SOCIAL LIFE IN WAsHNGToN.-.

SOCIAL LIFE IN WAsHINGToN.-A
letter from Washington in the New
York Courier, speaking Of the social
pleasures in Washington, says:
The last feature in this sphere
which as a novelty, may be men,
toned without indelicacy--was an
entertainment yesterday, known in
fashionable phrase, as a "Mdtinee
dansant." The popular, clever and
cultivated lady OF the member from
New York, (Mr. Brooks) gave this
agreeable surprise, to number o.
friends, embracing the distinguished
people in all departments OF public
life, the diplomatic corps, and the
standing lists in polite circles. The
experiment Uas singularly successful
as an introduction, and what with
the character of the company, the
freshness and 6rilliancy Of the scene,
the refined hospitality, and the evi.
den, desire on everybody's part 10
make every Other body happy, it may
be said without disparagement, there
has hardly been such a union during
the Metropolitan Carnival. The
French Minister and others have laid
out a series Of such pastimes, so that
after converting night into day du.
ring the winter, we are now about
to convert day into night, just by
way of variety.

The dav is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of night.
As a feather is waited downward
From an eagle in his fight.
see the light of the village
Clean through the rain and the mist,
And feeling Of sadness comes o'er me,
That my soul cannot resist;
A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not akin to pain,
But resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come. read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall socthe this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts Of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant foot steps echo
Through the corridors of Time
For, like strains Of martial music
Their mighty thoughts suggest.
Life's endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs gush from his heart
As showers from the clouds Of summer,
Or tears from the eye-lids start.

And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in bis soul the music

alt is a singular fact that the ordi-

Cure for Sore Throats.

an inhaling powder; and giving ITS composition.
Immediately had some of it prepared accor-
ding to his formula, which is as follows:-
'''Nhe plan is, the inhalation of light inno-
cuous powder. which NAV carry with it the re-
quired substance. either diffilsed in the air OF
absorbed in its pores. That which | have

the lyropodium or elb-moss, which has been
made to imbibe as much as il would take up OF
saturated solution of nitrate of silver. or OF
sulphate of copper, or of the two combined. and
then carefully dried, and reduced again to on
impalpable powder.

raj cases OF bronchitis ncorated sore throat, in
fammaiion of tho mucous follicles and in incl
pent phthisis IT is much preferable prepared

as here prepared, the nitrate is irst dissolved in

dipped in a saturated solution, Tor that of any
other strength desired,) then dried, and finely
pulverized. Ii can be made of any desirable
strength. and should contain less of the nitrate
than that made from a saturated solution, when
employed with very irritable patients.
A small quantity, say three or four grains. OF
the powder, is put into the receiver of the in
haler, the inhaler is then placed in the mouth
Of the patient as far back upon the tongue as
can be conveniently borne; then held by the

DRACTICE in the Supreme Court Of
IL United States, and In the Courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia and attend promptly to all
claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
ernments.
Sin AFTER consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail Roads in the United States the
undersigned propose to establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose Of collect
ing full and authentic Railroad statistics and
such other information as will enable them to
persons desiring to invest in KailRoad securities,
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Rail
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress- modification of the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the MALL so as to au-
thorize the Post Office Department TO contract for
the perpetual use of Railroads, and, instead Of
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for foaf
years, TO advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeabe upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount, the into.
rest upon which at per cent. would equal TIE
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile FOR
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on $1,000 The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity, five 81 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest Of five per centum. At this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
TO $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears, offthe Bonds, and give theus ofsuch
roads forever thereafter free of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures Of the Post Office Department, and
consequent reduction of the rates of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous TO Rail
Road Companies than to the government. Fol-
instance, such contract would give to the Balt
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
50, 900 ,000 which would enable that complete It's
road at an early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert of action
and continued active effort through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable com
pensation, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro
priety of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next. to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as to the details of the propos
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.
