The Presidents Private Life.

Aside from the arduous official duties OF
the president Of the United States it is
interesting to note some Of the pleasure
and profit that accrue from his term
of four years. With an income of $13S
day, or $4,000 year, paid by the
strongest bank in the country, the United
States Treasury, he may or may not
leave office with snug fortune otperhaps
100000, depending on whether his
expenditures have been of an extrava-
CANT nature. Many presidents nave
taken office as poor men, but with the
money they have saved during their term,
and the influence that the office has
brought them in business pursuits after
ward, they have died comparatively rich.
The country installs the president in
the White House-a magnificent residence
and surrounds him with every con-
venence. With an appropriation that
Congress makes every year most OF the
expenses of this establishment are paid.
The following is fair idea of the many
incidentals that come free to a president:
Every bit OF linen, bedding, towels, and
such things is furnished. He is shaved
bv the White House barber. His table
is spread with the finest, daintiest dam
ask, set with the most exquisite china,
and bountifully supplied with flowers
from the White House Conservatives.
If he sends telegram, it is done from an
instrument in the White House, for
which the government pays. His sta
tionery, postage, etc., cost him nothing
Should he desire game ofbilliards, there
is beautiful table at hand or il he
wants to take drive, his stable, which
the government pays the rent for anc
takes care of, are amply equipped. Wher
he enters his business Office, man is sta
toned at the door to open and close it
and private secretary, to whom thu
government pays salary of $4,000
wear, assists him with his correspond
ence. The services of a typewriter arr
also furnished. He is protected from thu
curious by number of private watch
men. Should he want cruise, a mag

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

BY the President OF the United States:
The people of the United States should
never be unmindiu OF the gratitude they
owe the God of nations for His watchlul
care, which has shielded them from dire
disaster and pointed out to them the
way of peace and happiness. Nor should
they ever refuse to acknowledge with
contrite hearts their proneness to turn
away from Gods teachings and to fol-
low with sinful pride after their own de-
vices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, it is fitting that on a day
especially appointed, we should join to-
gether in approaching the throne OF
grace with praise and duplication.
Therefore, l, Grover Cleveland Presi
dent OF the United States, do hereby DIES.
ignate and set apart Thursday, the Goth
day OF the present month of November,
to be kept and observed as day OF
thanksgiving and prayer throughout our
land.
On that day let all the people iorego
their usual work and occupation and
assemble in their accustomed places OF
worship, let them with one accord render
thanks to the Ruler of the universe for
our preservation as nation and our de-
liverance from every threatened danger,
for the peace that hath dwelt within our
boundaries; for our defense against dis.
ease and pestilence during the year that
has passed; for the plenteous rewards
that have followed the labors of our hus
bandmen, and for all the other blessings
that have been vouchsaled to us.
And let us, through the mediation o
Him who has taught us to pray, implorC
the forgiveness of our sins and a contin
uation of heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of thanks
giving the poor and needy and by deeds
OF charity let our offerings OF praise b.
made more acceptable.in the sight of TIN
