MISS VAN VECHTEN.
The Young Lady of Albany to Whom
the President is said tn he
Engaged.

Engaged.
Boston Herald.
The story comes from Albany that
President Cleveland is engaged to marry
Miss Van Vechten, young lady who
may justly lay claim to being the social
leader OF the capitol of New York. The
lady u tall and most beautiful in face
and figure and she has many charms and
graces Of manner. The circle in which
she moves is one Of the most exclusive
in the United States. The high society
OF Albany is unquestionably the most
difficult to penetrate of any in the coun.
try and Miss Van Vechten is its central
star. She lives in splendid house that

utive mansion. where Mr.. Cleveland,
when he was in Office. could without diff.
ficulty have looked into Mi.s Van vech-
tens window. The lady has rich com.
plsxion, dark eyes and wealth of way.
ing brown hair. There is quite strik.
ing resemblance between her and Miss
Jennie Chamberlin, the beautiful Cleve-
land girl, whose personal attractiveness
has been the talk of Europe for Il year or
two back. When Mr.. Cleveland was
Governor Of New York, he frequently
met Miss Van Vechten at the various re.
ceptions which occurred at the executive
mansion and elsewhere in Albany, and
he exhibited marked preference for her
society. It il, indeed, said that he took
every possible occasion to be at her side,
and it is now noticed that she is spending
great deal Of her time in Washington,
where few, II any, Of the social gather.
ings of:which the President is feature
are allowed to 90 by without her pres.
ence.

WHY SHE wEPT.

Twas at a country party
One pleasant night in May;
The hours were swiftly passing
In harmless mirth and play,
And every one seemed joyous
Save one poor little maid,
Who far from all the others
Her dallying steps had staid.
Her eyes were brightest azure,
Her hair like finest silk
And in her face the roses
Were mingled with the milk.
Her cherry lips were trembling,
And full of deepest pain
Was her sweet face, as slowly
She wiped tear again.
Had some one dared to slight her
And cause her this distress2
Or had she seen her lover
Some other lass caress?
My heart was torn with pity,
1 hastened to her side.
"Oh. tell me, beauteOus maiden,
What is thy grief - l cried.
HAS some one whom thou lowest
Proved to thee unkind,
That on thy face so lovely
The trace of tears ] find2"
She raised her eyes to scan me,
And in voice most sweet,
ssLR, no" she said and smpered,
''My new shoes hurt my feetP'

FROEDE AND MARY CARLYLE.

Mr. Frouue's statement, In YESTERDAYS cable
dispatch to THE TRIBUNE, rs to the disposition
of the money which the sale of Carlyle's
"reminiscences brought him is such as TO clear
him from the charge of want of consideration
for Mary Carlyle. According to his represent
alton. in fact, he behaved to her with re-
markable generosity, and this Notwithstanding
the exhibition on her side of grasplng and
thankless disposition. But there were special
reasons why the editor of Carlyle's Reminls-
cences should have been disnclned to profit
personally by the publication, and perhaps Mr..
Froude will have cause to congratulate himself
hereafter for the magnanimous impulse which
at all events shields him from the suspicion OF
mercenary motives. OF course his present
statement has no bearing upon the question of
the taste, Judgment and loyalty shown in his
editorial labors, and this is after all the only
phase of the subject which possesses any
general interest His arrangements with Mary
Carlyle may have certain attraction for the
curious, but it is his relation to Thomas Carlyle
that the world is chiefly concerned with.
Mr.. Froude in expressing the opinion that he
has been "abominably treated" and expects to
be so treated in the future, refers evidently to
the criticisms upon his editorial work rather
than to The alleged ingratitude of Mary Carlyle.
He appears to be quite convinced that he did
the best that was possible for his old friend
and there is no occasion to question the
sincerity of his belief This, however, only
emphasizes his unitness for the task he under
took, just as the confidence Of a color blind
person in the integrity of his Wis ion emphasizes
his unlitness for the position of signal IMAM.
