Toe litter herein the corner, in tin sixth story, cornmending a view of City Battery and bay. Unsurpassed anywhere; and it is said the ex-President and ex-Seuator spent many an .hour in genial converse, as they sat locking oat upon this scene of city and water. Grant, however, Is gone; ConLling remains, and in his nat apartments is one of the busiest J&wyers ia the metropolis. The front room ia the library; books cover every iDch of available wall space; a long table laden with records, in&nnacript and printed briefs, stenographers' rotes, with other paraphernalia of a law office, indicate that something mora solid than captivating oratory emanates fr jm the midnight oil of the blaiwart chief. ME. COSKLINO's MASNHB is more cordial than is reported; he greets yoa pleasantly as yon are announced, and no n atier how engrossed, words of courteous speech accompany the invitation to be seated. Upon the occasion of your correspondents' visit, be turned from bis lare iefck loaded with papers, acd poising himself leisurely in his revolving chair, seemed to inyite easy discussion of. the business at band. While we talked tie paired his nails and examined his hand?, Vinui't' tbem over arid over, &3 if in search of some ttray bit of soot that m'ht perchacce Lave settled to mar their immaculate cleanliness for it may be remarked that he in lis stme fastid:oas person in dreas and t ersonal habi's. U;s office is neat in aopearance, and adjoining is a toilet, tltteinpat bis own expense, prominent in which are hu, putuerous tooib, nail and other brushes, lie was dressed with ecrupalou care in a suit of Seech t sveed, clo'h pa'ters of the same material over hi shoes, and his neck bearing a tie of similar ebade. Ilia hair is almost white; ihe curl that marked him aa the Adouis of the Senate, and trade fau-ous by Nast, ha3 Imit disappeared, lesvin however more I rt mi oent a fail for-head of noble proparvioes. A teat niaboiny stationery case lay in easy Teach, aad a'.ocg with various styles oflgai fccadiDgs were sonic grades of tinted papr, bearing an elaborate cat of arms in ooitrp. inscribed with his crest and taaito, ' Ttrllr.ÄX et audeoV Iniues over, an alterr i t nas made to draw Lim into pjlitics. To tbib re seenifd fivers, declaring bo Wd3 o;trf politics." Upon being asked what were the probabilities of Riaine's success, he nnetftrtd, "The chance for Republican success tre not as preat as they should be," et odiously avoiding the mention of of B'aie's name. The nearest he came to it Cjurirg tbe entire conversation was when, having reference to the conduct of the campaign, he epeke of "the managers and pertens in the CJifldenca ot the Presidential candidate." He deplored TI PERSONALITY OF THE CA XV AS.-, but did not hesitate to declare that m his opinion it lav in the power of the managers, etc, cf the Republicans to have prevented it entirely." "Then yon think." said I. "that Blaine Knew of the projected attack of sliaie upon Olevelpnd, and could Lave prevented it by hi merest word?' That such is the fact," said be, straightening up to bis full height, 'is of common report. I no know that printed matter containing charges that Bhould be permitted to disgrace no campaign was circulated in West Virginia and perhaps elsewhere, with the knowledge of the Republican