Be- fore the President and his party, under the escort of Messrs. Thomas M. Thompson and B. K.

THE PRESIDENT ATTENDS A DINNER BY THAT FAMOUS OKGASIZATION AND MAKES ANOTHER SPEECH. ‘The diner of the Clover Club last evening wasa red-letter one in the history of that famous coterie Of diners and wags. Covers were laid for 150 at the Bellevue Hotel, and the tables were uniquely decorated with vari-colored lamps. President M. P. Handy presided. Among the more aistinguished guests who both dined and ran the gauntlet of the club's wittcisms and gags were ex-President Hayes, Senator Evarts, of New York; Gov.

At 8 o'clock Col, McClure and Wm. N. Singerly, Acommittee on the part ofthe club, proceeded to the Lafayette Hotel to conduct President Cleve- land to the banquet room, and thirty minutes later they drove up to the front of the hotel with the Preskient. As the two committeemen ap- peared with their guest the entire company arose and sang a Verse of the song, “Three Cheers for the Ked, White, and Blue,” which ended with “three cheers for the President of the United States,” as that dignitary was seated by tne side of President Han: Col.

I now have the honor to introduc? the first President of the United States whom the Clover Club have had the pleasure to entest «tn.” President Haddy then, with mock solemnity, Passed the “Loving Cup” to Mr. Cieveland, who, after receiving it, sak “Gentlemen of the Clover club: I thought 1] was sure that I knew the char- acter of Mr. Singerly, but 1f I had known that I was to be a Victia of his I think I would have falled to have entered this banquet hall.

A good many people are awaiting me; I think very likely that I would rather stay here than go elsewhere. Ido not ssy that that 1s so; 1 say it may be so. Gentlemen of the Clover Club, I beg to thank you for this reception.” As Mr. Cleveland retired with Col. McClure and Mr. Singerly, the company arose and sang: “Ob, He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” A Lunch to ‘irs, Cleveland. MR. GEO. W. CHILDS GIVES A LUNCH TO THE WIFE OF ‘THE PRESIDEST. About 2 o'clock, without any of the thousands gathering around the Walnut street entrance ‘surmising who it was, Mr. Childs drove up to the Believue in a close carriage and escorted Mra. Cleveland upstairs, where, from a window for quite awhile, she watched the procession. she came by invitation to attend a luncheon given in her honor by Mr. Childs. ‘The impression mage at ouce by Mrs. Cleveland upon the ladies Invited to meet her (ladies predominated in the party), was quite captivating. In a superd gown of black satin, with jetted lace front over white satin, and a blick bonnet witn white trimming high in front, she looked every inch the of the Waite House. Despite the black, the effect ot her appearance was brilliant. — Her dace absolutely beams. (She has dimples: a capti- ¥ating stile and very dark lovely eyes, her best feature. She saton the right of Mrs. J. Dumas Lippincott and was perfectly at her ease. Among those who Were present were Colonel and Mrs. Grant, Secretary and Mrs, Fairebild, Mr. and Mrs. Lamont, Mr. and Mrs. G.°D. Krumbhaar and others, making twenty Init. The room and table were exquisite. With only half an hour's prepa- ration Mr. Wil!

Not the least of the many entertainments ai- fectly connected with the Centennial Celebration was the reception and banquet given last night Dy the Journalists’ Club of Philadelphia to the news- Paper men from ocher cities.

About 9 o'clock the Officers, ‘under Lieut_-Gen. Sheridan, left the League house and marched to the Academy of Music, where ‘they paid their respects to the Presidential party.

