MIR. Cleyelanti's Manner.

A writer in the Philadelphia Press
relates that he sat for half an hour
the other day in the Presidents
reception room, an oval apartment,
panelled with dark red velvet paper,
and hung with the portraits OF his pre-
decessors. Graceful arranged baskets
of flowers filled the room with perfume.
and through the wide open windows
came the twitterings of the sparrows.
The agreeable coloring Of the room,
the bright sunlight which fell upon the
walls, and the warmth of the atmos-
phere gave one the impression of sum-
mer. The President receives his yisi-
tors standing in the centre of the room,
his feet firmly planted, his arms akimbo,
and sup ported by his wrists, while his

behind him. He stood directly in the
sunlight, and was surprised to notice
that his eyes were of positive blue,

the calm and undisturbed response.

me to remember everybody. In

And, with look made Of all sweet accord,

Senator Hearet.

George Hearst, the new senator from
California, has had an eventful history
He went to California across the plains
in 1850, and commenced as common
laborer in the mines. Finally he made
some money and formed a partnership
with Haggin u Tcvis, and the firm has
amassed a large fortune in jumping and
buying mining claims. They now own
one Of the largest and most profitable
mines in Butte City, Mon, and also
mines in Arizona. Colorado, Oregon,
Mexico, Idaho and California.
Mr.. Hearst is considered the most cx-
pert prospector on the Pacific coast,
and his judgment as to q mine has
never vet been at fault. He is a tall,
wcll-formed man about fifty-five years
old. He was candidate for Governor
Of California in 1882, but Gen. Stone
man secured the nomination from the
San Jose convention and was elected.
At tho time of Gen. StanfOrd's election
in 1885, Mr.. Hearst received the COM
plimentary votes Of the Democrats.
He is very wealthy man. and among
his real estate owns 10000 acres of the
finest lands in the State, situated in
San Luis Obispo. He is the sole own
er of the San Francisco Examiner.
