PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation OF
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

submits as u duty. The really enjoyable
entertainments are the official receptions,
the State dinners and the select social
parties which are made up from the inner
circle of distinguished people.
There has been rumor often repeated
that Mr.. Arthur wants to marry again
1t is an actual fact, as the writer knows,
that certain rich widows and aspiring
maidens have made the pilgrimage to the
Capital to tempt the fates in their favor.
But this eligible match is still open to fair
rivalry. His intimatcs say that his
domestic tastes arc strong, and he would
not be averse to matrimony il suited. 1t
may be fairly expected that this fact will
add piquancy to the gossip of society this
winter. Among the foreign legations
here will be quito a rivalry for display.
The Russian Embassay will occupy the
elegant mansions built by Boss Shepard
for his own use in those golden days
when he was Governor of the District and
prince of contractors. 1t is now being
decorated and furnished in style which
it is claimed has never before been at
tempted in this country. The Russian
Minister is determined, it is said, to out
strip all rivals in the magnifccnce of his
entertainments and the gorgeousness of
his displays. His palatial house will be a
second Kremlin wherein all the gayeties
of the aristocratic court of Russia will be
produced. All this is brough about by n
strange fact. The predecessor to the
present minister did not enjoy a high
character among trades-people, as Gus
toner. 1t is claimed that the diplomatic
barriers in the way of collecting domestic
accounts were absolutely insurmounta-
BILE. And it is now said that these facts
coming to the ears of no less person than
the august emperor of all the Russians
that the Russian Embassy at Washington
shall wipe out this stigma by lavish
extravaganza and display. This is good
for the grocers at all events. But it is
also said that the French, Spanish, Japa,
nese aud Chinese legations are making
arrangements to entertain in great style.
All this, with what can be done by resi-
dent milliondires, aspiring presidential
candidates, aggressive and wealthy poll
ticians and the like, promises to keep this
city in whin of excitement all this
winter.

Cricket,

On Saturday afternoon last, the Della
ware eleven of Wilmington, won n third
successive victory from the Belmont third
eleven of Philadelphia. The Quacker
City and Hdverford clubs were the pre-
yious victims of Delawarc's excellent
playing. Play began about II 80 A. NJ.

single interruption caused by some we'll
filled baskets being brought on the
grounds, and some ginger ale which was
used by the players to quench their thirst
The Belmont team was considerably
mixed in the grade of players--from first
juniors to first eleven. Belmont had the
first inning, and made but thirty-iive
runs. Dolaware's first inning proved the
the better Of the two, and they returned
to the shade Of the big oak tree, satisfied
with flfty-one runs Belmont scored
thirty-eight runs in the second inning,
while the Delaware team after securing
nineteen runs in their second inning,
retired feeling satisfied with the game,
but we were much interested in Satur-
days exhibition. Mr. VIM. Homewood
is a great lover of the game, and always
makes it exceedingly pleasant for visiting
elevens.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.


Your correspondent learns that the
President proposes to lead society him
self this winter. The executive mansion
has been undergoing repairs and redeco-
rationg all summer, and is now much
more desirable as a residence, and more
suitable for the tasks of entertaining than
ever before. The Chief Executive has
decided penchant for social pleasures, and
his good taste in all such matters is well
known. The White House under his
quiet supervision has come to have about
it an air of refinement, taste and elegance
which is quite an novelty. He himself
seems to be DESTROYS in an transformations
way to impress this distinction upon his
surroundings. think, in fact that he
excerpts the title OF a polished gentlemen
with satisfaction, and is rather proud OF
it. He always dresses in fashionable
attire, wears seasonable flower in his
button-hole, and is the glass of fashion
and mold of form in appearance and style
Among his intimates he is said to be
extremely easy in conversation and most
cOrdia, in his manners. His acceptance
of many social attentions at Newport are
of course to be repaid in like coin, and
the leaders of society, so-called, are quite
congratulating themselves on the prospect
of lionizing in the White House this
winter. But while il is difficult matter
in these sarcastic times to lead in fashion
and save oneself from ridicule, there ii
nothing Of the dude about President
Arthur. He is independent enough to
select his associates in accordance with
his own tastes, but do not think that he
will allow his dignity to be sacrificed on
the social altar. He cultivates society
more as relief to hard headed, wearing
work than as an occupation of itself. The
The President still occupies his summer
residence at Soldiers Home, n quiet
secluded spot which he likes very much.
The White House has been closed to Wis
itors since early summer, and has been
given over to carpenters and decorators.
He will occupy it about the first of
November, and the season will then open,

that any definite programme has been
prepared for the winter, but there will be

entree to the better class affairs. The

Our New Press,


We received, the early part of this
week, new improved Campbell country
press. 1t came all the way from Taun-
ton, Massachusetts, and the time we had
in getting the heavier parts up on the
second story floor was immense. We
first secured 1lr. Singles, with his block
and fall and some hundred yards heavy
rope, and then we invited a lot of our
friends, who happened to be standing
looking on, to assist us in the prodigious
work of hauling it up the broad flight Of
stairs. Well, we were working steadily
and earnestly and doing what we thought
was right, when we were arrested in our
plans by Isaac. He just showed us a
wrinkle or two worth knowing and sue
cess attended our endeavors. Isaac was
inclined, at first, to think we disregarded
his wise suggestions, and left us, saying
as he left that Common sense ought to
teach us that" and not putting Isaac's
suggestions into execution, that gentle
man "stood on his dignity" He actually
left, but was not gone more than three
minutes before he was back and making
more suggestions. This time he was al
lowed to assume full control of the "hist-
ing" machine. The ropes were skilfully
manned by a determined set of men at
the head of the stairs. The monsuous
piece of machinery was finally landed
safely at the desired place, and every
body took II breathing spell The other
and lighter portions of the press were
next brought up. For the assistance
rendered us VIC feel extremely thankful,
and hope in the near future to reciprocate
in kindly manner to those who so gem
orously gave us their aid. The press pur-
chased is piece of machinery capable
of doing the finest work 1t can be cal
endsred to work off visiting card, or,
on the other hand, of doing the best work
in the way OF posters, all sizes and kinds.
What we want now is work, and plenty
Of it, and we promise our patrons that
all work entrusted to our care will be
promptly and neatly executed.

GOTHAM GOSSIP,

Poor Helyn Leonard. For loving the
ancient beau Callahan, not wisely but too
well, and shooting at the woman whom
she believed was alternating his affections
from her, she is now doomed to three
years and half in the penitentiary. No
one expected such a verdict. Even the
court officers thought that if the jury
would not find her not guilty, on account
ment in which she was at tho time of
shooting Mrs. Smith, and which il was
not actual insanity at least bordered on
it, they would at least disagree. Moth
ing can be done here without betting,
and thus the odds were three to one
against a verdict of not guilty, and even
that they would disagree. The trial was
exceedingly well managed by her coun-
sci, but yet they failed to convince the
jury. The blow was very hard on the
poor girl. Her former employer in whose
family she served as goveness, told one
OF her lawyers shortly before the trial
ended that if the jury disagreed, and she
was admitted to bail pending new trial,
he would furnish it, and take her back to
his family in tho capacity of governess,
and thus give her chance to reinstate
herself in public opinion. All this is now
over. What the poor thing win do after
her release it is hard to say. Everybody
felt sorry for her. She was SO refined in
her manner, and although her infatua-
ton for the man who betrayed her, was
a piece of arrant folly. yet there was
omething so tragic in it as to inspire the
utmost sympathy.
