Wasiungtox, May 1st., 1889. The old church at Alexandria, from which just one hundred years ago last month, George Washington issued and rode away to be inaugu¬ rated at New York, is as carefully preserved. I was seated j ust back of old Washington pew last Sunday,and I tried to imagine how George must h ive longed to oe out of thatpe^V on such Sundays when the spiritual food offered by the pastor was particular¬ ly stale, and when he had but to look out of the window to see the budding leaves of the trees beconing him a- way, and but to listen to hear the ^adstones in the chureh-jard out- side. If George had not been busy living out an historical existence, I believe he wcfuld have induced him- self .. to CUt the ., l{ ■ > n S “rvice . and , go a- , a Visitors to the old church h:ve to pay at leuSt five cents to the sexton to see tho church outside of time. A close inspection of th~ pia— card conveying this inforrnati • showed me that the vestrymen have been much exercise 1 in ' ininejs reg-irdiu the nric*- »o ged. Evidently tu- a t 25 cents, 10. T 1 not cue arbiter prices. The fee, however, is an abscb necessity. The sexton told me i •• NO. 1 he was obliged to watch every movl me.it of visitors. People allowed eo into the Washington P pe« 8te r * the button, off the cushions, , • in . ... bit* ful ignorance of the fact that onl the hair inside is a part 1 of the or.Vi , "f , olstery. , . --everal „ , years ag< , som — aiii tore the old plate off the pew doorJ Vandalism is a crime peculiar to r.ol people, but it reaches the sublime in imprudence when it work in a church. The movement to build a grand national road,200 feet wide,from Arl¬ ington cemetery to Mt. Vernon,a dis¬ tance of about 16 miles, is meeting with favor and tho proposition to have each State, with tho government con¬ tribute to it,will probably be accepted^ If Secretary Blaine and Presidorit Harrison had selected the corps a-- broad with sole regard to the female representation, there could hardly have been a greater success. Mrs. Lincoln, wife of ’.he minister to England, has ha 1 a long and brill¬ iant social experience, as tho budding daughter of tho then Senator Harlan during the war and the reconstruction and later as a member of the Cabinet circle, when her husband was Secre¬ tary of War. Few women are more genuinely and unconsciously Ameri¬ can in every thought and action. Her social status is so well defined and her experience so broad that there is no danger that she will be overw helmed, or socially bullied by London society. A grown daughter, a sou aged sixteen, „ and a younger daughter accompany their parents. Younger than Mrs. Lincoln by many years is Mrs. \\ hi tela \v Reid, daughter of D. O. Mills, the million- aire of California creation. She is very attractive in appearance, of the blonde erder above the medium height, and is notable in dress for subdued colors. Mr. Reid will rent a magnificent hotel in Paris, anditis safe to say that his own thousands,a- bly assisted by the Mill millions,will create a sensation even at the French capital. They will take With them their son of seven and daughter, a tot of five years. r I’o the land of Andalusia, where we have sent more gified litemry men than to any other court, Mr. Pal¬ mer is accompanied only by his wife, being childless. Mrs. Palmer is a na- tive of Maine, and was an heiress when she met and married Thomas VV. Palmer. While her husband was in the Senate, Mrs. Palmer was a no¬ table figure in Washington society and proved herself a very clever so¬ ciety leader as well as a kind and ge¬ nial personalitv. The wife of Col. Fred Grant was Ida Marie Honore, at the lime of her marriage the recognized belle of Chicago. She is a fine musician and a linguist. There are sev¬ young children, including a daughter born in ihe White House in 1876. SMILES. Cross-Eyeu Man—Miss, may I have the honor of the next waltz with von.
