DINING AND DANCING AT THE CAPITAL
The Washington correspondent of the Bso,on
Post writes in late letter: Dining. wining.
and dancing go on vigorously at Ills Capital
To be sure, Senator Sumner fae ceased to
astonish the new French ministers with in
vitations to dine for three days in week,
but the idea thereby sought to be conveyed.
that we were the most hospitable and erudie
people of the world, is doubtless fully estal-
lished in the impressible noddle of the en-
peror's latest agent. The grand reception
of the l4th repeated itself with even more
eclat than pertained No. |. Every one was
there, even to ex-Confederate General Kirby
Smith, and the manner in which crinoline
was crushed to earth never to rise again.
was at once caution and a madness to the
wearers thereof.
Colfax calls all the world about him every
Thursday evening, nowadays, and the masses
acknowledge the inequalities of the speaker
''trippingly upon the tongue" and toe, in
response to his own happy welcome and the
primitive inspiration of single violin and
piano. The president, too, has begun Sc
ries of dinners-which are yet to feed the
entire list of senators, and some Representa-
tives, without distinction of political color
Chief Justice Chase also counts himself in
the range OF entertainers and entertained,
and goes everywhere, when not hob nobbing
with the multitude at home. In the same
category come the afternoon receptions of
the ladies of the cabinet ministers and the
White House, and so between them there is
such plentude of liveried equipage, gorge
GUS apparel and transcendant (etc.) lowell
ness, continually on the move, that it is diff
ficult to realize "whither we are drifting,
inevitable revolution, or :" president i'm

A PREDIC4IfEVT.

Up at Schuylkill Haven, Pennsyvania
there is an old lock tender on the canal
whose weight averages from 800 10 400
pounds. He is weighed down with fat and
in summer time lies down and goes to sleep
at any time Of the day, in the first cool place
he can find.
A shor, time ago he became very sick.
His son, a little fellow aged about IA or Ii
years. met n gentleman on the street and
said TO him in most dolorous tone of voice
-" Mr.. ---, pops sick, and he's up stairs,
The gentleman snilingly replied, . well,you
would not have him sick iD the cellar, would
you p 'Yes,' answered the boy, but he's
sick up stairs, and suppose he dies, how the
ID will we ever get him down." The evil
dent earnestness of the boys perplcxity and
trouble made his reply decidedly amusing,
especially as his worriment did not seem to
proceed from any fear of losing his father,
but the evident difficulty of getting such an
unwieldly corpse down their narrow stairs.
The story was told to us by a gentleman
of this city who recently visited Schuylki
Haven, and who vouches for its truth.
