Knight Templar and their ladies, and
thsri was such an assemblage in the cer-
, rMerM that of which I have spoken.
' The corridor gossip of that evening would
Ha book.
"It k net a well dressed cabinet," said
ee of the lady society reporters. "In
my opinion, Mr. Harrison should np np
peint a court dressmaker, who is te be
takes out and hanged at sunrise if he
doesn't make the sleeves of the gowns
worn by the ladies of the cabinet fit
better. Why, Mrs. Blank's dress h kiih-
Sly abominable and she such n swift
Hie woman, tee. It is really tee bad.
1 wonder if she makes her own drcasent
Leeks like it In fact, there nre a number
of home made gowns in the blue room
at this blessed moment, unless I am
greatly mistaken. That dress of Mrs.
Harrison's is lovely material, but it isn't
made right. Out have you noticed hew
weetly Mrs. Harrison receives the com
pany? She doesn't shake hands, Heaven
be praised. I hepe we have seen the end
of hand shaking by ladles of the White
Heuse.
Mrs. Cleveland used te terture herself
se that the next morning after a recep
tion she was unnble te dress without the
help of her maid. Hew much nicer it Is
te gently incline the head toward a guest
and smile, as Mrs. Harrison does, than
te have your hand swollen by senseless
gripping and twisting. I have heard
that Mrs. Harrison is trying te prevail
pen the president te abandon hand
shaking, tee, but he is afraid somebody
mmj take offense. I'll bet she carries
her point before the winter is ever. If
they will only get a court dressmaker
warranted te make geed sleeves, nnd
abandon handshaking, I think the ad
ministration will be n sucr though I
must say the Clevcland was the
best dressed cabinet, sc the ladles
are concerned, we hav .md in Wosh Wesh Wosh
,ingten in twenty years. MrB. Clovo Clevo Clove
Kand's gowns wcre poems. Mrs. Whit
ney had her dresses made by Werth, nnd
they wcre 6tunnlng. Mrs. Fairchlld
dressed beautifully, and se did the Misses
'.Bayard.
"Nobody knows hew much moreof this
akein of small talk would have been un
wound hed net another lady correspond
ent come up just at this moment with
the marks of excitement visible in her
fece.
'.'Such a nice piece of newn as I have
just picked upl" exclaimed she. "What
de you think? Steward Zieman is going
te leave the White Heuse. The story is
that,h4 has an offer te go back te the
HetJ Richelieu, Chicago, at $3,000 n
year, and that he has accepted. But I
happen te knew Hint be resigned a
month age because he nnd Mrs. Hurrl Hurrl
ten de cot ogree about seme things in
the management of the house Thcre is
no quarrel, or nnythihg like that, but
professional stewards Ilk Mr. Zlemnn
and geed housekeepers like Mrs. Ilarri Ilarri
ten were net intended te llve under the
same reef.
"I have just been down stairs talking
te Mr. Zieman about it. He showed me
all through the kitchen nnd laundry nnd
says he never werketl in n nicer place,
nor undsr a nicer man than the presi
dent, He actually hates te leave, though
he is te get a thousand dollars tucre a
year in Chicago than the government
allows. Yeu sce, the steward of the
White Heuso is somebody. He is court
ed by a geed many people who consider
themselves of imjiertance. Life below
stairs in this case is a pretty geed sort
of life, The steward has very little
work te de with his own hands, nnd
reigns supreme in the basement, except
son cuoeses te go down
He has very comfertablo quarters of his
own, including a parlor as nice as that
of some millionaires I knew, in which
he can receive his friends. I understand
that Mrs. Harrison intends takingcharge
of the heuse for a time, and that no
steward will be employed te take Mr.
Zianan's place."
At this moment Postmaster General
Waaamakcr left the blue room for a
moment and passed through the corri
dor. "I knew a geed joke en Wnnainaker,"
aid a newspaper innn; "you knew the
postmaster general always wears n high,
white hat with a black band ureund it.
He has worn that uarue hat ever stnee he
came te Washington the $1.19 hat we
boys call it and he actually wero it
here te-night. I'm betting that he wears
It all winter. But the jeke I was going
,te tell you abeut: Ycbterday, Mr. Scott,
chief of the salary division of the post pest
office department, was walking ever te
Clark's for luncheon with the postmas
ter genera), who wanted te talk te him
about the investigation of the Chicago
postefflce. A band went by, playing a
lively air. 'What tune is that? De you
knew it, Bcett? 'Why, yes,' responded
the division chief, 'that is "Where Did
Yeu" . But here Scott stepped. He
looked up at the postmaster general,
coughed, stammered a little, and finally
cencluded: 'Guess I don't knew that
tune, after all, Mr. Wanainakcr. It
sounds familiar, but I can't just place, it.'
And aa they entered Clark's the band
disappeared around the corner of the
patent office playing 'Where Did Yeu