managers, if cot at their instigation. Why, sir," rising to Lia feet and emphasizing with an oratorical waving gesture of the band, "those trhite pa?f s, black with the soot and slime cf scandal, fell noon the hills and dates of West Virginia Like the flakes of a wintry snowstorm." Speaking of tba B'aine Sentinel libel Bait tie bad much to say in derision of its dramatic origin, and exclaimed finally with (ba'Ee&tness: "Had 1 in charge the defense of that suit the wires should in twenty-tour hour have v lirrled bark with eqn; publicity, if not dramatic fignre, a legal invitation to testify over the wire, if yon please, In answer to in tei rogatories ibaa propounded $3 him. He should have been at once asked bj telemph to come on a day certain and Boon; to appear in open court and placed in a position of pabiioand diaaetrons embarrassment if he refused, A dramatic Institution of suit by telegraph is of unususl occurrence, and if there be a valid deferee, the wire should by no means be the minor channel of response, thoub. I presume the gentlemen upon the ground Lave done all that the conditions called for." A Mr. Mc entered at this moment, and rising to greet bim Mr. Con kling remarked"Here comes my friend Colonel Mc . who is cot for Cleveland and Reform. Ah. sir, le is a man of untold wealth, and largely interested in corporation property; tx clceeiy allied to monopoly and corruption to forsake them and to think for himself. lie will answer your question about the result In November by an expectation ba-ei upon firm rpfolve and unlimited usa of money in eami-aign work." A riSSSi LVAMS RVIL.EO AD OFFIC I AL cf prominence recently returned from Elrope, was def-cautin upon the conveniences and e icellence of the hotel provision for travelers otlered by ths railways in England; us. for example, at Charing Cross, London, and tbe Northwestern at Liverpool. Dei rig asked why bis company did not do something of the sort here, be replied that it would not pay in New York, for the reason that ifople were determined to go "up town." or at best locate in the business reteioD of Union and lladiaon Squares, lie admitted that in this retfird fit least the New Tort Central Railroad Companv had an insuperable advantage in the situation ot their station, landing their passengers in the very heart of the c'ty, and among tha up-tojen avenues. Hotels nuraeroan have operated near here, but the demand for lirst-claas accommodations to the traveler, 89 well as the penntnent truest, has only this month been met by the opening of a palatial house, tbe Alurray Hill, covering an entire block, al most opposite the Grand Central Depot, whither baggage is transferred free. It is -without an equal In New York for size, com fort and convenience, Horae cars, elevated railroad and stages start from its very doors in all directions. Tbe bouse itself is an architectural beauty, being built of Cape Ann granite and Carlisle brown stone and red sandstone, with elaborate arches and carvings. It ia by far the largest boUl in New York and is kept on ootn American and European plans. Standing upon tbe very crest ot the rise known from its aristocratic and fashionable larroandinzi ma Murray 11111, tbe birds-eye view from the ejghtn etcry and tbe tower ia salu to be 05 OF THE riKKST 15 TUS MKTnoroLis.

