Whence They Come and IVhat They Do —ilow to treat with Customers—An Ocelli’ tUon Which Requires Knowledge of the World—Courtesy, Not Obsequiousness. Of all the creatures of metropolitan commercial life the most interesting and fascinating is the iioor-walkor. A walkip«S directory, a street guide, and a dictionary of names, he a'so enjoys the distinction of being considered the leading man of the house, if not one of the principal partuers. Polite to rich and poor alike, he is a continual lay of sunshine. He is found most active and most at home in the great business houses of Chicago. He knows the store from cellar to garret, and #here $ thousand and one questions are asked daily he is ready with a thousand and one , prompt answers. The women, who are apt to, be the principal customers, are tne recipients of his most solicitous attentions. 'The pink of politeness, ho is regarded by most of them as an authority on all questions of dress and etiquette. has a faculty for remembering names which would astonish a hotel-clerk. Then, he has the advantage of the hotel-man in understanding the peculiarities of his customers. He is something more than a dictionary of names, and something less than a fash-ion-plate. Though scrupulously neat he is never extravagantly dressed. Diamonds possess no especial attraction for him, except when they are seen upon the person of a customer, and yet he understands as well as anybody that they are not a recommendation in ail cases. He has better means of settling questions of tinaneial standing, for he may go to the manager, his superior, who is supposed to know all things Jcnowable. ‘ JFST VTOAT THE FLOOK-w/l,KER IS To explain the exact position of a floor-walker to the outside world, according to one authority, it may bo given as that of assistant manager, the term floor-walker having boen gradually applied as being more explanatory of nis duties. In most large retail stores the space is divided up into departments, each one of which is under the care of a floor-walker, as, for instance, the lace department, the silk department, and the hosiery department. Then there are several who are expected to keep a closo watch about the front door whose especial duty is to welcome visitors and direct them to the department where -dire goods they desire can be found. They are responsible for the behavior of a certain number of Clerks and casl^boys, to whom they are equally a terror and an object r of envy. It is generally admitted that I t*i£re. ’s as mi!ch *n the appearance and - behavior of a floor-walker as there" Is in hrts business,taet and powers of observa

won. lo mstire success ho must be a thorough optimist whose sunny views of life must not be shaken by a cross word from the proprietor,- or' an insult spr aperies of insults from the customers. He would make a poor Hamlet, but the best paid member of the craft in t hieago is said to’be a lino comedian. He is considered an example unto all his fellow-sinners, because h:s cojnduet.is always the same, and-he can tell the most outrageous lie and the most solemn truth in the same melancholy and earnest tones. He works in anj^kehlishmcnt owned by two -pahtners, and half the customers know him as one partner and the other half as the other. It makes no difference to him, and ho never thinks of Correcting tlie mistake. Nor does he fear the wrath of the proprietor, lor they regard him as their representative in most of the duties ho performs; and, as- people value most highly little acts of politeness coming direct from the head of a largo bazar, the courtesies extended by the subaltern if received under this illusion are just as valuable. KOT AN ABUNDANT ARTICLE. “You.iuust not get the impression,” said a lloor-wajker’in one of the large State street stores, “that a floor-walker can be picked up just anywhere. Plenty of good honest fellows try it and fail. Thgje is, you might say, a constant 1 recession of such men coming and going from this store. Tlic positions aresojighton accounted the liberal pay attached, and what seems to be easy work. There are a few who do succeed in making themselves useful, but outside of these the others come and go. They f»U to catch the idea of the work, arid, instead of lightening the burdens of those under them by keeping things systematized, and giving an impetus to trade by their attentions to customers, they only succeed in getting in the way as often as possible. There, now you can oatcri my meaning! Did you see thatjfellow