cial.
When Prince Arthur was in this city
he was, of course, much honized and
very elegantly entertained. just pre-
vious to his departure Sir Edward and
Lady Thornton issued cards Of invita-
ton for a magnificent ball TO be given
at the Masonic Temple. The most
elaborate preparations we're made to in
sure its success. Artists we're engaged
for days in decorating the room; flags
from the war department and navy-yard
we're supplied in abundance; the caterer
spent bis time between here and New
York; our modistes worked day and
night, and sent from their shop-rooms
superb creations in lustrous velvet and
sheeny silk to be worn on the night
Lady Thornton was besieged for cards,
not only by people of distinction in town,
but New York and Philadelphia add
ed their voices to the clamor. Ru-
NOR ran rife as to the ladies'
with whom he would dance. As
in the story of Cinderella, the
heart Of each Republican princess
was elated by the hope that she would
be honored with his hand. It vas an
nounced a few days be'ore the ball that
Lady Thornton had prepared q list of
names from which partners for the dance
would be selected. It soon became
known that one or two Of our leading
society girls we're in the confidence OF
Lady Thornton, but were pledged to
secrecy. We cant take time to tell Of
the efforts made to find out from them
what they knew; their frmness in refus-
ing to give up their secret alienated
friends, made enemies aud was product
i've Of the most dire results. The night
came; the fashionable crowd gathered;
the ball vas opened BY Lady Thornton
and the Prince. When the notes Of the
frst waltz sounded, Prince Arthur ad-
vanced to where Miss sherman was
standing, with some friends, and ssked
the pleasure Of her hand Looking at
him for q moment, she replied, slightly

VINO was Oliver CROMWELL ?

Cromwell was an English soldier who
signed the death warrant of Charles l.,
and seized the government by force. he
caused the death of 1000 persons in the
Catholic church of Drogheda, and 300 in
the Bull in Wexford, with numerous
other slaughters elsewhere. He exter-
minated numbers of Irish women and
children to the West Indies. He confs-
Gated numerous Irish estates and gave
them to his soldiers. He left 5000 per-
sons in one battle in Scotland, and then
read the lI7th psalm over their dead
bodiesl He died 2l4 years ago in Lon
don, and was buried in Westminster
Abbey. In three years his body, with
those Of two of his brutal companions,
were removed, and dragged about the
streets of London, after which their
heads were taken off and placed upon
spikes in front of one of the London
bridges. This was the end OF Oliver
Cromwell, according to DR.. Lingard.

THE HITLER SIDE.
nY JoHN w. CHADWICK.


Climbing the mountains shaggy crest.
wondered much what sight would greet
My eager gaze whene'er my feet
Upon the topmost hight should rest.
The hither side was all unknown;
But as | slowly toiled along.
Sweeter to me than any song
My dream Of visions to be shown.
Meanwhile the mountain shrubs distilled
Their sweetness all along my way,
And the delicious summer day
My heart with rapture overilled.
At length the topmost hight was gained;
The hither side was full in view;
My dreams-not one of them was true,
But better far had l attained.
For far and wide on either hand
There stretched valley broad and fair,
With greenness flashing everywhere
A pleasant. smiling, home-like land.
Who knows, thought. but twill prove
Upon that mountain top of death,
Where we shall draw diviner breath,
And see the long-lost friends we love?
1t may not be as we have dreamed.
Not half so awful, strange and grand;
A quiet, peaceful. home-like land,
Better than e'er in vision cleaned.
Meanwhile along our upward way
What beauties lurk, what visions glow
Whatever shall be. this we know
Is better than eur lips can say.

pleasant remark, and took his place at
her side, where he remained until Les
Lanciers were called, when he took Miss
Sherman and the head of the set. The
effect can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Bellies whose heads would have
been turned by the invitation thought
her insane, and her refusal was soon the
topic of ballroom conversation. The
Prince was frequent visitor at the
house of the General, and Immediately
upon his return to England sent com.

A Beautiful AlIegOLy.