That was when she happened
te see a photograph of her husband, the
secretary, tak;n profile. I was at her
house when a'ae first saw this picture,
and she didn't like it a little bit. 'It is
abominable,' she cried. 'It makes him
leek like a monkey.' The jeke of this
was that it docs net strain one's imagina
tion te see a mjnkey in the profile of the
secretary, handsome though he is, but I
didn't dare tell her se then. She ordered

correspondent; "it Is net a thing that
yen Democratic papers can make use of,
but It is certainly remarkable, and al
most Incredible. Yen knew old Jerry
Rusk ever there, the man who told Jee
Cannen, of Illinois, that even if he was
the tall of the administration he would
try te be useful, for one of the chief
duties of a tall was te keep the flics off.
Well, Secretary Rusk has been a lumber
man, a teamster, a stage driver, a sol
dier and a politician, and he never used
tobacco in any form. Did you ever be
fore hear of anything quite se extraor
dinary as a stnge driver who did net
chew tobacco?"
"Speaking of Rusk and Windem," said
another member of the gossip circle,
"that reminds me of the fact that they
are the two domecratio members of the
Cabinet. Secretary Blaine finds It neces
sary te be a little exclusive. Miller is
the sort of man who has few friends, but
geed ones. Neble is a very charming
man, but also a very dignified one. Proc Proc
eor is little known except by officials,
and the same is true of Tracy. Wana
maker is tee busy te waste any time en
his friends, however much he may be
inclined te de se. But It appears as if
everybody knew Windem and Rusk.
They are the only chatty, informal, hall
fellows in the Cabinet. I have seen them
at Chamberlln's of an evening, sitting nt
a little table, with a bottle of wine bo be
tween them, and n few geed friends
around, telling stories. Unde Jerry
Rusk is the best story teller in the Cabi
net, nnd if you want te enjoy yourself
sometlmoget the secretary of agricul
ture laughing. He is a hearty, lively,
geed naturcd, well balanced man. who
sleeps e' nights and has n geed nppctite.
I nm net surprised nt his popularity.
"Secretary Tracy is a mild looking
sort of man," remarked a Baltimore
newspaper man; "leeks like an cany go
ing Methodist minister or n vcncmble
nmlly physician, doesn't he? Out it is a
great mistake te suppese he hasn't lets
of force nnd spunk. I was in his offlce
the ether day when he discovered that a
ccitaln plecoef work which he had order
ed pushed had liecn neglected for several
weeks. He sent for the derelict official.
Where nre the specifications for that
cruiser' he asked, sharply. The official
made seme excuse and said it was Mr.
S.'s fault. Mr. 8. was holding back the
work en the cruiser In question. 'And
who in perditien is Mr. S.?' asked the
sccietnry. 'Is Mr. S. bigger thnn the
navy department, bigger than congress,
bigger than the secretary te whom con
gress has given Its orders? Congress ap
propriated the money for this fillip, nnd
wltcn congress meets ngaln It will want
te knew why the work has net been
-started. I cannot lay the bluine at Mr.
S.'s deer. If I did, congress would laugh
atnie. Congress holds me responsible
for executing its will, nnd I held you
responsible for executing my will, nnd
this Mr. S. nlse. Send thnt gentleman
te me at once.'
"I should like te hnve been present at
the Interview between the sccietnry of
the navy nnd Mr. 8.," added the corre
spondent, "but under the circumstances
I thought I had better retire. Tills little
scene, of which I wni accidentally n wit
niss, showed me who is naming the
navy department, nnd convinced me that
the navy ofllceia'cllijuehas been nomero
successful in managing Secretary Tracy
than it was with Secretory Whitney."
While the sir knights nnd ladies passed
by the presidential party in the blue
room, and tills getsip continued In the
corridor, the famous marine band was
playing nmid n blaze of electric and
calcium lights en the lawn south of the
Whlte Heuse.
"Have you ever heurd the stOt-y or
shall I call it the tradition? nbeut the
origin of the marine band?" iuijulred nn
old gentleman. "A geed many yeura
age, perhaps clxty or reventy, a United
States war vessel was cruising en the
coast of Italy, As lib orders would
shortly carry him te Nice, where the
ehip'a officers were anticipating n pleas
ant Beclal season, nnd, as he had no baud
en beard, the commander hit upon n
novel plan te secure the much coveted
music. lie Kent oue of his mettt reckless
officers ashore in command of n trusty
beat's crew of Jack tais and marines as
reckless as himself, with erdein te im
press nsAmcticniuieamcn the firbt stroll
ing band of musicians they might ceme
sic less. Thcboerdeis were carried out,
and the bold commander nnd lib officers
had a splendid time in the winter retort
ports of the Mediterranean.
"Mere than that, they (neught their
strolling players te Washington, nnd
these musiciuus wcre the nucleus of the
new famous band which we hear play
ing outside. Some of the best Italian
families In, Wniihlngten, rich ns the
Carusta and Masseys, nre said te have
been founded by these win filing musical
immigrants. Carusl's dancing lull, ou
will remember, was the scene of ene of
the inaugural balls given in honor of