collide with thecash-bov? Aftl see that top; he turns to scold, the boy and steps-oh a woman's dress, undertakes to apologize and. runs jajn against another customer! Well, he is a new man, and he is awkward and out of'place. Ho may do hotter In time, and-w it be given a chance, but I rattier think he belongs bohipd the counter. He was reeently a salesman at the silk counter, and I am afraid he staid there too long. He seems—to- bravo got settled in his ways and to feel the need of the protection afforded by the counter." WHERE THEV COME FROM. ' t‘Are clei ks often promoted to suoli positions P” “The most of us have been clerks at some time or other in our lives, but changes are not often made in these large-stones. If a man is a good clerk they need him where ho is, and if they nefcd.S floor-walker they hire one who bah “had experience somewhere else. They get their start as a rule in the smaller Mores, and often they bring-o certain amount of trade with them? You know there are plenty of floorwalkers who have customers who^would follow tjjem from one store to another. Yhjj.js (*ne of -the differences between thfffoapri the dents who have no such ‘Svhat is the matter with the clerks?" “It’s hard to say, but thby are not what they used to be. The most of tmim are careless arid dispirited and need to be watched. They can sail whatever the customer calls for, but it takes a good salesman to make happy suggestions of things’ forgdttbn by tlie customer and lead him or her on until everything needed has been purchased.'’' “I’ll tell you,” said another experienced floor-walker,, “the one thing I deem' most valuable in a floor- ' ■ knowledge of dyuraotrir -;y to read countenances. . is to treat different peoplo in a way. There are women who " a More with the airs of a right by everybody ; ahead as if they knew everything. Well, lent is to stand back

.— '-= and lot them pass, as they do in Richard'. |ll., you know, when they come on with the coffin. Stand back and let them pass.” repeated thetioor-walker, low-1 mg and holding out his open palms as he ran his back against a party of women. IS OTHER DATS. "Do you know hoar long floor-walk-ers have been employed in Chicago!”’ “Not exactly. 1 think about twentyfive yearfjj^. J can remember a. time when, .the clerks, and floor-walkers in' one of the principal stores were all one andthe same. Atone time we mhde one own change from the moneydrawer, taking the pay fer the goods just ns the cashier docs now. In my case I... remember 1 was permitted to exercise mybwnyudgineBt very larjrely, and when a lady made a purchase amounting., to forty on fifty cwllaw^l wonld-throw in,a pair of gloves, an umbrella; or something of the kind to encourage, good feeling. towards the store. Now everything is systematized, and the authority to give away goods is vested with the proprietors only." ~“ln tRe nCw arrangement the floorwalker represents the politeness of the concern, doesn’t he?” “Well, yes, to a certain extent; but lot me remind yon that politeness can be overdone. It never pays to become obsequious. We must, just be polite enough, and just answer, enough, always maintaining our dignity and self-re-pect. Where people are timid and bashful it is better to be a little more polite and attentive than to those inclined to be self-reliant and self-assert-ing. The latter arc apt to receive such attention in a spirit of cynicism?’’ “How are floor-walkers paid—well?’’ “They draw from $2o to $5(1 per week, accord ins' to their especial fitness, those having the most extensive acquaintance among the women being the most favored.”—Chicago Tribune. Freckles, After the time I tried to photograph the baby, my camera was taken away fyom me and locked up for ever so long. Sue said-I wasn’t to be trusted with it and it would go off some day when yon think it ain’t loaded and hurt somebody worse than you hurt the baby you gdod-for-notkmg little nuisance. Father kept the camera locked for a month, and said when 1 see some real reformation in you James, you shall have it back again, But I shall never have it back again now, and if I did it wouldn’t be of any use, for I’m never to be allowed bo have any-more chemicals. Father is goin£ to give the camera to the passionaries, so that they.. can photograph heathen and things and all the chemicals 1 had hare been thrown away, just because 1 made a mistake in using them. I dou’t' say it didn’t serve me right, but L can’t help wishing that father would change his mind.