The amount of first c'a-s travel in this country has so increased of late years that first-dasB hotel accommolatioos are not equal to the demand, not to speak of the iaFoilicient depot facilities. Even now the Grand Central Station is about to be doubled in size, ground having just been brokea for

I. the purpose, while only a few years a?o thst depot wus considered too large, ihe predilection of wealthy citizens to forego tha cores and responsibilities of housekeeping, even in flats, has much to do with tha establishment of fcuch hotels as the Murray H;lt, where comforts are equal to home, ana surroundings superior, in point of furnish ing and adornment. The hotel has been open only a few weeks and is about full. An army of workmen is still employed about tbe oilioes and halls, putting on the fiiishing touches; but an impatient public ref und to wait, crowding in upon thero. Aln.viy it baa been the scene of several basqneti, notably that of the Ichthyophagus Club, whose "fsh dinner" has been reported by telegraph broadcast, and at which Hon. S. S. Cox, Snrgeoc General nammoal and Theodore Iloosevelt made their famous speeches last week. Perhaps one secret of the lavish expenditure in furnishing) lie3 in the faet that the senior proprietor i.?. though quite young, a retired Wall street broker and banker, while h-s partner, llr.

Styng to the Governor tuat Indiana would lebake Ohio in November, ho replied with much interest and erne;tness: "I expect it, tir: 1 do indeed. The home of Hendricks must aud will do her duty. I look to her mere than she imagines.'' Mr. Cleveland is a much beer looking man than his pictures indicate. He is Ly no means as Itre and disproporlioned as represented, while bis exi.ret.sion is full of thought, and hid broTV veers an intellectual cast. Indiana. Cuts and Dogs That Think. fGoo'l Cheer. Major isn't a setter, nor a'cocker spaniel, nor a Lanerick pnp. He is only a homely, stub-taiiod, cropeured, yellow cur, but for KEOwmgncas and loviuguess Major "takes the cake." Kitty Oray ia an uTt?ct'onate lit tle creature, and tbe two not only tolerate each other, but actually enjoy playing and eating together Oae p'ate of bones and meat doeB lo both, at-d they lie amica bly pide by side on the mat. In deed, on cold nights Kitty will carl herself Utwtfn the Major's paws. Tbey rarely fall oct ur juarreL If Kitty thinks ai3jor Helps bi:T!f too generously from the plate, she brings bim back to propriety by a d'.ght tap on the nose with her pt.w. And if Major fcnds Ler outelde tbe garden gate, be gently drives her home, thereby proving that it is innate in the masculine gender to keep the other sex from showing too much inder-ndence. Msior likes to tike bis walks abroad, and pu.as stays at home, aid when she bears his l ark at t'cdoor runs to welcome him. 0.e day hi3 bark didn't bring any one to let bim in, and tha cat o"?ed her feline wits to same account. The door-bell hung a bhort distance from the ilor, and aha struck it with her paw. The sound brought roe into the entry, and I eaw passy preparing for another strike, whila 2Jajor was outside almost barking his bead oil On open ing the door he ru&hed in, and thoy wer3 soon tearing aronnd the dininq-room in high Irolic. Jon t tell me cats can't put this and that tofretber. Furthermore, Major knows when Smday comes. I'm not prepared to nay he can count or keep run of tbe days of the week, or that be feels more sarioasly inclined cn Sunday than on other cays. But he has found out he mnst not accompany as to church. The truth of this was made pain fully arrarent one Sunday, ween he was kicked down tbe steps of the sacred edihee by tbe Dot very gentle foot of the sexton. Iv'ow if he see3 me put ca rcy seeoticl-oett hat and shawl, he knows I am going to market, and be circles round me with Ehort yelps 01 delikat, am iQ9i3ts on carrying my basket, or even my paras iL tint jnst mart tue cnange wnen i stand in front of the glass and tie on my best bonnet. He cemes around, watche9 me a while, and then mournfully retires under the lounge. He knows there is no going to market that d8y with nice little bones thrown t him by tbe friendly butcher. Dogs have their likes and dislikes, and nerves, aa well its we humans., A friend of mine ha a noble watch-dog. He knows enough and i3 ttrong enough to guard the house and keep out of the yard disreputable-looking characters, but the approach of a thunderstcrm will change bim into a miserable, qeivericj mass of terror. Every llasl. of ligbthirg brings him on his knees, as it were. He feels when the storm is coming, ai.d whine at the door in the most piteous manner. My friend takes compaiou on bis suITerincs, lets him iD, and the dog goes stra'pht to a large, dark cioet. In this is placed a lighted lamp, the door it shnt. and the dog, not being able to Bee the (lashes, stats quietly till the storm is over. An Important Army Decision. Wa?hinoton, Oct. 27. decision was rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States to-day In the longevity pay case of tbe United States, appellant, against Lieutenant Cbarlea Morton, on appeal from the Court of Claims. Tbe Court holds that the, time of eervics of a cadet in the Military Academy at West Toint must be regarded as "actual time service in the army" within the meaning of the acts of 1881 and ls&z in Computing his longevity pay. Under the statutes involved in this case a cadet at Weit Point is serving in the army as fully as an olTicer retired from actual service is serving in tbe array under the statutes whieh apply to mm. lbe judgment ot theUonrt or uiauns is affirmed.

