First Public Reception


at the white house on Tuesday NIGHT
Marcn 2S, was, without doubt, the
greatest crush that has been experienced
since the farewell reception before
hayes was inaugurated, closing the
Grant regime. In tact one felt the
presence Of the retired general and ex-
president In the very atmosphere.
President Arthur for the first time
(Perhaps) in his life felt little discon.
certed during the height of the excite
menu, when the moving mass became so
uncomfortable that his methodical
plans were thwarted for the nonce,
AID Tor a few moments the plebians
had the unconquerable delight of pre-
senting themselves indiscriminately.
1t may be malicious, but tits fun to mix
up a little the affairs of "mice and
men" when methodical system is their
hobby. It's like a baby running it's fin

It's like a large pig getting into an

pratles" or flower conservatory. How
well the colossal Squire stood the abuse
was soon discovered when, in a very
few moments order was restored and
the red-tape introductions again en-
forced. o! it was jolly to see the di-
vine femininity-gotten up without re-
gard to expense, and, in one or two
cases, modesty most undivinely crush
ed. In justice to our able senator of
southern Kansas, who was present and
serenely happy, we will add that he
was not with or contiguous to the above
party.

in "where angels fear to stand" and
gave Gen. Grant as hard test of pa

for with both hands shaking, he was
compelled to lean we'll forward to re-.
tain his upright position, and when the
press was hardest he was carried off
his feet few steps, when the clapping
OF hands and waving of handkerchiefs
assured him that no enemies did this
cruel deed but warm friends. He.
smiling good naturally, assured them
in return that he had not yet said
"save me from my friends" He shows
the mark of time, but is in his usual
robust health. Mrs. Grant never looked
happier, and says she is delighted to
see the wonderful improvements in and
about the white house. For want of
space we refrain from further person

They Knew His Worth.

A clergyman relates the experience
of a faithful clerk who was tempted.
but followed his better promptings. 1t
shows that dishonest men value hon.
esty-in every one else but themselves.
A young man came to a gentleman
one day with case of conscience. He
was corresponding clerk in flourish
ing house of business. His employers
had begun to direct him to write letters
to customers containing statements
which he and they knew to be false.
He had objected, and they said:
1--WE are responsible for these state.
ments; it is nothing to you whether
they are true or false"
1 said to him, "Did they sign the
letters, or ask you to write them in
your own. nameP"
AS soon as the question left my lips
1 saw if there was a difference, both
would be wrong, and I FASTENED to tell
him so
He said, Il have to sign them with
my name, per Messrs. Blank"
said, Your case is clear; you must
decline to do it."
He said, "Then 1 shall be dismissed :"
and after a pause, 81 have wife and
family"
1 replied, "My dear friend, this is a
trial of faith and principle; you must
do right. and trust to God to take care
of you and your family"
met him some days after. "Well.
Mr.-," said, show are you getting
on?'
He replied, Il am still in my situa-
ton; had an interview with the part
ners and told them 1 could not write
letters l knew to be untrue. They
were very angry, and expected to re-
ceive notice, but have not received
it yet"
Months passed and he remained in
his situation. After awhile he called
upon me and 1 saw in his face that
something had happened.
well, Mr." said, shave you
had your dismissal ?"
NO." he said, Il have not" and
smiled.
"What thenT
ga very confidential post in their
service, with higher salary, has fallen
vacant and they have put me into ii. Z"
On second thought these unprincipled
men had came to the conclusion that a
clerk who would not deceive customer
would not deceive them, and was too
valuable to be lost.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. Tt now transpires that Guitsau's bones found their way into the Army Medical Museum through bargain between the Rev. MT. Hicks and Dr. Stafford of the museum. It is alleged that Hicks cepted $500 in lieu of all claims to them. Dr. Stafford removed the flesh off the face and preserved it in alcohol, the expression being retained as it appeared after death. The bones have all been we'll bleached, but have not articulated.
 The Treasury clerks are restive under Sec retary Folgers new rules that are to be en- forced after to-day.

Only f1Ile of Them Guilty,

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-The United States
 District court was crowded yesterday morn ing in anticipation of a verdict from the
 Star route jury, which had been out since
 two o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The
 jury agreed upon and sealed their verdict
 during Friday night, and when Judge Butler
 appeared yesterday morning were ready to
 present it. Joseph R. Black the chief de-
 fendant, entered the court room before the
 decision of the jury was announced, and
 taking up seat at ono of the lawyers tables
 eagerly and anxiously scanned the twelve
 buckle, whose boyish faces have excited
 much sympathy in their behalf, entered the
 room together. Funk and Blackman also
 came in together and took up their seats aloof from the others. Foreman William P. Ellis
 stated that the jury had agreed. To the fur ther question of how they found the defend ants, guilty or not guilty, he replied, Not guilty" which caused several other of the jurors to call out in chorus that that was a mistake. Most of the twelve men were more or less nervous, and before venturing the verdict of himself and fellows again the foreman refreshed his memory from paper which he drew from his pocket He then revd: t We find Joseph Funk, Joseph Black man, Henry c. Arbuckle and William R.. Carson not guilty, and Joseph R. Black guilty, with an earnest recommendation to the extreme leniency of the court" At the instance of Counselor White the jury was then boiled and each man answered to his opinion in the same manner as announced by the foreman

His examination produced several points o1
 rather startling nature. The clear and
 concise manner in which he answered all
 questions on points which have already been
 brought out by other witnesses was calculated when the question was put to him by the plaintiffs counsel as to how many children he had he became confused and answered, " think there were eight all dead now" Upon being questioned further it transpired that he did not know the date of birth, date of death, age at time of death, sex or name of any, except one of his children, although living with his wife all the time. Neither could he answer as to where they were born. He stated in yesterdays examination that his last child had died in Sacramento, Cal, and had been taken up after being buried there and brought to Quincy, Ill where it was buried again; but upon being asked why, In 8 previous deposition, he said nothing of this, merely stating that the child was buried in Sacramento, he answered that he did not think of it. The climax was he was in Cincinnati in 1869. 1T was not" " Will you swear this ?" "I will" Are you as positive of it as you are that this woman is your wife p
 ''Yes, swear it positively, for I was in Detroit.'
 Plaintiffs counsel then produced certif- cate of medical examination made in Cincin- nati in connection with the application for insurance in Milwaukee in 1867, the certifi- cate being dated February 5, 1869.
 The agitation of the witness at this point was painful, and he was still unable to an- swer questions coherently, though he still insisted that he was William Waakerle, and said his failure to answer questions was due to bad memory. The defence closed it's case with this testimony The theory of the de- fence seems to establish the fact that this man Christ Waekerle, a brother of the plaintiffs husband, and that he has been in duced to assume his dead brothers name in order to get the pension from the govern ment, which he has been drawing for several years and that there is conspiracy to de fraud the woman. Who ths parties are to the conspiracy has not developed as yet. The defence commenced examining witnesses in rebuttal yesterday. Two witnesses were on the stand who swore they knew William Waek- erie and that the man in court was not he. The case will be continued Monday.

It will immediately free the head from all dandruff, restore gray hair to it's natural color, and produce new growth where it has fallen off.
