ton Among the DarLies-Amours Of a
Member of IA Foreign Legation and an Afri-
can Belle.
There Is considerable talk just now in Washington
circles about an GDdtre glamour between a certain
young gentleman connected with one or the foreign
legations here and q certain colored young lady,
who Is described extremely beautiful and attrac-

unpleasant to the gentleman who constituted the
hero OF the scandal that he ned from this city TO
New York for protection. Altogether IL is about
the largest social scandal Of the season.
