The Break-O'-Day President.

Unlike most men of his build, PreSi
dent Cleveland requires very little sleep.
The stories are very plenty here of visi-
tors to the Executive Mansion, Albany
n. Y, who have stayed up until l
o'clock or 2 o'clock in the morning with
the Governor, and then at O'Clock in
the morning have been awakened from
a half-cOmpleted rest by sounds Of
heavy footsteps and of whistling, to
peep out of their rooms and see the
Governor before his lookin-glass shaving
himself and whistling as cheerily as a
SchOOlboy. Once shaved and fully
dressed, the Governor would then let
himself quietly out of the front door
and stride away beyond the city's out.

company of the rattling milk carts and
the belated truck farmers on their way
to the city markets. In a small circle
of intimates he was known as ''the
break. o'-day Governor.
Four or five hours sleep and thres
light and entirely plain meals day fill
out the programme requisite with him
for good health and buoyant spirits, and
in pursuing the course he has begun in
Washington he will be following his
natural bent. He will miss the walk to
and from the Capitol six times day, to
which he has been accustomed, and he
may miss it so greatly as to make a new
departure in Washington. In former
times, before Lincoln was President,
the Chief Magistrate had the entire
White House to himself and his house.
hold, and his work and that of his
secretary were performed in rooms set
apart for the purpose in the Capitol.
President Cleveland may return to that
practice, not only because it will afford
him exercise, and, more important still,
enable him to use the White House as a
resting place and retreat, but also be-
cause under the present arrangement
there Is not sufficient room for an ordi-
nary hOushold there. When President
Arthur desired to entertain friends, he
was obliged to send them to a hotel at
night; and it is understood, and 1t is
probably true, that not all the servants
could be accommodated under the
White House roof. In Mr.. Lincoln's
time the great apartment into which
callers were ushered and the smaller
one now used by the private secretary
were taken from the household either
to free the President from daily and
frequent exposure to hostile persons In
the streets or for some reason that is
probably nOn-existent now.

Curious Piece Of Music.

In the library of Sir John Goss, re-
Gently sold in London, was transcript
of forty part song composed about
1915 by Thomas Trails. Commenting
on this fact, it is remarked that ''tO the
majority of musicians of the present
day the composition of such a piece
would be feat involving too much pa
tience to be seriously entertained, and
even among the works of composers of
the old-fashioned school only one piece
of musical mosaic work of such elab0-
rateness is known, so far as we are
aware" Works of this character are
not numerous, but the writer of the
quoted words might have known that
at about the time of Tails the harmon
lists of England and the continent were
much given to such exhibitions of in
genuity. In last century essay on the
church music of that era we read: 81
am speaking of an age when everything
was scholastic: when there were school,
men in music as well as in letters, and
when If learning had its Aquinas and
Smigleccius, music had its Master Giles
and its DR.. Bull, who could split the
seven notes of music into as many di-
visions as the others could split the ten
categories or Aristotle. A descant of
thirty-eight proportions of sundry kinds
was the wonderful work of Maistre
Giles; but DR.. Bull could produce to
the astonished reader (not hearer, for
the hearer would know nothing of the
matter) piece of harmony of full forty
parts"

The Richest Herre.s IN America.

Miss Nellie Gould, the very charming
and accomplished 1S-year-old daughter
of Mr.. Jay Gould, who is reported as
soon to wed the partner of her father,
Mr.. Washington E. COnnOr, is one of
the brightest and sweetest little ladies
in New York City. She has been finely
educated and is highly accomplished.
She is an artist of no mean ability, and
her collection of brIc-a brac, which has
been adorned by her pencil and brush,
has been greatly admired. She dresses
plainly but richly, and when in town
can be seen any afternoon driving
through the park with her brother
George and "Wash" by her side. She
has attended one or two private ger
mans, but cannot be said to have enter
ed the gay society whirl. She is quite
reserved, and to a certain extent retir-
ing, traits strongly characteristic of her
father, the king of Wall street. She is
probably the richest heiress in America

One of the most valuable employees

for doubt that his blood is of the bluest,
and that his ancestors were familiar
with palaces. But, however, aristO-
cratic his lineage he takes a genuine
pride in honest toll, and, moreover, has
done much to vlndieate his race from
the cnarge of stupidity. HIS chief
duty is the carrying of bills, letters and
dispatches from one Office to another.