From the Nation.I
Once on time leaf was heard to cry
and sigh, as leaves often do, when {
gentle wind was about. And the twiG
said:
what is the matter, little leaf2'
"The wind" said the leaf, lust told
me that one day it would call me of,
and throw me on the ground to die. I"
The twig told it to the branch and the
branch told it to the tree.
And when the tree heard it, it rustled
all over, and sent word back to the leaf:
"Do not be afraid, hold on tightly,
and you shall not 60 off until you want
to.
And the leaf stopped signing, and
went singing and rustling. And so it
grew all summer long till October. And
when the bright days of autumn came,
the leaf saw all the leaves around be-
coming very beautiful. Some were scar
let and some we're yellow, and some
striped with celors. Then it asked the
tree what il meant. And the tree said;
"All those leaves are getting ready to
fly away, and they have put or these
colors because of their joy"
Then the leaf began to want to go,
and grew very beautiful in thinking
about it. And when it was very gay in
colors it saw that the branches of the
tree had no color in them, and SO the
leaf said:
"Oh, branch, why are you so lead
colored and we so goldenT
I'VE must keep on our work-clothes,
said the tree, "for our work is not yet
ended but your clothes are for holiday
because your task is over.
Just then little puff Of wind came,
and the leaf let 20 without thinking of
it, and the wind took it up and turned it
over, and then let it fall gently down
under the edge of fence among a hun
dred other leaves, and it never walked
up to tell what it dreamed about.

The Rev. Arthur Edwards editor Of the North

ter IS IN unfermented wine created such aston
ishment at the recent ministers meeting, has
printed his screed upon temperance. in which be
labors vallantly with tirosh, yayin. and shechar,
to chow that the Bible condemns the use Of fer
mented wine. Upon these points and the exact
significance and application Of these terms for
VINE. in its various stages. the Rabbi
Felsenthl has 30 completely demolished
the Rev. Edwards, in his communications
to TIE TRIBUNE, that there is nothing
left to be said There is another point, how
ever, which needs some little notice. The Rev.
Edwards says: It il as legitimate for us to
claim tha. it there is but one Bible vine it was
always unfermcnted, as for others to say that
that one kind was ALWAYS fermented-" In con-
sidering this point, it Is only necessary to show
where the ReE. Edwards unfermentad theory
will land him.

committees have been organized in Boston and

The German papers have been raising great
howl about the bill defining and limiting the
rights OF citizens which is now pending in the
House Of Representatives. Special objection ls
urged to section declaring AZ not subject to
the jurisdiction Of the United States naturalized
persons who shall be arrested in their native
land for crimes committed prior to their.
emigration to This country. There il
no doubt that the position here assumed is in
accordance with sound international law. At
any rate. the section complained OF is covered
by treaty stipuiations with Norway, Sweden, the
North German Union, Austria, Bavaria, md Bel
GUM; and does not affect the great majority OF
naturalized Germans in the United States.

THE VETO MESSAGE.

Tho Presidents message returning the Senate
Currency bill without his approval has theme1it
OF being short and pointed. To understand the
veto, it is well to understRnd what the bill pro-
vided. It declared that the maximum amount
OF United States notes should be four hundred
millions OF dollars. This had been the original
limitation; in 1866 Congress authorized con-
hundred and dfty-si1 millions. In 1867 Con-
gress repealed the authority to reduce the
amount Of currency. The amount Of outstand-
ing notes remained unchanged until in 1872, the
c1igencies Of some spectators in New
York enabled Secretary Boutwell, to discover
that the forty-four millions OF notes redeemed
aud Cancelled in 18G6-'67 were q preserve"
which the Treasury might issue or not, at its
discretion; and be thereupon ordered that sew
eral millions Of this currency should be placed
on deposit in New York to make the market
easy. This matter was investigated, and the
Senate Committee on Finance reported that the
reissue Of any portion ct the 81, 900, 900 WAS
unauthorized by law. However, in 1873, when
the panic came. the President and the Secretary
repeated the operation, aud issued, from ti1ne to
time, 926, ZOO. 900 Of the S OK, 900 Of so-cAled
PRESERVE" When this bill passed Congress, the
amount Of United States notes actually outst2nd-
ing WAS 7382, 900. The bill, as it passed the
House, WAS intended tolegalize the questionable
act Of issuing the reserve Ut all, and the limit
Was placed 80 as to include the whole Of it. In
addition to this, the bill authorized m In
crease Of e46,000, 600 Of National Bank notes,
placing, however, some important restraints
upon the banks. This ia the bill the President
has vetoed.
The President, in stating his objections, ad-
mita that it is Questionable whether the bill
