grlf Conceit of the Old Kuldent FkihOlo"
of tho N .lion's Cspltsl—Some of the
Characteristic* of the Wive* of the
Member* of the Cabinet—How the
I.ciiten season ll Observed.
Washington, March 26.— Yesterday
afternoon 1 hired a neat little coupe with
b neat, round, fat, little coachman rn liv
ery, all lor the little sum of $1 an hour,
and went out to pay calls. Toe system of
Visiting that prevails in Washington is
juost fascinating. A curious person, one
disposed to be a looker-on at the various
booths of Vanity Fair, does not readily
tiie of the rounds of calling, and although
th£ semi-obscurity and silken gloom of i
.Lent bas settled over the social world,
there is still enough of social olii ‘ial life
going on to make Washington very at- |
tractive. You know, as a matter of
course, that AVashineton society is di
vided into one or two sets, or (actions.
There are the old Washingtonians,
who look down with supreme
disdain on the terrapin suppers—tbe 3,000
strong entertainments —tbe lumti riddle
de*bo—of tbe official ladies. When these
old families who live in Wasaington who
tire not at the capital of tbe great un
washed voters of this or that State, min
gle in official society, you may know that
they believe they give it a higher tone,
and it ia really not often that you tind the
vestal virgins ol the body un-politic adorn
ing the feasts of the high priestesses of
political society.
The most unique cotie of etiquette pre
rails amongst the official ladies. The
wife of a member—or ot any lower officer
must always make the first call. Tuus
the wite of a member must call first on
tbe wife of a Senator. The wite of a Sec
retary must also call first on the Senato
rial women and these in turn must call
on the ladies of the Judiciary. The pre
cedence is as follows: Miss Cleveland, the
wives of the Judiciary, ol the Senators, ot
the Cabinet, of the members. Tnese ladies
all have til* ir particular days of being at
home. Toe members day is Tuesday,
.Judtrc-s day Monday, Cabinet day Wed
■esduv. Senators day Thursday, and Miss
Cleveland receives infoimally on Tues
days and Thur-davs. Mrs. Speaker Car
lisle receives on Wednesdays at her par
lors in the Riggs house. The ladies of tbe
Cabinet and certain of the Senatorial
sviv-s have had tbe most calls this year.
Mrs. Whitney, wile of the Secretary of
tbe Navy, has given the grandest enter
tainments ot anybody in Washington this
winter. Her three parlors open into a
large dining room on one side, and at the
back into a large superbly beautiful ball
room, which she had builton to the house
last year. This ball room has a lovely
marquette floor, d*ep crimson walls,
and at one end- a magnifi
cent $3,000 fireplace. The room Is
lighted by stained glass skylights,
and on one side there is a deep reeess or
oriel window, hung from the room iike a
balcony and reached by two little flights
of steps. Tbe piano and other musical in
struments are nlaced in this recess, and it
was there that Mrs. James Brown Rotter
stood when she recited “‘Ostler Joe,’’and
straightway became iamous frotae Maine
to California. Fine pictures adorn the
walls, as well aa wonderful tapestries,
and it is always possible to get a card ot
admission to view these beauties. At
night tbe room is lighted by huge lamps
which are covered by great umbrella
shaped shade* made ot yellow anti red
roses, and which have a most charming
effect.
TH* WIT* OK SECRKTAKY MANNING
Is the least popular of the Cabinet ladies.
She bas a sharp eye and a scant smile for
a shabby gown, and is a politician ratner
than a diplomat. Mrs. Vilas is a pret
ty little brown-haired woman—last year
the shyest woman in Washington, over
whelmed by her position, She smiles and
looks inoflensively pretty, and knows no
more about politics than the quietest
little rustic buried away in the heart of
the country.
Mrs. Endicott is a true Bostonian.
Bbe is tall, with dark eyes, a fiDe
face and a lot of silver-white hair banded
back from her brow. In her manner she
fairiy exudes elegant culture and grace.
Bbe dresses well—her prettiest dress is a
rich opal-tinted white satin made perfect
ly plain, with a reverse at the surpliced
neck of black lace, and with deep cas
cades of black lace falling from the waist
line over her hips. Mrs. Endiooll’s bouse
is one ot tne handsomest thrown open to
the public. In the hallway there is a
lovely arched gothic porch under which
the oaken stairs run in broken flights
and with two or three laoding
places to the upper rooms The
parlors are birds egg blue with
tiny, narrow, milk-white marble mantel
shelves, and on reception days these are
Vunß with swings of smiiax ropes.
Attorney General Garland lives in a
shabby looking old fashioned frame bouse
that sets back in a bare and dismal yard.
His little,old fasuioned mother. Mrs. Hub
bard, known all over Washington as
Grandma Garland, keeps bouse for him.
Bhe Is a silvery, sweet little body, remind
ing one ol an old fashioned French nink.
Her self possession is well known and
she explains it by saying: “My dear, at
my age there are no great men.”
Grandma Garland says truly that her
son’s heart is buried tu the grave of bis
wife. He has a most Inexpressibly sad
face—a look at il he were set apart from
the rest ot the world, us if he walked
alone in a mint and dim obscurity of woe.
