"Oath's" Picture of Cleveland, [Special Telegram to the Globe.l Civinx^ti, 0., Dec. 7.— Oath has been to lee Cleveland, and telegraphs the follow ing as to his visit: "I was ushered into the executive cham biT without having to present a card. The •room presents, both in appointments and audience, something of the appearance of tbe ante room of a prime minister or king, when suddenly the wainscotting at the rear opens and there steps in a substantial look- Ing man with a firm tread. No clumsiness of movement, solid, glow but not stiff, "and be is dressed in black all over; dressed rather negligently, as If the black suit had been well worn. Be holds his hands toward bis nips and a little behind htm, In an uncon strained yet settled position. lie has a portly figure, a .short neck and a head of good 6izc; not, as in the caricatures of the last cam paign, with a brow noticeably narrow. His hair is brown, and much browner than the portraits and photographs make it appear. It does not look like black hair at a distance, and closer by it is seen to be a medium brown, more sandy than black. It is pretty thick hair, but has fallen off at places, and there is a iarge bald spot just behind the Brown of his bead. His skin was originally fair, but has the appearance of one not par ticular about the diet, and one who would take his beer at night freely. The 6kin is healthy, but it is that of the German and of the good liver. He has a mustache of a brown color, tolerably large. His nose is something between a Roman and Jewish. His forehead is good. His eyes are of a blue color and not very firm in tint, as if with a fluid tendency. They are not disagreeable eyes, but somewhat cold. The expression of Gov. Cleveland's face is that of a man babftued to consider business tilings, and not decide them with out a little anxiety. It is not the anxiety of a nervous man, but that of a positive one, who wishes to take a successful and stern view of the case, and not be accused of infirmity in his judgment. You see a face like this in a good many banks about the time persons are going in for loans and the president's face is just half welcoming with a shade to ward the word "No." At the same time Gov. Cleveland moves about his office like its master, or rather, its owner. One firm in bis position, solid on bis feet, and by weight accustomed to stay rather than waltz about. lie would turu from left to right and advance a 6tc*p or two. then turn to another grass. and perhaps bis hand will fly out for a mo ment and you hear bis voice somewhat In the throat, affable but dry, distinct, and generally accompanied with a short, brief nod of the bead. , Not a single sign of the vote getter is in But man. He does not look like a man ivbo ever solicited a vote, and if he had was rather ashamed of it. He makes the impres sion of a person in a situation where it is easier to concide and make a mistake than to shake bis head short and 6ay "No." Indeed, while we are looking at him he is saying no. People are going up with their pardon cases. He says, smiling a little, shaking his head a little, stepping a little within a small radius: "Ah, not to-day. lam afraid I can not take up any pardon cases to-day. What is your case?" To a conspicuous man, "A pardon case? Well, you may come again a 11 o'clock, and I will try and see you then. No more pardon eases now." Then while some are waiting and some are going oil, he sits down at a table and begius to write; composing amidst the crowd as if he were accustomed to it. Introduced to any stranger he seldom has anything to say, unless that stranger be some equal or party friend, when be may make a little phrase almost in monosyllables, intimating that he knows who he Is. Then there is a little smile, a jerk or two of the head and he is down at the table again writing something with his own hand. I foresee that the question will be asked whether Cleveland impressed me as a gentle man. He impressed me as a New York state gentleman. That is to say, a success ful business man in merchandise or finance. His manners were those you generally find at the bead of some large business establishment. Not a man who wants to sell you a bill, but who repre sents the house, knows its strength and Is in his business hours while you are looking at him. I cannot get a nearer description of Cleveland than to say that he reminds me of a strong, self-made bank president, who has not been much in courtier life, but whose native courage and respectable instincts would acquit him well anywhere. He has not that shy look you often saw on President Graft's face; he has not that clear, moral complexion borne by Hayes; he doe 6 not tower up like the soldier school teacher that Garfield was; yet there is something about him more decided and executive liKe than any of these men. He is big enough to make a physical Impression; thoughtful enough in countenance to show that he is a no trifier,and can smile enough to show that be is not bad hearted. When he settles down to write you see that business is his ruling inclination. I fancy that in this man we have come nearer a commercial age than we ever guessed. That while he has been a lawyer, his true bent was for something commer cial and executive, and that his official posi tions, which have always been of an execu tive character, have turned the counting clerk and commercial lawyer into a factor of public office. The intellectual life of the man, I should think to be but moderate and sub ordinate to his official career.' Those who are looking for a man of many Bides, of ner vous flexibility, of subtlety of character, cap able under pressure of lofty strains of elo quence or highly courageous epithets or words, will probably be disappointed. In him the presidential office for