Some Interesting incidents of Ills Chili hood's I)ays--Tho Qualitles Whicih Jlaiv Sineoo lstinguished lim Manifested Ii His Youth. (From a Washington Letter.) I had quite a pleasant convorsatiol last evening with on of Presiden Cleveland's old schoolmates, who is nov oocupying a position hero in one of th< Government departments. The oli schoolmate of the President's was bon at Fayetteville, Now York, the town thal Mr. Clevo land visited .3ome weeks ago. ie told me that Fayettovillo is a beau tiful village of somoi 1,000 or 1,800 in habitants, lying in a romantic regiou about seven miles cast of Syracuse, and is noted among other things for its pro duction of limo. The Cleveland family removed to that place in the year 1840, when the Boy. Richard Cleveland, the PresideLt's father, became pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and when Grover was only three years old. The gentleman referred to related some interesting reminiscences of the Presidcnit's boyhood days at Fayettc vle. Their first school days were presided ov?+r by 0. 1). Ilanchard, who is still hving. "GROVE" A GREAT FAVOIITE. "'Grove,' as the boys all know him," said my informant, "was always a favor ito in and out of school. He was a strong, good-naturci youth, about as studious as the average school boy, and did not, as I recollect him, evince any special liking for books. Juiced, there was nothing about him when we were school boys together that indicated future greatness. There were ninny other boys there who were called bright er. Although 'Grove' was full of fun and joined in all the boyish sports, such a riding down hill, snow balling and .he carrying off of front gates, there was a certain marked earnestness in his ran ncr which distinguished him from the et . r boys. When we went to the Fayettoville Academy, 'Grove' belonged to a debating society, and 1 freqtuenatly hoard him in debate. lie was not i-ally a fluent speaker, but T remember very well that he rapidly developed into a close and forcible reasoner. if his argn mentativo blows did not flush with brilliancy, they were heavy and eilective for a boy of fourteen years of age. YoUNG canLEND COUIIAO.OU5. "Grover was decidedly conma;cou-+ boy. lie would patiently bear a great deal of hectoril before he would light, but he was a hard ant igonist when his wrath became kidld. I recollect one occasion when he ,ave an exhibition, not only of his courage, but also of his ability to defend hiur self against the assaults of a fellow almost twice his aize. This individual was one of our school bullies. Young Cleveland had inter vened t0 protect a small boy from a severe culling which the bully was in flicting upon him, whereupon he turiied and said: 'If you don't abut up I'll ;lap your moutit.' 'I don't think you will,' said Grover very cooly, as ho strai,ht ered himself for battle. liut the lmuly did slap him, and 'Grove' went in rorgh and tumble, and in a very short tne he had his enemy down bellowing loudly for mercy. Ho was let up with a bloody nose, and a reputation as a, fighter irretrievatily loLt. 'This grent victory established the conqueror's title to hero of the school, and we were never thereafter afratid if we had 'Grove' Cleveland on our side. lIe was~ one ol the few boys who 1ared to nmake the hazardous ascent of the belfry of the academy by wiay of t.he lightning red. 1 remember that it few of us climbed up one night, whlen he wats of the party, to usher in the Fourth of 'July by' ringing the bell at twelve o'clock. \\ e were a little early and went to sleep in the belfry, around the floor of which there was no railing to p)revenlt our rolling oi. I believe on this occasion the trustees, or somebody else in authority, had for bidden the ringing of the bell, but we couldn't see how the nation's birthday could be properly celebrated iat Faty< to vine, at least without 'whooping up' thea 0o(1 bell, and so at 112 o'clock we madeh her ring! While we wore making all the noise we could up there we heard other nois in the building below us, and havin~g the fear of the trustees before ouri oyes, rapidly slid down the rod! We rte(ied the ground safely with the ex cept ion of Girover, one of whose lege caubg oin a split in the rod, which held him there firmly and he could neithlei got up nor do)wn. We liberated him finally, after much dIilliculty, but nis leg was pretty badly hurt. 1I0 wits already~ very fond of fishing, and I satt with hin: many ia (lay on a log on the banks oj Limestone creek and lished for suckers lie wits a quiet and eatrnest fishermain and usually