"Wesley Fxtkrs, Jf Lancaster, O., was buried a day or two go. Two sisters and five brothers were present, ranging in age Irom seventy-one to e?ghty-nine years.

Mr. Fairchilds, of New York, who will be iLs Assistant Secretariy of the Treasary, was Attorney General of New York State under Governor TddeD, and; conducted with much skill and great energy the prosecution of the Canal Hin.

A train dispatcher; in Washington, esti mating the crowd at tne inauguration, says: 'The Northern travel consisted of 333 train?, each train averagicgiourteen cars, and each car containing forty persons. That makes a total of 214.4S0. The? Southern travel con sisted of 1?1 trains,i averaging seven cars each, with an average of fifty-two persons to a car. If yon multiply that yon will find a total of C2.SS1, or a grand total of 277,3;t." These represent the persons taken there and out again. The Pullman Car Company dur ing the week took i'Slot their cars Into "Wash in; on. General Edward C. Walviial, who sac ceeds Mr. Lamar in tlia United States Sen ate, is a leading lawyer of Mississippi. His relations with Secretary Lamar are of tha most intimate character. He is a native of Richmond, Va., but has spent nearly all his life in MissisippL The only civil ofh'ce held by him was that of District Attorney. Ea tericg the Confederate Army as a private he wa3 rapidly promoted, and at the conclusion of the war was the commander of a division with the rank cf Major General, having held with distinction nearly all preceding positions. : This is the explanation fhat Senator Pendleton gives of the "coolness" now existing between Enquirer McLean and himself. He says: A short time before General Ilazen had been appointed to be chief cCicer of the Linal service Mr. McLean called upca me at my residencoat Cincinnati and atatcd that inasmuch as General Ilazen was his brother in-law he was very anxious to have hinx promoted to the head of the service. He raid that, as the matter would soon be sprung, he wanted all thi indorsement be could get for General Haren, and deMred me to write a letter sustaining the General or that position. I told Mr. McLean that I hculd be glad to do him any nervice consistent with Use respon ibilltses of mv position; that I regretted exceedingly, but could not wrt e a letter indorsing General ilazen for the tuition, as I considered him la no manner capable of filling the tame. Mr. McLean got very aury and threatening, and I politely showed him to the door. Ue said that he would come the next day for that letter. I informed him that It would be no use whatever, and closed the door. The next morning he called lor the letter, and I told

him I had written no letter and wocld not. From tnatrcomeatdatei the runt whici Mr. McLean baa trade upon tee He has med the Civil Service Kererm bill as a club, but he will find tiat it will jet te a Loom er an?.

THE EIQ LAND STEAL, Senator Van Wyck opened up his batteries yesterday on tha recent bigjland steal of Louisiana lands. He denounced It as "infamon?," and raid it was a matter of sincere regret that the last act of the administration should have been performed at the dictation and in the interest of corporate wealth. Take a sample cf this Republican's denunciation of the latest swindle of his party representatives: What right bad the Trepidant and Cabinet to waive Drosen conditions? That power was vested in Ccnireis alone. Uut why this ha.ne? Why should the Clerks work nichts and insult the religious clement of the Nation by workics? oa Sandy? What is the nece?sl!y. public oro;herwl33? This Republic was not to ptrish oi th 4th of March. Its tont inuity was not to bo disturbed ty changing the executive. There wa3 to bo no ni'-pf nticn of powers and duties. All otlier buslneislnihe Interior Department was conclude 1 &y March 4. ijd other executive departments orfc their foiccs night.s and Sunday so that the tipw administration might Ftart with only new business? The people should ask why this haste ? Was it daDgerous to trust the representatives of the people m the next Congress? Was itdaruerous to trust the incoming administration to do justice to the men claiming this grant? Ya3 thtre danger that the rights of settlers oa those IaLd3 would be recognized and the public domain iotected by the iacomin; adruiaistratlon? If f o, then It evidently had been instilled too eoon. He desired to sve public novice tnat the lesaiUy of tue patents would be conttMted, fo that the purchasers of the bonds now to be issued miiht not ciaiia the protection accorded iunoceat purcha&crs without notice. BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS. A foreigner landing on oar shores six months ago and reading the editorial columns of Republican papc-rs would have inferred that nothing short of chaos m3t befallythe country within a moon of the election saoold the D?mocratic ticket triumph. Manufacturing of all kinds was to suspend sine die. