MR.. CLEVRLAND'S CABINET.
Msssrs Bayard, Garland, lamar, Manning
and Villas Said to be Slated.


Dispatches received in Washington
from Albany and hints dropped by pol
iticians who have recently come from
there indicate that the principal places
in Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet have been
filled. 1t is the common belief that
Mr.. Bayard will be Secretary of state,
Daniel Manning of the Treasury, Mr..
Lamar Secretary of the Interior or
Postmaster General, Mr.. Garland At
torney General, and Mr.. Villas Secre-
tary of War. The Navy Department.,
it is understood, is to so to Mr.. Jones
of New Hampshire or to Mr.. Endicott
of Massachusetts,, swallow tailed Dem
ocrat who is almost mugwump, or to
Connecticut man. This slate would
leave only one vacancy to be filled from
a long list of candidates. There is no
doubt that the friends of Uncle Joe
Mcdonald are on the anxious seat.
Senator Voorhees,, who has just return
ed from Albany, is said TO be far from
happy over the outlook. He docs not
tell what happened at Albany, bat the
impression grows that Mr.. Cleveland
for some reason did not warm up to
Uncle Joe. The politicians here are
as keenly interested in Postmaster-Gen-
erealship as in any of the Cabinet places
and there is much anxiety to see who
the man for that office will be- II he
is a mugwump a great many Congress
men will be brokenherted, for every
mail is bringing them petitions by the
peck for the appointment of party
workers. They do not expect to get
many of the twenty-three hundred post
offices to be filled by the Presidents
appointment, but they do hope tol
much substantial patronage from tbs
Postmaster-Gener who has at his
disposal more than forty eight thousanc
offices.

In the early days of Methodism In Scot

was but one rich man, desired to build new
chapel. A church meeting was held. The
old rich Scotchman rose and said: "BretlI.

for repairs"
just then bit of plaster falling from the
ceiling hit him on the heal
Looking UP and seeing how bad it was, he

There are many human tabsrnacles which
are in sore need of radical building over, but
We putter and fuss and repair in spots with
out satisfactory results It is only when we
are personally alarmed at the real danger
that we act independently, and do the right
thing. Then it is that we most keenly re-
greet because we did not sooner use our judg-
ment, follow the advice born of the expert
ence of others and jump away from our
perils.
Thousands of persons who will reed this
paragraph are in abject misery to-day when
they might be in a salts factory condition.
They are weak, lifeless, full of odd aches and
pains, and every year they know they are
getting worse, even though the best doctors
are patching them in spots. The origin of
these aches and pains is the kidneys and liver,
and if they would build these all over new

done, and cease investing their money in

would be we'll and happy and would bless the

Musical Edison.

Thomas Edison, the inventor, al
though somewhat deaf, is passionately
fond of music. He has piano in his
elegant home that is pounded on most
vigorously by the famous electrician two
or three times day. He does not play
by note, but has a wonderfully quick
ear to catch popular and even difficult
opera airs. His deafness is not so great
as to interfere with his hearing music.
1t is amusing to see him getting a tune
out of his ivory keys. He looks very
much as though he were at telegraph
key sending off quick dispatch and
wanted to rattle the operator at the
other end by his lightning rapidity.
Sometimes he will play piece with his
forefinger only. 1t moves like phan-
tom finger, so hurriedly does it pass
over the keys. He goes to the opera
frequently, and Immediately upon re-
turning home, no matter how late the
hour, he sits at the piano and rattles off
some of the catchy airs. Opera bouffe
is his favorite style of music. All at
once he will strike up 'Semiramide, :"
and wind up with something from
''The Little Duke" or "Falka.o His
playing is not bad He has nervous.
quick touch, which, if combined with
a ready knowledge of notes, would
make him great performer.
