Tli* Society season hi Washington
City ended the other evunieg with
tw'o erand entertainments, one at the
Mexican Legation and the other at
the White House; . Both weie of the
most mungnifieent description, and
utdnmnH cculd be filled with a loll ;ic
count, but a paragraph will serve to
show the readers of tho Banner,how
wealthy anal a in the Capital show ofl.
■The. conspicuous feature of both
nreuidga was the presence of ilr*.
John Jacob Astor, of New York,
loaded with diamonds. So many
were never seen before, except in Tif
fany's windows, and we doubt if Tif
fany’s stock exceeds in vaiue the
amount that Mr*. Astor’s diamonds
are worth. Mr. Evarts, who is inti
mate with the Astor family, says the
jewels cost eight hundred thousand
dollars. Tim two stones which ■ hung
tronr Mr*. Aetor’s ears cost $50,000
each. Her necklace was made ot five
hundred stones that cost §1,960 each,
and there you have $000,000 worth.
Then she was covered with rosettes,
butterflies, bracelets, etc., with stands
of pearls, all of which are estimated
at $200,000 more, it was a bewitch
ing sight, but we do not thiuk the
display slit wed a very refined taste.
Sim might as well have worn a dress
made of government bonds. Truth
compels us to assert that Mrs. Astor
is not very handsome. There were
girls at the White House that eve
ning io. muslin who looked a thous
and times more beautiful lo the eye,
yet ouc of the jewels Mrs. Astor wore
would have purchased all ot their
wardrobes. Mrs. Astor reminded us
ol a magnificent old ruiu. -She may
have been handsome once, but ihe
powder cannot hide irtxises in her
lace any more than range can bright
en her complexion.
Wherever Mrs. Astor went that
night the eye nt the detect ive was upon
her. lie moved through the crowd—
a Well dressed man—with iiotliiug to
•ay to anybody, and wa* probably the
ouly person at the reception who was
reallv paid Ibr going. When Mrs.
Astor got ready lo go Ik r carriage
was called, and a Couple of |Kilicemen
appeared with it.. Assiie went through
the broad porch, leaning on her hns-
buuil’s arm, a policeman walked on
either side. One got into the carriage;
tiie other sal on the box with the dri
ver. It was a singular spectacle and
furnished a good text tor a sermon it
We were di-posed to preach it. Starv

—hungry children within sound of the
trumpets of tile marine baud that
p'nyed in the While House veslibnle
and a woman with so many jewels
that it required two policemen to pro
tect her tram robliers! All this under
tliu same small patch of sky. When
Mrs. As'or got home—or rather when
she got to the residence of Mr. Ban
croft Davis, where she is a guest—she
stripped herself of her diamonds, and
they were locked in a safe which was
constantly guarded by two policemen.
When she goes home that safe will be
sent by express.

Somebody in England is preparing,
say* a London letter, an elaborate
Work to prove that James Crichton,
hotter known us the Admirable Crich
ton, never had existucce; that he is
aAuire myth from beginning to end.
While the mo.-t extraordinary stories,
evidently gro-s exaggerations, have
been told of the youth culled Crich
ton, there seems to be good reason to
believe that there was, during the
sixteenth century, an actual person of
that name Aldus Minutius was ins
• lisputably a witness of the Scotch
man’s intellectual perthrmnnccs at
Venice and Padua, and his “Patadoxa
Ciceroni-” have been the base of the
lives of the wonderful genius after
ward written. But that Crichton had
mastered, before lie bad reached sev
enteen, the entire circles of sciences;
that he could speak and write fluent
ly and elegantly twelve languages ;
that he eould draw, paint, siug, ride,
fence, datu-e, play on all musical in
struments to perfi ction, and that he
possessed marvellous strength, grace,
courage and beauty, as has
been recorded, is too severe a tax
upon the mosl credulous mind His
biographies read like fairy tales, aud
it is not strange, therefore, that many
persons have come to believe him a
pure invention He tv:is probably a
ery clever u a 1, noted lor versatility;
but that he should have accomplished
more than any bundled men of liis
time could have done, and have died
at tweuty two, stimulates scepticism
necessarily. His miraculous disputa
tions and tiltings in Paris are, in all
likelihood, purely fictitious, as are, in
deed, most ot his more than mortal
achievements A tueory of the En
glish author menlioiiuj is that Crich
ton was » mere name to which all the
great expl* its of the century were
ascribed, and that what fie is declared
to have done was really done by a
great many men.—Uoston Tran

Ope word as to luck. Whether we
believe iu it or not, there is such a
tiling as luck. We ace one man for

grumbling about their luck, aud as
suring everybody that they invariably
lose* take a cycle of three years, and

‘‘broke” are those who play for points:
they cannot afford, and who
have not the thuds to stand a heavy
run of bad. lock; or those who, not

backing tbeir luck when they win.
