G0nD BFGINNJNG.

President Cleveland has made a good
start on his four years journey. He has
borne himself with singular discretion
since his election His silver coinage let
ter was hailed with pleasure by the whole
east and by financial men Of both parties
throughout the country. His inaugural
address struck the popular heart, and
does not contain sentiment or a line
that patriotic men everywhere cannot en-
dorse His cabinet has received the Gnan-
imous approval of the senate and the gen
eral approval of the country, and, what
is more extraordinary, is sanctioned by
the Beecher family; and the presidents
advisers were given time, as was sensible
and wise, to prepare for the enormous re-
sponsibilities they were asked to assume,
Now comes the first subordinate APP
pointment after the cabinet-that Of Gen
eral John G. Black of Illinois, for com>
missioner of pensions. General Black is
a SCARED union soldier with brilliant
army record. He is lawyer and popular
orator of very high order OF abilities.
He is the equal at least of any represcn>
tatiye of Illinois in the national house ol
senate. Pension frauds and pension fraud
attorneys will not flourish under Commits
slOner Black, of Illinois.
Next cones the selection of ex Attorney
General C. S. FairchiId as assistant secre-
tary of the treasury in the place of II. F
French This is an admirable and sig
nifcant selection. General Fairchild's
work in exposing and prosecuting the old
canal ring of New York under the guild
ance of Governor Tilden is widely known.
This appointment probably means that
the end of treasury rings, and their CO.
operating custom house and public build.
ing rings, is at hand.

ANoTHER.TRAMP OUTRAGE.
Maud Emerson's Experience with
Couple of Miscreants.

TROY. n. y, March l2-Maui S. Emer
son is beautiful brunette, 10 years old
daughter Of one of the wealthiest farmers
near the north side. Great excitement has
been created by the news that while she was
on her way home from school Tuesday after.
noon she was waylai1 by two tramps,
brutally beaten, and robbed. On the road
between the north side and Cohoes there
is a small strip of WOODLAND which is
the resort of tramps. 1t was 8 O'Clock when
Miss Emerson left school. When she reached
the center of the woods two men jumped
from behind the trees, one seizing her by the
waist while the other began to strangle her.
The tramps dragged her into the woods.
The girl fought fierceiy TO free her
self, and at last, after biting one
Of the rascars hands, she was able to
cry for help One of the tramps then dealt
her a fearful blow on the head, which
knocked her senseless They then stripped
her Of her valuables, hut before they could
do more some men from the factories in
Cohoos, who were passing Eheard the girls
cries and rushed into the woods. The
tramps fed toward Troy before the men
reached the spot The man picked Miss
Emerson up and carried her to a farm
house. A search-party was organized, but
up TO this time have been unable to find any
trace of the tramps. Miss Emerson was
taken to her fathers house. and is quite i'll.
Her clothe5 were torn when found, and heI
face was scratched There is great excite
ment over the assault, and If the men are
captured the chances are that they may be
lynched

NOTHING UNUSUAL.
a CIR CUMSTANCE THAT GREATLY
EXCITED DAYTON, OHIO,
And Caused the Coroner and Police to
Pay a Visit to a Medical Student
THE Witches CaIldron
Discounted.