took home a good string.J have always thought it a little siniguila that he never atared for horsebitck rutling as a boy.1I have noc recollection of eve. seeing him on a horse's bacek. I don't 'owever, think lie wvas afraid of ai hors< any means. HiE (LEiRKS IN A DRUo5 sToRIi:. "When Grover's father moved fron a'iyetteville, young Cleveland enterei drug store at thatt plhac, whlere lhe re mained until 1853 or '54. lIe boardet y;ith his emp)loyer, and was at that tini one( of the most piopuilar young nu ui ii the town. lie was always genial, friendl; and accomimodatiLig, maktiing a first elas clerk. Hie was a firm friend and ati agreeable companion, though not ini elined to be demoenstrartive, more ipt it listen quietly than to lead ini convers tion. lie was thoroughly upright, trth ful and conscientious, anid all who knies him regretted when, at the age fi seven teen,,bhe left the village to join his fiathier family at Clinton. ''4 If yeoung Cleveland was not a brillin boy at the academiy, he wies certainl, noted for patient indlustry, f lie di, not excel in any put t iculsar branch, hi sitatus for general proficiency was t*ipa to that of the best of hiis fellow:; I wrt Geometry was not taught at the ntyei N yille Acaddtihy ini our day. Algebra n the highest of the mathlematical it mi favorito studies; indeed, his mental cu rent appeared quito early to run towar< .bo exact science, nd to logic especial ly. history wrs another of his ehosei studies. A member of his father'i church hadv a fine library to which man - of us had free access, and Grover availe himself of the Opportunity thus oflere to enrich his mind with historical read ing, for which ho always showed ai especial fondness. Plutarch's Lives, ai I remember, was in this library, and ] am very sure that he and I lingered ovoi those charmed p.ges about the sam( tune. 1 havo no doubt that they left ar indelible impression on his young mind, as they surely did on my own. TOOK A LiVELY INTI:u'mr IN 1'OLITIes. "I really cannot say whether he wa much of a newspaper reader. A small weekly paper was pl)lished there, and besrdes the Syraceso daily paper:. wort taken by man )ersous at .ayetteville. Aa we know, tuere can h no doubt that ho took a lively interest in the great po litical issues which oro then wrenching asunder partles, and beginning to shake the country to its very foundation. As hw was not old enough to vote when he lived at Fayetteville, I never know any thing of his politics. His father was a )emoerat, but I saw him once nt an Abolitionist meeting, where they were exhibiting a runaway slave, who for this purpose had been sent over from Syra cuso, which was then a station of the 'Underground tailroad.' I think, how ovr, Elder Clev-land, as he was known, took no part in the meeting, wnY IE ])ILN'T (10 o ('OLLEOE. "When Grover left Fayettevillo to go to Clinton it was generally understood that ho would prepare hlimself for col lege and enter the mninistry. T kne>s ri.y mother used to say, 'Grove Cleveland is a good Christian boy and will become a great prencher.' lie has quite recently told why lie did not go to college. He :urely did not lack the desire, but rather the pecuniary ability. 11 is father's family was large and his salary would now be regardcd aS a mere pittance. After providing for the necessaries of life for his children, there was not much of a inalgin for thle expenso an(1 support of collgch iniinig for all the boys. Grover found laisrtelf obliged to forego the cherishc hope of his youth, and he choked down the great disappointment manfully pnd struck out boldly for him self. It wul(d appear to have been so ordained, that he should thi rough trial :ed :.irugkle dcvelop himself for the grat wrk which his country would re <quire of him. 'I think tieoe who know Mr. Cleve land vell as a hoy and a young man are not at tll surpri cd at the resoluti on, stern. del rminito4n, and unswerving do votion to uhL.t ho beliCves to be his dluty, re.a rdless of personatl conse <luCuces, which hava, in. a markcd degree, <?lttr4 "tc'ri2c+d hin. wh'ltr 1timi litn 'I HE CLEVELAND G,IlLS. ''Of course, I know the girls, Rose and Mary, his sisters, the latter now Mrs. Hoyt, of Fayetteville, but I don't recol lect anything of public interest to say about either of them. I saw them almost every (lily in and out of school. The only thing that I recall as having impressed me is the fact that in certain mental qualities and manners Miss Roso Cleveland showed a im ar ked resemb:flee to h eo r brother ( rov r, as I nave at teuptc(i to describe him.

