President Cleveland's first New Year'
ftcentlon will lie a memorable one to all
wbo attended It. The birthday of 1886
wii as bright and mild here as May. The
mo .t perfect New Year's day ever known
1 Washington" was the usual commeni
The I'realdent pleawd everybody with his
ni vmul luinior. He wore a
VUIUIUII fiv -
Prince Albert coat, black necktie and
standing collar, but no white kid gloves
no gloves of any kind. He showed
htlgue over his ta.sk of four hours ot Hand-
baking, and after the ofllcial reception
had closed, and the public was pasnlnir
through the parlors, I noticed that he
grasped the hand of the drayman or the
colored brother as respectfully and klwliy
as he had that of (Jueen Victoria's repre
sentative. There was no marked degree of nlmplic
ity at the reception, but on the contrary, it
was a very brilliant and delightful affair
It was quite as imposing as any of its pre
deceHttnrs, and in point of some details for
the comfort and convenience of all, it was
an lmjsrovement upon them.
Half an hour before the reception tiegan,
the Marine Dand, which furnishes the mu
slo f jr State occasions, was stationed In the
large vestibule, with its music stands and
polished Instruments. The newspaper cor
respondents also were there early, strolling
through the State apartments and noting
the decorations. The parlors were frag
rant with flowers and lighted with bun
dreds of gas jets. The chandeliers were
festooned with garlands of smllax, there
were baskets of cut flowers on the tables,
and potted flowers and.troplcal plants were
grouped upon the mantels and window
Ills, and massed in n.xiks and corners.
When the band struck up "Hall to the
Chief," the receiving party descended'
slowly to the Blue Iioom, and took their
positions in line. Mrs. Hayard came down
leaning on the Prenldent's arm. Miss
Cleveland was attended by Secretary Hay
ard. Secretaries Manning, Whitney, Enili
cott, anil Postmaster-General Vilas, oaine
with the other Cabinet ladies. These gen
tlemen, excepting Mr. I'ayard, retired to
the rear of the Illtie I loom, where they re
mained mowt of the time during tLe recep
tion, looking on the procession of callers,
and chatting in groups with the young la
dles by whom they wore joined. Among
them were noticed the Misses Tllden,
nelcos of Samuel J.Tilden, who are guests
of Secretary Manuing.
The Secretary of State took a position at
the left of the President, and Introduced to
him the Diplomatic corpse (corps), For,
bear In mind, diplomacy Is n mummy of
put ages and of effete systems of polity.
It has no legitimate place in this day of
printing presses, telegraphs, and ocean
cables, when King and Cabinets and
Presidents learn state secrets from the
newspapers long before they are matured
la their ow " councils. Why does not civil
latlon shi ie oil this fine, old, antique, use
less and expensive heritage?
The foreigners had congregated In the
Ued parlor and were ready for reception.
Portugal, Italy, Kngland, France, llelglum,
Chin, Austria, Mexico, Kussla, Switzer
land, Turkey, Spain, Peru. (Jermany, the
U. 8. Columbia, Japan, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, the Netherlands, Ecuador and
Venezuela were represented and said
"Happy New Year" and good wishes to
the President in broken English and
French. Some of the diplomats came to
the White House In coronetod carriages,
and many were in special court attire, with
a profusion of gold lace and sashes and
badges and fctara and crosses ujxm their
padded chests.
They passed on to the grsat Fast Room,
where they lingered awhile, being rein
forced by the Supreme Court, Senators and
Ileprentatlves, various other high olU
dais and an lmMv,Ing array of Army and
Navy officers, three hundred strong, In
their full uniforms, with their gold braid
and fringe and epaulettes. The room fur
nished an open field for the display of all
this brightness and greatness. It was a
Congress of Nations, and a scene at once
variegated, interesting and brilliant.
But I have not told you how the ladle
were dressed, or how they bowed ana
lulled to their New Year callers. No, 1
will not descend to anything so frivolous as
tiolffurw, laces and trains. Let It buAIca to
say that the President's assistant receivers
were gracious In manner and au fait of at
tire, and that the social debut of the new
Administration was satisfactory to its
IrlethJri.

