After lunch at the Victoria the president and Colonel Lament entered a carriage and were driven to Dr. Bryant's house. There a consultation was held. ' Dr. Bryant was of the opinion that the president's trip to Washington had the effect of staying the progress back to health he was making at the seashore. The president complained that his weight bad not been reduced materially and be suffered from superfluous avordu polo. Dr. Bryant packed up a port manteau and entered a carriage with the president Colonel Lamont advised that to all inquiries respecting the president's health the assurance should be given that he never felt better in his life. This program was carried out to the letter. ' At 8:30 o'clock they started for the boat where Dr. Bryant alighted, fol lowed by the president His step was not as elastic as when he came from Buzzard's Bay last week. He walked alowly and his eyes looked heavy. Dr. Bryant said: "Mr. Cleveland ia In splendid health; feels first-class; tip top." ? i "Is It not strange, doctor, that the president should leave the seat of government while congress is engaged with legislation of a vital and im portant character?" Dr. Bryant said he was not prepared to criticise the president "Perhaps a domestic event requires his presence?" was suggested. "It would be unprofessional on my part to speak of that matter."

With his opening sentences he attracted the close attention of the hou and retained it to the end So other man had succeeded in impress. ng bim self upon the favorable ton. deration of hi associates on tua sour at sucu an earlv Deriod of hie membership. lie was sorry, he said to note by the tone and wordaof the gentleman from Maryland, Mr. Uaynor. who opened the discussion, that he was influenced by the columns of the metropolitan Dress and - was d-ipoted to treat representatives of the Western dis tricts, and particularly of those states where silver Is mined, as foreigners and aliens. lie did not exactly com prehend th reison why that gentle man should sbeak of the treasury de partment as acting' the part of a pawn-brouer lor me surer miners oi Colorado and Nevada. It might be that the gentleman knew more of the rawn-broking business than he (Mr. Pence) did, or it might be on account of the practice of the treasury depart ment to Jew down the men who brought silver there to sell, because it was now beyond question that such was the policy of the department It was bet-ante the people of Colo rado had come to understand that the platforms of the two great political parties were but glittering catch-words that they had within the last tweive months asserted their political inde pendence. It was not (as the New York Sun said), because Mr. Keed of Maine was a czar that tb Democratic party had come into power. It was because it had declared unequivo cally for the remonetlzation of ailver. The scene in the house yesterdav was enough to attract the attention of any thoughtful observer. Was It possible that the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Kaynor), uttering the oentmenta He did, and the gentle man from Missouri (Mr. Bland), utter ing the sentiments he did, were elected last fall on the same identical platform? Laughter on all sides. In this connection he quoted from a speech made by Mr Carlisle in the house In 1878. to the effect that the striking down of from three-sevenths to one half of the metallic money of the country was the most gigantic crime of this or any other generation, and he contrasted that declaration with the present position of the secretary on the ailver question. The- speech was made, he raid, when that gentle man was a leader, not a follower, when he was a sender of messages, not a bearer of (hem. Laughter. Mr. Wheeler of Alabama closed the discussion for the day with a plea for a larger volume of currency and the bouse adjourned. THE FIRST REAL BEAU. In tha Callow Days of Youth He Meats tha Maiden's Malting Eye. The first beau appears along about when we are 14 or 10. There have been, of course, many little boy ad mirers, but according to a writer the genuine gallant does not materialize until we put on long dresses and com mence making ourselves up for young ladies, a comprehensive phrase that all girls will understand. He is usually the brother of some special chum of ours, and in this way we are enabled to see him more often than if we had no reason for going to his house. ne Is exceedingly bashful before people, but can talk, a blue streak when we are alone, ne squanders bis allowances on Ice cream, soda and caramels, and on rare occasions in vites ua to a church sociable or con cert lie la always one of the group of youths who wait outside the church or Sunday school door, and he Is the one always to escort us to our homes on such occasions. We are teased unmercifully about him and really enjoy it, though pre tending to be fearfully indignant and provoked about it This sort of thing goes on until something happans, as some things have a way of doing, and either he goes away to college or we leave for boarding school, or perhaps a quarrel or change of residence occurs. At any rate, years perhaps will roll away before we see a bearded man who can bear the slightest resem blance to ft young, rosy-cheeked boy. AWAY WITH THE TAG.

Taglioni had left the opera and Fannie Elssler reigned supreme; the triumphant suc cess, however, obtained by her in th "Diablo Boitenx, financially ad van tageout as it proved to the manage ment, was by no means relished by her lady colleagues, who, finding themselves during the long run of the ballet completely shelved, unscrupu lously profited by any .mode of annoy ing and embarrassing their obnoxious rival. One evening Burat de Gurgy, author of the libretto, knocked at the door of th charming dancer's dreai- ing-room and found her in a great state of excitement "My dear M. Burat" she exclaimed. "I am in ft terrible rage. I have scarcely time to dress, and some one has stolen my chalk." "Your chalk!" began Barat "Not ft doubt of it I have asked everybody for some, and they all say they have none. It is a conspiracy. you aee, to hinder me from dancing. So now, M.

An alarm clock, according to the habit of the beast, always goes off at the wrong time and in a thin-walled building it always succeeds iu waking the whole house a well aa its owner. The wear and tear npon the temper of the community is consequently greater than that caused by the combined efforts of ft forgetful janitor and an intermittent elevator. A young man in an uptown house in Washington who has been in the habit of over sleeping himself, ; recently purchased an alarm clock of Imposing propor tions, ana a Dew nue a lire engine gong., As usual the thing went off about 3 a. m., and the owner, who hod just fallen into a sound sleep, leaped wildly from his couch .under the impression that the house was on fire or some other dire calamity had befallen. Occupants of adjoining rooms followed suit and the" objurga tions heaped upon that unhappy alarm clock were both loud and long. A policeman on the beat blew his whistle nnder the impression that a riot was in progress, and the whole neighbor hood was aroused. Meanwhile the owner of the clock tried to stifle it in the bed clothes, but still it hammered away vehemently and made more racket than ever. Finally, in despair, he plunged the riotous timepiece into a jar full of water, where, at the ex pense of ruining its inner mechanism, iu voice was stilled. The young man now hires a newsboy to wake him. Allv and Dead. A lady had almost decided to buy the coat she was trying on. The weary sales-woman breathed a sigh of relief. The customer had been hard to suit Even yet she fingered the buttons and twitched the sleeves thoughtfully. 'What was this fur when it was alive?" she asked abrupt ly, as she adjusted the collar. Tha sales-woman hesitated and stammered. She was torn between a business-like desire to make a sale and a conscien tious regard for thi truth. Her con fusion was painful. "Well, ma'am' we have to call It martin," she said at last "but it was skunk when it was alive. How We Watta Our Subatanoa.
