In the sum mor, when ho Hved at the Soldiery bom r, ho would take his frugal break-Ca-and ride into town in time to te at hid desk at 8 o'clork. He began to re-ceive visits nominally at 10 o'clock, but long before that hour struck the doors were besieged by anxious crowds, through whom the people of importance, senators and memlers of congress, el-bowed their way after the. fashion which still survives. On duys when the cab-inet met, Tnesday and Fridays, the hour of noon closed the interviews of the morning. On other days it was the president's custom lit about that hour to order the doors to be opened and all who were waiting to 1e admitted. At luncheon time he had literally to run the gauntlet through the crowds who filled the corridors lietween his of-fice and the rooms at the west end of the house occupied by the family. The afternoon wore away in much the same manner as the morning; late in the day he usually drove out for an hour a air-ing; at 6 o'clock he dined. He was ono of the. most abstemious of men; the pleasures of the table had few attractions for him. His breakfast wai an egg and a cup of coffeei at luncheon ho rarely took more than a biscuit and a glass of milk, a plate of fruit in its sea-son; at dinner ho ate sparingly of one or two courses. He drank little or no wine; not that ho remained always on prin-ciple a total abstainer, as he was a part of his early life in the fervor- of the "Wnshingtonian" reform, but he never cared for wine or liquors of any sort and never used tobucco. Col. John Hay in Century. POLITICAL REVULSIONS. Blnce Jackson's Time They nave Maltl- - pllml. Special Correspondence. New Yohk, Nov. 20. The moral o,' the late election, arithmetically speak- - ing, is solf evident the older the coun-try grows the more doubtful each elec-tion becomes, and a comparatively small change in the popular vote makes an enormous change, in tho representative vote. Garfield is supposed to have had a "sweeping victory" 214 electoral votes to 135. Vet his plurality on the popular vote was but 7,08 out of 8,801, 088 for the two leading candidates less than one-tent- h of 1 per cent! A change of one vote in sixty in one state in 1888 would have elected Cleveland. Vet Harrison had 233 electoral votes to 108. Fifty thousand votes, or one in 230 of the total, located in close states, would have given Cleveland an "overwhelming victory" in tho electoral college. And whore is tho politician wise enough to foresee the trifling accident that may change one vote in 230? Except in 1800 the result was a fore-gone conclusion at each election till 1824. Then the foundations of the great political deep were broken up. Of the four candidates John Quincy Adams was chosen by the house of representa-tives, although Gen. Jackson had a much larger popular and electoral vote. Tho people wore angry, yet, strange to pay, of all the great men then living not ' one foresaw the revolution of 1828 the first great political revolution of our his-tory. The scandals of that campaign were simply frightful. Those good old people who think the world is growing worse should read some of tho campaign ' papers of 1828. It is scarcely an exag-- I deration to say that Mrs. Jackson was murdered. She saw her name paraded in the public prints as that of the vilest of women, but bore up till the election was over and then died nominally of ' heart disease. On the day of the election the great Whig leader indulged in a confident prophecy. The whole number of elec-toral votes was '261, of which Jackson received 178 and Adams 83. For vice president Cullionn received 171, all others 00. In the house of representa-tives then elected Andrew Stephenson was chosen speaker by 153 votes to 39 for all others. And yet issues were so little defined that there was a majority in congress for the United States bank. Tho election of 1832 could not be called revolution, yet it was even more sur-prising. It was exnltingly proclaimed, and not denied by Jackson's friends, that nearly all the wealth and three-fourth- s of the profwsional men were against him. The number of electoral votes was 288, of which Jackson received 219 and Clay 49! Vermont voted for Wirt, anti-Maso- n, and South Carolina for John Floyd, whom the historians have char-itably allowed to be forgotten. In 1838 Van Uureri received 170 elec-toral votes and Harrison but 73. The panio of 1837 "obiterated the ancient landmarks," as the jonrnals of the day expressed it, and the congress of 1839-4- 1 showed a great falling off. Still the Democrats were ablo to elect as speaker the once noted and often ridiculed Rob-ert Mercer Taliaferro Hunter, of Vir-ginia. In 1840 the revolution was com-plete Harrison received 234 electoral votes and Van Buren 001 This was not so great a surprise then as it now seems, for the country really was in a very bad way. Two years later came the greatest surprise perhaps in our history the Whigs elected but 09 congressmen and the Democrats 140. In 1844 the figures remained nearly the same, yet in 181(1 the Whigs chose 115 congressmen and the Democrats but 108. The election of Taylor in 1818 was due to a Democratic "split" in New York, so the subsequent 'steady decline of the Whigs was no surprise. Their last fight was