DAYTON, Ohio, March IA medical
student of the Cincinnati college, who Is at
present at his home in this city, was the SUD
ject of an unceramonious visit by the coroner
and two police officers recently. The pur-
pose of this official call was to investigate
certain sensational reports and information
to the effect that the medical student was
boiling a man The children of a next-door
neighbor had started the report During
the afternoon they had seen smoke issuing
from the yard. They climbed on the fence
to see what was burning A large iron kettle
was hung ever wood fire, and in it could
he seen the body of an old man, his feet and
head sticking up from the inside of the kettle.
His face was covered with white beard.
His long silken hair was blown about
his head by the wind, as if hooking tn
flames below. The sight Mortified the chill
dren; they screamed and ran. They told
Others, however, and in a little while the
fence was lined with school children peeping
through the cracks of the fence
at the CHASTITY sight Ia the
meantime the man boiler was busily
engaged in keeping up the fire and
stirring the contents of hi, kettle He
seemed to be unconcer1ed, and apparently
obliyious of the excitement and curiosity
around him.
In a little while the excitement had
grown to a fever heat on the street.
The police and coroner were sent
for Whom these gentlemen arrived
! they found tho medical student
intently at work skimminS or the grease
from the contents of the kettle. The frame
work of the old man was still boiling away.
A basketful of gray hair, muscles and flesh
had been scraped from the skeleton.
Inquiry and investigation developed that
the gentleman had been boiling a stiff for
Abe purpose of mounting a skeleton He
satisfied the officers that h9 had received the
subject from the medical college, that 1t wa

legitimately in the regular course of distri-
button The officers got away from the
place as soon a. possible. The medical stu

if nothing had occurred to mar tbs pleasure

CINCINNATI, March L. 49, Gath, " in a spec
ial from Washington to The Enquirer, says,
referring to President Cleveland's inaugural;
"Cleveland's veto messages have some
times been pitdy, but there was a tone il
this speech quite above inaugural message.
in general. We must so back to the time
of Lincoln to find so many agreeable and eff
fective paragraphs. What remains Of old
Democratic antecedents is merely an exhor-
tation to economical government. The ref
erences to the Mormons, to the freedmen il
the south, to civil service reform, etc, have
been parts of Republican platforms for year:
past
THE new president has hardly any gifts o.
conversation He is sententiouS, rather
monosyllable. You can, sometimes, talk t.
him for half hour, and he will have nothing
to say except "Yes; oh, yes" He viii vary
the accent on the word yes in a good many
ways, and some would imagine he was say
ing something; but most of his conversation
is response, and not an affirmation.

MISS CLEVELAND.

The Egangelist gave at the time a brief
abstract of an address which Miss Cieve-
land made before the alumna of Elmira
female college at the commencement in
1882. The topic was 'Altruisitic Faith, )"
OF all the addresses given during the
quarter of a century of the college by
many of our ab.est men, such as PROBES
sor Epson, Dr. Wolcott Calkins, DIR. Ly
man Abbott, and the editor of the Eodn-
gelist, this was pronounced second to
none of them, and for practical adapta-
ton to the young ladies the best. She
| illustrated her subject by Chadlla, the wife
of Mahomet, who believed him when all
men despisef, him, and whose faith in
i him made him what he became.
Every one must have his Chadija
| There is need of faith in God,
| faith in self and faith in humanity. She
would be hopeful, and not pessimistic
Marriage was not necessary for woman;
she need not be simply buttonhole bou~
quet to some man. If good is il one it
will come out. Go on, and you will sue,
ceed. The boosters, she said, are more
important than the boosted In looks
Miss Cleveland reminds one of Anna
Dickinson; perhaps because she wears her
hair in the same style. Yet there is Moth
| ing mannish about her, and in private she
! is rather too modest than otherwise. Her
| voice is clear and her articulation distinct
making her fine speaker. Since that
| time she has given frequent lectures at
the college, which have been very popu-
lar with the young ladies. Her name is
found in the last catalogue in the faculty
as lecturer on medieval history The
country may congratulate itself upon
having so intelligent and public spirited,
Christian woman in The White house.

Jamaica, with cedar wood shingles. Ny

suddenly, just as | was about to play a

men of scorpion, from which ran away in
every direction u number of perfectly formed
little scorpions about quarter of an inch in

The mother scorpion lay dying upon the
billiard cloth, and soon ended her feeble
struggles, the whole of her back eaten out
by her own offspring, of which, as they could
not escape over the raised edge of the bill
lard table, we killed the astonishing number
of thirty-eight. They had not only been
carried by the parent, but they had lived
on her, cleaning out her body from the shell
OF her back, so that she looked like an in
