Since Secretary Manning assumed charge of the Treasury Department, sixty clerkships, averaging from $90O 10 $2, 100 have become vacant. Within one exception the offices are within the civil service classifca- tion. The Secretary has decided not to fill any of the vacancies in question, on the ground that the in- terest of the services does not require it. This decision will result in an annual saving of about $66, ,000.

Of course, it would not take the same time or quantity for younger person or the disease in earlier stages. Even if it did not positively cure (which is al- most impossible in cases of inherit. ed affiiction) ], it will give you renew ed strength, flesh, vitality, even al- though reduced to "contrmed in- valid" as was my condition.

Vermont at New Orleans.

The New Orleans Picayune thus de-
scribes the Vermont house and exhibit
at the exposition One of the most
elaborate and attractive exhibits in
the government building is the impOs-
ing arch that faces the entrance to the
Vermont state exhibit. This arch is
modelled after the celebrated arch of
Titus, at Rome, with such mOditica-
tions as were necessary on account of
the materials used and the method of
it's construction. The dimensions of
the arch are, height l8 feet, width 10
feet, depth 6 feet, cubic feet of marble
500, cubic feet of granite $50, weight
about 10000 pounds. The bases are
of Vermont granite, showing all the
best varieties produced in the state at
Barre, South Ryegate, st. JOhnsbury
and Brattleboro. The polished columns
are of Vermont marble, and include
four kinds, viz: Extra dark blue Rut-
land, Sutherland Falls, East Dorset
Italian and mountain dark. The en-
tire structure above the granite was
contributed by the Producers Marble
company of Rutland, Vermont, and
exhibits the different varieties they
are quarrying.
Along a tile walk of varicol Ored
marble, furnished by Messrs. Geo. r.
l.. Barney & Co. of SwantOn, the APP
proach is made to the full-sized, two
room house which is the Vermont
headquarters. The entrance door, the
frame of which is sawed from slate, is
hanked on the left by full-sized black
bear and to the right with panther.

Miss Cleveland.

An Albany newspaper cOrrespon-
dent, writing about the sister of Presi-
dent Cleveland, recently said
Miss r. f. Cleveland will be the mis-
tress of the White House. She did not
join the household in the governors
mansion here, but has been with him
a great deal since lie retired to the
Towner residence on his resignation of
the governOrship. 1t was with reluc-
lance that she consented to go to Wash
ington to take charge of the presidon-
tlal domicile. She has been an earnest
and lndurtrl0us woman, and never con-
templated "A life of luxury, much less
one OF conspicuous position before the
country. She is as unique in her way
as her brother is in his, though they
are apparently not ut all alike in gen
eral character, nor does she physically
resemble him.
She Is of medium stature and build
with a shapely and highly intellectual
face. She is good looking, but not
pretty. She dresses neatly, but plainly,
and wears few ornaments. She has for
Il long time been II lecturer by profess
sion, her specially being educational
subjects, and her audiences usually the
pupils of girls schools. She has, for
example, just lectured at the Elmira
seminary on Joan of Arc" She speaks
several languages, is exceptionally
well informed in history and the arts,
and has that degree of confidence in
herself and the knowledge she pos
sesses to be able to firmly take the lead
in conversation, and to hold it against
the bright men and women who have
come in contact with her. Yet in some
respects she is notably shy, and always
so modest and amable as to win friends
easily and quickly. "Why, she's a
perfect dictionary" said Ex-Governor
Cornell, when he returned from n visit
to Miss Cleveland yesterday. "She's
one of the brightest women | ever
met" "And do you know" remarked
the eX-gOvernor's vivaciOus wife, "she
seemed inclined to avoid promiscuous
society III Washington. | told her on

| also assured her that she need not he
doubtful about her ability to entertain,
though omitted the truth that there
are few women there so we'll fitted TO

There seems to be no doubt that
Miss Cleveland's administration will
not lack distinctive qualities, for she is
a strong minded woman, accustomed
to instruct members of her sex, and
with firmly grounded notions gener-
ally.
