Good carriage induces q good figure.

A despotic government has its adj
vantages, and among them is the easy
collection of debt, provided the ruler
is friendly to the creditor. Ahmed
Vefyk Pasha. Turkish statesman,
was once Governor of Broussa, and
this story is told of his paternal rule |:
A rich man had judgment pronounced
against him in favor of poor man.
The latter, owing to the brides of the
rich man. could not obtain execution,
and complained to Ahmed Vefyk.
After hearing the case. Ahmed saw
the debtor riding up to the Konsk up
on beautiful Arab horse. He ordered
the creditor to sit down. called q mes
senger, and whispered to him.
The debtor entered the room, and
was surprised at the exceptional COR
diality Of the pasta, who invited him
to sit down, to take coffee. and to con-
verse. Presently, when he rose to
leave, the pasha pressed him to re-
main. and kept him more than an hour,
until, indeed, q messenger entered the
room aud placed q small bag on the
table before Ahmed.
When the debtor next rose, Ahmed
took the bag from the table and gave
il to him, stating, -This Is yours. You
owed so much to this poor man, have
sold your horse, paid him, and this Is
the balance belonging to you"

AS ONE instance of the way in which
men are sometimes entangled in train
of circumstances from which only vi
docq or Gaboriau could extricate them,
the accident which recently happened to
travelling man in Milwaukee is in
point. Presumably all Gaboriau's stor-
les are fctions, but this tale comes from a
newspaper correspondent and therefore
must be true. The travelling man in
question represented champagne

then the! went t o.! his hatsb clilmslPs4 intQ-tbe
running and was nearly drowned. Had
his nose sunk two inches lower the
newspapers would have reported sui
eide. No power on earth could have
proved that he did not drown himself
intentionally. No detective could haye
shown conclusively that death was &C
cidental. There is enough in the Incl
dent to make one reflect that tits wise
not to Judge appearances. In a fight
between a man and set of conspiring
circumstances the man has no show
whatever. To condemn a dead man
for supposed suicide on suspicion is in
many cases to commit SANDER.

1t is announced in New York that Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland will in few days close their
house in Madison avenue and take up their
residence at Lakewood in New Jersey, point
sufficiently near to New York to allow the ex-
President to come daily to his place of bust
ness in that city.
The reason given for the proposed step is
that Mrs Cleveland has not yet fully
recovered her health, and finds it a severe tax
upon her strength to answer oil the letters
which are addressed TO her in New York and
to respond to all the appeals which are made
to her in person. There are innumerable re-
quests for her photograph and autograph,
and she is constantly asked to sllow the dedi-
cation to her Of many forthcoming books and
musical compositions. Her aid in money
matters is daily sought by individuals who
have not even the claim Of an acquaintance
ship. and she is frequently importuned to be
present on occasions of different sorts which
it is impossible for her to attend.
All these various encroachments upon her
time and attention Mrs Cleveland has been
in the habit of recognizing, however great
the labor required, but since the birth of her
child she has been compelled 10 overlook
them in large part and this has become
source of trouble and anxiety TO her. so great
is her kindness of heart In order to remove
his Iwife from those distressing influences,
Mr.. Cleveland has decided to withdraw his
family from New York until Mrs. Cleyeland's
health is fully restored, which will be only a
matter Of few months.
This is but one of the many penalties which
great distinction carries with it in O city like
New York. The celebrity which attends the
possession OF extraordinary talents OF an
enormous fortune exposes the person re-
markable for either to annoyances that
increase upon the slightest encouragement
being given to those that infict them.
Publicity, however honorable. has Sc
rious drawbacks in these crowded
communities, and among these drawbacks TO
be merely an object of envy is of the smallest
account. TO show kindness of heart as Mrs
Cleveland has SO invariably done, because it is
the expression of her nature, is to invite ad-
d.tional impositions and TO create new sources
of vexation.
AHO -hANN44Cai peOpiS WILL WITHOUT regard
to party, entertain the hope that she will
soon be in the full enjoyment Of her usual
good health and that when she returns TO

Their annoyance by keeping policeman at