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Connecticut mills were chatting down over the bare possibility of Cleveland's election, never to resume in the event of the possi bility becoming a fact. That great Ameri can baby elephant, old P. T. Barnum, was going to sell out his 230,000 of real estate for seventy-five cents, and invest the changa in two-headed calves, fat women and ringtEiled monkeys. The colored people were to migrate, en rr 8339, from the South to avoid being remitted into slavery. It wa3 even feared that base ball would be abandoned and roller skating skeet out of popularity. Indianapolis would probably surrender her charter, Pogue'a Ran submerge the Court-houss and, though not threatened ia so many words, it was apprehended that the Indianapolis Journal might wrap itself in an obituary notice and squint itself into a lireproof coffin. But here we are in the fifth month after the election with increased activity in manufacturing, the general trade improved and improving, the great American circus humbug still collecting rents, the colored brother still crooning his melodies behind the long eared and lithe heeled mule of the Southern cotton plantation, and the Indiana Democratic Legislature bas passed the Civil Rights bill. The base ballist still wields the intelfectual willow, the skater jet ikeeteth, and our neighbor, the Journal, continues to rquirm and squint. Verily, the Republican papers of six months ago, if prophets were false prophets and the fcraigner reviewing them would inquire if they were not of tha El Mahdi pursuasion. It will be jut as well for the public to remember that the Republican orcass of six months ago end the Republican organs of to-day ere identically the Eame prophets. They are of the order of Daal. Their utterings and muttering ar9 not to be believed, even though they declare that "thus saitu the Lord." For reliable political prophesies lock j on to the Democratic press. SOCIALISTS VS. ANARCHISTS. The National Executive Committee of the Socialistic Labor rarty is oat in a card reprobatiüg the confusion of the socialistic organization with Anarchists. The c?rd recites that vherea3cortain Irish Wationalisti and New York and Chicago Anarchists, ender the rame cf Socialists orConimin'nL', Lave openly approved of recent dynamiie exp!cicE8 aid declare them to be the beat mears for the attainment of the end3 of socialisn?, the National Socialistic party desiras it known that that organization abhors and repudiates such acts of violence and condemns dynamitards in in common with mnrdeiers and robbers. An officer of tha Indianapolis brauch of the Socialistic Labor party writes the Sentinel that his party 'acts and giiate3 in the same war and manner as the Social Democratic party in Germany, by dlffusirg principles for the bettern entof the organization of society and to elect, wherever it is possible, their representatives into the law-making bodies, believing tbat the adoption of their principles is essential to prevent a s:c?al revolution. We believe that, as society is organized at present, the condition of the workiDg classes will grow worse and at last become unbearable, unless there is a change in the organization cf society." Havirg given the Soc ialistic Labor party the benefit of its repudiation of anachist designs, or of any sympathy with dynamitards, we are constrained to challenge the proposition that there is need for socialistic agitation in our country kindred to that it deems needful in Germany. What privilege can any citizen desire here which intelligence and good character can not seen; e? The avenues to every avocation and any station are open to every man alike From the socialistic standpoint our laws are open to no just reproach from the laboring mac. If there bai been legislation fostering momopclies which may oppress labor they are political rather than sccial abuses. Society is not n sponsible for such evils, but rather the corrupt or ill-adv'sed representatives whom the laboring population aid in sanding t) the halls cf legislation. For the correction cf these evils cot socialistic agitation Is potent, but intelligent and patriotic action at the ballot box. The evils which American labor has to

