II was one Of the two hundred people
last night who suffered from one Of the
most original and effective bits Of feminine
malice that has ever come within the scope
of my observation. It was ct an uptown
reception. Every thing had been done on
q scale of splcndor and effectiveness. The
floral decorations were superb. The sup
per was served ct DelmonicO's and the wine
was plentiful and dry. But there wasn't
any musc-to speak Of At ten o'clock the
bellies and buds who had been filing up the
cards with complacent satisfaction, in.
dulged in expressions indicative of aston
ishment. At 1O:3o they were serious; at
eleven in despir. Then q clever young
amateur played waltzes and the aston
ishing explanation Of the faux pas came
out in q note from the leader of the
string band engascd for the evening. He
said that. agreeable to instructions re-
ceived that afternoon from miladi. he
would delay his appearance until Wednes-
day next, to which date he understood the
reception had been postponed. A couple
OF Vidocqs in evening dress started out to
find the leader. They came back at mid
night will an accurate description Of the
bearer Of the false message. 1t proved be-
yond doubt to be g young woman Of excel
lent position, known to the hostess, but
who for some reason had not been invited
to the house that night. By this stratagem
she had managed to very effectively mar
the harmony of the occasion and debar her
rival from inspiriting waltz music. Queer,
wasn't iti-N =. Graphic.

Presidential Birthplaces.

On Saturday the house In which Gen.
Grant was born WAS hauled through toe
streets of Cincinnati on its way from the
river landing to the spot where il is to
be exhibited for an admission fee. 1t Is
to be returned TO Mt. Pleasant, it is
said. when it is through with its travels;
but the fact OF its having been carted
around the country will jetract in q
way not easily described from the in
terest that wocld otherw wise be .eIt 10 IL
hereafter. There is certain loss of
genuineness involved in the liberties
thus taken with it,
But the fact that house In y bich q
President of the Uui.ed States was born
is such a small and humble structure
that it can be shipped from one place to
another at no great trouble or expense
is worth considering. Garfield was
usheIed into life in a house even more
unpretentious. and the came is true of
Lincoln. johnson. and in lesser de-
gree of Arthur and Cleveland. The re-
calling of these things reminds us of
the essential social and political equality
that prevails in the United States.
Ability. character aud industry. either
in public. profe essionaI or business life,
carry man eventually where he be-
longs in the ranks OF men.
There is room To reflect. Furthermore.
That our earlier Presidents were not of
humble origin, or. so 10 speak, from the
common people. Washington. the two
Adsmses. jefferson Though bis princi-
pies were Democratic enough. Madison,
Monroe. we're all aristocrzts ty family
decent and connection. Jackson was
the trst President whose early life was
without social advantages. The Ma
tion is really more Democratic now
Than 1t was for the frat firIy years OF its
W. y. World.
