I wish it could be more, but the Thompson Orphnage as you know divides tie pennies with the Cot; and in fact the Lenten work "cut out'' for the children of the parish was to save and to make what they' could for this institution, but as mine were already enlisted under jour banner they reserved the richt of dividing with you. v While I am always willing to divide with tho Thompson Orphanage, 1 agreo with your children that it is only fair to remember that the first pledge was made to the Cot, And t!iat until it is endowed it has a first claim to bu remembered by all the enlisted Messengers. 1 wisn I had time for a personal let ter, 1 always enjoy yours o much that 1 would like to get them oftener, bat now my mother's illness atracts literallv all of my days and all of .my writing is done between bed time and mid night a space of les3 than two hours, so yon see it is impossible.

Qraham thinks he would rather work for the Thompson Orphanage than for the Missions Mite boxes, be cause he "dou't know, the heathens bit has teen the Orphans." True enough!

New Vs;, Apil 20 Ex President Cleveland today mad? a rply io the article publithed by the Sun ytiUid.y ti the effect tbit was utidergoin a tpecal treat ottii ty Dr. ebeningr of Germany, for reducing flesh. It was asserted that Mr. Cltvcland w& gaining weight, at the rate of twenty nve ponnds a month, and that both he and biii friends were orioiu!y alarmed at his condition. When sen is his ofSce this after coon the Ex President appearance certainly did not btjar out the stati ment that he is rapidly increasing in weight If any tbtnjr ho we?ghs less now than when he left the White Home, and his face has a very healuy color. "I have not, said Mr. Cleveland, seen the articles yon refer to, and if it appears nowhere eUe than mtbe Sun there is sot the least chance of my seeing it. .;.-..:;;... ...-,, - '; j ;TirK story a Ue. 1 '. Of eource, the entire thing is a lie without the slightest pretext to excuse it I judge from, what you say that the venerable editor of the Sun sup poses that he has at last hit upon a subject wbien can r used to annoy me. -. In this he is mistaken. He must bonis own jadge of social decencies and proprieties. - I am sure that , be should not. at his time of life, and in his apparently peculiar mental condi tion, be molested in his amusement." u Continuing, Mr. Cleveland said that he has endeavored, since , coming to the city to reside, to miad h:s own business. ,Tf be should accept all the invitations for social enjoyment he would haye to abandon his law prac tice, and he had decided cot to accept any. Mr. Cleveland said he had been treated with a great deal of kindness and consideration by the people of the, city, and he appreciated it thorough ly. r - x, . s I do not care,' Mr. Cleveland add ed "how much I am criticised for my public acts.hat is perfectly legiti mate and I recognize the right of every man to .. differ on public questions. There is a line, however, it x teems to me, where criticism and abuse should stop. The man who invades the pri yacy of a family and indulges in coar se and wanton attacks on private citi zens is no better than a hiphwavman. He places himself on the IeveIxof the black guard and his vulgarities can have no weight with decent people.'' Regarding the frequent personal attacks upon himself inthe columns of the Sun Mr. Cleveland8aidthat, while he never saw them, every time one appeared a dozen crankV would write to him about it. X a Senile liar and thief. " Whenever I receive these cranks' letters," said Mr. Cleveland, "I know that the senile old liar and thief. Dana has been at it again. That is the only way I keep track of his mental rav ings. The object, I suppose, is to an noy me and my friends. 'There is only one thing," Mr. Cle veland resumed.and a tender express ion lit up his face. that I care anys thing about in these attaeksxthey are not confined to myself. It teems that toe senile old Dana does not confine his warfare to men. Women arenot tree from his distardly assanlrs. Mrs. Cleveland has not escaped. It is bad enough for Dana to print bis lying statements regarding myself, but it is indifinitely more cowardly and dis-. tardly for him to include as e has done, my wife in his attacks. "Npthing could be more contemptible or so far remoyed from all instincts of manhood. Mr. Cleveland spoke with consider able feeling in referring to the un warranted use that had been made of Mrs. Cleveland's name by the editor of the Sunj There was no language he said, strong, enough to characterize the conduct of such a man. If Dana was not in bis dotage, with one foot in the grave, his senile ravings would attract more attention. Th nnhbV. are disposed to look with some lenin ency upon a man who had mental par esis. That was all that saved Dana from being held to a strict account for his atrocious conduct. THE RECENT ELECTIONS, Changing the subject, Mr. Cleyeland spoke ot the recent elections, and said thev were most gratifying to the De n ocraoy. The result in Rhode Island, at the by-elections .held in the city of Providence, was especially significant and encouraging. It was a strong vindication of the ballot reform law. "Every friend of ballot reform will hail the result in Rhode Island as most eECouraging." be said. "Look ing at it from the highest and lowe t standpoints it seems to me that the Democrats will be the gainers by the adoption of ballot reform all over the countryj We believe that we have principles and ideas that appeal to the people, and upon a fair and free dk cossion of the issues the majority will vote one way. "But to take a low view of he sit nation, if both parties go into the busi ness of yoto buying the Republicans have twenty dollars to spend whtre we havej one, so we could not hope to compete with them successfully in that line. , We should have a ballot reform law in everyState in the in terest of good politics and honest government." ; iS-i. . : A Successful Combination.

No percentage is given for the colored school, but it was much less than the above ficruie. The pub lication of the Roll ot Honor, has been, for some reason, discontinued. This is to be regretted, as it was a valuable stimulus to the ambition of the scholars. Prof. Joyner has issued a circular letter to the patrons of the school, asking for contributions to increase the school library. It is to be hoped that he will meet with sub stantial success.

The Lodge has now about fifty two con tributing members, and owns valuable real estate. Before making the recent repairs upon its building, the Treasury showed a balance of $1,200.
