A Severe Cold Causes Acute Neuralgia.
New YORK. Sept. 12.-Mr. Curtis tele-
graphed thee hicagolnter Ocean last night:
PresidentArthurh has been very muchunder
the weather all day. The heat and the
fatigue of attending Secretary Folger's
funeral have been too much for him. He
came from a cruise ON the sea to New
York, took the train for Geneva with the
thermometer at 95o. travelled all day,
then attended the funeral with its
attendant excitement, sat in a
crowded church for two hours
with the temperature at height that
tested human endurance, and then re-
turned to New York by rail in the same
boat. On the return trip he sat in a
strong draft, the result of which was a
severe cold and acute neuralgia. He was
under the care of a physician all night,
and yesterday had his head bandaged
with hops and other hot congresses,
which brought him much needed relief
Yesterday he had tooth extracted, after
which the pain subsidized considerably
He sat up last night, but his face is very
much swollen and he still suffers good
deal. AS soon as he is able to leave the
hotel he will go over to the summer home
of Secretary Frelin ghuysen in New Jer
sey, and spend several days there. He
does not expect to return to Washington
before the 1st of October.

Immense Political HIeeting-A Reply to
Hendricks.

In the evening Gen. Logan spoke at
LeaguePark to one ofthe largest audiences
ever assembled at political meeting in
this city Previous to the meeting there
was a parade of the Plumed Knights and
other Republican organizations number
ing nearly thousand torches. Cover
nor Charles Foster presided, and opened
the meeting with brief speech, after
which General Logan was introduced
amid great cheers. He began by briefly
reviewing the history of the Republican
and Democratic parties from 1860
down to the present time, claim
ing that the only monument
erected by the Democratic party in
this country has been its course
in relation to free trade. 1--WE will
not say" said he ''that they are acting
the part Of agents Of the British govern
ment, but do so, misguided though they
are. They performed the same service
for the> British government while they
| had the power in this country that the
Lords of England would have performed
if they had had seats in the Congress Of
| the United States of America" Gap.
| plause.) AS another Democratic monu-
ment the speaker cited slavery and its at
tending evils, including war;
In reply to portion of Governor Hen
| bricks speech last night, General Logan
said: Mr.. Hendricks last night, if he is
correctly reported in the newspapers,
stated to his audience that the Republi-
can party had been derelict in its duty
toward foreigners in this land, who had
been permitted to suffer because of the
failure on the part of the Republican
| party to perform their duty Now l am
sorry that Mr.. Hendricks made that state
ment For forty years, as is known by
every reader of political history in this
country, and l speak of that
time because of the fact that the
Democratic party controlled this
| Government nearly all that time, foreign
governments, led by England, announced
the doctrine that "Once citizen always
a citizen" While the Democratic party
stood in control of this country for the
length of time l have mentioned, let my
friend Mr. Hendricks point out one
single statute enacted by the Democratic
party declaring that citizen of the United
| States should be protected, whether he
was native or foreign born, when he
passed back to his native country. Never
was that doctrine enunciated until the
PnIluhlnnn. narkU announced that doc
| trine. "
General Logan went on to remind his
hearers that the emancipation proclama-
ton had been bitterly opposed by the
Democratic party, and concluded with a
powerful arraignment of that party,
which elected long and loud applause.

New York Tribune.
Two weeks ago the Democrats were
saying: "Ol course, we don't expect to
make any impression on Vermont, the
rock-ribbed, tower, crested fortress of Re
publicanism'' and they didn't. Then,
despite their desperate but concealed eff
forts in the Pine Tree state, they declared:

gain anything there" Sure enough,
they lost to the tune of 10000. And
now they explain: The Democrats never
did carry Ohio in a Presidential contest;

win in that State" And they probably
won't. All this reiterative hedging, how.

he deserved wife who could love
him.
Your father has told me you
have no love to give me but that you
will marry me. |, too, once thought
l should never love again, but the
sight ofyou has dispelled the illn-
sion. Let me tell you my story.
Long years ago l loved beautiful
young girl and she returned my
affection. l was then young and
did not dream that Fate would
crush out my souls dearest hope.
That fair girl was my all, my very
life, and ! had not a thought Of the
future separated from her. Her
father was wealthy merchant and
l his poor clerk. When I told him
l loved his daughter he spurned me
from his door and ordered me ney-
er to enter it again. Oh, who be-

out as her especial favorite. My

ful and money accumulated as ifby

say that all the old love surged up
in my heart again? Once more l

daughter the speakers lips trem-
bled; he extended his arms as he
continued-"and he consents at last.
Oh. Mary! will you now be mine?"
Mary cast herselfinto her suitor's
outstretched arms. After all these
years Of misery Felix was restored
to her!
Felix Traford gasped the
old man as he started to his feet.

Yes, sir, the same. Do you re-
tract your promise?" .
No, Felix, no. Take my Mary
and forgive her father
The happy suitor led Mary away
to seat and sat beside her with
his arm still encircling her, as if he
feared he might lose her again.
Let u.s. he said, 'forget all the
