Yesterday morning Rev. E. MEIsTER,
pastor of St. Stephens Evangelical Luth-
erau church, was 'surprised' by the mem.
bers of his congregation, as an expression
of their appreciation Of his labors. The
pastor received some timely, substantial
and valuable gifts for household use and
sum Of money.
One Of the petiferous Southern Repnb
licans" called On the president to urge
the retention of Secretary Hunt in the
cabinet. He was not very much gratified
with his reception. The president said,
"You are undertaking to prescribe
member Of my cabinet for me, but do
not think can take prescriptions of that
kind" The president further intimated
quite plainly that he did not desire any
volunteer advice on the subject Of his
cabinet that those whose opinions he de-
sired would be asked to give them.
Two car loads of Cincinnati excursion
lists for the great cotton exposition took
with them as a tribute to Atlanta floral
ship, fac simile of the City of Richmond,
of the Inman line 1t is full-rigged and
is fifteen feet long. The hull is of white
chrysanthemums, the rigging poles of
smilax the matches are orange chrysan-
themums the smoke-stacks rcd carna
tions the life boats red geraniums, and
the anchor is of purple immortelles. The
deck is ornamented with sprinkling of
calias, and the vessel sits on a sea formed
of Gala leaves. Another piece eight feet
high represents the celebrated Arch Of
Triumph at Paris. The two pieces cost
$500.
Another reason is developed for Arthur's
alleged resentment at MACVEAGH. 1t is
understood that after the shooting of
President Garfield the attorney general
was persuaded into the belief that Guiteau's
act was the result of conspiracy, and
that there were several parties to it. He
instituted an investigation through the
regular detectives of the department Of
justice and others specially employed, and
large portion of the contingent fund of
the department was squandered to work
out this theory Friends of the president
intimate that the investigation was con-
Quoted Oh the idea that Guiteau had ac-
compliccs or sympathizers personally
interested in a change of administration
and very close to those now i'll power.
A correspondent who visited the royal
palace at Turin, with its three hundred

When PATTI sang for the Michigan suf-
fercrs in New York the other night, the
chairman Of the association under the
auspices of which she appeared: GEORGE
by making q fool of himself. After get
ting his committeeman to bob up and
down every time she came or went, San
ders inflicted long and dull speech on
the disgustcd audience. At one point he
large green wreath, decorated with stream
ers of rcd, white and blue, and in the
other silk flag. Approaching Nine.
Patti and disregarding the Kisses, laughter
and .jeers of the audience, he said 81 am
now called upon to add one one more to
the many laurels you have won, and with
this wreath, in the name of his honor the
mayor, to crown you empress of song of
both continents. This speech ended.
Mr.. Sanders endeavored to put the wreath
over Nine. Pats head. BY very nat
ural impulse, for the wreath was of over
whelming proportions, she avoided him.
He persisted, the audience repeating and
rcdoubling its laughter and Kisses. AZ
last to escape, Nine. Patti darted off the
stage. Mr.. Sanders started off in hasty
pursuit, with the streamers of his gaily-
decorated wreath flying in the air. Mayor
Grace seized Sanders frantically by the
coat aud tried to hold him fast, but hc
broke away and disappeared suddenly, TO
the inexpressible disgust Of the audience.
When Mr.. Sanders reappeared, there were
more Kisses all over the hall, and cries of
"Put the fool out, and "We'vc had
enough Of that. "
