and political life Of the country.
THE WHITE HOUSE.
The presidents house is situated on q gentle
elevation OF the western part of the CITY, over
looking the Potomac river. The grounds
about 1t comprise twenty acres 1t has a
northern and southern front, the latter COM
manding an extensive view Of the Potomac as

to pay my respects TO Mrs. Cleveland The
cottage is Of stone. is tastefully built aud
spacious enough for comfort and
the entertainment Of friends 1t
Mrs. Cleyelands mother. One OF the
reasons why the president bought this property
was because Of the inadeGuacy Of the exeru-
tive mansion for all tee purposes of public
offices and private residence. There is little
or no privacy about it. The people seem to
think they have a right to Wander everywhere
about the building. For number of years it
has been seriously proposed by leading MEM
bcrs Of congress to erect n duplicate Of Tire
present building on the ground 10 the south Of
1t for presidential residence, giving up this
mansion entirely to public offices and public
levees and receptions.
President Cleveland thought however, that
ut the present time it would SAVIOR too much
Of extravaganza 10 undertake such Building.
SO he quietly looked around bought a resi-
dence for himself, aud since then there has
been no more talk Of new presidential res
dence. Nevertheless thOre will be a necessity
for one sometime.

DIR. II. II. Orme: "Is death painless
Certainly-as sleep is painless. Death is
the extinction of sensibility, n release from
pain. The experience of persons approaching
death is different thing, and differs with the
disease, the age ard other circumstances The
road to death is often rough and hard, but its
asperities are generally softened in proportion
as the end is near, and obtunded or paralysed
senSibilites are the result. 1t is in the early
stage OF fatal sickness that suffering and APP
prehension are the greasest-relaxaton and
Indifference usually following toward the
close. The idea Oh death struggle is a fc-
ton, and the death rattle is due to paralysis
"What difference have you observed between
the dealt bed scenes of Christians and those
OF unbelievers?"
Nothing important enough to found a
theory upon or to support one. Christians Of
all denominations sometime die peacefully,
sometime in terror-that is, they approach
death in this way 1t is the same with other
reiigionists, or with those of no religion. The
nature Of the disease has probably more to do
with this than the belief entertained Ono
thing | may mention in this connection as hay
ing emphasized itself in my experience, which
is, that the most thoroughly prepared and COM
posed persons in the anticipation of death,
have been, upon the whole, Catholics who
Lave had tie Offices of their priest in eXpecta-
ton Of the event, Were ! asked to offer a
suggestion as to preparation OF death, ! could
not DO better then commend the counsel CON
tanned in the closing lines Of Bryant's Thana-
atupsis."
The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1888-10-02

DR.. W. c. Jernigan said at is owing very
much 10 the cause of death. Some cases are
evidently painful, but think the great ma
jorlty are painless.
81 remember the case OF one prominent
merchant who had congestion of the bowels.
he felt no rain. and a half hour before his
death it was difficult to convince him that he
was dying. lie laughed at the idea, and he
sat up in bed and signed his will in as legible
characters as he ever made, writing beauti-
full hand.
Il have seen cases of death by vio-
lence that were apparently very painful,
but doubt very much whether those persons
suffered any very great pain at the time, The
appearance of suffering is more in the nature
OF q reflex action than the result of pain.
think yod may say that in tho great ma jorlty
OF eases death is painless. l am speaking in
reference to the article OF death, the act Of dy-
ing. In sudden death think there's no pain.
Ia cases Of hemorrhagc there is no pain it is
more tired feeling than anything else. The
death o! consumptives, as an ordinary thing,
is comparatively painless. They really seem
10 welcome death. Death from any exhaust
ing disease is more tired feeling than one of
pam.
