A. Ijittlc Girl Disconcerts Cleveland
A Lewiston little girl disconcerted
President Cleveland the other day. 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 County Attornc's Opinion. Oil
tlio .ShorilFH Charges.
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.

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.

IS THIS JAY GOULD'S TOMB ?
To Cover IlnlT An Acrn of Ciround nntl
to He Itody-Sniitehcr Proof.
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 , "

UNCLE SAM'S MONEYBAGS.
Why Strangers Are Not Allowed to In-
speet Them.
Mail and Express : "You mu.st excuse
me , madam. 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. "