a time drops away from the delicate atmosphere of romance and becomes a mere band to execute the laws and an eye to control the executive depart ment. Efficiency in the service is what this •man is after. He believes in bringing the public service up to something like a mer cantile service. Matters foreign to his past career he seems to have no fondness to dis cuss. HeseemVnot to be a man of much Dailn 111 OTlnhr curiosity, the literary and the reportorial fac ulties are hardly there. Mr. Letter, the Millionaire Merchant, In terviewed. [Special Tclet;rarn to the Globe. Chicago, Dec. 7. — "What is the feeling In business circles regarding Mr. Cleveland's election I" was asked of Mr. L. S. Leiter, the Chicago retired millionaire merchant, who is spoken of in connection with a cabinet posi tion. "At first lhere was more or less alarm felt, and a. feeling of uncertainty about the future, but that has worn off. and a? a rule the busi ness element has become reassured, and does not look forward with any large Jetrree of apprehension. In fact, the president elect nan been bo conservative in bis ' course and words that people really begin to think that be is controlled by ■ -in- to make it a business man's administration, a plain, steady, common sense rule, with no non sense about it. When I met Mr. Cleveland, ; I stadia 1 him as closely as possible, weighed bis words and measured him to the tn-.-t of my ability. To my mind his predominant trait it strong common sense. There is noth ing vajru)- and visionary about him, and I think the key note was struck wb«*n be said that the better part of the Republican party and that part of the Democratic arty which favored good government would be satisfied with his course. With this as a text, there need not be much doubt as to his intended policy." "Will he make wholesale removals from office?" ••I do not think that he will interfere with the rank and file, the great mass of clerks, etc. As to the beads of .'departments and bureaus, it is nothing more tlian right and just that those who fill such offices should be in harmony with the administration. The most advanced advocates of civil service re form could ask no more than that. In this connection I will state, not on hearsay, but of my own knowledge, that he iroes into office without having made a single promise to any individual regarding a reward for services rendered, or with a mortgage due on any of fice or offices. There never was a president who entered the office as completely uutraiu meled." "Turning from politics to business, do you look for any change in the situation!" "Not much before next spring. I believe that we have about touched the lowest point in all directions. There has been more or less over-production iv different channels and there does not exist a stagnation that is likely to continue during the winter, for that is not ■ Mas in which much movement could be made. But I look forward to a revival in the spring, and in a year, when the people see that no harm conies of ■ change *$>t par ties, everything will be moving along pros perously and in good thane. Let ■ say this right here about the west, and 1 don't believe It is vanity on my part to state that 1 know this section of country, and the great Mississippi valley as well as any living man, for I have studied it during a thirty years' residence in Chicago. It never was in a better condition. Its farmers and producers are, as a rale, forehanded, out of del>t tad prosperous, and the resources are great. They have an im mense crop on hand, which while large enough to stagger one in its magnitude, still comes when the former stocks have bean exhausted, and as toon as confidence is re stored, and they come to ■ understand thil there are no rucks ahead, you will see a for ward movement that will create a boom it, trade circles." Mr. Letter was in all of his utterances very optlmistic in regard to both politics and trade. In referring to the pressure of what the south would bring to bear on Mr. Cleve land for spoils Of office, be said that he thought that the report was exaggerated. And even if it did happen the new president had the stamina and physique that would en able him to resist it successfully. Mr. Letter baa leased Mr. Blainc's new house iv Washington for a term of live years, and his family will make the capital their residence, while he will divide bis time be tween New York and Chicago. Judge Thompson Interviewed on the Situ ation. | Special Telejrram to the- Globe. I CniCAGO, Dec. 7. — Judge J. L. Thompson, of Albany, N. V., was la the city yesterday, and a reporter of the Time* had a conversa tiou with him relative to thiugs political la and about the capital, and the state generally. lie has met the president-elect daily, and says thai Cleveland is winning golden opin ions from all classes except the übiquitous office-seekers, the latter finding but little consolation cither in his words or aetious. He has that rarest of fatuities, the self-control that keeps him evenly bal anced and unostentatious under cirenm &t«nces that would throw most men off their poise. His few utterances have been judicious and reassuring, and the business element has taken much comfort from hi.