Her parents wore on route from the west to Maine , via Washington , whore they passed a few days. In their party were a clergyman and his wife , who particu larly desired to sec the president. The little girl made up the third of the party , and with the clergyman nnd lady called at the white house. The presi dent shook hands , mid as he took the mtiidon's palm in his she spoKe up ant said in a resolute treble : "I am glad to see you , sir. I am a little democrat. " The president smiled and shook her hand again , while the good clergyman and his wife stood aghast. "I inn glad to know it. my dear , " said the president. "I am glad to know it. I am pleased to have so valuable nn adherent ; " and he was about to turn to the next in the throng of people passing on when the little girl spoke up again in her clear voice and added : "But , sir , I am a great big republican. " President Cleveland is said to have turned , looked at the little ono quizzically ' ally , laughed' , and to have boon for a moment or two tit a loss for a word to say. Then ho said good-bye to the little girl from Maine , and they passed on , while those who heard him and saw the incident wore highly amused. Of course the Lewiston little girl's parents were astounded and are wondering what could have suggested such nn encounter othe'r ' little daughter.

The board of county commissioners held a meeting yesterday and disposed of consider able business. The American water works conipany , hav ing learned that ex-Marshal Freeland , ol Florence , who was iccentlv deposed by Mayor Hall , baa petitioned the commission ers for the ofllco of justice of the peace in that place , addressed n communication to the board , remonstrating against the appoint ment. The mutter was referred to the Judi ciary committee. In answer to a number of questions thai had been submitted by the commissioners to the county attorney , relative to the sheriff's duties and responsibilities , the county attor ney gave carefully prepared replies. It re gard to the sheriff's much-mooted mileage charges ho says : It is my opinion that the sheriff had the right to charge the county $3 per day , and mileage at the rate of ten cents per tnilo each way for convoying the insane to the hospital. " Ho also reports that the only actual expenses of the sheriff's assist ants can bo charged to the county , and that ho is not entitled to the same mileage foi them as ho is for himself. Auditor 1'oints , in the report of his exam ination of the sheriff's bill for boarding pris oners from Juno 1 , I8SS , to June 80 , lb8S , re marks incidentally that the jail records have not been so neatly nor so accurately kept during the last six months as during the pre ceding term of two years. Ho attributes the discrepancies that have crept into the sher iff's bills during the last six months to the inefllciency and carelessness of prisoners who do the work of keeping the records and mak ing up accounts. Ho recommends the ap pointment of a competent purson at the coun ty's expense , who shall bo responsible for the neatness , uniformity and accuracy of the work. The committee on finances reported the amount duo from the county to the sheriff to be $708.80 ; amount duo from the sheriff to the county , $777.93. The committee recom mends that the sheriff bo requested to pay over this amount , and in default of doing which , no warrant shall bo drawn In his fa vor , but that the $708.80 bo withheld as a par tial offset against the claim of the county , until the $777.03 bo paid in by the sheriff. The recommendations were adopted. The following bids were accepted : Grad ing road between sections 23 and 27 , in town ship 15 , range 12 , to Vaughan ft McCann , for loKc per cubic yard. For 50,000 sewer brick , delivered at Florence , to Hailey & Olson , foi $11.50 per ono thousand. The bids on lumber are referred to the committed on bridges.

The faculty of Crolghton college will bo unusually strong this year and fully able to deal with the increasing demands made upon it for higher education. A Cock FiKhtiiiK n Ijooklng-GInss. Popular Science Monthly : An amus ing test of the difference in disposition in barnyard fowls may bo made by plac ing a piece of looking-glass against the trunk of n largo tree , and laying a train of corn in front of it. Some hens will discover what they all take for a now arrival with mild curiosity and merely look at it intently , perhaps peering around behind the tree , and then walk quietly away. Others pock the glass angrily and insist upon lighting , while a few nervous fomtilos show much the same noisy excitement that sor/.cs upon most hens when they spy a snake. Wo tried the valiant old autocrat of the farm-yard with this trick , and ho was at once roused to fury. Dropping his head when some ton feet in fron of the glass , ho began the cautious ad vtinco by parallels , which every one familiar with poultry had scon before a 1 fight. But of course ho soon lost his enemy by moving too far to ono side. After crowing fiercely and looking around uneasily for a few moments , ho returned to the train of corn , and al most instantly saw the strange cock nearer than before. More stealthy approach preach , another failure to keep sight of the foe and greater excitement , mid u third time he began to oat , only to bo startled by the hostile presence nearer than over. At last ho worked right up to the glass and braced himself for the shock of combat , the counterfoil , of course , following his every movement with ominous celerity. There was ono fierce peck at the angry head in the glass , and then a crush , as our infuriated champion hurled him self against his likeness , breaking the glass into a hundred fragments. The mingling of astonishment , rage , and triumph in this bird's npnoaranco , as ho whirled about , startled at the cracking noise , and bewildered by the total disappearance of his enemy , was comical to behold. Then ho rushed around behind the big pear-tree , evi dently thinking that the cowardly stranger might bo hidden there. Not finding him. the victor strutted about , too excited to cat , and crowed long and loud over his unprecedented triumph. The other cock was entirely wiped out of existence , nnd our old fighter , who would crow defiantly in our arms when ever ho found himself being carried oil the premises , knowing from cxporionco that a sot-to was coming , could ucarcely credit bia scusca. f , f , , t- , . 1 ' ' . llAYDEX MHOS. * G'ren't' Moving Halo.

