cLEvELAND,s NEWEST GIRL.
He Gives Young Lady GOld-Headed Cane
and Starts the Gossips' Tongues.

Albany Special
AS the name of President Arthur, rightly or
wrongly, has been frequently coupled with that
of Miss Frelinghuysen, so is the name of Gov
ernor Cleveland now being coupled with that Of
Miss Annie Van Vechten. The rumor was cir
culated to day that the beautiful Albanian has
recently received from the President-elect q
gold-headed cane, bearing this inscription:
United we stand. divided we fall" Whether
the words have any significance, or are merely
Pickwickian in their import time alone can
show Perhaps in the words of Mr.. Tootst
when his inamorata declined to marry him. Its
of no consequence" although wiseacres shake
their heads over the matter, and say that com
ing events cast their shadows before" 1t is con-
ceded by all the members Of the rumor commit
tee that there can be question as to his giving
the gold headed stick, while clearing out largo
stock of them previous to going into another
business Several other ladies appear also To
have had canes presented to them. The follow
ing seems to be the history, far as can be def
nitely ascertained. of the presentation of the
stick to Miss Van Vechten: One afternoon Miss
Van Vechten Mrs. John o. L. Pruyn, widow,
daughter of Amasa J. Parker, and sister of Mrs
Erastus Corning, and several other ladies' were
at the executive mansion. Miss Van Vechten
said: Governor, what are you going to do with
those canesl You might give them to your
lady friends for umbrella handles"
Certainly" said the Governor, with ready
good nature "Hep yourselves ladies' The
ladies took instant advantage of the permissions
and soon the entire collection, numbering nearly
fifty, had changed hands, Miss Van Vechten APP
propriating the one bearing the very significant
inscription above quoted. Miss Van Vechten,
it may be remembered, attended the perform
anee in aid of the dramatic fund in this city, in
company with the Governor and large party

Cleveland Talks Plainly to the Ohio Editor
He Goes Home Swearing.
Albany Special in Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
1t seems that John r. Mclean, editor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, did not have an agreeable
quarter of an hour when he called upon Presl-
dent-elect Cleveland last Sunday. There were
certain incidents of the late political campaign
that would lead people to suspect that the prize
pig would not be killed for him by Mr.. Cleve-
land, but Mr. Mclean apparently had no mis-
givings concerning his visit. He knew that he
had cast a majority of the votes of the Ohio
delegation for Cleveland at the National Demo-
cratic Convention. That action had removed
practically from the list of presidential candi-
dates one of Mr.. Cleveland's rivals, Allen g.
Thurman. Yet there were men in Albany who
could have told Mr.. Mclean that there was moth
ing in the campaign which so aroused Mr.. Cleve-
lands anger as 'Gaths" articles in the Cincin-
natl Enquirer assailing him. That they should
appear in the leading Democratic newspaper OF
Ohio was, of course, an additional aggravation.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends vainly strove to prevent
the publication of the articles, Mr. Mclean say
ing that he had 10000 Republican readers, for
whom they were intended. Then came the Cleve-
land scandal Full particulars of it were given by
the Enquirer MIR. Cleveland was astounded. He
could not speak of the Enquirer afterward except
in terms of wrath. His friends say that he is
man of forgiving nature, but that in this
case he feels that he cannot condone the offense.
Mr. Mclean is said to have been received with
politeness by the Governor, and to have been
treated with consdera ton till he preferred some
advice concerning the Cabinet Then the Gov
ernor is reported to have said bluntly that his
advice was not desired, and to have expressed
frankly his opinion of Mr.. McLeans course in
the campaign. Mr.. Cleveland, it is said was
cold in manner, but decidedly candid in his talk.
The interview has not since appeared in the I'm
Quirer Shortly after its termination Mr. Nc
Lean emerged from the executive mansion in a
highly heated condition While travelling to
New York, subsequently, his talk plainly showed
that he considered himself on the swearing
train"

THE Philadelphia Times objects to the church
spire on the ground of the danger of it topping
over in case of a storm. 1t thinks "that spires
should be built at all is something that might be
difficult to explain. They are not handsome.
The square, solid tower is much better in every
way. 1t can be made enthusiastically pleasing,
and it has a substantial appearance whichinvites
confidence. A wellfnished stone tower is not a
constant menace to its surroundings" If spires
were less numerous than they are, they would
doubtless be more greatly admired, for proper
ly proportional spire is undoubtedly beautiful
thing to contemplate. There is grace and
airiness about it that the tower can not rival.
Take the lono spire at Strasburg, the twin
spires at Cologne-they certainly are marvels of
stately beauty. The danger Of spire topping
over is remote.

