Impressions Of Cleveland.

"What are they saying in Washing
ton?" asked eX-Gov. Cleveland. l told
him they were saving nothing of interest
to him or to the public; that, OF course,
the Cabinet was the chief topic Of inter
est, but that everybody seemed to be in
the dark as to how it was to be made up.
He smiled pleasantly, though not with
the air of person who assumes superior
wisdom in the course he has taken. II

gently away from Washington as | can

Journey also. None Of the Cabinet posi-
lions are fully decided upon. There may
be changes at the last moment"
Several names were freely canyassed
between us. the Governor seeming inter
ested to get an opinion with regard to
them. OF course, he told me nothing
upon which he had decided. / should
feel almost certain that Mr.. Garland, OF
Arkansas, is in favor with him. This is
about as far as 1 could 90 with any ap-
proach to certainty. His manner is very
cautious in committing himself as re-
CARDS others. He desires a good share
Of the younger element OF the party IN
the Cabinet, and he wants working men
there. In the case of one of my own
favOrites. he asked me: ''lsn't he Y
wears Old?7 He expressed regret that the
practice of the government in connection
with the small salary attached to the
pos;tion had made it difficult for any one
but a rich man to accept the office OF
Secretary of state.
| obtained a strong impression that
Gov. Cleveland designs the offices to be
assigned. first of all, with view to the
public interest. and that he is not in
sympathy at all with the spOils system.
"If our elections are to be mere strife
for the possession of the Offices" be said
to me. ''then, instead of being one of the
best governments in the world, ours is
one OF the WORST
NV own impression is that there will be
few removals early in the coming admin
stration compared with what the Repub-
Iicans had when they came into pow
er q years earlier, and that none of them
will be removed except for cause. AS re-
CARDS the fate of those whose commits
sions are to expire, l should speak less
confidently, for the Governor feels thor.
oughly the intolerance that has been
practiced toward the Democrats in the
last q years. Yet here the interest Of
the public service is likely to be fully ap
preciated.

An Action to Recover a BET

Paris Dispatch 10 tie LOadou &tfRdnd.
The rule that there can tie no action at
law for the recovery OF bets would seem,
from a decision Just given by the Paris
Tribunal, not to be Of absolute applica-
ton. In the case in question NJ. LapOrte
bet NJ. Sortet SCOOP. to 10,000f. that his
pony would beat the horse of NJ. SOrtet in
a distance of $500 metres. The $4,000.
were deposited with a third person, and
the race came of last September on the
LOngchamps course. NJ. SOrtet's horse
came in first, and the 1S,000f were about
to be paid to him, when NJ. Laporte OBJ
jected on the ground that there had not
been fair play, the Jockey Of NJ. Sortet
having, as alleged. interfered with the
running of NJ. Laporte's pony along q
part of the course which is concealed
from the view of spectators by planta-
ton. n. LapOrte followed up his Objec-
lions by bringing an action to recover the
full amount Of the bets, namely, $4,000
In spite Of the clause of the civil code
when precludes lawsuits for debts OF
honor, the tribunal decided in favor of adj
hitting the action. and authorized NJ
LapOrte to collect evidence in proof of the
alleged fraud.

Neio YORK Tribune.

II happened at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
Thursday evening. Something was said
of the severity of the weather. ''WeD. IL
is the kind Of weather" observed the Op-
tlmist of the party, that makes glad the
heart of the iCe-man." There was no dis
sent from this proposition, and the con-
versation would doubtless have taken an
other turn had it not been that the gentle
man who had called attention to the fact
that the weather was severe, inquired:
"Sneaking of ice, did you ever hear that
uatbetic story Of the New York barkeeper
who went down to Maine for his health p
They all answered no; thereupOn he tod
them this story:
"There was once d New York barkeeper
who fell into decline, lost his appetite,
couldn't sleep, and SO on. His doctor adj
vised him to Try a change of air, and re-
commended the Maine woods. He started
for the woods, and on his way halted over
night at Portland. During the evening
there was a terrible hail storm. Standing
at one of the windows of the Office of mis-
hotel the barkeeper watched the fall of
the hail stones-many of them nearly as
large as a hens egg. While thus engaged
he was observed by the hotel keeper to
shed a flood of scalding, passionate tears.
The hotel keeper was tender hearted
person, ever mindful of the comfort Of his
guests, so softly approaching the weep
ing barkeeper, he begged. leave to inquire
the occasion Of his sorrow. Ion, it's
nothing; I'll feel all right again present

