sWhilst following up his remarks, he had several
personal passages with Messrs Campbell, of South

the tropics blind, that all the female w.t.
beauty aud fashion Of the Metropolis, has been in
the public grounds, and in the Avenue today. A
more enchanting galaxy of beauty has rarely been
assembled. II is on days and occasions like this
that Washington is To be tolerated. The ladies,
God bless them have mingled in Paradise today.
A Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
is now in session at Georgetown. IL embraces much
