In another week or tv.'O things will settk dawn, and the Cleveland' will begin their real lute Uotise exirteiice. A great many people have seen Mrs, ( iuvt'laikl slHije she returned, but there it very little difference of opinion as to whether i-ho is na handsome as ever. The limst critical observers declare that she lie ve 1 vies as pretty p.s i-ho Is now. She has not. ihe color in her cheeks that she had when she flrst canto to Washington Washing-ton as s bride, but slight pallor makes her face doubln sweet and attractive, and all who saw her at the inacgnral ball are unanimous In the opinion th:.t her appearance, never I'.. fore had fo trnil folly been described as that of a perfectly handsome wouiuu. Mr.s Cleveland Cleve-land wiil probably in the near future appoint a d iv wh"n she will be at home to" callers, but it is not Hipposed that tiiei receptions will be for the general public, So far as is low known there will -fco eo public receptions at the White liouso until next winter, The President has had to answer a good many imj nil iea every day, both at his public receptions in the east room aad from the visitors he receives upstairs about Mrs, Cleveland. Everybody is noticing that .Mr. Cltvt-!and Cltvt-!and takes more genially to meeting tl:e crowds than he did whea President before. He is receiving all callers f.s fare possible, aud. shows a dlsposlt'on to give courteous attention to all re-tjuests re-tjuests and recommendations, but he is as deliberate as ever and as cautious about making promises. Hisauuoance-ment Hisauuoance-ment that he wiil cot restore his old ap point"?' to cihen except ia esses of tm-uua! tm-uua! and extraordinary merit caused dissappolutment and some remonstrp.Bce among that class at first, but the conviction con-viction is growing1 that the decision is good p diey.

Naturally but fe.v appointments have been made as yet, as th e cfcangptvmttst be arranged carefully. The mailer of first irupor-j tsnce wiil doubtless bathe selectiou.o f the assistant secretaries in the various government departments here and the chousing of those who "will be e:;t abroad iu importaut positions.

Collins, of Massachusetts, Mas-sachusetts, as Consul tJeneral to London The duties of Mr, Maxwell's position are the same as were tL-cse cf the first assistant assis-tant Postmaster Getier.il wjeu Vies President Stevenson occupied the latter office, the four th class postmasters having hav-ing since teen placed under control of the fourth assistant. It Is said that Mr. Maxwell has already announced that he is in. favor of removing republican republi-can postmasters as fast as their commissions commis-sions expire, and if this.is true it bodes no good to republican appointees who are looking for favors from this administration. admin-istration. ...... One of President Cleveland's first Dili :cial acts was to recall from the Hc-niite tic trenty for the aunt xatijn of Hawaii rthiih Mr. llarrisoa had transmitted . nir the clse of the tegular te-siou of congivi-s.
