The Misunderstanding Social Side.
The impression seems to be very general
that Mrs. Cleveland will add a great deal
towards making the social side of the ad-
ministrati0n popular. The President has
shown himself to be fully capable of man.
aging political affairs. but has been rather
a failure in social matters. When he be-
came PRESIDENT he had not given much
attention to society. A few bachelor
friends were a source of more pleasure to
him than any number of balls, parties
and receptions. Even his sister, Miss
Rose Cleveland, who undertook to manage
the White House for him, was not ex-
actly suited to the duties she undertook
to perform. While she did her part con-
scientously, and finally succeeded in
making herself quite a favorite, her
thoughts were with her books and the
life of study which she abandoned at her
brothers. call for assistance.
The w mite House receptions and din
ners, if reports are to be credited, were
not popular affairs last winter. People
who were invited to them attended be-
cause of the honor, rather than for the
pleasure, connected with them.
1t is expected that Mrs. Cleveland's
presence will be followed by a marked
change. 1t is stated that she is lady of
excellent attachments, strong character,
and fine appreciation of the social po-
sition which she occupies, with plenty OF
ability to assist in advancing the Presi-
dents interests. She has the power to
help her husband very materially in get
ting denomination, and it would not be
at all surprising il she knew how to use
it to the best advantage.
In future the companion of the Presi-
dent in all his walks and drives will not
be his private secretary. His wife Will
be his companion, and it is probable that
the smile Of contentment will rest upon
his face oftener than heretofore.

The Tichhorne CIaimant.

The people of this country are soon to
hear the celebrated TichbOrne story retold
by the man known as Arthur Orton, Tho
claimed the Tichborne estate, and who,
after a long trial, was declared to be a
fraud and sentenced to a term in prison.
Arthur orion is called the claimant" in
England, and there are many people in
that country who believe that he Is Sir
Roger Tlchborne, the heir of the Tichborne
estates.
This claimant is now in this country
for the purpose OF lecturing. His lee
ture, doubtless, will not be worth near
ing, as it will, in all probability, be a re-
hash of his testimony in the Tichborne
case. There was some interest in the
case in this country when it was on trial,
but there are too many interesting cases
OF the present day to waste time over the
details OF case that lost its interest
many years ago.
1t would not be surprising IL the "claim-
anti failed to make his expenses lectur-
ing. He will probably find himself out Of
pocket when ne completes his tour. The
people Of this country are ready 10 pa

The Code of Honor

From the RdIeigb ". o. Ncns.
The old code of honor mas played out. 1t
had its use in its DAY as a corrective OF the
frailties of too bumptiOus nature, and doubt
less was not an lXed evil. But. however
that may be, IL mas gone to its grave unwept,
unhonOred, and unsung 1t would be well,
however, to supply the place made vacant by
the falling into innOcuous desuetude Of that
institution for the settling of differences be-
tween gentlemen, by the erection Of court
of honor, to which gentlemen may submit al
legged grievances, they agreeing TO be bound
by Its decision. Most cases Of difference are
capable of being settled by such an appeal.
For instance. suppose that three gentlemen in
each Judicial circuit in the State should be
designated by common consent as fit persons
to constitute a court for the adjustment of
such delicate business. We could suggest the
names of three gentlemen in this district to
whom we suppose almost any man, no matter
how sOlcitous he may be about his honor,
would he willing to defer. The same might
be done for every judicial district, and instead
OF the principals under the code putting their
honor In the hands of one man, they would,
by acknowledging the court of honor, conhde
ii to the keeping OF three.

TIC MAXWELL Verdict.

Maxwell, the st. Louis murderer, whose
case mas attracted so much attention in
this country and England, appears TO be
quite cheerful since his conviction OF the
crime of murder. His cheerfulness. how
ever, is not due 10 conscious innocence,
but to the belief that he is long way yet
from the scaffold. He has faith in the
statement of his counsel that the Supreme
Court of Missouri. to which an appeal
will be taken, will order new trial in his
case. Even if it does not it may he year
before the case can be heard, and Max
well does not believe in trying to cross
river until he reaches it.
Some remarkable things occur in jury
rooms, and the occurrences in the room
which the Maxwell jury occupied was
not an exception. On the first ballot only
nine men were for verdict Of murder
in the first degree, and the leader of the
three was the foreman, who was admitted
to be the ablest Of all the jurYmen. 1t
was believed that if the foreman could be
won over to the side OF those who favored
conviction there would be no difficulty in
reaching a verdict at once,
The eloquent jurymen, and those who
Dragged of their logical way of hand
ling "A subject, attacked the foreman
with the hope of convincing him
that Maxwell ought to be hung. They
didn't succeed, and finally a sallow, slim
youth to whom no one had paid any atten-
ton said that he would undertake the diff
licult task of bringing the foreman over to
the right side. He was laughed at, but
was permitted to have his way.
He didn't talk much. Maxwell
In his testimony had testified
that he was 80 alarmed when he found
that the chloroform he had given Preller
had killed him, that in great haste he cut
the clothes from the body with a pair of
curve-baded scissors preparatory to pack
ing 1t in the trunk. The sallOw young
juryman took the same scissors that Max
well used, and having been provided with
a SUIT OF Undertaking exactly like that
which Preler wore, he showed that Max
well's story about the way he cut Prel-
ler's underclothing from his body was
wholly false. His demonstration was so
satisfactory that the foreman and the
other Two jurors at once voted for YER
dict of guilty. 1t is easier to tell the
number that will draw the capital prize
in a lottery than 1t is to point out the evil
dence that Will determine the verdict Of
a Jury,