Among the passengers on the Pacific Mail Steamer Newport yesterday was Mr. Geo. W. Nelils, jr. Mr. Nellis has achieved distinction among the wheelmen of the nation by riding a 52-inch bicycle from Herkimer in this State to San Francisco in thirty days’ less time than Mr, Thos, ‘Stevens required for the same journey. Mr. Nellis lives in Herkimer, where his father is editor of the Gazette, He was accustomed be- fore he started on his long journey to run up and down the roads of Central New York from 50 to 100 miles at a stretch, and, ever since Stevens crossed the continent, had been anxious to make the trip. On Tuesday, May 24, at 6 o'clock in the morning, with avout 200 of the Young Villagers around ‘him to give him a send- om, Mr. Nellis climbed on his wheel near the Ni York Central depot in Herkimer and headed wrest along the old Stage road over which passen- rs used to ride from Buttalo to Albany. Mr. C. Pr Avers, another Herkimer wheelman, went along as far as Niagara Falls, ‘The first day's run was 46 milesto C: where the tourists were delayed one day by ram On Thursday they ran 51 miles to Auburn, and the ext day 51 to East Bloomfeld. ‘Then they ran 70 miles to Medina, and the nextday reached Niagara Falls. ‘The road was everywhere tp-top. © On Decoration Day Mr. Nelils ran his wheel across the Suspension Bridge with a numberof associates, He Wes astonished to. find that the Canadian cus- toms officers would not stop bim and make him ve bond that his wheel was simply in transit for Petrone When he got to Detroit he had a lot of trouble to convince the American officials that he Was pot Grom a foreign bicycle into the United Stat though the wheel was plainly of American make. The. roads In canada were bad, ihe worst he fotind east of the uncivilized parts of the United States, but in no place was traveling ‘80 cheap except among the rapchmen. Nebraska ts described as the paradise for wheel- men. "The route led along the Platte Iver, and It ‘a8 a8 level and comfortable as if made to ofder. He commonly made 70 miles a day, but on July ‘29 he ran from Sheiton to Gothenburg, a distance ‘S8miles, The next day after this run he whirled his wheel along over 44 miles without dismounting. ‘Then he got caught tn a rain, and had to walk 32 niles farther before he got toa place where he could get a bed for the night. In Nevada and thence through the mountains he bad some pretty rough experiences, He fol- lowed the line of the Pacific Ratiroad, and usually id to walk 50 miles for every 10 he could ride. ine miles this side of Tacoma he noticed a little ack cloud in the west, but paid no attention to it at the moment. But ten minutes later he was Hfted off the track by the force of a dust-laden biast that landed him, fortunately, safe and sound half way down the bank of a dry creek that ran beside the railroad. Finding himself sheltered from the wind, he stald there. In fifteen inin- utes the rain that flooded down had made a roar- ing torrent of the hitherto dry creek bed. It was all over in twenty minutes, but Mr. Nellis had not a dry rag on him. San Francisco was reached on August 3. ‘The Whole distance covered was 3,369 miles. He Teached the Pacific somewhat the worse for wear. ‘The seat of his trousers bad been patched by the Wayside more substantially than deftly; his coat Was torn across, and his helmet much the worse for bis numerous headers; but the welcome of the San Francisco wheelmen could not have been more hearty If be had Deen clothed in, purple and fine linen. He had carried his entire kit in a 5x9-inch gripsack lashed to the bar of his wheel. His ex- penses for seventy-one days averaged just $2 a oy. Mr. Nellis returned East by the way of the Isth- mus, but from New York he will go to to Herkimer on his wheel, leaving this afternoon, so that he may be abie to truthfully say that he has wheeled 1t across the entire continent. Mr. Nellis 1s Uwenty-two years old. He weighed 1493; pounds when he left home, and he lost 3 pounds en route. Budding ideas ii From the Boston Trauscript. ‘The “Listener” hears from Vermont that the temperance instruction in the schools 1s making rather poor headway there. The rustte young idea does not readily seize upon the phystologtcal facts and assumptions which {t 1s occastonally re- quired to master in advance of its capacity to comprehend them." The Rurat Vermonter, ot Montpelier, has some answers to questions from ‘examination papers in this branch, In reply to the question, “What 1s the brain?” one Vermont youngster procured this answer: “The ts all the time sinang micheson the nevers and is the of you body thinks.” Wno could possibly interpret this? The teacher was nonplussed at first, but managed at length to get a very coherent repiy out of it, thus—«It is all the Ume sending messages over the nerves and 1s the part of your body that thinks.” Another answer to the same question was this: “The brain is a bony cage (case). It has the most work to do of anything. The nerves are smail white cords which run allover you it you had no Vermont. | nerves you could not have the toothache or burn You could not feel your motuer’s warm hand.” ‘The gem of the collection, however, 18 an evi- dence Of the effect produced on the mind of the rising Vermont generation by the questions re- Copies 7 the distillation of alcohol.

