miiTj Altl* ON T1IR KLiECTIOX.
It is curious how a man can fool himself.
Two or throe days before the
election I had made up my mind and hecam':
reconciled to defeat, for I had been
reading both sides pretty close and had
given it up. So 1 mustered up all uiy
philosophy and imagined I was prepared
for anything. l?ul I was'nt, 1 was
fooling myself. 1 wouldn't go to Atlanta
Tuesday to see the Coitslilution's
jaok-o-my-lantern. I went to town and
voted and came hack home early for 1
dident want to stay and hear had news.
Next morning I went out on the big
road to fix a broken gate and I thought
maybe somebody would come along and
tell me the news without my asking, but
nobody came but a darkey, and he didn't
know anything, j went to the house
and ruminated and tried to be calm and
serene but I couldent, and kept looking
down the big road for somebody to come
and break the news, and I was afraid
somebody would come, and the news
I in .1?

afore now to ha to ntt aching tooth pulled
and was glad to find the; door locked and
tlio dentists gone. So I waited another
honr for somebody to come from town
and then went off to the Held to work.
About noon a man came along in a buggy
and hailed mo with a hurrah for
Cleveland and he hurried on before 1
could ask him the news. But it sounded
favorable and hoped mo up some. At
two o'clock another man came by and
said Cleveland was elected, but 1 wasn't
satisfied, so I dident cut up nor evolute, |
but by and by when 1 got my mail ami
read "Victory" in great big letters at
the head of the column I was overwhelmed
with a thankful and a joyful
surprise. There was not a soul at home
k.. *- j il- 1 ? ? * *
uui jiiu ti1111 uiu uog and me cm, and 111
as much as they couldent understand
any gymnastics 1 just kept my scat placidly
hy the fire and felt good all over all
by myself as I read the crowing and the
chuckling and the rejoicing that filled
the columns of the <'oifsfi'htfioi). 1
was just thinking about jroiug over to
tell the news to nabor Munford, for he
said that if Cleveland was elected he
knowed he would have a fit, and 1 wanted
to see what kind of a lit it would be.
Geuoral Young told mo that the first
thing he would do would be to indulge
for a day or two in some artificial elation
and then subside and reform and
join the church, for reform was the
watch word of the party and wo all
ought to reform out of gratitude.
! lint it does look like the ?rood things
I of tliis life* dont last long, I hadent rejoiced
very long before I got to feeling
sorry for the other side. Sorry for some
clever incn who were in office and would
have to step down and out. 1 was even
sorry for Mr. Hluine. The good book
says we must rejoice with those that rejoice
and weep with those that weep,
and I was trying my best to do both, i
dont care so much about the men but it
hurts me to see the wives and children
disappointed and distressed. When a
good man is in oflice and needs it for
the support of his family, I dont think
I could turn' him out, I dont think I
could, and that is one thing that tna'de me
like (Jrovcr Cleveland, for they say that
when he was first elected Governor of
New York ho never turned out but one
man. Well thnt may do in New York
but it wont do at Washington. The rascals
must all go and tliore are lots of
them. Mr. Cleveland will be doing
enough for them to pardon them out
of the penitentiary when they got there.
Reform is what the nation wants. The
tariff is a little thing compared with it.
Hut while I ruminated on these things
and was feeing comfortable and complacent
over my own generous feelings towards
a fallen foe, a feller came along
with the news that New York had gone
for Maine, and so I just collapsed and
wilted and felt as humble and helpless
as a dead nigger I lost all my philosophy
in half a minute and felt like I did
not have a friend in the world. Mrs.
Aril \vnvi nttrnv nfF in nn?l ^

were in town and the children were at
school. 'J*ho dog came creeping in to
the fire nnd I kicked him out. nnd then 1
got sorry Tor him and called hiin hack
again. When the children came home
1 dident indulge in my usual loving
greetings, nor ask who ras head nnd
how they got along but I moped around
and looked solemn until Jessie said,
"Papa, you arc sick aint you ?"
By and by my nabor Freeman dropped
iti. I know he would conic if Blaine
was elected, for he is sorter on that side
of the fence, and I never join issue with
him in an unpleasant way about it, for
be is a good nabor and that boats politics
ami he has just as much right to bis
opinion as 1 have to mine. Hut I knew
that if he found out lilaine was elected
be would cotno down to jubilate a little
and see what I had to say about it. So
I never let on but brightened up ami
made out like it was just what I expected
and it didn't make any difference either
to him or tome. 1 nevor gave him
any chamcc to crow over me, but I was
home sick all the same. I cant bear to
be lifted away up yonder and then have
all the props knocked from under. I
don't mind coming down op a sliding
scale but it hurts me to fall jio far and
so heavy of a sudden.
Now here it is again, another paper
and the same old "Victory" at the mast
head, and both sides claiming it. Hut
my faith is now shaken and I'm going
to sta}' down on the ground until 1 know
more than I do now I'm sorry for nabor
Mutifonl for they say he has a lit
every morning because Cleveland is
elected and another in the evening because
ho aint, and Cieneral Young is in
a bad fix, too, and nobody knows when
be will bo roailv ti? Join <lir> liuwli
lint there is 110 sense in mourning and
cavorting over polities. If Blaine is
elected l"in going to make tho best of it
and he like the feller who swam around
old Noah's ark and asked to ho lot in,
and when old Noah shook his head ho
swain oil" to a iloating log and straddled
it and said he dident believe there was
going to be much of a shower no how.
Roland told mc to-day that politics dident
bother him much in time of peace,
but he heard that Bob Toombs said there
would be another revolution before long
and he reckoned they would Ivt a poor
man tight a little when it did come.
That's so. They will let a poor man
fight. U11.1. A up.

