c.tb,s Portrait of Cleveland.

He is portly man of 46, the youngest fres- ident-elect, they say, but Grant. Grant was not quite 47 when inaugurated. Cleveland mas an erect, solid carriage, slow movements, with little of the mule or a tiger lying back in him, so that you want to keep clear or both his teeth and his heels. He smiles, but with some preoccupation and guard. lie
 Jokes, but sententiously, like an executive
 joker. I thought I could see the sheriff who
 had to distrain and the mayor who meant to
 expose city council in job all the way
 through It may be that the great majority
 of the American people can live on stern
 honesty and nothing else for four years, but
 I always found venison dry at the end of
 that period of time and wanted & change.
 For A while the prevailing suspicion that everybody wants to steal around the govern ment will make it refreshing to have severe. lv honest magistrate there; yet the race oI supreme power should be kind and parental harsh father who would rather wear out the rod than spoil the child is considered in private circles an unhanged murderer. The oovernor wears black clothes, not very new, has brown hair, never on the blacklsh tlno, he has skin healthy but not dellcate, ana ms eyes are cold blue, not open, the eyehds CLOS ino them well in and his deliberate manner
 
 his expression when he looks at one partlcu- Iarly. He is bald over the top of his head, a | place as big as the palm of your hand. None of his features are fine; all are strong and solid. His nose is Judaic rather than Roman, large. unsensitive, thick, deep. The magls- l trate is everywhere-the sitting maglstrate, l who iokes with the tip-staves and gives the prisoner term grimly and with little jerk | which breaks the courage and completes the ] dreadness of the penalty.
 | ''He is a good fellow" says Jimmy oilVer' ! the assembl lyman, 'but he's awfully hard headed Said another who knew him crltl-
 call and well, yet honestly: 'Thls man 11s IS | honest, firm, hard, not proud nor inc. he | ia a painstaking executive and is not practl- cally ambitious. He does not grasp pubic ! questions finely, but contented with nfe as it comes He would not take position nc did not believe to win an election. Yet ne ! is nobody's hero. Work he will give fairly for his salary; but he has not legislative 1 mind and the subjects of legislation he thinks the mos. of are those of executive business. He will probably leave policy te his ministers and be vigilant over his once holders" Cleveland has keen, modest perhaps astute, secretary in Lamont. Las

Village Life in Honduras.

ICorrespondence of the New York Tlmes.l
 Scattered along the Hondurian coast' north of Truxillo, are many little villages where few half-breed Indians, and perhaps for eigner of lighter color, make their homes' and where the former gain meager subsls- tence from small fruit plantations. You cannot see these villages as you pass along the beach on shipboard, and the whole coun- try looks like one vast wilderness of green. In the middle of the day not sign or indus try nor of habitation is evident, but toward night, when the sun is hiding behind the high mountains that form rich background to the green below, scores of canoes or dor1es will be seen putting forth from the shore. Each one will be filled with fruit. In the stern. the owner of the few punches of ba- nanas sits guiding with his paddle the light craft. dexterously steering it through the rollers and fetching his bananas dry to the ships side. In the bow sits his wife or son, who bends the paddle with strong arm
 Throwing the punches upon the ships deck he hauls himself up, receives his money for the cargo he has brought, drinks with unre- faxed features a glass of whiskey or wine

Decision An ROHsNAS
 Suit.
 The Supreme court has decided 1n favor or the defendants in the case of the New York and New England Railroad company vs. New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road company. It will be remembered that this suit was brought by the New. England road against the Consolidated road for the recovery of a strip of land now occupied py the latter road and lying between Elm ana Main streets and for nearly $5O,OOO rentals and damages; that it was tried before George M. Woodruff, Esq, railroad commissioner as l committee; was argued last June before the Supreme court, which ordered rehear1ng, ! which was had in November. Beside the large amount at stake the case was of vital i'm portance to the Consolidated road, involving l as it did it's right to enter the city beyond Elm street to the present depot and the shopi ! above and fairly bristled with all sorts o1 ! technicalities for the decision of which tn, opinion in the case will be watched wlti interest by many. As it was understood I that the commissioners were ready to Ill their decision as to the location of the neV depot on learning the result of this suit, tn
 settlement of that vexed question may be ex
 pected any day. H. O.. Robinson and F. L Hungerford appeared for the defendants an' S. E. Baldwin for the plaintiff.
