buffalo Times.

Like Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland
will Select his own Cabinet, regardless of the
wishes aud advice Of others. Still he listens
respectfully. He receives advice kindly and
with the courtesy of finished gentleman.
But he has q large head upon his shoulders
and a mind of his own. Like Gen. Jackson
he will do as he believes best for the inter-
ests of the country and his own comfort
Those who have been most active in tender
ing advice to him will, we believe, eventually
learn that he can be trusted to conduit ms
official affairs according to his own ideas;
and his enemies, even those who have been
foremost in vituperation, will respect him.
Grover Cleveland will yet confound his foes
aud astonish even his most sanguine and en-
thusiastic advocates.

have drawn crowded houses wherever he has
appeared aud the entertainments arc de-
scribed as something wonderful.
In referring to his performances the De-
troit Press says: There was great sport at
Music hall last evening, furnished by Prof.
Reynolds, the mesmerist, and the ten or
twelve gentlemen who proved susceptible 10
the magnetic influence. Besides putting the

as though there was sinker and hook
deeper down. The great fun, however, was

various parts Of the ball, and the manner In
which they scooped "grouuders," captured
'flies," asked Judgment" and otherwise
made sharp work with the visionary ball, was
laughable.

men came to their severe work without any
breakfast, and, though filed with smoke,
dreuched with water and sheeted with ice,
did valiant duty to man, being furnished
with liberal supply of hot coffee by the mill
owners, who are loud in their praise, and
who remarked that although there was a sa-
loon close to the fire not single member Of
the department crossed its threshold.
As it stands this building is monument
to the skillful handling of his forces by Chief
John Black, who in the face Of what looked
TO many of our prominent citizens to be an
impossibility, saved all but about forty feet
through to the roof and offered the most
stubborn resistance.
SECOND FIRE..
The second fire yesterday was heralded by
an alarm sent in BY Officer Cummings on
box SO, at $40 in the evening, caused By the
debris il the cellar of q one story wooden
building, 1856 Minnesota street, between
Fifth and Sixth, taking ire from some IN
known cause. The building was owned by
James G. Don nelly, and occupied by Bergen
& Nerney, small grocers. The dam
age to the building was in the
region of $50 which was insured
for $500, and on the contents the loss was
trifing, the only injury, if any, being done
by smoke.
At 1855 an alarm was sent in on box 46,
which took the department to 207 Seventh
street, next door TO the corner of Sibey,
where the flames were bursting from the front
windows of the Ben Banks second hand
clothing store, also occupied by
A. L. Haugled in the rear as a tailor
shop. The premises were thoroughly Quilted,
and the fire burned through a partition in
spots into the clothes cleaning establishm eut
of Charles Hunt, doing the stock therein
slight damage. The loss on the building
and contents was about $3.50, aud there was
no insurance on either. The fire was first
discovered by boy who slept in the store,
running into the street in his under clothes
thoroughly frightened out of his wits.
The land and building were owned
by G. ". Eckles, who owns the block on the
corner Of Seventh and Sibley streets, and
was to have been torn down next spring TO
give place to three story brick block. The or
lgiu Of the fire was probably from an over
heated stove.
This last fire ran up the number of alarms
for this month to thirty-One.
