The Boston Transcript says the knick-

tradition says, we're not over fond OF
their Yankee neighborS, whose tricks OF
trade bothered them; and the story goes
that the stockade, once extending from
river to river. giving Wall street its
name, was erected to keep of the cheat
ing whites as well as the murderous In
dians. However much Of history or he
ton there may be in these tales, there IS
one instance on record Of a very decided
prejudice against the neighboring col
ony. A recent allusion in New 1 ork

sion led gentleman to hunt up the doc

The social Routine in washington.

A recent Washington letter says So
ciety here is on the rampage. No adj
equate idea can be given to your steady
going, sane Cincinnati people of the wild
social excitement and insanity now DOM
inant here Balls, receptions, private
theatricals, Germans, dinners, suppers,
Danish, apparently all sleep. How these
fair delicate girls go through it all, and
live, | do not understand. A beautiful
young girl from Philadelphia, who is
spending the winter here, stated to us,
last evening that she had been to two
or three receptions or parties every
night during the week, and had never
retired before four clock in the morn
ing; that she always got up between
nine and ten o. clock, SO as to get her
breakfast and be ready to receive by
eleven clock in the morning. And this,
she said, was fair average Of her life
during the winter. How little sense the
parents and guardians of these grown
children hayel What think you, is the
legitimate and natural result of all this
dissipation, this wild excitement, these
late suppers of indigestible food, this
rushing from warm rooms into the cold
night air, with neck exposed or thinly
covered, with bare arms and paper-slip-
pered feet2 Following in the wake of it
all are the gaunt specters of lingering
disease or sudden death.