An Interesting Interview with Commodore Sliafrldt, of tbe Panama Canal Enfe rprle. Fortmit of nimnelf nnd UN Son, Lleuten. antShuteldt, nnd St. de lsceikeps, Etc. Wa8iiingtox, Oct. 24. AmoDg tbe recent arrivals ia Washington it that of Commodore fchofeldt, who has jast come fr:m an Inspec tion of tbe Pacama Canr.I. r-nd who s regarded here as the begt posted man in Washington, if not in this country, on the Conzo country, about which, the groat nations of tbe world are to Ehort!y hold a conference. There are few men in Washingron, or indeed in this rouT, who have fieea as much of the world l0 travel an-? arc&i observation and contact, as Las Commodore SanfeldL By nature a traveler and a close observer, a thoroueh American and believer la the institutions of this country, an intelligent and cultured gentleman, he bas made excellent use of the opportunities which his long servlca in the Nary bas given him. His fimoas tour around tbe world in he Tionderoga on a special mission, and his treaty with Cjre, the first ever negotiated with that strange Nation, are but a slight feature of a long career of activity which has carried him to every part of the world, always a "rutaiioaary"in bth&lf of American methods and American enterpries. It was on hit trip round the world in the Ticcnderrga. from 1S78 to J 30, ths.t ue visited tbe Congo U'ver and arljtcnt coTi'try, arc! it was to ask his views of lais coMMODor.E enrriLDT. ccuatry and people that your correHoonde t csl'ed on him at his beautiful home n Seventeenth street, findiDg him full of ia'ormat.oD, not only on ihs suhjbt but up in the l'anaraa Canal as well, from an inspection of which he has just come. "I was in fc-an Francisco," he said, "and having a gold deal of curiosity to see f r myself just what the Panama Canal is and whit is beingdona there, I wc nt down and took a look at it." "And the reading public, Commodore, will be very much interested to know what you Baw there and what were your conclusions." Well." he8.ni!ed, "my exclusions wera not very favorable to tbe prpecU for the completion of the enterprise. To tell all that 1 taw would take a prettv long time, but that is about the summary of my conclusions." "ion do not expect to see the canal com pleted soon, then?" "No, and 1 seriously douot if it will completed. Tbey have spent there already as much as the Saez Canal C03t when opened to traüle, and have merely scratched tbe surtace; nothing more It is just as though 1 should tf.ko a pin and scratch the surface of this bard table besda me, and expect to go on scratching until I had cut it iito. M. Ds Lcs'ets accomplished a great.work in the Suez Canal, and doubtless nelieves tht he is to do more in the Panama Canal, bat he will had a very dill'erent Btate of aifairs there, and obstacles to overcome beside which those of the Saf z Canal were mere trifles. The fact seems to be that this work was undertaken without an adequate idea of the situation. Tbe Trench are eritamiastic for D3 Lewps, and he hid but to there and soratf.h tbe ground, look over tbe situation and declare LIFXTPN ANT SHÜIELPT. it practicable, and tbe people of F ranos were ready to come down with their funds Now tbe original sum is already exhaust 3, and as I said there is little to show for iL" "What has been done thus far, Conmodore, besides the purchase of the railway there and tbe construction of huge hospitals and boarding houses for the men?" "Well, the surface has been scratched, as I said, all the way across, part of tbe way by some dipirjfr. but most of the distance merely surveving tbe route and clearing off tbe timber and surface obstructions. At tbe Atlantic end there has been a really good harbor constructed, and thera are some American contractors at work dredging tbe bed of the canal for a distance of several miles into the interior." "Then the projectors of tbe enterprise are really in earnest in the matter, and evidently expect to go forward with Jit?" 'Ob, yes, undoubtedly; but they have apparently no adequate conception of the difficulties to overcome. For instance, they did not baye any accurate geological survey of the isthmus and the route made before beginning, and tbe consequence is that wben they began they did not know what they were goln to encounter underground. Where tbey are at work now it is comparative! tssy, bat when they get to the mountains and have to mate thosa trcmeudous cuts, there will probably be a cessation for want of tnnd. Yoa see there is no telling what tly will mf et with in that sort of a work. Between solid granite ami qhhksAnd it isimf oesible to make eeti mates, and hear there is plenty of the quicksand, while everybody knows there is a superabundance ot the rock. "What, then, do yon think la the future ot the canal?" I think it will be found impossible to

