A Lewiston little girl disconcerted President Cleveland the other Her parents were en route from the west to Maine, via Washington, where they passed a few days. In their party were a clergyman and his wife, who particu- larly desired to see the president. The little girl made up the third of the party, and with the clergyman and lady called at the white house. The presi- dent shook hands, and as he took the maiden’s palm in his she spoke up and said in a resolute treble: I am glad to see you, sir, I am a little democrat.” The president smiled and shook her hand again, while the good clergyman and his wife stood aghast. “Iam_ glad to know it, my dear,” said the president. “Iam glm{ to koow it, I am vleused to have so valuable an adherent;” and he was about to turn to the nextin the throng of people passing on when the little girl spole up again in her clear voice and added: *“‘But, sir, I ama great big republican,” President Cleveland is said to have turned, looked at the little one quizzic- ally, laughed, and to have been for a moment or two at a loss for a word to say. Then he said good-bye to the little girl from Maine, and they passed on, while those who heard him and saw the incident were highly amused.

Tel. 864 - —— DOUGLAS' COMMISSIONERS, The County Attorney's Opinion On the Sheriff’s Charges. The board of county commissioners held a meeting vesterday and disposed of consider- able business, The American water works company, hav- ing learned that ex-Marshal Freeland, of Florence, who was 1ecentlv deposed by Mayor Hall, had petitioned the commission- ers for the ofice of justice of the peace in that place, addressed a communication to the board, remonstrating against the appoint- ment.” The matter was referred to the judi- ciary committee. In answer to a number of questions that had been submitted by the commissioners to the county attorney, relative to the sheriff’s duties and responsibilitics, the county attor- ney gave carefully prepared replies. It re- gard to the sheriff’s much-mooted mileage charges he says: It 1s my opinion that the sheriff had the right to charge the county §3 per day, and mileage at the rate of ten cents per mile cach way_ for conveying the insane to the hospital.” He also reports that the only actual expenses of the sheriff’s assist- ants can be charged to the county, and that he not entitled to the same mileage for them as he is for himself, Auditor Points, in the report of his exam- ination of the sheriff’s bill for boarding pri oners from June 1, 1888, to June 30, 1885, re- marks incidentally that the jail records have not been so neatly nor so accurately kept during the last six months as during the pre-_ ceding term of two years. He attributes the discrepancies that have crept into the sher- iff’s bills during the last six months to the mefliciency and carelessness of prisoners who do the work of keeping the records and mak- ing up accounts. He recommends the ap- pointment of a competent person at the coun- ty's expense, who shall be responsible for the neatness, uniformity and accuracy of the work. The committee on finances reported the amount due from the county to the sheriff to be $705.80; amount due from the sheriff to the county, #777.93. The committee rec mends that the sheriff be requested to pay over this amount, and in default of doing which, no warrant shall be drawn in his fa- vor, but that the $08.50 be withheld as a pa: tial offset against the claim of the count, until the & aid in by the sheriff. The recommendations were adonted. The following bids were accepted: Grad- ing road between sections 22 and 27, in town- ship 15, range 12, to Vaughan & Mc 1515¢ per cubic yard. For 50,000 sewer brick, delivered at Florence, to Bailey & Olson, for $9.50 per one thousand.

