visit to the Queen of Moravia, who had
taken refuge in France. She would
fly away and escape, as from prison
alone, for it was contrary to the tradi
tions that the heir-apparent should
travel without his father-to weep out
all her griefs ON her gray-haired moth
er's neck.
This time she had left without asking
permission, suddenly. only staying to
leave a rapid kiss on the sleeping
Wladislass forehead, for she was mad
with disgust and shame.
The debauchery of the king became
more notorious daily. He had wives
and families now in every town in
Bohemia, in every one of his hunting
boxes. He was a laughing-stoek every
where, and in the streets of Prague
they sang satirical verses, asking what
was to become of all this illegitimate
race, and whether Ottokar, like Angus
tus the Strong before him, would enroll
his bastards in a squadron OF guards OF
honor. To provide for the wants OF
his numerous progeny, the king turned
everything into money, and drained and
indebted the State The trade in
decorations was especially scandalous.
There was a tailor at Vienna who was
quoted as having made his fortune by
selling to amateurs of foreign orders,
certain dress-coat at 500 fiorins, with
the ribbon of the most illustrous order
of Bohemia, a military order that dated
back to the Thirty Years War, In its
buttonhole.

The New Cabinet.

On the 5th inst, President Cleve-
land named the following persons SIS
members Of his cabinet: Thomas L.
Bayard, Secretary of State, q lawyer
from Delaware. Mr.. Bayard's fami-
ly is en- old one and has furnished
number of politicians that have fig-
ured in state and national politics;
Daniel Manning, Secretary OF the
Treasury, is New York newspaper
man and banker, he too comes of rev.
olutionary stock, but his family have
not engaged extensively in politics;
Augustus II. Garland, the Attorney
General, IS from Arkansas, to which
state hs moved from Tennessee in
early life, he TOO, is of old American
stock but his people were not slave
holders, IS were the Bayards Lu-
Gins Q. G. Lamar, Secretary of the
Interior, is from Mississippi whele
he owned slaves before the war. He
is OF revolutionary stock; William
C. Endicott, Secretary of War, is
from Massachusetts, and is of Puri-
tan stock; William G. Whitney. Sec
retary of the Navy, is New Yorker.
but his peopls are of Puritan stock !;
William T. Villas, Post Master Gener-
al is from Wisconsin, but springs
from Vermont Puritan stock Il viii
thus be seen that Cleveland's Cabinet
is made up of Southern and Yankee
people. The Dutch, Irish, Scotch
Irish clement Of Pennsylvania was
left out Senator R:ddleberger, of
Virginia objected to the confrna-
ton of Bayard or the ground that
Bayard had expressed too much sym
pathy for England when the Dynam
tiers we're blowing up women in the
tower and house of parliament in
London.

Silver Coin.
New York Sun, March /.

New 1ork Sun, Marcn L.
The fundamental blunder of Mr..
Cleveland, and of those who agree
with him, is the assumption that be-
cause the silver dollar is worth only
eighfy-fve one hnndredths OF p gold
dollar it is depreciated and dishon-
est coin. 1t does not seem to occur
to them that perhaps the silver dollar
is still worth one hundred cents, but
that the gold dollar has grown to be
worth one hundred and fifteen cents.
Yet we have only to look at the prices
of all kinds of staple commodities TO
see that the so-called eighty-fi five cent
silver dollar Will buy as much as the
gold dollar bought ten years ago,
and that the maintenance of the gold
standard means a lowering of the
prices of everything that is bought
and sold by it. So far from a panic
and a depression being the result of
passing from the gold to the silver
standard, all experience proves that
the reverse would take place. Such
a continual fall in prices as we have
had for ten years past kills enterprise
and restricts trade to the limits of
absolute necessity. A rise in prices,
such as would follow their measure
ment in silver, would revive conf
dence and encourage trade Men
would see prospective profit in pur-
chases where they now see only a
loss; and they would buy freely
where they now buy stingily. If &C
tive trade is desirable at all, the way
to create it is by adopting the silver
standard and giving up all efforts to
maintain that of gold.

TIE Democracy insist on it, that
Cleveland is not given to excuses.
An Albany friend says of him: in
his life here in Albany Cleveland is
plain enough. He eats sparingly.
His cook is an ordinary servant, with
no French or other acco mplishnents.
The small and delicate Senator Ey-
arts, whom your correspondent hap
pened TO see in close contrast with
Cleveland during his call, swallows
as much in one dly as the bulkier
man does IN three. Whatever his
habits may have been IN Buffalo, he
certainly has not been known here
as a convivial bachelor. He keeps a
box Of cigars in his desk, and they
constitute the only refreshments com
monty offered to visitors. His pre-
decessors-Dix, Tilden and Cornell
always had wine galore, but he abol-
ished the closet for beverages.
