THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE:‘ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1874--TEN PAGES, e L S eeeS——— ———— ] LOCAL MISCELLANY. PRESIDENT GRANT'S REOEPTION, The Prosident’s recoption at tho Patmor Houso yesterdsy morning was success in polut of Pumbera snd othermise, Tlhe affair way adver- tised to take plaoo at 11 o'clock in the mornlug, and by thot timo tho slairs and possagea lexding to tho principal drawing-room wero erowdod with citizonn of nll classes, from tho dignifiod bruker and morchant prince down to tho cuthusinstle hackman, who evidently, if thero had boon room for the porformance, would hava cracked tho whip he lold inhis right Land as & menus of Totting oft tho ostra steam ho wan carrying i honor of the occasion. 'Ten, fifteon, iwenty ‘minutes passcd, and tho faces of all, especiully of the ladios, who woroseatod on evory availablo chair in tho house, and wha love sucl ocoasions slmost 28 much as dry goods, begun to wesr an ansious, mot to sy dle- appointed, look. | By this time the crowd had ox- tended right down to the ofiice, which bognn to 11 rapidly, and some membors of it, tired of the dolay, bogan to step down and out loto Stato ntrest. Here, howover. glad tidings woro bronght to the would-bo touchorsof Prostdontial finger-tips. A movomont was moticed ab tho head of tho stairs, tbo erowd openad, and o hugo tawny beard, sovoral foct tn_longth, pushed into and down tho aporture, Tagor facos scanued ho bonovolent foaturos of tho hotel-clerk, and numeraus wero tho crios of * What's tho mintter, Sam#" Wby don't ho let us in?" ¢ Iow mucli longer miet we wait 2 To thoso Inquiries, Mr. Turuer vouchsafed tho reply: **Tho I'ros- jdent bas gono out driving; ho'll bo in #oon, though," In a fow minutes the Prosidont gos home from his drivo, and tho reception bogan, Who Pres- jdont took up n position noxt to tho fai- ther pillar, on the side of tho comncot- ing entrance botweon tho two adjncont rineipal _parlors of tho hotel, supported ;:.v Gen. McArthur apd Col, linmmond. ‘fhe hand-shaking then began and L;omllnmd ancoas. ingly for about half su hour. Thoto was nothing aouaual to note in tho appearance of the Presi- dent, and, from tho liitle notice he soemod to take of tho featuras of each sticcesuive uhalkor, it is doubtful whether he will recognizo them alt next titae he meats thow. With tho parties pro- senled, however, matters wore a diflorent aspuct. J.ovor never peercd moro carnostly inlo the face of his mistrosa than somo of tho handshakers d1d futo that of tho President. Mauy of them who noticed the don’t-care-a-bit expression on the President’s faca evidently mado up their rinds to appear oqually nonchalaut whon in the prosonco and touching the paim of the Presi- dent. They succeoded until it got within about six shakon of thewr turn, and then their enforced sternnoss and dignity of foaturo moltod into a smile which, by the time the supreme moment of contact 'with ropublican royalty had ar- rived, widened into a broad grin, tho inof- foctusl attempts to squelch hich wero painful to bohold, Thers was no responsive tmilo on the Proaident’s featuros, however. Ile wore tho samo cast-iron expression which tho ohromos awsrd him, tinged with the torch of melancholy propor to & man who is about to ytold up his eldost boy on the mutrimonisl shrine. Once or twice, when a more thau ordi- narily pretty lady made =u oxtraordinarily graco- 1ul curtaoy, assisted with a peculiatly bowitching wmile, it did seom as If the Prosidont would have to rospond, but then thero was always o Land waiting to bo shalon, and tho Presidential pump~ handlo requirements put gallantry out of tho question rfimmnd(nm]y. The curtseys of tho ladies wore, withont oxcoption, graceful; some wora moro sweeping, lunger of duration, lower of bond, mora eomplicated of evolution than others, but, a4 a wholo, they reflectod credit upon the Iadies who paid th President their rospects, and upon tho Iadies’ danciug-mastors, Tt is painful to Lave to record that tho gentlo- men's gonuilections wore not by any mealia on o par. Thoro was moro origiuality shown in quito s number of casos ; but thon, originality m bow- fog i8 08 out of place and unlcoked for as in the modem drams. - Porhaps the wiscst of the gen- tlomon_were those who approached the Pre dent, shook hands, and passed on, withou* abnt- g ono half-inch of tho height which nature had allowea thom; and perhaps the most foolush of them was a hugo gentloman of Quakerigh up- pearance, whose head desconded from near tho cailing to ologo to the floor, describing an arc of s circle, whoeo diameter could not havo boon much loss than nine foat. Then thero woro the port littls ** bobs” of tha fat, round, little men with Bmiling Tacen and familiar manuer; the ungalo- 15, half-unwilling bend of the man who couldn's make up his mind as to whother Lo would bow or wot; and the uncertain miotions of the unfortu- nats who biadn't bowod before in his fife, didn't knosw whether the thing was done with his knees, orhis back, or his neck, and, in nn attomp to_bow all over, didnt bow at all, and paesed on, blushing at the thousht shat he bad not acquitted himeolf woll, and that wiat ho had_ intended to bo the proudeat mo- ment of hia life had proved unfortunstely the ‘mont ridiculons, Thou the nttemapts of’ some of tho presented to gain a moment’s_conversation, just one little word with the Iresident, wera o8 amusing as thoy wero futile. Tho burly hack- man, whose presonca has beon already men- tioned, did his beat, but failed lawmcntably, As be nenred the President ho took a long breath, and braced himself for the offort. As ho sliook ke caught the eye of the President, and said, in sonorous tones, **And how do yo do, Misther Tremdent #” Tho President ovidontly fuiled to recognize bim a8 hin medical adviser, and took the huad of the nowcomer without making reply. A man who hud lost his right mem in 8 buzsaw scrape gomo threo yoars ago was equally wnsuccesstul.

