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. a DON'T FORGET, we have a moden swift running power press, nev type, ruled and blank paper, envelope , and carda?so bring in your printing. r " - ./ .y . m OBMI maMawaamawMBDi (JIjKV 101 i an ivs ca bin ft. Prominent DomocrnlN in WuHliinKlon / risiirinj; on the i'oNHihlu SSclect ions. (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." . t Qener.il Joo Johnston, who is sev ontyseven years old, does not look over sixty. lie is straight as an arrow, and the n only sign of ago is seen in his silky gray v hair, which flows in silvery curls al? s most to his shoulders, and in his full gray beard. j .

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 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.

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 silence.

We say higher animals but do not interpret too literally.