Age For Le.aI Marr,aye.

In the different European states there
is considerable variation in the age at
which a legal marriage can be contract
ed. In Austria the age of discre-
tion is II years. In Hungary each relig-
Gus sect maker its own regulations
marriages being regarded as entirely &C.
clesiastical affairs. Russians can con-
tract marriage at the age of Is in case
of females. The Italian law fixes the
age at Is and 10 respectively. In Tur-
key there is no general law. The
French and Belgian codes allow marrI-
ages of young men at eighteen and girls
at 15 years, but the powers of dispensa-
tien III special cases are reserved In
Greece, Spain and Portugal, parties OF
IA and u can contract a binding mar
riage, but in the country the consent
of the parents is isneceSsary. According
to the amended paragraph of the civil
marriage bill, the state of wedlOck can
not be entered upon under 20 and 16
years respectively though the existing
laws of of Prussia and SaXOny permit
ed marriages at earlier periods. There
is much disSimIlarlty in the Swiss laws,
every canton having regulations of its
own. In some of them the consent of
the parents Is necessary up to % years.

temperaments and constitution is
allowed in the southern nations, where
maturity is reached at much earlier

Tobacco.

There isn't leaf of tobacco grown
on the Island of Key West. 1t all
comes from Cuba, and is manufactured
into cigars, which ought for all reasons
to be as good as those Of Havana, but
for some mysterious cause they are not.
There is supposed to be some fragrant
potency in the air of Havana which
gives cigars flavor they can get in nc
other locality, but what 1t is and why
its charm does not exist elsewhere neith.
er the tobacconist nor meteorologistc can
explain. Tobacco grown from the
same stock, manufactured by the same
men IN the same way, has different
flavor, OF bouquet, as they call it, il

that it has if done up in Havana.

" You are My Prisoner"

It is we'll known that Judge Nicholas
Longworth, who was on the Supreme
Bench, and who has been offered by his
party nearly every Office within the gift
Of The people, is practical joker. Uu-
ike most iokers, however, he is not a

will be remembered that not long ago
The Judge departed on European trip.
Some of his friends, imagining that it

Queenstown he, buoyantly as a cork on

and planted his feet upon Irish sod. He
had barely performed this feat when a
very large hand was laid on his shoulder
and st ern, masculine voice said:
"You are our prisoner!"
"What for ?" inquired the Judge, in
surprise.
"Yonssare an: escaped American Grim

But, my dear man, have my pass

The HOrse-Trader and the Horse.

The habitual horse-trader is not al
ways a bad man and neighbor; but he
is always supposed to need especial
watching. He, certainly, is a double
moralst except where he sometimes
merges his private code into his official
one wholly. For, the horse, which is
among the noblest of animals, really, is
somehow, practically, corrupting in
stitution. He contains in himself pretty
nearly all possibilities of the good and
the bad. His scale of developments is
of immense reach; and the worst of
it all is, that his qualities are only to be
known, within any moderate approxima-
ton, by an expert. It is hardly credible
that under the visage which seems so
guileless there can be hidden so much
deception. But we know, to our sorrow.
that it does hide there. We generally
find out the day after an unfortunate
purchase that the animal driven up so
proudly before us yesterday is not the
one that now limps and wheezes. The
entity was marvelously concealed. 1t is
a wonder that the head Of the mythical
sphynx was not mounted upon horse.
If it had been, Glipus would have
been worse baffied to unravel its mys-
terry. The slipperiness, therefore, of
the horse trader, is easily accounted for.
He cannot very we'll help it. 1t is alto
gether probable that he is half the time
cheated himself. That he has erofc
virtue than he is credited with is ev-
ident from the fact that he is rarely,
if ever. known to be rich, and is never q
millionaire. The Hour.