The Ii.nlicH of (lie White House Under
the New Administration.
Albany, X. Y., Xrtreml..-r*-9.?Here
it is regarded as settled that Governor
Cleveland is the next President, and already
the gossips arc; busy with conjectures
as to who will be the lady of the
White House, 'l'here is a well-defined
belief among his friends that there is
a young lady in Western New York
who will soon be led to the altar by the
Presidentelect. Others who have known
hiin long and well say that he will never
marry and lhat this talk simply comes
of the faot that he has shown this young
woman some slight attentions since he
was elected Governor. Enrly in life his
hopes and ambitions for a wife were
| crushed by the hand of death, and his
affection for the lost one has kept him
treading the wine press of life alone. If
the reports that he is to marry are not
true then his own immediate family will
furnish the lady to do the social honors
of his administration.
It is generally believed by those who
know him Lest that there will bo less
festivities during his term of orlice than
have been for many years past. He has
been a hard working Governor and will
probably continue his industrious habits
as President. Bachelor as he is, the
White House will, however, have si
most creditable mistress. There an
four ladies in his immediate family, either
of whom can well do the honors ol
the household. His eblnnt. in Ihis
country, Mrs. W. E. Moyt of Fayetteville,
would lill any position with credit
She is a tuiddlc-aged lady, of pleasing
address, who has spent u good deal o!
time at the Executivo Mansion hero sinct
her brother has been Governor. Shi
has made many friends bore in the enpi
ial of the State, and will doubtless dc
the same in Washington, where she will
probably go the 4th of next March
Miss II. E. Cleveland is the maiden sis
ter. She still resides in the little homt
cottage nt Holland Patent, just abov<
Ulica. A good public speaker, a quicV
conversationalist and generally a plaii
woman of intellectual force, she woub
do her share in entertaining her broth
er'rt guests at the National Capitol. Mr
Cleveland has a sister who for twenty
years has been a missionary at Ceylon
She has two charming young ladj
daughters, Mary and Carrie Hastings
whom the Governor has been for vear:
educating in this country. He hai
given tlieni every advantage and the]
have improved them. They will n<
doubt be a part of their uncle's famib
circle at Washington, as they have beei
at times here.
With Mrs. Iloyt or any one of thre<
other ladies spoken of the social end o
the first Democratic Administration fo
a quarter of a century will be well sus
tained, even should tho President clcc
, continue a bachelor.

