THE CABINET CONFIRMED.
With no Opposition Except Mutterings
Against Mr.. Gage.

Washington, d. c., March 5.-The
| President to-day sent the following nomi-
nations to the Senate:
Secretary of State-John Sherman. of
| Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury Lyman j.

Secretary of War-Russell \. AIger, of

Secretary of the Interior-C Cornelius n.

Secretary Of Agriculture-Ja Will
son, Of Iowa.
The cabinet appointments were all con-
frmed by the Senate to-day and practi-
cally without oposition. There was for
a time a threat Of opposition to Mr..
Gage as Secretary of the Treasury be-
cause of his views on the silver question
and because he is banker, but there was
more of this among Senators in the
cloak rooms than inthe Senate.
The Senate went into executive session
promptly upon the receipt of the nomlaa-
tions few minutes before / O'Clock and
as soon as the announcement was made
of the appointment of Senator Sherman,
whose name headed the list, he was con-
firmed. 1t is the practice to refer all
nominations to committee, but it was the
desire of Mr.. Sherman's friends to sig
nalize their regard for him by immediate
action. No opposition was made and the
nomination went through without com
ment There was more form than
reality in the reference of the other men,

made in committee to combinations. The
Senate was in recess while the polling
was in progress and only little more
than half an hours time was spent in
discussing the nominations Most of this
time was devoted to the appointment of
Mr.. Bliss as Secretary Of the Interior,
which called for attention from Senators

In Dean Holes Memories are re,
lated several anecdotes Of the Duke of
Wellington, the first Of which shows
that he had the modesty, common Gwo~J
great men, that is unconscious of its
own greatness.
He met a lady who was going up the
steps to see the model of Waterloo and
remarked to her:
"Ah, you're going to see Waterloo!
It's very good was there, you know"

Chapel Royal of St. James, when he

suddenly closed it with all his force so
that the noise rang through the build
ing. .-'
HE informed me in a whisper, " re-
ports the bishop, THAT his grace the
Duke of Wellington was asleep and
that, not liking to touch him, he
adopted this method of rousing him
from his slumbers." This ingenious
stimulation of a bombardment never
failed to stir the old warrior.
Wellington left behind him three
memorable sentences. Education with
out religion would surround US with
clever devils. To a verger who pushed
aside a poor man who was going up be-
fore him to the altar, with the words,
"Make way for his grace the Duke Of
Wellington, " he said, mot so; we are
all equal here" And when a young
clergyman was speaking in d~isparage-
ment of foreign missions he rebuked
him with, 'Sir, you forget your march
ing orders, GO ye into all the world

ture.

Do not use at length for at last. Say
"a man named Brown" not "a man by
the name of Brown"
Use begin instead of commence G. A
telegraphic message is a despatch, not a

Do not use directly for Immediately.
Say women and men, not ladies and

When you men leg say leg, not lower

Do not say that anything occurs unless
it takes place by chance. Funerals and
weddings do not occur.
Do not use off with from or of, as "He
jumped off (from) the table," SHE took
the book off (of) the table"
Do not say, San old man seventy
years of age" ga young girl seven

Partake means to share, to take part
of. One cannot say, "Being left alone,
he partook of a hearty meal"
Use a, not per before English nouns.
Do not say per day, per month; but a
day, a month.
A person may receive a thing from, but
never of, another.
Relatives is a better name than rela-

Say "He has received 100000" not
"the sun of $40, 00O."
Do not begin a sentence with figures.