II can give some interesting incidents
Of that event, for I remember il very
well. The Monument Society applied,
through its foreign representatives. to
all the Governments with which il was
on such relations as to warrant it. in
wiling them to contribute blocks of
stone, with suitable Inscriptions, to be
placed IN the monument. The Pope
sent block of African marble. which
had been taken from the Temple OF Con-
cord, and, as far as can ascertain, was
inscribed with the simple words, Rome

element was rife at that period OF our
history, and but little was needed to TO-
ment the hatred against all things for
eign. A fanatical minister in Baltimore
wrote an address to the people of the
United States against placing the Pope's
block in the monument, and the result
was such religious and political Juror
that the stone was taken by unknown
men and destroyed They came sud-
denly upon the watchman one Sunday
night and, tying rope about his sentry

stone on wheelbarrow, and disappeared

Women to the Rescue!

The proprietors of the various NUS
ances within and around the city of New
York, the slaughter houses, and fat rem
dering establishments, and garbage
heaps, and the various denominations at
Hunters Point, have quietly defied the
law and public protests for long time
But the probable approach of the
cholera gives unusual importance to
such active promoters of pestilence, and
a company of ladies, persuaded probably,
by melancholy experience that men,
however we'll meaning, will effect no
relief, presented to the District Attorney
petition signed by three hundred
ladies', which he promptly laid before the
Grand Jury, which cited the petitioners
to appear.
Thereupon the ladies organized them
selves and announced their intention of
moving Immediately upon the enemy
works. They have already collected a
large sum of money, and will employ
able counsel, and will see if something
can not be done to abolish or mitigate
the pests. 1t is disgraceful that all
kinds of offal and refuse should be al
lowed to accumulate, as the ladies assert,
until they become a putrefying mass ex-
haling disease and death.
There is no public service of this
kind that women undertake which, SC
far as we know, has not been most eff
GENTLY done. Upon school boards and
charity boards and sanitary boards THEN
service has been exceedingly valuable
and effective, and if they should take
hold earnestly of this subject of the poi

so long fostered disease in the city, ii

A Tiger Hunt in Ohio.
AFTER CREATING HAVOC IN SEVERAL
FARMS THE ANIMAL Is KILLED.

The farmers of Alexandersville, Ohio,
were aroused at night by an unearthly
noise of a desperate fight between a
number of hogs in a pen and what proved
to be large and ferocious Bengal tiger.
Several shots were fired at him, when he
turned upon the squad of armed men,
with loud and terrible roars. The party
all turned and fed, escaping from the
animal, which afterward was seen coolly
drinking from spring Then he leisure.
Iy left the neighborhood. The men re-
turned to the hog pen and found four
full grown porkers with their skulls
crushed and their heads literally torn
from their bodies. This occurred in
the dead of night.
At two o'clock in the morning a posse
of men Immediately set out to capture
or kill the beast. They again came up
on him few miles from where he was
first seen, but the men were afraid to
attack him. The tiger disappeared in
the woods and was not seen again until
nine o'clock this morning, when he was
found in an old building adjoining flour
mill licking the wounds he had received.
Before reaching the mill he had killed
two sheep in a pasture and eaten part of
their heads. While lying in the shed
William Lasure, the man who lost the
hogs, crawled up to within one hundred
feet of the tiger, and, taking deliberate
aim, put a bullet through his skull,
killing him instantly. Since being killed
it has been learned that the beast
escaped from his cage while being tran
sported to Columbus. It belonged to a
circus show which was on its way from
the South to its winter qaurters in Co.
