ARTH UR'S SWELL DINNER.
In Which He Fixes Up The Ward
Buns of New York.
IWash, Cor, Toledo Journal

w ash. Cor. Toledo Journal.
There ia some comment here among those
who are opposing President Arthur's presi-
dental ambition over a dinner Arthur re-
Gently gave at the White House to a few of
his old cronies. The table was arranged
the same at a state dinner. Among the
guests were Barney Biglin, Clint. W Wheeler,
Bob McCord and Jake Patterson, all alleged
New York waru strikers. The gentlemen
were accompanied by their wives, and with
them were got up to suit the honored occa-
sion of dining with the Chief Magistrate OF
this great nation, Mr.. Arthur escorting Mrs.
Biglin to the table, and the dinner passed
of with great gusto, the President having
the party make themselves thoroughly al
home, and doing the honors to their entire
satisfaction.
Tue matter has been kept quiet as pos
sible by the President, but the New York
delegates are now considered solid for Ar
thur. This 10 the most avowed bid the
President has made for the nomination at
the coming national Republican conven-
ton.

Whereas, In several states which have no

elusive control OF all federal appointments
has in many cases heretofore been left en-
tirely to the wilt and caprice of state CEN

people, and too often controlled by a single
individual; and

TIE LOVE OF noel VANE.

Nestled away among the mountains of
Pennsylvania is the lovely littls town of
Bedfordyille, wheve lived not many years
ago widow lady by the name of Vane,
with her only son Noel. His father bad
been a Philadelphia merchant, but, dy.
ing suddenly, left his wife aud boy with
n small income, barely sufficient to sup
port them. Mrs. Vane therefore deter
mined to leave the city and remove TO
Bed!ordville, where she owned a little
cottage, and could therefore live without
extravagance; and, having by economy
| saved up considerable sum of money,
she made her arrangements. aud after a
short time was gratifird with the thought
tua. her boy was a st dent in the Uni
versity ol Penusy lvauin. Being possess
ed of IA tine mind aud pleasant manners,
Noel soon won his way to the hearts of
professors and Students and after year
returned home with the knowledge that
he stood at the head of his class.
During his vacation Noel amused him
self by hunting and fishing in the day
time, aud spending his evenings at home
with his mother, who daily looked with
more and more pride upon her noble
boy.
Returning from n hunting expedition
IN the mouutains one day, our hero
came out of the woods into a carriage
road just in time to see pony, with II
young girl mounted upon his back, dash
rapidly by, pursued by half dozen
hungry wolves. The pony made but IL
lew bounds down the road when he was
seized aud almost dragged to the ground
by the fierce brutes, which IN moment
more would have ended the struggle had
not Noel raised his gun. aud taking de-
llberAte aim, fired twice. Two wolvt s
tel dead, and the remainder, taking
fright. fed from their unseen foe. In an
instant Noel was by the side of the pony
and lifted from the saddle the young
hardly speak. He gave her draught
of water from his hunting-hask, and in
n short time she recovered aud said to
him: Il am Judge Allyn's daughter, and
my home is only a mile from here through
the woods"
When Judge Allyn learned from his
daughters lips her narrow escape from a
horrible death. he was overwhelmed " ith
gratitude TO our hero. Mrs. Allyn and
Belle called upon Mrs. Vune; but as the
former tried to repay with money the
value Of her daughters life, Noel begged
his mother not to repay the visit; and a
few days after he lett for college, the af-
fair almost passed from the minds of the
towns people.
Upon his second vacation, Noel fre-
quently met Belle, and between them a
childish love began that promised to
ripen to a sincere and lasting affection

They found the old woman sitting on
the trunk of tree-calm and satisfied.
A germon officer who spoke French
like Frenchman, asked her;
Where are your soldiers?"
She stretched out her long, lean arm
toward the crimson mass of ruins, where
the Gre wss dying down at last, and

"INSIDEr'
All gathered about her The Prussian
asked;--.
"How did the fire starp'
She replied sonorously;
II started it,"
They could not belieYe her; they
thought the disaster had rendered her
insane. And then, while all listened,
and pressed closer about her to hear, she
told the whole story from beginning to
| the end - from the receipt of tue letter
even TO the last cry OF the men burned
up in her house. Sac did not forget one
single detail of what she had felt, nor of
what she had done,
Then, when she had told all, she took
from her pocket two pieces of paper and
in order to distinguish them by the light
of the FIRE, she coolly put Oh her glass g.
Then she said, showing one paper.
THAT Is the letter about Victors death. ;"
And holding up the other she add
ed, nodding her head toward the
ruddy ruins: .'Therel that's their names
so you can write to their folks about
them" She preseute the paper to the
officer who held her by the shoulders,
and she continped;
"Yoa can write 10 them how this thing
happened, and you can just tell their
parents that it was who did it--I, Vic
tore Simon, called La Savage! Doh't
you forget !'
The ofIicer roared out some orders in
German. They seizod her and flung her
back against the still glowing walls OF
her dwelling. Quickly twelve men took
their places in front of her, twenty yards
away. She never winked She knew
what was coming. She waited in perfect
calm.
An order rang ont, followed by long
detonation. One shot was heard later
than the rest--all by ITSELF
The old woman did not fall; she sank
down perpendicnlNrly, as though her
legs had been cut away from under her.
The Prussian officer approached to
look. She bad been almost severed in
two by the volley, and her stiilened flu
gers still clenched the letter, ali spattered
with blood.