- evident ambition and determination to win to their industries the elements of stability that a Change of administration seems to threaten. It is believed that he will throw the weight of his influence against the radicals of the party which it represents, as far at least as to hinder them from making any hazardous experiments. As these inferences were drawn from the few things that be has said, and his nearest friends entertain the same opinion as to bis future policy, it may be taken for granted that it may be as outlined. His greatest danger lies in the assault that will be made upon him, and the pressure he will have to stand from that class of patriots whose idea of victory does not rise above the amount of spoils involved. Hardly had a day elapsed after the final triumph was assured, before they commenced a pilgrimage to Albany ostensibly to congratu late him, but really for the more selfish mo tive of securing some sort of recognition. But few, however, have been so fortunate as to secure any promises. Mr. Cleveland keeps himself free from entanglement, treats them all courteously and indicates to the most of them that there will be plenty oL time to consider all matters relating to patronage after he shall have been inaugur ated. The visit of Mr. Hendricks to Albany occasioned much comment. Not from what did, but what did not take place. It was natural that, with perfect confidence between the two, a consultation should have been had, a discussion as to the policy of the com ing administration entered into and that Mr. Cleveland would at least have extended the hospitalities of the executive mansion, and I invited his second to remain a day or two. Instead of this but a few moments elapsed after his arrival before his deparlnre, and deny it as he ma}*, he went away very much disgruntled. This is taken to be as very significant on one point, and that is that the mos6backs and bard&bells arc going to have but little influence with the president elect. It is whispered that there will be some grand surprises when the names of those se lected for the cabinet appear. It is whispered that vanity enters largely into Cleveland's composition, and that he has no desire to surround himself with the famous men of the party. With Tburman as secretary of state, nobody would ST. PALL .MI XX. .MONDAY MOKXIXG. DECEMBER B. 1884. think of oar foreign policy as identified with tbe president, it would be Tburtnan. With Randal] at the Lead of the treasury it would be the same, and on through the ; list Cleveland would be eclipsed by the credit .riven to bis counselors, but if on tbe , contrary, he should pick out comparatively new men, that fa to Bay those who bare not obtained a national fame as leaders, be would be tbe bead in fact as well an in name. It Is ! a rather dauccrous resolution for him to take, as it would mean the ignoring of those who ', through many years have stood at the head ! of the party through good and evil report^ and borne the brant of its defeat. Already amocier them the feeling obtains that there is a miscarriage of -vents tbat lifts an obscure and unknown man out of the ranks and placet him at the front, and this would be intensified into the most bitter of sentiments thoaM Cleveland undertake to lay tbtm on the shelf. In any light, Id the Judges opinion, Mr. Cleveland has many grave and serious obstacles in his way. And what, with the Independent* on one hand, tin- mossbackson the other and tbe jealousies of those who were forced to give way to him on the question of avrila oility, he has a very delicate task on band to conduct bis administration to a safe and successful close, and at the same time keep bis party united and intact. Senator I.um.ir Interviewed. Washington, Dec. 7.— Senator Lamar ar rived In tbe city yesterday, Laving been de tained at home by sickness. A representa tive of the Associated Press called on him to djy with the view of obtaiuing an expression of bis views concerning tbe policy of the in coming adtniustration. In reply the senator ■aid in substance: "I think it due to the president-elect that the Democratic party and the country should await with patience and confidence tbe ap pearance of bis inaugural address and the firtt «-..,•. For in those alone I ttink will be shadowed the policy of bis ad ministration. Any expression of opinion meantime can only be Of the most general character, based upon the well known traditions of Democratic government, and upon Governor Cleveland's official course hitherto, which alter wide publicity and discussion has been approved by the people. So far as I may personally venture to express an opinion, I should say Mr. Cleveland as president will undoubtedly iavor scrupulous but not I think parsimoni ous economy in the conduct of the govern ment, and will insist upon the most rigid honesty and accountability on the Dart of public officials." Iv reply to a question as to the probable action of congress with regard to the tariff, Senator Lamar said it was highly improbable tbat an action would be taken on the tariff this session. The next session, however, there would be proposed by the Democrat* such schemes of reduction as need cause no uneasiness whatever in the business com munity. He believed it would be wise for Uh- manufacturers of the country to compro mise with the tariff reformers, and the tariff reformers with the manufacturers upon a reduction of duties to a reve nue standard, with Mich discrimi nations in the arrangement of dctUis in that limit a.- to allord ample protection to American industries. Ucveuue reform and mauuiacturing prosperity ought not to be antagonistic forces. "We are now," said tbe senator, "the foremost manufacturing nation in the world. Our f-iujstrisl system ii so vast, so inti mately biended witn our whole social struc ture, Uial the representatives of the people may surely be trusted to see that no industry shall iiler a shock by reason of legislation." Tuc senator was asked: "How is the elec tion of Cleveland regarded in the south with relation to its probable effects in that sec tion (" "I cannot," said he, "make a better an swer to that question than to refer you to Gen. Gordon's letter recently published. It speaks the sentiment of the whole southern people, especially in its disclaimer of any purpose of sectional aggraudizemcnL In my opinion the election will have a most decisive effect in bringing the south into hearty and cordial relations with the north. Tue southern people do not regard the election a.