President Arthurss Sister.
From a Washington Letter

Mrs. McElroy, President Arthur's sister,
has shown justice and good nature in speak
ing of Mrs Hoyt and Miss Cleveland, sisters
of the President-elect. She always gives
them kind and womanly praise, with no air
of mental reservation, and says that Miss
Cleveland is clever and attractive, and is the
possessor of much tact and administrative
ability. Mrs. McElroy will retire to her be-
loved home life with the good will of all who
have ruet her here. While her influence in
her brothers household has been passive
rather than active, her mere presence has
crystallized its fragmentary elements into
something very like family life and stopped
the Vaccinations and intrigues of ambitious
women Each year one of her daughters
either accompanies or precedes her to Wash
ington. Until this season it has been May,
the eldest, now in her twentieth year. Re

BILE to her parents, and the White House has
no charms to lure her away from her new
found happiness She has begged to be al
lowed to stay with her father, and SO Jessie,
the second daughter, who came on early in
the fall and is IN private school here with
her cousin Nelly, will probably remain till
spring. Mrs McElroy said recently to
friend: at thank God on my knees every day
that was born neither rich nor great. I
have taken up the duties assigned me here
by Providence and done the best could, but
I shall go back to my home with feeling of
JOY that am at liberty to remain with my
husband and children There Is great deal
in a household like this that goes against my
lifelong habits of economy, but I cannot
harass nv brother by criticising what may
not meet nv views If I see an extensive
system of waste on the part of the servants,
shut my eyes or look the other way"

An old Resident ofsheltop

David Beecher, Of Shelton, aged eighty
two whose funeral took place on Monday from
st. James Episcopal church, formerly owned
the property now owned by the South End
Land company of Shelton. In 1877 his fine
residence, located on the site where the new
house of A. R. Smith is now being erected,
and his large barns where w. J. Miller's
residence is being built, were consumed by
fire by the hands of an incendiary Mr.
Beecher was at the time very much cast
down by his misfortune and the blow ap-
peared to hasten the breaking down of his
strong constitution. In his later years he
became very deaf and conversation with him
was nearly an impossibility. His wife, who
survives him, has for long time been con-
fined to the house from the effects of par
alytic attack. One daughter, Mrs. II. G.
Wells, lives in New Haven, and another,
Mrs Morrison Hull, in Birmingham. The
only son, David T., resides at the present
homestead.