(From the Now York Times ) A very interesting controversy hI been agitating the minds and hearts < the freight agents of transcontienth railroadu, the pool commissioners, tL Inter-btato commerce commissioncir and California dry goods merchants sinc early in February. And it is all about bustles. Althoug this article has long occupied a placo c dignity and prominenco in the wardrol of the properly appareled woman, an has formed an important item in th Iibucris of merchants, mannfacturert cart(Joiists and common carriers, it ha not, until the July revision, occupied plu"e on tho freight taril'. Theu u clah , 'led dry goods paid $3 per hurAre freillter: to ben Franciseo, while hool skirts, uuder the cla.ssiic+tion of wit goods, were assessed only $1.50 per hun dred. It was consequently the custor of merchants to ship bustles as "wir goods" or "hoopshirta" indillerently, s de;cribing them in the bills of lading am paying tho lower rate of charges. Thou sands of cases had thus been shippe< and passed by the freight agents withou question, and the goods had been sob and gone into circulation, when an, tin lucky manufacturer, in February last sent to Stiefel, Sachs & (Jo., of Sai Francisco, a case of these goods deserib ed in the bills of lading as ''biustles.' The guileless California freight agent knowing little and professing to knou nothing of this mysterious distendor o1 my lady's dress and supporter of her skirts and hoops, looked in vain for tht rate on bustles in the tarill catalogue. RN, tliorefore, charged the rate on un clasitied dry goods of e ...., , tated the contest by sending in his bill. The merchants protested againwt the payment, and the matter was referred to the general traflic managers of the roads in Now York. Some of these were married men who professed to know something about bus ties, for all of their wives were supposed to wear them. An elderly gentleman from among the benedietd was indignant over what 10 termed the ''low subter fuge" of classing bustles as :ooprkirts or wire gouds when there wesn't a bit of wire nor a hoop of any kind about them. lie ought to know, for his wife had worn a bustle for years. The article was mado of feathers and cloth; two long narrow bags just wide enough to-to--well, to escape being sat en, were sowed togeth or, the larger one below, and fastened on with strings. Some of the younger meln seent'd aluU-ed at ; description, and one inituired if old newsPaper.3 were ever employed for stulling iustead of feathers. A wise looking man, of ma ture years and a large family of girls, said iU had it on the best of authority I tha the ewban4ir bustle e\isted only in the columns of allegea ir tity ; .p A well constructed butle was filled witL curled hair and a still be .cr qualit,y with wool. lii former years he had purchased such articles himself and 1 felt that he was an authority upon the subject. The preponderance of testimony, al though it did not agree as to detils, was clearly so far against "wire goods' and 'hoopskirts,'' and the trallie mana gers seemed about to sustain the charge of three dollars per hundred, as un classifled dry goods, when at young mar ried m a with a seh oin his hose, who had listened thus fur without speaking, said he thought there must be somethint; in the wire thleory of construction. le had gone home a little late the week be fore a little the worse for wear, and was making a manly cilort to get to bed without disturbing his silent pax titer, when his foot caught in something that feIt like a bird cage about his an kle and lie pitchxed forward 1til he reached the muext l, whieb hte found withi his nose. lit utter d an exchamavtion which traus formedt his silent partner inio oe of thei mno-t activec kinid of patrtners, and comn jaolle.d dn explan ation.

So she plastered his nose anid said th< Iwreck didn't matter; it could be0 eatsily replaced. "BuTht where's the rest of it, and wht ' become of thec bird?'' lio asked.

(Fr."m the New York Times.) l'reparations have already begun for the execution of the seven Anarchiats in the county jail on Friday, November 11. Sheriff Matson will receive $700 for that lay's work, as the county allows him 1() for every man hanged. Just how ho big job will be accomplished has not >een decided. The three Italian mur lerors were hanged together on the same caffold, and that bit of entcrpriso taxed o the utmost limit the existing hanging apacity of the lail. One scheme is to ang the men in pairs, leaving Albert R. 'iirsons to the last as the seventh or odd uian. The law says the men must be xlecut(d l)ttween the hours of 10 in the aorning and 1 in the efternoon, and it thought that the intervening time will )f'i.0 tor th workc O)u thi8 plan. If ihl . nde is adopted, tuo roldern weights; 'ill be used. Selirifl Matson is opposed o the plan, because of the long-drawn mtt agony of a day's work at hanging, ad favors the old-fashioned platform, rap an(1 drop. There is just enough room in the jail orridor to erect an extension gibbet wenty-eight feet long, giving four feet pace for the drop of each body. Seven npca will hang from tho cross beam, hich, in tinrn, will be supported by five on arms. '1h traps will be arranged > dop from a lonb har e\ nding the ngth of the platuorn, by which the von traps can be releasei simultaneous. and the Ainireli8ts ho all launched to eternity together. The extension hbet will be erected privately in some c'rot place during the next fortnight, d ex(perim(enits will be ilado until it irks in a satisfactory manner. If the n(kne( Anarchists really hope for 'r"ss in appealing to the Federal Su mito Court or to Governor Oglesby, 'ir hope is not shared by Sheriff Mat , 'Jailer F'olz or Staite's Attorney nell, and alt necessary preparations lie eseoution of the sentence will tOtted ralitly. le sberil' lis tried hard to keep n tlie Papers the fatct that he is pro lng to put away the (loomed men he will have succeeded until the i take pof t his.
