In tho swoiul parlor over the mantel was a similar iloral piece, this one representing tho c oat of firms of (Jporgia,with the device,\Visdom, Jus tice ami Moderation.

U'ho almost in-.tant c|mml it ion of tho gm sts as they < nti‘K'd the lighted halls last evening, was one <4 pleasant surprise. It was known that tho club w is to bo prettily decora toil, but no uno .si emed prepared tor the great transforinatb n that met them at tho door. In the r.-ar of the house, the space between €hc club and tho chureh was tloored over and <x«\erod with woodwork, giving another room bfiy by l wenty-tlyo feet to the t n io> ment of tho Cis wl. This room was handsomely decorated with blue, red uin I white stn amvrs, together With various shields and other devices made of different mati rials by cunning hands.

ETXV’EEN tho hours of four and six o'clock yester* day afternoon, a reception was tendered Mrs. Cleve land at the beautiful home of Mrs. Henry XV. Grady, on Peachtree street. The house was lovely with Spot ted plants and rare cut flowers. The stands in the hall were filled with va-a .s and bowls holding mses of every color; on the left of the hall, the library was most charmingly dressed. The maht< I was one ma s of rich ph-ids, and the hearth was banked high with all kinds of flowers. J/ \ T/f f) X Tn tho corners were triangular pieces upon which rose to the height of the dado moss banks studded with roses, andon thetopof the dwarf cases and stands wore laid tho most ex quisite floral decorations. In the parlors on tho left, in front of tho largest mirror, were Arranged ferns and other water plants that gave the appearance of a brook with growing plants on its bank. The arch above the alcove was artistically hung with rose wreaths and smilax. On a large easel stood a magnificent floral shield with the national colors brought out by the living flowers, a beautiful work of art .greatly admired by those who saw it. On the farther eml of the second parlor two large flags were artistically arranged, and about the cor ners were the mno triangular floral pieces that made tho library o attractive. Tho parlor mant is xvero concealed behind great masses of plants ami flowers. The table was laid in tho room opening out from the library, the table was round and was beautifully d-corated with flowers. In tho center was an immense floral bank, composed of tho most exquisite roses, and the various fruit stands were standing upon banks of th e nr- tli’i'l flowers. Streamers of rod, white and blue were suspended from tho chandelier, and gave a charm tu the table, each streamer com- -r>\ JW •jr '' w Ifik --it etsSiSF* posed of narrow ribbon, being tied with a cute bouquet. Tho cakes and fruits wore upon the •able, the salads, sandwiches, broad, and other edibles being served at small tables. The most delichms punch and wino was Immled about the tables. On tho whole,tho house was as prettily decorated mid arranged as was pos sible, and tho soft light falling upon tho flow ers and plants, about which beautiful women sit or walked, made tho scene as lovely as one ever looked upon. Mrs. Clovi land arrived about four o’clock, and was ushered into tho main parlor where she reccived during the afternoon. She wore n soft blue .silk trimmed with white crepe, em broidered with pale blue flowers. U’he dress was cut s luare in tho neck, mid was a beauti ful erection. Mrs. Cleveland remained at Mrs. Grady ’s until after six o’clock, and dur ing the two hours rcceixcd nearly four hun dred ladies. Not withstanding the exceeding ly inclenu nt xveather tho toih lts of the ladies were simply lieaatiful, and it is doubtful if ns many richly di-><<•! ami beautiful w*»inen ever .is.vmblcJ together. Over four hundred invitations wore issued, confined oxclusixely to ladies One half of its number were for a rcciqUion from lour to live o’clock, the other half from live to six o’cloek, the object being to ilix ido the callers in order to nrox ent overcrowding. 'The iilan succeeded .lomirablv; at tin time the number present Is ing unpleasantly numerous. Mrs. Grady was assisted in receiving Mrs. ("vx.lanl by a number of Atlanta In dios. Mis. Uh veland was most gracious ami ph a -c.nt during the entire afternoon and ronfirnivd tho impression she had made upon Atlanta society nt tho previous entertainment'. Tho reception was one of tho pleasant* st and casie-t ever given in Atlanta, and in eve ry ai rangenu nt ami detail passed oft delightfully. Notxx ithstanding tho rain'tho in vited gm >4s. almost without exception, callexl amt spent a H w minutes pleasantly in tho so ciety of one who. bv her personal graces as well a; bv her exalted position, is tho first lady in the laud.

