spondent of the Sacramento Union says:
There is much gossip here just now about the
quarrels of certain woud-be queens of fashion
able society, and this in connection with the late
visit of Prince Arthur. Six-anG-thirty magnates
of the moneyed arstocracy of New York consti-
tuted themselves the breme dc Ia creme of society
and INVITED the Prince to "a ball at Demonico's 5
reserving to themselves the exclusive right of
saying who should aud who should not be pres
ent at it, After having issued the invitations
the worthy thirty-six discovered that they had
only invited mddle-aged and elderly people
Here terrible mess to begin with. They
mnst have young people to dance, and unfortu-
nately Delmonico's room was limited in size
They. were obliged therefore, TO adopt the un-
pleasant course of recalling some of the invita-
lions and of forwarding them to younger persons
This, of course, caused bitter heart burnings
and it is said that soMe of the ladies refused to
return their cards of invitation, and were act
ualy present at the ball. The committee made
another mistake in drawing up the list of the
young ladies with whom the Prince should
dance. These were selected not accout OF
their good looks, or because they exceled in
dancing, but on account of their wealth or prom
inence. After essaying one or two Of the part
ners appointed to him and finding them not
much TO his liking, the Prince very naturally in
formed tue committee that us it was IA private
ball he would choose his own partners for the
coming dances This was Il crushing blow to
the am bilious hopes of those who had been told
that they to dance with the Prince and
they, one and all, in company with their friends,
left the ballroom in high dudgeon, vowing ven
geance against the committee and the fortunate
usurpers of their royal partner. The commit
tee, too, so bungled matters that they actually
selected two ladies for the Prince to escort to
supper. This, of course, would be great
breach of the eonDendnee of good society, and led
to a perfect war of words between the two ladies
in one of the aute-rooms to which should re-
ceive the high honor. Mrs. A. II. Stewart, the
wife of the rich dry goods dealer, bore off the
palm of victory, and the other lady, the wife of
the most prominent bankers of Wall street. i'm
mediateIy retired from the scene in high state
of Indignation. The consequence of all this is Il
regular emeute in fashionable life. Some elderly
ladies will not accept an invitation TO dinner
party without first receiving an assurance that
certain persons have not been invited The
would-be partners of the Prince will not 90 to
balls where his actual partners are likely to be
present. Former Intimate friends cut one an
other dead in the Park, and make sneerng com
ments on one another as being 'ony shoddy. !"
Time will doubtless throw oil on the troubled
waters of society, and let US hope that experience
will moth lost on these thirty-six wiseacres the
next time they lave chance of entertaining IL
Prince.

Some weeks since sent an account of the ar
rest of false bishop, who was incarcerated at
Fort st. Angelo for his unauthorized assumption

not, as at first supposed, a spy dispatched by
Sgnor Viscont Yenosta, the Italian Minister of

mystery, for the arrest of his tailor has turned
out to be myth but at the cafe de Rome they
say he bought the credentials from the conGden-
tal and incompatible secretary of an Oriental
prelate, who was prevented by i'll health from
appearing at the evangelical rendezvous. At all

case, the prisoner disappeared, and gossips as

Feat OF DEER.-The Sacramento Union of
March 2lst says CAT Agricultural park last
Friday evening race took place between two
bounds and young deer which Robert Allen
has there. The starting place was the northern
end of the track, and from there half way up the
rate was very close, the dogs finally closing
upon the deer and nipping him II little. This
had the effect to increase his speed greatly, and
be bounded across from the east side of the
course to the grand stand at IL rapid rate, gain
ing about thirty feet in doing SO. The picket
fence in front of the grand stand he took very
pretily, but came to grief directly afterward, in
consequence of a collision with II rope stretched
across the track, which tumbled him head over
heels. Gathering himself up before the bounds
reached him, however, he made for Aliens resi-
dence, where he had frequently been petted by
the family. The doors and windows being
closed he made a spring at the window and
passed through pane of glass eleven inches by
Iwenty without breaking the SASH and landed
on the dning-room table--a specimen of venison
sef.served The feat is one which would appear
almost incredible to any one acquainted with
the size of the deer and the aperture through
which be passed"