i ha«» -never said, much about my other siSter Lizzie, because she is nothing blit a girl. She is twelve years old, and of course she plays with dolls, and doesn’t kuow enough to play base ball or do anything really useful. She scarcely ever gets me into scrapes, and that’s where Sue might follow her example. Howcver. it was Lizzie got me into the scrape about niv chemicals, though she d.dn’t mean to, poor girl. One night Mr. Travers came to tea, and everybody was. talking about freckles. Mr. Travers said that; they were real fashionable, and that all the ladies were trying to get them. I am sure I don’t see why. I've mornamillion freckles, and i’d be glad to lot anybody have them who would agree to take them away. Sue said she thought freckles wore perfectly lovely, and it's a good thing she thinks so, for she has about as many as she earn use, and Lizzie said she’d give anything if she only had a few nice freckles on her cheeks Mother asked what made freckles,, and Mr. Travers said tho sun made them just as it makes photographs. “Jimmv will understand it,” said Mr. Travers. He knows how the sun makes a picture when it shines on a photograph plate, and all his freckles were made just in tho same way. Without the sun there wouldn’t b} any freckles.” This sonnded reasonable, but then Mr. Travers forgot all about chemicals. As I said, the last time I wrote, chemicals is something in a bottle like medic ne, and you nave to put it on a photograph plate so as to make the picture that the sun has made show itself1 blow if chemicals will do this with a photograph plate, it ought to do it with a girl’s cheek. Yon take a girl and let the sun shine on her cheek, and put chemicals on her, and it dttght to bring out splendid freckles. I m veryfond of Lizzie, though she is a girl, because she minds her own business, and don’t 'meddle with my things and get me into scrapes. I’d have'given her all my freckles if I could, as soon as 1 know she wanted them, and as soon as Mr. Travers said that freckles were made just like photographs, I made up my mind I would make some for her. So I told her she should have the best freokles in town if she’d come up to my room the next morning and let me* expose her to the sun and then put chemicals on her. Liz4zie has confidence in me, which is one of her best qualities, and shows that she is a good girl. She was so pleased when I promised to make freckles for her; ana as soon as the sun got up high enough to shine into mv window sne came up to my room all ready,to be freckled. I exposed her to the sun for six seconds. I only exposed my pho tograph Elates three seconds, bqt I thought that Izzic might not be quite as sensitive, and so tTMfposed bar longer. Then I look Iyer into the "dark closet where I kept ray chemicals, and poured chemicals on her cheeks I made her hold lifer handkerchief on her face so that the chemicals wouldn't get into her eyes and run down her neck, for she wanted freckles onilv on her cheeks. I watched her very carefully, but the the frccKles didn't come out. I put more chemicals on her, and nibbed it in witb a cloth but jt was no use, the freckles wouldn’t pome. 1 don’t know What the reason was. Perhaps I hadn’t exposed hhr long enough, or perhaps the chemicals were weak. Anyway, not a single freckle could I make. So- after awhile I gave it up, and tahfher it was no use, and she could g6 and wash her face. She cried a little because she Was disappointed, but she cried more afterwards. You see, tho chemicals made her cheeks almost black, and she didn’t wash it off. Mother and" Sue made a dreadful fuss about it, and sent for the doctor, who sa'd ho thought it would wear off in a year or so, and wouldn’t -kill ,the,child or da her very much harm. i This is the res son why they took my chemicals awa.y and promised to five my camera to the missionaries. .11 I meant Was to please Lizzie, and I never-knew tho chemicals would turn her black. But it isn’t the first time I have tried to be kind and have been made to suffer for it.--Jimmy Brown, in Harpers' Young Pcop 'e. —Every one by this time owns a pai of brass candlesticks, a spinning- whee arid an old clock ,orr tfee stairs, but th efoF^difash -craze for dld-ftfshloned furniture is n yet diininisheri--o]i! dear, no.

WAsmNOTOH, D.T., OctoberU Commodore Schley of the Greet/ re [let expedition hat submitted his report to the Secretary of the Navy. After giving In detail a description of the progress ol the expedition through the heavy Ice, he describes Lieu tenant Greely’s permanent coup as being located nearly midway between Crooktd Hat Island and Cape Sabine. lie says It was situated about seventy-live feet back (rouf the beach, on a slight elevation above the water and protected bjr high mountains to the southward. Commodore Sch'ey then described at length and substantially as heretofore pnb isbed, the impressive scene inside the tent on bln arrival. In cone uding his dispatch the Comtuo- j dure ssys: 1 hope never Again in my life to look uimm such wretchedness and such destitn.ion. The pieturevras moi-c startling and more deeply pathetic than 1 had ever dreamed oould be possible. In beholding it, I stood for a moment almost u.imnuncd, and then realized that if the expeditio l had demonstrated any one ih n-{ more than unoiher, it was that an hour had Its vr.lje to at east one of that party. Stouter hearts than