oom plain of have come in under the reign of the republican party. We bellsva it will be the aim of the Democratic party to as promptly &s possible amend tha lawj In tha interest of the masses. Tha work cannot bs accomplished In a day, nor in a year. Bot it will bs done as rapidly as possible. Meantime if the Soc:alisti3 Labor parly peoplowill turn their hands to industry; have their children enjoy the benefits of education which here Is free to all; observe lives of sobriety and economy; remember that in their hands they hold the strongest corrective of political evil, the ballot; qualify themselves by reading and thought for intelligently exercising the rights of American citizenship we say if socialistic agitation be abmdoned for the3a, Lhey will find themtelves contributing to the prosperity and social advancement of the laboring people. o-nemiial, the famous German actor, arrived in New York last SumUy. Five hundred actors and managers went in a small steamer down the bay to meet him. A Sunday night New York telegram says that a reception was given Sunday evening to Herr Sonnenthal in the large hall of the Liederkranz club house. His arrival wai the signal fcr a storm of cheers. Among .these preheat wtre Oiwald Cttendorfer and the veteran actor John Gilbert. In answer to Mr. Sttinway's tdJress of welcome Herr Svnnentbal taid ha was sorry that he could not remain longer than two wees, but that the Emperor demanded his presence at tha expiration cf that time. There are points in the a?tor"a career woithy of mention. S?nnenthal, who is the foremost actor in Germany, was born Decembers?, ls.ll, in Pesth, of Hebrew parents. He started cut to ba a carpenter, but on the day ho enlersd the guild ol hij profession, in Hungary, he visited the burg theater and was stage-struck. He gave Dp carpentering, worked around Fraa Bender's dramatic school in return for his instruction, and has slowly climbed to the top of the ladder. In 1SSI, tne twenty-

fifth anniversary of his entrance into the Ilolburg Theater, Sonnenthal received the grandest ovation ever paid to an artist in Europe. Vienna made a fete of the day. Teems were read in his praise, artists and authors Eent compliments and presents, and he was raised to the rank of the nobility by the Umperor, and presented with the order of the Iron Ciown, an honor never before conferred upon an actor. Sonnenthal speaks no English, but plays in French and German, having played with Coquelin, of the Comedie FrancaUe, by whom he is very highly epokeu of. He is manager of the Court Theater of Vienna, and the Emperor, Francis Joseph, was very much averse to his leaving home. The Imperial permission was reluctantly given for an absence oi one month only, Sonncnthal will play here twelve nights, bsg;nning to-moirow night, and at the close ot thi3 short season wiil immediately return to Vienna. PERSONALS. Lawrence Baerett intends to pass his summer vacation on Shakspeare's Avon. It is stated that Trince Albert Victor ii betrothed to the Princess Clementine, daughter cf the King of the Delgians, a young schoolgirl, acd twelve. The Hon. Jeff Stort3, member of the Missouri Legislature from Shannon County. Is credited with an intention to introduce a bill compelling circuses o do a'l they advertise. August Wilhelme, the violinist, has paid f") 2C0 for an ancient Goarnerl violin, which has been preserved in a single family for generations. According to rumor, he has resold the instrument to hia friend Galic, also a distinguished violinist, of Bohemian origin, for about the same sum. Bop well h8s been accepted as evidence in a London Court of Law. Sir James Hannon rejected the suggestion that a man who never passed a post opposite his house without meeting it with his finger wa3 so eccentric as to be incapable ofmakirrga will, on the ground that Dr. Johnson used to do the same seit of thing. It is written of Coles el Ingersoll that he likes to go into a gorgeous bar room and spend an hour or two sitting by one of the tables "indulging in a maddening succession of drinks