Washinoton, Jan. Uth, 180.
While congress has done nothing start
ling since It reassembled, almost every
thing that has occurred on Capitol Hill
during the week has been traught with
Interest and importance. The senate has
dUcussed and voted against the Mormons,
ad incidentally against Woman Suffrage.
Steps were taken towards over hauling the
street railways of Washington as well as
the V. S. Pension ofllce, and the congrei
iooal record was embellished with consid
erable eloquence on silver coinage. Sena
tor Beck exonerated himself from his
recent alleged antagonism to the I'realdent
About one thousand new bills were Intro
duced In the house and the speaker com
Dieted the organization of that Itody by for-
mally announcing wiu-re r w
assigned his 323 men on bis forty eight
committees.
There Is no more thnn the usual amount of
dissatisfaction among members on account
of their positions on the committees. In
deed I think there was less complaint than
was expected, and the general ven lct of
those who have no personal Interests in the
great questions with which these commit
tees are to deal, is that Speaker Carlisle
has arranged them with wisdom and fair
ness. Thero are so many new memlers In the
present house, that their assignments had
to be made somewhat blindly, as their
special abilities had not been tested. But
the Speaker profited by his experience in
the forty eighth congress in placing the
old members with a view to their qualifica
tions. The more prominent committees
which have the most Important work to do
are strong.
With each congress the task of organiz
ing the house is becoming a more delicate
and burdensome one. The question lias
been raised w hether the labor bhould any
longer throw n upon one man.
Both branches of congress are now ready
for real work, any amount of which is
waiting lor them. It is thought the session
will continue until August. About three
thousand bills have been presented in the
house alone. Among those that have been
Introduced in the senate Is one demanding
lunger sessions of congress, so that the
country can have more wnrk for the Mime
money. The sessions ought to be continu
ous, with only such short recesses as other
business men take trom their labors. 1 he
pay of congressmen goes on whether they
are In session or not. While it Is n very
agreeable arrangement i them for con
gress to sit only ten or eleven months out
of the twenty four, public business suffers
neglect.
The list of bills with which congress is
fli xided furnishes undeniable proof of
American inventive genijs. No possible
subject of legislation has been slighted.
Among them are many old timers that
come up and die out with every new con
gress. One bill asks that for the remain
der of her life tin widow of Gen. Grant
may correspond with her friends and that
her Iriends may correspond with her w ith
out paying ostage. 1 he most popular
measure is one lor the establishment of
Agricultural Experiment Stations. Nearly
all the members from rural districts have
Introduced It In one form or another.
Alsiut a dozen Civil Service bills have
been presented and a new bill asks for the
establishment of a National University
here. It provides Instruction In the high
er branches of all departments of knowl
edge, with facilities for research Hiid
investigation. Space forbids me to give
the full terms of the bill, but I will state
that the government of the institution is to
be vested In a Board of Regents, consisting
,f one member from each state of the Un
Ion, to be appointed by the Governor.
Each state and territory shall be entitled
to scholarships in the ratio of one for each
Representative or Delegate and two for
each Senator. These scholarships shall
secure free Instruction for five years.
The Republicans in both branches of
congress are after the Pension Olllce and
the senate has passed a resolution for an
Investigation of its management, past and
present. They complain that Commis
sioner Black does not treat them with suffi
cient deference when they call on business ;
and they have to do something in retalia
tion against the recent charges, In Gen.

County Superintendent Stockdale recent
iy suggested to school directors that the
district supply pupils with pens, pencils,
chalk, Ac. ; and State Superintendent Raab,
in the following language, fully endorses
the suggestion : "I take It for granted that
school directors appreciate fully the neces
sity of supplying the school room with suf
ficient blacklsiards, and that they have
these repaired from time to tiuio. For Illus
trating the lessons and for many other pur
poses good blacklmards are Indispensable.
The supplies w hich the directors should
furnish for the use of the pupils are chalk,
crayons, erasers, slato pencils, pens and
penholders, Ink, (and paper to be used in
the examination). When these articles are
purchased at the expense of the district the
cost per pupil for the yenr need not exceed
30 cents. At this small outlay the results
btalned In the school work will be far b?t
ter than those when each pupil purchases
his own supplies, and the expense will on
ly bo about one-fourth as much."

