Mr. Cleveland
this meets the
I :
wul know before
eye of the ruadnr
wnetuer the masses agree with him
or not. lu any eienti a large nam
oer 01 a.mf noao Mnde hats will
cnange nands on the day that the
horrible truth-iwirsts tn npon us.
Mr Clerslftndls a large man, with
a tendency towards embonpoint, and
twice in the past year his wife fc&s
Deen compeUed to insert a gore
tne same material in the waiBtkanri
of his pauUloons. Embonpoint
overtakes th good and the great
alike, and the Desaantand theerowiu
ed head moat each take his chances.
Even Qaeen Victoria, as good a
woman, probably, as ever trod shoe
leather, is,ala, inclined to rotundftv.
She is not too rotund, but just
enough so to make her walk anything
but stately. Queen Victoria Begina
by the Grace of God weighs 197
pounds without her crown,
I do not kuow why royalty should
be inclined to flesh up, but such is
tne case. I do not believe there are
more than two or three kings in our
set, who are not a little thick eet,
and they are still young, and liable
o get in good condition before they
are aone reiernine.
How well I remember tbe slight
and girlish figure of Qaeen Victoria
on the day of her nuptials. As she
stood up there by the side of Pi iuce
Alb. r , tLe author of the coat which
buttons up no tight that you have to
alm -st undren8 yourself in order to
get a nickel for the car conductor
as wbe stood there by his side, I &ay, I
proud and happy ttat she was about
to celebrate her nuptials, and that
Albert was going to take prt in tbe
entertainment, I could easily hive
spanned her waist with my hands.
That ip, I could haviu dene to pro
vided I had been quick enough to do
it just a little before I got killed.
It is so with Mr Cleveland. As a
boy he was slender, aLd rather in
clined to be willowy. I Now he lives
high, eats rich victuals, writes a little
short veto, thakes hands for a brief
spell, draws hia salary and goes to
bed. This tends to make him nrnrn
or less stout, and g vea him a ten
peccy towards short j breath. S ill
it is believed that he will ran well,
both here and in Canada.
Mr. Cleveland is a! married man.
His wife in a charming woman, and
well liked even bv thoEe who believe
that a reduction in
redaction in the tariff on
caustic soda will compel future
cam-
paigDS to do without soap.
She has a spnghilv and elastic
step, which lots of other girls have
tried to imitate, but without
success. I never saw anybody walk
with such a springy, happy and utter
ly unaff cted git ( .People have
described Mrs, Cleveland s clothes,
her pmile, her marmot, her penchant,
her gladiolas, her l ouhoinme. her
cueine, her tournure, and her home,
even to the Dotcbed and beautifully
scolloped newspapers i n her buttery
shelves, bat nobody has done ample
as t ice to her carnage and her joy
ous step We have all seen women
who were rather advanced m years,
and whose unkissed kisses were be
ginning to get a little b't frowsy.
We have, 1 say, seen jtnem attempt
to walk blithely, while their joints
cracked dismally, and their gait was
the highly humorous gambol of a
camel dancing on a cactus bed; but
Mrs. Cleveland 'walks! like one wlio
ris so tickled to think ithatshe is etiil
alive, and tfcat people are btill nam-
iner their children after her, that she
jut simj ly has to hold on to nerseu
to keep from giving way to ner juy
and slidiDg down tne f'bannister" of
the White House, or putting split
sticks on the tails of the CUinese em
bassy. : .
iTike Mrs. Cleveland very mucn,
and so does every one else who will
just h honest about jit, "whether he
agrees with her husband or not. A

while Lis wife was the guest of Mrs.
Cleveland, and how; the first lady
in the land, regardless of her
own danger, visited i the little folks
every day, and helped in a thousand
ways to tide them ovei to health
again; and though innumerable social
demands were made upon her time,
she never forgot the babies or their
wants until at least the danger was
over and health returned. This has
not been printed before, and even
now my informant might not thank
me for saying it, but it is true, and
we like to know such things- They
refresh, us after w have been reading
about the genuine bitternees and the
artificial friendships of public life.
Mr. Cleveland rises a little befoie
daylight, reluctantly jleaviug his bed
to its fate. He steps to the window
and looks out to see what tbe weather
tor the day is going (to be. He then
roea to the mirror and glances with
a pleased and gratified air at his re
nVcted image mere.

VJD8 ch one on the quarter
and m a firm voice tells him to
"stand around." Mr. Cleveland has
a wonderful faculty for making peo
ple "stand around." and it is iuat so
at the barn. Several office-seekers
have also been compelled to stand
around, first on one foot and then nn
iha other, until thev
weary. . .
He then feds the horses sixauarta

he pitches down a forkful of hav to

and with a little soft-soap bathes
himself aa io hands and face. He
then slips off a pair of overalls which
he wears only while doing chores,
and removing his boots, which have
rather a gamey or horsey air ab aut
them, he puts on his best boot?, and
sits down to breakfast at half-past
six o'clock.
Eating a hurried breakfast of fried
mush and molaasep, with tea and a
small wedge of prune pie, he goes at
once to his work and writes as hard
as he can jump into it, until the

the masses, and bis afferuooh to the
people.
At hit twelve o'clock dinner he
eats substantial food, consisting of

only kept up with the bills passed by
Congress during the longest session
in the history of the American R-j-putlic,
but he has actually eleven or
twelve vetoes ahead, in anticipation
of the approaching session in
December.
Mr. Cleveland has established a
reputation for stubbornness and in
depend nee which has great y en
deared him to the Republican party,
and soured many leaders in his own
party, who were willing to have him
come and lean on them and ask them
things. Mayor Hewitt is of this.
He would have been pleased to tell
the President many, many wholesome
truths, and also t- have written
some of hia letters fr him, but Mr.
Cleveland said no, he would do the
best he could; and leave the matter
to the people this fail. Whether he,
or Myor Hewitt, or the people, will
get left in this- way remains to be

The river freezes to a great depth,
