A Beautiful Scene.

Early in the evening, while the forces were assembling, one of the events of the evening occurred at the residence of ex-Speaker D.
 R. Wright, being the presentation of an ele- cant gold badge and beautiful bouquet with
 silver holder to the D. R. Wright Zouaves,
 Captain Loomis, by German friends of Col.
 Wright The company received these gifts while en route to take their places in the grand procession. The residence presented an elegant sight, ablaze with beautiful Chi nese lanterns and Illuminated brilliantly with a constant discharge of red fire. Each win dow in front was decorated with Japanese
 balloon lanterns. Lines of the same radiated in every direction from the residence over the lawn, giving it the appearance of being cano- pied with the pretty and brilliant illumina- tions. On the portico porch, upon damask background in silver letters, were the names Garfield and Arthur, and above were fine pictures of the candidates. Arou nd the DOT tals of the house were also Chinese lanterns, and these with other decorations, arranged under the tasteful supervision of the colonels son, Arthur B. Wright, constituted one of, the most beautiful spectacles of the evening. The presentation was made by a young lady,
 Miss Jennie A.Nepel, very attractively attired representing the donors. She very happily spoke of the desiresof the donors to'add this tribute to the Zouayes who had adopted the name of their distinguished and honored friend, whose friendship they were proud to claim. Capt. Loomis rendered thanks to the lady and the doners, and the time permitting no further stay, three rousing cheers were given the donors and Colonel Wright, the drums struck up and the Zouaves marched out of the enclosure to the point of destina-
