This naturally aroused the Ire of the strikers,

such haste that but very few of their house
hold treasures were taken uith them. On the
occupation of Norfolk a detail of Federal
troops waa sent to the Wile residence, and
it is supposed everything oj value, including
the constitution cup, was removed to Fortress
Monroe. General Butler at the time was not

he was stationed kt the post

said that ho knew nothing stout the cup, and

The Two Clubs In Buffalo.
New York 8un.
The place for lively Democratic politics
low is Buffalo. The Cleveland organiza
tion there for the late canvass, the Legion,
has resolved to remain as tbe Legion and
attend the inaugnratidn. But a lot of
young sprigs have broken away and are
preparing to organise the Young Men’s
Democratic Club. ▲ disreputable journal
thus reporta.
“The old men are no earthly good. They
sit up there like a lot of nice old ladies sip
ping tea, and since Grover Cleveland was
elected President they haven’t quite real
ized it—been in a sort ofecstasy. This new
clab wil throw a little life into the party
•nd look after the young fellows.”
No one over thirty-Ave years of a?e can
belong. .They expect that “The Hickor
ies” aud “The Guards,” two campaign
clubs, will fall in with them and help
squelch the old fellows.
On the other hind, the Legion's chief
object, instead of 'ooking after “the young
fellows” and making things lively, will be
to look after President Cleveland. Thlsls
their programme as expressed by a mem
ber of the organisation:
“I,tell you we will need the Legion to
give strength to Mr. Cleveland's adiuinis-
tratiun. The President will be assailed
from every aide m less than a year. The
hungry crowds will insist upon his making
a clean sweep of Republicans—and he will
not make it. He is going to disappoint all
the hot-heads by taking a safe and con
servative course in making appointments.
RL»bt here in Buffalo we need a strong
body like the Legion to sustain him, to
talk up his views among people and hold
up his hands.”

