Grover Cleveland's Place in the Centen nial Pageant-The President as Was is Greater than the President as Is. (From the New York Times, Editorial.] Mr. Cleveland has played a very modest part in the ceremonies of the Centennial, and has assumed it with entire modesty, but he cannot but feel that there is a strong feeling of affec tionate admiration for him in the hearts of the people. The cheers that have greeted him wherever ne has been called to appear have been cordial and spontaneous, and at the banquet last evening the enthusiasm that broke 'forth when he arose was more general and emphatic than that which greeted any other of the eminent men present. His speech in response to the toast Our People" was marked by his char acteristic sobriety and elevation of th nd was a manly expression foun ~nfdene in popular government. If his reception has been inevitably compared with that given to the actual President, we do not see that the people are to blame, or Mr. Cleve land either. CHEERS FOR CLEVELAND. CFrom the New York Times.] The cheers which greeted President Harrison and those which greeted Grover Cleveland as the line of carri ages coming from the sub-treasury ex ercises rolled out of Pine street into Broadway, came in for a good deal of dissection and analysis from some of those in the crowd. The Harrison cheer, at this point of the parade at least, seemed to be held in check, perhaps by curicsity to see the new President. The people seemed to be occupied altogether with looking at Mr. Harrison. Probably not one in fifty of those whose eyes were bent upon his carriage could recall any one of the other three faces in it. After it had passed they could tell you just how the President wore his whiskers, just hcw he lifted his hat, and just what sort of an expression there was upon his face. They might also have com nented' that there was not much change in his expression, and that he rarely smiled. The applause they gave him was more than a polite patter. It was made up of a modest hurrah, a pattering of women's hands, and a graceful fluttering of handkerchiefs. A few other carriages rolled along, And then came the one in which sat E:-President Cleveland and Ex-Presi at about 5 o'cl Here's Cleve 0on. Mr. A.

[New York Letter in the Philadelphia Times.] When the '7th regiment came along Cleveland clapped his hands. Then the New Yorkers let loose their lungs and such yelling was never heard on 5th avenue before. [From the New York Herald.] Ex-President Cleveland's speech pro duced a sensation, not so much because of the matter that it contained, though that far surpassed expectations, but for the manner of its delivery. Nearly everybody knew that he could write a good speech; few were aware that he could deliver one well. He acquitted himself more than weil; his delivery was admirable. Chauncey M. Depew, Stephen B. Elkins and other good judges of after dinner oratory gazed at him with astonishment and applauded him with genuine heartiness. His voice, clear and sonorous, was heard all over the great hail. He spoke slowly and with perfect distinction of articula tion. The toast assigned to him was -"The People of the United States." at. LFrom the New York Star.] An opportunity occurred at the ball to test the President's popularity very thoroughly. When he entered the hall in company with the mayor the clap ning of hands could scarcely be heard. An hour later Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland came d'wn from their box on to the floor. The whole assemblage sent up a shout that was perfectly spontaueous, and seemed strangely out of place in a ball room. The contrast was the more striking because Mr. Cleveland was a President whose endeavor always seemed to be to win the respect of the people rather than their affection. Com pared with Gen. Harrison, however, his popularity is something astonishing. EVERYBODY LOVES HER - GROVER CLEVELAD'S BEAUTIFUL WIFE AT THE CENTENNIAL. [From the New York Times.] A glowing tribute was paid to Mrs. Frances Folson Cleveland at the Cen tennial ball Monday night. It was at the very height of the festival. The Presidential party had. marched up through the great Metropolitan Opera House between two ranks of gayly-uni formed artillerymen. The opening quadrllle had been danced, the ranks of the artillerymen broken, and the crowd thronged the entire dancing surface. The Presidential party had just left the State boxes for the supper room. But a minute or two afterward a com motion was heard in the stage end of the Opera House, and then began cheer ing, hand clapping, and the waving of handkerchiefs. Judge Howland had left his box near the stage, and, with Mrs. Cleveland on his arm, was starting for the Broadway exit. Instinctively the crowd fell back, opening the