glance at the descending hail it pains me
to see so much cracked ice wasted ON a

they were brought by dozen men, who
packed them for some Is miles over the
snow. Our fires and lights went out, and
it was fight TO keep ourselves from freeZ-
ing to death. To make matters still more
horrible, the measles broke out, and we
were suffering from three of the greatest
terrOrs known to mankind. At last relief
came, and the snow had become SO hard
that it was necessary to blast our way
out. This was slow and tedious. The

had to alleviate our sufferings was an
abundance of pure water. We reached

No BLTNDERS.

His investments were all safe and judi
ciOus. He very early paid $3.50 for a
piece of land, which afterward turned
out handsomely for him, a half interest In
a copper mine thereon bringing him S25.-
600, which he invested in farms, and
which was the basis of his atterward i'm
mense fortune. The next wise and for
tunate step that this rising young man
took was to marry good wife. In 1S41
he was united in marriage to Miss Eliza
beth Gresham, the daughter Of the Rev.
Joseph Gresham, a Baptist minister of
South Carolina. She smoked her pipe
and blew the smoke the right way. He
received the Democratic nomination Tor
the Legislature, opposed by Col. John NJ.
Edge. The canvass was an active one,
and resulted in his triumphant election.
The temperance issue was raised against
Mr.. Brown, he being a member Of the
order of Sons of Temperance. With his
usual pOsitiveness he took square temper
auce ground when assailed. The Objec-
tion was made to him that he was against
thehquor traffic. He accepted it boldly re
fused to treat to liquor In his canvass,
and in his speeches broadly announced
that ne would treat no one, though the
refusal might cause his defeat by thOus-
ands of votes. In a rural mountain Sec
ton, where the distillatiOn of spirits is
largely carried on, 1t might well De sup
posed that such a declaration would be
perilous. The custom of candidates US
Ing liquor freely in their campaign was
general. He had the courage to break
the custom, and after warm contest he
was decisively elected. 1t is matter OF
curious note that the Assistant Secretary
of the Senate was Alfred ID. COlquitt,
who thirty years later made Joseph E.
Brown United States Senator, and was
united with him in the political campaign
of 1880, the most savage political contest
ever witnessed in Georgia, and which re-
suited in the reelection Of COlquitt as
Governor of Georgia, and the election OF
Brown as United States Senator.

REFUSING TO DRINK WINE.

Faithful to His Principles-GeneraI Wash
ington and Conscientious officer.
In these days no well-bred person
shows surprise when any one refuses
wine. It is only the vulgar and unre-
fined who significantly lift their eye
brows or make sneering remarks be-
cause a comrade shows his temperance
principles. Perhaps this has always
been true. At any rate, the following,
clipped from the Little Christian, shows
that Washington was as gentlemanly as
he was great.
Toward the close of the Revolution
airy War an officer in the army had oc-
casion to transact some business with
General Washington, and repaired to
Philadelphia for that purpose. Before
leaving be received an invitation to dine
with the General, and, accepting, found
himself in company with many distin-
gulshed guests, among whom he pre-
served modest demeanor, taking but
little part in the conversation. Before
the close of the dinner General Wash
ington, calling him by name, requested
him to drink a glass Of wine with him.
VIII you have the goodness to ex-
cuse me, General?" replied the officer.
81 have made it rule never to drink
wine"
All eyes were instantly upon the
young officer. with surprise and indig-
nation mayhap few with approval.
That a person should be so unsocial and
so mean as to never drink wine was too
bad: but that he should abstain from it
on an occasion like that, and when
offered to him by Washington himself,
was infolerable.
Washington at once saw the feeling
OF his guests, and promptly addressed
them: Gentlemen, said he, "our
friend is right; do not wish any of my
guests to partake of any thing against

