AT THE HEAD OF SOCIETY IN THE j UNITED STATES? A Very Pretty Love Story Which is > Followed by a .Most Mortifying; Recitation or the IHstinxuished1 Bachelor's Cause of Shame. STOKY NO. 1. When Grover Cleveland was Just nble to I support himself he became enamored of a voting woman who Wasa relative of the late! Judge Verulanck. The girl was not disposed i to look favorably on hi* suit and this made! hiui love her more. She delighted in teasing I lnm by permitting other young men to escort j her home front the old Kagle .Street Theatie, j which was then the only place of amusement; in the city of any account. The uirl was com-1 paratlvely wealthy and looked down on , rover, who was a poor lawyer. Alter a while j hie got to thinking fondly of tiim, audit is said that they were engaged to be married, \vhen she was taken ill with a fever and died. Cleveland did not recover from the shock for several months, and though he lias a bachelor's liking for pretty ladies, his friends say that he will never marry. One lady became ho infatuated with him that she proposed to him. He rejected her advances and it is said that she became crazy and is now contiued in an asylum. A friend of the Governor told a reporter a romantic story of how a lady living near i>oug!ikeep>ie engaged In correspondence wit h j the Governor since lie was elected Mayor,and j tli it a tender feeling had sprung up between # Thau hut'A Kilt, frill T t.i 111 I when Cleveland was Siierirt', a lew year* later at Saratoga, after Cleveland was elected Mayor, anil once since be has been Governor. This friend said that the lady would he mar-1 rled by Cleveland II elected President, an<l j that she would grace the White Hous? parlors ; at his reception. The la'ly is described as be- l lng a charming brunette, about thirty-live years old, with pleasing; manners and considerable property.?Muffalo Letter in the A". 1'. Morning JourmU. 8TOKY, NO. 2. A Buffalo evening newspnperof a sensational character having published a story about <*ov. Cleveland, courting him with drunkenness, seduction and so on, and the story having been copied in whole or in part by various Blaine organs, an investigation has been made, atid the following are the lacts as presented by the Xeiv York /Wand other leading j Journals: "Some years ago, Mr. Cleveland,' who is a bachelor, became acquainted in Buf- j falo with Mrs. Maria Halpin, a widow having j two children. She was also familiar with two or three other men. She charged Cleveland I with the paternity of her child, and he at1 once made provision for the support of both j mother and child. While nursing the child j the woman began drinking heavily and the Child was neglected. About this time Cleveland decided to put the matter of the aire of; the mother aud child into the hands of some one on whom he could depend, and chose! Judge Burrows, a gentleman advanced lu | years and of high standing in the community, i One day the report was brought to Jud^c Bur-: rows that the woman was In a high stale of j excitement through drink. He, without j Cleveland's knowledge, sent detectives to the | house, who, on their own responsibility, took the woman to the Providence Asylum, where she was kept but a short time, and the child was taken to the Protestant Orphan Asj lum. Cleveland then gave the woman means to start In business at Niagara. She did not stay there long, however, returning to Buffalo, where she frequently visited and Anally abducted the child from the orphan asylum. She afterwards surrendered the child and it has since been adopted In a private family In Buflalo, the mother being again generously provided for. Mllo A. Whitney, the woman s legal adviser, states that in all her conversations with him she never told him there was ?ny promise by Cleveland of marriage or auy seduction. The worst leatures of the story are thus disproved. The stories of his drunkenness are pronounced to be absolutely false; in his use of liquor he is not an abstainer, but Is temperate. Other stories In circulation WUVC1IIIUU IIII1UW1UI (W<llVUO n?,M iw wvvu i committed during late years are wlthout l foundation in fact, and emanated from a man who has been convicted of offering to sell his I vote and "influence." The 1'ait says: "Cleveland's virtues are those which bind j human society together and whichStatesare founded and maintained. There has been no great bcnefactor of the human race who has not been truthful, faithful to his trusts, disinterested, self-denying. There have been very few who have been chaste, lilalne's vices are those by which governments are overthrown. States brought to naught and the hauuts of commerce turned Into dens of thieves. The standard by which some ministers now propose to exclude Cleveland from high place would have prevented Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, not to go any further, from taking any promlnont part iu the foundation of the American Republic, it would have excluded from office In England nearly every great statesman or reformer of the last hundred years, except, perhaps Roniilly Wllberforceand Gladstone. It would have visited nearly every prominent politician In the Republican party since 1>G0 with popular odium. It would, hnd the Democrats chosen to apply it, have defeated one Republican candidate for the Presidency by charges worse by far than Cleveland's, in that they added the sin of broken vows to the sin of Incontinence," The Xew York Herald says: "Hitherto we have not printed tills story in any form, because we know that flagrant falsehoods circulated long enough before an election to give time for the sober second thought never do narm ; out me siory as ioiu oy me jrosi it* true, and we print It for that reason. At the time that Mr. Cleveland was candidate for Governor tills scandal made Its appearance, tind we then investigated it and discovered the facts to be as the IHtst now recites them. It will be well for Mr. lilaine if when iiis story comes out It shall contain nothing worse. Adam t lie first man who ever got into a scrape about a woman, and there have been a great many since. There have been some warm-blooded fellows ready to maintain that Woman Is the only thing In the world worth getting Into a scrape about. They never heard, perhaps, of dear Mr. Fisher's cogent temptations. Governor Cleveland evidently followed in the footsteps of Father Adam. But the critical point In such a case, as it strikes us? the point of human manly Interest?Is not whether a man ever got Into such a scrape, but how he behaved himself In the circumstances and how he came out of it. Governor Cleveland behaved himself in a straightforward, manly way, and did not have to bo coerced by talk of tar aud feathers or shotguns. ^ Theootton worm has appeared around Montgomery, Ala.