MINOR MENTION.

ANOTHER Darius Green" has come to grief
with his flying machine. His name isn't Green
this time, although his actions are, but he is
known as Zephaniah Phelps, is seventy five
years DID, and lives in Connecticut, if he sur
wives at the present writing. He had worked on
his machine for many years without producing
entirely satisfactory results, but last week the
apparatus seemed to be perfect in every part and
he proceeded to try it. There is a tower IN his
neighborhood one hundred feet tall It is built
on the top of high hill and seemed to the aged
but ambitious and aspiring Zephaniah a suitable
place in which to put the invention to the test
With much toll he carried the machine to the
top of the tower, expecting to be fully repaid
for his labors by the joy of subsequently
Tapping his wings in triumph over the
houses Of his soothing neighbors. With
entire confidence he arranged the machine,
set the gas generator in motion, seated himself
and launched into space. He arose for few
feet and then, from some mysterious reason
the valves failed to work; something seemed to
give way, and he began to descend The tri-
angular wings checked the velocity of the de-
scent somewhat, but he came down the side of
the mountain with considerable speed for sew
er1l hundred feet, when the machinery caught
in tree-top. and poor zephaniah fell to the
ground, breaking his leg and otherwise injuring
himself. The chances are now that he will
take no more aerial flights until he goes as an
angel.

MAJOR RENO. who was dismissed from the
regular army year or two ago for conduct unbe-
coming an officer and gentleman, is trying to te
reinstated. He is said to be a Jolly good fellow,
and very popular with his acquaintance, among
whom are numbered many congressman and gov
eminent officials so that his restoration is looked
upon as quite likely to occur Major Reno's Of
Tense was that Of insulting the wife of brother
officer; but it is probable that the authorities
will hold that such good fellow has been pun
ished enough especially if they are equally jolly
fellows themselves. 1t may be remarked IN this
connection, however, that Queen Victoria is an
other kind of person since she persistently re-
fuses to restore Colonel Baker, of the English
army, to the position from which he was re-
moved for similar disgraceful conduct Major
Reno may be thankful that he has no such stern
moralists to deal with, but it may happen that
others, who are interested in army affairs will
not be equally rejoiced.

THERE is an unpublished legend to the effect
that on the one evening passed at Craigenput-
took by Emerson. in 1888, Carlyle gave him a
pipe, and taking himself the two sat silent
until midnight and then parted, shaking hands
with congratulations on the pleasant evening
they had passed Current Paragraph.
That this legend has small foundation in fact
no one can doubt who has read Carlyle's Life
and Letters and the various "reminiscences of his
friends concerning him The unavoidable and
overwhelming impression gathered from these is
that the Scotch philosopher was gifted, not only
With wealth of ideas, but with such facility of
tongue that to be denied utterance on any oc-
casion was the cause of positive suffering to him.
A voluntary silence of several hours is not to be
thought of in his connection. Emerson may
reasonably be thought to have remained speech
less. but not Carlyle, unless he we're asleep or
out of breath.

ONE of the best things in the recently pub
lished volume of Concord Essays on Emerson
is an anecdote of Washington, told by Rev. DR..
Bartol, to this effect: "That on certain occa-
sion, when the Father of his Country was en-
gagged in private devotion, he was interrupted
by knock at the door OF the room. Paying no
attention to it, the interruption was vigorously
repeated; and then, wrath getting the better of
piety, Washington rose from his knees, drew
his sword and drove it through the panel, mar
rowly missing the astonished intruder. "
Whether prayer was resumed afterward, is not
stated.

One of the most remarkable phases
of the character of Wendell Phillips
was his GOODNESS and self-possession
under the most trying circumstances.
He was always thoroughly master of
himself. An exchange says Of him /:
"He WAS the great orator of the anti
slavery cause. La the stormiest period
of the abolition movement, when anti
slavery speakers were Missed by the
populace, when rotton eggs were hurl-
ed at them, when mobs threatened and
sometimes assailed them, he never
quailed nor lost bis presence of mind.
He was no ranter. In the tempest
and whirlwind Of passion, with furi-
Gus mob responding to every sentence
with a storm of Kisses and Opprobrious
epithets. ne kept magnifcently calm
and if he dashed his antagonists as
with whip of scorpions, launching
upon them his scOrn and defiance, he
did it like a gentleman"
