Of pleasant gossip from Washington
All the old politicians here are laughing at
the Tammany celebration in commemoration
of the battle of New Orleans. 1t is well un-
derstood that the demonstration was intend
ed, if possible, to commit President Johnston
to the fortunes of the Democratic party. All
manner of traps were laid, first to get the
i'resident to come on and make speech,
and, failing in that, to induce him to write
letter, recognizing the Democracy among his
supporters Committees from Tammany Hall
were coming and going for q wnek previous
between New York and Washington /; but the
President was too old bird 70 be caught
with such chaf. Judge Pierpont made n
dead set at President Johnston to induce him
to write letter He besieged the White
House for two days, but all his eloouence and
address we're lost upon the reticent Execu-
tive Ry the way, there were some letters
sent TO prince john" chairman Of the com.
mittea of Arrangements, which have not seen
the light One was from Gen. Sherman, an.
other from Gen. Grant, another from Secre.
tsry Seward, and still another from Secretary
MuCulloch. None of these have yet been
given to the public. Rumor has it that they
are of such a character that the Tammany
people would rather they should not see the
light, and that hence they were withheld from
the public. The dinner cost Tammany some
money but doubt whether it paid expenses
in the result.

NEW YORK, Jan. 70.
The Tribune's Washington special says
the U. S. Consul at Manchester, England,
under date of january 9th, informs the De-
partment of State, that the cattle disease has
made frightful progress, the cases for the
week ending the date of his dispatch, being
1893, an increase of l,437 upon the returns
Of the previous week. He reports that the
authorities are making every exertion posi-
BILE to restrain the plague, but without
the slightest appearance of success. The
disease, he asserts. has been discovered to
bea some striking analogy to small pox and
many experiments in vaccination are being
made. He says that many of the towns
prohibit the driving in of beeves for
slaughter, and require that they shall be killed
where fed, and the meat only brought to mar
ket. The whole number of cases thus far re-
ported from England is 1859, and IS, 422
have either died or been killed

night Mary Stuart produced for tho third mo since
the Queen Of Tragedy made her debut, aud
lar from there beng any relaxation OF interest
or enthusiasm, tho audience perhaps the most
apprecative OF any since the commenced la
point Of fashion and measured by the standard OF tbs
hau TON usually represented in tho theatres, tho

commensurate with her merits, aud furnishes An ample
endorsement OF the reputation which crowned her
career In Europe That she has TO employ foreign

Is that Of nature, and OF tho heart II is
lanSagc that speaks in every gesture, every ash of

Thus through the most impressive scenes. where tho
