TWO NEW AND BEAUTIFUL BEGoNIAs.
Two beautiful new varieties of the
begonia, described by Wick, are the
Queen of the Belgians, white. and
Imogen, salmon colored. The former
has large flower, circular in form. It
Is of pure white, which under 30
circumstances changes to pink. and is q
free bioomer, with truss well supported
above the foliage. It is valuable both
for bedding and pot culture.
Imogen, the second novelty, is OF fine
form, and shade of salmon very pleas
Ing and different from that of any other
sort. The eye is of deeper color, ap-
preaching to scarlet. The truss is large
AMI the plant blooms f! eelY ami abund-
antly.

THE NEXT HOUSE.

The political complexion of the next
House of Representatives seems yet in
doubt, Notwithstanding the large majority
claimed by the Republicans. We have
been expecting definite news from
Washin gton, but up to gong to press
there is nothing to change the present
outlook, which is more favorable to the
Democrats. North Carolina is said to
send enough to give majority of one
West Virginia now sends more Demo-
Gratis than she had been expected to dc, and
the Wheeling District, heretofore Republi-
can is vigorously claimed by the Democrats
and adds yet another proba biiity of a Dem
otratic majority in the House. Speaker
Carlile's official clerk, who is supposed to
get his information from the most relja-
bic source, figures out a majority of five
for tie Democrats. The Democrats,
therefore. are becoming more hope
full, and the Republicans, who had
counted on from Is to 20 major
ity, are naturally distressed and annoyed
at the Democratic claims. Whatever may
be the result, tte House will ba close, and
of course be organized by the party hold
ing tho most certificates of election.
Most of the doubtful seats are in the
Southern States, and the Republican man
ayers seem afraid fraud will be practiced
by the authorities Of that section in
awarding the certificates. AS the next
House will have the making Of several
lew States, it is of decided imp Jrtance
which party shall control it.

Cleveland's four years of public trust will
go into history unstained by either the
crimes OF the jobber, Or the waste OF the
profigate. L. every department. within
the control of the Executive, public integ-

no chance to ply his vocation in the award

Grover Cleveland will be- remembered as
the honest administration OF modern
times.

while applauding his courage aud feeling
that he had rendered the country great
service by presenting a new and living
issue for parties to divide upon, felt also
that he had sacrificed himself to a principle,

Mrs. Cleveland's Grit.

lNaSIjQglOn fO5Cl
A lady who was at tho w hite House on
last Tuesday night, says that there was
no more nervousness displayed by Mrs.
Cleveland than by any other lady in the
group. All were deeply interested, and
the rest Of them did not attempt to con-
troll feminine impatience when it be-
came evident that the revelations of the
evening were not going to be entirely
happy. But Mrs, Cleveland was true
grit" all through. She chatted and
laughed and entered into the discussion
over Miss Endicott'S approaching mar
riage as if that were the uppermost sub
ject in her mind. AS the evening wore
on the ladies, with true womanly mpa-
thy, began to get all possible comfort out
OF the situation and endeavored to buoy
up the hopes Of tbs men. They all sepa-
rated a half hour after midnight and went
home with the certainty of defeat. Mrs.
Cleveland and her mother were brave and
smiling to Tire last, and neither showed
by the least word their great dlsappoint-
menG.
Mrs. Cleveland intends making her last
winter in the White House tie most
memorable OF her career there. She will
have lots Of friends to stay with her from
time to time. and she will vary the beaten
track OF ficial hospitalitles By number
Of less formal events which she will ar
range for the pleasure Of her guests. AS
long as Indian summer lasts the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland will remain at
their country place, but they intend to
spend pleasant winter at the White
House.

American Union will be laid to rest dur
ing President Harrison's term. The Pen

it without leaving SO much as a crumb

the future President, and as its disburse-

likely that its friends have gained any
