Governor Boutwell, has lived in Groton
fifty years. He went there March 5, 1886,
from Lunenburg, whittier his parents
removed from Brookline, where he was
born in 1918.
Among the pleasant perq1isites of the
Presidents, the free use of boxes ct the
Washington Theatre is one that they
have moro or less availed themselves
of. Last week the manager of one of
the theatres called on Mr.. Cleveland
and placed at his disposal box for any
night when he should feel like going,
extending the 1nvitati ton to anybody he
might choose to bring with him. Mr..
Cleveland said he would be pleased to
visit his show, and named 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 office price.
A correspondent at Sparta, Ga,
writes: Recently David Dickson, the
richest planter in the South next to
Richardson, of Mississippi, died leav-
ing an estate Of $500 900. He had no
children but large number of rela-
lives, 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 bequeathed
fully 800, 900 in property to Amanda
Eubanks, g. negress, making her the
richest colored woman i'll the world"
The Washington correspondent Of the
Cleveland Leader says: "The new
Cabinet are not q bad-looAing set of
men. Bayard's face is classic, and it
might have stood for one OF the Greek
sculptors' models. Alanning's is strong,
and is almost the exact image of that Of
Cleveland, though it is more expressive
as far as intellectual strength is con-
cerned. Villas looks like Roscoe Conk-
ling in black hair, and Lamar's photo
graphs resembles Tom Nast's typical
fre-eating Southerner. Whitney has
the most pleasing face of any of the
Cabinet Ministers. He looks like a
good fellow and high-toned man.
Garland has the homeliest face"

The New York Sun frequently ,ad-
ministers doses of strong "horse sense"
to its youthful correspondents. To a
young man IN Virginia who asks if there
is book that describes the life and ways
of the different grades of society in
New York, the Sun replies that if any
such work exists it cannot be. OF much
value, as there are no fixed social
grades III this country. The surface of
