POLITICS AND FEASTING.
A Notable Gathering at jefferson Al
nIversary Celebration.

"A NobdDie UaIneflDg at JeherSOn An
nfversary Celebration.
CHICAGO, April 12,-A banquet was
given at the Palmer House tonight, to
mark the anniversary of the birth of Thos.
Jefferson, by the Iroquois Club. An in
formal reception took place at the
hotel during the forenoon, and a
great number called to pay their
respects to Senator Bayard, who
had been named as the chief orator of the
occasion, and whose utterances were ap-
parently looked forward to with some an
tcipation, possibly, of radical statements.
The banquet was an elaborate affair, and
the number attending exceeded
800. Senator Bayard, in response
to the toast "Our Country"
after paying a compliment to the city of
Chicago and to the company assembled,
and summarizing the greatness of the
nation and its resources in eloquent
strains, of which no adequate idea can
be given within the limits of telegraphic
item, proceeded to forecast the future.
He said: sit is impossible to mistake
that in present indications so manifest
and abundant that we are soon to be- wit
nesses in the election of 1884 of splendid
and potential proof of popular wisdom
and power to redress grievances to re-
form unwise policies, to rebuke corrup-
tion and purify and strengthen popular
institutions by driving out of the temple
of our liberties the mercenary and ma
chine politicians who have betrayed the
popular trust and disgraced and degraded
the administration of IOur government"
Hon. Jas. o. -Broadhead, of Missouri,
replied to the sentiment, ''Thomas Jeffer-
SON."
Colonel w. f. Villas, of Wisconsin,
dwelt at some length upon democracy"
past, present and future.
Hon. Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, re-
piled to the toast, '"The Constitution"
i. p. Wheeler, of New York. President
of the Free Trade League, responded to
the toast, ga tariff for revenue only"
Temperance virtue, prohibition II
vice." was replied to by j. q. Jenkins, of
Wisconsin.
In place of Henry Watterson, of Ken
tHcky, 1.-THE Democratic Press" was re-
piled to by William Henry Hurlburt, of
the New York World.
''The Great Northwest" was responded
to by General j. c. Black, of Illinois.
"Monopolies shall net rule" received an
appropriate response from Hon. William
NJ. Springer, of Illinois.
''Public office public trust,7 was re-
piled to by Mayor Carter Harrison, ofChi
cago.
This completed the programme, which
lasted until late hour. During the day
the rooms of the club were filled with Wis
itors, and Presidential chances were can
vassed at length. The general drift of
opinion seemed to favor S. j. Tilden for
the Democratic standard-bearer in 1884.

THE VAIN OLD WOMAN.

There was once an old woman SO
very poor that she had no house, but
lived in a hollow tree. One day she
found a piece of money lying in the
road. Full of joy at her good for
tune, she began to consider what she
would buy with the money.
eff l get anything to eat," she
said to herself, 81 shall quickly de-
YOUR it, and that will be the end of
the matter. That will not do at all.
If 1 buy clothes, people will call me
proud, and that will not do; and be-
sides l have no closet to put them in.
All, 1 have it! I will buy a broom,
and then everybody | meet will think
/ have a house. A broom is the
thing. A broom it shall be-
So the old woman went into the
next town and bought broom. She
walked proudly along with her pur-
chase, looking about her all the time
to see if people noticed her and look
ed envious, thinking of her house
But as no one seemed to remark her
she began to be discomfort
ed with her bargain.
"Does everybody have q house ex
cept me?" she said to herself, cross

else -
Presently she met man carrying
a jar Of oil.
"This is what | want" exclaimed
the old woman; ''anybody can hav'
house, but only the truly rich cal
have oil to light it with
So she bartered the broom for th
oil, and went on more proudly thai
ever, holding the jar so that all coul
see it. Still she failed to attract an
particular notice, and she was NOR
discontinued. As she went moodil
along she met a woman with bunc
of large flowers.

But still she failed to attract attel

her that she might be mistaken for
