THE PRESIDENT AND THE MILLION.
AIRES.
Missouri Republican.

The people of the country are not dis
pleased that the president should leave the
capital and mingle with his friends for his
personal enJ oyment for the purpose of
familarizing himself with the temper and
wishes of the great body of citizens. That
he should prefer refined and elegant asso-
Citations is what they would expect of their
chief magistrate. But it is not altogether
agreeable to the popular taste that Mr..
Arthur should always be chronieled in the
company of the ostentatious rich, the
guest of none but millionaires and seated
at the right hand only of the vainest and
most noted of the rich parvenues of the
east. Outside of army and navy circles
one looks in vain for a name at the presi-
Dental entertainments of an individual not
distinguished for his millions or his frivo-
lous devotion to fashion, and therefore for
nothing else. In truth a modest profes
sional or business man or a devotee of sci
ence or literature could not hope to ac-
ceptably entertain our republican chief if
his tastes are such as his constant associ
atoms indicate. He can scarcely fail to
know that the attentions bestowed
upon him and the adulation of
the vain if not vulgar set at the
Eastern centres of fashion are won by the
SLdtlOH ne OCCUPIES, anu not by any &C
knowledged abilities of his, or public servic-
es rendered the country A mere custom
house clerk as he was would have contin-
ued to be despised by the persons who now
patronize him but for the prize he drew in
the lottery of assassination That he
should find pleasure in min istering to the
vanity Of a class whose only motive is to
make the first office of the government sub
sidiary to their own efforts to build up SO
cial distinctions based on money and ex-
travagant display does not indicate those
superior and admirable qualities in Mr. Ar
thur which the bsst class of Americans
would delight to honor in the President
1t would not be true to say that the recent
accounts of his reception and the truly re-
gal entertainments OF which he has been
the central figure in the houses only distin-
guished for vast wealth and little else is a
surprise to intelligent people, The events
alluded to are in entire accord with the
character of our accidental president. But
it is absolutely true that the impression
created is distasteful to the great body of
the people, and pleasing to no judicious
p rson whatever.

A True Dog Story.

The animal in this case is owned bya
party residing within a few rods of this
office, and the facts come directly from
the family. The dog is a white terrier,
of most affectionate disposition, and
when she meets with any stranger to
whom she takes fancy she will 60 to
him. sit up on her hind legs, and reach
out her fore paws for recognition. A
day or two since boy called at the side
door to beg for something to eat The
dog trotted TO the door with the servant,
who told the beggar she had nothing
"Give me only a piece of bread. " said
the boy. The girl answered they were
out of bread, and that she was baking
at that time. Meanwhile the dog was
momentariiy missed, but quickly return
ed bearing in her mouth large piece
of bread that had been previously
thrown TO her to eat She went direct
ly up to the boy, extended her paws
with the bread in her mouth, and offer
ed it to him as intelligently as any mute
being could do. the girl WAS actually
frightened at this remarkable exhibition
of Intelligence on the part of DUMP
animal. -RocheSter Union

Isabella Jackson, colored woman, was
placed on the witness stand in Tennessee
court during the trial of a man accused of
beating several women in the neighbor-
hood. She began her evidence, but was
soon after interrupted by the justice, who
asked: do you not know you are ~
ing2" She answered: Eyes sir" Ac-
cording to the historian who describes
what followed, these were the last words
Isabella Jackson ever spoke. She APP
peared quite independent, and to some ex-
tent impudent when first put upon the
stand. After her last remark number of
questions were asked, but the woman
made no reply. Believing she was sham
ming, the justice directed a constable to
escort the witness from the court room,
but when ordered to follow that officer she
did not move. Two men of her own color
were then told to carry her out of the
room. While in the act of carrying out
the woman it was observed that she was
in helpless condition. She had been
paralyzed in every part. Her limbs were
motionless, her tongue had no power, and
it soon became apparent to all present
that the hand of the Almighty had been
laid heavily upon her For two hours, or
thereabouts, the woman remained in this
passive state, after which she was placed
in wagon and conveyed to her home,
where she died the following day." 1t is
unfortunate that this awful visitation
came too late to have any effect on the
the star route witnesses for the defense.