of Vicby water." II9 never takes a drop of alcohol in thes9days. There was a time early In his career when be did it, but immediately after his marriage he Etcrred, and has seldom 10 much as touched a glass of wine since. A certain Rabbinoviez, originally a Jewish lawyer of St. Petersburg, and a promoter of Jewish emigration to Paltaline, has started a new movement in Russia fjr the conversion of his co-religionists to a modified fojm of Christianity. Tte Russian Government views this formation of Jewish-Christian communities with pleasure, and the celebrated Hebraic scholar, Delitsch, haa also prosounced in its favor. The sculptor Story hss written a lttter raying that Nathaniel Hawthorne's statements concernicg the Marquis Ossoli, Margaret Fuller's husband, are "totally fa!s 3." Says Mr. Story: ''I knew Ojsoli well. He was not a man of special ability, but he was a thorough gentleman, of old and distinguished family, a patriot who fought for'his country's independence, and a most amiable, modest and high minded man. His uncle was a monsignor of the church, his wo brothers guardis nobile In the Pope's service. There is Lot a word to be said against an cf ! hem." j The Xolghtatown Home. Communicated. The Times of March 5 contained an artjele ccncerniLg the KnJghtstown Institution in which it states that on Monday last an attendant whipped one Willie Sebastianen innate) with three whips, platted together, till his limbs and body were bruised and larcerated. These charges are false. The boy was not whipped with three whips, bat cnej neither

was his Hrrb3 or body braised by the whippiDg, as he was not whipped hard enough to brnue his body. If the gentleman who professes to have written the article in the Times would sta e facts in regard to the matter, he would not only do justice to the Institution, but thosa in charge of thisS'ate charity. If the employes are not allowed to punish the children, how long could discipline be maintained in the Institution? Anarchy would fellow. For, if 225 or 230 children were allowed to do just as they please, would not thiDcs come to a pretty pass in a short while? This Institution is run with a credit to the State, and Ibis trouble would never have occurred if the Superintendent had had the full power to employ or discharge the employes of the Institution. Yours truly, Attendant. March 7.

CITY LAW 3XAKERS. Meetings of the Conceit and Board or Aldermen Last Night. Both Bodies Pasa the City Hall and Market Houaa Bill The Engine House Contract Awarded, by the Council. A lerga curnler cf workingxnen, members of the Board cf Trade und others attended the special meeting cf the Council last evening to cc-mider the City Hail and Market Ecu!e bill, ard transact eush ether burirlessas might corao up. Th9 absentees were Messrs. Downey, Covcia and Morao. THEY V.ANT A HIRING. A communication was received from J. E. Oac'sett, Sut-exinttndent cf the Cealral Union Telephone Company, asking that the company have a hearing before a committee of the Council on general ordinances Nos. i and Ö, of 185, under which it is proposed to abrogate the agreement now existing between the city and the Telephone Company and to make a new one involving new con'ditiens, and seriously aifecting the company's interest. TCE NEW ENGINE HOUSE. The Committee on Contracts submitted a lengthy report with reference to the Prospect street engine house, together with the bids for the construction of that building. Ali of tbe bids exceeds the amount of the urexpended balance of the appropriation intended to cover all expenses connected with the purchase of the lot, preparation of tbe plans and cost of building. The committee, therefore, did net feel warranted in recommending the awarding the contract on present plans, but suggested that the Council receed from the limit placsd upon the expense of tbe building, or else authorize the City Civil Engineer and Chief Fire Engineer to make such alterations as would bring the cost of said building within the appropriation. The committee thought it would be more economical to increase the appropriation :00 than to have an inferior building. The original appropriation was -v. 000, which was to cover all expenses, including purchase of lot and the erection of building. The amount expended to data is $700 for a lot and $7. for plans and specidcations. The Council accepted the committee's report and awarded