George Hearst, the new senator from
California, has had an eventtul history.
He went to California across the plains
in 1850, and commenced as a common
laborer in the mines. Finally he made
some money and formed a partnership
with Haggin & Tevis, 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.
MI. Hearst is considered the most ex-
pert prospector on the Pacific coast,
and his judgment as to q mine has
never vet been at fault. He is a tall,
w~ell-formed man about ffty-fve 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, MI. Hearst received the COM
plimentary votes of the Democrats.
He is q very wealthy man, and among
Lis real estate owns 10000 acres of the
finest lands in the State, situated in
San Luis Obispo. He is the sole own
or Of the San Francisco Examiner.

reading it fairly through, we confess
nj pocket stirred within us. More at
first than afterward-for, upon. ,ref1ec-.
ton, we became doubtful whether the
writer were not old and blue it was
so exceedingly well done! We have
half a suspicion now that some old
maid, in spectacles-some regular con-
tributor to Cooley or Graham who
has tried to inveigle us through our

All this appeared in the mirror of
June 8, 1874. In the issue of that
paper for toe 29th, the return sketch,
entitled 1.-The Cousins" was announced

came tripping along to its readers, a

which have been printed, it would ap-
pear that she derived little, if any,
direct pecuniary profit from these
articles; but she gained what was more
important for her at the time, encour-
pgement and reputation. Willis had
remarkable talent in drawing out the
abilities of correspondents, and equal
tact in gaining the attention of the pub
lie. When the daily ''Evening Mirror"
succeeded to the weekly ''New Mirror
he solicited her assistance on the terms
indicated in the following passage of
one of the letters:

The compensation vas given. Fanny
Forester suddenly became famous;
her writings were in demand; and she

Lunch is served regularly at 2 o'clock.
Her Majesty possesses an excellent APP

great measure to this, and she insists

lack of regularity in eating. exercise,

Her Majesty dimes at 9 o'clock and re-

Almost every evening there are guests
at the royal dinner: They belong for
the most part to the royal household.
The Rev. Mr.. Prothero and wife are
frequently favored in this respect. MIR.

Victoria and Princess Beatrice were
married.
Her Majesty has a great regard for
the pastor of Wifingham, and not long
ago, accompanied by Princess Beatrice,
she attended the marriage of Mr.. Pro-
thero's daughter and went forward
and congratulated the newly-married
lady at the end of the ceremony.
From time to time there are private
concerts given at the palace to which
only the favored few are invited. fer
Majesty and Princess Beatrice do not
live in such close relations as they did
previous to the latter marriage. The
Queen is always attended by the Prin-
cess on her promenades, whether rid
ing or walking, but at all other times
the Princess occupies her time in her
own apartments in reading, painting,
and music generally.
There is continual coming and going
of visitors, to say nothing of the Minis
tiers, who suffer considerably in visiting
her Majesty at such a distance from
London. All her Majesty's children
and their immediate families and friends
are frequent visitors at Osborne House
with the exception of the Duke of Edin-
borough and his wife. The Duchess,
the daughter of the late Car of Rus
STA, has never become reconciled to
her Majesty after their disputes on the
question of precedence, and the Duke
naturally sympathizes with his wife,
and shows it by his studied absence.

And, with a look made Of all sweet accord,
Answered, 1.-The James of those who love

"And is mine one9" said Abou. "Nay, not
so,"
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still; and said II pray thee,
then, -
Write me as one who loves his fellow men,"
The angel wrote, and vanished. The next

And showed the names whom love of God

the frost was nipping hot. A horse
belonging to q city official was hitched
to post on the west side of the City
Hall, and although he was covered with
a buffalo robe anu q blanket he hump

hid a look of disgust on his face.
Presently a bootblack came along.
At some time in this boys life he had
touched his tongue to a lamp post on =

within q foot of the iron post made
him forget the cutting wind and the
cold flag stones. He vas chewing away
on a big hunk of molasses candy. He
removed it from his mouth and held it
to the horses nose, Out came the
animals tongue for 4 lick, and the boy
then rubbed the hunk over the top Of

Mr.. CleVeland'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 n the impression of sum-
mer. The President receives his visi-
tors standing in the centre of the room,
his feet firmly planted, his arms akimbo,
and sup ported by his wrists, while his
white, short hands tapped ~impatiently
behind him. He stood directly in the
sunlight, and l was surprised to notice
that his eyes were of a positive blue,
his complexion more pink-and-white.
than sallow, as generally described,
and by the fact that his face proper,
Notwithstanding the high forehead, is
really a short one
The surplus flesh beginning below
the ears inceases rapidly as it ap-
proaches the chin, where it bulges to
such an extent that it adds fully one
third more to the absolute length of
his face. His hair, brushed smoothly
and fatty back and distributed over
the large bald space, suggests one of
Col. McClure's treble-leaded editorials.
at the same time a determination to
endure with equanimity these demand
upon his time, which in his own lam
guage, are part of the hard work os
his position.
AS l listened to the conversation, I
wa struck with his utter want of tact,
which must cost him many friends and
make him many foes. For example,
hi, secretary, Mr.. Lamont, presented to
him a strong and well-known political
supporter from the West, delicately in
timating that, of course he would re-
member the gentleman, as he had had
interviews with him on important
topics before. The president replied:
''Well, really, l sec so many
people that it's impossible for
me to remember everybody. In
fact, I'm not apt to remember anybody
unless they make IN impression on me-
This remark so discounted the West
ern supporter that he evidently forgot
what he was about to say. when n of
Cleveland's Aatterers remarked: "'You
are noted for your marvellous memory,
Mr.. President" he replied:
That's all nonsense; my memory is
very capricious. I constantly find that
some trfling detail, such as regards a
Post Office in little town, or the par
don of some poor fellow, is stamped
upon my mind while more important
matters escape me. Indeed my men,
DRY is entirely q question of the mood
happen to be in when the facts are pre-
ented, or whether the mood of PIES
s%entatiOn interests me-
Consequently my recollection of
small events frequently gives the i'm
pressicny that I have q remarkable
memory, when, in fact, is just what [
have not, though I do believe that if I
had no other distractions l could Gull
tivate the power of remembering peo-
pie, names, and things to perfection.
In fact, all the persons l have known
who were neted for their ability in
this line have simply made a business
of it."