Page of a number of €0las on tho cor- net. These arc very enjoyablo, and as Mr, Pago obliged the Jadies present with such tuncs as thay asked of hiw, the seloction of picces was o peculiarly happy one. Iy noon the reception was over, aud the President ratwrned to his room, whera, it is to be presumed, the firat thing he did was to give his hands a good wasli, . ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

The suicido mania #coms to bo raglog st ite utmost height. Not & day passes but finds one or moro victima immolating themselves on the altor of solf-sacrifice. Tuo latest instanco is that which cccurred on Friday lant in this city, in which nyoung man cccupying a good social position, surrounded by n numerous host of {friends, and poascaced of talents and good looks in a raro dogree, sought to destroy himself. Luckily, the ttompt was frustrated, aud the young map, by tho cfforta of his physician and Pastor, was brought back from deati’s door to again look upon life, It i to bo hoped, with mora manly and snuguine foclings. Tho circumstances of the ¢ane ara as follows: Tho young man, who is a member of ono of the Bapiist churches, has beon a resident of Chicago for gome time past. In his associations with the peoplo with whom ho has becomo acquainted in his ehurch ond social relations, hio has borno himself with personal dignity and apparont good iutentions. It i his miafortune, nowever, to bo somewliat overfond of spreariug to advantage, ond it is said be hay expetided tiore money on dreuy and extravagance than Lis position aud in- come warranted. The desire to mako a display i menally uccompanied by a morbid aud Jalio komaitiven and fately, whon by a sudden change of formoo he lost his_situation and present prospects, tho outlook was #o discouraging to his mind ns . to rey deeply upon his feolings, Added to this, fic had accumulatod numerous debts, and his creditors, anxious to got their mouey, bosfeged him with bills. A few days 220 he went to Lis pastor and told i his condition, stating alko thau if ho did not zoun find a siluation hio Lad resolved {o talio hin ovwn lite, He was ont of monoy, his friends had degerted him, or rather did not know of his ex- tremo want, and he bad no place ovon iu which o sleep. Mo was perfectly disconcolato nnd des- perate, The howmnano gentloman,in ovdor to provide im with temporars shelter and reliof, ofered the use of his library-room in the church, in which o lounge was plazed upon which ho coulil sleep 5 and furtbor told him he would lend hiny £5 o weok until guch & time oy good fortuno again_omiled upon m. ‘This reliof was ace cepted, and no more was thought of it. On on- fering 'the chureh on Friday morniug lasl, at about n'clock, the paotor found the young mnn Iying agloop ou the lonnge. In his attompt to awaken bim, ho was surprisad to find that ho geomed to be in a deadly utuvor, and breathed in such o manner as to nronss the liveliest appehousion. Happenivg to look on the floor, where his Lat wa lying, o solution of the mistory was ah onco diselosed, The bhat contained two empty bottlos labled Inudanum, A physician was at ouco sont for, aud, upon his arrival, the victim of his own hund was rajued to his reet and made to wallk, By dint of keeping up tho exorcizo for soveral euccass-' ive hours ko at last regained lis senses, and is now doing well, thongh still Inboting nnder tho effects of the diug, and ju a shattered and palsied coudition. Out of kind- uced to this youth, who has thus sought tho last desperate nud ignoble relief to lifc's carcs, his nnwe and tho numo of hiy pastor arc withheld. Giood advico will undoubtedly bo offored by his frionds, but to whatever may bo eid, the folly and unmanliness of his act should b held up to Dim, ot a8 & slmo, it to bring lim to o sonso of hi truo condition. If ho shonldl roflect upon the veal pan end pufforing avound him that in positivoly incursble, thab mmst bo borme, ho woiull mno doubt sco thst, with health nud vigor, Dhe is lho possossor of ho primo factors in Jito's probiem, nnd has {bo lonst canse of any for despondency.

