"If Mr. Cleveland states the facts cor

in a terrible .stale of degradation , but the
people themselves are lost to a t-ense of

President Cleveland probably wrote in a
moment of vexation and weariness , and

Sellers In Omaha.
Some of the scholars in one of the pub-
lie schools indulged in a "Col. Seller- '
trick" ye-tenlny at the expense of their
teacher. The aid teacher is near .sighted
and wears gla c , and the pupil- , taking
advantage of that fact , placed a lighted
candle in the sto\e , in which the lire had
gone out. The teacher came in Irom the
ont-ide cold , walked up tortile alleged
lire , and wilh a great show of satisfac
tion , proceeded to warm himself. "This
warmth is "ratcfnl. " he remarked , and
the laugh which followed led loan inves
tigation , the result of which waa grim
and haughty teacher for the balance of
the day.
Dleil or Ills Injuries.
AY. II. Hennelt , the engineer at liosen-
berry's planing mill , who was scalded by

his body. He died away from home , it
being iinpoiblu to remove him from the

A Slim Altemlaiiec.
The winter term of the public schools
opened ye-lerday , but with a .slim attend
ance on account of the snow-blockaded
streets. Only about 5 per cent of the
scholars were present , and at some otthe
schools only one pupil put in an appear
ance. The .superintendent and board of
education therefore agreed not to con
sider the day a " , * cliool day , " tint" .saving
the absentees a discredit mark for non-
attendance.

New Haven Palladium 1 luring the

improvement in the promptne-s with
which tlie employes in the wood working

their work in Jhc morning and after din

should n k one of the olllcer * of the com
pany for the reason , he might merely be
told , "lime clock. " If hehould be of tin
innni-ilivo nature , nnd make further In
quiries , hi- would undoubtedly be siiown
the combination of wood nnd metal
which is answerable for the decreased
dilatorine-s of employes.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
Walloi'son's Impressions- the Chief
11\ ecu live \Vondi-ous AVoi-k-
er and Man.
There is more in Ihe president writes
Henry Watlcr-un in his Courier .loiirnni ,
than his friends are wont to allow and hu
gains rather than loose on acquaintances.
His enemies fancy the me saying a very
severe tiling when they sncoringly as ert
that be regards liiniscl as a man 'of do.s-
tinv , who thinks ho has discovered thu
philosopher's stone. Yel w by should he
liqt ? His lifi. rmxU liLw u Iwiok mil Of
Iqiry lulus. "I wake up SOUK times in the
night , " lie said the other day , "and , see
ing where I am , imagine il is ail a
dream. "
Ho has a deal of crafl of ( lie wiser and
belter sorl , and needs only a little more
training to foot it with ( lie shrowdo * ! of
the politicians whom ho affects to despise.
He. is a good listener and a good talker.
His most obvious characteristics are
stiaightforwardncs-s and simplicity , both
in speech and bearing. Ho seems lo be
exceedingly Irank lint to a closer ob
server those appear to be outer aspects
merely. He is not a man of continence
or effusions ; is uncommonly .self-possessed
anil self-contained , and omits a tough ,
dry humor , ready , relevant and illustrat
ive.
ive.His
His disposition is entirely kindly and
courteous , Tlie man , though ot a largo
ami rough exterior , with none of the
graces ot Pierce and Arthur , has tin easy
dignity , which suflieos lo Iill the chair ho
sits in. Ho is at heart a gentleman. I
like him best vvjicn I meet him face to
face He possesses a faculty of curing
doubts and allaying fears. No one can
quit him , 'however the disagreement ,
without a looting of belief in the recti
tude ot Ids intentions. He may bo in er
ror and over-confident ; but ho is conscientious
entious- , and disinterested and is trying to
do his duty.
lie is si wondrous worker. He has the
poor man's love of work and trust in
work. He wants to earn his day's wages ,
and there are some tilings which a presi
dent must do and ought lo do which go
against his grain , becaus-o they scum to
be frivolous , belonging to play rather
than work.

