The president replied at some length,
expressing his gratitude at the welcome.
After referring to the extent and diver

have sometimes thought If good share
of the time spent in learning how much
we love our country was devoted to ac-
quiring more intrinsic knowledge of its
beauties and advantages, both our citi-

shall return to my post of duty better
able to serve you and my fellow citi-
zens" The speech was greeted with
most vociferous applause.
President Cleveland resumed his seat,
but the applause continued, and at
length Mr.. @. H, Jones suggested that
the people desired to see Mrs. Cleve-
land. When the president led her for.
ward there was perfect tempest OF
cheering. The ladies and gentlemen on
the platform were then introduced to
the president and Mrs. Cleveland and
others of the party, after which all re.
turned TO the hotel. The inspection OF
the exposition was deferred until in the
morning. A public reception was held
tonight in the hotel.

CHINESE NAMES.

Some PecuIIarities OF Nomenclature
Among the PIg-TaiIed Mongo-
lians.
The Chinaman's ways are peculiar,
in nothing more than in naming. Ac-
cordiug to the period of life he is in, so
is the name of Chinaman, for he does
not start away with a name from the
beginning of his days and continue to
bear il to the end thereof. At first the
child hears the name of his father. but
the distinguishing mark varies accord
to the province. At Pekin, for ex-
ample the children of the same family
are numbered, and describing Chang
they would say ''0ld Chang" Second
Chang" etc. Thus Changes two sons,
if the oldest be Chang Honest, the sec
ond would be Chang Houest-Honest
and so on.
When the Chinese child goes to
school Gas nearly all Chinese children
do). il ceases to be known by its FAM
lily name, being named afresh on its
first appearance before the schoolmas-
ter. Thus second Chang might be
NdAACu NGutCA AAO VI
Twinkling Star, and he is registered BY
the name thus fixed and known by no
other to his master and school fellows,
When the youth is engaged to be mar
ried fresh name is given him, and
from that time forth his marriage re-
lations designate him by that name
only. Again. when the youth presents
himself at the public examination for
an official post, he enters himself under
name of his own choice, and for all
time to come that continues to be his
official name. The names of Chinese
mandarins. governors and officials gen.
orally that appear in print are not
names by which these unctionaries are
known in private life-known in their
marriage connections, their own school
fellows, and their kith and kin. When
a distinguished Chinaman dies, he is
therefore spoken of and remembered
by his posthumous name.

One of Riddles most successful ex-

had the freedom of the place presented
to him. Many miners. scouts, hunters
and prospectors were at a shooting

The Horses of Norway.

Lsing, in his travels in Norway. says
that the horses in that country have a
very sensible way of taking their food.
Instead of swilling themselves with a
pailful of water at a draught from the
fear of not getting any again, and then
overgorging themselves for the Same
reason, they have bucket of water
put down beside their allowance of hay.
1t is amusing to see with what relish
they take sip of the one and mouth
full of the other alternately. sometimes
only moistening their mouths, as a
rational being would do while eating a
dinner of such dry food. A broken
winded horse is scarcely ever seen in
NORWAY.

burglary. He returned q few months
ago and his family and friends tried to
reform him. One of these friends, Mrs.
Henrietta Owsley, invited him to her

Washington dispatch: Warfield
Story, counsellor for the Union Pacific
Railroad company to-day submitted to
the house Pacific railroad committee the
notifications Of the Cultivate funding
bill desired by President Adams.
The only change suggested in the
original bill is a proposition to fix the
payment to be made by the company
upon its debt at ITO of per cent for
the second term of five years, instead of
uniform payment for the first ten
year of 4 of per cent.
Roughly calculated, the effect Of this
proposed change would be to induce the
payments by 5000, 900 during each of the
first five years, and increase them by n
corresponding sum during the next five
years.
The company was DESTROYS of having
the charge lightened during the next five

make, and would be able TO make up the
deficiency within the next five years,
