Upwards Of two thousand invitations will

really IN eristencc, but politically opposed
10 the party making The corrections. 1t is
estimated that O, least fifteen hundred Edi-

travel from three to five thousand miles
free of cost. Parties should be certain TO
start in time to reach Wheeling by the 3rd
of May, as the special train will leave there

"A note from Jefferson in

agreed upon by the managers there and in
St. Louis, is 10 be the introduction of res.

Republican out Of the Democratic Party

acter and prominence has been given TO
many Of these gentlemen, they owe TO the
Republican, and we rather incline 10 the o.
pinion that the power that has made, can
unmake them, if that should ever be neces-
ssry. We don't believe the people, who
look TO us for information on political topics
and who have always reposed just degree
confidence IN us, will think any better Of
these politicians, even if they should at
tempt 10 read us out Of party which hap.

A Presidential Dinner.

Occasional" in his last letter froL
Washington to the Press, describes dinner
at the Whits House as follows:
The hour is generally fixed at six o'clock
P. NJ, the time when millions are taking
their supper. You receive card about the
size of an ordinary playing card, if you are
invited by the President, the dimensions Of
the card are double. and generally read as
follows: "a
"The President requests ths hsno- cf
your company to dinner, on Friday, April
5, at 6p.N. An early answer ls requss-
ted"
If you go TO the Presidents, you are sxr
pected to dress in your best clothes, and
wear white gloves. You are introduced in
to ths small reception room, where you find
the President, Miss Lane, Mrs. Judge
Roosevelt, James buchanan, Jr., and the
rest Of the household. After being duly
presented to them, you await the arrival Of
the other guests. The private secretary,
Mr.. Buchanan Jr., quietly informs you that
you are to escort to the dinner such lazy
whom he now introduces to you, and ths
lady in your company is presented to anoth-
er gentleman, whois to te her companion
during the feast. The hour having arrived
the company move into the large drawing
room, where they are dazzled By the gor-
geous display Of plate and gaslight, and see
number of graceful walters, also in whits
gloves whose business Is to attend to the
guests.
The President takes his seat, not a! the
head Of tia table, but on the side, exactly
midway. Miss Lane acting as lis Uis-a-u.s.
You find your name beautifully written on
card laid upon the plate, before the seat
you are to occupy, and the entertainment
begins. The cooking is generally French
cooking, the wlres costly and rare; and you
will soon have an opportunity OF hearing
,he'"grsat man" talk. You need no. te
informed tha. Bfr. BuehsRan is one Of the
most delightful dinners in the world. He
has fund Of small talk for the ladies',
variety Of old-fashioned anecdotes, and as
he is By no means sparing Of fhs justice Of
the grape, he Crews more easy, and afable
end more agreeable as the repast gees CT,
calling out enc efter the other Of the conpa-
ny and paying compliments 10 the ladies'. &C.
casionslly taking wine with them. YOU
never ask the President 10 take wine with
you, but wait 10 be invited by him. After
remaining in this delightful society for sew
eral hours, at given signal from the Pres
ident the company rise, return to the recip-
lent room, where they are served with cof-
fee and lrqueura, or, if they prefer it, with
brandy, after which you take your leave
and go home to remember the hOspitalities
you have enjoyed. Some Of these dinners
are dull and stately enough, bu: l have
known them TO be as delightful as the mos
genial could desire.

The Maiden and the Hero.

"A
was sent witha message from General
Green TO Count Pulaski, noble POlander,
who took a prominent part in our struggle
for fresd,m. He was quartered in a nsa.
farm house near the upper forts. After our
business was finished, the Count asked me
to take some refreshments, and at the same
time called out:
MARY, my lass, Mary"
In an instant rosy cheek girl entered,
her lace beaming with joy, it would seem,
at the very sound Of PuIaski's voice.
"Did You call me, COUNT" said the maid
den, ti,nidly.
How often have told you, little love, Z"
he SAID, bending his tall form TO kiss her
cheek, not 10 call me Count: call me dear
Pulaski. This is Republic, my little IA
vOriie, we have no Counts, you know"
But you are Count, sir, when at home,
and they say you came a long way over the
ocean to fight for U.S."
Yes, Mary, very true-I did come a
long wsy-the reason was l had TO coms.
Now, can you get for this gentleman and
myselfa little refreshment? He has a long
way to ride tonight"
Certainly, sir" and she went out Of the
room like fairy.
Fine, pleasant girl, said Pulaski, would

half the youth hereabouts after her sweet
