Our Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent)
Washington, D. C:, Nov. 17. .1883,
Without entering anvone’s house
here I think it cun be said that the
ladies are as beautifully nnmereus, but
wot so numerously beautiful as in New
York* It is high tide here at 4 o’elock,
and you see rivrrs of them flowing in
every direction from the departments.
Of course these young ladies are not
in wl at is called society yet: but
many of them are better born, and bet¬
ter bred too, than some who are there.
Taken as a whole, I think them mogt
worthy amt deserving. They wofk
hard, are honest, good. Nearly all
thi ir earnings go to help some help-
lass ones at home. No, they are not
of the social ah-ment of which I bagau
to write. Aud they ought to be glad
of it, too. They are doing better.
But the world wauts a social capital
iu Amfrioa as well as an art capital, a
sort of winter N ewport or Saratoga,
But the extreme North is too cold;
the extreme South is dull, stagnant,
of doubtful interest to the young in
quest of social excitement; to mamas
with daughters, to rich young men
who, in the course of time and nature,
will woo and wtd them. And so with
the nucleus of foreign legations to be.
gin with where we touch the topmost
reach of sociul eminence. “Society”
is slowlv but very surely coming to
make this her capital this si te of the
Atlantic. So far as the winter months
go ‘'society” has been pivoting about
between Boston, New York, Washing¬
ton, and some other winter quarters
South for some years, but it lias at
last, tin's year for the first timu entire¬
ly, I think, decided to settle down by
the Potomac. I may be mistaken, and
it is a matter of very little importance
too, but I want, to pnt"it down Gitv\< as a
prophecy that Washington to
be this winter and till succeeding Win¬
ters the social capital of our country.
The “season” proper, reckoning
from the fi st of January, will b> fifty-
seven days. A period of pe.ihaps
greater quieter enjoyment will run
through ths and the coming
month, and in the way of wedding
festevities, dinner giving and the do¬
mestic cheer which has its outlet
about Christmas, almost as much again
of social life will be enjoyed. It is au
easy prophecy to make about this
time that the comiug winter will be a
brilliant one. They are very few
Washington winters any other way to
c | jarcQe( j circle who makes it so.
and whose movements are watched
with more interest here than they
would naturally receive el-ewhere.
The President is credited with a good
daal of this p, ospective brilliancy so
much chatted about.
In the early part the series of enter¬
tainments which will be given in honor
of Gen. and Mrs. Grant, on their visit
at the residence of Gen. Beale, will
set the giddy whirl in motion. It is
not so definitely announced, but is
quietly spoken of among tile chosen
few, . that . . the . wedding of a wenltny
young tady near orou Shrove Tuesday
will make as happy a closing festivity
as that wdiich marked that busy day
last -eason.
Secretary Folger has been offered
the English mission. He declined
the offer, but has siuee been urged to
reconsider the decision. This is
pretty conclusive euidesco that Presi¬
dent Arthur is trying to find an hon¬
orable place for Mr, Folger outside of
it is own cabinet. He is a very useless
man in his present position.
Roscoe Conkiing, when he was here
the other day, criticised very severely
the present administration, 8-une of
his remarks should go upon record.
He said that this Administration had
passed from a listle-s existence into a
comatose condition. The only sign of

LfiARY, GA,, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1883.
Bill Arp’s Letter.
The winter is coming on at last,
with its rain, and Mud, aud slush.
We have just had the first good rain
in four|months— four long, dry, dusty
T,ie Iittb > 8 'CkIy crops have
been gathered; and now We farmers
have got to be stingy—stingy with
the cattle and hogs, stingy with the
children and stingy with ourselves. It
is very unwelcome and disagreeable to
be stingy. There is a feeling of mean¬
ness about it. I do like to give the
stock , a plenty to eat and , lmmor tin* ,
children; but we are in h c.umous
state now. The little chaps have soon
the oircus pictures already, hut I
reckon that is all they will see. I don t
know either, for their mother always
a"*;;
keeps it, but I've observed for many
years that when I give her ten dollars
to spend, she never spends it all, and
never hands back any change. Wbv
should she? What's hers is hers, and
what’s mine is he rs too, I’m Just her
cashier—that’s all. When I told the
children I Was too poor for circuses.
I noticed they looked at her and she
sorter looked knowingly at them,
Sometimes I try to satisfy ’em with
going to see the grand procession, and
they go, but somehow or somehow
else they follow it an-und until they
follow it in, and their mother is at the
bottom of it.
It looks like circuses were made for
poor folks and niggers. The mggars
can always get a half a half a dollar,
Thev don't want much more than that
at one time, and I don’t envy them
their enpvment at a cuct*. They
Will talk and laugh about it fora week
and work with much more alacrity
while they are talking.
Two year* ago some Ohio men
eatno down to Georgia to build a rail-
road, and they hiredgtog8ofntygn.es ove/
and put bosses ’em, and the
bosses wouldent let tins darkevs t ilk
nor laugh ftor joke while they were
digging. They stood it for a few days
and quit, nndi the woak waft about to
stop for lack of labor, when a Georgia
man told the head boss what was the
matter, and they repealed the law. It
is the negro nature to talk. They are
the most talking people iu the world
The Swedes wi,I work together! I'hCy'are all
dav and never say a wbrd'
asmleut as a graveyard, and almost
as solemn, but thev work well, and
save their money, aud buy them good
homes, and at night when they get
round the family fireside they are as
merry as crickets, Tliefe is just as
much difference in races or people a«
in breeds of cattle an 1 horses. They
have their traits, and instincts, and
habits, and they don’t change very
much-at least thev haven’t in the
past and I reckon they won’t iu the
futuro. The Anglo-Saxon stands at
the head for sense, and progress and
invention. The Spa niard of to-day is
the same old Spaniard, and the Jew
has worn out ages in preserving his
ways and his identity The negro has
mixed and mingled and been in ch.se
contact with the white race, North
and South, for 150 years, aud he is
the same creature sti’l—Hie same good
easy, indu-trious, t? ing,
iug man. who can’t . along without
leaning and depending on the white
man, and belongs to him, and don’t
belong to him, and loves him to-day
and don’t love him to-morrow, and
enj"ys his religion just like he enjoys
his dinner. S me folks don’t bko the
darkey, but Ido. I like to have him
around, have him to look up to me
and depend upon- me, and I like to
play boss over him, and I like to pro-
tect him and take care of his wife and
children.
M"st negroos nrc nothing but child¬
ren as long as they live. I owed one
fifteen dollars not long ago and he
told me he had picked out a ten dollar
trunk in town, and so I garo him an
old trunk and told him I was going to
spend his money for some shoes ami
blankets for him and his old mothar.

The ways iu which these people be¬
tray their weakness, are numerous,
and almost as different as the persons
affected by them' Sometimes it is by
a peculiarity of accent, again it is the
prouounciution of certain words; or
possibly both these, combined with
mannerisms that, are execrable, mark
the man that might be an ornament to
society, but is a tiresome bore; tolera¬
ted pet baps for the grand possibilities
discovered in him, but despised no
less for what he is.
That you may be yonrseii u ider all

amount of moral .onrage; fof it fre-
quently it means to imuir tin* displeas-

good opinion you prize most. Yet iu
the long run it pays, and many who
hastened to criticise what they were
pleased to term your headst.ong teu-

adfnirers when you have proven y<Hfi*-

And aside from the self-respect yon