- a triumph of their section, or of any sec Uon. They simply regard it as indicating a triumph in the nation of the principles of good government. Out of u early live million votes ca&t lor Cleveland more than three million ware cast by the people of the north. Under his administration, therefore, prepon derence of political forces will continue to be northern. The soutu 6imply recognizes in tue result of the election the placing in power, lor Uie .ir>t time since the war, of an admin istration not hostile. One under which tbe people can heartily support and co-operate with the national government, thus bringing her highest interests into more complete identilicalion with those of the nation, and the let-lings of her people into an intense sympathy with those their northern brethren. To make that administration one of which the whole American people may be proud, the people south will contribute every energy head and heart." The senator declined absolutely to be in terrogated on the subject of Cleveland's cab inet. Mysterious Disappearance. WnECLixo, Wa., Dec. 7.— This morning before daybreak Miss Rebecca Stewart left the bouse of her uncle Win. Stewart, and no trace has been found of her. It is supposed that, being temporarily insane she drowned herself in the Ohio river. This afternoon while the river was being dragged as well as the heavy wind and rising river would allow, John McMastcrs was drowned by the upset ting of a skill. He. was boss weighman at tbe Aetna mill, and leaves a family. Miss Stewart was aged forty-five and has been much depressed eincc the recent death of an aunt Only a few clothes were missing from her wardrobe.

Madero was arrested at j Parros last week by soldiers, acting; under I scaled order?, for having in his possession several hundred arms and a supply of am munition, and that he is still in confinement there. Mad-To, for fear of personal harm, has gone to Laredo, Texas. The dispatch also slates that arrests are almost daily made at Saltillo of leaders of the faction opposing the inauguration of Falcon, the federal can didate for governor, who is to take his seat the 15th inst., and that the course of the au thorities is regarded by the conscrraties as more apt to produce than prevent a revolu tion.

The Work Mapped Out for Congress This Week. Washington, Dec 7.— Three measures of Importance are acniioned.'£>libeiy to come up this week for discussion in the senate. On Monday Senator Slater intends to call up the house bill, "To declare the forfeiture of certain lands granted in aid of the construc tion of a railroad in Oregon." known as the Oregon Central railroad bill. On Tuesday Senator Harrison will call up the bill for the admission of southern Dakota as a state. The measure is expected to give rise to considerable discussion, which proba bly will be of a political character. On Thursday Senator Cullom will, if possible, call up the Interstate commerce bill. It is probable the regular order will be tem porarily laid aside early in the week to give Senator Hill an opportunity to make a speech on his "silver" resolution offered last week. In the house Representative Reagan in tends pressing 'lie interstate commerce Mi discussion, which was begun la>t week. It is thought a vote will be taken on this meas ure by Thursday. When the inter-state commerce bill Is out of the way, Representative Hewitt will ask that the bill to carry out tbe provisions of the Mexican reciprocity treaty, reported from the ways and means committee last session, be considered. Representative Payson intends to urge the consideration of his bill to restore to the public domain all lauds held within the In demnity limits for railroad companies. He says tbe passage of this measure by congress would open for settlement under the public land laws more than 120,000,000 acres. The committee on public buildings will make an effort to pass a ; number of bills providing for the erection of public build ings in various cities. A Synopsis of the Bankruptcy Bill. | Special Telegram to the Glebe. | Washington, Dec. 7. The bankruptcy bill passed the senate April 20, ISS4. It was reported back from the house judiciary com mittee and placed upon the calendar March 5. Collins, of the bouse judiciary committee, who has it in charge, moved at the last ses sion to secure a special day for its consider ation, but the motion did not prevail. The following is a synopsis of the bill: The bill as passed constitutes the several district courts of the United States and of the territories, and the supreme court of the District of Columbia, courts of bankruptcy with jurisdiction of all questions of claims, assets, exemption, composition and dis charge. For the purpose of bankruptcy the courts shall be always open, as well in vaca tion as in term time, and when the district Judge from any cause is unable to act the circuit judge may do so. On the application of any person interested the district judge may certify any question of law Involved to the United States circuit court, which is given general superintend ency and jurisdiction of all bankruptcy pro ceedings, and the decision of the circuit court shall not be reviewed by the supreme court of the United States, except upon a certificate of disagreement between the two circuit justices. The circuit court shall ap point within each judicial district such num ber of commissioners in bankruptcy as may be necessary, not exceeding in any state the number of members of congress to which the state is entitled, each commis sioner to give bonds in - the sum of 15.000 v for the faithful performance of his duties.

