Whether there will be value in
this finger-post of superstition or
not is of little consequence, as
there will be dangers, privations
and suffering to brave, but it is
hoped that the north pole will not

WHERE CLEVELAND WILL SPEND THE
SUMMER.
There is an old Dutch mansion
in Bergen county, New Jersey,
which is fast acquiring a history.
Twenty-three years ago it stood, an
old stone house with low walls and
pointed gable, in the midst of un.
cultivated lands, and was bought
by the great comedian, Joseph
Jefferson. He made to this addi-
tions and improvements until it
was remodeled from a tumble
down farmhouse into a quaint
and beautiful country-seat, whose
low sweeping roof and dormer win
dows are barely seen from the
public road through the mass of
rore shrubbery that encircles them.
Its windows command fine views
of the Jersey hills, for this house
stands in the Saddle Rock river
valley, near the famous Provost
homestead, which Aaron Burr so
frequently visited. The rooms,
which follow one another in an
irregular fashion, are finished in
hardwood, beautifully polished, and
lend themselves most adequately
to the picturesque decorations of
the present day. This place has
been rented by Grover Cleveland
for the summer, and if he is con-
tented with the life here he will,
in all probability, buy it for per-
manent home.
. BERNHARDT's LAST FREAK.
What will Bernhardt do next
this great actress who keeps tigers
and snakes for familiar compan-
ions? The last story about her is
told by a passenger on the Mono
wal, the ship that is taking her to
Australia, who describes her eccen-
trio conduct during the voyage in
letter dated from Honolulu. 1t
seems that on a very dark night
the tragic actress caused a sensa-
ton by declaring that she would
climb into the "crow's nest" In
vain the captain protested and
begged her not to do SO during
such heavy sea, but, nothing
daunted, she bounded to the top.
mast. The crew, officers and
pas :engers assembled to watch her
descend, and when she stopped
halfway down they were scared
stiff, lest she should fall. There
she stood; clinging to the rigging,
with the high wind blowing her
skirts, and the ship tossing and
plunging through the ocean; there
she recited long poem of Victor
Hugo's. After causing sufficient
and enjoying the
anxiety of her fellow-travelers she
descended with the grace and
agility of a cat, and smiling her
tight little smile, showed her row
of pointed, pearly teeth and sped
into her cabin.