(Special to (lie I'hihulclphia Times.)
Washington, November 10.?Democ
crats here are canvassing tbe probable
comploxion of Cleveland's Cabinet in as
lively a manner as though there wore
c
not a shadow of dispute about his election,
and Republicans find themselves ^
unconsciously falling into the same
habit, though they vociferously declare
that the}' believe Blaine is elected
when their attention is called to
v
their slip. It is noticeable that
none arc bothering their heads ^
about the pesonality of Mr. Blaine's
Cabinet. A number of prominent
Southern men were to-day spoken
to on the subject, and they agreed that
the South should demand at least two ^
representatives in the Cabinet. The ^
names of Lamar. 11 union, Reagan and ,
Beck were most frequently mentioned.
Senator Beck said to-day that he would
. r
not give up his seat in the Senate for a
Cabinet position, and expressed a belief
that Mr. Bayard would also prefer
a continuation of his Senatorial career ^
in ease he were oflered a Cabinet port- ^
folio. The blunt spoken Scotch Kentuckian
said it was absurd to talk of ..
Randall for the head of the treasury department,
but did not explain the nature
of the absurdity.
Mr. Beck's Cabinet, as far us he has
cot, is Thurman for the Slate department,
McDonald for attorney-general,
fJeneral McClellan for secret a rv of war
and Keagan for postmaster-general. |
Several prominent Democrats are carrying
the following slate around in their
l
pockets : Thurman or Ilayanl for secretary
of State, Randall for the treasury,
MeClellan for the war department, Ilun- *
[
ton or Lamar for the navy, Uarl Schurz
for the interior, McDonald for attorneygeneral.
Il is claimed by many, however,
that the secretary of the treasury
must COlllfi from Ynr'- mill tl.if
that will preclude the selection of !
Sehurz for the interior, an he is now a
citizen of that State. Tarilf Democrats
are enthusiastic for Randall for the
treasury position and the Free-traders
oppose him. Speaker Carlisle is named '
for a position hy roprosonliitivcs of the
latier faction. It is said, that Dorshei- *
mer, of New York, would like to he al- ^
torney-genernl, but here again the unexplained
assumption that the secretary
of treasury must be a New Yorker *
stands in the way of the portly ex-Lieu- ^
tenant-Governor's ambition. No one
seems to be able to name a New York .
candidate for the no?itir?n Sionnt/ir '
Kernan's name bobbed to tbo surface 1
once for a moment, but went down again n
like lead. Democrats who are looking N
for a Sherman or McGulloch in the Empire
State have not yet apparently discovered
their man. They say that all '
the ablest Democratic financiers of
Xew York have business alliances that '
will not admit of their choice. The '
Eastern States do not have a place at all 1
in the allcctions of the Cabinet makers. J
Scimtor ISnyard'u Wise Words.
To an interviewer wlio called upon '
' Senator Bayard, at his home in Wilmington,
Delaware, last Thursday, the
; distinguished statesman said : "The
thing that I really foul the moat at this '
time i.s the capacity of our republican 1
form of government to right itself in
i'he presence of great daggers. lieing
firmly convinced as I am that this election
was a crisis for the American people
and their government, lam deeply
impressed with the strength of the moral
forces that have vindicated themselves
and prevailed. It is a time, thereJ
fore, of congratulation, not only to
I those whose votes have prevailed, hut
! to that large minority who have been
' overcome, because the victory hna been
gained without the employment of a
single force abhorrent to the true prin'
ciples of good government, and really
in opposition to those forces that have
insideously grown to strength in an era
' of war and excitement.
i "Independent of the individual azen
1 cenccK employed in the contest, the new
1 majority are logically homul to walk in
1 the pathway of reform. Economies
must he instituted, a purer md hotter
political morality must be practiced and
< the great popular powers of govern
inont ho exorcised in a oroadcr spirit
' and less under the control and domina?
of selQsh individual and class interest0.
s "In short I think our countrymen of
" all parties, all classes and races, may
f congratulate themselves that tlie ship of
1 state has righted herself in the midst of
>' r heavy sea, and that what has h'een ac
1 coinplished liy that is noi to be narrowed
to individual or party benefit, but
5 will be found to be salutary and benefif
cial to the public bealtb and general
r welfare." .