lane through the centre which the artillery men had previously formed and guarded. As. Mrs. Cleveland passed through there was a continuous ova tion. She seemed not in the least em barrassed; but walked gracefully through the applauding crowd, look ing pleasantly on both sides, as though she were but one of those who were do ing honor and not the one to- whom honor wa~ being done. Of all the attractive features of the great parade none was prettier than the chivalrous salutes of the marching sol diers to Mrs. Cleveland, who viewed the procession from her home at the Victoria Hotel. Regiment after regi ment acknowledged this appreciation of her presence. One Pennsylvania command came to halt, and so, formal ly, did the fair lady the honor of a full military salute, while the Lousiana men not only did all this, but, giving enthusiasm full swing, followed their wldier's salute with ringing huzzas, which the great crowds in the vicinity took up and prolonged lustily. [From theNew York Herald.] One of the prettiest among many pretty incidents of the day was during i halt when one of the South Carolina companies was passing the Victoria otel. Mrs. Grover Cleveland, in a liget gray gown with a fur cape about her shoul Elers, sat on the small balcony on the :orner, with Mr's. Lamont, all through the morning. Mr. Cleveland had joined her once or twice, but his pres ence made the crowd cheer so that he ~as obliged to go indoors, and with the 3mont baby viewed the last half of Sparade from the side window on ~i street. Preiwas about half-past 3 when the iredlina Zouaves this is evidently a re ake for the Louisiana Zouavesi ms-4 along and halted at 27th street. resentide hurrIed through the crowd The 'he hotel and up-stairs ond pre .sts af a huge bouquet to Mrs. Cleve oprf while the Zouaves left-wheeled Ex'presenited arms. Mrs. Cleveland ill-delighted and the crowd yelled it %'If hoarse. Another bit of good human nature worthb recording occurred at the Knick erbocker Club, where a stand had been built for the exclusive use of members. Most of the members were looking after families at home, and at the stand was nearly empty. A member of the Good Samaritan committee went then into the dense crowd and brought all the women and children in that the stand would accommodate. A t least two-hun dred were comfortably seated in this way, and the sight of poorly clad wo men and babies passing through the rooms of the most exclusive club in town did one's eye good and made the waiter's stare. [From the New York Tribune.1 The popular demonstration of in terest in Mrs. Cleveland at the Opera House on Monday night was a pleasant episode of the ball, and must have been a grateful, if somewhat embarrassing, tribute to that charming woman. [From the New Y6rk World.] Although Mrs. Cleveland is out of office, so to speak, it is evident that she is still to be a factor in politics and society. At the Centennial ball on Monday night she was the recipient of much attention. When she departed from the ball room she received more consideration than the Harrisons. The ladies rose en masse and threw their ouquets in front of her and around her. She literally left the ball upon a roadway of flowers. This was woman's impulsive tribute to womanly grace. But then the men all cheered too. Is it a wonder that Mr. Cleveland still regards himself as a candidate for President with a star of destiny hang ing just above his bald head ?

Some Very Distktively Southern Features at the Great Show. [From the New York Tribune.] It was a fact worthy of special men tion that of the cheers along the line of march none were heartier than those given as the Governors of Southern States rode by In this celebration of the real birthday of this great and united nation the North and the South, the boys in b.ue and those who wore the grey, are one. [From the New York Herald.] The regular troops marched well and received a very large part of the gen erous applause of the day. The navy and marines were not forgotten. This was as might have been expected. But when the Southern troops swung along the greeting was not only gen erous, it was spontaneous. The Mary land contingent, with its band playing "My Maryland," was received with a warmth that awake the sentiment of all who heard and looked. Line after line of the blue and grey intermingled, "Dixie" and "Yankee Doodle" swell ing the grand chorus, until the lookers on became frantic and showered what ever they had on the moving ranks of their hands and threw handkerchiefs and bits of ribbons ; men tossed cigars, oranges, sandwiches and several bot tles of wine. [From the New York Tribune.] Few regiments of its size attracted more attention than did the South Carolina battalion, commanded by Brig Gen. R. N. Richbourg, Major