mine felt full of son ro .v. Eyes that had not wept for years were in d-'teued with tears In the solemnity of that nrccioui hour in the lives of that heroic little band of sufferers, until this moment so hopeless and h.lpleiis. Continuing,, Commodore Schley says . The survivors were taken on board the ship. The surgeons and myself accompanied them. Lit utonaht Emory was left on shore to exhume the dead, and to bring off everything belonging to the expedit ion found in or about the campt I d d not roturn to the shore. The deni were buried on a ritfgabackof thecamp, distant fix ra it about forty yards. The bod e i of Private Henry and Schneider wero found on the ice fort west of the camp, distant Ally yar is. In exbumiug these bodies, one at a time, they were taken up and trapped in blankets. Tickets or tags of canvas were sewed to them marked ih the order of oxhu-. ing i hem, 1,2, i>, etc. Lieutenant Emory drew tEo plat of this burying ground,with the n u in bo -K of- the graves marked in order of this exhuming. This plat was .subsequently submitted to Sergeant Braiuard, who had superintended the burials. The names of the dead, corresponding to the numbers, were mttrked under them. Their ideutity was complete. The bodies were oarcfuHy Wrapped up and stowed in one of Iho dories on board tho Thetis, They were then eovered with ice and gner led until tanks could he prepared to bold aleoiiol. This was done three days alterward when six of the. bodlfes were transferred to the Boar. Alt tire bodies were then pin cd in alcohol ih the tank and so carried to St. John, N. F. The orders of Lieutenant Emory were carried out with suoh promptness and disputch that at 4 a. in., June £1, the bodies of all tho dead as well as till records, instruments, clothing and relics found in camp were on board the Thetis and Bear. Both ships tlicn steamed back to Payer Har bor, in order to give officers and men a few hours sleep and lest after their hard work for fifteen liuuis. Licuteuant Grcely and Sergeant Brninard being much improved by JOa. hi. ofJunciStd, informed me officially Jtho former referring me to his diary for vorilcation) that seventeen men of the Lady Franklin Buy expedition had perished by Slarvat'on and that one had been drowned while out sealing. The bodies of tho dead were recovered except that of Jeans Edward, Esquimaux, w ho was drowned while seeding, and those of Sergeant liicc. Corporal Saylor,, Private Bender, Sergeant Gardiner anil; Dr, Pavy. Thdse bodies having been buried in the fee fort, were swept away by winds and tides before my arrival. No trace of them could be discovered, although the vicinity was carefully searched. At If a. in.. June 2Sd, I sent Lieutenant Emory with the Bear back to the wrecked ctnnp.

This anarch lasted several hours, but added nothing to that made the previous day. AtSp. ni. the Boar returned to l’ayer Harbor. She barely os ‘aped the crush of ice against the laud in the vicinity of CapeSabluo. The tanks having been prepared by June 25tn, the bodies of the dean were transferred to them. Dr. Green, Chief engineer Melville and Ensign Harlow, of the Thetis, Dr. Ames, Lieutenant Crosby and Lieutenant Colwell, of the Bear, prepared the bodies in the following manner: From each body the clothing was removed. It was then wrapped in 8trl.es of cotton cloth from head to foot backward and forward several times. Cotton Bhccting was then used to cover the whole, cut to tit the form of the body. Wrapped in this wuy the body was placed in the tanks and secured nganiRt movement, from ramming ice, or when rolling in the passage" after leaving the ice. This arrangemt ut was temporary, and would not answer when making the passage beyond St. Johns. In preparing tho bodies of the dead for transi'oilationjin alcohol to St. Johns, it was found that six of thorn, Li utenant Klslingbury, Serpents Jewell and lialston. Privates ■Whistler, Henry and Kills, had been out and the fleshy part* removed to a greater or less extent. When the bodies of the dead were ex- ' posed in preparing them the identification was found 116 be complete. Some of them could be recognized by aid of a picture taken with ns fromdiome. ethers, w nose features had decayed, were identilled by oilier characletlitios I am, therefore, satisfied that no mistake wan made in I his important matter, wh o.i so impressed us from the beginning. He states, that the total expense of the expedition will aggregate about $750,000; but that a considerable portion of thi9 sum was for tbe purchase ol the ships, which were returned in good condition, lie highly commends Commander Coffin and other officials of the various ships, and says the selection oi the crews of the three vessels wati faultless. There were no punishments on board the ships until the return- to civilization, and the few cases then were caused entirely by rum The Commodore pays a high tribute to Secretaries Chandler and Lincoln for their efforts in securing Congressional action, and concludes as follows: 1 beg to thank you for your earnost, prompt and cordial support in preparing the expeditionary force lor its work, and above all for tie lasting honor conferred upon me, and tho officers and men composing it, in connecting our numes in our efforts with youirs in a relief which has filled the nation, and indeed the civilized world, with the gravest solioitude for a year past.