Those who know him respect bis grief,
and never venture to joke with him on his j
well-known aversion to a dress coat and
to society generally. Bayard, Garland,
Hawley, Morgan and Barbour are a
croup of the saddest looking rneiwtn
Washington. Senator Megan has only
just returned from taking his beloved
young daughter back to their desolated
Southern home—an invalid, with the
awful calamity of insanity hovering like
a thing of evil over her. A year ago
Senator Morgan’s son was drowned in
the Potomac, and the daughter bas
grieved herself into a most distressing
condition of mind and body.
DURING I,ENT TIIK HIGH OFFICIAL
ladies leisurely dispose of their calls.
Now you mult know that to exchange
calls with au official lady does not pre
cisely establish social relations with her.
She returns your call either in person or
by tbe card, as it were, which she sends
around to your bouse in a neat little en
velope directed to you quite as if It were
a giaud invitation. This call in persou,
or tbis card, squares off all her duties to
you. It Is true she will always be glnil
to see you on her reception dHy. because,
like every otber actress, she enjoys the
triumph of a full houa. Hut she will not
know you from Adam, and ber smile will
be just as vapid and meaningless— ber
band-shake just as limp—ber unutterably
stupid relerence to tbe weather just as in
appropriate on tbe occasion of your last
visit us at your first.
Washington society has an eruption of
dubs and societies, and every particular
club thinks itself tbe holy ol holies In tiie
way of clubs, and just a notch or two
more exclusive and intellectual tban nnv
otber in tbe town. Tbe higb place sbould
pci blips be given to tbe Literary Society,
which was orgunizwl some years ago by
Mrs. Dablgreen. and she was tbe patron
taint of it until she wrote her oook on
Washington society. That book killed
Mrs. Dablgreen socially. Tbe coldest ol
euis direct was given ber. nnd
•be wisely moved off to Philadel
phia. Senator Hawley aud bis sister-in
law, Miss Kate Koote, belong to tbe Liter
ary. Mist Foote it. so to speak, tbe Sen
at’ir’s some*bat ml'ignted Gall Hamil
ton. bke succeeded, on tba New York
Independent, to the piace made vacant by
the death ot the lamented Mary Clemmer
Ames. Miss Annie Dawes, the Hue-look
ing blonde daughter of Senator Dawes
not precisely in the first bloom o( youth
is also a member, she has written a hoot
called “How We are Governed.” It Is
the only book ever written by an Ameri
can woman on the ponderous sub
ject ot our constitutional government.
The membership of the Literary is con
fined to forty—a happy style borrowed
from the French Academy—and no per
son is eligible who may not contribute a
poem, an essay, an etching, asong.areci
tation, or wiiat not, when called upon
to do so.
THE HISTORICAL SOCI*TT
meets always at Mrs. Horatio King's on
Friday afternoons. It is purelv feminine,
hut quite a learned organization. Miss
Cleveland is a member of the Anthropo
logical Society devoted to the study of
n.aukiud and chiefly patronized by learned
ladies, who. having passed the days of
frivolity, have, so lar as teas and dances
and flirtations go, fallen Into a stale of
“innocuous desuetude.’’ It amuses itself
with lectures on such frivolous subjects
as the chief results of the present state of
civilization, and takes flights into phi
losophy to which the Chautauqua would
be mei est child's play.
Mrs. Whitney, now in Florida, comes
back on Monday, and on Thursday night
will give her grandest bail of the season
in aid of lbe News Boys’ Home. She
gives her borne—the music and one o(
her superb suppers—at the last $l5O
worth of terrapin was served. Tickets
to Ibis ball are $ . and are difficult to se
cure even at tbat price. Aldrich came to
towujuston the heels or Howell, but
stop) ed very quietly at his hotel and w as
not lionized at all.
A brilliant, but reduced gentlewoman,
one of those to the “manner” born, is
earning a salary of S3OO a month teaching
the foreign attaches bow to talk Ameri
can smail talk. She receives her pupil
elevaDtly attired—and greets him in the
most approved manner of Clara Vere de
Veie—and for two hours chats nonsense,
social gossip with him, and exacts ot
him many little witty speeches which she
patiently drills him in saying. At the
Wheeler ball, two weeks ago, a pretty
girl was surrounded by lour of these
handsome foreign secretaries. They were
c mrtly and elegant, but ail four were
making In precisely tbe same wo-ds the
beautiful and witty little speeches they
had learned of Miss B.
Catharink Col*.
RICHTER AND BISMARCK.
The Chancellor Greatly Nettled by the
Speech of Hie Opponent.