W. A. Metts,~adjutant general; second in com mand. The men formed in line in Stone street, by the Produce Exchange building. The battalion is made up of several companies all having dis tinctive uniforms, flags and badges. The Washbmgtn Lightlnfantry, one of the oldest military organizations in America, led, and acted as a' guard to the famous Revolutionary Eutaw flag, the only one now existing A large number of bullet holes and a sabre cut are sewed with yellow silk, which on the blue field has a curious but interesting effect. Henry Tovey, a veteran of the war, carries the flag and revels in the original title of "South Carolina's only private." The organizatons present were the Governor's Guards, commanded by Capt Wilie Jones ; Washington Light Infantry, commanded by Major R. C. Gilchrist; the Marion Rifles, com manded by Cap. Pierre Wilcox, the Richland Volunteers, Capt Charles Newnham ; the Morgan Rifles, Capt B. C. Jennings; Butler Guards, Capt E. Bacon ; the Lee Light Infantry, Capt G. D. Heath. The regiment numbered only 350 men. At 10.30 a. n. Governor J. P. Richardson, of the "Palmetto State,"' arrived in an open carriage with his aides, and was greeted with a "wild rebel yell" which startled several Union veterans, who at once proceeded to make friends with their anc'ent foes. Capt W. V. Byrne, of the 12th regi ment of South Carolina during the late wvar, took from his breast a handsome bronzed badge and pinned it among the many other medals which deco rated the Governor. The adjutant general, Major W. A. Metts, received a slight injury to his right leg and a few bruises by his horse slipping on a car track and falling on him. The Ouestion Answered. Somebody-a woman of cou rse-in-~ quires why, when Eve was manu factured from the spare rip, a servant wasn't made at the samne time to- wait on her? Somebody else-a woman, we imagine-replies in the following strain: Because Adam never came whining to Eve with a ragged stocking to be darned, a collar to be sewed on, or a glove to mend "right away, quick now." Because he never read the newspapers until the sun got down be hind the palm trees, and then, stretch ing himself 'out, yawned out "ain't supper most ready, my dear?" Not he. He made the fire, and hung the kettle over it himself, we'll venture; and pulled the radishes, peeled the pota' toes, and did everything else he ought to. He milked the cows fed chickens, and looked after the chickens himself. He never brought home half a dozan friends to dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates, and the mango season was over. He never stayed out till 11 o'clock to a ward meeting, hur rahing for an out and out candidate, and then scolded because poor Eve was sitting up and crying inside the gates. He never played billards, rolled ten pins, and drove fast horses, nor choked Eve with tobacco smoke. He never loafed around corner groceries while Eve was rocking little Cain' s cradle at home. In short, he did Inot think she was especially created for the purpose of waiting on him, and was not under the impression that it disgraced a man to lighten a woman's cares a little. That is the reason that Eve did not need a hired girl; and with it was the reason that her fair descendan ts did., Death of a Prominent Milnister. HAnnfisoxNGn, Va., April 25.-The Rev. L. C.

He wvas one of the most eloquent preachers in; the South. A QUEER WEDDING IN ATLANTA. Mr. Simon, of the Gaffnev City Lime Works, Married to Miss Lumsden-The Bride groom Said to be Insane. [Atlanta Journal, April 30.] There was a marriage performed at the residence of Dr. Fannie M. Ickes, 2 Wheat Street, last night. The groom is Mr. Moses Simon, a wealthy Jew from Gaffney City, S. C. The bri'c was Miss Mattie Lumsden, also o! South Carolina, and a relative of Gen. Wade Hampton. Taken altogether, the marriage was one of the strangcst (ceremonies ever performed in the city, as the groom had been locked up at the station house nearly all day on the charge of lunacy. Several weeks ago Miss Mattie Luns den, of South Carolina, came to Atlan ta to spend some time with Dr. Fannie Ickes. Miss Lumsden is a lady of many at tractions and is related to same of the best people in South Caro!ina, among thAn General Hampton. Soon after she arrived in the city she had a caller, whom she introduced as Mr. Moses Simon, of Gaffney City, South Carolina. Mr. Simon is a Jew, about forty-five years of age, and with his brother owns a very valuable lime kitn a..d oilier property in South Carolina. He is reputed to be quite wealty. He seemed to be devoted to Miss Lumsden, but it did not take long for the boarders at the house -to see t hat something was wrong with the smitten Jew. He talked very wildly and surprised them by declaring that he could easily walk a mile in one