WAND, gossamer wings, and a diamond star
upon her forehead, holding the hand of her
young mother while she received her guests.
among them he remembers the daughter of the
Mexican Minister, very little girl, represent
Ing princess OF her own country, clothed in
embroidered satin and one blaze of magnificent
oismonds. A son OF the Schermerhorn family
OF New FORK, appeared as Greek boy with the
most elaborate and perfect costume in the
room-he was a beautiful child too. Little
MISS Cuts, afterward Mrs. Senator Douglas,
also eraced the occasion, giving promise OF the
intelligence and beauty which in later years
Ieo captive the great statesman OF the West.
The boys and girls of the famous hepry A.
wise moved upon the scene, the youngest in the
arms OF It's sweet mother, formerly Miss Ser
geant Of Philadelphia. Also some younger
sclons OF Mr. Wickliffe's family, the then Post

etc In TACT the diplomatiQue corps the Cab
met Senate, Supreme Court, House of Repre-.
sentatiyes, and the principal cities of the Union
were represented by the lovely little ones
assembled. But the most noticeable feature of
tne evening was the supper table, where, oppo-
elite the little hostess of three years, sat the
OF adult years admitted to the table, while the
ladies OF the family attended to the children's
wants and distributed gifts from the branches
