a Laughable Attempt by Ulysses and his
Gang to Our-Drink Simon Pure
Democrat.

WASHINGTON, March 90 A little event |
happened at the White House the other |
night which shows exactly how important |
it is for Kilbourne to keep the secrets IF |
the ring. Gec Grant, finding ki!bourne's
condition perlous, made up his mind to
hold a secret consultation with the friends |
of the ring in both houses of congress, and. |
to carry out his plan, made up list of
names which he handed to his new secre-
tary, Ulysses S. Grant, Jr. He directed
this young gentleman to go to the members
personally aud give them the presidents
compliment, and say that he wished to see
them at dinner On the following evening.
The list, among other names, included
that of Senator Sargent, of California, a
known friend not only of the District ring,
| but of every ring in congress during his
term Mr. Grants Ulysses junior has not
been long in the Office of secretary. and is
not familiar with his fathers handwriting
On going to the senate, when he reached
Sargent's name he innocently supposed it
to be meant for Salisbury, and to the un-
speakable amusement of that venerable
Democrat, whispered tremulously in this
car The presidents con- mphments, and
won't you come to Dime. tomorrow eve

aware of the blunder that had been made,
calmly assembled on Thursday evening
and. while waiting for the full number, the
door opened and the servant announced

could not have been more surprising or
more unexpected Saulsbury's lank form
was euoased in fu. dress, and he ambled
over to the president with benlgnance beam

He thanked the president profusely for the
honor and pleasure of the invitation, and
struck up facetious conversation with
Garfield and Hurlbut. who weic hrocked

sively for the consideration of the secrets
of the party. Gen. Grant left the room

sptcial dispatch TO the 81. louis Republican.
DAVENPORT, To-, March I8.-There is
a Beecher case in the German Lutheran
church here. Some time ago there was q
division in the membership of the church
on account of the acts Of the pastor, who
was accused of very improper intimacy
with young lady of the church. In con-
sequence, he was forced to resign. The
pastor who succeeded him took up the
quarrel and now there is trouble OF the
worst kind For week; controversy has
been carried on III the columns ct the
German papers, and such terms as liar,
swindler and seduoer are applied to the
pastor and some of the members. The
quarrel will probably disrupt the church.
