PREsIDENT-ELECT CLEVELAND has a di-
rectness about him that is refreshing. Mr..
Cleveland has devoted himself to the task
Of hearing everything that everybody had
to say, and has proved one of the best lis
teners on record. He believes that the time
has now arrived for him to do his own talk
ing and thinking, and has authorized his
private secretary to notify persons dcsirous
of holding interviews with him that he has
given up all his time since the election to
the public, and he was now forced to deny
himself to all callers for the few days re-
naming before the Inauguration, and to
request all persons who desired to communi-
cate with him to submit their views in
writing

THE postmen's burdens to-day betrayed
the fact that the sentimental observance of
ST. Valentines day has porceptibly de
clned. The letter.carriers are the gamers
and the valentine dealers are the losers by
the decrease in the trade, but outside of
these classes there seems to be popular
inclination to regard with little interest or
regret the decline of once time-honored
and warmly cherished observance.

The question of an extra session is not rs
much discussed as it was a few days ago.
This is because there is not much prospect
been INDUCED in about the backwardness
of the appropriation bills, but the fact re.
mains as has been pointed out in The
CRITIC, that they are no more backward
than they have been score of times at
dates as near adjournment as the present.
Those Members Of the House, particularly
well-informed, who have thought that
there would be an extra session, have based
this belief upon the supposition that the
Senate would not be able to get through
with its work.
But leading members of the Senate say
that they can attend to their share of the
work in good time. And it must be borne
in mind that there is, near the close of the
short session of every Congress- talk about
an extra session. The condition Of the ap-
preparation bills does not really look much
like an extra session. The Military Acad-
emy bill has become law. The bills in
conference are the District of Columbia,
the Pension, and the Consular aud Dlplo-
matte. The Army bill has passed the SEN
ate with but slight amendments. Tho In-
dian bill has been reported to the Senate
from committee and tho Agricultural bill
will be reported next Monday. The bills
yet to be sent to the Senate by the House
are the Postoiiice, the Legislative, the
Naval, the Fertilization, the General De-
fciency and the River and Harbor, il The
latter is passed at all by the House.

Ii this PRACTICAL age with the MONDAY
glare Of science throwing its light upon our
pathway, we are far from tresding on solid
ground. The farther we advance the more
quicksands we encounter. Take the almost
unparalleled case of JOHNSON, who is now
on trial at Greenville, Tenn, for the muir
der of EDWIN HENRY, the seducer Of his
wife. In this case it seems to be con-
ceded that Henry obtained a mes
meric influence over Mrs. JOHNSON and
thus led herto her ruin. Physicianstesti6ed
during the trial to the existence Of mes
merism or animal magnetism. and asserted
that it influenced not only persons in direct
contact with the mesmerizer but also those
at q distance. In this case we find grave
statesmen and lawyers like Senator Voor-
bees discussing the effect Of mesmerism
Just as they would discuss well known fact
of common every day life. Are We going
back to the days of mystery and witchcrsft?
Are we ~eyoluting Backward Possibly the
good people of Salem were right when they
put the alleged witches to death.

The editors are being pressed into the
service Of the government all around. To
say nothing of the consulstes given to such
men as SToDDARD and ALDEN, every editor
in the United States has Just received an in
vitariOn to keep the government posted as
70 the arrival of the grasshoppers. Such
manifestations of esteem and confidence on
The part Of the rulers of the country are ex-
ceediDgly gratifying to the great body of
American journalists. Every editor in the
land now feels that the country expects
him to do his duty in the matter of watching
for gra~sshoppers. The knowledge that in
diseharging this duty ne is serving the
government in an important capacity will
no doubt prove q powerful incentive. The
fact that there is no salary connected with
this g~rasshopper business makes no differ
ence. The honor of the thing is enough.
The farmers may rest perfectly secure and
go to sleep without the slightest fear. From
Maine to Texas and from ocean to ocean
an army Of keen. eyed newspaper men stand
impatiently waiting for the hoppers to
make their appearance.

THERE has been much clamor among

enough. But if they would stop to consider
they would certainly see that the good work

placed by Democrats. The same a be

The Bread and Butter Theory of Life.

1f@ NNN
Man is not the six feet Of carbon, oxygen
and hydrogen which we lay in the grave.
If he were, the bread would be everything.
Bread would be the Saviour; bread would
be the God by whom we lived and moved
and had our being. Provision stores would
be our temples and the commissariat would
be our priesthood. Strange religion that!
and yet not so strange after all, for the great
mass of mankind have q religion that is
effectively this. Bread is the foundation
Take away bread, life goes, man dies, and
there is the end. The one needful condi-
ton Of, the happiness taught BY the worlds
religion is in the digestive organs. If the
occupations and enjoyments Of this life are
al, then although they be the occupations
and ~eDjoyments of poets, painters and phil.
osophers, and not of money makers, they
are all dependent on the stomach, sad the
bread question is the most important one
that can exercise the human mind. Unless
YOU see another world, and that 9 spiritual
world, you must come to this bread basis
of life, no matter how much your soul may
revolt at il and show its fitness for some
thing better.