the contract to Lewis F. Burton, the lowest bidder, at $1.71!, and his bend was approved. TIIE ÜOARD of trade committed. Mr. Pearson moved that the Council hear from the members of the committee of six appointed recently by the Board of Trade to urge the passage of the City Hall and Market House ordinance, a'ter which they rasolvo themselves into a Committee cf the Whole and consider tho eame. The motion was adopted and General Foster, one of the Buard of Trade Committee, made a brief speech urging the pas3age of the ordinance. Judge E. B. Martmdale was then introduced, and in the course of his remarks said that the Board of Trade was composed of membara of both parties, and no partisan questions were prelected at any of Its meetings. The vote upon the resolution indorsing this ordinance bad been unanimous, all of the members being heartily in favor of its passaga. All of the labor Unions had indorsed it, and the people generally desired that some action be taken on it. They wanted the contract let to lowest contractors and th3 werk hoacstlv done. Speeches were then msde by S. T. Bowen and William D. Wiles and other members 01 the committee. IN SÄCF.ET SESSION'. Mr. Hees made en ineffectual effort to have tbe vote by which the motion to meet es a Committee of the Whole was adopted rtconsidf red. The reporters and spectators were then gently informed that their presence a not desirable and the Council rx et as a Committee of the Whole, remaining in eecret session until 10 o'clock when the doors were again thrown open to the public and a monkey and parrot exhibition began. THE CITY HALL AND MARKET ORDINANCE r ASSES. Mr. Pearson moved that the report of the committee be accspted. The motion was carr:ed by the folio wieg voe: Ayes Curry, Gallahue, Hough, Mact, McClelland, Newcomb, Pearson, Ree?, Reynolds, Sheppard, Smiihe r, Srahr, Thalman, Trusder, Wharton 1Ü. Nays Coy, Dowling, Doyle, Edenharter, Reinecke ö. The City Ha 1 and Mar-tet-hcuse ordinance, which had been amended only by striking out the Citizsns' Committee and compelling the contractor to give a contracl instead of a bond that he will co his work faithfully, was then submitted by Mr. Thaiman, ctaTman cf the committse. Tne ordinance was reid and Mr. Pearson moved that it be read the third time and placed upon Its passage. Son-e discussion ensued, and when Mr. Eden harter arose to eav something relative to the ordinance, Mr. Truster moved the previous question. Mr, Edsnbarter said that the abDve named gentleman t ad been guilty of a dishonorable act when he attempted to cut off debite in this manner. The Chair decided Mr. Edenharter out cf order and the ordinance was placed nt on Its third reading. Mr. Dowling offered en amendment to strike out that clause of Section ! reading as follows: "Provided I tat this ordinance does net repeal an ordinance to increase the revenaea of the city by taxing salcons, certain vehicles, etc." Mr. Dowling made a strocz speech In favor of his amendment, but on motion Pearson it was tabled. Mr. then bobbed cd and thought tte Mayor should prevail of Mr. Trcssler said he upon Mr. Edenharter to make him an apology fcr having accused him of being guilty of a dishonorable act. If th9 Chair didn't do auj thing in the matter he would be compelled to take it in his own hands. Mr. Edenbarter. with a smile on his face, explained that ha had been a little hasty, but he did not think Mr. Trns3ler was justified inputting oif debate on bo important a measure. Tms explanation seemed to satisfy Mr. Trassier, and all was sarene once more. The ordinance was then engrossed and Eafsed, Messrs. Csy, Dowlinz, Doyle, Edenarter and Reinccke, as before, voting in tbe negative. Mr. Dcwling. in explanation of his vote, said he was in f ayor of building a city

