come the lucky owner Of the cele-
brated thoroughbred horse, Stanley,
has issued card of terms, &c., for

Whip, and the great dam was of the
Hunter stock, from which Flora
Temple descended. Stanley is

The NEW MEMBER. "A new member OF

visit q vassal, and the more rural the dis

ed with this idea. One such a specimen
came to the White House yesterday. His
hat and coat, which had evidently inst
come out of country store, were drench-
ed with rain, but in spite of these adverse
circumstances his dignity of manner was
OF the starchiest kind. Walking into the
corridor with lofty air he attempted 10

interposed. Gazing upon this official With

1t was after the time for the President TO
receive callers, but he could send up his
name if he wished. Producing his card
he stood in gloomy silence awaiting the
answer. Presently the messenger return
Ell with the word that the President could
not see him. The representative of the
sovereign people wore q look of blank
establishment, and then his dignity began
to ooze out from his fingers and wherever
it could get an outlet, and he went out of

THE PENSIONS ARREARS AcT.-Thc bill

repeating the outrageous job called the
Pension Arrears act should be passed
We are in favor of paying the veterans,
widows and orphans of the war every
penny to which they are entitled; but the
scandalous statute which was passed by n
Democratic Congress and sanctioned by
the administration of Mr.. Hayes. opens
the door to so many thousands of fraudu-
lent claimants that the only wav TO pre-
vent them from robbing the Treasury is
to repeal this iniquitous measure. If the
bill is allowed to stand, u large percentage
OF the millions of money il calls for will go
into the pockets Of the lobbying LAWYERS
and claim agents who secured its passage.
When it is repealed, as we hope it will be,
Congress can easily agree ON bill which
will meet the case of the honest, WORTHY
claimants and exclude the impositors in
whose interest the late scheme was de-
vised. q

minute he would have been unable to

must have suspected him OF crime.