JlcMing?Alilc Sj>eool?es?Sj>Io??<1 i(1 Dinner?Many Noble Recruits I'or the Cold Miller Army. K-litor I'rcxx a nil Ittmnert Willi your permission, I propose to give) t hr<mull the columns of your paper, lit least a short account, of a temperance celebration, held at Shiloh Church, August 2nd. Karly that morning, men, women and children, and the candidates besian to collect, at thai place, from all points of the compass, and by 111 o'clock, It looked like the whole world, more or less, would be there. At lii;.:rt o'clock the exercises of the day began with prayer by the Itev. J>r. (irier. Then was introduced to the audience, as first speaker. Prof. ti. C. I Indues, our talented young friend who has been for several years, successfully and satisfactorily toall concerned, teaching "the young Idea bow to shoot." and is now a candidate for School Commissioner. He treated his subject. not as a novice, but as one who had given it much deep and earnest thought. Next came the Kev. .fno. s. Mattison from Anderson county, who to Judge from his appearance. is tjmte a young man. lie lias but lately been licensed to preach. He gave us a soul-stirring speech?one that we hope will be productive ot much good The above exercises were occasionally and appropriately ln"""'""""I witli music, which broil I'll t them to the dinner hour of t he day, and as tlie wants of our intellectual natures had been so well supplied we thou thought it time lor res' and the refreshing of the Inner-man ; accordingly an intermission of two hours was taken. Now Mr. Kditor, it is not at all neevssary, hut may not be amiss, for me to say something oi lite basket dinner. The good ladies of the shiloh section, know too well how to get up a first class dinner, not to have had one on tills occasion. Although the crowd was very large, if any one failed to get their dinner, it was their own fault, as our division appoint-, ed a committee whose only duty was. to see that every one was supplied. Upon re-assembling in tlie cbureh the bouse was called to order, and l>r. W. M.S<4rier, the talented, and eflicieut President of Krski tie College was introduced, and in that free and easy stile pecucnliar to himself, gave a lucid ami graphic description of the beneficial effects of temper.inet*. and then, on the other hand, portrayed in appalling colors the direful elleots oi intern pern nee. His arguments ought to have been, if they were not, convincing to every one of Ills hearers When such master-minds ns Dr. drier's take* hold of this subject, all I -sser cbn- should fall Into Hn*. and march in solid phalanx, to I he entiie suppression of this terrible evil. The next and last speaker, was our urbane, gentlemanly and talented young friend, Mr. Gains Scudday, of Anderson Court House, who has represented that founty, lor the last two terms, in the State Legislature, and, is now a candidate for reelection. He at once gained the attention ot nil in hearing distance. It is but faint praise, to say that, he gave us a good speech?one to the point, lie Is as ninth '*at home" before [in audience, as any irt.au I ever saw. His heart and soul are in the temperance work, nnd we believe if more of our law-makers were enlisted in this great work' our once luippy land would not now lie mourning because of the evils engendered by the vile whiskey-selling traffic. Theabove mentioned speech ended the speaking part of a day, long-to-be remembered in] this section. At the close of the exercises proper recruits for ihe temperance cause J were called for. and ihodt twenty additions made to Shiloh Division Sons of Temperance and many others, will I think, come in, from time to time, as Ihe ftult of this occasion. I but express the sincere wishes of the larire rowd in attendance, generally, and of our Division particularly, When I extend to the speakers heartfelt thanks for the eloquent ind able manner, in which they discharged :he duty assigned them that day, and I beleve that the seed sown then will spring up md produce abundant fhiit.