A JAPAN EsE INDUSTRY.
The Straw-Braid Trade of Japan-Th,

The Straw-Braid Trade of Japan-The
~ Dexterity of the PIalters.
Within the last three years quite a
new industry for Japan has sprung into
existence-the manufacture of straw
plat or braid for mems hats and
women's bonnets for use abroad. The
first year the export consisted of soma
5000 pieces only, the next it increased
to 10000, and the last to nearly 1,000,-
600 pieces of sixty yards each. The
price, of course, varies according to the
season and quality of the article, rang
ing, we believe, from eighty sen down
to as low as twenty-five sen per piece,
the latter being, we understand, the
price just now, owing to the fact of The
season being over, for it has to reach
America in time to be made up by the
hat makers for the summers trade.
There is also an immense production in
China of the same article, which has
existed for many years past; the price
there, however, mostly rules consid-
erably lower than there, owing to the
cost of Chinese manufactures being gen.
orally less than the japanese ask for
their wares, The Japanese plat ordi-
rarily commands a better price abroad,
as the straw of which it is made is
brighter and whittier in color; it is also
mostly very neatly made, owing to the
deft fingers of the japanese being adj
mirably suited TO the work. This in
dustry, which bids fair to develop into
larger and larger proportions, is an
especial benefit to the farming class, the
raw material costing nothing and the
making of the plat furnishing occupa-
ton to the female branches of the fam
lily during leisure hours and winter
nights, when work outside can not be
followed. The money earned being so
much clear gain, it is welcome supplies.

poor and industrious families. We OBJ

terty of the plaiters and the quality of

Be StudiOus, and Resolve to Be Gentle
man, Come What Will.
Young man, have a purpose In your
heart Now, what is your purpose in
life? Is it that, under all circumstances,
you will do what you think is right9
Or is it to become rich at the expense
of principle and right? The first pur-
pose you should have is to care for
yourself. Young men nowadays don't;
and when the body is wrecked, they
hobble through life, making everybody
about them miserable. Find out what
diet best agrees with you, and adhere to
it. Daniel began by abstSining from
wine. This would be a good start for
you, young man.
Next, take care OF your intellect.
Study, if you have intellect-there are
some young men who don't know
whether or not they have any intellect
improve it. Many handwriting men
have acquired profound educations by
being studious during small intervals
of leisure. Get an hour day if you
can get no more. Devote half of it to
study of the Bible, and divide the re-
naming thirty minutes, say between
astronomy, botany and geology. Do
this one year, and you will be sur
prised at what you have accomplished.
Then take care of your manners. The
manners of Americans are degenerat-
ing. There was time when a young
man would not offend a lady by putting
cigar smoke into her face. Now | see
it done on the street-cars every day.
Initiate the sweetness and gentleness
of Daniel. Be affable, suave, courteous.
and kind. Never utter a thoughtless
word that will pain. Start in life with
the principle: "Pl be a gentleman,

EVERY year the Temperance reform
grows older, not merely by 1.-The accre-
lions of time,'' but by the discoveries of
time. 1t appears that fully century
ago the following resolution was of
fered in the old Continental Congress:
"Resolved, That it be recommended to the
several Legislatures of the United States I'M
mediately to pass laws the most effectual to
put an immediate stop to the pefnicious prac-
tice of distilling, from which the most extern
sive evils are likely to be derived, unless
quickly prevented
DIR. A. S. LOOMS is reported to
have said, accordin.gto the Canada Lam
Get, that he believes that fifty per cent.
of all diseases arise from the use of
stimulants. He says that man can
take two or three glasses of stimulants
daily, and may continue the habit for,
perhaps, twenty-five years without
harm but when he reaches that period
of life when the vital powers are on the
decline he suddenly finds himself old
before his time.
AN ex-saloon-keeper once said to us:
'.Saloon-keeping is the meanest bust
ness a white man ever engaged in. "
That was a sweeping statement, but
upon reflection, we are afraid to deny
it. What is meaner than corrupting
the morals of youth and age, destroy
ing the health of people, demonizing
them, killing them by degrees, and at
the same time pauperizing and disgrace
ing innocent women and children. If
there is anything meaner than this, the
world has no record OF it. The ex-
saloon-keeper was right.-Natiofaat
Presbyterian.
The San Francisco Pacific controverts
the prevailing idea that general use
of light wines prevents intemperance.
1t says: ''Our impression is that the
lowest, slowest, most illiterate, most
unimpressible, most unimproyable, if
not vicious, population outside of the
great cities is found in the oldest wine
districts of this State, and that the use
of the product of vineyards has seen
the most active cause of this condition
of the population" Further, the use
of wine has not diminished the con-
sumption of distilled LIQUORS or beer,
but on the contrary has increased it
by creating an appetite for stronger
drinks.
