Among the pleasant perquisites of the
Presidents, the free use Of boxes at the
Washington Theatre is one that they
have more or less aYailed themselves
OF. Last week the manager Bof one of
the theatres: called on Mr.. cleveland
and placed at his disposal q box for any
night when he should feel like going,
extending the invitation to anybody he
might choose to bring with him. Mr..
Cleveland said he would be pleased to
visit his show, and named q night when
he thought, he might be- able to do SO,
but positively declined to accept any
favors in the way Of boxes, and said he
should pay the regular box-ofice price.
IA correspondent at Sparta, Ca,
writes: Recently David Dickson, the
richest planter in the South next to
Richardson, of Mississippi, died leav-
ing an estate Of $500 1000. He had no
children but q large number of rela-
tives, excellent people who expected to
be handsomely remembered. His will
which has just been probated, reveals
the fact that he has cut off his kindred
with mere pittances, and bsqueathed
fully 100000 in property to- Amanda
Eubanks, "a negress, making her the
richest colored woman III the world. -
The Washing ton. correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader says Tho new
Cabinet are not ad-looking set of
men. Bayard's face is classic, and it
might have stood for one OF tile Greek
sculptors' models. Manning's is strong,
and is almost the exact image Of that Of
Cleveland, though it is niere expressive
as far as intellectual strength SIS CON
cerned. Villas looks like Roscoe Conk-
ling in black hair, and Lamar's photo
graphs resembles Tom Nast's typical
tire-eating Southerner. Whitney has
the most pleasing face; of any OF; the
Cabinet Ministers. He looks like o
good fellow and a high toned man.
Garland has the homeliest face. -