The stick that was a snake.


gentleman farmer who accompanied the
late Ohio farmers excursion to Georgia tells
a good snake story. and 10 willing To qualify
to its absolute truth. He says that while
hunting on Stone Mountain. twenty miles
from Atlanta. he met with Il "chan snake
as 1t is called by the natives of that region.
and it is believed to be found in that STATE
only. About O'Clock in the afternoon as he
was coming down the mountain, and as he
was ABOUT 10 step over a small stream which
came tumbling down the mountain. his foot
came in contact with what he supposed to be
a deac branch OF tree. The supposed tWig
at once flew into dozen pieces. and one
among the number across the little stream
Up to this point there was nothing that dis
tingushed il from dead twig. 1t looked
ike STICK, acted ike stick and no per-
ceivaOle characteristic to distinguish it from
n stick. However, while standing still mo-
ment looking for the most desirable point to
step over the stream he soon discovered what
he supposed TO be dead stick showed that il
poss ssed the power OF self movement II
slowly entered into his mind that there were
queer things In the empire state Of the
SOUTH and that this was one of them.
Each Of the half dozen pieces showed signs
of life and began slowly to move about. some
stood on end; others moved about and as
they came in contact fastened thcmselves
together, commencing at what he afterward
found TO be the tail. The tail piece erected
Itself, the next piece came Waiting to IL, and

each piece jumping To Its proper place and
adjusting Itself with click aud a snap. Il
now began 70 assume the form OF a common
snake. IL had no head, but otherwise looked
and acted Ike snake, wriggling around
among the broken rocks, standing on end and
acting as though Il was on the hunt for some

Hydrophobia and Inauguration.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
I see one OF the members of the American
Medical Association said that hydrophobia
was essentially disease of the IMAGINATION.
l happen to know Of an interesting case n
point. The principal to it was John Nickel
yer. prominent citizen of Detroit, and for
merly state Statistcian Of Ohio. In mis- early
years he held an English government position
at Bombay. One day pet monkey about the
house bit him on the thumb. A few days later
he learned to his unspeakabte horror that the
animal had died of hydrOphObia-a common
disease among them. He hurried at once to Il
doctor, who told him fraRkly that time could
alone decide his fate. The days OF lndescrlD-
able suspense and mental torment rolled on,
when one morning he awoke with sharp,
singing pains in his back and arms. That,
he knew, was the premOnitory symptom, and
he prepared for the end. First he wrote
letter to his wife in England, telling her that
he was called away upon important secret
business from which it was pOss BILE he might
never return, and gave some brief directions
for the settleme ut of his estate. This he left
in his desk with Instructions to forward it in
case he was not back in three months and
then lett for Singapore. from which point he
shipped as a common sailor in vessel bound
for the Chinese trade. 1t Was soon discovered
that he knew nothing about sailing, and the
CAPTAIN, swearing several elaborate Malay
oaths set him TO scruObing the deck. As fast
as he got il scru bbed he set him to crubblng
1t over again.
MckelV er set about the task with the logged
indifference Of despair. ALI day long he
scrubbed, and for days and days, wondering
why the pain in his back and arms got no
worse One morning he awoke in his mlser
able cot to find the pain gone. His hver had
simply been out of order, and the scrubhing
was just what was needed to regulate 1t. He
sprang up new man. The sky never looked
SO blue nor the sun 30 bright, aud he began to
sing as he scrubbed the deck back and forth.
Day by gay he felt better and better, and
scrubbed the deck more times than he had
ever been able to before. He absolutely en-
joyed it. When the ship arrived he told the
captain his story, and shipped back As clerk.
1t was about SIX weeks after when he reached
home and the first thing he did was to tear
up the letter in his desk. The hydrophObia
horrors have never troubled him since, but he
crosses the street at Detroit If a savage look
ing dog happens to get in his way.
