Works, of Alexandria. arrived here to day

works referred to, that the prophet ors

neither create demand for ships or for
iron there is no use nor sense in making
either. He says the present proprietors
had great deal of trouble in getting the
works out Of debt and in condition to com-
meuce unobstructed operations, but that just
as that difficult work had been accomplish
ed the prevailing business depression came
on, and that that necessitated the existing
delay. He says the company has no idea of
of abandoning the works, but that on the
contrary they are only waiting for the re-
vival of business TO start them and to give
employment To large number of bands.

you will not deem it affectation on my part

sent TO me, some of them, doubtless, from
those who seek in this manner TO show their
good will, while others have been received
from those whom I suspect of attempting
purely TO procure an acknowledgment 1t

hibition of churlishness or lack of appreca-
ton, and my disposition is to humor the de-
sire of the others. The acceptance of pres
ents of value which could involve an obi

entirely uadmissible, and confess should
feel better if all gifts of every description
were discontinued. have determined to
assure you most heartily of my full appreci-
alton of your kindness in sending me the
dog, and that do not at all mistrust your
motive In doing so, and while thanking YOU
for the friendliness which prompted the gift
ask you TO permit me 10 return The same.
| shall please myself and hope not offend
you by sending the dog by ex press to your
address to morrow. at my expense. Yours,
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