JEFF DAVIS* PORTRAIT.
l Northern Paper Charges that a
Southern Editor is Afllic*to?i with
ha?l Eyesight.
The following is taken from the Cininnnti
Times-Star in reply to the
tateinent made by the Cowuta, 0?a.)
hli'crfiscr that Secretary Robert l.inoln
had removed from the list of porraits
of the secrctarieH of war that of
efferson Davis :
A paragraph is floating about in the
ewspnpers, just now, to the effect that
ome Georgia editor, who visited the
far department reccn'.ly, went away
or}' indignant because the portrait of
eft" Davis was not to be found among
hose of the secretaries of war which
ilorn the department. Certainly he
iiust have been atllictcd with very bad
yesight lor the portrait of Mr. Davis
langs in its proper place among these,
large as life and twice as natural.* It
langs in the room of the private sccre:iry
of war, in its regular order, the
portraits in the gallery being arranged
kith reference to the date of service ol
he secretaries whom they represent.
The war department prides itself on
mving, with one exception, the only
ell line of portraits of the various
ecretaries who have presided over il
roin tl?e beginning down to the present
ime. So the portrait of Mr. Davis is
hern. If the Georgia editor had had oeasion,
however, to ride up the I'oto
nac a few miles above Washington lu
vould have found .something genuine tc
xcite his regard. "Cabin John IJridge'
s said to be thy largest stone arch in
he world. It was constructed by tli<
var department in l'ierce's administra
ion for the purpose of carrying across
, deep chasm the large nine-foot water
>ipu which runs from Great falls lifted
hiles above Washington, to the re tier
roir.
The bridge, which is 420 feet long, i:
i single stono arch It was con^iderei
so important a feat that it was though
>roper to cut in it the name of the pros
dent, secratary of war, engineer am
>thi!is under whom it was constructed
Mr. Davis being then secretary o
var, his name was cut in the browi
andstone of which the arch is made
t is not there now, however, but oppo
:ite the words, "Secretary of War" is ;
leep blank, showing that the name ha:
>eon cutout. The name, it is stated
vas cut out by order of the secretary o
var, Mr. Stanton, who was the head o
he department during the years in whirl
left'Davia* name was so unpopular nortl
if Mason ard Dixon's line. The dec]
ncision made in the stone just when
he letters of the name originally were
md beside the words "secretary o
var,'' makes it "conspicuous l>y its ab
ieiiee," and this feature of this wonder
ul struc'urc is a sul ject of remark b;
nany visiting it.
The portrait gallery in the war de
Kirtuient, regarding which the com
daiiit above alluded to was made, is th
creation of William K. Belknap, secre
tary of war under Grant from Octobe
23, 18G'J, to March 2, lH7t>. The propri
sty of adorning the walls of the de
[>artment with the portraits of the see
retarios of war occurred to Mr. Bell:
nap during the term of his period in ol
tice. Ilo immediately set to work t
gather these portraits. It required
great deal of effort, however, in the ear
lier day, but by persistent effort he sui
ceeded in collecting nil but two, one (
which was Iloger Griswold, who wa
secretary under John Adams, and tli
other a gentleman who was secretinfor
a brief period, and whose name lit
not been learned.
The "Mother Ilubbard'' dress pre
vokod Benjamin F. Taylor tfl say in tl
N. Y. Examiner: "Unbelted, hangit
from the shoulders like a collapsed un
brella, 'gathered' just under the arm
twisting about the wearer in the win
like a Hag around the stair, swelling I'd
a sail, shrinking like a shriveled husk i
the shape, these garments have no pa
allel except anions the islanders of tl
South Sea, where the bolls weavo a b
door mat, make a hole in it, thrust the
heads though it, and are ready for
promenade around the coral strand."
Mr. Runaround was out lato the oth<
night, and the next morning at breai
fast, in ordur to "justify" himself, he r
marked to his wife : "My Dear, we ha^
been married twenty years, and you lo(
almost as young as you did then." "Y(
have not changed a particle," she r
sponded sweetly. "Not changed !" 1
answered in surprise, remembering h
gray locks and tnby nose. "Why, ho
can you say that?" Rocauso things pr
served in alcohol never change, she a
sxvered. Mr. 11. buttered his napk
ring, under the impression that it was
muffin, and the meal progressed

SlICiTHt*.
Tho hog, studied from an artistic
point of view, is a dismal failure, hut
viewed in tho light of a long-felt want
ho looms up a preeminent and lasting
success.
The origin of the hird is lost in antiquity
(whatever that may be) but that
he is the lon^ sought missing link between
man and the higher animals there
can bo no doubt. We say higher animals
but do not interpret too literally.
A man can get higher than any quadruped
known to science, if properly educated
and furnished with tho right brand of
liquor, but lie can and does got lower
than any animal that breathes the breath
of life. In many respects a man is just
like a hog, only more so?110 offence to

The very thing a hog is expected to

1 When he is about half way there is a
- very mad woman causes him to change
" his mind, and ho starts on a tour of in'
spection. She drives him up to tho
" gale and makes a wild rush at him with
1 a broom in order to add cclat to tho fin "
ish she adds to it. The hog looks at
the gate as if ho thought of buying it,
and then with noise like ripping up
' eight miles of plank'sidewalk he makes
1 a rush in the opposite direction, and the
- air is full of striped stockings and em
1 broidery. Then the woman cries, goes
into the house and puts soiue courtf
plaster where it will do the most good,
1 and gives a boj* a quarter to get the hog
out of the garden. The boy drives him
- the other way, and the hog whirls and
1 goes through the gate with a grunt of
triumph.?Minneapolis Jiazuo.

ld liiskop Pierce on the Bible.
to Hero is the treasure which never waxes
old. Here is knowledge without decay,
truth which endureth forever. From it
10 comes all pure morality, out of it proig
ceeds nil the sweet charities of life. In
jr it is the motive power that is now reforming,
anil by and by will achieve the reformation
of our race. The old man
leaning upon his stnff and tottering to
the tomb reads it and thanks God he was
L>r born to die. The gray-haired matron
soothes her sorrow by its records of
love, and the light of her hopo kindled
e" by its inspiration projects beyond the
^'0 desolations of death. C hildren and
)]( youth pillow their heads upon its truth
)u in nature's last struggle and die with
their fingers between its proraise-freighte"
ed leaves. In the house of mournm.** ita
lie footstep is as noiseless as an angels wing
lis and its power to cheer more potent than
w an angel's tongue. At the grave 0f tho
buried, it chants the hymn of hope,
nrenches the patience of fnith to inournn"
ing friendship and stricken love, exhales
in and crvstalizes the tears of sorrow, and
ia goms the crown of life with transfigured
mementoes of earthly Buffering.