minute. They laughed at him, which enraged him, and he vehemently asserted that he had often walked ten miles in ten minutes, and knew he could walk twenty-five miles in twenty-five rmin u tes. He tried to prove this by Miss Mattie, but she would not corroborate his wild statements. Yesterday morning Mr. Simons' bro ther arrived in the city from South Carolina. He found where his brother was stopping, and then went at once to Chief Connolly and asked that the brother be arrested, saying he was crazy and had run away from home. Patrolman Newt. Holland arrested Moses, and all the morning he was kept under guard at the station houss. In the afternoon his brother called to see him, and after talking with him, asked Chief Connolly to release him, saying lie had promised to go home without an officer. The chief ordered the man rele.ised and he departed with his brother. Miss Lumsden informed her friends laat night that she had made all her arrangements to marry Mr. Simon. At the appointed hour Rabbi May arris.ed at the house with the groom. Mr. Simon and Miss Lumsden stood up before the rabbi, who held a He. brew book in one hand and a glass oi wine in the other. After he bad read the ceremony in Hebrew he passed the wine to Mr. Si mon, who tasted it and then passed it to Miss Lumsden. After she had tasted it she returned it to the rabbi. He pronounced a blessing upon the couple, after which Mr. Sinm.n kissed his wife. Immediately afterwards he rushed around the room .shaking hands with every one and exclainiing: "God bless you! God bless you! Hie's blessed me and I want Him to bless you." The couple will return to South Caro lina this afternoon. Miss Lumsnden's friends say that her husband's brother trumped up the charge of lunacy to keep him from marrying her. Cost of a Bushel of Wheat. An expert in grain-growing has fig. ured out that the average cost of rais ing a bushel of wheat in Michigan for the last five years is about 70 cents. With wheat at $1.00 there is a profit for the producer, middlemen, and com mission brokers of 30 cents. The share of this that falls to the farmer is not easy to ascertain, but it is estimated te range between 10 and 13 cents. When there is a speculative value on wheat the profits to middlemen are propor tionately ircreased, while the farmer realizes but a slight advantage. Say a Western contemporary; "If what can be produced for 70 cents, its market price should never go above $1.00. When it gets beyond that the consumer is lining the pockets of the speculator with ill-gotten wealth." Prices of wheat for the immediate future are un certain, but on the assumption that the acreage and yield are fully up to the average another corner is not re garded as within the range of pro bability. One of the methods em ployed to prepare the country for an advance is to systematically and per sistently misrepresent the condition of the crops and the possible yield. When this part of the scheme has been suc cessfully worked, money and nerve will accomplish the rest. The recent scare seems to have had no more reli Able basis than reports of short crops in one or two States, while in several of the largest wheat-producing States the yield was up to the average. A Cure or No Pay is guaranteed to those who use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for catarrh in the head, or for bronchial om throat affections, or consumptiorn (which is lung scrofula) if taken in time and given a fair trial.

Harrison showed repeatedly i the course of his remarkable series < camphign speeches his power of fore be and epigrammatic utterance. On of his most famous sayings, which hE already passed intoa proverb; was the about students of maxims and studeni of markets. President Harrison ha not forgotten the art. In his brief bt aamirable address in Wall street ye. terday he touched with a single strol an event of which the whole world ha been talking for the past week-tb rescue of the Danmark's passengers and his characterization leaves -notl ing to be added or taken away. Wha could be finer than the single sentenc in which the President of the Unite States paid tribute to the gallant cai tainaof the Missouri? Here it is, and i deserves to be studied and remembere "The captain who gives to the sea h cargo of rags that he may give safet and deliverance to his imperilled fe low-men has fame; he who lands tb cargo has only wages." [From the Philadelphia Record.] Nobody has ever accused Presider Harrison of being a marked success a a public;, orator; yet his experiene should at the least have enabled hir to guard against such an awkwar anti-climax as the likening of Wast ington to "t' captain who goes to se and throws r ';rboard his cargo of rag that he may gain safety and delive: ance for his imperiled fellow-men.

