Tho summer neutrality-suspicious. Of thc
Whole DuGiculty..
The New York correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial tells the follow
ing: 1t WAS my fortune, ut o dinner
party the other night, to be seated next
a little lady gotten up by art and nature
regardless of expense or appearance.
Looking over the personnel of my pretty
n%cighbor, for a point on which to lodge
a little conversation, my eye fell on the
ehignon. The dear little thing had piled
oil her hair, purchased and grown, upon
the top of her precious little head. So
l remarked the singular fashion now
prevailing, and told Of Miss Araminse
Louisa Mahaly Bowlegs, daughter of the
celebrated Camanche chief, now OF Mrs.
HIS celebrated female school, who was
the envy of all the girls, on account of
her numerous, magnificent ehignons, fur
nished by her illustrious papa, from the
scalps of his enemies.
This little histoire did not seem to
please my fair nearer, and with the tact
peculiar to her sex, she changed tho
subject, by asking if had heard Mr..
Summers lecture. I responded by say
ing that from a sense OF duty had made
one of the thousands that gave him
twenty-five cents. each and o counte-
nance.
"Why," she exclaimed, "you GER
tainly don't believe half the scandal
GUS stories the papers have circulated!'
~ am a journalist, my dear madame,
and don't believe anything the papers
circulate. But do you mean to shy that
with this voluminous smoke there is no
fre?"
"None whatever. I know all the
parties, and an acquainted with all the
facts, and there is not a word Of truth
in them. I can tell you that no mar
riage ever created more establishment in
Boston than this; for you must know
that Mrs. Hooper was II fashionable
lady, of the creme de Ia creme, while Mr..
Sumner, socially, is detested.'
$50 you moan to say that the great
Sumner is not considered good society
in the capital of Yankecdom?"
Certainly, | do. His family never
was much, and the best people look
down on him."
"Poor devil !"
"Of course the marriage was nm
astonishment. They wcrc married ut
her sisters house, and no one attend
ed but the family, and after the cere-
mony his newly-madc sister-in-law re-
fused to kiss him."
"My dear madame, you have no idea
how you pain me. I commiscrate
Charles. Pray proceed"
"They were mated, but not matched.
She was a gay, fashionable creature,
fond Of admiration, while he is a settled
old bachelor, fond of himself"
al see. She believed in balls.
Charles believed in Sumner. She want
ed fashionable life. He wanted one who
would sit in wrapt admiration of his
greatness when he was present, and in
his absence amuse herself by reading
all his old speeches, and thanking Prov
idence for all the blessings of such n
husband"
az don't know about that; but l do
know that she come out n Of the most
beautiful and best dressed women in
Washington, and was surrounded by
admirers at every entertainment and it
was common for Mr.. Sumner to ap-
proach her by midnight and say, Mrs.
Sumner, your carriage waits 'Let it
wait, Mr.. Sumner would be tho re.
Spouse. But I am very fatigued, and
wish to 90 home.' I'm that case you
had better 90 home, Mr.. Sumner, would
be the cheerful reply. Whereupon the
circle would smile as the Senator with

"To join the Baron2"
"Not at all; but to join her sister,
with whom she has been ever since.

time given up; but Mrs. Sumner thought

sister; and the house is to be occupied.
That is ALL"