The Hen. Rebert P. Perter, superin

information as te Its scope and his pro
posed methods of enumeration, and in
a late issue of Frank Leslie's he sums tip
Ills plan in a very Interesting way. It

gees without saying that congress in
tended the census of 1800 te be the most
minute nnd com pic te ever taken In this
or any' ether country, nnd it is almost a
discouragement te learn nt the start that
the completed work will consist of at
least twenty-flve quarto volumes, as the
labt did of twenty-two. However, the
bureau Is already erganized,-nnd will
have seme 2,000 clerks, se thnt the work
will le finished in much shorter time
than was the census of 1880, nnd the
volumes will be se divided and the factt
se clusnifiwl i bat ene can find what lie
wants any isiniitt
Reme of the leatures will be quite
novel. In addition te the standard tables
en population, race, color, sex, age nnd
nationality, the vast statistics of produc
tion in nil branches nnd the summaries
en disease, crime, pauperism, illiteracy,
etc, ns in the tenth census, there will be
ininute specifications of the gas wells nnd
products, debts, taxation, mortgage) nnd
nil ether Itemi bearing en the recial con
dition et thn people, nnd a complete enu
meration of thu teternns of the war for
the Union mid their place of tcsidence.
In fhert, nny geed calculator can take
the tables and in a few minutes summn summn
rize the condition of nny class or bcctien,
tell what his chances for long life nre in
nny particular district, what diseases he
will Iw lluble te in each place and many
ether curious thingn.
Dr. Jehn 8. Billings will suminarize
the vital statistics ami deduce from them
seme axioms of general application, and,
ns he is known throughout the civ ilized
world for skill in this line, the results
will be mere valuable that) usual. Mr.
Henry Gannett, geographer te the bu
reau, ns he was in 18S0, has divided the
country into 175 districts, ever each of
which thcre will be n supervisor, who
will name his own enumerators. At the
head of the population statistical divis
ion is William C. Hunt, who has made a
reputation in Uie-Ma6Racliu8etts bureau
of labor. Frank It. AVilliams, of Louis
iana, who had charge of the statistics of
manuracture in 1880, will fill the 6a me
position for this census. Professer
Henry C. Adnms, the well known lec
turer en political economy, will have
charge of the highly important depart
ment relating te transportation.
Dr. Da,id T. Day will head the depart
ment of mines; iu the collecting of facts
many of thu best trained expeita In the
country have been secured. Of cej. ,
Superintendent Perter is a little cautious
in giving out nny guesses as te the popu
lation erueallli of the nation next jear,