hall and market house but was not in favor of this ordinance bo long as it contained the clause which a few minute? before be endeavored to have stricken out. Dr. Edenbarter in explaining his vote submitted a written protest, in which he held tbat the ordinance did Dot contemplate the construction of such buildings as were expre seed In Dr. Tomlinson'a will. Mr. Tearson moved that the protest be' filed in the Clerk's Office but not printed. Carriad by a vote of IG to 5. The ordinance was then sent into the board, and the Council adjourned. , The Hoard of Aldermen The Boanl of Aldermen met last night with all but one member present. The City Clerk reported tbat the Council in regular session adhered to their former actian regarding the awarding ot the contract to John Elliott for services as veterinarv bitptcn to the hoiees in the Fire Department, ilr. Pritchard moved to refer to the Chief of tbe Fire Department with power to act. Discmslcn ensued, which at times became watm. After some time Mr. King moved to lay the motion on the table. Carried. Mr, Prier moved to refer the matter to a committee of three from tbe Board and an equal number from the Council with the Fire Chief. Mr. King moved to substitute by concurring in the action of the Council. Mr. King's motion was lost and Mr. Prier'a motion was adopted. Tbe President named Aldermen Prier, King ard Bernhamer on the committee. Several atteirp s were made by members to direct the attention of tbe board to the fact that Dr. L. O. Greicer had been invited to bid on the contract: tbat he had so bid, and that his bid was $30 less than all others. It wa3 claim d that Dr. Greiner was as well qualified as Drs. Elliott or Pritchard, and that tt ere W83 every reason why his bid should have been accepted. The only objection to this course was understood to be because s'-mebedy in the Fire Department did not like Greiner personally; but this, it was urged, shca!d not govern the Council and Bsard of Aldermen in the matter of awarding tte contract. For some reason the majority ignored Dr. Greiner's claim in the matter aDd the quarrel as to the respective merits of Dr. Elliott and Dr. Tritchard. A number of matters from the Council were presented for concurrence. In the matter of the proposed donation of twenty acres to the Oliver Chilled Plow Works, as an inducement to secure the industry for this city, was, on motion of Mr. Ilorison, not concurred in. Tbe ordinance directing the Big Four Road to place a tiagman at the Maryland street crossing was taken up and pissed. The board took a rec?ss until 11 o'clock, when the City Hal) and Market-house bill was brought in from the committee and unanimously passed. The board then adjourned.

HO.UE AUA IX. Roes Clark Returns From Washington and Tells All About the Inauguration, the Washington Monument and Other Matters. Mr. Rocs Clark returned yesterday from his pilgrimage to Washington, and last evening a Sentinel reporter elicited from him some interesting observations of President Cleveland, the inauguration ceremonies and general politics. "What did you think cf the inauguration?1' "It waa certainly a grand success. There ha3 never been anything like it in the history of the country. Old residents of Washington who have witnessed inaugurations for mny years informed me that this surpassed all the others in every particular. Standing on the steps cf the Capitol and looking toward the White House while the procession was passing up Pennsylvania avenue, a pageant was presented ceer to be forgotten. Thegally decorated avenue, lined with a half million spectators, the military with their bayonets glistening in the sunlight, the civic crganizatiocs with their beautiful banners, bands and uniforms as they marched on recalled to one's mind Gibbon's description of the triumphs the victorious returning Generals exhibed on tbe streets of ancient Rome." "Did you hear tbe inaugural address?" "I stood well in front of the President during its delivery. Mr. Cleveland is a good orator, na3 a strong, penetrating voice, and his speech was heard by a large portion of tbe vast congregation present " "How were joa impressed with the President?" "I w?s most favorably impressed with him. He is a very different person from what one would be led to suppose from his pictures. He strikf s one as Oeing an inteliectual man, with broad views. In conversation he is an easy talker, but with a firmset jaw, which leaves an impression cn your min4 that Mr. Cleveland i3 likely to have considerable to do with this administration. When seeing him and hearing him I could net help but feel that although fresh from the people, we had elected a great man President." "I suppose you went to tbe inauguration ball?" "No, cfrtasa participant. I only looked in on it for a few moments. I consider the ball room, when lighted ud and enlivened by the merry throng, one ot the finest eights any one ever beheld. O! course I couldn't describe it to you. Tha only thing you can think of to give you an idea of its beauty and