INVITATION TO THE HON. HORACE
GREELEY.
Mrs. Stanton having heard that
the Hon. Horace Greeley had pri-
vatcly indulgcd in sundry growls
at her political course on Various
occasions, and feeling, moreover,
that the sage of Chnppaqua had
proved himself somewhat horeti-
cal upon the woman question,
suggested that lie should be tho
first guest. This was agreed to,
and the lady consequently wrote
tho philosopher an invitation to
breakfast. 1t was accepted with
out comment. Duo preparation
was therefore made, aud the rose
ale little reception room on the
entrance door was duly busted,
and hung with portraits. In the
centre of them all, like Cupid a.
mong the nymphs, was n picture
Of the Hon. Horace Grcclcy.-
Perchcd above was a female Vic
tory triumphantly driving Mars
in Il chariot.
TIE PHILOSOPHER BEFORE TIME.
Breakfast had been ordered at
II quarter past eight, yesterday
morning, though the invitation to
the distinguished guest specified
eight as the chosen hour. Mr..
Greeley camo at half past seven,
while Mrs. Stanton was yet giving e
tho finishing touches to a. supcrb
toilet Of black barcgc, trimmed
with blue ribbons, and was placing
a peculiar and tasteful black net
npon the chignon at the back of
her snowy curls.
AS tho bell rang, Mrs. Anthony,
in her usual black dress and gold
spcctaclcs, with u crimson crane
shawl, opened the door. "You
see, Mr.. Grcclcy," said she to tho
philosopher, "l am always up and
dressed, and ready: Mrs. Stan
ton, as usual, is behindhand."
MRS. STANTON APPEARS.
Mrs. Stanton speedily came
down stairs, her rosy faco Lrim
":::::;;'y VIE sm:!!os and !.umor. The
two shook hands, and the lady en-
throncd hcrsclfin sky-bIuc arm
chair. Tho philosopher dropped
upon II soft couch Of crimson. Mrs.
phelps then entered the room,
gorgoously arraycd in black silk
Hnd pcn-green ribbons, with an
imposing head-drcss. Miss An
thony soon joined thc party, and
requested them to walk below.
The staircase was narrow. They
went down in single file, Shaker
style. The fair President was alb.
sent; she was Iocturing upon wo-
man suffrage in California and the
Territories. Mrs. WiIbour was al-
so absent.
THE BREAKFAST.
The breakfast table was Il blaze
Of beauty. Huge bouquets were
scattered among the dccantcrs.
Thoir perfume was mingled with
tho aroma Of n juicy steak, which
was nostlcd in n fringe Of parsley.
A bakod fish foatod in u pattor
ofmcltod butter. Scrambled eges,
bordorod and dotted with swoot
hcrbs, smiled at Mr.. Greoloy, and
pots, Of coffee, chocolate and ton
awaited his pleasure. Odorous
melons, peaches, and bananas en-
circlcd tho principal flower vase,
clusters of ln,ious grapes clung to
its gilded sides, and milk white
rolls throw their warm inccnso
over Mr.. Groeley's head.
Tho conversation grow witty
and brilliant.
