hand while few had their visiting
clothes in a good-sized band box.
Talkative individuals related their
experiences of past inaugurations. An
old, white-haired man, with beard as
long as Rip Van Wrinkles, entertained
many with his account of the burning
of the capitol by the British in 1914.
He said he was 90 years old and was
from one of the first families of Vir-
ginia. "Little did l think" he re-
marked, "when / saw that building
that I would live to see Grover Cleve-
land inaugurated in 1885,"
On the east steps at the House side
of the capitol 800 or 400 people had
seated themselves; a few of the early
birds had reserved choice positions at
6 O'Clock, and had held them with
chairs which they had brought from
their own homes.
It had been expected that the dis
tinguished occupants would ascend
the steps and enter the building on the
main floor. When, however, it was
discovered that they would enter
through the basement passage-way,
there was a rush in that direction.
But in a moment the President and
President-elect, the senators who
had accompanied them in their
carriage, and the Vice-President-elect
and his companion, were within
the building. The doors were closed.
Mr. Cleveland, ON the arm of Senator
Sherman, went to the entrance of the
Senate chamber. and proceeded imme-
diately to the vice-president's room.
President Arthur went to the presi-
dents room, where his cabinet was as
sembled, and where he engaged himself
! in signing measures which Congress
was rushing through the legislative
balls. = ..

een. GRANT uhoga GUARD. !
A stan omesr Tells OF tho Time When
the General Was Late for breakfast. 4
New York Tribune.1


A retired army officer who was Oh
Gen. Grants personal staff during tho
war, speaking the other day of Gen.
Badeau's article in The Century, said:
"Badeau has made one mistake. He
says Gen. Grant was in danger Of assas-
sination during the last year of the
war, while his headquarters were at City
Point, and that his personal staff formed
a plan to protect him, one of them sitting
up every night as special guard. Now,
there wasn't one OF his staff who
wouldn't have guarded Gen. Grant at
the risk of his own life il necessary.
But there was no danger al City
Point. Nobody thought OF it there. There
never was but one time and place when
We did think the presence Of our troops
was not a sufficient protection, OF that
he could add TO his safety by making
ourselves his personal guard. That was
at Culpepper, before going to the Wilder
ness. The rooms Of the house we occupied
were so situated that Gen. Grants room
was somewhat isolated, and we thought
that in spite of the guard outside it was
possible for an enemy to get to his room
unobserved. We took in the situation
and decided to placea sentry before Gen.
Grants door at night, after he had re-
tired. This was done without saving
anything To the. general, who himself
had no fears, and had thought nothing
about II.
But he got even with us for keeping
him out of the secret. The first morn
ing after the sentry had paced back and
forth all night before his door. the gen

Rawlings who finally said he'd go to the
generals room and see what was the
matter. Well, Rawlings went up, and
found Gen. Grant all dressed and sitting
quietly in his room.
"'Why, general, breakfast has been
ready some time, said Rawlings.
" We'll, replied Gen. Grant, with per-
feet seriousness, a sentry has been.

"Of course, Gen. Rawlings appre-
ciated the joke, and when they came.
down together they pretended to be as.
serious as the general, who, with dry
humor, said: Gentlemen, l am sorry to
have kept you waiting, but a sentry has
been pacing before my door all night,
and as l thought l was under arrest /
couldn't come down till released For
an instant there was a queer, puzzled
look on every face, and then we all burst
out laughing. He didn't share our
fears, but let us have our way. Every
night while at C%ulpepper an armed
sentry paced before Gen. Grants door,

How the Gar Travels.

l was allowed to visit the imperial
train after the emperors had reached
Kremsier, and it was really worth a visit,
for such a magnificent train was prob
ably never formed before. 1t contained
bedrooms, bathrooms, and dining
rooms, besides saloons and boudoirs, and
all these were furnished with wonderful
luxury. The room of the two young
princes-for it was a regular room-was
upholstered in violet leather of a new
and lovely shade. Everywhere were
easy chairs and the softest of sofas. In
the emperor's private saloon was IN ikon
with a lamp burning before it, and on
the table lay the newspapers which his
majesty had been reading.
There was not a Russian paper among
them. They were The Kreuz Zeitung,
of Berlin, four Danish papers, and The
Paris Figaro. In all the saloons, both
of the emperor and his suite, there were
card tables, and the suite had evidently
been playing hard, judging by the packs
of cards strewn about. All the stations
through which the car passed on his
way from the frontier were closed to the
public. The station at Kremsier has q
placard on the door with the words
CLOSED during alterations. Cor. New

1t is claimed by a writer that one and
one-tourth more money is expend an
nually on funerals in the United States
than is expended for public school pur
poses, and more than the combined gold
and silver yield Of the country in the
year 1880. This does moi include the
cost of cemetery lots and burial fees.
While it is quite natural to reverence the
dead, it is certainly unnecessary to make
extrayagant expenditures in their behalf.
Many poor families cripple themselves
for months in order to make a last show
Of respect for the departed.

