PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND HIS CABINET.

thence of the crowd was rewarded. Not
long before noon the murmur of cXpec-
tation that passed through the crowd
announced that the presidential party
approached the capitol. The murmur
increased as the first men of the land
drew near and grew and swelled at last
into a mighty uproar as they stopped
before the platform.
With heroiSm worthy of Il better
canse Mr.. Cleveland had determined to
be inaugurated in the open air. 1t was
1870 by the rightful time when the first
OF the presidential party arrived on the
stand. The first was Mrs. Cleveland
alert and smiling as usual. With
her were her mother, Mrs. Pcrrine, and
Chairman Norris of the reception com
mittee. Behind her trooped the Steven
son party with its numerous bevy of
fresh faced girls. The crowd recognized
Mrs Cleveland at first view and shouted
loudly and long. 1t was not Il cheerful
scene upon which the distinguished
people had come.
The snow of morning had ceased to
fall. but the wind was shifting to the
northwest, whence came "a cutting. icy
blast straight from Nova Scotia. The
northeastern caught the kucc-deep snow
and blew it in a biting cloud into the

The reviewing stand, designated by an
immense flag flying above it, was stu
ated immediately in front of the exc
cutivc mansion and on the south side
of Pennsylvania avenue. A crowd of
humanity. Singing like Il sea. occupied
every available spot of ground in the
vicinity. and as the president made his
appearance another cheer signalcd his
presence and was taken up and re-ech-

many the most interesting feature OF

nificencc all combined to make u spec
tacle that will be carried for many
wears in the minds of those who wit

The ball had been in progress for
some time before the presidential party
arrived. Many persons of distinction
from all parts of the country, senators
and representatives, prominent poll
ticians. governors of states, officers oi
the army and navy, diplomates from
many lands. militia officers, all these
with thousands of ladies'. formed Il
throng that passed through the fou'
great .doorways of the building and
made merry in the ball room. IL is
estimated that 1000 people attended
the affair. hut only small proportion
of these took part in the dancing. The
throng was toogreat to admit of fredeon

and the pressure about the square steps
was so intense that the jewellers were
given bnt little space for their terp
sichorean evolutions.

WASHINGTON, ID. d., March THE
fact that the award for the survey and
placing of monuments on Nebraska
northern boundary was not made to
the lowest and best bidder according to
stipulation named in the advertisement
for bids by the commissioner of the
general land Office at Washington needs
not to be authenticated more than to
say that it was made to IL man who Is
not "a civil engineer and has no lnowl-
edge of the work he was bidding on. 1t
is sufficient to say that ). C. shelton OF
Springfield, :. d.. cannot give good
and sufficient bond to do the work on II
contract of of this nature as he is con
tracing to parform labor which, he
is unqualified for, having no knowledge
of civil engineering. govern
ment or private individual can not con-
tract for thing that is impossible in
its nature and have the contract and
bond binding. Senator Henderson has
no political interest in the award of this
contract, but when an incompetent man
is awarded civil engineers work, it is
time to revolt, especially when there
were several good bids from responsible
engineers to select from. Mr.. Shelton
will find that there is no law in the
land to sustain his theory, and without
donbts the bids for this survey will have
TO be readvertised, for Senators Man
dcrson and Pettigrew both declare the
award which was made to be unjustitied
by either law or rule, and they both
declare that they intend moving to set
it aside. The prospects are that the
award will be set aside and that the
survey will be rcadvertised, as the per
son who got the award is not regarded
as AN eligible bidder.

DOWNED BY A LION.
A Brave Old Dog Gives It's Master ,

Chouoo Of Life.
A party whom / knew very we'll
met with a terrible adventure while
out hunting the mountain lion. The
animal came to bay on top of pile of
rocks, far up the mountain side. a,

there long before the hunter, and
wishing to get as near as possible to
the game they crowded onto small
bluff that projected above the lions
position and from there bayed and
growled at the quarry.
The hunter. meantime, worked his
way up until he arrived, say. within
thirty feet of the spot. Here he
stopped and was looking around for
place from whence he could shoot the
lion dead without endangering the
dogs, when, with shrill scream that
went echoing up the canyon, the big
cat sprang upon him, threw him
backward, and, placing its huge paws
on either arm, literally pinned him
to the ground, giving him no chance
The lion all this time was growing
and screaming with fury. So near
were the yellow fangs to the hunters
face that the froth dripping from the
beasts mouth nearly blinded the
PROSTATE man. The hounds, for
some reason, perhaps on account of
the thick brush. did not see that the
lion had pounced on their master; so
instead of going to the rescue, as
they always do, they, with the excep-
tion of one old dog, veered to one
side and ran quite a little distance
on the back track before finding their
mistake. The veteran hound that
stayed behind leaped on the rock va
Gated by the lion, and from there saw
the perilous position OF the much
loved master. With deep bay that
sounded almost like roar the noble
animal launched himself into the air
and alighted within few feet of the
lion. The next bound landed him on
the enemy's back.
The lion turned to defend himself
from this new foe, and in doing so
lifted one paw from the mans arm.
Knowing that it was his last chNNce
for dear life the hunter made des-
perate effort, drew his heavy pistol,
and jamming the barrel against the
lions breast, let him have three shot
in less than as many seconds. Al
most without culver the fierce ami
NAL fell dead at the side of his in