splendor is a grand transformation fairyland scene as sometimes seen at the theater, and it very much surpassed the finest one of thosa I eve'r saw." "Are there maay Indiana Demccratj in Washington seeking places?" "There is a large contingent of them in Washington seeking appointments. Aqullla Jones, Cass Byfieid, George Geiger and Frank Creelman are in hot pursuit cf the Indianapolis Po3toflice. Ed Hawkins, of Laporte. wants to be United States Marshal. Harry Francis is working like a beaver for Mitsitsippi River Commissioner. Senator Bell, ot Fort Wayne, is on the ground, and it i said he has his eyes on the same position. John S. Williams, ot Lafayette, is pushing his claim for Assistant Postmaster General. Austin Drown is mingling with the hungry and thirsty, and it is rumored that he would accept the position of Third Assistant Postmaster General. Dr. Hunter, of Lawrenceburz, feels pretttv sure that he will be Collector of Revenue, and Colonel Bannister of the same place be lieves that he is about fitted for one of the auditorships ot the Treasury. Bayless Haana wants to b Minister to Mexico, but feels somewhat discouraged from the fact that Cerro Gordo Williams is an aspirant for tha eame honor. Eb Henderson is not clear as to the position he will sees, and it may be something in Washington. Mr. McBall, who was Secretary of the Chicago Convention, is also a candicate for a Federal position. Captain George Brown, a brother of Austin, wants to be chief of the Bureau of Djcks and Yards of tbe Navy. There are quite a large number of Demscrats from Indiana from the smaller towra present, making a canvass for positions. The Hoosiers are mostly to be found . about the lobby of the Willard Hotel, probably for the reason that Governor Hendrick3 resides there. Nearly all the canidates to whom I epoke felt very hopeful of success, and were making a canvass pretty much in the same manner that they do before a State Convention; that is, they talk indiscriminately to

those around them about their respectiva claims to recognition. Strange to eay, however, men who have live i around Waihia?tcn informed toe that there were not any mere cSice seekers, if as many, ai there were after the succession of each new Republican President." , "Did yoa', visit the departments, and are the employes resigned to give up their places?" ? "Well, I fchculd say they are decldely not resigned to go. The part of tbe inaujral address which was read by the department clerks was that in re'ailoa to civil servi:a reform,andthey hadit committed to rneniorv before tbe sun went down. In talking wita sf veral of thsm in the Patent O.'lice and Pension Derartraent about a possible change, my observation was that they were abiut ai much resigned to go as they would ba to walk up to a guillotine to have their hedi cut 02. I was told that Eeveral had turned Democrat since the election and soaeht t march in Democratic clubs in the inaugural prcce ssion.' "Did you visit the monument, and what wa your impression cf it?'' "Everybody visits tbe monument. It impressed me as huge pile cf marble standing between heaven and earth, but without any particular attractiveness. It i- absolutely devoid of any ornamentation, and, being pyramidal In thape. dos not eeem so very high. If it is cot fenced up before long, the relic hunters and cranks will carry it away by piec3meal. It is now written all over with names of visitors. ; One short leaded, but highly ambitions young rxau, observing that I was tall, requested me to let him climb np on my shoulder and stand ther, so that be might write bis name higher npthan any one else. As I was opposed to the writing business and didn't care to make a step ladder of mvself, I wa9 constrained to deny his modest request " "How is Vice President Hendrick3 boking?'' : "He never locked better in his Jif. He went through the worry and handshaking incident to the inauguration without showing the least signs cf fatigue. He is exceedingly popular, and while I eat in his room for a tew moments a delegation frsm Kansas, one from Nebraska, one from Montana and another from MiisDuri called ia the order earned. In the inaugural pro:eseion he received a greeting equal to the President. Governor Hendricks 13 annoyed considerably over the foolish reports that he was instrumental in keeping McDonald oat of the Cabinet. By the way, that report is wholly without foundation.
