WHITE HOUSE \ n
Frozen Punch that Would Lay
Out Veteran Drinkers.

Washington Post.l
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes gave an elegant
dinner last week to Gen. and Mrs
Grant. No wine was served for the
regular course. but the usual way OF
avoiding the rigOr Of the temperance
edict Of Mrs. Hayes was found in the
free dispensation Of frozen rum punch.
This punch was strong enough to
make any old drinker intoxicated. No
one of the diners was able 10 eat more
than two glasses. 1t was estimated
by one Of the guests that there was
nearly a gill of Jamaica rum TO each
glass The Hayes family partook Of
the beverage very freely, Senator
Edmunds, who was present, said to a
gentleman sitting near him This
would be perfect ifit we're hot" Such
a strong punch was unknown to other
guests who make no pretense Of great
temperance pe~culiarities.
The new china service which has
Just been purchased for the White
house was used for toe second time
The first time it was used was at the
dinner President and Mrs Hayes gave
to General and Mrs. Garfield during
their recent visit here. The Aar mirror
covered with flowers, which is Away,
used at the state dinners, lay through
the center of the table, and from
the center of this arose a tall tower
Of choice roses. At each plate wa,

for Mr.. Oliver. If the people of
Allegheny county favored one man
above all others for the senatorial
chair, that man was unquestiohably J..
g. Moorhead, and had their plainly ex-
pressed preferences received the con
sideration 10 which they were en-
titled, the legislative delegation would
have put themselves sQuarely upon
record in favor Of his election. Thev
did not do this, however, because
Cameron, who has always found his
most %servile tools in Allegheny, de-
creed otherwise, aud ordered that
the mantle of their endorsement
fall upon a man Of UnQues-
toned sympathy with the ring. In
spite Of the emphatic declaration Of
Allegheny county for Moorhead, one
Of the most formidable demonstrations
of its kind ever witnessed in the state,
the politicians, acting under the iBspi-
ration OF Cameron, Quay and their
clan, have succeeded in throttling
public opinion and pledging the dele
cation from the second county in the
commonwealth to the support Of a
man who finds but little favor among
the people. Whether this triumph Of
! the machine will prove the ~rallying
point of a movement powerful enough
to break Grows ranks and rout his
forces, or furnish the opposition with
weapons of war against the ring, is a
matter dependent very largely upon
the temper Of the people whose trust
has been betrayed. We incline to
think the action of the members from
the state Of Allegheny will operate
indirectly to the benefit Of Grow.