pected ill home lines, especially In the
enumeration of crimes, criminal, depend
ent nnd defective classes nnd illiterates.
This is something of n "chestnut" among
statisticians in all countries, for it is
obviously im-iossible te draft instructions
se minute that all enumerators will
understand them alike. Who, for in
stance, Is n 'criminal?" A man who has
been iu the penitentiary or ene also who
ought te be? Who is an illiterate is one
who can write his name, but no mere?
It is also notorious that many who can
not writodcclare they can.
As te the total population, cautious
guesscrs state nt 05,000,000; but thore is
geed reason for believing it will be near
er 70,000,000, nnd that the colored, in
fctead of Wing mere than an eighth of
the whole, will rise but little above a
ninth. The census of 1870 was noto
riously bad, and showed the Increase of
tlie coleied (1800-70) te have been but
a trille ever 0 ppr cent., whlle the tenth
census made their increase, III 1870-80,
about 35 per cent I Ohe of these was
evidently wrong, nnd probably both
were, In fact the last was flatly against
common tense, as it indicated "a radical
change In the laws of nature. Te show
this, consider that In 1790 the colored

New, since 1680 immigration has ex
ceeded anything recorded in history; In
only two years has It fallen below 400,
000 (a very little), and in ene year 780,
000 Europeans landed in the United
States. The total for ten years cannot
fall much below 0,000,000, nnd ns nearly
all wcre in the prime of life, nnd of the
class that marry aa seen as they can buy
stove, bed and chairs, it is safe te say
that the 0,000,000 have organized at least
1,000,000 new families, and of se many
families averaging five years duration,
1,500,000 children is a low estimate. It
Is safe te add 7,600,000 for the foreign
increment alone, or as many as the en
tire colored population, reducing that te
a point net far above one-ninth of the
total. If the increase of these already
In the country in 1880 be put at the low
est point claimed by any one, say 18 per
cent, that would still make It ever 9,000,
000, and se make the total very near
67.000.000.. If. however, the increase el
the colored be put at what it was before
the war, and that of native Americans
at the avcrage rntcs of 1840-80, It will
be seen that the population next year
must go surpassingly near te seventy
millions)
Huch a rapid Increase certainly cannot
be maintained through many decades,
for experience shows that whenever pop
ulation begins te press en the means of
subsistence a rapid diminution in the
rate of Increase results; and the point at
which the people feel "pressed" Is de
termined chiefly by their habits of life
and standard of comfort. In many parts
of Europe, for instance, population is
already practically at a standstill the
people declaring by their acts that they
would rather be comfortable than nu
merous. Iu the United States the point
of pressure, the feeling of limited com
fort, will be reached sooner than in say
ether country. Indeed, it is alt-eady
reached by nt least a fifth of the popula
tion, nnd it would net be difficult te
mark out considerable classes whose
numbers are stationary.
Assuming that recent rates of Increase
abroad have continued, European Rus
sia new hai 88,000,000 pcople; Germany,
47.000,000; Austre-Hungary. 88,000,000;
France, 87,000,000; Great Britain and
Ireland as many; Italy, 30,000,000, and
Spain. 17,000,000. Se the United States
Is only exceeded among civilized nations
by Russia, though forty years age it
steed sixth, nnd twenty years bence It
will certainly lie first in numbers, as it
has for seme time been first In wealth.