A Mothier Recovors Fler Five Children under o Decreo of Divorce isnucd by ¢ a Scoteh Court. A mont inloroating cnso, snd ona rarely oqualed in the couzts of thin country, was do- eided {n Worcoator, on ¥riday afternoon, by Chilof-Justico Gray, of tho Massachusotts Sue- prome Court. 'The cane was founded on a writ of babens corpue, brought by Mra. Mary S. Svmiugton, to recover the custody of lier five minor children from their futher. I°rom the his. tory of the caso it in doveloped as follown: An- arow James Bymington was o menufacturer of musling in Scotland, n man of wenlth, enliuro, and rofinoment, a writer for mazazines, and holdlng o good social position, i wife was the pet daughter of n Tmmlncnl physician in the north of Hootland, and the oqual of hor huosbavd fu social position and mental culture. ‘Flhoy were married in 1360, and for sovoral years the courno of their martied lifo ran smoothly. Fivo childron wors born to them, the oldest of whom in now 11, and the youngost £ yoars of ago. At longth Mrs, Symington discoverod nn im- praper intimacy existing betweon lier husband and a nurgory-matd, and an estenhgoment on- suod. Aitor vain ondeavors to rogain the faith of hor hushand, sbo sought a divorco in thoe Heotob Court of Sensions. A single Judgo do- nied hor anit, but slio carried it tothe full Bonck, which, in 1871, grented hera full divorco and cus- tody of hor childrou, with alimony of £800 per sunum. Just bofora tho issuo of the decrco tbe husband flod to this country, taking tho chil- dren with him, and leaving his counsel to nppoal his cuso from the Court o Seeelons to the Ifouse of Lords, whero 1t is still ponding. Tho wifo wan foc o long time iguorant of the placo of conceabnent of her husband; but, re- cently discovering his placo of residenco, she camg to this country, and, by the aid of a New York dotective, found lum living with tho chil- dron in Willlmstown, 3ans, 8ho wonb to Worceater about two wooks ngo, atd mado applt- cation, through Moessra, Hoar and Verry, hor connsel, to the Supromo Court, for a writ'of ha- oos corpus, to recover the custody of her chil- dren undor tho docren of divorce in tho Sootch court, Tho partica wore brought to Worcestor, and, in viow of the gravity of tho caso and tho financial ability of tho respondend to command nesistance in another cecape, the childron wero Incad in tho family of Mr. Haro, keopor of tho fau. eaars, Btaples and Goulditig appoared ns counsol for Mr. Symington, and oflered evidenco to show that tho wifo is not & proper custodian of tho children. Bho' is acouried of habits of opium-eating and the exceusivo use of nleohiollo stimulants, and of immuorality. Many lottors which havo passed botween the purtics woro read in court, indieating not only the for- nior harmony of their domestio cirale, but also the culturo and_refinement of the writers, During tho reading Mr. Verry was too much saffocted to proceed, tho Juaga wept, and the throng of spectatory was visibly and tearfully affected. An attempt was mado by the respondont to postpona the decision, in hopd of a compiiowmive, and bis couuscl suggested tho placing of tho childron in tho cuntody of President Chadixourno, of Will- jams Colloge, pending his attempt at settlemont, hut tho wifo declarait that, whilo sho would bo dolighted to have their formor rolationa restor- «ed, hor exporicuco of hiy promises had been too painfal o warrant her in accedIng to his pro- posnl. Both parties wero doeply affected, and manifestod o tondor attachment to the children. Aftor a full herring of the evidenco and argu- monts, the Court docided in favor of the right of tho petitioner, and ordered Lho children Lo bo rostored to hor, A Jargo gathoring of the Bar and spectators attended tho howring, and their sympathies wero gonerally witl tho petitionor, "Iho case was a novel one, requiriug, as it did. of the Cowrt = Judgmont in some measuro ou the ruliogs of a forcign court, and it is posuiblo that some points may yet be raised which will reopon it bofora the full Bonch. e The British foynl I Tho Royal fumily of Great Britainis o flourish- ing colony, The bitth of s son to the Duke and Duchess of Edinba~g incronses {he number of Quoon Victorin'a grandehildron to twonty-six, and of ¢his largo family twenty-three aro still living, The Queen's cldest child, the Princess Royal Victoris, wifo of the Crown-Princo of Gormany, bns bad four sons and four daughters, of which nnmber ono son bas died.
