| Old Neptune must be enjoying himself
this season, for such host of merry, chat
ty, frolicking, pretty girls as are to be
seen flirting with him every day, is
enough to tease almost everybody. You
know the poet tells of certain sage who
was addressed and replied "thusly'
at fashionable party, viz:
"surrounded by ladies, how proud you must be,
Quoth the queen of the group,
| With face full of fun.
All yes, said the sage,
But far prouder he,
Who choosing the lassl
ne surrounded by one."
and here is the jolly old sea god, sur.
rounding hosts of the prettiest, bnxomest
girls of the land, every day. 'Tis grand
sport to be at
| THE BATHING BEACH
at the bathing hour, to see the sights and
enjoy the scenes there presented. AL
aloeg the beach are carriages, the occu
pants watching the bathers, as they
splash and frolic in "the salt sea wave.
and doubtless longing in most cases to be
one of them. And then the bathers, how
eagerly they look for the third breaker,
which is sure to be good big one. How
they jump and splash and prance around
reminding one of the coral regions where
mermaids and mermen are said TO live
See them as they halo at the top of their
voice, to be ready for the next one COM
ing, and hear the shouts of delight a8 they
'scrooch" down just beneath the breaking
crest of great big wave. All tits q
most exhilarating sight, and one, single
view of which would start a whole sea Of
sluggish fe-blood, to double quick mo-
tion.
THE rAoHIUHs
at Newport always present the latest
modes, but there is one grand feature,
one can do or not, just as they wish, can
be sober and retired, still holding their
position in society, or can compete with
the "belle of the season" for the most ex'
quisite toilette.
THE TRUNKS
neTS ILLS sedsUu are IuoI5 pIodISous Liau
ever and such caravansories as come here,
one not used to such sights would be
thunderstruck to see. Why? they are
made this season with Mansard roofs, and
are used as apartments for the nurses and
servants. Of course they are set upon the
lawn in front of the hotel, so, when
placed in shady nook outside of the ho-
tel, the domestic occupants rather have
the worst of it.
THE GREEN MOUNTAINS

and other charming retreats among the
green hills has gone forth broad cast, and

pleasure are daily vending their way

THE SEASON
at Newport is going on apace, and is far
more brilliant and brisk than any of its
predecessors have been. There has never
been such host of summer visitors here
before, as this season. The hotels are
we'll filled, the cottages are all taken, and
fun and recreation are giving new leases
of life to all who enjoy them.

4 PALPABLE SwINDLE. - Recently,
numerous parties in this village, and, as
we learn, in other parts of the country,
have received circulars purporting to
come from the American Dispatch Ex-
press Company" of 176 Broadway, New
York, telling the recipient that that COM
pany holds a package directed to him,
with a small specified charge thereon,
which if not paid within 90 days the
package will be sold. It is an undoubted
attempt at swindle, and people should
beware of it.

WASHINGTON, Mare

WAsHINGToN, March D.
4 report and bill relative to the Inter
Oceanic Telegraphing was submitted to the
House to-day, and ordered to be printed,
privately for use of the committee, and to be
reported back after the subject is further ex-
amined. The bill is designed to regulate all
inter oceanic cables based on the principal
of reciprocity and neutrality, which is not to
be effected by war. This end is to be secured
by treaty with foreign powers. 1t is off
cially known here that the French Govern
ment is willing to withdraw the monopoly OF
twenty years given to the french cable COM
pany, and to give to the americans the same
privilege to lay atlantic cables, in other
words perfect equality in the premise.

Rich Mineral Deposits in New
Mexico.

SAN Francisco, March 4.
Rich mineral deposits have recently been
discovered in New Mexico, situated near the
boundary line of Arizona Territory and the
heart of the Apache Country where the In
dams were fiercely hostile.
The discoveries locate their claims about
the first of February and have brought guam
tity of ore to this city. 1t consists of blue
and black sulphurate; the assaying as high as
$1,000 ton. The principal lode consisted Of
a mass of silver ore 5000 feet in length, 1000
feet in width, and projecting 10000 feet above
the level of the surrounding country. There
is an abundance of wood, water and grass in
the neighborhood, which is 800 miles west Of
Sheridan, Kansas, $50 miles from Elpaso,
Texas and miles from the projected South
ern Pacific Railroad.

