TIE SELF SHOOTING OF. JAMES
WHITING. yesterdays JOURNAL
we gave an account of the suicidal
attempt IF James Whiting, who shot
himself through the head on Tuesday
night, and stated that the probabili-
ties were that he would be dead before
the account was read in our paper.
But, singular to relate, the unfor-
tunate man was still alive at l o'clock
this morning, although we are as
sured that there is no possibility of
his recovery. In nine cases out of
ten, the person so injured would have
died in a few hours at farthest
Whiting held the pistol near the top
of his head. little to the right side,
when he fired, aud the ball ranged
downward, entering the brain, and
remaining there. The bullet tore a
terrible hole in the top of his head
large enough to Put in three fingers.
His left side has been paralyzed
since he shot himself. and he has
not moved his left arm or leg. His
right leg and arm, en- the contrary,
are continually moving. He has been
insensibla ever since the accident, ex-
cept for few minutes. on one or two
occasions. He had fever last night,
with slight spasms, but laudanum was
administered to cause sleep. On last
Christmas Day, he threatened to
drown himself, and went down to the
river bank. lie was watched by some
of the family, and after standing by
the waters edge for a short time. he
returned to the house. Whenever he
has been drinking lately. he has

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Sun is responsible for the fol-
lowing premonition of royalty in the
purlieus and privacies of the erst-while
old-fashioned White House:
The regular annual round of pleasure
and social FESTIVITIES in the capital of the
Republic was inaugurstei during the last
week by an unusually liberal programme
at the White House. On Tuesday Mrs.
Grant gave her first grand dress reception
in the afternoon. Ga Wednesday evening
occurred the first Of the winter series Of
Presidential dinners. On Thursday even
ing the President held his first levee.
The inauguration of tbese fashionable
designations at the White House was an
ticipated with unusual esgerness by the
butterflies that gather here for their win
fer's pleasure aud show, the more 80 be-
cause of the prevalent expectation that
Presidential entertainments promised for
this winter will b. far ahead Of anything
10 the past 10 point of splendor aud dis
play. Not only had the elegant salons
Of the Executive Mansion been exten
sively oveihauled, brushed Up aud re-
fitted for the entertainments, but what
added more to their sttrsctiveness was
the style and pretensions that character.
lied them.
The mere fact that the Presidents wife
was 10 be present, 10 her eyer-varying
and magnificent toiettes, the product Of
the skill, taste and resources Of the "a
nous Partisan man milliner, Worth, who
alone has the honor Of making her
dresses, weuld of itself have been an al.
traciive card. But eyond this, European
style vas introduced for the first time 10

In fact, the White House is no longer

sumpluousness Of the princely courts O
