THOSE reportorial fiends, who have
been so industliously prying into the
welded secrets of President Cleveland,
have taken tumble to themselves, and
ceaeed to labor for news in that direc.
ton. But they will not stop entirely.
Now they are busily engaged in holding
open the presidential pocket book to an
astonished and awestricken public
The wires inform us that Grover has got
nearly $4,000 slowed away in his old
stocking. Now what is this country
coming to! A president with S75, 600
in his stocking, and all-every cent of
this ownl Nowonder times are close
and money hard to got. When apresi-
dent gots to DO a purse-proud money
king, it's time to call halt. Now, so
far as we are concerned, we are rather
glad that the old man has saved such a
sum. We arc glad to see him prosper.
But, in the present chaotic state of
affairs, we don't think it's exactly safe.
If we had such q neat little wad on ex-
hibilion, we would think three or four
times before we would trust it to the
tender mercies of lot of newspaper
men, ard then wouldn't do it. They
are perfectly safe and reliable and all
that. o. course, but when they come to
interview us on the subject OF our
wealth, We shall quietly put our old |
stocking away under the box of 'pi,"
and talk to 'em. 1t is safer, Grover,

We are rejoiced TO hear from you
James, and hope you are feeling ittl'
better than when you wrote. Coopet
up in our musty Office as we are, it has
been long since we have experienced Sc
much freshness, SO much sweet and
soulful inspiration, as is contained in
your little note. There is certain
singular charm about your writing,
James, which absolutely thrills US. Il
is infectious, and makes US dream Of
green folds and hay-seed, and wish
that we had died long ago ere all OF
this happened: Your letter has done
US all much good. Even that stony
hearted person, the printer, shed a few
scattering tears as we laid your little
letter on the case before him. He said
it made him think of the days when he
was young and tender, and inexper-
fenced in the wiles of this sordid world,
and, perhaps, trlile green withal.
When his young spirit also yearned
with great yearn to burst asunder its
prison bars, and yell for freedom and
the wide, wide West. He is slowly re-
covering, James, and thinks he will

Your poem, dear James, is ell that
could be expected. We only publish
part OF it, as our readers are not used to
such treats and couldn't stand it all at
once, you know. They viii probably
be able to guess at the rest.
No, we could not furnish you steady
as Deputy Editor on this
journal, but we would be glad to have
you write to US every day. There is
something soothing about your style,
James, and besides, we always have use

James.

A. II. Stewards Widow.

A New York letter to the San Fran.
cisco Argonaut has the following
Some days ago, walking past that
marble palace on Thirty Fourth street
and Fifth avenue, L had a glimpse of
Mrs. A. L. Stewart, the first for years.
Poor old lady! One look at her is as
good as a sermon on the folies of this
life. Her coupe, gorgeous in gilded
trappingS and satin cushions, was
standing at the curb and, just as |
passed, the great white hall doors
were thrown open with flourish and
out she came. Against a long vista
of marble columns and shining floors,
she began to creep slowly down the
stairs, leaning heavily on the arm of
her major-domo. That major-domo
by the way is wonderful old crea-
ture. He looks like a creation of
Trollope's, and always dresses in de-
cent black, with black velvet skull
cap on his long silvery hair, and his
gold-tipped wand of Office in his hand.
He led Mrs. Stewart with fatherly
care down the long fright of steps
then at the bottom delivered her into
the hands of two gigantic footmen,
who supported her to the carriage,
while maid followed. her blooming
face peeping out from under a mass
of shawlS and air-cushiOns. That the
widow of the merchant millionaire
is as fond as ever Of the pomps and
yanities is shown in her bIushing
cheeks, in the name of wild black
curls, bobbing into her eyes and pour.
ing in a jetiy cascade down her back
in her gown of black silk, stiff as
pasteboard, and covered with laces
and jet and red satin bows, dragging
its heavy length out behind her. 1t
looks, however, as if she could not
have much more time left wherein
to enjoy them. She was so feeble the
other day that her fOotmen had al
most to lift her into her carriage
then the maid came tripping to the
door and began putting her into
shape-punched up her cushions and
arranged her shawls, pulled the
gloves up over her tiny. trembling
hands, twitched her bonnet into place,
pulled down her veil, patted the bow
under her chin and settled her into
the carriage as one might settle an
extra expensive doll.