Brooklyn Eagle : There .is a certain rich man of New York , currently re ported to bo out of health , who is spend ing his summer in cheerful mortuary pursuits. The architects who design his houses and yachts for him arc just now hard at work on the drawings for a tomb that is to bo at once the biggest , most ornate and most thorougly burglar proof last resting place in this country. It will roach some hundred or more feet in the air , coyer nearly half an acre of ground , require something like three years to complete the rich and beautiful sculptures with which it will bo adorned , and the vault to contain the ashes of the dead plutocrat is a marvel of mechani cal ingenuity. In the first place the p nderous slabs of granite forming the four sides of the receptacle for thecollin are nearly thrco feet in thickness. The upper one moves on springs as smoothly as a door , but only when certain intri cate combinations have been carried out upon the lock , and tiny fumbling with the fastenings by a hand that does not know the proper springs to bo pressed and pulled awakens certain en gines of destruction which will make it decidedly uncomfortable for the fum- bler. But the hardy body-snatcher would have first to penetrate through many obstacles and difficulties before ho reached the place where ho could satis factorily blow himself into smithereens. There is room inside of this well-pro tected tomb for two colllns , those of the millionaire and his wife , and the collins themselves'tiro also being manufactured by a Boston firm , and will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 apiece. They tire made of solid mahogany seven inches thick , carved in bold relief with the most elaborate designs , all vari ously emblematic of death , and espec ially drawn for the carvers by Eliliu Veudor , whoso stern , heavily draped "Angel Of the Darker Drink'1 ' was ex hibited hero last winter , its sculptur esque beauty making a deep impression on the man who is ordering all this mortuary splendor. On the top of the collin is carved a splendid hatchment , and a broad silver scroll , exquisitely etohcd with the names and dates of the births of the two projected occupants , occupies a place on the lid directly over the face of ono who should bo within. Every available inch of the interior is bcnutitied with the cutting tools and within is hung a silken hammock made of heavy twisted black silk and with thick silver fringes depending from the sides. To the interior of the lid is fastened an ivory crucifix , copied from ono in the museum in Venice , supposed to have boon carved in the fourteenth century. In certain stages of the dis ease the sufferer scorns to find a sort of gloomy satisfaction in preparing for death and dwelling upon the trappings of the tomb , but that is genenaliy while ho still fools a pretty sure hope of get ting bettor , and it is not as dangerous a sign as might be imagined. The Intelligent Horse. ATrs. Custer's Book : My husband's horse had almost human ways of talking with him , ns ho leaned far out of the suddlo and his face on the gallant ani mal's bend , and there was a gleam in the eye , a proud little toss of the head , speaking back a whole world of atToc- tion. The general could ride hanging quite out of sight from the opposite side , one foot caught in the stirrup , his bund on the mane , and it made no dilTorenco to his beloved friend ; ho took any mode that his master chose to cling to him as a mat tor of course , and curveted and pranced in the loftiest , proudest way. His manner as plainly stud us speech : "See what wo two can dol" I rarely know him have a horse that did not soon become so pervaded with his spirit that they appeared to bo absolutely ono in feeling. I was obliged usually to submit to some bantering slur on my splendid Custis Leo. Per haps a dash at first would carry the general and the dogs somewhat in ad vance. My eido had a trick of aching if wo started off on a gallop , and I was obliged to keep a tight rnin on Custis Leo at first , as ho champed at the bit , tossed his impatient head and showed every sign of ignominious shame. The general , as usual , called out , "Como on , old lady ! Chug up that old plug of yours ; I've got ono orderly ; don't want another , " this riding at a consid erable distance in the rear. After a spur of tremendous speed back How the master tome mo to excuse him ; ho was ready now to ride slowly till "that side of mine came round to tune , " which it quickly did , and I revenged the insult on my swift Lee , and the malignor at last called out , "That's not so bad a nag after all. " The horses bounded off the springy turf as If they really hated the necessity of touching the sod at all. They were very well matched in speed , and as on wo 'How wo were nock by neck , side by side , never changing our places. Breathless at last , horses , dogs , and ourselves made a halt. The orderly with his slow troop horse was a specie in the distance. Of course , I had gone to pieces little by little between the mad speed anil rushing through the wind. Not What Ho Wanted. "Do you know of anybody who has a good dog for saloV" asked ono traveling man of another. "Yes , I've got ono myself. Fine ani mal. I think ho would just suit you. " "What kind of a dog is it ? " "A setter. " "A sutterV" "Yes , Shall I bring him around to show him to youV" "No , thanks. I've got tv whole back yard lull of hcus , I want a dog , " ! . ' . ' " " _ ' _ " ; - ' ' N. H.

