THE PARLORS.


The three parlors, known from the preva-
lent color Of the papcr-hansngs of each as
the red, the blue, and the green rooms, were
ornamented for the occasion with green
wreaths ard with exquisite boquets of rare
greenhouse plants.
Grouped in the blue parlor, during most
Of the evening, were the diplomatic corps, in
the scrupulous evening dress Of European
gentlemen, which contrasted strangely with
the frock-coats, thick boots, and ungloved
hands of few citizens of Hail Columbia.
They also wore the ribbons and stars of the
decorations of honor which have been be-
slowed on them, and it was noticed that,
although their ladies were all dressed with
marked elegance, especially those from the
French legation, nono equalled the daughter
of Gen. Cass, now Madame Won Lmburg,
who wore blue brocade, trimmed with rich
lace.
In the red parlor, with Washington gaz
ing down from canvass on them, were several
young couples, who were, evidently, obi
vious of all that was transporting around
them. Their names, Mr.. Editor, you will
have sooner or later, grouped under the head

TR1BUTE TO OUR REPRESENTATIVES, IN Con-

from Indiana splendid speaker, yet man of
practical talent, and true friend of California,
writes to a friend in Grass Valley that he intends
10 visit California this fall, and audes as follows
to the Pacific Railroad
At last, after long years of efforts, this great
enterprise is authorized and the mountains
between the East and the West will virtually be
brought low by the Railroad, which, traversing
them, unites the Pacific and Atlantic States by
closer ties than ever before. Long promised as
this work has been by all political parties, you
will not, | hope, object to my saying that the
pledge made at Chicago to the people OF the Pa
cifc slope, and Oh which so many relied, has not
been broken or forgotten. Among acts, which
will perhaps cause this Congress to be remem-
bered in history, this will be strkngly conspi-
cious. rejoice, also, that can say that it was
not exclusively party vote. A number OF
members, of different politics from the dominant
party, gave the work their earnest support. All
of US, Of all parties, who favored the enterprise
stood by it earnestly and actively, while those
who special of it were plotting ii amid the
breakers and quick sands OF Legislation to the
harbor of its final passage. | cannot refrain
from bearing testimony TO your California Repre-
sentatives, Sargent, Phelps and Low. Though
all new members, they have already won their
way to influential positions among their fellow
members, and were instant, in season and out OF
season, in pressing this great work, which they
made their speciality, on their associatea-an-
swerng objections or doubts. explaining the de
tails of the bill, and winning support to it every
day. At one time the passage of the bill seemed
doubtful in consequence of the condition of the
Treasury and local difficulties as to the branch
roads. But the work that had been done, day

was taken. This patient, ceasless, faithful labor
of your Representatives, was exhibited in the
splendid vote by which the bill passed, and by
which again to-day the House, by ayes and noes,
concurred in the Senate amendments. California

PUTTING SALT Of THE MoNIToR's TML-War
is pretty serious business but they are not al
ways gloomy at the War Department. when a
few days ago the foolish rumor was current IN
Washington that the MOnito, had been captured,
a gentleman asked at the War Department
whether the report was true. Certainly.
replied an official with due gravity. =" How ana
the rebels succeed in capturing her?" BY
putting salt on her tail" When the report was
generally known to be false, the official explained
by stating that the rebels did not succeed IN
catching her, because they could not tell which
her tail was, as both ends are made alike.-Pro0-

NEWSPAPER POWER. R.-One can hardly compre-
hend the immense power of newspapers over the
public mind-the great mass OF people get their
politics and religion, their peculiar passions aud
prejudices, from newspapers. 1t is becoming
more and more fact, that they mould the mind
and give it character, as much as the food which
one eats gives character to the body. And what
the mind and heart feed upon gives them charac
ter for good or evil
Books have power; and yet few people read
them largely. They are expensive and people
purchase but few of them. They are long wind
ed, and in our fast age few have the time and
patience TO read them, unless every sentence
holds a galvanic battery, and gives signal
shock. Hgh-wrougAt tales do this, hence the
extensive market for works of fiction but the
great mass of books arc kept for show, and not
for reading.
But everybody reads newspapers. They are
cheap; they are peddled by the penny's worth
they meet you in the street at every turn in the
rail.car, in every store, in every house. Each
gives you the latest news of the world. man
who does not read newspaper for week, is &c
far behind the age that he is no where in the
knowledge Of passing events. Cheap and new
just suits our modern Athenians, who spend
their time mostly in hearing Or telling some
thing-EG

SocIABLE PIcKETs. Since the shooting of

by mutual consent, the soldiers on guard have

papers and bantering each other The New York
Worlds correspondent relates the following in
cdents
Funny things occur on picket near Mechanics
vile. A day or two ago, just at the breakfast
hour, when the aroma of good coffee is doubly
delicious our pickets were accosted by voice
from the rebel side, a few rods only distant, with
"Hallo, therew "Hallo yourself - "What
are you doing tbereW Making some coffee.
Have some ?" "Will you let me come over ~
"Yes" "W viii you let NE come back ?" " Yes"
D." Honor bright?n "Yes." And over he came.
His coffee drank, he smacked his lips, and said :
"Wel, that's very nice. We don't get any of
that over on our side" Then casting his eyes
around, scrutinizing the neatness of our men, he
continued Well you look very comfortable.
All of you live so?" % Yes" A few moments
more of silence, and he broke out " Well, |
like the looks of things here. believe l won t
go back" And be didn't.
Exchanges of papers have been frequent, and
sometimes they meet half way and have a sitting
down chat on a stump or rail. A couple met in
this manner yesterday. "Ain't you tired Of this
war ~ says our man. Yes and | wish | vas
out of tits all humbug," replies the rebel.
4" If they'd leave it to You aud me-" continued
our man, we'd settle it without any more fight
ing, wouldn't we?" "Yes sir" said the rebel,
with emphasis. And so they would. If left for
the pickets to settle, the whole thing would be
soon and amcaby arranged, and, that, too, on
the basis Of things as they were"