The I’owder Springs delegation had a h imlsome banner inscrined: “Powder Springs Grvct.sOur Nation's Chief.’’ Company No. 1, tlw Fram i>Guards,dressed in regal red gowns, attracted admiration. The Travel'r’s Protective association, w ith a 1 amL en ' banner, joined the procession at the corner of Lt ul and Alabama streets, and the u elklu rmg w ith the shouts ot cuthusiaslic thousands.

The appearance of the president was a signal for a long continue*! cheering, and frequent “three cheers for Cleveland” from all sides. O n the stand w re a j.u über <>f prominent citizens, ami a grand dele gation of Atlanta’s fairest ladies. As the presidential party drew near, tho head of tho column of torch bearers appeared, and with bands playing and thous ands of young men cheering as hearti ly as they know how, trudged past' 11 was an inspiring; sight, indeed. There was a little,. delay i n inassingx the men before tho stand, but the time wes devoted to an mr. w. t. turnbull. elaborate display of fireworks. Aft* r the torch bearers had been massed in front of the stand ami tho space inclosed by the ropes had been filled, Mr. XV. T. Turn bull, prv iidcnt of the Young Men’s Democrat ic league, stepped to the front and said: Mu.

Mr. Smith said: Mr. I’rosi'ient: The elements are against us, lut the untorrlfied democracy is still here as it wnl always be here to meet ‘its leader, and upon this occasion, when the south joins the west in rejoicing, tiie Young M n’s Democratic league experiences peculiar pita uro. because Its existence dab s from ISM. and our first successful presidential vote was then < ast. In the present administration we >ce re sults which sustain the trust rej/osed in our chosen I'H'ler, nnd assure anotner victory for him and us in 1883. And we see a <afn the in m f her wh< xn t - Anglo Saxon rare have always honored—of her who has been America’s guardian' angel--who, as queen, enabled Columbus to discover America: who. as mothcr.formed the mind and character of W a t.m—who, us wit *, gave to the father of democtxu y the imprfiness of his life. Our purpose in organizing was to Increase democratic acquaintance among young men, and to keep before us the great prim i pb sos (b-moeracy. This het is especially neces sary, Inca use there i rinciplC', being never ques* tioned hero, might tnume he forgotten. Since then our ranks have grown until we count among our thousands of members men of all pursuits—men who born here have always lived here, and men, wlio, nati .es of other states, have left tiie bonus of their an* ("-tors to cast in their lots with us. We be lieve that we cun now speak for the y >ung men of the south in addressing you, and hi the name of the young democracy of the south we gri tvou. The great centennial so recently celebrate I in our s st( r city of the north brings before us for emulation the conduct of the patriot members of tiiaie* nvention, held one humlred years ago.