BROOKLYN’S BARBECUE. rhe City of Churches Welcoming < tiie Next President. A Tremendous Crowd at Ridgewood Park —Three Ur|« Oxen Boasted and Served to Democratic Voters with Oratorical Trimmings. October U was a gala day In Brooklyn. The whole city was tnfete. Flags were hying from every available point. Miles of handsome, brown-stone residences had tbelr fronts covered with every loncclvab o form of decorations. The marching and countermarching of large bodes of men, mounted and afoot, clad in brilliant and picturesque costumes, gave IKe, color and motion to the unusually quiet streets of the City of Churches. Business of all kinds was almost entirely suspended. Throngs of people filled the gailydecked thoroughfares, making locomotion difficult in all and well nigh impossible in many. Tbe exultant abouts from the throats of tens of thousands of the voters of Kings County — Democrats, indpendents and Republicans—united in one glorious paan of welcome to Grover Cleveland, the great reform Governor of the Empire State. From tbe time Governor Cleveland crossed the great bridge the enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds but those of decorum, it was a literal rca ization of the march of the conquering hero. It was the greatest ovation ever paid to a cltisen of this country. Not even General Grant, fresh from the victorious battie fields of the South, and in the /out; h of a phenomenal popularity, ever reoeived so spontaneous aud glorious a tribute from his countrymen. A peculiarity of this enthusiastic reception was that thousands of Republicans participat d In it. It was the triumph of honest convictions over dishonest and corrupt met ho Is. The recent scandalous disclosures of frauds to secure a majority in Ohio, combined with the gross and palpable misrepresentations of tbe result, have disgusted many honest Republicans in New York and Brooklyn, and ir-. retrievably lost to the Republican party many of its strongest adherents. These were found in tbe vast throngs which so enthusiastically welcomed, in Governor Cleveland, the embodiment of personal integrity and honest Government. ‘ ' THE PARADE. At precisely halt-past eleven' o'clock the parade started from Montatue street amid the cheers of a dense mass of peoplo there assembled. Tdo scene in the City Hall Square at this hour is not easily to be forgotten. From the City Hall, the city, State and National bags waved in the breeze, the nelgnnoring buildings were decorated with flags, while the Cleveland and Hendricks War Veteran clnbroom, at the corner of Myrt.e and Fulton avenues, was covered with bunting, in the streets and t he square were thousands of people, all cnoering loudly. The motto inscribed on the bannor of the Cleveland and Hendricks War Veteran club, the first in the procession following the carriages, was “We vote as wo fought for the Union. We are coining again 1IK,0U0 strong.” Passing down Court street the procession turned into Sehermorhnrn street, and here the enthusiasm was still more demonstrative. As the carriage containing the Governor appeared, gentlemen and ladies wearing .Cleveland and Hendricks budgis blocked the thoroughfare at every point. The decorations of the' houses were decidedly artistic. Pictures of Cleveland and Hendricks, entwined with wreaths of evergreens, were placed in the windows of the houses, and were iurther ornamented by the Bright faces of women and girls who vigorously waved their handkerchiefs as lie sat in his carriage. The Governor suitably acknowledged these enthusiastic manifestations on the part of the peonle of Brooklyn, and a happy smile sat upon his line face. The cheers that rent the air were, deafening. From irchermerhorn street the procession hurried into J.afayctte avenue, and here the same scenes wete repeated. The decorations hero wero of a more expensive t baracter than those lower down .town, heaving Lafayette avenue, the procession passed through Kossuth place to Bushwick avenue, thence through Pa motto street to Wyckotr avenue and to Ridgewood Park. As the parade passed along the streets many of tho occupants of the dwellings on tho route who neglected to buy tainting seized colored mats and swung them from the windows.

