How President Arthur and Ex-Secretary
Evarts Appeared TO a German Journalist.
Dr.. Paul Lindau one Of the Willard Excursionsts in
Boston National Zetung.
The festivities in the Hotel Lafayette were
participated in by several people who can
claim special attention. There was in the
first place, the President of the United
States, Mr.. Arthur who had just returned
from the Yellowstone Park, and whose sun
burnt conf lexion told of it, that ne had Just
been enjoying good vacation. President
Arthur makes good and distinguished
not high, but weIl-made forehead
little stumpy nose wears his mustache
and side-whiskers cropped short and his.chin
smooth shaven His eyes are not very large,
but unusually animated and of very sympa-
thetic expression. His figure is tall and
elastic, his carriage faultless, He dresses
with great care, even with certain couuetry
He looks more like an Englishman of noble
birth than like an American. In his entire
outward appearance he is very different from
his predecessor, General Grant, who was
also among the invited guests.
Very interesting, however, is the head of
Mr.. Evarts formerly Secretary of State, who
is considered one of the greatest orators and
wittiest after-dinner takers in the United
States. This he knows, of course, very
well, and the minute he opens his mouth
his whole face is lit UP by q feeling of SOW
ereign superiority, of happy self-con-
tentment and imperturbable assurance.
This mouth has opened frequently;
that is easily seen. 1t possesses the agility
of a virtuoso, and its dimensions are Of the
proudest The mouth is the ruling feature
of this face No mustache is permitted to
hide the strong lips, their wrinkled sur
roundings and the cheering apparatus. The
face is small one, cut sharp, and has a
shrewd expression, which is anything but

Webster's Oratory.

Political Recollections by George W. Julian.
| heard the famous Seventh of March
speech of Mr.. Webster. To me his oratory
was perfect surprise and curiosity He
not only spoke with very unusual delibera-
ton, but with pauses having no relation
whatever to the sense. His sentences were
broken into the oldest fragments, and the
nearer was perplexed in the endeavor to
gather his meaning, In declaring, for
example, that he "would put in
no Wilmot proviso for the purpose of a
taunt," ETC., be made long pause at Wilmot,
perhaps half minute, and finally, having
ap'.a~'@tly recovered his BREATH added the
v d proviso," and then, after another con-
81 rable pause, went on with the sentence.
T. speaking seemed painfully laborious
q 1t drops of perspiration stood upon
LIS forehead and face, notwithstand-
ing the slowness of his utterance
gsesting,. as a possible explanation, a
very recent and heavy dinner, or greatly
troubled conscience over his final act OF
apostasy from his early New England faith.
The latter was probably the truth, since he is
known to have long and seriously pondered
the question of his ultimate decision, and
with his naturally great and noble traits of
character he could not have announced it
without manifest tokens of uneasiness.

The Latest Fancy in Needle-work.

| PHILADELPHIA Press.
The newest idea in art needle-work is tinseE
mbroidery-not the spangles and pointruese
stitched in gold thread which have been sd
long used-but raised flowers and fruits arr
tistically done in tnsel, with leaves wrought
in chenille or arrasene. For this the fruit on
flower is first shaped in tufted cotton WOOL
which is afterward carefully and closely cow
cred with the tinsel thread, giving the raised
effect, on which much OF the beauty of tho
work depends Toilet sets of pin cushion
and bottles in satin or plush are very elegant
In this work, which is also effectively used
on screens and on panels. The prettiest Cd
all emproideries are, however, those done irt
ribbon and arrasene or chenille, with the
petals of the flowers in wonderfully natural@
looking bits OF ribbon of plush or velvet, while
leaves and stems and vining is in shaded ar
rasene or fine chenille. Roses, red and white
wild roses, sweet-briar Marechal Neil and tea
binds are alike faithfully copied in these MAJ
terlals A beautiful mantel mbrequin isl
OF garnet plush, with branch of wild roses
trailing across its whole length. the blossoms
IN natural size, of pink silk, artistically VI
folded and the buds bursting from calixes
and shields of green chenille, while the leaves
and stems are wrought in arrasene. The
design on an exc uisite screen is golden rod
and sulnac in feathery chenille, while per-
feet sofa cushion shows wreath of roses in
pink plush with arrasene foliage.
Water-lllles, with velvety-whlte petals, arel
another charming fancy in this lovely art
mbroidery-indeed, flowers of all sorts are
reproduced rather than initiated therein.
The work IS not difficult to anyone accus{
toned to needlework, still it requires skill
and dexterity as well as neatness of execu1
ton. When badly done it is abominablel
Still, for those who cannot do the ems
broidery satisfactorily, there are plenty OF
appliques all ready to be put on anything
which it is desired to ornament. Roses oH
all sorts, pansies in satin and velvet com
bined, hydrangeas, tulips dahlias, fuchsiasa
morning-glories, all flowers, i'll fact, are of
fered for choice, at very moderate prices.

SHELBYvILLE, Dec. 25.-The further taking
of evidence by the State in the trial of the
Kennedy McCorkle case, was discontinued
until Wednesday morning on account Of the
illness of William +. DAWSON, one of the
jurors, who was reported as unable to attend
court. He will probably be well enough
by tomorrow, so that the trial can
proceed The State expects to be through
with their testimony by noon tomorrow.
Public sentiment is largely in favor of the
young man who is now on trial for his life,
and this is the feeling OF the public, notwith-
standing the bloodthirsty utterances that
emanate from the Shelby Democrat, edited
by Scott Ray. The following are the latest,
