INTERVIEWING THE PREsIDENT.-Joa-
quin Miller writes to the Chicago Times: +:
President Cleveland is plain man, almost
homely. He never could haye been good
looking at best, and now that he is very
bald and no longer young there is no beauty
| of form or face to speak Of Of course he is
different figure and form to that of Lin
he is as plain as ever Mr.. Lincoln was in his
way and fully as awkward. He is short
man comparatively and his hands are sim
ply huge. The complexion of his face is
coarse and sallow. But his eye is keen
and clear. He does not stare at you, but
he takes you in at a glance with sudden
precision, and you feel that he sees through
you and understands you in that one glance
from your boot-solea up to the last strangling
hair on the top of your head. He has
tremendously strong face; it is simply pow
erful. 1t is face that says imperiiously
and instantly, "No foolishness," and you
it. Here is my first interview, which |
dotted down few minutes after: "Mr.
President, I'LL want Capt. Hoxie to be
returned to Washington so as to complete
our water-Works."
"Capt. HoXie," answered the President
instantly, ''is subject to the orders of the
Secretary of War;" and he looked at me AS
if to say; "And you know it," Yes, knew
I had come to the wrong place and was bor-
ing the President and was bothering him for
nothing, much as had the matter at heart.
So l gave up that subject and started on
another equally as important.
"Mr. President, one thing more &; hear
you are going to remove Commissioner
Edmunds, the head of our commissioners
for Washington, and IL"
The President looked hard at me and said
promptly: "You have heard that % "Well,
I have not heard of it, and as will have
to hear of it before he is removed you can
rest easy on that score for the present"
By this time l felt that had not the
slightest business with the President and
fell in with the band of shorn sheep that
was passing on and out of the corral by
another door. l doubt if any of us felt
quite as big as when we went in. / had one
conviction, however, lodged very solidly
in my mind, and it was to the effect that
from the concise and swift way in which he
disposed of me and those who went in with
me there is not going to be much foolish
ness about the White House while he is
there. This man Grover Cleveland-and
he gives you the impression that he does not
care whether or no-is President of every
inch Of these United States. And venture
to write it down as one Of my very few
prophecies that he will he President Of
these United States for seven years and
quarter to come.

INCREASE OF ILLICIT DIST1LLING.-Ihe
Commissioners of Internal Revenue cOntin-
ue to receive advices of the increase of illic-
it distilling and forcible resistance to law in
the States of Georgia and Tennessee. The
peculiar feature of the matter is that the
trouble now originates in counties which
have heretofore been eXemptfrom such dis
turbances. In Georgia, for instance, illicit
stills have recently been captured and des-
troyed in the lumber region, where these
practices were not heretofore known. An
impression seems to have been spread about
that with the change Of administration
there would come a relaxation in the en-
forcement of the revenue laws, and the
discovery, now made that the officers ap-
pointed by President Cleveland are vigilant
in seeing that the laws are obeyed, has
brought about turbulence, which 1T Will re-
quire considerable display of force and
large expenditure of money to repress.
MAcHINE-MADE Boxes" About ten
years ago." said the old man "there was no
such thing as machne-made box. Nova
DAYS, in some trades, there is no such thing
as a handmade box. Formerly the knock
ing together of small boxes for soap, oil, etc.,
was trade by itself, at which nearly 500
men in this city made fair wages. The
wood was cut out by machinery, and the
workmen nailed the pieces together.
"About 1874 some man improved consid-
erably upon machine, which hammered
in at one blow all the nails on one side of a
box. Since then improvement has follow
ed improvement, until now you pour keg
of nails in at the top of the machine, and a
boy feeds the wood in at the bottom. All
the boy does is to put in the right pieces
and in proper order, the machine doing the
rl~c oil
fast that the men have been driven out of
the business by boys, the price for such
work having dwindled until no man can
suppOrt himself at it,"

SANDS OF EGYPT.-More than 10000
fragments of ancient records have been dug
up from the sands of Egypt, where they
have rested embalmed during nine centu-
ries, not very much the worse for their in
terment. The history of these venerable
documents is remarkable. Professor Kara
bacek supposes that they must at one time
have formed part Of the public archives ,s Of
archives perished in a great conhagration,
such as destroyed the great library at Alex