THE ART OF MAKING THE ONCE FAMOUS FABRIC PRESERVED ONLY IN A SMALL ENGLISH VILLAGE. London Letter to Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. Lyme Regis and Beer, a small fishing village a few miles west, in South Devonshire, are the centers for all there is left of the Honiton lace in- dustry, which has totally disappeared from Hon!- ton. ‘This exquisite fabric, once so greatly in vogue, was gradually Killed by the introduction of Brussels and Valenciennes lace. When Queen Victoria, from patriotic motives, desired to have her wedding dress of English-made lace, it was with the Tere difficulty that suffictent lace- makers could be brought together for the purpose, Many of them were women who had given up the occupation for years.

Brackett in American Journal of Education. I remember making a certain frend of mine quite angry one day, He had shown me over a certain high-school building. It had long marble- floored corridors, statues, reception-rooms for vis- itors, and withdrawing-rooms for the principal, and others for the teachers, carpeted oe ee Brussels, and handsomely furnished. At last stopped in an Immense hall, which was to be used for exhivitions, and, after potnting out all the or- namentations ‘and ‘calling my attention to the comfort of the chairs, he paused to hear my enthu- Stastic admiration. “I shall never forget his <dis- ist when I ask ‘SviAnd what Kind of teaching ts done heres” ‘That seemed to be a thought which had not oo~ curred to him, and the time which he had spent in showing me around seemed to have been entirely lost. Tam afraid my answer seemed ungracious, and yet Iam too jealous of the honor and excel- lence of the profession to which I belong not to set the teacher above his surroundings, and not to fear that amid all the “mint, and anise, and_cum- min” more important things may be overlooked. In fact, is there not a danger that we ‘make our School-houses and school-rooms too elegant to ine spire s spirit for labor? Comfortable they should bes exqulitely neat they should be; and well-pro; pettioned; but luxurious they should not be, and & me cases it seems as if they were, ‘The pubilc schools are an investment of the na- tion. ‘The income from them should be honest men and women, loving the truth, hating a lie, and ready and anxtous tohelp the world along by being zood citizens.

Citizens for the republic, graduated with such @ dipioma, are what the republic has a right to ex- ect as the result of her investmentin hercommon Schools. ‘But what have marble, Brussels carpets, and cushioned chairs to do in producing such results? ‘The teachers are the servants of the republic, and their time while in the school is sacred to their work, What need of withdrawing-rooms for them? They are not there to withdraw. Of what use are reception-rooms? They are not teachers in order that they may recelve visitors, They are there to be with their pupils. They are not there to rest, but to labor. As well have sofas and arm- chairs’and reception rooms in any workshop. ‘The School hours—the hours when the teacher fs in contact with his pupils—are of vital importance. ‘They are the pure gold which may not be wasted, ‘Time enough for rest, withdrawal, and receptions when the school hours are over; time enough for preparation for the school work. But in school there is no time for such things, In school it 1s the pupils and not the visitors to whom the time and attention are due, “after the Dell strikes in the morning the teacher 1s no more his own, He 1s a servant of the republic, and should be alert at his post. ‘There 1s such a thin as making a person too comfortable to work. Tocking-chair and a fan are not favorable to alge- bra and geometry, or indeed to any mental ac- Uvity. A cushion and a cigar are not provocative of real study. ‘That we have improved on the old red school- houses, with their hard and uncomfortable seats, ‘We do hot doubt. But have we improved on the character of the work done in them? ‘The exter- nals of our schools are fine and often elegant. Is the teaching done tn them strong and vigorous? Is there not just ashade of danger that we may ‘spend too much money on theschool-houses—that We may make them too luxurious for workshops? ‘That 1s what they ought tobe. Luxury, if we can afford it, for ourielsure hours; but for the forging of character, the anvil and all the surroundings, labor. ‘The ‘workman divests himself of all un- necessary appurtenances When he goes to his task. Is the teacher a workman or a man of lels- ure?” It is well, perhaps, to look at this side of the question a little.
