President Cleveland has the reputation of
being the best man to entertain bores that has
ever entered the White House. He can sit and
listen all day long to a man who makes a per-
feet nuisance of himself, if the man is anybody
worth listening to at all, and the visitor will
not know but that he is adding greatly to the
Presidents pleasure. In this connection q good
story is told of very deaf Philadelphia, who
called on Mr.. Cleveland soon after the election.
1t seems that he had heard wonderful stories
about the influence Mr.. German had over Mr.,
Cleveland, and he had called to warn him
against "that Baltimore crowd" He went into
details to show him what a hard lot the Balti-
moreans were, and appeared to know them all
intimately. The governor listened with all his
ears, occasionally yelling "Yes!' or ''No!' into
the horn OF the visitors ear-trumpet, and never
suggesting that he had had about enough of it.
Presently Colonel Lamont, who had been SYM
pathizing with his chief, had occasion to leave
the room. AS he passed in the rear of the
governor his excellency still seemed intent on
the old mans recital, never taking his eyes
from his face but the private secretary got
directly behind him he heard the familiar voice
say in o wearisome aside: "Dan, this is the
worst racket ever struck" But the visitor
was innocent of all suspicion, and Cleveland
listened patiently till he finished.

From Texas Siftings.
Sam Peterby, a merchant from the interior,
while attending the Mardi Gras festivities at
Galveston, united business with pleasure by
purchasing q bill of goods from q prominent
firm. He was very politely received, and one
Of the proprietors showed him over the i'm
mense store. On reaching the fourth floor the
customer perceived a speaking tube on the
wall, the first thing Of the kind he had ever
seen.
what is that?' he asked.
"Oh, that is a speaking tube; it is great con-
venience. We can converse with clerks on the
first floor without the trouble of going down
stairs"
Can they hear what you say through that?"
asked the visitor.
Certainly; and they can reply at the same
time"
You don't say so!' exclaimed the visitor.
"May talk through it?'
"Certainly," was the reply.
The visitor put his mouth to the tube and
asked:
"Are Sam Peterby's goods packed up YETI"
The people in the office must have supposed
it was somebody else speaking, for a moment
later the distinct reply came back:
mo. We have not packed them yet. We
are waiting for a telegram from his town. We
believe he is slippery uSS." :

The END NEARING.
General Grant Growing Each Day
Less Strong.
THE END WILL COME FROM DEBILITY.
The Second Week at the Mountain
Retreat of the Great
Patient.
NATURAL PROGRESS OF THE DISEASE.

Mt. McGREGoR, N. Y, June 3O.-To-dsy
it has been two weeks since General Grant
was moved from New York. On the day
he came the temperature was SO. This
morning it is SIS at the cottage. Dr.. Doug
las was asked this morning to review the
fortnight that General Grant has passed
upon the mountain. "His life has been
pro,opgsa BY the insigorating, sir'hsre, In
stead Of the great heat of New York. The
disease has progressed in the natural way
but as have said before is one of increas
ing debility. The General was likely to
die at any time in New York,
and had he remained there instead of COM
ing here he wouldin all human probability
have expired before this. His present weak
ness is the natural result of the disease. he
is each day less strong, and though the
step from day to day is scarcely perceptible,
the aggregate of fourteen days becomes
noticeable. Two weeks ago General Grant
left the city, if he was in New York to-day,
he could not be moved here, as his strength
is not equal to sucha journey. Now, if you
ask me when the end will probably be, l
cannot tell-none can tell. He grows
weaker and weaker and at last the point of
exhaustion will be reached. That is all, and
nobody can tell when that will be" ,"
Referring to the local conditions Dr.
Douglas said the mouth and throat were un-
usually clear, as the result of quiet and close
attention during the two days past. But
ahen this is said it must be remembered
hat the tongue is so swollen as to render
articulation difficult and thorough examina-
lion impossible. The loss of voice is due
partly TO Inflammation of the vocal chords
and partly to lassitude and Taxation Of the
parts. The glandulsr swelling is decreased,
but when the hand is passed over
,he neck, the nodosities, or csncerous
knotiDgs Of the glands, are not sbsted, but
becoming harder constantly. The weak.
ness ot the patient is now evident in lack of
ability and desire to walk the cottage
piazza, as he did ten days ago. There is q
disposition on the Generals part to ecouo-
mize his strength, and there is lessened in
terest in bis literary work. The doctor this
morning reported that the General had q
fairly good night and gained considerable
sleep He is remaining in his room this
morning. The air being raw and chilly,
fires blaze in the cottage and at the hotel.

New York, June 30.-The mercantile
failures for the six months ending to-day,
are reported by r. G. Dun as 6,00i as
against 5,5lO for the first six months OF
1884. In liabilities, however, there is a
marked decrease, the amount for the first
half Of 1885 being $74,OOO,OO6 as against
$l23,O00 900 in 1884. In the circular an
