WASHINGTON, o.. C., Jan. 1.--There was
! something Of the spirit, "The King is dead,
long live the Kfng,'' about the New-Year's
ceremonial here to-day. The populace Of
| Washington, even if the mercury does notin-
dicatc Il degrees below zero, naturally turns
! toward the rising sun. The last reception Of
an Administration is given when the cour-
tiers can no longer entertain 4 lively sense
of favors to COME, and when any 1nanlfesta-
tion Of gratitude is q duty that is easily
omitted This was the case to-day. 1t is
said that Mrs. Hayes had expected that
the White-House reception of to-day would
be the most brilliant of the Administration.
Elaborate preparations had been nude with
that object III view, but the Presidents re-
ceptiou was the least brilliant that has been
held since lie has occupied the White House.
The feast was prepared, but

Albeit the bells were tolling anthems roll
ing welcome to the coming year, the Gov
ernment gardeners were placing the floral
decorations, rare tropical plants. choice
flowers, and graceful training vines

stately room OF the Presidents man
sion. Nothing that the resources Of
the Government could supply was lacking to
make the White House fairy land. Within
there were the atmosphere the trees, the
flowers, the odors OF the tropics. The official
program, the nearest approach to cour
gazet known to our democracy, had been
announced IN a1l the lApers. The Bureau
officers had been requested by their Cabinet
chiefs, the army and navy staff had been
commanded by their respective superiors, to

REGULARS vs. VOLUNTEERS.
There is story that the volunteers tell
about these uniforms. The Jealousy between
the regulars and volunteers appears In It.
The volunteers insist that the fegular-army
officers dislike to see the volunteers sitting at
army receptions and wearing the old uni
forms Of the War, and that the new uniforms
were adopted to sustain the aristocracy aud
snobbery OF the regular army. Whether this
story is true or not, the uniform is very gor-
seous and natty, but useful only for gala
service. And the difference between this

ng young Officer, is the bagatel Of $500.

(Frem the Correspondents of the Kingston, y. Y.
Freeman
The case of Mrs. Edward Myers, of Rom
dout, New York, furnishes an apt illustration
Of woman's power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual way
for Erysipelas of the hand, without benefit
Not until her hand had become mass of pu-
trfied flesh, did she turn to DIR. Kennedy
proprietor of the ''Favorite Remedy" for
help.
He at once informed her that il was impos-
sible to save the hand-it must be amputated
She received this terrible intelligence quietly
declining to take ether, STIMULATING merely to
hold her husbands hand during the operation
and underwent the painful process without
moving muscle or uttering groan. DIR.
Kennedy then gave "Favorite Remedy" free
ly TO cleanse the blood and prevent the return
of the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and
rejoices in her great delverancc.
'Favorite Remedy" is fast becoming u
trusted household friend in all eases of Fe-
male Weakness and diseases of the blood.

@Oh, the ostriches might sit down on
your head and hatch it out.
The Ketchum keystone. (Ketchum, Idaho) 1881-1884, 1881-12-24

| stood ON the porch at evening.
When the sun went silently down;
When the June -bug bright, in the starry
night,
Flew meIrily through the town.
oh. sweet We're the gentle zephyrs
That blew from the balmy south,
Ind red were thelips, and sweet the sips.
That | took from the pretty mouth
Her tiny waist was encircled
BY my arm SO strong and true;
Said /, Whose ducky are yoo, iovesn
"Yours, Z she murmnred, whose are
You"
., the followed hours of that evening
o, the cruel caprice of -Fate'
tier fatller, unkind, came up from behind
And fired me over the gate.
