ground is a series of alter
nate humps and depressions. The
humps and depressions are rather
evenly divided, with the honors in favor
of the latter. The bitches are extraordinary
spectacles in this city Of extraordinary
bitches. All the walks are overgrown and
slimy looking. The grass looks ike no
no other grass on the face of the habit
able globe. 1t grows in spare punches
that look like tufts of thin hair in the
midst of bald patches on a human Uranium.
Everything is rank. Many of the shade
trees arehead beyond all hope. The APP
pearance of the whole Park, which might
in n few years become a perfect oasis, is
utterly discreditable to the city. We
commend the matter to the serious attent-
ton of the City Council.

From the Evans (Colo.) Journal.
We are credibly informed that on the
Fourth of July eighty-seven kegs of beer
left the Denver depot on the express car
of the Denver Psci6c road. OF these,
eight stopped at La Sale, four at Evans,
and seventy-fve at Greeley. These were
private orders, and Of course not within
the reach Of temperance ordinances, but
the rate Of distribution is Il very good
thermometer by which to measure the tenn
peranee degree of the above named
places.

why swinton Opposes Blaine.


This paper is against the election of
Blaine because, both in his own State and
in Congress. he has always shown himself
the adversary of the genuine American
principles here upheld-because he is the
representative of party false to the peo-
Piles rGhts-because he has played the
part Of a toady to monopoly and capital.
ism-because he was a mercenary in Com
gress-because he was a stock Spectator
and land grabber-because he is n hack
politician of the plundering school-be-
aus be has Haunted his scom Of the
working people, and because his election
would be a new triumph for the system of
organized ~brigandage that is wrecking the
country.
1t is because Blaine represents Jay
Gouldism that Jay Gould supports Blaine
ism. These twain arc one 1esh.-John

aiterward, on October ., lss1, Moses was
nrtr~sat In New York, charged with person
sting n lawyer and using his personality us a
means to obtain the sum OF S25 from
Maj. William L. Hill He wis re-
leased on bail. Soon after being released,
Moses went 70 the agent Of AN ocean steam
ship company in Now York, and toll him
that "a movement was on foot TO blow up one
OF the vessels OF that companyis line. He
pretended to he possessed OF information by
which he could thyart the conspirators and
procure their arrest and punishment. Tbs
agent was 50 much impressed by the mans
story that he gave him money and promise
Of a liberal reward. When it was discovered
that Moses was u fraud the steamship com
pany refused TO prosecute him, and lac escaped
arrest On hat charge. In the latter part OF
March, 1882, Moses called upon Freeborn @.
Smith, n piano manufacturer in New York.
and, representing himself as u brother of
Governor Colquitt, Of Georgia, got Mr.. Smith
10 cish n check, which afterward proved
worthless, for SI75.

When arrested on this charge be was lden-
tlfed hy Il. W. Crowell OF the Phoenix In,
surance company of New York us h man
who, on February 10, 1852, had represented
Himself us q member OF the White family OF
Groenville, South Carolina, with whom Mr..
Crowell was very well acquainted. IL was
after banking hours and Moses, saying that
he WINS short of money, got Mr.. CTowell 10
cash n bogus check for $50. Two weeks
afterward he swindled II. II. Stuart, Of 81
Wall street, New York, out Of 500 on a
worthless check and the representation that
he was Gen. Curtis, state commissioner OF
South Carolina. b. II. Hasell, agent In this
city for the Charleston Steamship company
Mt this time sent a letter to Inspector Byrpes,
saying TINT the swindler had been in Boston
also. A worthless check for $500 had been
cashed by Mr.. Hasell, who was under tho inn
preston TINT Moses was a wealthy south
en planter. Moses also went to a
member of the firm OF W. Il. Grace s. Co,
and endeavored to pass himself off as Mr..
Prince, OF Lynn, Mass, and nearly succeeded
in getting II check cashed. Mr.. Flint, the
partner, sent a telegram TO Lynn, and the re-
ply proved that the Mr.. Prince, aims Moses,
was a fraud, and he was hustled out Of the
Office. Moses Is a most accomplished swindler.
The men to whom be has applied for money
with success have been well Iersed in busk
ness matters, and most of them hayo Ieputa-
lions for sagacity in their dealings with
others. To swindle such men requires some
thing more than ordinary talent for rogucry.

TIE New York Herald has published
some very close calculations as to the pos
sible result of the deliberations of the Re-
publican Convention at Chicago, from
which we learn that there is disposition
TO count out both Blaine and Logan from
the list, but they are too strong for this
treatment, as leading Republican shows
in the course OF an interview. He says:
'fThe convention under the new rule will
not go by solid State delegations; num-
Der OF men will be voted for at first,
and / Judge it may be slower body to
come TO a conclusion than the last. Ar
thur will have more strength than many
people now give him, Blaine, who set
out With 2S4 votes in 1880, will not have
over 23O this time, as l calculate. Ed
munds sill be much stronger this time
than he WAS in 1880. Sherman, who hung
st ninety-one votes that year for long
time, and never got above lis, think,
may turn up stronger this time. At the
beginning, though, ! think it uncertain.
l should think that when Logan is
abandoned by Illinois, Lincoln viii make
a good appearance. If Sherman should
withdraw IN favor of Bisine, and say that
Blaine could carry Ohio, that would nom
mate Blaine. But 1 don't believe sher-
man will do that"

Mention has been made in this CORE
spondence of the large pro,'ts of the Ely

that even this will be beaten this year. A

Pursuant to previous announcement a
very largely attended meeting OF the
membership OF the Cotton Exchange was
held yesterday afternoon, at which Presi-
dent @. P. Hunt presided.
The president explained that the meet
ing had been called for the purpose of en-
tightening the membership as to the true
status of the new Cotton Exchange build
ing, and to discuss proper measures for
the furtherance OF the work. The delay,
he explained, was due to difficulties met
with in obtaining charter for the organi-

provision had been made by the State

of that character, but that movement is
on foot to make such provision at the next
meeting of that body.
President Hunt also announced that the
building bonds had been received from
the printer, in denominations of 500 and
$1,000, and were ready to be disposed of to
those wishing to subscribe. They are good
investments, secured by the property and
building, and bearing six per cent. per an
nun interest. 1t was desirable that the
bonds should all be taken in the city, and
he earnestly hoped it would not be nee
essary to send them away to be negotiated
for money with which to construct the
building. He stated that whenever the
amount of S25, 900 was subscribed the con-
tractors would at once be authorized to
proceed with the work of construction
The president concluded by opening the

THE Sanitary Council of the Mississippi
Valley will meet tomorrow in annual ses-
sion for the purpose of considering the
plans, purposes and policies to be pur-
sued the coming summer to prevent the
introduction or spread OF epidemic dis
eases, particularly yellow-feyer, and to ex-
change the notes and views Of members
touching preventable diseases and sani-
tary matters generally. The council is
sure of a very hearty reception at the
hands of the citizens Of Memphis and
her officials. No city in the country
has so much profted by sanitary work as
this has within the past five years, and no
other people more than this appreciates
the value of such work. AS from the En-
glsh hospitals at scuiari, under the super
intendence of the sainted Miss Nightingale,
modern sanitation in Europe dates its rise
and advance, so from Memphis in 1879 il
received its greatest impetus in this coun-
try. Here it effected, thanks to the efforts
OF a persistent few, its greatest triumph
and most complete revolution. Memphis,
then, will welcome the sanitarians OF the
Mississippi Valley with peculiar pride
and will in the future, as in the past,
gladly cooperate with them in advancing
the interests OF q science the most impor-
tant to the human race.