ai ruugcwumi pur* a mruu crowu naa assembled to meet the Governor. To describe the scene that ensued when Governor Cleveland reached the park is impossible. The people cheered until they wore hoarse, and hats were thrown recklessly into the air. The bands played as the Govornor was escorted to the principal stand. Here he was received' with an artillery salute as he mounted the platform with uncovered head and faced the thousands who had assembled to do him honor. An address of welcome was made by Augustus \ an Vtyck, as lollows: Sin: In behalf of the citizens of Kind's Coun* ty and the C ty of Brooklyn, ever noted for fiatriotic and intelligent independence in poitical action, I bid you a thousand welcomes here to-day. This demonstration is no mere tribute to a personal friend and fellow-parti-san. It is a simple and deserved recognition due the public servant who TWT proved himself the conscientious, courageous and truthful fr.end of free and good government, just ana liberal laws, and honest, clean and economical administration, of which your candidacy is intensely representative at this period, so unfortunately antagonized by tbe Uepublican party in its nomination, to the sorrow of all who love their country's welfare and honor. By your unwavering loyalty to all duties and trusts you. have gamed the universal contldence of all interests, and the conviction is irresistible that your nomination was. a most .felicitous culmination of a patriotic and unselfish movement fornn indispensable reform of old abuses, which will promote the happinoss, prosperity and welfare of the country. Ali the signs point with convincing certainty to a larger majority for you than has ever yet been given to a Presidential candidate in this country. Our people are determined and resolute. Millionsgathered from f ederal otticials and Government contractors can not debauch their franchise nor silence the voters that gave you Jig,UtW'majority in lStt.’.” The iollowing was Governor Cleveland's response: Among the many invitatioitt to visit different points, the most of which I have felt obliged to decline, came one trom my Brooklyn friends to moot them and their guests to day. This 1 could not decline, because I could not forgot the kindness 1 had rceeived at the hands of the people of this city, and the generous and hearty support they gave me when, a stranger to tl.em. 1 was a candidate for tho sut! rages of the people of our State, and, whetner 1 am justified in the sentiment or not, 1 feel toward the city of Brooklyn in a degree as one feels toward his home. (Applause.) In the midst of such intelligent thought and independent political sentiment as prevails here, it would be presumptuous it it were otherwise proper, for mo to refer in a spirit of partisanship to tho pending political campaign, (Applause and cheers.) The vast assemblage and the intense enthusiasm which pervades its every part fully evidence your belief that ihere is involved In this campaign something of great importance to your interest and welfare. When this feoiiug is generally aroused, aud when It loads to calm investigation and deliberate inquiry, there is no danger that the people will make a mistake in their determination of tho issue. (Applause.) Our institutions will be maintained in their integrity, and the benign influences of a popular government will mi the remotest corner of the laud, when all our citizens, from the highest to the humblest, shall feel that this is their Governmeni, that they are responsible for its proper administration, and that they oan not safely neglect it or follow blindly and thoughtlessly the lead of selfconstituted and selflsh lenders. (Applause.) I shall say no more except to express my apEreciation of the kindness,of tbe people of rooklyn, shown in ail they have done lor me in the past, and return my thunks to all here assembled lor their kind greeting, with the declaration that no man and no party can ask more than such an examination as you will gift) to their clai^ns to public confidence. (Cheers and applause.) Tbe following telegram from Samuel J. Tildon was then read: Gheystone, Yonkehs, N. Y„ Oct. 16.—It would give me great pleasure to moot iny fel-low-citizens of the County of Kings, to whom I am grateful lor the generous support which they gave me throughout my whole public life, but 1 regret that the delicate condition •f my health compels me to forego the gratification of being present on the interesting occasion to which you have invited me. Cordially sympathizing with tho object of your festivity, f remain your fellow-citizen. bantiEi, J. Tii.uev. Speeches were made by General George B. McClellan. P.

Three wooden lnclosures bad been erected, and within them, on g gantic spits, three oxen were stretched over glowing coals. The three oarcasscs weighed m the aggregate sixty-seven hundred pounds.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM TILDEN. Tho Grand Old Statesman, Samuel i. TtU den. Cordially Endorses Cl Ireland aad Hendricks. jj \ At the meeting of the bnsi less men ot New York on the evening of the 15th the following letter from Mr TUden was read: Grkystose, Oct IS, ISBt-Qmmjmnc l have lust received your letter on behalf of the New York Produce and Maritime Independent Merchants’ Cleveland and Hendricks Club, and representing also several other classes of business men, inviting me to be present at the business-men's mass-meeting, to be held at the Academy of Music on Wednesday, the 16th Inst., in support of the election ot Cleveland and Hendricks to the offices of President and Vice-President of the Dnited States. I regret that the delicate condition of my health oompels me lo forego tho Pleasure of joining with you on that interesting occasion. I remember gratefully when it was my duty as Governor to engage In a grapple with the Canal ring, which then swayed all tho administrative, legislative, and judicial departments of the Stal e, a majority of the local organizations of the Democratic party and of the organization of the Republican party at tho New York Produce Kjtohange, rallied to my support and stood by my side until that gigantic pow er was completely overthrown. I cordial I v concur in your opinion that the election ot Cleveland and Hendricks is demanded by the best interests of the country. I believe th at their election will be a substantial