sincere thanks for the cordial reception which
had been given to the embassy ne would beg leave,

insensible to the bewitching smiles. Indeed they
created most favorable impression and seemed de-
lighted by the passing scenes. Their interpreters
fully explained the proceedings to them, and
throughout the entire evening they evlncea
the greatest rapture at the attention and
courtesy which were exhibited towards them.
They inspected the several literary, chemi-
cal and numerous other arrangements OF the
club. with which they expressed themselves
highly pleased The music was Irresistible, and the
charming airs from favorite pieces soon aroused
the erpschorean propensities OF the ladies' fair and
gay cavaliers, who quickly resolved themselves into
whirling couples to the inexpressble enchantment
of the wondering visitors. Throughout the evening
Mr.. Burlingame cOnversed with many distinguished
gentlemen present and entered fully into the kindly
spirit evinced by his numerous hosts. Altogether
the reception was great success, both IN attend"
ance, sincerity and its hospitality.