in 1852, when they got but 71 con-gressmen to the Democrat 159. Two years later came the fourth great polit-ical revolution in our history. The di-vision of parties in tho Thirty-fourt- h con-gress was not clear, but the Democrats were iu a "ninority, and a combination of Republicans and others controlled the house, N. P. Banks being chosen speaker. Tho slavery agitation was reopened, but parties remained more evenly bal-anced than appears on the surface. At any rate, there was no "great revolu-tion," and in 1800 Lincoln received but 41 per cent, of the popular vote, yet he had 180 electoral votes to 127 for all others. The law of politics that the party in power loses ground in the "off year" asserted itself in the very heat and fury of civil strife, and in 18H3 all the "close states" went against the adminis-tration. The next three elections must be re-garded as exceptions to the general rules; nevertheless the Democrats, who had elected but 40 congressmen in 1804, got 88 in 1372, to the Republi-cans 195. Then came the greatest of all "revolutions," both popular and rep-resentative. The majority of 7W,000 for Graut in 1872 gave plaoe to a Demo-cratic majority of about 400,000 in 1874, and in the Forty-fourt- h congress the Democrats hud 178 to the Republicans, 108. The change iu the popular vote is not easy to estimate, as tho vote on presi-dent and congressmen in 1872 varied greatly, but it fell little short of 1 ,000,000. The next "revolution" was not so sur-prising, but it was big enough, for the small Republican majority iu the Forty-sevent- h (Garfield) congress was changed in 1882 to a Democratic majority of 81. Thechange from 1884 to 1880 was not suf-ficient to wipe out the Democratic ma-jority, and even in 1888 the apparent popular majority was Democratic. So the year 1890 must stand in pur history as the era of the greatest overturn until ? From the foregoing summary the intelligent reader can properly estimate the fellow who is positive he l:nows just how the next election is going. J. H. Beadle. m STANLEY AT HOME 'PEN PICTURE OF THE EXPLORER AS HE WAS AND IS. A. Letter from One Who Knows the Trav-- , aler Well The Changes That Time Has , Wrought A Man of Many Qualities, 'ot All of Whirh Are Severe. (Special Correspondence ' New York, Nor. 20. When a man lias passed throngh an experience like that of Henry M. Stanley and conquered his right to fame by the hardest kind of battle; when, after spending years in fighting his way among savag, plod-ding day in and day out throngh African jungles, carrying his life in his hand and for months not speaking his native tongue; when, after opening a continent to civilization and bringing baok with him a long missing explorer, he returns to Europe, honored by kings and princes, exalted by scientists and praised by all men; and finally, roaching his American home, he greets his old friends with the simple, nnuffected cordiality that char-acterized the beginning of his career--it must be confessed that success has . neither turned his head nor heart. ' I was prepared to see Stanley changed both physically and socially. It seemed impossible that a man could experience so much vicissitude and not somehow show its impress. But despite the jeal-ousies he has encountered, the dissen-sions among some of his lieutenants, the ingratitude of Emin Pasha, the ugly controversy that has grown out of the killing of Maj. Parttelot by a savage chief, who, it is alleged, thus resented an injury done to his wife, the criticisms of the foreign press, and lastly tho tortures of the inquisition he bus undergone at the hands of the interviewers notwith-standing all these afflictions, 1 found him the loyal, warm hearted friend of old. In the presence of others than intimate acquaintances, however, the strong in-dividuality of file man asserts itself, and his bearing is cold and dignified almost to tho degreo of sternness. Physically, or rather physiognomio ally, the change was more apparent and startling. When we parted sixteen years ago his figure was like that of an athlete in superb training, his face round and unwrinkled and his hair dark. Now he looks prematurely old. His hair ia " STANLEY WHEN HE STAHTED TO FIND LIVINGSTONS. white and there appears to bo less elas-ticity In his movements than formerly, all of which Stanley ascriies to the Af-rican fever and thehardshfjand anxiety incident to his last expedition. There is no mistaking the keenness of his eye, however, and the determination written in every lino of his bronzed features. Personally Stanley never Vas a hand-some man, although his brO&d shoulders and thick neck would attract any one who admired strength, but his face was always, as it is at present, rndowed with an intellectuality that is unmistakable. It is the face of a man born to com-mand, resolute, aggressive, and one that et times may become dangerous in its expression. For this reason it is not difficult to understand why even alone and single handed ho could both intimi-date and encourage his savage followers. Doubtless it is this imperious manner, added to rigid discipline, that not only kept bis white associates in check, but aroused the spirit that has since their arrival in England found vent in recrim-ination