The proper degree Of formality OBJ
served at the White House, so far as
the officials are concerned, is some
times in contrast with the procedure
in earlier days. In recently published
recollections of long life, the author
describes a scene he witnessed at the
White House in President Van Buren's
time In honor of the Inauguration, a
cheese had been sent to the new chief
magistrate. 1t was "the size of large
round table" Pieces of it, together
with crackers, were handed round to
persons assem- bled. "The Whole house
and almost the whole city was redolent
of cheese, fragments of it lying every
where on the streets" All this may
seem to have brought the President
nearer the people, but the country can
to-day quite appropriately dispense
with that form of paternalism.

shelbyville, Ind, have formed them
selves into a club called The Coming
Benedicts, and have bound themselves
to be married before next Christmas,
registering their oaths to that effect
before a magistrate. They are to
meet for dinner, with their wives, at
hotel, Dec. rs, 1897, and if any one
of them has failed to keep his pledge
he must come down to the dinner in
charge of the sheriff, bound and

nue., and declared that the surplus
