Arthur in the white House.

Philadelphia Press Washington Cor.
During the first part Of his stay here
he was closely watched, and every
politician who came from New York
and boosted around the lobby at Will
lard's that he and Arthur were init
mate friends, and were in the habit of
putting each other under the table,
found willing listeners and open
mouthed believers. There has been a
good deal less of that sort of thing Of
late.
The "old boys" we're received rather
kindly at the White House at FIRST,
but the welcome soon grew cold, and
the number of convivial visitors d.
minished. All the stories about the
Presidents heavy drinking and rapid
ways Of living that were current last

Happy Mother. Happy Children

Nursing mothers should keep their
infants quiet while teething. Both
mother and child should enjoy sweet
repose. The best thing to assist nature
in bringing about this happy state Of
good health, is Browns Iron Bitters.
1t is very soothing and refreshing in
its effect. A trial proves this to be
true. Mother and child should use it
freely. If you want your children ia
be healthy and strong, give them

spring have been forgotten. Washing.
ton nolonger follows the resident with
the anxious gaze of the village gossip
or with any unkindly suspicion. Pres
ident Arthur gives the public no
ground to complain of his conduct.
He is at all times the decorous and
genial gentleman, and the White
House has rarely been freer from OBJ
jectionable callers than now.
One principal reason why Mr.. Ar
thur finds his paths lying in pleasant
places is that he does not deceive Office
seekers or mislesd them. He tells the
man who has not the ghost ofa chance
to get what he wants that fact in q
gentle and kindly way, and does not
encourage applicants whose cases he
knows to be hopeless. 1t is true that
some members of Congress complain
that Mr.. Arthur will not tell them
anything, and only the other day l
heard a Senator contrast this
administration with the Hayes adj
ministration AID declare that the
latter was more acceptable, He said
that Hayes was certainly a gentleman
and hat persons who went to the
White House were always SURF to be
kindly received and well treated. h
did not find it so pleasant to go the,e
now. However this may be, it is
worthy of remark hal Arthur as
President is not surrounded by any
kitchen Cabinet. He is reputed to
like to oblige some of the ladies in
Washington society. who now aud
then a hand in public affairs, but no
one man or woman has obtained any
such footing at the White House as to
beable to set up as a mediatory between
the President and those who seek to
ranch him