The French, both engineers and pub
lic, are just new greatly interested in a
peculiar little railroad operated in one
corner of the exposition ground at
present a mere toy, but capable, possi
bly, of being made very useful. It may
be called a gliding train read, as water
is the propelling power, nnd the cars are
arranged te move en a constantly re
newed water bed, without noise or fric
tion; and the Inventor maintains that it
will preve eminently practicable and
very economic in mountain regions or
wherever a stream supplies abundant
water se as te secure pressure.
A melancholy interest attaches te the
Invention. As early as 1804 Monsieur L.
D. Glrerd was experimenting, en his
own property, and in 1870 had just an
nounced that he had secured the desired
combination when the France-Prussian
war broke out he entered the service
and was killed. His friend and pupil
Monsieur M. A. Barre at once took up the
plans, and after many experiments an
nounces a success. There are two prin
ciples: perfect smoothness and freedom
from noise and smoke are secured by
having the cars rest en box supports
(there are no wheels), which run en a
very thin bed of water; and the metive
power is by turbine wheels under the
cars, which wheels are moved by col
umns of water rising from fixed tubes
along the track.
The mechanism of the latter process is
rather complicated, and of course the
system would be practicable only where
a running stream could be drawn en at
will or an immense
conduit supply
abundance of wa
ter. Thus it will
be seen that this
gliding train is one

way of realizing the old dream of mak
ing a rapid current itself supply the
means of ascending it. Of course, nny
ene can see that even the smallest of
naviguble rivers, with the most Bluggish
of currents, sends te waste, se te speak,
far niore than enough power te propel an
ocean (steamship up the stream if only
nil the power of the downflewing water
could be concentrated en the upgeing
beat. In the Girard-Darre invention the
upright columns in which the water is
nre powerfully capped; yet the caps nre
se nrranged that the firbt car opens the
cap nud the last ene closes it. This may
be partially understood by reference te
the annexed cut.
At R is n step cock comma) dr 1 by the
aim projecting te M M; opened, it al
lows a gush of wntcr through the pipe
T nnd against the piston C, which is
much larger than the cap D. C gives
back nnd being connected by red with
D, opens it. By means of n sloping bar
en the firbt car the lever is pressed down
till the end of the arm is at M, nnd eethc
cap is opened; en the last car a reversed
bleping bar presses the arm back te M,
the water which has been pressing en
C escapes, the coil behind O tends te
push it te its place again, and se D is
closed. If the conductor thinks there is
speed enough, he raises the sloping bar
by a lever se that it misses a few spouts,
till the speed is reduced te suit him. Of
course, the water in the upright columns
or tubes (strictly speaking, it is net in
them till the automatic step cocks have
acted) has a high "head" and comes
with immense force. Equally, of course,
the turbines under the cars are 60 le
cated ns te glide evenly ever the tops of
lhe-uprigh tubee and secure-thc- full
ferce of the water, and the tubc3 are
thickly set along the track.
The cars rest en box sills, if one may
se call them, Instead of wheels, and
these box Bills nre rectangular and re
versed en rectangular rails, en which
they fit snugly. Down into these box
61II3 comes a small pipe conveying water
under great pressure. Tills water tends
of course te flew out, front or back, be
tween the box bills nnd the rail, but lit
tle grooves nre made in the rails 60 as te
crente many nnd ruinute eddies nnd
greatly check the outflow. This is most
difllcult te understand by the ordinary
reader of any part of the by stem; yet
the engineers attest that the arrange
ment is se far a success that a water bed

tion and shock te an inappreciable! mini-

mum. One man pushing with his shoul
der can uiove n train weighing 110,000
pounds. As the water for the box sills
must be transported, it is desirable te re
duce the needed amount te a minimum,
and this is very ingeniously done.
Thcre nre many ether curious points
In the system, but the foregoing are the
main principles, and after thorough
trial the engineers report that the system
is practicable along nil rapidly running
streams; that it insures freedom from
smoke, dust, nolse and jar; that it saves
one-half the ordinary wear of cars; that
trains can be stepped In much less time
than these running by steam, and that a
speed of 110 miles per hour with perfect
safety is attainable. The reader Is, of
course, nt liberty te discount for the
French of this.
The idea of making n river current
supply the power for ascending it has
long been n favorite with engineers, nnd
r.eine of the schemes suggested have
been both curious nnd amusing. The
main difficulty is evident te the most un
scientific mind the machinery te utilize
water power must, apparently, be sta
tionary, and yet the lieat must move.
One plan suggested was te utilize the
chain already employed In seme rivers
by which steamers "climb," their gear
wheels turning en the chain as they go,
and the projector thought that with this
"purchase" n beat mlghtruu against the
current as a kite rises against the wind.
Thus n lm.it mltht "climb" rapidly from
