THE PRESIDENT IN SOCIETY.
A Flying Visit TO New York 10 Attend
The Debut of Miss French.

NGr York Coz. ChirdQ" Tribune.
One of President Arthur's most init.
mate friends in New York is Seth Is.
French, the wealthy cotton exporter.
Last summer the President visited Mr..
French at his Newport villa, and was
his guest for several days. The friend
ship is not at all Of political nature.
1t is entirely personal. In society circles
II has been vaguely limited that there is
another reason for this intimacy. Mr..
French has a daughter, who is one OF
the handsomest young ladies in New
York. More of a blonde than brunette,
of faultIess feature, and the carriage OF q
queen, Miss Mamie has had numerous
tutors ere she approached eighteen. 1t
is no wonder that the President is one of
Der admirers,
This afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. French
beld reception at their home, No. 10
West Fifty-tiith street, to introduce
their daughter in society. Nearly 6Oo
guests were present. About seven
O'clock carriage drove up to the door
and out stepped the chief executive
alone and unattended. He was ushered
into the house without ceremony, and
there greeted with pleasant smiles. His
presence created a genuine little sensa-
ton, but he made it understood that he
came as plain Chester A. Arthur, and
so conducted himself. If he did not
enjoy the reception, appearances Boiled
themselves. During che hour and half
he WAS there he was in close attendance
upon the young lady il whose honor it
was given. At length, when nearly the
last guest had taken his leave, the Pres
ident babe a reluctant adieu and started
for his carriage. He proceeded to the
residence of Mr. Charles +. Miller, his
old law partner, where he had spent the
afternoon. At midnight he took his car
for Washington, accompanied by his
sister, Mrs. McElroy. President Arthur
came from the White House to be pres
ent at Miss Nannie's debut. Neither
bis apartments at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel nor his political chums saw aught
Of him. On arriving in the morning he
was driven al once to Mr.. Miller's resi-
C,enCe, where, after a rest, he carefully
dressed himself for the evening. 1t Is
needless to say that Murray Hill circles
are in a hutter of expectation, and
Brooklyn is plunged into gulf of de-

We see it stated that at Waco, Texas,
recently, u lot of women had dumb

that the dumb supper didn't speak a

be dead-could sit even one minute
without speaking.-Kentucky State

A new invention has been discovered
by the ladies to kill of the surplus in

can now get their compilations by the

An Astonishing Fact.

We do not realize that we are grow
ing old until it has become an accom-
plished fact.-ChIldren grow up around
US, but we get used to that, and seldom
stop to compute their ages and realize
the swift flight OF the years. In fact, our

is always the fair young bride Of the
old and happy days. And 80 with the
husband-to the wife. Though his hair
might have grown gray in some way
which We do not understand, and his
firm step may seem q little less elastic
or firm than 1t was, the husband does
not seem to have changed much after
all. The friends of our youth become
gray-headed yet they are not old. Some
ope-he may have been philosopher
has said that II We doubt whether we
are growing old, we should look In the
face of q friend we have not seen in
twenty years. The writer tried that q
few days ago. He did more; he looked
In the face of . friend he had not seen
for nearly forty years. What his
thoughts of him were he does not know.
They are both too polite to express their
thoughts. he knows he kept wonder
ing, and wonders yet, what had hap
pened to his friend that he should look
so very old. 1t was shock to him, and
brought him face to face with an unwel-
come fact.

HOW THEY WORK 1T.
The Manner in which Some Fraud
InnIs

The Manner in which some Frauds
Secure Goods,
A reporter in conversation with gentle
man at the supply depot of the Fifth and
Sixth wards, yesterday, learned more Of
the great number ofimpostors who daily
apply for food and clothing.
There" he said, pointing TO a woman
very poorly dressed, with an old shawl
over her head, lis woman whom we are
continually bothered with. She loafs
around here necessarily, almost, and begs
for food and clothing"
"Well, why don't you furnish her with
them and let her so"
Good reason enough, should say. Her
husband owns several houses, and only
yesterday they both got il here in the
rush ard secured two immense bssketsful
of provisions and clothing. They are
known now, however, and can get nose
ing, but she loafs around continually"
Just at this instant she importuned Col.
White for assistance, who. knowing her
condition, said politely:
"Ofticer, please show this lady the door,"
and she decamped empty handed.
Another case occurred where q woman
applied for assistance without an order.
and two gentlemen were sent to her house
which is near the corner Of Main and
Twenty.siIth streets, to investigate whether
she needed anything or not. The lady re.
where water soaked bed-lounge was sit.

brought forth q dolmsn which was also
rather damp and muddy. Now" said
she, II don't want any provisions or any
clothing. All want Is to have this lounge
replaced by new one, as this is too much
damaged 10 use any more in the parlor,
and will only do for the kitchen. And
just look at my dolman, one that I paid
twenty FIVE dollars for; it is just ruined
and not at to wear. It's . perfect shame,
two articles replaced, and won't ask for
any more"
And the gentlemen rushed out Of the
house ole going to dry goods store and
the other to furniture dealer. But to
satisfy yourself as to whether this woman

Little More Advice to. Young Men

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Young man, if you are not rich, and
can get only lazy and extravagant
wifi, DSltS1 ISr4aair, s;~ele- The wor,ac
who goes into matrimony for an easy
life Of it; who labors only in studying
places for squandering your money;
who spends timein wearing fine clothes
and giving and receiving visits; who
must have one or more servants; who
will not look out for economy in the
kitchen and other departments of the
household-if you marry such woman
before you have secured very large
income your nose will be kept to the
grindstone of poverty and toll always.
Few men can stand up well and long
under slavery of this kind. Their
ambition collapses, and they settle down
to abject, hopeless penury; or they COM
nit suicide or run away as defaulters.
Let us again enjoin you, if you can get
none but lazy, extravagant wife, and
are fully persuaded that you can no
longer exist in "single blessedness, I"
get unto you big loaded gun, and go
into the woods and shoot yourself.
Better do this right now than endure
the torment that is surely laid up for
you and others for whose welfare you
would make yourselfresponsible.
