[Washington Capital.] It was necessary to entertain the Imperial Musoovy ducks in an im pressive and gorgeous manner, and, as this means a dinner was resolved upon.—But Mrs. Hayes, who belongs to the advanced school of social re form, not only-in dress bnt drinks, put her little foot down in a way to indicate a holding of the fort, as a woman only can, and said: “No in toxicating liquors at may table, Ruth erford B.” Now Rutherford B. is not averse to a quiet drink. He is not yet educated up to the “ Teetotal Ebeuezer Lane Association’’ of hot gospelers for cold drinks, but he is trained since marriage to obey the behest seen on Western steamers, that reads, “ No interference with the officess of the boat .’’ Mrs. Hayes and her children are the officers of the high-pleasure kick-up-behind steamer, warranted" to run in a dew, and called tfee Rntherford B. Hayes. And yet it was embarrassing.—As Governor of Ohio, with dinner at noon, with all the food placed on the table at once, with a stout servant girl called a help sailing around and shouting, u Bread,sir— meat, sir,” in the most startling manner in one’s ears, wine was unknown, and of course uncalled for.—The guest, if there happened to be one, fortified himself whith “ whisky cocktail” at the bar of the Neil House before he started for the Goffe^nor/s mansion, and teok what is known as a “ snorter ’’ in Ohio immediately after. Here a snorter is known as a rt water repel- lant’’ or “ moth exterminator,’’ or a “ hot Newman.”—Here, however, the affairs is quite different. A din ner at the White House, a State din ner at that, or a dinner at any civil ized habitation, without wine, is un known. Scientists tell us that while excess in wine drinking is bad, very bad, a hot dinner washed down with ice water is death. And a most painful death at that. Why spinal mening itis is nothing to it. A debate hi the Senate is not tvorse. A case before a department involving millions, when the Secretary will not study snd is afraid to act, is mild agony to ice Mater and hot meats. The belter M r ay is to dispense M’ith the dinner. If people have to be killed in being entertained, it were M'ell to do with out the entertaining. Life is sM*eet, even in a Muscovy duck or an Amer- can official. The Hon. William M. Evavts was consulted. He mildly suggested, in a short paragraph of half an hour in one sentence, that to throw cold water on or in the imperi al representative of our good friend, the Government of Russia, u’ould be considerod a diplomatic affront, and might lead to the most disastrous complications. But Mrs. Rutherford B. was not to be moved by the heavy sentences of the learned and eloquent State Department. She kept her lit tle foot down firmly, while an expres sion stole over her fair face that made the State Department look around uneasily for its hat. The Hon. Wil liam M. has but one disinterested af fection in this world, and that is for his hat. It is amusing to witness his extreme anxiety in behalf of his tile when Z. Chandler or Jndge Black is near. The propensity of the first to sit on things, and of the last to mis take, in his absent mindedneps, a hat for a spittoon, makes them danger ous. The State Department subsided, and Rutherfoi'd B., sorely puzzled, called his Cabinet together. Mrs. Hayes took her knitting, and, seating herself near the council board, brought to bear the moral influence of the Teetotal Temperance movement. The Secretary of State threw off a brief opinion in one sentence that lasted half an hour, and left the Cabinet looking as if peering into the dim dis tance in search of the Unknown. The Secretary of the Treasury thought that it should be left to each one to fetch his ou’n drink and pay for the same. The Attorney-General said that Neu f Jersey cider, sold as cham pagne, M’ould b,e a good substitute. It made people ill and sometimes killed, but he never heard of any one getting intoxicated upon it. The Postmaster-General said it did not intoxicate but caused insanity, and people treated to that broke things* The Secretary of War remarked that if guests were not satisfied with a good square meal of hog and hominy it Mas not worth M’hile bothering about them. As for his part, he drankrcold water udien thirsty, and thought that good enough for any “ Grand Dook” on earth. 