Mow lie ZVIndc the Fortune ol'a Young ;
Physician.
New York Time'A ' : young phician
ol this city who had been ilrnggling along
in rather an uneasy fashion was suddenly
elated one day a year or so ago by a call
from William 11. vanderbilt. Tbu young
doctor had been a elo e 'indent , and bud
won laurels at one ot I he cily hospitals
for his surgical work , and in the eonrsool
conversation at the ( irand ( .Ynlral depot
Mr. Vamleibilt had heard the ioimg
man's praises , and acting upon a Midden
impulse , as was not nniiMuil with him ,
lie went directly from his oilicu down to
the dnctur'b ollice. He had been snllormg
for sonic time from a trouble that many
l > hysieians of biirb rotito ) ) had Iroateil
illl-atisf.icloril.y now. for the whim's
sake , he put himself nndei I he young
doctor's care. lie was cured n'mekly
and became an enthusiastic ad
vocate of the young doelor'.s
skill. Many ot his triends wens
sent to the same ollice , and to-day : i big
practice/ , including patient * , known in the
most Insldonahle circles of New Vork ,
enriches Hie lucky ph\sician whoio jiros-
pects had been wolnlly gloomy until the
whim of the magnate rescued him from
obscurity , lint this iMi't the jioint of the
< tory. After it became known that he
had treated Mr. Vanderbilt , friends
ciowdcd around to explain how he
might grow rich. Mr. Vander-
bitt was grateful lor the cure
that had been an'eclod , and all Dr. X.
would have to do , so the nefpiaintanoes
whispered , was to ask the railroad ruler
for a "point" on the clock market , and
then through llio n-e of that scoop in u
s-marl little lortnne. It was certainly n
temptation , lor Mr. Vanderbilt had not
been backward in his expressions of
giatilnde. lint bofoio be acted on
any of tbe-e suggestionhu saw
Mr .J. Khinelander llillon , his personal
friend as. well as a patient , and
asked his advice. "Send in your regular

CHRISTINA'S JJAFID TASK.
The Pine ( futilities of Spain' * Queen
llcut-nt which May IJnalilo Her to
IMill Through.
Seldom , if ever , in the history of na
tions , sa.vs the Madrid correspondent of
the London Times , has il fallen to Ihe lol
of a woman lo have to occupy , it may
almost be said without a moment's warn
ing , the dillienlt and delicate , il not dan
gerous position - although nidging by the
fjood .sense shown so tar by llic people
the daiigir vvould appear to be less than
could have been anticipated- filled
by ( Jticen Christina , regent of Spain for
an infant daughter , or a pos
sible intanl son yet unborn. * * *
Maria Christina , endowed with all the
qualities which should make her husband
happy , endeavored , from llio lir.sf to con
sole Alfonso for thu losses he bad siis-
lainod in hi- , most cherished nlVoctions
by the deaths of his tir.st wile and ol his
favorite sister. Knowing how the king
treasured the memory of Maria do las
Mercedes , sbo suggested that this bhoilld
be Hie innno given to her own lirsl
child , the princess of the Asturias.
Since her arrival in Spam ( jiicon
Christina has kept herself onlirely
alool from party polities and from court
intrigues , confining her. elf to the duties
of her household and the anxious care of
her children. As things have turned mil
il would pel haps have been betlur if Iho
self-elVaeement ol { lie queen in the wife
had not been carried out sO coniph tely
and .so disinterestedly , lint , on the other
band , there is llio advantage , for her
children and for the slate , Unit the regent
is compromised with no party , has no
eamarille , and has no private inter-
f-tt to * i-\i | ; that llliuhl < lll"ll illl
tliost ; of the nation which Mir has been
called upon to govern. " * * From
her all ministries lornied oonslilnlioniilly
im\y safely expect the most perfect im
partiality. Maria Clu'Mina possesses
both oncrit ) and lirmness ol dial actor ,
and she has shown these qualities , with
great self-sacrifice , during llio last fort
night. The new ministers , individually
and collectively , give her the highosl
praise and even express surprise al Ihu
prudence and tact which she has dis
played. She. bus been accused of n cer
tain coldness of manner , but I have the
best rea = ons lor knowing and slating Ibat
this i.s the mask , not an uncom
mon one , for excessive timidity nnd mod
esty. Not the slightest breath ot landcr ,
in a court somuwlivit given lo ( his fault ,

Ill's ! lady In Hie. laud , and wilh Ihu queen
regent Spain will doublless have a
court which , lor morality , will bear com
parison vvi'.h that of any oilier country.
Christina , by those opposed to her , or
rather opposed to the constitutional
monarchy , is repio.iche.il not only
with coolness ol manner , but
with being an Austrian , ami
with , then-lore , knowing hut little ol
Spaniards. The n who aigiic upon those
promises may Mud that they aie entirely