were issued a week ago, yesterday Mr.
tiimpson sent out 600 more invitations to
friends not included in tbe first list.
It seems, however, that. Miss Willard
had bequeathed her heart to Wm. Pax
ton. a young patent attorney here. She
told him she would marry him in spite of
her parent’s wishes and her promises to
Simpson. A few days ago she said to
him:
“Billy, I will marry you any day you
may name, bnt remember if the 11th of
December comes aroand and you do not
think enough of me to marry me before
then I shall marry Mr. Simpson.”
This was enough for Billy. He said
“Please name the day: I am ready.”
Miss Willard’s grandmother was taken
Into confidence. She did not believe in
separating two loving hearts, and accord
ingly helped the yonng people in their
plot. Paxton secured ihe assistance of a
triend, and the elopement was arranged
for to-day. It was carried out to perfec
tion. Miss Willard left her home on Osp-
itol Hill ostensibv to go shopping. She
met her lover ana they were driven imme
diately to a Magistrate’s office, procured a
license and then went to the residence of
the Rev. Dr. Addison, of Trinity church,
where they were married. After the cere
mony they went at once to the railroad
station by different routes and met again
in tbe cars. They boarded a train bonnd
South, but a few miles out changed their
destination for New York, which place
they will reach to-morrow morning.
A large number of wedaing presents
had been received by M'ss Willard, tome
of them f the most expensive kind. Two
weeks ago Miss Willard received a wed
ding outfit from her father from Paris.
The dresses were made by Worth, and
have been the envy of all the young ladies
in Washington. No reasons arc given for
the breaking off of the wedding with Mr.
Simpson, except that Miss Mary loved Bil
ly most
Before the elopement legal friends were
consulted, who advised them, that as the
presents bad been sent to Miss Willard,
she could claim them. The elopement is
the sensation of tbe hoar, bat sympathy
is in favor of the young lovers, who have
succeeded m eluding the vigilance of stern
parents. Mr. Willard is a very wealthy,
retired merchant. Mr. and Mrs. Paxton
will be the gueats in New York of Mr.
Paxton’s uncle, the President of the Fa
ber Pencil Company. Both ot the youDg
people are of age, Miss Willard being
twenty-two and Mr. Paxton twenty-
four.
Fresh Washington Gosslo.
Washington, December 2.—Senator
Cullora is greatly delighted with a most
cordial invitation that he has received
from one of the Texas dignitaries, who in
tends to be present at the cotton exposi
tion in New Orleans. He has tendered to
the Senator if he comes to New Orleans
and desires *o go further “the liospltality
ot Texas.” The Senator says he never be
fore had such aa overwhelming invitation
laid before him. He supposes it means
the freedom of the State, and that in
Texan dialect most mean a great deal.
Mr. Cullom is more than ever impressed
with the importance of his position as a
Senator when such offers come to him
wholly unsolicited.
Senator Hill, of Colorado, talks pretty
freely about the system he intends to
employ and has employed to secure his
re-election. According to creditable re
ports, Mr. HU! hts said that be proposes
to be elected it it costa him $250,090. One
of bis opponents, in talking ot him yester
day, sata: “Hill has apparently no sense
hftheopen way he talks about the use of
money. Why, he said he would carry the
county Denver was in if it cost him |50,000
I have no doubt if he should be elected
now that he has by bis own loose talk fur
nished enough evidence to warrant his ex
pulsion from the Senate.
The most important man in the Senate
in the eyes of the office seekers is Senator
A. P. Gorman, of Maryland. He is ran
after nearly as much as if he were already
a cabinet offl :er. He is a slight-figured
man of tbe blonde type. His angular,
sharp face is smooth-shaven. He is
very reserved, and in all his methods
of business shows great quietness
and decision. He was years
ago a page fo the Senate. He is the
only page who has risen to tbe post of
Senator. He, ss was Gen. Garfield, is a
great admirer of base ball. In earlier life
ne was the manager ot a picked nine. He
never misses a good opportunity to wit
ness a game now, and has a special weak
ness for good ball-players. Office-seekers
who desire his influeuoe would do well to
get themselves well up in the national
game before making their application.
Ben Butler was in the 8apreme Court
yesterday listening to the decisions aa
they were read by tha justices. He was
clean shaven and looked very brisk and
neat. Yet in one particular he rhowed how
the result of the election had demoralized
him, notwithstanding the good solid reti
cent make-up of his face. , He had no but
ton-hole bouquet In his coat lapel. As h<
has never appeared in public without one
for the past ten years, its absence may be
construed as a sign of unusual mental
disturbance.
A Virginian now in Washington says
that the number of office-seekers from his
8tate who will vith Washington about the
4th of March will nearly equal the Demo
cratic voting population. He says that
nearly every “worker)’ who has marched
in a Cleveland prooesalon has had his pic
ture taken in hts campaign uniform with
some indorsement of his personal services
upon the back, such as “This man lost hi#

