When Gen. ARTHUR left New York for
Washington this morning, there were
men who took him by the hand to say a
kind word to him who have been his life
long political opponents, and there werc
others who, though of the same party,
have lately been estranged from him, not
less anxious to assure him of their sympa
thy, all of which was received with feelings
of the sincerest and most grateful apprecia-
ton. Arthur's birthplace was near the
Canada line. on the Vermont side, the Sun
declares after searching inquiry.
Whereas she used to dress with rich and
refined plainness Mrs. A. T. STEWART
now wears all that the most stylish and
exacting of dress makers could demand in
fabric and cut, and her toilets are as many
rs belle could boast in her first season.
At 4 recent garden party she wore white
brocaded satin, thick and heavy enough
to stand alone, as our grandmothers put
it. 1t was flounced with deep point lace
over white satin plaitings, and the cor,
sage was cut with narrow V to fit a
broad collarette of the same lace. A large

showing my letter of Introduction to thosa

latter. Herr Stern seemed so delighted,
as he said he had great admiration for the
doctor, and that he when in New York,
as we'll as in Germany, had read his
Anxious Bench with much benefit
Again did he ask me to permit him to see

OF the Arabian steeds presented to Gen.
GRANT the story is told that when the
horses were delivered to the American
official deputed to represent Grant ht
found that, through some hocus- -pocus o
the employees of the Sultan's stables, ont
of the horses selected had been exchanged
for 4 dismal beast, lame and generally un
sound. Fearful Of offending the Sultan by
refusal to ship such an animal, Yankee
sent for the high and mighty Turkish
official who had the matter in charge, and
regretfully informed him, that though
Gen. Grant was enchanted with the two
noble steeds that were accorded him by
the munificence of the Sultan, he would
unfortunately, be unable to use the black
one, as horses of that color were only EN-.
ployed for funerals in America, and to
offer or accept one as gift was held to be
an exceedingly bad omen in this country.
The courteous Turk was profuse in civil
ties and apologies, the black horse was
taken away, and a sound and handsome
animal of gray color was sent in it's stead.