Ms

rsec BoftMeit funds to complete It, ao i tha the woik wilt have to be uspendedL. It wit! take, in my opinion, $100 000,000 to d tMU work, snd then I don't believe it cai os a t con.plit-hed on the plans originally mad, f ir a canal without locks. It may be completed ou ttiue, but if so. it will probably b9 after the original investors, and a koxI ma iy others, have ttepped down and oat. o: c tirse money enough will acorn pluh at t-fct anything, tut I doubt if it will be fontd practicable tn pat tbe amount lato Ibis et'tfrptise that it will rtquirs for its tucie-jful ccmplctioa." "And wtet do yoa think of tbe other route and other can&l schemes in that section?" 'No better. I don't believe tbey wDu'd c-.M any l?s than this Hail ray trnp jrta'it n in, I tb'nfc the only solution of the pnb em of Com -iure scross the isthmus." "Arid by that do you mean the Eads ship railway pnject?" No; I doabt the pr&c Jcabi'lty of that, tco. 1 ntfan or.1iiary, hut. tr-iod. sfeaoi r'lwy fscii'ties That will ba fouati, I think, both pooib e and p'acticahlti. while the ott ers, tannch ps3ib'a, will. I believe, ba

Changing the subject, Cooiodore, from the 'new world' to a newer one, what are 3 our views about the Coago Valley and th j conference of Nations to be held ia Europe tbcrtly to con-dder it?" "Well," be said refiectively, "that ia another pretty broad . estion I can answer it safely, however, by ssying that I am in favor of anything thtt will break the Po-tuguese supremacy that is be-i:g attempted to b fastened upon fiat country. Tho rule of the Fortunes? has b-en mtrked with so many unsatisfactory features that I think I spt ak not only my own eentiments, but those of almost evry tareful cberver.iu faying that nay concerned set orywhicn will prevent that nation fr j:u ffcti-bPsLing supremacy over the Cougo Valley, ei d it will opwi it cp to frrq trada by all rations, is devoutly to h9 wished for.

"Dr yoa approve of tbe proposition that the United States Government should take any art in tbe a Hairs of this conference or of tbeconntry in qnestion?" "Yes: I was consulted hut winter with reference to the propriety of recognizing the International Association, and favored it. fLere would be little trouble in re-establishing oor commerce there. American cottoa and cot ten cloth is tbe chief article of mV there aside from rum, American cottous were very popular with the people there, as were a'so others cf our productions; but ws lost that trade during tbe war and have never regained it, though it would be easy to do sx" "W hat do you think of Stanley's proposition for the construction of a railway to connect tbe Lower Congo' with the Upner CoDgo, along the 2.15 miles pf nnnavigable streem between the two, ana connecting the 3,000 miles of navigable rivers in the Upper Congo country with the Lower Congo Eiver and tbe eea7" "It may te practicable, but I should suppose a railway connecting tbe Otroai. River, which la cavicabl, with, the Upper Congo would be more easily constructed, as the country abbe the im navigable portion of the Congo is very rough, while between the Ogowai and the Upper Congo it is more level. It seems to me, however." said the Commodore, by way f conclusion, "that tbere is a better field further up tbe coast for our trade in and through Liberia, where all the sentiment and influence are in oar favor, and where we may reach tbe natives of the interior of Africa through these channels." Commodore Shufeldt'a son. Lieutenant liason A. Shufeldt, who has just returned from Madagascar, seems to be following in the ;ootteps cf his father. Ilia report of his tobr through the land of Hoyas, which is to be fiied at the Navy Department ia a few days, is a thrilling document. His trip across Madagascar, which occupied about 100 days, resulted in the death of ail his white companions and oyer 400 ot the (XX) men who started üh hin.

Henry Ward Beecber, in the courss of a political speech to-rJght in the Rink at Brooklyn, said the air is murky with stories of Mr Cleveland's private life. Lies so cruel, eo Lrtse, so atrocious, have never before been set in motion. As tbe cocatrice's eggs are being hatched by rat-h clergymen, they could not go to Mr. Cleveland with honest inqniry, hut opened their ears to tbe barlot and drunkard, and promulgate arid poison the faith of holy men and innocentjwomen." Do timid ministers ever reflect that the guilt of tbe vice cr tbe ciime measures the guilt of him who charges it falsely ?"