He shall visit and inspect the office and business of every commissioner and clerk in his circuit as often as once in every six months, and make reports to the circuit court. . The supervisor's compensation is fixed at $3,000 a year. The : commissioner's compensation is fixed at [ $2,000. Tbt.- court mar, however, decree • him a farther allowance, not to exceed $10 (or each case instituted before him during i the rear, bat not more than $7,000 in any one year. The supervisor and commissioner mar be allowed a reasonable sum for disbursements, the items to be verified by oath.

Another Appointment for Fita John Porter. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] New York. Dec. 7. — Mayor Edeon ha.* de cided U* Fppoint as commissioner of public works FiU John Porter, now police commis sioner, in place of Hubert O. Thompson, whose term emlres next Wednesday. The nomination of Commissioner Porter wonld have been sent to the common council Fri day had the mayor been sure of the confirmation of his appointee. The mayor found that there were only ten aldermen whom he could rely upon, and was oblijt .1 to defer the nomination. It will be made Monday if the vote can be secured. The Republican aldermen, with the possible exception of O'Connor, are, it is understood, ready to confirm Porter. The trouble is in the . Tammany ranks, from which it has long been known three alder men have been seduced. The influence brought to bear upon the three 19 understood to be the undivided "boodle for the vote on the Broadway railroad fran chise. The statesman who holds tbfs "boodle" has calmly answered that he will not turn it over until a commissioner of public works, satisfactory to himself, has been named. It may be, therefore, that only a County Democracy man will receive con firmation at the hands of the common coun cil, unless there is some change. A Consultation to be Had. Special Telegram to the Globe. | Washington, Dec. — It is now under stood among the leading Democrats here- that after Cleveland's resignation as governor, such party leaders as lie wishes to consult with will be quietly invited to meet him at Buffalo or Albany,.!* the governor may desig nate, and then their views will be solicited. After that Cleveland will determine upon his cabinet. The suggestion of an Independent going into the cabinet is rarely ever beard these days. Senator Gorman, who is believed lu^uuw more of Cleveland's plans and purposes than any other man in Washington, has expressed the opinion that none but Democrats will be chosen for the cabinet. In the inner Democratic circles it is said that Gorman wants to see Bayard and Garland go into the cabinet. As far as the south is concerned, it now looks as if only two or three of the many men who have been mentioned lor the cabinet from that section will be finally presented to Cleve land. Texas has really abandoned any idea of getting a cabinet honor. It is extremely doubtful If Louisiana offers anybody. Ala bama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee seem to have dropped out, leaving Money, of Missis sippi, Garland of Texas and Barbour of Vir ginia, as the only southern men now seri ously talked of. Congressman Mllllkcn Casting Blame's Horoscope. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Washington, Dec. 7. Congressman Mil liken, of Maine, has been talking in a very interesting manner about Mr. Blame. He says: "Mr. Blame is out of public life now, though of course it cannot be said that popu lar sentiment may not throw him into it again. Mr. Blame has natural instincts for making money, of which fact the public is already convinced. He has a love of litera ture, which will induce him to occupy the most of hit time in literary pur suits. He will go right to work upon the last volume ol his twenty years in congress, and iv his enthusiasm be will forget all about the campaign. When that work is completed he will probably speni some time abroad, and after that be bis an idea of writing books, among which will be a his tory of the war of 1812. These things will keep him busy for the next four years, and by that time he will know what further he will do." Mr. Milliken will not attempt to cast Mr. Blame's horoscope beyond the year 18SS. Mr. Milliken then presents Mr. Blame to the public as an unsophisticated person, intel lectual, brilliant, but like so many great authors, unacquainted with practical politics. He says that the public has an erroneous idea that Mr. Blame is a politician. This, he says, Is far