A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. w'
" Tqhaikoffsky was but a more tshi
novnik, like you and me, beforo he hi
wade his daring plungc into the Rubi- P'
con that separates dull every-day life
from the sphere of Art, and see what,
he brought it to ! Rubinstein is a
pigmy to him now. Take heart o.1
courage, old boy, you have at brilliant
career before you. You only need a
grain of faith and a deal of pluck, and th
all the rest is plitin sailing."
The speaker, Michael ivanovitch
Petrolf, was a. low-sized, stout, fair
haired man of about 34, one of those
unconecious idealists often to be fotind
in Russia, who are never so happy as
when they are getting a friend out of ta
a dilliculty or helping him to a tri- dc
unph. His companion, a clerk, like
himself, in the service of the Ministry
of the Interior, answered to the ntamo
of Vladimir Skripkin, and although a
handsomoe-lookingr man of some 3o
years, or thereabouts, gave one the
impression that he belonged to the
pitiable category of will-less indivi
duals who slink through life as noise
lessly as they can, content if they got W
in nobody's way, and positively happy
if they manage to keep body and soul
together without sulfering the pangs f,
of hunger or the pains of imprisoiment.
Skripkin had been to the university, %
hut only for a few months havingt
been found present at an illegal muot
ing of the students, whither he had t
strayed by the merest of accidents, he
was rusticated for a year, ani never
returned. In the government ollico he
was priobably the Most industrious and I
conscientious of all the clerks, never
refusing to take all nianer of extra
work, to which he occasionally devoted
his evenings. At honie he was a niusi
cian ; that is to say, having been ac
custotned to play the piano asinc he
was 8 or 9, h11 had ac(I uired a tloroigh

'ho Wiashington Times prints the
owing in regard to a third term for
Cleveland :
There is now an organized effort
root by the Cleveland wing of the
nmocratic party to thrust a fourth
rination and a third term on their
l. This effort is to lhe started and
octed from the throne, andi every
nocratle ofice holder wvill be ex
-ted to woerk for the desired end.
Since the recent election there has
n a most deeided ehango on tho~
-t of the administration. Ptrior to
eleetion the eabinetotheorcas, alimost
-hont exceptIon, believed and in
10 instanees said, the President did
-want a third term.
The day after the election the
mbers of the offIcIal family began
ring third term from their hearts.
By belleve, or profess to believe,

inoreased perceptibly after Friday'i

" Tle cabinet olioers believe thai
Mr. Cleveland Is the only man wht
can be elected as the nominee of thu
Donocratic party. He, according tc
thon, is the only man whose per,
sonality is a plattflorlm in itself and whc
Is able to cointiand a great vote froir
the independilent and Republican ele
nMents, or, at least, the clement which
votes the Donocratlc ticket when Mr
Cloveland is a candidate.
" Mr. Clevoland, it io claimed, be.
lioves lie can be elected, and.thinke
that if he had been runnting last week
the Demnocratic party would I havc
carried the day In New York, New
.Jersey, Kentucky and Maryland. Mr,
Cleveland is not curtain th.at lie would
not have carried Ohio. The President
is of the opinion that the people re
buked the Democratic party last week
by such adverse me jorities, not be
eause they were dissatislied with the
national aciministration ; not because
of the lIlawaiian question or the
attitkido oil general foreign policy; not
because of the stand the adtninistrt
tion took on the silver and reven 'o
questions ; not becauso of the boid
issues, but wholly and solely becali -e
of populaItr disgust with Democratic
.s08se5 Who havO stood out against the
l'residont, and bocanso of the perverse
inanne' ii which certain Democrats
;iave insisted upou running after the
