to take the oath of Office prescribed by
the Constitution.
The oath of Office was here admins
tered to the Vice President elect.
Chief Justice Waite then admins
tered the usual oath, to which Garfield
responded with reverential fervor. Ex-
President Hayes Immediately pressed
forward and congratulated his success
sor, and, after him, the Presidents
mother and wife, both of whom he
saluted with kiss.
A general scene of congratulation and
handshaking ensued, after which the
Presidential party descended from the
platform by private staircase and pro-
ceeded to the Presidents room in the
rear of the Senate Chamber, where an
informal reception took place.
THE RAIL-.
The Inauguration Ball in the evening
was a success, the large building being
crowded. At $50 o'clock the President
and Mrs. Garfield entered the room with
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes. The first person
to shake the new President by the hand
was General Hancock. We note few
of the toilettes worn by the ladies
present.
Mrs. J. A. Garfield wore heliotrope
satin, with the front draped with thr ee
deep flounces of point lace and around
the bottom of the front was delicate
anticipating. Mrs. Hayes wore white
satin Ell train, with the front richly en-
broidere6:: The corsage was square and
filed in with tulle. Miss Maggie Blaine
wore creme tOiic reLigieuSe, with white
satin trimmings.
Mrs. Miller, wife of Justice Miller,
wore sea-foam satin and crepe du-
chene-a present from the Chinese Am
bttSSHtOT. lHe DuJtOuS were SulOheQ
topaz. Miss Miller, her daughter, wore
a combination of white satin and white
silk en- princesSc, with the corsage cut
in n deep square, and trimmed with
lace. Mrs. General Hazen wore n pink
MORE antique silk combined with cream
colored brocade, the front being of the
last named material and embroidered
with gold, over which was q veil of

Cruelty to Cattle on ShipbOard.

The London Telegraph says that il
certain rumors respecting the intolera-
ble sufferings to which horned cattle are
subjected during their transport from
this country 10 England be founded on
fact, ii is high time that the Board of
Trade should turn its serious attention
to the subject. In all probability stren-
nous efforts will be, If they have not
already been, made by the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
to obtain official protection for the un-
fortunate creatures doomed to endure
the horrors of long sea voyage with
the shambles as its goal, in order that
English tables may be plentifully sup
piled with fresh beef. Under favorable
weather conditions bullock passes its
time ON board ship in condition of
fear and misery but "when the stormy
winds do blow" and the vessel rolls
heavily, the agonies it suffers are such
that their mere contemplation for few
seconds might melt heart of stone.
That wilIful torture should be permitted
to aggravate the already unbearable
torments to which severe gale con-
demns these wretched beasts, appears
incredible; yet we have been assured
that expedients Of such dire cruelty that
we forbear from shocking the public by
describing them are mercilessly put in
practice in order to compel oxen, mad
dened by sheer physical pain. to lead
overheard when the movement of the
vessel is so violent as to preclude the
possibility of their being dealt with by
the crew r. is q significant fact that
within the last few days, vessel which
left the Shores of America with a cargo
OF 594 live bullocks should have arrived
in the port of London with only IS of
its horned passengers, the other $40
having perished during the voyage Gin
consequence of heavy weather."

THE STORY OF THE GATE.

Across the pathway, myrtle-fringed,
Under the maple, it was hinged
The little wooden gate.
Twas there, within the quiet gloam,
When had strolled with Nelly home,
used to pause and wait.
Before said to her " Good night"
Yet 10th to leave the winsome sprite
Within the garden pale;
And there, the gate between us two,
We'd linger, as all lovers do,
And lean upon the rail.
We'd talk-in ftful style l ween--
With many meeting glance between
The tender words and low,
We'd whisper some DEAR sweet conceit,
Some idle gossip wed repeat,
And then I'd move TO go.
"Good night, I'd say; "good night-go cd
bye -
" Good night, from her. with half a sigh
GOOD night" GOOD night !" And then
And then ! do not go, but stand
Again lean on the railing, and
Begin ii all again!
ALI that was many day ago
That pleasant summer time-although
The gate is standing yet;
A little cranky. it may be,
a little weather-worn-like me
Who never can forget
The happy" End?" Ny cynic friend
Pray save your sneers-there was no "end.
Watch yonder chubby thing =
That is our youngest, hers and mine;
See how he climbs, his legs TO twine
About the gate and swing.

1" T0PEKY."

Topeka would like TO be Il some place. She
is and always has been made up of people
of peculiar cut jib. Her social jamborecs
are numerous and unique. There is no 9TH
er people in the State like her, and those
who are compelled often to 80 there are
thankful TO heaven that there amt. There
never was but one home for Strangers in the
town and that was a dirty, sinking buggy
rat-irap known as the Tofft House, which,
they say, has been torn down. In apeins,
too. not only her society but their business
methods, can discount all kDewn varieties OF
monkeys found in The forests OF Africa.
Nothing ever attempted by them, which was
not backed ey State or National money,
proved a success. Their social organizations
are of the Flora McFlimsey pattern, their
enterprises of the Col. Sellers order, their
charities mere ostentations. We might 90
on and particularize, but we won't. The
whole matter, surroundings and situation
can be summed up in that one mightily-faror'
ed and expressive word, "codiish." Their last
fool move is the organization of society
winch has been duly Incorporated, the OBJ
jects and aims of which, as set forth in the
charter, are the encouragement TO Matri'
mony." Bah. Topeka" is an Indian word
meaning small potatoes, and the name is tru'
ly applicable to the capital city OF KANSAS.

SETTLED.

The Topeka Capital, under its new man
agemment, has developed into a prohibition
organ whose radical utterances and onc-sided
conclusions startle, If they do not disgust,
honest temperance people. In face OF the
prosecutions for selling liquors instituted
and prosecuted in every county in the State,
and the repeated, continuous, and in many
places open, violation of the law. it declares
that tho question is not and win not be a
party question; that prohibition is no longer
an issue in Kansas.
Since when, pray. We run no risk OF
stretching the truth in saying that the
Capital is well aware that there is not
q town in the State in which liquors are
not sold in violation of law. If it is settled,
what mean the criticisms of eastern papers
touching circular sent out by Governor ST.
John begging for fifty thousand dollars with
which TO canvass the State? The CdpitdI
would not have its readers believe that ST.
John thinks SO much money necessary to The
triumph Of the Republican party. The Cap
ital docs not think that Amanda Way wants
fifty thousand dollars TO elect her to the Uni
ted States Senate. Then what is that lift,
thousand dollars wanted for, or are the pa
pers of the East lying, in publishing such |
statement?
No, the question is not settled, and we fea
the efforts OF well-meaning men TO keep i
out of party politics will prove entirely una
yailing. 1t properly no more belongs to TN
domain of party politics than does religion
but no human power can now keep il out @
the politics of Kansas, LET it divide and spill
parties as may. For another year, or eyel
two, it may be ignored and kept out of sight
but sooner or later the revolution will come

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 1t is reported to-
night upon good authority that band oil

picked from the soldiers of Ohio, Fennsyi-
yania. New York and the city OF Washing

that it consists Of determined men whose
mission is to ayenge the death Of the presi-

that no action will be taken and no sign be
made until the result Of the trial is known.