The chemist of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington has discovered
a means of distinguishing o~leomargarine
from butter. When boiled for a few Sec
onds pure butter will reveal, under a
microscope and in ~polarized light, a we'll
defined cross on each globule, whereas
the globules of beef fat and lard are of
different form, and do not rotate with
the movement Of the polarized light as
those of real butter do. This informa-
ton is given to jewellers in boarding
houses for what is worth, with the sug-
gestion that no butter eater is entirely
safe without a microscope and polarized
light at his elbow.

IRISH PARLIAMENTARY PLANS.
Hard Fight to be Made for Seats by
the NationalistE.

NEW YORK, June 5.-LThe New York
Tablet will publish ON Sunday next the
following Irish Parliamentary pro-
gramme: A Dublin correspondent informs
us that Mr.. Parnell will probably serve
in Parliament after the next general
election as member from the London dis
trict, IN which the Irish vote predomin-
ates. Justin Mccarthy will probably
represent the Irish district in Liverpool,
and j. p. 0'Conner Is likely to
be sent to Parliament by the
Glasgow district. Meanwhile Mr..
Parnell Is busily engaged with the peo-
pie Of Ireland selecting candidates for the
various districts. Mr.. Biggar. the Red
monds and other members Will be can
didates in the north of Ireland and in
other districts which are considered
doubtful. Districts which have an over
whelming or even safe Nationalist msiori-
ty will take for candidates new men, who
must he called in public life in eonse-
quence of the increased national power,
which results from the late acts extend
ing the franchise and assigning represen-
tati0n to the districts in lieu Of the rot
ten borough system.
THE wHlRL1GIG OF TIME.
IL will be exceedingly significant il tho
Glasgow shall In the whirligig OF time
lind themselves able to give their brothers
at home the strength necessary TO vote in
or vote out an English Minister. Even
the English may see that their misgov-
ernment OF England IL Improbable as
we'll as infamous. The English legislated
to destroy Irish commerce and industry:
why shall the Irish hesitate 10 destroy
English commerce, and by frequent
ministerial changes make insecurity
prevail in the financial, commercial
and manufacturing centres of England3
Surely not because they represent dis
tricts in England or Scotland. An ex-
ample has been given to them by men
who professed to be representatives of
Irish districts while they were killing
Irish business and strangling Irish
liberty.
THE CABINETS DISCUSSION.
The Cabinet to-day discussed Irish coer-
cion for two hours, but failed to reach an
agreement. Earl Spencer, in an interview
with Premier Gladstone yesterday, stated
that the irreducible minimum of
coercion he considered indispensable
for governing Ireland. He showed
by his absence from the Council
to-day that he was determined that there
should be no compromise. A majority Of
the Cabinet support Earl Spencer. Pre-
mier Gladstone, anxious that there shall
be no disruption in the face of the general
election, asked Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir
Dixie to accede 70 Earl Spencer's full de-
mands for one year. The council vas
adjourned until Tuesday. The excitement
IN ministerial circles over the orleIs is
intense. IL Ia said that Sir Charles Dixie
and Mr.. Chamberlain intend TO resign.

ROBERTS TO GO NORTH.
GOVERNOR M'DANIEL SURE TO
GRANT THE PETITION.

The Point on Which the Defense Base
Their Plea Not Considered Very
Tenable-Ths Ex-President Recover
ing from the seIf-Infiloted Wounds on
His Throat.
ATLANTA, June 5.-To.day the counsel
for W. 5. Roberts, President Of the in
solvent Bank Of Augusta, made an appeal
to Gov. Mcdaniel to suspend his warrant
extraditing Roberts on requisition OF the
Governor of New York. Mr.. Roberts was
Indicted in New York for grand larceny,
in hypothecating bonds held by him in
trust. Gov. Hill made requisition for
him, and Gov. Mcdaniel Issued an exec.
utive warrant for his delivery to the New
York authorities. Mr.. Roherts' coun-
sci sued out writ Of habeas
corpus in the State court, but Judge
Roney decided that he could not
hold MI. Roberts. They then ap-
pealed to the United States D1R-
trict Court, which refused to interfere.
From the District Court an appeal WAS
taken to Justice Woods, OF the supreme
over the Circuit Court at Atlanta. Justice
Woods affirmed the decision Of the Dis
trict Court.
THE POINT AT ISSUE.
The point now made before the Gov
ernor 10 that Roberts has been indicted in
the Georgia courts for embezzlement and
for swindiing, and that he should be held
to stand trial here. These indictments
were found after the indictments in New
York. The argument in the case con-
sumed the entire day. The Governor
withheld his decision, Mr.. Roberts
has now nearly recovered from the
wounds in his throat, which he
inflicted with suicidal intent. 1t is not at
all probable that anything will prevent
his delivery TO the New York authorities.
The ohense for which he was indicted in
New York was hypothecating of bonds of
the South Carolina Railroad which had
been placed in his hands by the Bethle-
of interest