By making his inaugt ration centenary speech one minute i length;stea.a Ir. Harriso might have spared the public th-ea altogether agreeable experience of seE ing the honored name of the Father ( his Country associated in print with "cargo of rags." Even an eloquer burst of silence would have been be1 ter than this. The People and The Trust. [Atlanta Constitution.] The thoughtful notes of warnin sounded by the religious press will d much in the way of antagonizing th people and the trusts. The secula newspapers have denounced the trusi because' they are contrary to publi policy, but our religious contemporarit boldly oppose them because they al wicked combinations held together b they inordinate greed of gain. This broad way of characterizing th monster evil of the age will strike th mrasses where an elaborate argumet would f,ail. In a strong editorial on th subject the St. Louis Christian Adv; cate charges the trusts with grindin the faces of the poor and increasin their poverty and suffering. Ot cotemporary says; "This, of course, leads to count< organizations; and societies, unions an comrbi nations under different name are being formed all over the countra as an offset against the other; and settled antagonism between capital o the onc hand and labor on the oth< has been forced, when in fact no sue real antagonism exists. It is all fa< titious, and the result is, one party treated with silent scorn and the oth< with envy and hate. All this is wroni It overslaughs individualism, lea. men to act in herds, lessens the sense< individual responsibility, dwarfs mai hood and tends ultimately to the di: ruption of society. It is best for ever man to choose his own pursuits in lifi follow that which is best adopted I his taste and capacities, work at wb: he will when he will, and at whi price he will, so long as he does n< interfere with the rights and privileg4 of others; then if he succeeds the succes is his own, and if he fails the fault< misfortune is his and not another's.'' Nothing could be truer than thei well-considered words. Already we s4 the effect of those organizations. The tendency is to array class against clasi and finally to stir up strife between tb classes and the masses. But we do not believe that sixty mi lions of the freest and most independer peop)le on the face of the earth will pe mit combinations of such men to cor spire against them and oppress thet long. After all, in this country, a power resides in the people. Sometim< they are slow to exercise it, but whe their wrath is excited, and they mov together nothing can stand ini thel way.

He was no longer the mer d. historian; he was about to become th al censor and preceptor. It mattered no 1g apparently to him that a Presiden of and ex-Presidents were those whon ed his sense of duty called upon him t he rebuke. Without a moment's hesits is tion he jumped to thezharge. Here i et what he said: a, "A generation which vaunts it 3h descent from the founders of the Re be public.seems largely to bejn .dauger forgetting their preeminent - distine tion. They were fa+ 'in -nmber they were poor in worldly possession as -the sum of the fortune of the riches among them would afford a fine them :h for the scorn of the plutocrat of to-day ;is but they had an invincible confidene .o- in the truth of those principles in whic] the foundations of the Republic har w been laid, and they had an unselfisl as purpose to maintain them. The con ception of the national governments a a hugh machine, existing mainly fo x the purpose of rewarding partisan set le vice-this was a conception so alien t - the character and conduct of Washing rd ton and his associates that it seem in grotesque even to speak of it. It woult be interesting to imagine the firs President of the United States con n- fronted with some one who had ven et tured to approach him upon the basi of what are now commonly knowu a e "practical politics." But the concep e. tion is impossible. The loathing, th to outraged majesty with which he woul< ie have bidden such a creature to begon ts is foreshadowed by the gentle dignit, r? with which, just before his inaugura id tion, replying to one who had th o- strongest claims upon his friendship ts and who had applied to him during th e- progress of the"Presidental campaign, id as we should say, for the promise a d .an. xppointment to office, he wrotE "In tof uiing upon the more ,deIi i ot part of your letter, m nicatioi to of which fills me with real concern, r. will deal with you with all that frani is ness which is due to friendship, an which I wish should be a characteristi feature of my conduct through lifi , * * * Should .it be my fate to ac vs minister the Government I will go t n- the Chair under no pre-engagement c er any kind or nature whatever.