1! ' The naviri hero of the Wah-bosh stated that his practice trs to have a brown jug with some good old uliis- ky, and if a fellow was a little weakly or very thirsty he gave him a nip. For his part—and here he shivered his limbers and reefed his etack-pipe and ship-ahoyed considerably—he be lieved in grog. At this Mrs. Hayes gave the aid jack-ass—we beg par don, jack tar—a look tjjat silenced his guns for the rest of &e«contest. in’,” ordered the chasseur. And sure enough, the most dismal groans, interspersed with yells, came from the carriages. Reaching the legation, Doctors Garnett and Yar row M'ere hastily called in. The im perial diplomatic party M as covered with mustard plasters and dosed with brandy and opium. These , learned physicians soon diagnosed the* dis order. Ice M*atrr to a Russian stora<- ach is death. It is a most paiuful death. Between paroxoisms of pain our imperial friend, Alexis said : “ I saw in New York a droll play. It M r as a feast of raM r turnips and u’ater. I thought it very droll. I laughed. I shall never laugh at it again. It is not droll. Good heavens, it is pain.” The next day the imperial party hast ily retreated. The Muscovy ducks left on the first train. They feared being invited to another dinner. Ta ts, colicky ducks. Brigham Young’s Infamy. THE TEAMS TEUS OF ’53 WHO WE UK FORK- WARNED AND FOREARMED.—?HE STORY , OF A SURVIVOR. Mr. George Lowery, of Haverhill, Mass., is-one of the few survivors of the body of teamsters, for the mur der of whom, while under Mormon escort, Brigham Young is alleged to have issued an order on the 19th of April, 1858. Mr. Lowery is very positive that the order had reference to the party of which he was one, and not the party so brutally murdered at Mountain Meadows, the September rm „ .. v . . „ , . previous. The survivor states that The Mephistopheles. of the Ihtenor L „.**,**,* suggested substituting lager beer and pretzles for M ine, and Said that our German fellow-citizens would be well pleased with the change. At this moment the Hon. Stanley Matthews entering, suggested a com mission. And failing to carry it, for [ack of time, as some one said, offered a compromise. First, that this being a dinner to foreigners, in all dinners hereafter it should be understood that it M’as not proper to go behind the returns. And in all dinners to nativec strong drinks M'ere to be ex cluded. Mrs. Hayes accepted the proposition M’ith an amendment to the effect that she, her husband, the Administration and the guests of the White House should not be called on to partake, but have each one a gob let and an ice pitcher at the plate as an example. In this issue our B. Y. M. gives a glowing occount of that dinner. But he says nothing of the result of the experiment in wine. It pains us to put it to record. It nearly proved fatal to two members of the imperial family and a plenipo. Observing that the head of the table drank no wine, nor the fair lady, but swallou ed huge goblets of iced water, these polished gentlemen, wishing to live up to the customs of the country, also declined wine, and su'allowed u’ater. In a short time the calm face of the Rus sian diplomate began to twitch as if suffering from heat lightning. Soon Alexis and Constantine gave evidence of facial conv nlsions. It was observed that while they lifted their goblets with one hand the other was pressed upon their digestive apparatus. This continued until the dinner was ended, and the leave taking was of the most hasty sort. It was rs much as they could do to get au r ay politely. Once in the carriages, the minister gave an order to the chassenr in the Russian dialect that sounded like a bnnch of Chinese crackers exploding in an empty barrel. “Say you, drive- drive like a bull; dey is all—all dy- expedition against Utah, in 1857. He and eight other teamsters sepa rated from that command and started for California. They got lost in the mountains, wandering about for a month, finally coming out iu Molada Valley, u’here they M'ere captured by a Mormon Sergeant and taken to Box Elder City. Fr- ra thence, they were taken to Salt Lake -ity. At that point, a party of forty-tM o team sters M’ere gathered, who wanted to go to California, and Colonel Lee, then in command there, gave permis sion for their departure, turning them over to Captain Smith, M'ith an es cort of seventy-two men, proposing to accompany them to Castle Rocks, a distance of 150 miles., Befoie starting, they accidentally heard of the order from Y oung for their mas sacre at a point 100 miles away, but concluded to arm themselves and take the risk. They purchased guns and ammunition from ffpostate Mor mons, the guns being taken apart and secreted M'ith their ammunition in sacks of flour, constituting part of their supplier. The party of forty- tM*o M’ere only allou’ed to take one double-barrelled gun and a revolver. The teamsters and their escort had separate camps, and at the .end of the first day’s inarch, on entering camp for the night, the teamsters prepared their guns and M'ere ready by morning to give one hundred and tM'enty-one shots M’ithout reloading. In the morning, the Mormons M ere astonished to find an arraed party iu charge, but moved ou in another day’s march, which took them 50 miles au’ay. On the morning of the third day, the Mormons announced their determination to leave thejparty there, instead of accompanying them to Castle Rocks, and did so, return ing to Salt Lake City. Had the teamsters been unarmed, they would doubtless have been slaughtered in obedience of Brigham Young’s order. They proceeded in safety, reaching California in June, 1858. 1 glia
