LATEST CABINET GOSSIP.
Mr.. Bayard's Visit to Albany.
THE DELAwARIAN LIKELY TO BE SECRETARY
OF STATE AND MANNING TO HAVE THE
TREASURY PoRTFoLIo.

Senator Bayard has not yet returned from his
visit to Albany, where he saw Mr.. Cleveland.
Therefore, nothing definite Is known here with
regard either to the object Of the visit or what
occurred. The supposition Of Mr.. Bayards
friends is that he went to Albany to advise
Mr.. Cleveland of his final decision as to the
acceptance Of a cabinet position. 1t is also
generally thought that Mr.. Bayard, If he did
announce his decision. expressed his willing
ness to serve. This belief Is based upon the re-
That though he had preference for the Senate
over the cabinet, he would not refuse to serve
the country and his party in any capacity
where it was believed his services would be
most valuable. Among democratic senators
the impression seems to prevail that If Mr.. Bay
ard enters the cabinet it win be as Secretary OF
state 1t is not deemed probable that Mr..
Cleveland would select the head of the Treasury
outside of New York, and in this connection It
can be stated that there is a growing belief that
Mr.. Daniel Manning will be made Secretary of
the Treasury. As the head of a large banking
nrm, ne enjoys the confidence Of the business
men OF New York, and he is known to be Q
favorite with both Cleveland and Tilden.

True greatness consists IN doing
what deserves to be written, in writ
ing what deserves TO be read, and in
making mankind better and happier
for your life.
II we practice goodness, not for the
sake OF its own intrinsic excellence.
but for the sake of gaining some adj
vantage by it, we may be cunning,
but we are not good.
Good manners declare that their
possessor is a person of superior quail.
ity, no matter what his garb or how
ever slender his purse. They prove
his respect for himself, and also prove
his respect for those whom he ad-
dresses.
Scrupulous fairness in estimating
the doings and character of others is
not very common characteristic,
and the man who builds much of his
happiness on recognition of his
personal merits is very likely to be
rather a melancholy person. 1t is
better, upon the whole, to cultivate a
little philosophical indifference to
what the world may say; and the
more a man can do this, the more
fairly, as rule, will ne be appraised.
The right faith of man is not in
tended to give him repose, but to
enable him to do his work. It is not
intended that he should look away
from the place he lives in now, and
cheer himself with the thoughts of
the place he is to live IN next, but
that he should look stoutly into this
world, in faith that, if he does his
work well here, some good to others
or himself will come of it hereafter.
You want to be good ard are trying
to be. Learn these two things-never
to be discouraged because good things
get on slowly here, and never to fail
daily to do that good which lies next
to your hand. Do not be in hurry,
but be diligent. Enter into that sub,
lime patience of the Lord. Be chart
table in view of it. God can afford
to wait; why caanot we. since we
have Him to fall back upon? Let
patience have her perfect work, and
bring forth her celestial fruits. Trust
to God to weave your threads into the
great web, though the pattern shows
it not yet.
Character is the united product of
thinking, feeling, and doing. It is a
mistake to make action correspond
with knowledge without the interven-
ton of feeling; it will not be ruled
out. knowledge must be made vital
in the heart before it can blossom into
conduct, and the continual passing of
right feeling into right action alone
can form a worthy character.

British Breeding.
The London Queen.

The other day a young and pretty
woman, with eyes of the kind suppos-
ed to be able to melt the typical ice,
was on the point of stepping into an
omnibus where only one seat was
left. A well-dressed, well~got-up
man of about 80 pushed her rudely
aside as he sprang up the steps and
took the vacant place. At another
time, on coming out of the theater,
while the people were waiting just IN
side the door for their carriages or
cabs, man lighted cigar and blew
the smoke into the face Of lady
standing there with a friend. She
made gesture of repugnance, when
the man said, Gentlemen may smoke
here" ''You may smoke here, but
you can not be gentleman if you
do" said the lady-one of those not
easily put down.
The annoyances to which young
women travel alone are often subject
ed is again by no means proof that
our politeness is intrinsic. If lady
meets an ordinary young English
man who does not know her, she
meets someone who does not hold her
worthy of politeness, and who does
not go out of his way to show her
any. If she be pretty he stares at
her, perhaps smiles, perhaps speaks;
if she be of no personal attractiveness,
and has only her womanhood as her
claim, he leaves her emphatically to
herself. Whatever she may be about
to do-to pass through doorway,
enter railway carriage, or az omni-
bus, or a lift. he pushes past her,
though no one is hurried for time,
and lets her follow meekly after.
The elderly gentlemen are more court
eous. They retain still certain fla
vor of the stately old times when
manners were a part of gentlman's
education, and politeNess was one of
the points of distinction between a
courier and boor

Big Grasshopper Stories.

Since the invasion of Northern Cal

marked revival in the literature ap~

they stopped the train. There was