Berlin, March 27.—Prince Bismarck's
speech in the Keicbstag yesterday absorbs
tbe attention of tbe public. His encoun
ter with Herr Richter was marked with
unusual bitterness. Herr Richter’s paper,
despite the denial of the .\orth German
Gazette, continues to charge Prince Bis
marck wito seeking to alter the elec
toral system in order to subverse the
suffrage. When Heir Richter in tbe
course of the debate yesterday sneeringly
thanked Prince Bismarck for having
spared the country a coup d’etat. The
Chancellor jumped to his (eet, and with a
voice broken by excitement, declared
that he bad no design of a coup d’etat. At
the same time, be said. Federal sover
eigns, like the Kings of Prussia and
Bavaria seeing that tbe Keicbstag was
untrue to its trust, might begin to regiet
having parted with their prerogatives for
tbe general weal and seek to reacquire
them. Tnis declaration has caused a sen
sation throughout Germany, and fears are
expressed tbat changes in the constitu
tion are contemplated.
BOTH RESIGN.
The Long Looked-For Changes In the
Brltlah Cabinet Come at Last.
London, March 27.—Joseph Chamber
lain, President of the local government
board, and G. O. Trevelyan. Secretary for
Scotland, have resigned from Premier
Gladstone’s Cabinet, and tbe Queen bas
accepted the resignations of both gentle
men. James Stansfield, Radical member
for Halifax, succeeds Mr. Chamberlain,
and tbe Earl of Dalbousie succeeds ’1 re
velyan. Earl Dalbousie, however, will
not have a seat in tbe Cabinet as Mr.
Trevelyan had.
A Fantastic Invention.
London, March 27.—1 t is now learned
that there is no truth in the story that an
American woman named Shelby and a
French woman named Valsayre fought a
duel with swords on tbe field of Waterloo
on Thursday. The story is described as a
fantastic invention.
The Panama Star Suspended.
Paurnia, March 27.—Gen. Santa Do
miugo bas ordered a suspension of tbe
Star and Herald, a newspaper published
in English and Spanish. Tbe manager of
tbe paper has entered a protest before the
American consul.
Pasteur’s Patients Recovering.
Paris, March 27.—The two Russian
patients of Dr. Pasteur, who n few days
ago showed symptoms of hydrophobia, are
now recovering.
Bismarck’s Bill Rejected.
Berlin, March 27.—Tbe Reichstag this
afternoon by a vote of 181 to 3 rejected
Prince Bismarck’s spirit monopoly bill.
Tbe members of the Right abstained from
voting.
Failure of a French Bank.
Calais, March 27.—Devot's Bank here
has sus|ieiided payment. The liabilities
are stated to be $500,000.
A Winning Young Lady.
From th* t'arUrtvUU (ff l.) Cournot.
“Bet you a dollar agaiust ten cents you
cannot bitch up a dorse!”
Such was tbe banter oue ot our young
swains made to a most estimable young
ladv of the town one day last week.
“ lake the bet,” instantly replied she.
Tbe money was put up and tbe young
lady repaired to John Anderson's livery
stable, where-she ordered a horse aud
some harness, and requested Mr. A. to—
“ Let me put tbe harness on, please, for I
am goiug to win a dollar.”
Tbe nag was proudly led to a buggy,
where the young lady fully convinced
tbe young man tbat she did know some
thing about tbe keeping of horses, not,
thougb. until she bad got tbe harness
somewhat tangled up, and with an occa
sional changing of ends of the same.
After hard and magnificent engineering
tho nag was bitched up and tbe dollar
was passed over to the winner, and ere
tnis it has been sadly squandered on
chewing gum.
Advict* to M<ttira.
Mie, Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cuttlug
teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at
once; it produces natural, quiet sleep hv
relieving tbe child from pain, and the
little p rub awakes us “bright as a
butte ii.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known remedy for
diarrho-a, wnetber arising from teething
or otber causes, afttieuts a laittlo.
Tbs Harnstt Moss©, nsvsnusb.
Tbe wonder of those who go to tba Har.
nett House, in Savanuab, is that so excel
lent a table and such eomiortable rooms
cau ne offered to tiie puoiiu at such mini
mum rales. YVltbout exaggeration, the
table of the Harnett is as good as tbat of
tbe bc-even House, and the rates Just
one-half as large. Courteous treatment
makes up tbe sum of its attractions.
The public largely testified their apprs
elation.—,/rksri*iUe ( Fla.) Herald.

Philadelphia Makes II Knns and Shots
Charleston Out r nrlrely
Charleston. March 27.—Charleston
was eliminated by the invincible Pbda
delphias to-day by a score of 11 to 0.
Hopes of victory had been entertained by
the Charleston peple. Tbe Phlladelphias
put up Case? and McGuire as a battery
and evid ntlv plaved loosely. Tbe'Char
leston battery consisted of Clark aod
Bellman, the last named being anew
catcher who played bis first game to-day.
He did not come’up to expectations. The
result ol the game has almost entirely
disgusted the people of Charleston. The
playing of tbe home nine was wretched.
They failed to make a single base hit and
muffed balls in every direction. Tne fol
lowing is tbe summsrv:
Hhsp hits— Phila-h lphia 8, Charleston 0.
Errors— Philadelphia 2. Charleston 7.
Struck out—By Philadelphia 12, ny Charles

ton 1.
Score by innings:
12845*719
Charleston 000000 00 0— 0
Philadelphia 1 0221802 ..—ll
The attendance scarcely numbered 300,
and unless the home association takes
steps to strengthen the nine all interest
will die out.