He wanted to be admitted to the bar. True,

too valuable .to waste in reading,
in his village was a brilliant lawyer who
had lost cute through dissipation. His
name I will not give out of personal con
siderations, but to his fraternity be wu
known u ‘Jim.’ To him Siraim went aud
said that he wanted to be admitted to the
bar. He promised to try to practice about
home, but said he would £0 to Minre*ota
as quick u he got bis cer(ideate. He said
1 be wu going into the real estate business
there, and if ne could put attorney at law
on bis sign it would help him. ‘But you
don’t know a thing aoout the law,’said
Jim. ‘You couldn’t answer tbe first
a uestion.’ Swaim replied, ‘L know
rat, but you must arrange it all.’ Jim
said, 'Well, if I get you in, Swaim, I'll
have to lie like afaiout it. and I'll have
to charge you about $30.’ ‘All light,’ said
Swaim, Til pay it as quick as 1 get tbe
certificate.' The bargain wu struck, and
in a few days 8iippery Jim made a motion
in court to nave a commission appointed to
examine Swaim for admission to the bar.
He handed the clerk of court the names of
two other lawyers to be put on the com
mittee with himself. Jim directed
swaim to order a room at the ho
tel, fo which wu to be opened
a lunch with plenty of whisky and a box
of cigars. Swaim said, ‘But I have no
money with me. I'll order tho stuff in
your name, and pay for it when I come in
again!’ ‘All right,’ says Jim and the
goods were ordered. At tbe end of the
orgio Swaim emerged a lawyer, bat did
nqt go to Minnesota. Neither did he
ever pay 'Jim' for the whisky, cigars, etc.,
nor his fee of $30. When the latter uked
him for It, Swaim replied: “Oh. h 1,
Jim. yon are only In fan. You never in
tended to charge me a fee.'
Daring Swaim's residence in Wuhing-
ton he obtained a strong hold upon Gen.
Garfield. Garfield wu always financially
embarrassed. His thrifty committee clerk
was always ready to lend him money at
a high rate of interest It wu not long
after Swaim’s so-called admission to the
bar that through Garfield's influence he
wu appointed judge advocate, with the
rank of major. Here his ebanoes for
turning a penny were naturally increased.
He lent money at high rates to needy offi
cers and spent little upon himself, spong
ing from everyone with whom he came
in contact. He wu a great poker player,
but would not bet without he had a sure
hand. His intimate relations with Gar
field continued, and at the time of the
latter’a nomination Swaim had a mortgage
upon Garfield’s house for mors
that it would bring him at a forced sale.
A large portion of this monev was lost, it
is said, at the poker tables. Garfield was
very fond of the game, bat wu proverbial
ly anlacky. All through Garfie d's cam
paign Swaim wu his most intimate ad
viser, and owing to his financial obliga
tions the General oould not shake him off.
8o notorious wu this relation that Garfield
f treferred to getf Hayes to appoint Swaim
udge advocate-general. Tnii wu done
bv Garfield promising Jo reappoint Stanley
Mathews to the Supreme Court bench in
spite of his rejection by the Senate. In
the lut month of the lut year of his ad
ministration Hayes advanced Swaim over
six of his supporters to the office of judge
advocate-general.
r* Archer and Hia Cuardian.
New York Sun.
Since hia landing on oar shores Fred
Archer hu been considerably lionized by
the sporting bourgeoisie of New York. The
raring season being over, the aristocracy
of the American turf had no opportunity
of meeting the famous English jockey, bnt
tbe lower sporting strata showed ample
disposition to entertain him. Archer,
however, Is still to distressed by the death
of his wife that he'declines all invitations,
and will leave in a day or two for
Baltimore, Wuhington, and pouibly
New Orleans. He is most anxious
to return home again, and
even made an attempt to sale this week,
butwu prevented from doing to by Cap
tain Bowling, who acts as his guardian.
It wu the captain who put him on board
the steamer at Liverpool and made him
sale lor this country, Archer naively con
fessing that he consented to be thus,
shipped only because he thought thst there
were three or four halting points between
Liverpool and New York, and that he
coaid easily get off again. He wm in Del-
tnonico’a cafe a night or two ago, and gave
an interesting account of the way he keeps
himself down to 118 pounds, nis
twenty-eight years and com.

As soon u the racing season begins
his attendant calls npon him every day at
6 o’clock in the morning, and gives him a
dose of purgative and a dose of massage.
He is then left to slumber for another
hour, and takes after that a cup of strong
tea without milk or sugar. His breakfut
consists of what he calls “the breastbone
of a chicken, with the breut off,” and a
glass of champagne. He uses neitbsr
bread nor tout, and avers that the above
constitutes all the daily nourishment he
takes daring the racing season He hu a
Russian bath Arrangement in his house and
uses it every day, but after he hu been fo
the steam for five minutes all perspira
tion ceases, and he comes out absolutely
dry and with his flesh as firm m a rock.
The reports about his intending to giTeup
riding are not correct. He returns home
to ride, and will probably ride Melton for
the Derby. He speaks very highly of the
Caauutry colt, now named Paradox, who
is the favorite at 7 to 1; but he is not quite
