he believed that had any other general had com.

the same physical and moral support that Grant

THE WHITE HOUSE.
Large Number OF Visitors whom the
President Daily Receives.

Among the peculiar ambitions of the American
citizen on visit to the NATIONAL Capital is to
gratifya burning curiosity to see and shake hands
with the President The throngs OF people that
have been doing the city this winter have not been
exceptions to this particular weakness and there
has perhaps never been an occupant of the presi.
dental chair who has been so accessible to the
public as President Arthur. How he finds the
time to see so many visitors and yet attend to the
public business is a matter of general wonder.
Still he does It, and the large number of people
that come to the White House all have chance
TO see him. Amidst the rush of congressional WIS.,
itors and office G-seekers who have to be seen the
President sends out word that he will SEQ what is
technically knownas
THE "REsPECT" VISITORS.
Then the guardians at the foot of the stairs and
at the Presidential door stand aside and the pub
lie pour in II Is curiosity to see the crowds that
go In. There is no distinction made and every
body is admitted, Some days there as many as $50
of these visitors. The plan gives general salts
faction, because II affords q privilege which was
never before so generally accorded and which is
say that they have seen the President is of
GREAT SATISFACTION TO AMERICAN CITIZENS.
The present arrangement Is very democratic,
and places everybody on an equal footing, so that
the humble, obscure citizen has as good chance
prominent member of society. These little in
formal receptions are very pleasant, and the
President always has something to say which Is
agreeable TO each of his visitors The Democratic
style of doing things under the present Admin
istration meets with popular approval,

The authorities at Washington were
seized with strange prejudice against
the harmless words "School Hill, and
refused to so dub the post Office located
at the place popularity known as School
Hill. But the people Of that section
were willing to accept a change. Not
that they loved "School Hill" less, but
that they loved post Office more. Now,
why should Timothy be good enough

Line for one in Two Rivers, or Louis
Corners for one in Schleswig, or st. Wen
del for one in Centerville, or st. Nazians
for one in Eaton, or Tisch's Mills for one

Gibson, or Green Street for one in Coop
erstown, and School Hill not good enough
for the sand lot part of Meme?

Italy and Spain have long been noted
as the habitat of beggars. Europe as a
whole, rather takes the lead of all other
grand divisions in the number of those
who ask their bread of chance and not
of toll. Thurman is said to have ex-
pressed regret that he had not seen
Queen Victoria or Bismarck while on his
European trip, as he could then say he
had met two persons who didn't want a
siXpence from him. But the United
States are developing considerable talent
in the soliciting line. Every society Or
gained, every church established, every
public undertaking, every ball, rattle, dog
fight, every set of vagabond musicians,
every political movement, stands with
hat in hand and words of entreaty on the
lip. There is no public place where peo-
pie congregate to which man can go
and be exempt from the entreaties of
some organization in need of little
money. 1t is impossible to walk the
streets without having opportunities
buzzed y your ears and hear the con-
slant refrain "give US something for.
The heather is in need of little more
pigment with which to properly adorn
his person or band of musicians are in

The New York papers are discussing
the question How to Keep Cool, and
talk about going to prayer meetings and
having misunderstanding with girl, or
wearing cabbage leaf on the head, and
various other devices, while we up here

eye on the festive granger when mounted
on pile of wood. "No sight is more
dear to our childhood" than a good load

number of schools that employ lady

IN MEMORIAM.

BRETHREN-An alarm has sounded at our in
ner door and one of our Pillars has been trans
ferred to the Grand Temple on High, On Sab
bath evening, June Is, lSsa, brother o. X. Bacon
was called TO rest
.'Then in death his eyelids close
Calmly, as to nights repose
Like flowers at set of sun.
Your committee are but expressing the uni
versal opinion when we say he was hoi.sst
man and gentleman in all that correct def
inition of these words imply. He was modest
and retiring ir his disposition. bur kind and
courteous always. A nan of rare good judg
ment, he was respected ard honored as citi-
zen- as christian, and as Iemplar. His in
tegrity was never questioned, and lis life was
filled with acts of beneficence. His example is
worthy of emulation, because his character was
spotless. His influence for good viii long be
felt. In the silent and sublime tabernacle of
our thoughts. that serene ABODE where corrup-
ton has no hold, we will cherish and revere his
name.
He surely exemplihed the words of the poet,
Think truly and thy thoughts
Shall the worlds famine feed:
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be a fruitful seed;
Live truly and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.
In view of the above facts permit us to offer
the following resolutions:
Resolved, that by the death of brother o. r.
Bacon this Lodge loses member who gave
dignity and power to its teachings, and that by
his culture, his energy and his conscientious
ness he won the respect of all.
Resolved, that his fidelity to every trust has
been of the most conscientious character, to
the performance of W hich duties he devoted his
intelligence, time and patience with unremit-
ting zeal, contesting vigorously for right, and
yielding no points when principle might be
compromised.
Resolved, that our lodge-room be draped in
mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, that in our deep sorrow we unite
with the family of our deceased brother in seek
ing consolation from Him who alone can con-
sole. We tender them our heartfelt sympathy
and invoke heavens blessing upon them.
Resolved, that these resolutions and pream-
bic be spread upon the records, and a copy sent
to the family.
Respectfully submitted,

THE advancement of time shows that
even the opinions of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher are liable to change. A few
years ago he considered state prison

good diet for working men to use, and
one with which they should be content.
He now proclaims it as his opinion tha
the strikers demands orc Just, aud that
inasmuchh as those engaged in the strike
are popular educators" they should be
encouraged in the good work they have
undertaken.

FIRE.

This morning between the hours of II
and the large brick building formerly
used as store by J. E. Plat was dis
covered to be on fire. The fire had made
considerable progress before the alarm
was given,-in fact it must have been un-
der way for at least an hour and finally q
family living near were aroused by the
breaking of glass caused by the intense
heat. The question which every one
asks is, "Where were the watchmenl"
One of the late appointees, it is said, is
more on the streets through the day than
through the night. This matter needs q
little investigation and We shall give some
attention to the matter next week.
There has been no fire in the building
for fully year, and nothing in the quar-
ter where the fire originated that could
cause spontaneous combustion, SO that
the hand of an incendiary is apparent.
The point at which the building was fired
was chosen with reference to its escaping
observation until well under way. The
loss is quite a serious one to Mr.. Platt,
amounting in all to about 50, 900 without
any insurance. 1t was one of the finest
buildings in the city, but being little
off the street in which the current of
business runs, it did not rent readily.