victory for the cause of good government: that it will assure us of a safe and prudent administration of the Chief Magistracy of the Republic in our relations with other countries: that it will restore simplicity and economy in the needs of the Federal Government so far as that result depends upon the Executive: far'it will give business men, immunity from the sudden changes of policy, and enable them to repose under the shelter of a stab'e administ rativo system, freefrom the favoritism to particular classes and interests, and from the 1 njurious fluctuations' to which suoh favoritism and sudden changes always load. Sam tin.. J. Tilden. CLEVELAND IN NEW YORK. fhtr Next President Appears at a Meeting of the Bnsiaess Men of New York, and Makes a Neat Speech. There was a grand meeting of the business men of New York on the evening of the 15th, which was addressed by Governor Cleveland as follows: Ladies anp Gentlemen: I thank yon foi this kind reception, and 1 am sure it is a cause for congratulation that so many of the business men of this great metropolis bax'o found reason, in tbe pending political strugPfor united and earnest effort. It. has n my firm belief that one reason why we, ns a people, do not enjoy to the utmost the advantages of our form of Government is found in the fact that our business men Are apt to neglect tbeir political duties. The idea is too common among them that there is a heroism and a virtue in refusing to hold offioo: and the stern denial of any interest in politics seems regarded by mauy ot this class as the best asseveration of their private virtue and business integrity. The protection and safety pf the interests they nave in charge are closely connected with a wise administration of the Government; and it has always seemed to me that if a regard for their duty as citizons did not impel them to take a more active interest in political affairs, the desire and need of self-preservation should. I believe, too, tbit the best administration of government is accomplished xvhon it is conducted on business principles. And it is quite apparent that tbe active participation of our business men in political campaigns is an effective mode of impressing these princip'es upon the management of public affairs. I construe this largo and enthusiastic meeting and tho determination on the part of business men from which it hud its rise, as the promise of a time when they shall lind the path of duty as well as interest in n practical and intelligent interference with political questions aud issues.

The Dutch Take Holland. The Dutch have taken Holland. Ohio as was anticipated has given a Republican plurality. While it is undoubtedly larger than sanguine Democrats outside of the State—and possibly in the State—were led to hope, it is lar smaller than the Republican leaders expected. Blaine's figure was 30, _ 000 and the average of his" organs was not far from 25,000. It is smaller, too, than the Republicans had a right to expect. They not only had the prestige of an unbroken series of victories in the October elections of Presidential years, but they made unpre edented efforts to keep that series unbroken. Advantage has been taken in every possible way of local and State issues. The “wool” issue has been worked to the fullest extent. The power of Republican employers has been exerted to the extreme limit to secure the votes of the employed for the party ticket. Money has been poured out as never before even in Presidential elections. The monopolists of the country and all the corporate interests which expect to be specially benefited by the election of a man like James G. Blaine [have been taxed to the- utmost on the plea that the influence of an October victory in Ohio must be secured or . the fight abandoned- The amount of the corruption fund raised was simply’ enormous. It is a small estimate that fixes the sum poured into Ohio by the Republicans during the past ten days at half a million. In addition to this there has been an army of hcderal office-holders detailed for the purpose and drawing their pay from the public Treasury laboring in the .State in the interests of the Republican party. The Presidential candidate has been paraded through the chief cities and towns to do the “spectacular” and help the cause. And to crown the whole it is clearly apparent I that gross frauds have been perpetrated whereby the Republican vote has been swelled far beyond honest proportions. The wonder is, when these things are considered, not that the Republicans have a plurality, but that the plurality is not far larger. There is little ground in the result for Democratic disappointment, though the work of th*e campaign would undoubtedly have been lightened had Ohio cut loose from her traditional Republicanism. There is no ground whatever for Democratic discouragement. Ohio has never been counted in the Cleveland column, and there is not a single State in that column where the result is at all imperiled by the result in Ohio. The Democratic cause is as just as ever; the candidate of the Republican party is still the same shifty, tricky jobber whose public record and his own letters proclaim him unfit for the high office for which he has procured the nomination. It would be an insult to American intelligence and American honesty to believe for a moment that any result in any State election can reconcile the people to such a man as their Chief Magistrate. Certainly the result in Ohio can not.—Detroit Free Press. —Diners-out are jealous of one another.* Mr. Hayward was frequently scandalously attacked, and figures as Venom Tuft in Mr. Samuel Warren’s "Ten Thousand a Year.” Now, Mr. Warren was himself not exempt from the charge of liking great people. There is a bar story told of him that once, when sitting in court by the side of a brother barrister, he said to him: “I must go now, Davison, as 1 am going to dine with Lord Lyndhurst, ” “do am I,” said Davison. Warren looked disconcerted, but went out of court, and quickly came in again and said to Davison: “When I said I was going to dine with Lyndhurst I was joking. “Well,” said Davison, “so was I.” —Yesterday, an old horse being driven along High street, before n wagon loaded with dirt, fell down, and, instead of being at all concerned about it, the negro driver got a rest for the small 6t his back and filled his pipe for a Smoke.