and complaint. The most vital points of interest con-nected with Stanley's last expedition having been already made public with much detail, our conversation chiefly concerned early reminiscences, and it was a surprise to observe how closely his memory retained the incidontaof a moet-in-g that took place as far back as 1874. He was then on a visit to New York, after having found Livingstone, although his reception was very diFerent from that which has been accorded him now. In fact, some of the newspapers doubted his exploit and pronounced him little less than a fraud. He felt it ke'uly. He reminded me, too, of his propsition dur-ing our interview at that tirna to organ-ize an American company with a capital of only $100,000. of which he proposed to advance from $25,000 to $40,00(1, for the purpose not merely of continuing his ex-plorations, but to establish tntding posts in the neighborhood of Lake Tanganyika and otbr localities he had visited, where were to be found immense stores of Ivory, oils and gums. An endeavor was made among some of the capitalists in Wall street the very next day to raise the rwjuired sum, but to a man they turned their back upon the proposition, and tilMs lost at once a chance to realize reat fortunes, and to do what Stanley afterward induced the king of the Bel-gians to undertake, namely, to plant his llag there and establish a state. Stanley also humorously recalled what lie termed one of his "castles in Spain," that he saw growing up as the result of his newly accumulated wealth. After t'Stablishing the company above he was to return to New York, marry, erect a great mansion on the Hudson, surround it with bnngaloos built in central African style, where all the jouftlalists of New York could meet and enjoy themselves, and stock the groCtiuls with wild animals. F. G. ce Fontaine. tlilraa;o'a Feminine Milliard Expert. The largest number of women players at any one place may now be found at the aristocratic Standard club on the south side. The young women here do not hesitate to play an even game with the men, and hold their own, too. The Misses Goodman are , recognized s the best two players on the south side. On the north side Miss Cool ranks nbove all other female players. She can play too strong a game for most ama-teurs, making runs of fifty and sixty with three balls. Two years ago such a feat was considered next to impossible for any womun. Hampered by her skirts and corsets, there were any nnm- - ber of shots that she could not make. These have been overcome, however, by learning to handle the cue with the left hand. Nothing now seems to stand in tho way of a woman learning to play the game as well as the average man. Potter Palmer has a table of unique design which is a combination cabinet. The scheme was devised by Mrs. Palmer, who, with many of her north side friends, delights in the game. Tho table was built after an original design which sho fnminhed the factory. George M. Pullman is the possessor of another hand-some table, and the Misses Pullman are credited with being able to play a fair amateur game with four balls. Charles Schwartz has a table that cost nearly 1,000, and Mrs. H. H. Porter personally looks after both a billiard and a pool table ib her elegant home. Chicago News. j History of an Indian's Watch. An ancient silver timepiece, valuable for its historical associations no less than for its antiquity, is owned by Daniel Minthorn, of Watertown. It weighs 5$ ounces, and is 250 years old, and it keeps good time when wound, although it has not been repaired since 1847. The watch is of the pattern known as the "British bullseye," and is 1J inches thick. The face is of silver, roughly chased, and has a double row of figures Arabic and Roman numerals. It bears this mark, "Thomas Linhard, London, 110." A search through ancient directories of the city of London made by Mr. Min-thorn at tho last London exposition, re-vealed the fiict that this jeweler was in business on Fleet street between' the years 16!!8 and 1658. This cumbrous timepiece was once worn within the buckskin coat of the celebrated Mohawk a;ar chief, Joseph Brant, whose Indian name was Thayendancga, and regard-ing whose accomplishments as a war-rior, chief and courtier many legends are related in western New York and Can-ada. His influence during the latter half of the last, century is unprecedented in the annaln of the Indiun race. Jew-ler- s' Wi'l-ly- . In many shops in Portugal the sign "Americaji Spoken Here" has replaced the traditional "English Spoken." Some interesting experiments have recently been made in Denmark in fell-ing trees with gun cotton. For felling a tree twenty-fiv- e inches in girth it took two men only a quarter of an hour to make the preparations, the rule followed, being to make one bore hole for each foot of circumference. A Magnetic Separator. Among the numerous magnetic sepa-rators one of the most remarkable is that for the extraction of iron from the sea sand. It is stated that ordinary sea sand contains from 5 to 7 per cent, of iron, enough to give a large excess over cost of extraction. The machine consists of a cylinder, whose surface is composed of electro-magnet- s, revolving on tbe inside of an endless canvas belt.
