When it Is remembered that the
Anchor Line have orders to carry
government supplies for the over
flowed sufferers free of charge, it
would appear as though there must
be mistake somewhere. The two
bit storage on rations intended for
destitute nelghbors is all right; no
man is compelled to receive gratuit-
Gus food for starving customers and
store it till distributed, and that two
bit should be paid. We will vouch

rne Pre,..ident.a Mor. n.

+ The Washington writer Ofthe Courier
Journal says there are thirteen horses
i'm the Presidents stable, five OF which
belong to the Government, and are used
in connection with the Presidents office
or for work in the grounds. A pair OF
them are sometimes driven in u plain,
close carriage belonging to the office,
i'm which, when one Of the Presidents
secretaries or clerks is sent on business
any distance, he rides.
OF the eight horses which belong TO
President Arthur, four are those which
he uses when he is driven fourth hand;
i'm his landau, or when attached to
either of his other carriages, they are
driven i'm pairs. These are bays, and
have this week been clipped. They are
Hambletonians, hear. The President,
his SOB, his daughter and his private
secretary each have riding horse which
they use. The Presidents is sorrel,
and is named "Coquette." That on
which his little daughter ridcs,very well
is black, and was her dead mothers
riding horse. 1t Is named Sailie Howe,
possibly for the New York lady who
was, / am told, one of Mrs. Arthur's
bridesmaids, and was at one time the
wife of Col. Frank Howe. The horse
the Presidents son "Alain" rides is
chestnut. He has a pair OF horses for
driving to one-seated buggy. One OF
these is named Olga, the other Hero.
The name of each horse is over Its stall.
There are also two fine dogs belong
ing to the the establishment-one a
valuable setter, the Presidents own
property, and the other shepherd
dog, little Miss Nellie's pet. The latest
addition to the number OF carriages is
the brewster Victoria" mentioned In
q former letter. 1t is very handsome
and has the Presidents coat Of-arms on
it. The ground Of the shield is red aud
the devices thereon are in colors. Above
is an eagle. The motto is Tmpelle
Distant" This carriage has light
springs and rumble.
When President Arthur decided to
drive the four.in-hand he made the
cOlOred coachman, Albert, blissfully
happy. He used to be General Grants
coachman, and remembers with pride
driving his four-in-hand, in which Mrs.
Grant and others of the family rode,
but General Grant rarely. Albert took
such delight in driving four horses that
lady who was out with Mrs. Grant
one day told me that they were driven
past all the houses where negroes lived
in the city, instead of spending all the
time on the principal streets. Mrs.
Grant explained that Albert was 80
proud of driving her with four horses
that he never failed TO show the estab-
Iishment off to the colored people Of
the town. Albest was retained by Presi-
dent Hayes at General Grants request,
and often implored him TO set up Q
'four-in-hand," and was greatly grieyed
that he would not. He has been re-
tanned ever since the Grant admiBistra-
ton, and now feels his glory restored TO
him,

How 20 Reach Children.

At recent Sunday School Congress,
held at st. Louis, the Rev. J. J. Mer-
rill spoke some homely but wholesome
words about the best way to reach the
hearts of the young folks. He believed
that no one could hope To win boys and
girls who did not retain his manhood.
They cannot be flattered by syllabub.
None but class OF dead beats of the
free soup order would fail to resent be-
ing called sweet boys-sweet young
men, as the speaker heard worker adj
dress company OF youths. Ii was al
most more than genuine boys and girls
could endure to be called dear young
people. There was something about q
healthy young boy or girl which caused
them to be attracted by strength and
intrepidity. They would rather be
driven than coaxed, but preferred above
either method to be strongly led. A
nice young man with u sweet lisp, hair
parted in the middle and waxed mus
tache was more in place in q dancing
school than i'm pulpit, with the boys
and girls looking him through. A fussy
old man who could only drink one
kind of tea, and never was so happy as
when he was toasting his embroidered
slippers over the CRATE, could do more
at sewing societies than among the
rising generation. Ii was the rough
and ready Peter who was hidden to feed
the lambs. To win boys and girls to
public worship, we had to present the
youths side OF truth. Some one had
said that truth was spherical. To have
that sphere touch boys and girls the
young side should be turned toward
them. Boys and gihs needed the same
truths that their seniors did. No greater
mistake had been made than by those
who thought that child talk could be
childish. Some men had so long re-
gaTded and represented truth as q thing
adapted to adult minds that they never
could catch glimpse Of the forms that
would reach all minds.

LEFT ON AN ICE FL0e.
Wounded Seaman Abandoned In Arc
tic Waters by n WhaIer.


Can't. Richard Cogem, of the whaler
Rainbow, is charged with abandoning
Seaman Edward Lee, wounded and
bleeding, on an ice foe in the Arctic, on
the 18th of last June. The case Is being
investigated by Commissioner Sawyer.
According to the statement OF 3. -
Jewell, one of the Rainbow'sr crew, a
whale had been raised oil She morn
ing of the day, in question, and four
boats under command first Othcer
Gilley in the steam launch started in
pursuit, the witness being i'll Fourth
Mate Wallace's boat. The whale was
not sighted and Second Officer John
Corrigan and his boats crew waited in
a hole in the ice TO see the whale spout.
While thus waiting, COrrigan'S boat
was stove in the bottom and the report
of a gun was heard, whereat all the
boats came up, surprising from the re-
port that whale had been struck. Cor
rigan made known that he had "lost a
man" but the witness heard no reply
to the first officer'squestiOn of"Where's
the man"n The fourth officers boat
thcAtook in tow the injured one the
crew Of which was engaged I'm battling
her out to keep her above water. The
small breeze which had been blowing
when the boats started out had become
harder and harder and the ice was clos
ing in all around so as to make escape
from the hole most necessary. Reach
ing the ship, Third Mate George Neville
volunteered to go after the lost man,
but COrrigan replied that it was OF no
use as he was dead.
The Rainbow sailed of from the dan
ger from the Running mass of ice and no
attempt at rescue was made. Accord
ing to the witness impression Lee was
in the bottom of the second officers
boat and he did not know that such
was not the fact until the Rainbow was
boarded. A few days after, when Oft
Cape Hope, some Indians came aboard
and one of them said that white man,
with a wound in his arm, had been
recn afioat on an ice-cake, but whether
dead or alive nobody could tell.
