One OF the specially interesting cvi.

very busy and very confident country Is 10
be seen in tho reception Of the Cabinc,
appointments. Very little comment or
criticism is made. The public does not
appear to care particularly about them.

curious regard for what Mr.. Blaine may
have in mind TO do. When the Cabi-
net was in process Of determination
tho President. MS rule, treated the mat
ter in a semi-jocular spirit, but gave only
the slightest modicum OF advice. Mr..
Plat and Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Alger may
not like Il, but the public Is rather indi-
iorcnt TO their disappointmcn,s, aud the
average citizen turns 10 his wheel, his on
vii and his desk with the idea uppermost
in his mind that II things are not as they
should be the people have the power to
put matters right when the time for
action shall come. Il Is this spirit that
amazes the foreigner who makes tour
OF the country after the exciting ordeal Of
national campaign, and ho becomes pos
scssed Of the idea that there Is n great deal
Of sound and fury in American politics
that signihclh nothing. A great war failed
to pu, the Republic Oh i,s center. and the
prosperous advance that was checked by
in,ricidal strife became at Its close AL
the more rapid. Tho defeat Of the
Democratic party at tho last election
means nothing more than the Temporary
victory Of tho Republican party. Fou
years hence the former will be as asscriiy,
aud vigorous as ever, because ils ideas ar,
fundamental TO the integrity Of the Il, pub
lie The people must come back 10 their 70

MIR. CLEVELAND IN pRIvArE LEE

MR.. CLEVELAND IN PRIVA TIE LIFE.
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland have gone to
New York, there to establish home. Mr..
Cleveland, emulating the example OF Gin
cinnatus, will return 10 the vocation he
abandoned when he was called TO serve
the State. He goes out OF office in the
prime OF vigor and with life expectancy
OF twenty-five years. We have no doubt
he will bear himself in private life with
the same dignity that marked his public
career. 1t is very fitting that citizen Of
the American Republic should, upon
the completion OF term OF employment
in the service Of the people, oxalt the Dig
nifty Of private citizenship by quietly re-
Stunning the work from which the people
had summoned him. To do this is to set a
most honorable example, which should
not be lost upon the people in every com.
munity, who. once having enjoyed
the privilege Of serving the people.
remain until their deaths waiting
in the dreary and iorlorn hope OF being

service is no intense to some men that
they will submit to positive indignity to
continue in it, We shall presently see
applicants for high positions accepting
gratefully positions the tender Of which

THE HAYTIAN CIVIL WAR.
Legitime Treats the Defeated Rebels
With Magnanimity.


NKw YoRK, March 0.-The steamer An

ing. The puser, Frank DARN, says tho
Andes was ut Port-au-Prince on February
4. The day before there had been a grand
review Of Legitime's troops and much jol-
LITIGATION, because OF the receut victories
over Hyppolitc's rebels. Tho Legtime
forces had won signal victories in the
provinces Of the North and had driven
the rebels back all along tho line. At
Grand Saline there was a battle fought
aud Gen. Jean Miseroe was taken pris-
oner, but was released upon parole.
There were no executions, because Legit-
line did not wish 10 ALLEVIATE any OF his
counirymen by harsh measures. Tho
Hyppolito forces were driven back through
the Marmelade district as far as Emery,
and llinche was taken, rs were ST.

The FLOUR OUTPUT.
The Production for tho Week Amounts
to 90, TOO Barrels.

Norihveuon Miller today says: both ice
and low water hindcred the mills during
all Of last week, and although there were
fourteen running part Of the time the -four
output fell of somewhat. The aggregate
production was 81, 700 barrels, averaging
II, $50 barrels daily, against %, $50 barrels
the week befoie, and l2s, 100 barrels for the
corresponding week in 1883. With the
prevalence Of warm, spHng-like weather
the supply Of water has been rather inn
proved. but with the disposition to more
generally use IL the head is still kept down
pretty well. Ten mills running today are
producing at the rate OF about 1900 bar
rels daily. Three Others, with an output
Of $500 barrels, are expected TO start within
few hours. This would make the daily
manufacture nearly 10000 barrels, though
the daily average will he less. Six Of the
ten mills In operation are using steam In
part for power, and the three about 10
start up arc similarly situated. Tho heavy
decline in wheat has affected the flour

MAGGIE mroHHLL's DIVORCE SUIT.
What is Thought OF 1t by Those Well
Acquainted with the Couple.


Acquainted With the Couple.
From the st. Louis Republic.
The brief New York dispatch announce
ing that Maggie Mitchell had begun suit
for absolute divorce from her husband,
Henry +. Paddock, occasioned much sur
prise among the theatrical and theater-go-
ing people OF St.. Louis yesterday. MIR. +.
F. Kelly, manager for Frank Mayo, said:
~ was indeed very much surprised on
reading the dispatch. Paddock and Mrs
Mite hell were married in 1865 or 1866,
and excepting little difference that oc-
Cured between them about year ago,
and which l pre- sumed had been settled
up, their married life was presumably
very happy. Ineverheard until | read this
mornings papers that there was a woman
in the case. Gossip in the theatrical
papers about year ago said that the APP
parent rupture between Maggie and her
husband was on account oil the latter &
| jealousy Of her leading man, with whom,
tho story went, Miss Mitchell had fallen
in love. The tale was foundationless.
Miss Mitchell has always been woman
OF unexceptionable department, and do
not think there was ever reason for tn Z
faintest breath OF scandal as TO her con-
duct. never heard anything OF that
character, either, to Paddock's discredit.
From what | know OF Miss Mitchell
should say, though, that she must have
strong grounds for belle wing that the
charges she makes against Paddock in hei
petition are absolutely true. Paddock hai
always travelled with Miss Mitchell as hcI
manager until the last year"
MIR. Cooney, the manager OF the How
ard Athenmum Company, said yesterday
"Yes, ! was greatly surprised 10 read ol
