Ho,c Mr.. Clereland Proposed.

As young man Grover Cleveland was
extremely fond of children. In the bache-
lor apartments over his law Offices in Bufa-
10 the walls were covered with photographs
of bright and beautiful babes. He was
particularly interested in the pretty little
daughter of his partner and closest friend,
Oscar Folsom, and it is said that portrait
of the lovely child at years old, arrayed
in white dress with big blue sash, held
the place of honor in his collection. When
Oscar Folsom died he made Cleveland a CO.
trustee with Mrs. Folsom Of their only child,
and true to his trust Cleveland watched
over the rearing and education Of the girl
with tenderest solicitude. As the child
grew to womanhood the bonds Of affection
drew the girl and her guardian closer, and
finally strengthened into the bonds of love.
An old scho0lmate Of Mrs. Cleveland tells
the tale Of Cleyeand's proposal. When
little Frances was s years old she was sit
ting on "Uncle Growers" lap one day en-
tertaining him with childish prattle Of what
she should do when she grew up into "a
big lady" It was about the time of Nelly
Grants marriage in the White House,
which had formed topic for family talk.
'Tm going to have a nice white satin dress
and get married in the White House, too, y
she lisped "But / thought you were going
to marry me and / should wait for you,
laughingly returned Mr. Cleveland. "Oi
course it will be you, for you will grow up
to be President then" said the child know
ingly. When Cleveland was elected Mrs.
Folsom and her daughter were preparing to
90 to Europe, and on calling to say good
bye Mr.. Cleveland claimed from Miss Fol-
som the fulfilment. on her return Of the
promise made when child. He had per-
formed his part of the bargain and she had
only to fulfil hers and become White
House bride.

The President has seemed to ignore
Blaine to such degree that many Of his
friends wonder that he submits ~ it and
remains in the Cabinet. A correspon-
dent says -
"When some one asked him why he
permitted himself to be ignored, he is re-
ported to have told story. He likened
himself TO man who had received from
an author ticket to see the first perfor-
nance of a play. The audience grum-
bled at the first act, Kissed the second,
and at the end Of the third act proposed
to mob the actors. The man with the
free ticket was quiet. His next neigh
Dor was amazed, and at the close of the
third act asked him -
Look here, my friend, you don't say
anything; do you like this play?"
The man did not, but he was deter
mined to be courteous. Fact is" said
he, am here by invitation, and | feel
as if / ought not to be rude. But if the
next act is as bad as the last I'll 60 out
and buy ticket and come in and raise
h-lI"

July III, 1889,
TO SEDUGE THE SOUTH
Harrison's Latest Hope Tariff Revision
Ia Southern Interests Revising
the BIdir Bill.

Nc,cs and Couia-CondeHsed
The Washington correspondent of the
New York World says that President
Harrison's Southern policy is assuming
definite shape, and that it is based upon
"the most advanced ground of the pater-
nal idea of Government" The protec-
tive tariff is to be extended so as to en-
brace larger number of Southern in
terests, and the Blair bill, providing Fed
eral aid for the schools, is TO be passed.
1t is estimated that enough white South
ern Democrats can be caught by a revi-
sion of the tariff in the interest of "the
growing industries" of this section to
Repubicanize at least four of the South
ern States, and it is intended that the ne
groes shall be thrown out Of politics by
the promise of race elevation under the
operations of the Blair educational BILL
The Southern whites are to be bought by
the tariff, and the Southern blacks are to
be swindled out of their political rights
in the name of education.
We have no doubt that President Har-
rison is quite ready to adopt such poll
cy, but we do not believe it will win a
single Southern State from its allegiance
to the Democratic party. We do not be-
lieve that the Southern white people can
be bought, nor do we think that the ne
groes will consent to be sold. "The grow
inc industries" in this section do not re
quire the fostering care Of the Govern
ment. The promise of a revision Of the
protective tariff in the interest of Southern
industries is false on its face. Their sue
cess is not dependent upon the tariff.
The only measure of relief that they re-
quire is less restricted market, the adop-
ton of a policy which will break down
the barriers to a freer commercial inter
course.
We do not expect that the Southern
negro will accede to the ingenious propo-
sal that he sacrifice his political indepen-
dence "on the score of his ultimate rather
than his immediate benefit" And in
view of the openly acknowledged fact
that the Blair bill is to be employed as a
political scheme for the perpetuation of
Republican power, we do not believe that
the people of a single Southern State will
favor its passage Aside from the very
serious doubt as to the constitutionality
of this measure, the assertion that it is
Republican Trojan horse will incline
every good Democrat to work and to vote
against its adoption. 1t will be a bad
dav for the South when the schools of the
South are controlled by the Government,
not for the benefit of the South but for
the benefit of political party that Is
confessedly hostile to every Southern in
terest. The Presidents Southern policy
is written all over with failure. The
South is not for sale. 1t cannot be
bought in blocks of five. 1t respects the
/ Constitution and the laws. 1t will not
lend aid to any scheme which promises
only the further Capitalization Of power
at Washington and the destruction of all
the rights of administration to which the
individual States, as component parts OF
the Federal government, are entitled in
law and equity.

THE ROBIN ON STONEWALL JACK
SONS GRAVE.

In the fair valley of her mountained breast,
Close to her loving heart at Lexington,
Virginia clasps him in eternal rest
stonewall Jackson, her illustriouS son.
One waning Decoration Day, twas there,
A daughter of the Old Dominiona went
To offer, at his laureled grave, prayer
OF tender memory ere the day be spent.
Beside her own, the holiest tribute yet,
Now came-a weared robin from the North
Dear bird of Cavalry-through the sunset
Winged its flight, and softly warbled forth,
Above his slumhering dust so sweet a lay,
That it was truly, to her famished ears,
The peerless anthem of the live-long day
II was Northern Aud Lang Syne in tears.
flushed was the song and Auttering to the
ground,
The watcher saw the bird, with dropping
head
Lie prone, and gasping, on the sacred mound !
Quick in her palm 1t lay-alas twas dead =
The Saviours precious mark upon its breast,
Made while His thorns it sought to lift away
The robins mission now was doubly blest-
1t came and healed the wounds of blue and
Gray. -Nelles6y Brddshale.

Henry, of Asheyille, n o. who had the dead
bird exquisitely mounted.

A Maine farmer had wife who declared
she would never be weighed. One day
when she was in the wagon he drove his
team on to the hay scales in Auburn and
had the whole thing weighed without his
wife knowing what was going on. Then be
afterwards came back and had the team
weighed without his wife, and found it just
225 pounds lighter. So he had his way and
she had her weigh.

.necdote OF beethoven.

Beethoven. although il must be con-
coded that he had every right to be
vain. never took the trouble to hide his
feelings, and when his ire was aroused
and that is with men of genius more
easily done than to allay it-he ex-
pressed himself very clearly indeed.
Thus you may see at Heiligenstadt,
near Vienna, where they are now form
ing sort of Beethoven museum like
the Mozarteum at Salisbury, sketch
of chateau in Neither Austria, where,
a few years before his death, Beethoven
used to compose.
1t belonged to Beethoven's brother,
q chemist, who had made some money
and was rather fond of displaying his
wealth. This brother called upon
Beethoven and left a card, upon which
he had engraved his name: Jean Won
Beethoven, landed proprietor" This
innocent vanity so enraged Beethoven
that he returned the call upon his
brother, when he knew he would not
be at home, and left his card: Louis
Won Beethoven, brain proprietor. ~