A few changes have taken place in the faculty of Creighton college for the ensuing year. Rev. Jas. J. O'Meara, S. J., professor of poetry and president of the Webster De- bating society, will be counected with St. Mary’s college, Kansas. He hus been absent from Omaha during the summer, but will return before the end of the wonth, on his way to Kansas. Prof.'J. J. Donaher, S, J., the efticient instructor in elocution and diree- tor of the Acolythical society, will go to Woodstock, Md., ‘to. continue a course of philosophy and theology, which was inter- rupted several years ago by ill health, Rev. Jas. D. Foley, S. J., of Kansas, will teach in several of the classes and assist Rev. M. P. Dowling, S.J., the president of the college, in the general management of the studies. Father Dowling has been in charge of the college for more than threo years, and will still continue at his post. Rev. William T. Kinsella, S. 4., formerly of Marquette college, Milwaukee, will teach the class of humanitics. Rev. J. 3. Shrynes, S. J., will teach the second academic class. Prof. F. X. Mara, S. J., the first academic, and Prof. Joseph P, Gillick, who has recently returned from an extended course in the cast, after having taught five years in west- ern colleges, will have charge of the third academic class. Rev. Joseph F. Rigge, S. J., who has been for two months at Boston engaged in scien- tific research, will return to his_ old position as professer of natural science at Creighton, On his way back he will visit the principal observatories, technological schools and la- bratories in the east. Prof. Mara, S. J., will give him assistance in his Jine of teaching. Rev. Francis G. Hillman, S. J., will still be connected with the college. ~Some portion of his time will also be devoted to the collegi church, This occupation will prevent him from filling the position of prefect of studies, which will be divided between Fathers Dowl- ing and Foley. Rev. Arnoid Damen, S, J., a veteran missionary for thirty years in the early part of the United States, will be chap- lain'of the college and connccted with the collegiate church. The faculty of Creighton college will be unusually strong this year and fully able to deal with the increasing demands made upon it for higher education —— A Cock Fighting a Looking-Glass. Popular Science Monthly: An amus- ing test of the difference in disposition in barnyard fowls inay be made by plac- ing a piece of looking-glass against the trunk of a large tree, and laying a train of corn in front of it. Some hens will iscover what they all take for a new arrival with mild “curiosity and merely look at 1t intentiy, perhaps pecring around behind the tree, and then walk quietly away. Others peck the glass angrily and insist uron fighting, while vous females show much the y excitement that seizes upon most hens when they spy a snake. We tried the valiant old autocrat of the farm-yard with this trick, and he was at once roused to fury. Dropping his head when some ten feet in fron of the glass, he began the cautious ad vance by parallels, which every one familiar with poultry has seen before But of course he soon lost his enemy by moving too far to one side. After crowing fiercely and looking around uneasily for a few moments, he returned to the train of corn, and al- most instantly saw the strange cock nearer than before. More stealthy ap- proach, another failure to keep sight of the foe and greater excitement, and a third time he began to eat, only to be startled by the hostile presence nearer than ever. At last he worked right up to the glass and braced himself for the shock of combat, the counterfeit, of course, following his every movement with ominous celerity. There was one fierce peck at the angry head in the las: and then a crash, as our infuriated champion hurled him- self against his likeness, breaking the glass into a hundred fragments. The mingling of astonishment, rage, and triumph in this bird’s appearance, as he whirled about, startled at the cracking noise, and bewildered by the total disappearance of his enemy, was comical to behold. Then he rushed around behind the big pear-tree, evi- dently thinking that ~ the cowardly stranger might be hidden there. Not finding him. the victor strutted about, too excited to eat, and crowed long and loud over his unprecedented triumph. The other cock was entirely wiped out of existence, and our old fighter, who would crow deflantly in our arms when- ever he found himself heing carried off the premises, knowing from experience that a set-to was coming, could scarcely eredit his senscs. 20, ~1888,~TWELVE HAYDEN BROS.