Cincinnati Times. —It is stated in French agricultural journals that French cheesemakers are not satisfied unless they get from $150 to $200 per annum from each cow. This is owing to their expertness and thoroughness in the manufacture of cheese, and each particular agricultural district of France has attained a celebrity for the making of some particular variety of cheese, developing into a special and important industiy. Concerning Mutton.

It is a fact, and it is time we liat!| fully realized it, that our mutton gets, worse instead of bettor. We think there is no question at all about this being a fact. It is next to impossible to get even moderately decent mutton in our markets. It is tough, strong or tasteless, and p&ple are “beginning to refuse to buy mritton. They are giving the ordters that a friend of our recently gave in our hearing. He said at his table, at which we were a guest, that the mutton of the markets was so wretchedly poor that it distressed him to see “mutton-day” come to his house, and addressing his wife, he said:'“Please buy no more mutton.” That any man in America should feel the necessity of saying this, is a disgrace to our sheep husbandry. We can produce just as good mutton in this country as can be produced in the world. We have the intelligence to do it, we have the sheep to doit, and we have, or ought to have, the food tojdo it Yet we do not do it Cross the Canadian line, and you may get mutton of the very best* quality. 'Their necessities have made them good mutton producers. But, as we have repeatedly said, we have run to wool, and yet the care necessary to produce good mutton Would materially aid in producing wool, for it would be in the direction of making our sheep healthier. Where we particularly fail is in winter care. “We, do not provide such fowl as sheep or/ any of our animals should have. There are many flocks of> sheep that go through the entire winter without anything but dry food. We sometimes have the question asked, swill ensilage be good for sheep? We answer the question according to our best judgmeub We desire to say now that no one should let any argument or supposition stand in his way of providing ensilage for his sheep, if he iB “struck” after ensilage and will provide no other similar food. It is not for ns to say that ‘there is anything better, or as good. We have never pretended to do more in th’s respect than to give our opinion entirely unsupported by experience. We have, however, given the experience of1 others, and the reader can formt his own opinion from such testimony. But we do recognize the necessity ot producing better " mutton. Unless wq do this the flockmaster is injuring hiq prospects every day and every hour. And we nover can do it unless we give better winter care to our flocks, and that better care will include a due proportion of some kind of green food in the diet. In a country where we can grow roots as easily as we can grow them in this country we should at least have plenty of them to feed. The districts that are particularly celebrated for the production of finer mutton are districts in which there is the best of f;reen food all through the Winter, n those sections where we can not pasture through the Winter we must supply the lack by providing something of the same character. Roots are cheap. They can be grown with little trouble. They produce abundantly, and they aro harvested without difficult)’. The market demands that.we should pay more attention to this matter. We have been accustomed to refer to the difficulties with which our sheep interests have had to contend, and which were embodied in the wretchedly poor quality of mutton in the years gone by, and wo have congratulated ourselves that we were rapidly overcoming these difficulties by producing better mutton. This has been true, too. The markets for mutton have been improving. The people were being taugbt that meat from the sheep was as good as any meat. But now the consumer is- again losing confidence, and the market is in danger of suffering great injury. It is a very easy matter to lessen the consumption of an article. But it is a difficult matter to restore an Injured market to vigor. When people, have refused to buy something, became of its inferiority, it is no easy thing to indues them to touch it again. - It is to our interests as sheep-raisers to think of these things, and begin the desired improvement among our own docks. If every man will begin reform at once, and with himself, ho will soon see marvelous changes in every direction In whioh reform is needed. Men somehow are loath to do this. They want te see somebody else reform, or they wish to be joined ia the work of reformation. This latter wish is commendable enough, but tho most practical way to inaugurate reform of any kind, is to begin at once to put our own affairs in the line of reform. And in regard to this matter, lot every flockmaster say: others may do as they !wish, but as for me, I am determined to take advantage of the opportunities offered in this natural sheep country to produce the best mutton in the world. (Unlike many reforms, this one will pay jthe one who inaugurates It once, and pay well, - Western liuraL
