The SuItan's Pleasure Boat.

The pleasure boat presented to the Hon.
S. S. Cox by the sultan OF Turkey arrived
at the Natinal museum in a badly damaged
condition. If it were not desirable TO pre-
serve it as a curiosity there would be no
possible excuse for repairing it. In the
steamer coming over to New York, it was
crushed into a shapeless mass by the shift
ing of the cargo. 1t will take 81, 600 to re-
store the craft to anything like its original
shape and beauty. There is great deal Of
hand carving on it which can be replaced
only with great skill Yankee boatmen
who looked at the Turkish boat laugh good
deal at Oriental workmanship. The hull is
made of tulip wood, battened together on
the inside with small blocks of wood, and de-
luged with pitch The length of the boat
when whole was 80 feet, and its weight $40
pounds Mr.. Cox has given the boat to
the National museum, and Professor Baird
expects in few weeks to have it launched
into his already large collection of boats Of
all nations. s.-New York Sun.

THE PRESIDENTS DAILY LIFE.
How He Eats, Sleeps and Works-His
Daily Dinner and Cigar.

President Cleveland Is very plain and
simple in ell his habits. He rises at 7:3O
4. M. dresses and shaves himself, and is
ready for breakfast at 3. He breakfasts en-
famiile, and finishes his morning repast in
less than thirty minutes. His breakfast
usually consists of oatmeal, becfsteak, hot
cakes and eggs. He is very fond OF fruit,
and eats freely Of it. He leaves the break
fast table and goes directly TO his Office, and
begins work without any exercise whatever,
writing letters and looking over papers until
10 O'Clock, when the callers begin to ar
rive. He then has siege Of couple OF
hours with the statesmen and Office seekers,
which lasts until 1870 O'Clock, when he is
ready for his luncheon. He eats this in
less than fifteen minutes, and, like his every
day breakfasts and dinners, it is eaten in
the private dining room, and the whole
family sit down together President Cleve-
lands lunch consists of bread and butter
cold meats, little fruit, and cup Of tea.
After he has eaten it, he goes directly
back TO his Office, and works steadily until a.
AT this time he goes out TO drive, in COM
pany with his private secretary, Col La
mont He returns in time for dinner, which
is ready at 7 O'Clock. He does not dress
for dinner in the conventional style, except
when he has guests present who will APP
pear in evening dress. His private dinners
are plain. Wine is served only when there
are guests present who are accustomed to
drinking wine with their meals. He is not
so fond of beer as has been reported by the
newspapers, the total White House con-
sumption os this article during the past
year being not more than two dozen bot
ties The presidents daily dinner consists
of five or six courses; first there is a soup,
then fish, then a roast followed By game,
dessert, fruit, and, after dinner, coffee. He
does not sit long at table, and Immediately
on leaving it he goes up into the corridors
of the second story of the White House
and smokes a cigar, after which he goes
back to his work President C.ovfland
never smokes in his Office, and the only
smoking he does is this solitary pcstpran
dial cigar He goes to bed about midnight,
and falls asleep as soon as he touchs the pill
low His system is such that six or seven
hours sleep is sufficient for him. Frank e.

FROM WASHINGTON.

The President has approved the urgent
deficiency bill for the public printing and
binding for the current year.
The Secretary of the Treasury has ap-
pointed James F. Wash, prominent
member of Tammany, to be assistant
Inspector Of hulls at New York.
Mrs. Whitman gave luncheon Wednes-
day to Miss Herbert, OF Virginia. The
centre of the table was gorgeous with
large bouquet Of jacqueminot roses, and
before separating each young lady re-
ceived few of the fragrant flowers.
1t was decided at the cabinet meeting
yesterday afternoon that the executive
departments shall be closed a half day
on the dav before Christmas and on the
day before New Year. The heads Of the
departments issued orders yesterday after
noon to that effect.
The adjournment of Congress for the
holidays enables Congressman TO devote
more time TO visiting the departments
and suggesting various matters to the
officials for the improvement Of the public
service This is to be effected principally
by infusing new blood in the clerical force.
Among the p, idents callers yester-
day were Senator Frye, Beck, VOORHEES,,
and ex-senator Mcdonald, Cockrell, Coke,
Maxey, and Kenna, Representatives Low
ry, Seney, Morrison, Lowering, Merriman,
Morgan, Il. Taylor, Green, Barnes, Toole,
and Reagan, Judge Doolittle and son, eX-
Mayor Banks, of Albany, and Captain
John McCafferty collector of Alaska.
The probability of the Fftieth Con-
gress being convened in extra session at
an early day in the spring is being dis
cussed among public men, Unless the
present Congress shall provide some
means of relieving the Treasury from the
steadily increasing surplus, it is the belief
of some prominent Democrats that the
next Congress will be called together to
perform that task.

PIrTsBURG, December 23.-A Homes

The Mexican Revolutions.

1t is amusing TO any one who has lived in
Mexico TO read the accounts of the Mexican
revolutions. What would be called a saloon
fight in st. Louis would be denominated a
revolution 10y the Americans if it occurred
in Mexico. / never saw a more harmless
thing in my life than the much talked Of
Mexican revolution. / lived through one
that lasted for two years, and during the
whole time there were only two men
killed; yet the daily maneuvers Of the so
called armies were telegraphed all over this
country If one goes to Mexico and takes
occasion to call the inhabitants "greasers"
and other unpleasant epithets his career
will be short but interesting; or if he car
ries no letters to respectable people, or in
some other way meets them through mu-
tual acquaintance who can vouch for him.
he will receive no recognition and rather
poor treatment; but the acquaintance Of
one good family opens all doors to him, and
within them all he will be treated royalty

He Breaks His Chains and Causes Trouble.
LYNCHBURG, VA, December 23.-Tues-
day night John l.. Lee, young lawyer
at Amherst Courthouse, was startled by
loud shrieks, apparently from the court
house lawn. Supposing them to come
from some drunken parties, he did not
90 Immediately to look after the matter.
The cries continuing and increasing, he
rushed out in his shirt sleeves and,proceed-
ed to the Jail, where the noise came from,
and found one of the cells on fire and
three prisoners well nigh suffocated.
Lee entered the cell with buckets of
water, and with the assistance Of h. ,.
Morrill,, who had by this time arrived, ex-
tinguished the flames. 1t seems there was
lunatic named Isaiah Carroll confined
in the CELL who was so dangerous that
he was chained to the floor, and two col
ored boys had been confined in the same
cell with him. After the boys had extin-
guished the lamp for the night, the insane
prisoner managed to break good sized
iron chain with which he was fastened,
and turned over the stove with its red hot
contents on the floor, set fire to the straw
mattresses, and got the whole cell in
flames. He then, with the stovepipe and
such other weapons as were at hand,
made an attack on the boys, whom he in
jured considerably. The boys defended
themselves as best they could, and finally
one of them got a stick of tirewood and
with a well-directed blow knocked the
lunatic down Mr.. Lee arrived in time
to save all three from being burned to
death