During her stay in the city, Mrs. Cleveland was the recipient of many beautiful floral offer ings, from admiring ladies and gentlemen. Many of the flowers were costly, and were arranged in the parlor artistically and attrac tively, forming beautiful souvenirs of the trib ute paid to the beauty and amiability of tjic first lady of the land, by her Atlanta ad mirers. Before leaving the city last evening Mrs. Cleveland requested that these now priceless gifts should Ik* distributed among the different oenevolent institutions of the city and for that purpose gave them in charge of a committee of the Young Men’s Democratic League. It is by such thoughtful and timely acts of kindness toward the poor and afflicted, that Mrs. Cleveland is endearing her name and presence wherever she lias been, and many a sad heart has been made glad by the thought that it has been remembered by the first ladyof theland. The rain and muddy condition of the grounds upon which the grand sham battle had been planned, made it impossible to carry out, in de tail, a programme which would have proven one of the most interesting features of the ex position. But it is creditaide to the pluck and energy of the distinguished military men who were in charge of tire affair that they suc ceeded so well in giving tho assembled thousands a brief but spirited representation of an actual engagement. The evolutions of both cavalry and infantry were spirited, and though made under great difficulties, elicited applause from all who wit nessed them. Tho infantry companies were formed upon the quarter stretch inclosure, and engaged in miniature war, skirmishing, firing, charging ami retreating in confusion, in a style that showed “onsiderablo familiarity with the field duties of a soldier, in oilier thautiincsof peace and exhibition drills. The cavalry companies were all well mount ed and presented a fine appearance, and their movements, in charging, were spirited and true to life. Tiie cannon that had been planted on the hills on either side of Piedmont park added to the realism of the scene in rapid and echoing discharges, and, mingling with tho rattle of the infantry rifles, did much to carry out the purposes of tiie affair. Everyone regrets that the weather was so unfavorable yesterday, but none more so than the gentlemen who had planned and other wise would have carried out a sham battle of magnificent proportions and inspiring results. More Than One Hundred Votes for Cleveland. At the public reception held at the executive mansion, ono of those to pay his respects to tho presiilent and Mrs. Cleveland was Mr. William Browder, of East. Tennessee. Mr. Browder is ninety-six years of ago, and fought under Jackson in 1812. lie was a good soldier and is a good citizen. He came 150 miles to see the president, and brought with him his great-great grandson. He and three younger generations of his family are Cleveland democrats, and more than ono hundred of his male descendants voted for Cleveland in 1881. He says ho hopes to live to re-elect President Cleveland in 1888. Old Fort, N. C., October 21.—The stop at Asbevelle, N. C., was scheduled for only fifteen minutes, but it lasted an hour. Tho municipal authorities and a host of citizens welcomed the president and escorted him and his compan ions to carriages and took them through the town. Tho way for half a mile was up a steep hill, and it struck tho guests as an oddity that their conductors, in calling attention to the natural beauty of tho situation, should refer to tho locality as a valley. Therefore North Caro lina was better understood when tho summit was reached, from which on all sides could bo seen from ten to fifty miles distant the serrated tops of the Blue Ridge, Balsam Range, the Smokies and Black mountains, hemming in a fertile region, whose knolls oi five try eight hundred feet wore dwarfed to pigmies m com parison. The party’s most active esco.’t was a score of ladies and gentlemen on horseback, who led the way up and down the steep moun tain roads in a gallop. A feature of tho recep tion was the line formed by a thousand mount* ed mountaineers and country people clad in their everyday habits, but with bridles bedeck ed with little flags and equipages, trimmed with evergreens. Beware of Scrofula Scrofula is probably more general than any ether disease. It is insidious in character, and manifests itself in running sores, pustular eruptions, boils, swellings, enlarged joints, abscesses, sore eyes, etc. Hood’s Sarsaparilla expels all trace of scrofula from tho blood, leaving it pure, enriched, and healthy. “ I was severely afflicted with scrofula, and over a year had two running sores on my neck. Took five bottles Hood's Sarsaparilla, and am cured.” C. E. Lovejoy, Lowell, Mass. C. A. Arnold, Arnold, Me., had scrofulous sores for seven years, spring and fall. Hood's Sarsaparilla cured him. Salt Rheum Is one of the most disagreeable diseases caused by Impure blood. It is readily cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier. William Spies, Elyria, 0., suffered greatly from erysipelas and salt rheum, caused by handling tobacco. At limes his hands would crack open and bleed. Ho tried various prep arations without aid; finally took Hood’s Sar saparilla, and now says: “ I am entirely well.” "My son had salt rheum on his hands and on the calves of his legs. Ho tood Hood’s Sarsaparilla and is entirely cure d.” J. B. Stanton, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. *- Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists. j?l; six for $5. Mado only by C. I.