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.

WAsHINGToN, March 4.
SENATE. Mr.. Summers motion to take up
the bill for the abolition of the medical So
ciety OF this district of Columbia was re-
Jected, Fl to 26, on account of the absence of
Senator Patterson of n. II.
Mr.. Trumbull completed his speech on the
bill changing the circuits of the U. S. Su-
preme Court, and supporting the authority OF
Congress to impose conditions on nominees
by the President, after which the bill went
over.
Inc funding bill was postponed till Mon
day, and the bill referring to the Quartermas-
ter, and to Commissary General, for all
claims for stores furnished the United States
by loyal persons in states in rebellion udring
the war, and providing, no claims are to be
paid till Congress approprates money, came
up. 1t was advocated by Messrs. Howe and
Rice, and opposed by Mr.. Conkling. The
latter said the investigation would degenerate
into mere audity Of accounts, and that the
government was not liable for such claims,
though as in the case of Sue Murphy, the
loyalty of the claimant was demonstrated.
Mr.. Wood, of New York, rose to make a
personal explanation, denying the report that
originated in the New York Tribune, and
copied in Western papers, that he had ap-
pointed the son of Gen. Gilman (who was not
a resident Of the district to a cadetship, and
asked Mr.. Logan, of Illinois, if there was
anv evidence before the Committee implcat-
ing him.
Mr.. Logan stated that there was testimony
tending to that effect, but it had been correct
ed and withdrawn by the witness who gave it
he acknowledged he was mistaken.
Mr.. Wood then INDUCED in some severe
criticisms on newspaper correspondents and
reporters.
The deficiency BILL appropriating for the
various incidental expenses Of the House
e4G,9l0, was passed.
The Senate bill, repeating the restriction
attached to the act of April 18th, 1863, for
extending the time for the completion of the
first 90 miles of the Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad, was passed-ll0 to SO. The
effect of the bill is to remove the restriction
that the land grant of the Company should be
sold only to actual settlers, in lots of l60
acres, at 81. so per acre.
The Senate resolution, prohibiting the pub
LEGATION in the Globe of speeches not actually
delivered, was referred to the Committee on
Rules.
Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, desired to have
it put on its passage, but Mr.. Cox promised
for the Committee that it should soon be re-
ported back.
The Georgia bill came up and it was
agreed that to day and tomorrow will be Civ
en- to discussion of the bill. No other business
to be transacted, and the vote to be taken on
Monday. .s.T

We forsee the advent for spring wrappings
OF certain dfaped garments called habits, with
revers and cuffs; these will be made of black
silk and worn with dresses of all kinds; but
suits-that is wrappings of the same material
As the dress-will not be abandoned; far from
it. These wrappings will either be wholly
adjusted or wholly loose, and in this case
very short, slashed under the arms and in
the middle Of the back, and with very large
sleeves. In the first case, or when tight fit
ting, the spring costume has now outer gar
ment, properly speaking; the high waist, with
its trimmings, basque, and sashes, composes
with the tunic, the only wrapping, and takes
the place of the adjusted casaque in the Sec
ond case the short, loose paletot is calculated
as little as possible to embarrass the wcarer,
already overloaded with draperies, bows,
fringes, founces, and ruches of all kinds A

We have another cat story, and true one.
A family in this city, gave away tabby,
aged two and one-half years, to another fami-

The cat was blindfolded and carried to her

peared at the window of her old home, appar-
emily desiring admission. The question ar
rises-how did she find her way back? 1t is
said that animals have no reason-nothing
but instinct to guide them; if so, here is an
exhibition of instinct of very high order.