from a fact. Mr. Blame is a good worker and a brilliant man, no matter what be is doing, but he is no politician. This, be says, was amply demonstrated throughout the campaign. He showed the ability of an orator and a states man, but never the shrewdness of a politi cian. There were several things suggested to him which would have secured his election bad they been acted upon, he ' paid no attention to them, and left all to the com mittee. One of these things was to go to Mr. Arthur ank secure the earnest and active sup port of the administration. Another thing was St. John. He should have been bought off.if it took half the money in the campaign treasury. Then John Kelly should have been fixed. This last could have been easily effected if the administration had taken the matter in band. Mr. Blame, in the act of going to "that man Arthur" and begging his help, would have been almost is picturesque as the spec tacle of the administration, that is Mr Arthur, matin? a deal with John Kelly la Mr. Elaine's interest. It does not occur to Mr. Mlliiken that the prohibition element con Id not have been eliminated from the canvass had money enough been put up. Mexican Reciprocity. [Special Te'.eirram to the Globe. 1 mngtox, Dec. 7— There will be a bitter fl*bt in the house of representatives ajainst the proposed legislation to carry out the Mexican reciprocity treaty. Some of the strongest men of that body, iucluding promi nent tariff reformers, are opposed to the treaty, and steps have been taken to form a combination against it. A conference will take place to-morrow between Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Eliis, of Louisiana, and three or four other Democratic leaders, at which the question will be discussed. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, is earnestly in favor of the treaty, and a bill framed by him will probably be the basis of the necessary sup plementary legislation to make " th ■• treaty effective, or there will be no such legislation. Messrs. Blount, of Georgia, Herbert, of Alabama, and Mills, of Texas, are reckoned among those whoacree with Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Ellis in opposition to the treaty, and there is reason to believe that Mr. Tucker and Mr. Morrison will also oppose. It will be opposed on the ground that the treaty is in the interest of certain classes, and aimed at two great staple production of the southern states, sugar and tobacco, it Is objected to by some of the revenue reformers upon the ground that when the tariff question is taken up the revision should be general, and not by piece! Rival. RAILROAD MEETING. The Work of the Passenger Agents Assembled in Chicago Saturday. [Special Telegram to the Globe. I Chicago, Dec. 7 — The general passenger agents of the Missouri river lines continued their meeting yesterday at the Lake Side building. The time was occupied in arrang ing the details of the new agreement An adjournment was taken until Tuesday, when the consideration of the Council Bluffs rate will be resumed. The Rock Island people, it is understood, expect to maintain firmly the purpose to make the Council Bluffs local rate i $12.&2 i the same as the Kansas City rate. They will also urge the adoption of the same rate to St. Paul, where now $14 is charged. It is believed that the other lines will see the wisdom of establishing similar rates for simi lar distances, and thus put Kansas City, j Council Bluffs, and Si. Paul rates from Chicago ' upon the same footing. Other matters of interest will come before the meeting, inclu ding a disposition of the proposition made by the wholesale jewelers regarding sample trunks as baggage. J. 11. Hiland, to whom was offered the po sition of referree and the arbitrator of the new compact, is still considering the matter. The committee's proposition embodied an offer of a very slight increase on his present ; salary. Mr. Hiland was given j to understand that recent experience ; in two cases had shown it to be contrary to the common good of the railroads to offer an official for such a position a salary much 1 higher than that received from the road em pioylng him. It invariably resulted in the road being compelled to increase his salary in order to retain him. This was a sufficient ! hint to Mr. Hiland to make the proposition ■■ himself, which he did. This is now being considered by the committee. DANCING. ~ PROF. K. H. EVANS' School for flao<M, SHERMAN HALL. Office hours, Room 1, from Si to 9p. m. Private Lessons a specialty.