Vain and irioportent et ~y. deavor! it is as though. out of tI to lineaments of living m'en we would fai re- .produce another Washington. Vi ist .may disinter the vanished draperie he we may revive the stately minuet, v ye may rehabilitate the old scenes, ht tat the march of a century cannot I ug halted or reversed, and the enormot I a change in the situation can neither I )e- disguised nor ignored. Then we wer< nd though not all of us sprung from or' es, nationality, practically one people t8, Now, that steadily deteriorating pri he cess against whose dangers a grei n- thinker of our own generation warne on his countrymen just fifty years aga 3e- goes on every hand, apace. "The cor re- stant importation," wrote the auth< ng of "The WVeal of Nations," "as nowr tat this country, of the lowest orders< vn people from abroad to dilute the qua] ;er ty of our natural manhood, is a sad an ed beggarly prostitution of the noblest gi It ever conferred on a people. Who shas te respect a people who do not respe ed their own blood! A.nd now shall a N. ae, tional spirit, or any determinate an tce proportionate character, arise out of >a many low bred associations and coarsi grained temperaments, imported frot ye every clime? It was (indeed) in keel as ing, that Pan, who was the son< na everybody, was the ugliest of the gods. e- And, again, another enormous diffe lS ence between this day and that< -s which it is the anniversary is seeni in- the enormous difference in the natui en, and influence of the forces that d< ne termine our national and political de sh tiny. Then, ideas ruled the hour, T< uy day, there are indeed ideas that ru] he our hour, but they must be merchan ed able ideas. The growth of wealth, i of prevalence of luxury, the massing large material forces, which by the very existence are a menace to th freedom and integrity of the individi he al, the infinite swagger of our America as speech and manners, mistaken bignes en for greatness, and sadlyi confoundin its gain and godliness-all that is a cor re trast to the austere simplicity, the ur ses purchaseabele integrity of the fir: at. days and first men of our Republi< ne which makes it impossible to repr< rip duce to-day either the temper or ti thm conduct of our fathers. As we turn th pages backwr-d, and come upon th story of that 30th of April, in the year of our Lord 1787, there is a certain stateliness in the air, a certain cere moniousness in the manners, which we have banished long ago. We have exchanged the Washingtonian dignity for the Jeffersonian simplicity, which 5 r was, in truth, only another name for e the Jeffersonian vulgarity. And what e have we got in exchange for it? In the t elder States and dynasties they had the t trappings of royalty and the pomps W 2 and splendor of the King's person to ? fill men's hearts with loyalty. Well, we have dispensed with the old titular. s dignities. Let us take care that we do : not 'part with that tremendous force s for which they stood? If there is to be f no titular royalty, all the more need is 4eref o rsogaj royalty. If therejs S n- aobility of descent, all~the ore Indispensable is it that there s should be nobility of ascent"-a charac t ter in them that bear rule, so fine and e high and pure that as men come with in the circle of its influence they in e voluntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the - royalty of virtue!" 2 President Harrison and his pluto &ratic Vice President listened to the s pastoral utterance with .faces tightly 4 r drawn and jaws firmly set. Mr. Cleve land's face 'wore a look of mingled amusement and surprise. In the two pews immediately in front of Presi E dent Harrison sat Postmaster General Wanamaker, Secretary Windom and t all the other members of the Cabinet, ' with the exception of Mr. Blaine, who, . as is known, is ill in Washington. * There was bitterness written on the s faces-of all the occupants of those two pews, and it must be said, to chronicle - the occasion truthfully, that a sigh of relief swept over the church when the = Bishop ceased. A benediction closed the religious ceremony, and the Presi dent and other distinguished worship ers at once took a carriage for Wall Street. Fortunes in Small Things. The New Jer8e man who hit upon e t"he-4dca attacking a rubber-erasing 3 tip to the end of lead pencils is worth' I $200,000. The miner who invented a metal rivet or ey let at each end of the d mouth of coat and trousers pockets, to C resist the strain caused by the carriagen of pieces of ore and heavy tools, has7 made more money from his letters o patent$than he would have made had= f f he "struck" agood vein of gold-bearing d quartz. Every one has seen the met< 9 plates that are used to protect the heT s e. and soles of rough shges,but every one 1 doesn't know that within ten years the r -man who hit upon the idea has made l $250,000. As large a sum as was -ever - obtained for any invention was enjoyed: by the Yankee who invented the in t verted glass bell to hang over gas jets '-u t to protect~ ceilings from being black N 'ened by smoke. A simple thing? Yes, f very. Frequently time and circum a stances are wanted before an invenitioa e is appreciated, but patience is frequent b ly rewarded, and richly rewarded, too j nl for the inventor of the roller-skate has 5s made $1,000,000, notwithstanding the n e fact that his patent had nearly ex-3 0 pired before the value of it was ascer- - n tained in the craze for roller-skating-4 r- that spread over the country severall *s years ago.
