EU7'Uelts Not SaNISbst7'U,

A few days ago the President wished to
consult in an informal manner, with the
Ringers of the District and their Congress
sional hackers, some matters of Importance
10 his household. The private secretary of
the President, Ulysses 8. Grant, Jr., was
handed by his father q list of the persons to
be summoned to the Presidential dinner
table. Later in the day he went to the
Capitol and personally presented the Prest-
dents compliments, with the request that
each person waited upon would be at the
White House to dinner that evening. Gen.
Garfield was among the first called upon.
Then, looking over the list, he saw the pre-
fix Sem, which he thought meant Senator,
and the angular writing of the President led
him to read the line as Senator Salisbury.
To that venerable and gentle Senator from
Delaware young Ulysses presented his
fathers compliments and requested him to
be at the White House promptly at O'Clock
that evening.
At the appointed time the guests were all
In attendance. No one was so bland and
polite as Senator Salisbury. The PresldeLS
saw the mistake, but it was useless to at
tempt to correct it then. Senator Salisbury
remained until so late an hour that the
President gave up in despair, and intimated
CuaC Ne WlSucu W IcVlTe. NOW Iue Sen0C6r
who should have been invited instead of Mr..
Salisbury everybody knows was Senator
Sargent, of California. Garfield in the
House and Sargent In the Senate are the de-
tenders Of Boss Shepherd, the real estate
pool, aud all the other profitable rascalities
which have cursed the District for six years
past. Young Ulysses was upbraidod for
having made the mistake, and defended his
action on the ground that he was not famil-
lar with his fathers handwriting and did
not know who his Ring friends were ~.

The Success Of a Wilaringto" Carriage
The carriage trade has for years been one
of the most important of the industries Of
our city, and that firm engaged in the
business is warranted at the present time

to establishin another city, extensive
warerooms, will strike every one
as an indication of the healthiness Of
the trade. One of our Oldest firms, that Of
Gregg & Bowe, whose mandatory is sit
uated at Eighth and Orange streets, has de-
termined to establish in Philadelphia a
large exhibition and sale building, and on
Wedne sday last commenced to tear down
the old Barkly building at the southeast
corner of Twelfth and Arch streets, prepar-
atory to erecting finer edifice four stories
high and forty-four feet on Arch by one
hundred and thirty-eight on Twelfth street,
as an exhibition building for their trade.
The building will be brick, with an iron
front, and handsome in appearance.
Tho firm expect that the building will be
ready for occupancy by the 1st of June.
They will continue the manufactury OF
carriages in this city, and will use their
Philadelphia building simply for exhibit
tion and sale. The firm of Gregg & Bowe
is one of the Oldest carriage firms in the
city, having upon the 5th Of the present
month completed the twenty first year OF
their business history. They are the sue
cessors of Alexander Jemmison, who had a