SUMNER's VIEWS IN GENERAL.-One of the New
York HzrdldS woman correspondents has been
interviewing Senator Sumner in his sanctum T;
and this is the result of it: He opposes recog-
niton of the belligerent rights of the Cubans,
because he thinks they have none to set up be-
youd the claims of Osceola and his Seminoles in
the Florida war, the rowing bands of Crcas-
SLAMS who sometimes annoy Russia, and whom
no nation would pretend to treat as bellgerents
lie thinks that if we recognized Cuba, Spain
would fight us, and that she could destroy $500, :
600 900 worth of our commerce. He thinks the
South will send other colored men besides Rev
els to Congress that Canada is ultimately to be
annexed to the United States and that it is pref.
erable to Mexico, because its people are more
like our own than the Mexicans and that his
opinion is that we shall get Mexico quite as soon
as we ought to desire it. When asked what he
thought about woman suffrage and the possibil-
ity of his occupying a seat in the Senate by the
side of Mrs. Stanton, he treated the queries with
Il smile of derisiOn.

THE REPORTED MASSACRE OF INpIAxs BY U. S.
TRooPs.-General Sherman states that no Indi-
ans Of the Piegan tribe were wantonly killed by
Colonel Baker, as has been stated by Vincent
Colyer. The Sacramento Union, in commenting
on the " Last Infamy of the Indian Ring
says:
Incredible as it may seem, there was in fact
no such massacre as that reported against Colonel
Baker. No women aud children were murdered
as stated The story coucocted by the
agents of the Indian "ring" out of whole cloth
There was no other foundation TO work upon
save that Baker had overtaken band of the
most atrocious Indians the continent and
gave them very severe lesson in the art of war
by killing large number of men and destroying
the supplies in their camp. The latest reports
utterly contradict the story of the murder oi
women and children and the sick. The imme-
dlate author of this base talsehood turns out to
be one Colyer, and this man is actively back ed
in his statements by the entire ''ring" combina.

A Subject for National Inquiry.

The recent catastrophe in the oay of Yedo
oughtto be the subject of serious inquiry on the
part of the American government, and there
fore deserves more than a passing mention.
That the English steamer BOm6ay on the night
of the 28th of January 1870, on a starlit, storm
less night, in deep water channel several miles
in width, collided. with the American man-of-
war Oneida, causing her to sink in about twenty
fathoms of water, and besides entailing her loss
also caused the untimely death of one hundred
and twelve men, is historical fact; that after
applications to IA British tribunal tor British US
tice, the commander of the Bombay was sus-
pended for six months is also true. This is
- benefit of clergy" with a vengeance. The
evidence brought before the court Of nvestiga-
tion-which court by the way composed OF
brother ottcers-was sufficient to hang before
an impartial jury. The records of maritime loss
OF life show nothing TO surpass the inhumanity
of this great crime. The statements of Eyre
himself ought to satisfy the impartial mind.
Nothing is lacking TO show, that in leaving the
Oneida he knew he was leaving a sinking ship.
When Captain Eyre says, although under oath,
that he did not hear the guns which were fired
but short distance from him yet were heard
distinctly twenty miles away, we don't believe
him. The steward oc the BomJdy stated, on ar
riying at Yokohama, that they had run down a
ship and cut her in to the waters edge and that
be could see the men carrying some person on
deck. Eyre himself on arriving in port that
night made the brutal boast to another Eng
lish officer that he @ had cut the whole quarter
of Il id Yankee frigate and served her bloody
well right" What complications may result
can not be known. Nations do not often 90 to
war because of such occurrence, bat should
justice not be done, and the British captain go
unhung, the fact will rankle in the hearts of the
American people, perhaps to burst forth upon
the very first pretext.
