Mrs. CIeyeIand's Influence.

The presidents young wife has more
influence over him than most people
readily imagine. Not long ago youn g
man went to Washignton and through
the influence of fast company, became en-
gagged in a criminal transaction. 1t was
his first offence The law officers, how
ever, hunted him down aud he was tried
and convicted. Owing to certain ext en-
uating circumstances, the presiding judge
did not send him to the peIitentiary, but
sentenced him to eleven months and
twenty shine days in the Jail of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
No sooner had thu sentence been pro-
nOunced. says the correspondent of the
Boston Ird0e5ler, than his best friend, his
mother, went to Washington from her
home hoping to secure a pardon for her
erring boy. She was venerable white
haired old lady, with a sweet. but sad
face, and she worked night ana day for the
object which she sought to attain.
One morning she went over To the
White house and saw Mrs. Cleveland
the mothers sorrow touched the tender
heart of the young v ife, for she was fully
convinced of the absolute truthfulness
of the story of the sons downfall. After
the two ladies had talked the matter over.
Mrs. Cleveland told the mother to wait
q few moments while she laid the case
before the president. Mr.. Cleveland was
busy, as he always is in daytime. but he
had plenty of leisure to listen to the plea
of one in whom he had reposed conf
dence for the remainder of his life. The
wife argued the case with the skill of q

A Cheap Spree.


R. B. Hayes was delegate at the re-
cent conference of charities and correc
ton which was held in this city AS he
sat in the senate chamber of the state
capitol, his hair and beard white and his
face more wrinkled and careworn than
when he, in connection with his wife,
occupied the White house at Washington,
numerous spectators at the gathering had
him pointed out to them and gazed on
him with some curiosity. Among the
number was an ex-army officer. The
latter looked long and intently at the late
occupant of the executive mansion.
That's the man, said the military
man. He looks it, too"
Looks what?' inquired hystander
Looks like man who would see
another fellow suffer for his own short
comings and never saw word in his de>
tense. When he was fraudulent presi-
dent, | suppose YOU remember, it was
known as cold water administration.
No wine or liquor was allowed on the
White house table. Many believed that
Mr.. Hayes, or his wife, was moved by a
desire to set good example, Others in
GLIDING those people who know Mr..
Hayes very well, thought that move was
on the score of economy. Hayes was
not total abstinence man, but was,
and probably is now, in the habit of
drinking on the sly. While at Washing
ton he was in the habit of visiting an old
college chum. who was stationed there
in the ordnance branch of the army, aud

dent to help himself, and. so far as is
known. the president never failed to ac-
cept the invitation"
On one Of these visits the Fraudulent
President took more than he could hold,
and the result was that he became tipsy
so much so, in fact, that his host felt
called upon to escort him back to the
White House. On arriving at the private
entrance, the escort and his tipsy charge
started up stairs, when Mrs. Hayes met

the army officer for assisting her husband
home, but intimated that if left alone,
Mr., Hayes would not touch anything,
thereby forcing the conclusion that the
officer was the cause of the whole trou>
BILE. MIR. Hayes said nothing, but went
straight to his room and got himself in
shape for the transaction OF public bust
ness. He did not explain anything in
the morning, but permitted his old friend
to suffer the odium of having led him
from the narrow and economical paths of
Temperance.

The Record of Congress.

With the exception of the defeat of the
tariff measure introduced by the commits
tee on ways and means, the record of the
house OF representatives has, on the
whole, been more satisfactory than that
of previous sessions, remarks the Chicago
TtIegram OF vicious legislation there
has been none, unless the oleOmargarine
bill he counted in that category That
bill was passed with good motive, but
missed the remedy for the fraud it was
intended to curb by becoming tax bill
In the passage of the surplus resolu>
tion, the house showed itself to be actu-
ated By motives of fair dealing aud in
much of its other work has indicated a
desire to benefit the people. II pissed
the Reagan bill. and several bills for the
forfeiture of land grants and the protec-
ton of the public domain. all of which
were defeated by the corporation attor-
news who compose the senate.
The sins of the lower house are prin =
cipally those of omission, and the most
serious charge to be made against it is its
neglect TO push to hearing the measures
for the further suppression of polygamy
in the territories, matter of vast impor,
lance to the morals Of The country.
The appropriations as passed by the
house have been marked by economy and
no job of any character has received the
endorsement of the lower house Altos
gether, the session of the house, while
unpro luctIye of any great reform, has
been more free from anything bearing the
semblance of scandal than any session
held for many years.

dents reasons for signing the oleomargar-
inc bill as given in his message 10 the

industry that can stand it, at the same
time it forces butter limitations to stand
on their own merits and forces due regard
for the peoples health in their manufacture
1t is hoped, also, that having placed tax
on this product congress will in consistency
take the tax off some other things, and
thereby relieve the people of a burden
