 It has always been predicted that if any violence ever should happen to President Cleveland it would be when he was resting from his official labor for the purpose of shooting ducks or hooking fish, Such prophecies have been invoked simply by the multiplication of chances for accident when one is fishing or shooting. A gun might explode or go off at the wrong time, or 8 boat might upset, or I fatal storm arise, or a hundred other things might happen. So F is that the soothsayers have ever put 6n long faces and worn looks of expect ant melancholy when the president has gathered about him his boon oompan- ions and yamoesed to the woods or the waters Clairvoyants have repeatedly foretold his sudden taking off during these fishing or fowling forays, and yet aot even m approach to danger has ever been made. with the exception Of live ly blow or two when bis excelleneY was eafe in some cove, daIlyius with no more deadly enemy than his coffee and cigar.

A curious story Is told of Senator Hear of Massachusetts, the man i'll con- gress whose face beams more than all others with Eindliness and henevelence. IL is related that the other day when the senator was abopt to board q street car on tine avenue the conductor, seeing that the statesman was very old in ap pearanee reached out and assisted him to mount the steps The senator resent ed the familiarity, though the conduct oris act was i.. accordance with orders issued by tte company. Fellow passen- gers say tkat the venerable statesman made tlia air blue with his eloquent ahuse of the man, and, when the latter tried to explain, threatened him with personal violence. The senator wrote to the company, demanding the conductor dismissal The eompanys officers re- fused. The senator persisted, and the cowardly officials, fearing to prejudice their case ill anticipated legislation, suspended the man for month The senator still insists on the penalty of dismissal. The man is poor, has fami- ly, cold weatber is ill evidence, but the senator is obdurate. His act has aroused the employees of the company, trouble is promised if the man be not reinstated at once and the senator is threatened with a suit in the courts. It is cheerful to state that there is probably Tot an other member of congress wAo would have taken so petty q revenge and shown such vindietiveness against one who sought only to do him favor.