MAX MEYER & Bro. e— IS THIS JAY GOULD'S TOMB? To Cover Half An Acra of Ground and to Be Body atcher Proof, Brooklyn Eagle: There ,is o rich man of New York, ported to be out of health, whois ing his summer in pursuits. Thoe architects who de his houses and yachts fo) now hard at work oa the drawings for a tomb that is to be at once the biggest, most ornate and most thorougly burglar proof last resting place in this country. It will reach some hundred or more feet in the air, co' half an acre of ground, require something three years to complete the rich and beautiful sculptures with which it will be adorned, and the vault to contain the ashes of the dead plutocrat is a marvel of mechani- cal ingenuity. In the first place the p nderous slabs of granite forming the foursides of the receptacle for the coftin are nearly three feet in thickness. The upper one moves on springs as smooth as a door, but only when certain intr cate combinations have been carried out_upon the lock, and any fumbling with the fastenings by a hand that does not know_the proper springs to be pressed and pulled awakens cortain en- gines of destruction which will make it decidedly uncomfortable for the fum- bler. But the hardy body-snatcher would have first to penctrate through many obstacles and difficulties before he reached the place where he could satis: factovily blow himself into smithereen There is room inside of this well-pro- tected tomb for two coflins, those of the millionaire and his wife, and the coffins themselves are also being manufactured by a Boston firm, and will cost in the neighborhood of 5,000 apiece. They are made of solid mahogany seven inches thick, carved in bold relief with the most elaborate designs, all vari- ously cmblematic of death, and espe; ially drawn for the carvers by Elihu Vedder, whose stern, heavily draped “Angel of the Darker Drink” was ex- hibited here last winter, its sculptur- esque beauty making a deep impression on the man who is ordering ali this mortuary splendor. On the top of the coffin is carved a splendid hatchment, and a broad silver scroll, exquisitely etched with the names and date: births of the two projected occupants, occupies a place on the lid directly over the face of one who should be within. Every available inch of the intermor is beautified with the cutting tools and within is hung a silken hammock made of heavy twisted black silk and with thick silver fringes depending from the sides. To the interior of the lid is fastened an ivory crucifix, copied from one in the museum in Venice, supposed to have been carved in the fourteenth century. In certain stages of the dis- e the sufferer seems to find a sort of gloomy satisfaction in preparing for death and dwelling upon the trappings of the tomb, but that is genenaliy while he still feels a pretty sure hope of get- ting better, and it is not as dangerous o sign as might be imagined. —_—— The Intelligent Horse. Mrs. Custer’s Book: My husband’s horse had almost human ways of talking with him, as he leaned far out of the saddle and his face on the gallant ani- mal’s head, and there was a gleam in the eye, a proud little toss of the head speaking back a whole world of affec- tion. The general could ride hanging quite out of sight from the opposite side, one foot caught in the stirrup, his hand on the mane, and it made no difference to his beloved friend; he took any mode that his master chose to cling o him as a matter of course, and curveted and pranced in the loftiest, pruuflest way. His manner as plainly sald as speech: “See what we two can do!” ] rarely knew him have a horse that did not soon become so pervaded with his spirit that they appeared to be absolutely one in feeling.

Chug up that old plug of yours; I've got one ovderly; don’t want another,”—this riding at a consid- erable distance in the rear, After a spur of tremendous speed back tlew the master to me to excuse him; he was ready now to ride slowly till *‘that side of mine came round to time,” which it quickly did, and I revenged the insult on my swift Lee, and the maligner at last called out, “That's not so bad a nag after all.” The horses bounded off the springy turf as if they really hated the necessity of touching the sod at all. They were very well matched in speed, and as on we flew we were neck by neck, side by side, never changing our places. Breathless at last, horses, dogs, and ourselves made a halt. The orderly with his slow troop horse was a speck in the distance. Of course, I had gone to prieces littlo by little between the mad speed and rushing through the wind. spend- cheerful mortuary Not What He Wanted.

Why Strangers Are Not Allowed to In- spect Them, You must exeuse to di=oblige you But 1t is an impe o order thit no one shall enter the vaults. You would not be permitted to go around alone, and we can spare no one to act as an es- cort,” This the firm but polite reply of the cashier of the United States sub- treasury to a lady from the country who had applied for permission to inspect the gold and silver in the vaults. She had, in_company ‘with a gentleman, asked Captain Thomas Sampson, the ial detective in charge of the Pine et door, for the same privilege. He , while giving the two strangers no encouragement, referred them to the cashicr. A look of disappointment ssed over the lady’s face as the an- swer was received. “You would be surprised,” eaid the cashier to a reporter, us the two turned away and passed out of the building by the Wall street door, **how muny per- sons ask to be allowed the privi rambling through tne vaults. are invariably steangers in the city.

A stranger could see very little there, although triansactions in millions might be going on.
