YOUNG ARrHuR,s Ro,1ANoE.
de EIet His Fate on the Beach 1t Nara

Letter TO Boston Globe.
Nothing has caused more talk in
Washington society than the engage
ment of young Allan Arthur to Miss
Katie Beach. AT first the. report was
not believed. Allan was considerably
too young to enter into such contract.
There is no longer any doubt about the
engagement. When Mr.. Arthur was
out west viewing the sights Of the Vel
Iowstone his son was putting in the time
at the seAshore. He received
sick leave from the college
physician. He first went to Long
Branch. Finding it dull there he joined
q party on trip to Nsrragansett pie.
During his first evening at Narragan-
sett pier he met Miss Beach. It was
late in the evening. Allan was walking
smoking a cigarette and wondering how
long he could postpone going back TO
Princetown. A lady passed him, carry
ing q small basket flowers. Allan is
nesr-sighted. He mistook her for 3
flower girl, and said: "Come
here, my good gIFl; may purchase
come of your flowers" quite like
real prince. Miss Beach laughed. As
her silvery notes rang out on the evening
air Allan realized his mistake. For
moment he stood specifies. and then,
falling on his knees, he made graceful
apology. While he was brushing the
sand from his trousers Miss Beach ran
away without making any reply. Allan
started ;a>pursuit, and got mutual
friend to introduce him. The rest fol-
lowed as q matter of course. Allan has
been very devoted 70 his sweetheart.
Allan is IN his junior year At the college
and still has another Year before graou-
atlng. He never could be called hand
some. He is scarcely twenty years OLD.
He stands six feet two inches In his
stockings and does not weigh over lao
pounds. His face is long and narrow.
He has coal-b black eyes, long, dark hair,
and very large hands and feet. In many
respects he resembles the typical SLIM
Mr. Arthur does not oppose the match.
He thinks Allan should have his own
way, so long as he keeps within proper
limit. ~ don't suppose my son wants 20
marry" said Mr.. Arthur, 'for compile OF
years yet. There will be time enough
before that time TO decide the matter.
The Beach family are highly respect
able family. It consists of Mrs. Beach,
Misses Katie and Agnes Beach. Mr..
Beach, the head Of the household, died
few years ago. leaving his vile and
children in comfortable circumstances
He was brigadier general In the Union
army during the war. He was q native
of New York state. The family were OF
early English stock. They have lived
here since the war. They have large,
old fashioned house on Far
ragut square. 1t Is covered
with moss and ivy and is Q very
home-llke looking place. Miss Beach
Is . very small blonde with bright
sparkling blue eyes and handsome
mouth. She is not remarkably pretty
or facinatiEg In conversation, but has
many little airs that are considered at
tractive.
The young people write daily TO each
other Miss Beach ties her letters IN q
little bundle with pink ribons and keeps
them in perfumed box. Ii is said that
Allen entered on the engagement In fun
and has since become very much attach
ed to his sweetheart.

Judge Harris, of Virginia. tells this

curiosity to hear what he had to say,
and feared that nobody, or very few,
would remain to listen to me as sec

terry. Approaching the old gentleman,
with a most reverential aspect and an
engaging smile. said: Mr.. Stephens,
I want to exchange places with you
In the order of speaking. ANY man
can precede, but no man can afford to
follow you in oratory.' This stroke Of
compliment and diplomacy did the
business. The Georgia sage beamed
all over with pleasure and replied that
might lead of. So contriYed to get
for myself large audience assembled
to do him honor, and had the specta-

How a Young Doctor Was Made.

About twenty years ago young doc
tor, who had been established three
years in London without making an in
come, lost heart and determined to en-
igrate to Australia He sold his small
house and furniture, paid his passage
money, and 3 week before he was to
sail he went into the country to say
goodbye to his parents. Having to
change trains at a junction, he was
waiting on the platform. when groom
in a smart livery galloped up to the
station, and, calling excitedly TO the
porter, handed him q telegraphic mes
sage for transmission. From some re-
marks exchanged between the two men,
the young doctor understood that the
Duke of -, q member of the Cabinet,
had fallen dangerously Ill, and that an
eminent physician in London was be-
ing telegraphed for. The groom added
that he had ridden to the houses of
three local doctors. who had all been
absent, and that "Her Grace was in q
terrible way" The young doctor saw
his opportunity, and at once seized it.
81 am medical man." he said to the
groom, sand will go to the hall to Of
fer my assistance till another doctor
arrives" The groom was evidently
attached to his master, for he said:
Jump on to my horse, sir, ana ride
straight down the road for about four
miles; you can't miss the hall; anyone
viii tell you where it is" The doctor
went, was gratefully received by the
Duchess. and happened to be Just in
tfme to stop mistake in treatment of
the patient which might have resulted
fatally if continued few hours longer.
The Duke was suffering from typhoid
fever, and when the eminent physician
arrived from town he declared that the
young doctors management of the case
had been perfect. The result of this
was that the latter was requested to
stay at the hall to take charge of the
patient; and his name figured in the
bulletins which were issued during the
next fortnight, and were printed in all
the leading newspapers of the King
dom. Such an advertisement is al
ways the msking of a medical man, es-
pecially when his patient RECEIVERS as
did the Duke. Our penniless friend re-
ceived a fee of 500 guineas, took o
house at the West End, and from that
time to this has been at the head of one
of the largest practices in London