I am sorry to dl-oblige you But it is an imperative order that no one shall enter the vaults. You would not bo permitted to go around alone , nnd we can spare no one to act as an es cort. " This was the firm but polite reply of the cashier of the United States "sub- treasury to a lady from the country who had applied for permission to inspect the gold and silver in the vaults. She had , in company with a gentleman , asked Captain Thomas Sampson , the special detective in charge of the Pine street door , for the same privilege. Ho had , while giving the two strangers no encouragement , referred them to the cashier. A look of disappointment passed over the lady's face us the an swer was received. "You would bo surprised , " said the cashier to a reporter , as the two turned away and passed out of the building by the Wall street door , "how many per sons ask to bo allowed the privilege of rambling through tne vaults. They are invariably strangers in the city. Wo have to re'fusp them , as it would in terfere with busincs.besides which the tour would only result in disappoint ment , as they would really be able to sec nothing. " "But have you not'hundreds of mil lions of dollars in coin in this building ? Surely that would bo worth seeing. ' ' It is true , wo have large amounts of money here , but strangers would not bo able to see it , even if accorded the privilege of going around wherever they pleased. They might hear the jingle of the gold and silver in the coin division on the right and left hand of the Pine street entrance , as the specie is being weighed out and handled at the rate of $1,000,000 a day ; but this can be done without ti permit. They would not , however , bo able , in consequence of the screens , to see a single piece of gold , silver , nickel or copper , unless transact ing business therein , on certain days , when the government is paying off 'its employes in this city , pensioners draw ing their pensions , or bondholders are collecting their interest , they might sec ti long line of persons waiting to reach the uaying teller's window. They would see little money except in the hands of the persons receiving it , al though hundreds of thousands of dollars lars might bo paid out. The cashier's win dow possesses little inteiest to strang ers , as there is no money to bo seen there. The receiving teller's branch on the opposite of the rotunda is not at tractive to sight-seekers , for although from $ -500,000 to $1,000,000 are handled daily in United States notes , the screen hides the valuable pieces of paper from the view of outsiders.1' "But you have largo quantities of United States notcs _ of different denom inations in this building ? " "Yes , but they are packed away in safes. If the doors were opened a stranger would see the ends of 11 few bundles of paper. This would certainly disappoint asight-seeltor , notwithstand ing the fact that over $1-3,000,000 may thus bo stored away. Now , there is th'o bond clerk's bureau , in the Wall street corner , opposite the assistant treas urer's room. A stranger could see very little there , although transactions in millions might be going on. And in the assistant treasurer's there is no display of wealth , despite the fact that ho has under his care about $200,000,000 of treasure in ono shape or another. But no permit is necessary to see all I have alluded to , except the safe where the notes tire kept. " "But what about the gold ? " "That is Kept in two safes , built into the masonry. Even if these doors were opened a stranger would only see a couple of whitened rooms with'a lot of iron boxes. The gold is .enclosed in bags , tied and sealed , and locked up in the boxes , which are also scaled. Wo could toll them without opening the safe doors that in each safe are about $58,000,000 in gold coin , for they could see no evidence of the coin , even if they wont into the vault , beyond the presence of the iron boxes. Certainly there could bo little satisfaction in that to a sight-seeker , besides taking up the time of the government employes. " "But the silver coin is too bulky to bo packed away in boxes. That would bo a sight worth seeing. " "Not half as much as the one that can bo seen every day by any passing stranger when silver coin is being sent away in bags from the Pine street en trance. When a number of bugs con taining $1,000 each will be wheeled along on a hand truck to the entrance , thence lifted to some vehicle and carted away. The silver coin is deposited in a vault 58 sect long by 20 feet broad and 12 feet high. It is put up in bags , which are piled one upon another like grain in a barn. So far as an outside observer is concerned the bigs might contain outs or corn for any opportunity ho could tell the difference. They are kept out of reach by imissivo iron bars. A stranger might bo informed that there are in the bugs $31,000,000 in silver dollars lars and $10,000,000 or more in subsi diary silver coin. B t ho could bo lo 1 this just as well upstairs. The Visits to the vaults' would not give tlu'y ono ocular lar or STJiiHlblo continuation of the state ment , as ho could neither see nor toucii the coin. So it would only bo a wastu of the visitor's ttmo as well ns that ol the government olllcluls. " THE BEST MADE. lie c < tn iih'c I/OK the f//i'c / the loivcst in Hut clt i/ . AMUSEMENTS.