The transfer of the sub treasury in New
York to the successor of Thomas C. Acton
will make necessary a complete count of
the many millions of cash in the vaults of
the building. The custom In the past has
been for the treasury department to appoint
a special com-j.ittee of three government
exerts to conduct the count, which neces
sarily consumes three or four weeks of
time. The mere manual labor of handling
the vast quantity of coin in the vaults is
very tedious. Mr. Acton w ill hand over to
his successor aliout $ lSij.OOO.nmi, of which
more than fSO.OOO.OtiO i3 in coin and
:l?,00() 00 Is In silver coin. " Each bag of
gold coin contains f ,000, and each bag of
silver $1,000. Consequently there are 16
000 bags of gold and ;57,O0O bags of silver
to be handled. Each bag must lie weighed
and those that van' from the required
standard are put aside and their contents
counted piece by piece. The gold and sil
ver certificates, greenbacks and national
bank notes must be counted note by note.
This Is a comparatively easy task for per
sons who are In the hatiit of counting large
sums of money. Deputy Assistant Treas
urer William Sherer has been known to
count paper money at the rate of 1,000
notes in six minutes. It U stated that
there are women in the treasury at Wash

THE HAPriSESS Or ILYS1TJM.
Elysium was the name pivrn ' t' rn
cient Greeks to the resting pi;. e
righteous dead, where tiny fchouid my
eternal peace and happiness. None but
the pure in heart, the truthful and the gen
erous could tread the asphodel meadows of
of the Elysiun nelds and it was a l in I of
everlasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs.
Kate Sherman, of Streator, HI., said re
cently that she had been in I'.lyaium,
though of course she spoke figuratively, it
argued that some great good fortune and
joy had come to her. And such, indeed,
was the truth. Mrs. Sherman tells how it
was iu this way:
"I have suffered from inflammatory
rheumatism for more than thirty years.
Heretofore the pain would succumb to the
application of hot wet flannel, but ot my
htat attack circumstances had conspired to
aggravate the disease, and 1 became help
leas. My hands and feet were swollen
enormously, and I suffered almost mortal
agony. My physician brought me a bot
tle of Athlophoros. After taking the
third dose I was in Elysium, and was free
from pain. By the tune 1 had taken a
bottle and a half 1 felt so wonderfully ini-
i roved that I discontinued the medicine,
have an ungovernabledislike to all med
icine, but I will say that Athlophoros prob
ably saved my life, as 1 was running down
rapidly, and could not have emlmed iho
pain much longer. It atlbrded me the
only relief I ever experienced except from
hot w ater, and that hud failed me."
The Rev. Samuel Porter, of Crete, III.,
snys of tho elici t of Athlophoros upon his
wife:
" Mrs. Porter was very much benefited
by the first bottle. Before she romiiirnccd
taking it she could not walk, she w as so
badly afflicted with rheumatism, hut she
was soon able to walk. She sleeps well.
Mr. John Hews, our neighbor, was very
badly offwith the rheumatism last winter,
and was not able to work or even to get out
of his room. One bottle of Athlophoros
cured him, but he has to keep it by liiin to
take when he feels his old difficulties."
Another clergyman, the Rev. C. Hart
ley, of Huntley, 111., gives this as his ex
perience with the remedy:
"For six months I suffered severely
from an attack of rheumatism. A frit-nil
sent me a notice of several reliable cures
elle'-ted. by Athlophoros. I procured the
medicine, and less than one bottle com-
filetely cured mo, and I have not had the
east indication of a return of the painful
disease. I have recommended it to others
and results similar to those in my own
case have followed. 1 regard Athlophoros
as invaluable."
A. M. Blaknev, who lives at theenrnerof
Union ami Green streets, Decatur, III.,
only confirms the general testimony to the
value of Athlophoros when he says:
" During the past winter I was stricken
with a very severe attack of rheumatism
a disease with which I had been afflicted
for several years and was rendered almost
helpless, and confined to my bed. I tried
various medicines, and was presrriled fur
by physicians with no avail. Finally 1
was induced by my druggist to try Athlo
phoros. I was relieved and cured so
quickly that words could not tell my sur
prise. I do not hesitate in recommending
it to any one suffering with that most pain
ful complaint, rheumatism."

Catarrh Cured
Catarrh Is a very prevalent disease, with
distressing and effensivo symptoms. Hood's
Sarsaparilla give ready relief and speedy
cure, from the fact It acts through tho blood,
and thus reaches every part of tho system.
" I suffered with catarrh fifteen years. Took
Hood's Sarsaparllla and tarn not troubled any
with catarrh, and my general health is much
better." I. W. Lillib, Postal Clerk Chicago
& St. Louis lUilroad.
" I suffered with catarrh 6 or 8 years ; tried
many wonderful cures. Inhalers, etc., spend
ing nearly one hundred dollars without benefit.
I tried Hood's SarsaparilU, and was greatly
improved." M. A. Abbey, Worcester, Mass.
Hood's Sarsaparllla Is characterized bjr
three peculiarities I 1st, the combination of
remedial agents ; 2d, the proportion; 3d, the
process ol securing the activo medicinal
qualities. The result Is a mediclno of unusual