A very general desire is expressed
that the Chicago convention will do Its
work In short, sharp and decisive way.
The convention of 1880 was in session
six days. which was entirely too long.
Upto that time two days had suficed in
four instances, and In the other two in
stances three days only were required.
There Is no reason why the proceedings
should occupy more than three days at
most this wear, and If it should be found
practicable to get through a day sooner
than that there would be no harm done
IN turning OF the gas accordingly.

No doubt but that many OF the dele
gstes to the coming Republican state
convention are being talked OF among
the people, and that preliminary work
II being done looking 70 their election
We take occasion this early TO call at
teDtion to some matters which We deem
Of the utmost importance, which ought
to be looked after IN the selection Of
delegates. The Interests of the Repub-
lican party are above those of
any individual who will come
before 1t IS candidate, and no sacrifices
Of those interests should be allowed Tor
the sake Of personal ambition. While
we have opposed what We have deemed
the hot headed and one-idead schemes OF
q few political prohibiiiOaists TO make
everything aubserve their personal
ends, - we'll a. those who hide behind
prohibition to further interests they are
afraid to make public, We are unAltera-
bly, opposed TO apy retrograde movement
on the question of temperance reform.
We believe 1t will be the duty of the con-
ventiOn TO express Itself uneauiVocslly
against resubmission OF the prohibition
amendment, as demanded by the Demo
cratic psrty. and also 70 DECLARE itself in
favor of the enforcement OF the law made
In pursuance of that amendment, as we'll
a. all other laws enacted for the benefit
Of society In the state. To do less than
this would be regarded as a back down
on the part OF the people of Kansas after
having gaiped substantial victory, and
the Republicans could not afford to put
themselves in that attitude.
Another measure of equsl import
ance has demands at the
hands Of the Republican con-
vention aud that Is an unLquiVOcal en-
dorsement OF the course OF the legisla-
ture in passing the act to regulate rates
OF fare and freight on railroads. Much
good work has been done under the law
passed by the last legislature and there
should be no retEOgrade steps on this
question. In fact 1t should be Kept up
until equal and exact justice is done to
both the public ana corporations.
These questions ere with the voters.
They ought to take an interest in the
primary elections. and to see that
men are elected as delegates
TO the county conventions who
will carry out all their wishes in these
matters. II they are in favor of The reso-
lutions indicated above as plsnks in the
next Republican platform they should
see that men are sent to the state con-
ventiUn who will vote to make them a
part Of the platform.
With a reasonable and conservative
declaration of principles and candidate
for governor of like character, one whose
ability, wisdom and usefulness are &C
knOwledged, the Republicans can have
an old fashioned victory at the polls IN
November.

why Men Haste to be Rich.


Every writer and speaker is pointing
out the lesson of failures and the panic.
Few of them agree in their teachings,
and q majority miss the most important
lesson OF all. asThe wrong Of over certify
ing checks, the speculation OF bank Of
ficers, the easy going habit Of lending
ones name and influence to an enter
prise without watching sharply the use
made of them-these are among the
evils whose remedy Is called for. Here
and there some one tries to get below
the surface phenomena TO the cause, put
but he is usually satisfied with offering
the explanation that the haste 70 be rich
regardless of means is the cause OF ali
the wrong and trouble. But let US ask:
WHY sucn haste to be rich? and at once
a wholly new train OF suggestions is
started, The true answer Is simple and,
to most people we fear disagreeabl6.
Every nerve is being strained in these
days 10 make money, by legitimate or
Legitimate means, because the art OF
enjoying life without multiplying ex-
penses is we'll nigh lost. The very best
things of existence are missed In the 1n-
tense struggle for show and what goes py
the name of luxury. Who cares for his
OS@>@-----~o
a stable of horses and g yacht? What
becomes of domestic quiet, peace, and
true happiness In a mansion which is
less a home than retreat for able bodied
servants and hotel for friends who like
to enjoy the benefits of other peoples
money? Who cares for the wholesome
pleasures offered free in the wide world
of outdoor nature if the heart Is set on
silk and velvets and an elaborate table
"Others live in this round of senseless
display and we must do the same or
drop out of our social circle" is the
ready excuse. Well. then, drop out and
begin to truly live. Try to get together
means enough through some useful &C.
tivIty to supply real needs and 70 com
mand some simple pleasures; that is q
duty. But with that be satisfied and be
happy. Have some actual comfort tor
your labor. Let your home be compos-
ed of healthy man who has time to
laugh and feels like ii, cheerful wife
and rollickIng children, not Of dinner
sets, tea sets, furniture, rugs, portieres
and servants. The lite Is more than
meat and healthy body is worth more
than fine raIment.
