A Dinner at the White House Sixty
Years Ago. rnr


On Tuesday, William and l repaired
to the palace between and 5 clock,
our carriage setting us down after the
first comers, and before the last. 1t is
customary, on whatever occasion, to ad-
vance to the upper end of the room, pay
your obeisance to Mrs. Madison, cour-
tesy to His Highness, and take seat;
after this ceremony, being at liberty to
speak to acquaintances, or amuse your
self as at another party. The party al
ready assembled consisted of the Treas
urer of the United States; Mr.. Russell,
the American Minister to England; Mr..
Cuts, brother-in-law to Mrs. Madison;
General Van Ness and family; General
Smith and daughter, from New York;
Patrick Magruder's family; Colonel
Goodwin and daughter; Mr., Coles, the
Private Secretary; Washington Irving,
the author of Knickerbocker and
Salmagundi; Mr. Thomas, an Euro
pean; young Russian, Mr.. Poindexter,
William r. King and two other gentle
men; and these, with Mr.. and Mrs.
Madison, and Payne Todd, their son,
completed the select company.
Mrs. Madison very handsomely came
to me and led me nearest to the fire, in
troduced Mrs. Magruder, and sat down
between us, politely conversing on fa-
milar subjects, and by her own ease
of manner making her guests feel at
home. Mr.. King came to our side sane
ceremonie, and gaily chatted with us
until dinner was announced. Mrs. Ma
gruder, by priority Of age, was entitled
to the right hand of her hostess; and /,
in virtue of being a stranger, to the next
seat Mr.. Russell at her left, Mr.. Coles
at the footof the table, the President in
the middle which relieves him from the
trouble Of serving guests, drinking wine,
etc. The dinner was certainly very fine;
but still ! was rather surprised, as it did
not surpass some ! have eaten in Caro-
lima. There we're many French dishes
and exquisite wines, ] presume, by the
praise bestowed on them; but have
been so little accustomed TO drink, that
| could not discern the difference be-
tween Sherry and rare old Burgundy
Madeira. Comment on the quality
Of the wine seems to form the
chief topic after the removal of the
cloth, and during the dessert at which,
by the way, 10 pastry is countenanced.
Ice cream, macoaTOons preserves and
various cakes are placed on the table,
which are removed for almonds, raisins,
pecan-nuts, apples, pears, etc. Candies
wsre introduced before the ladies left the |
table, and ths gentlemen continued half
an hour longer 10 drink social glass. |
Meantime Mrs. Madison insisted on my
playing on her elegant grand piano a
waltz for Miss Smith and Miss Magruder |
to dance, the figure Of which she in
structed them IN. By this time the gen
tlemen came in, and we adjourned to
the tea room, and here in the most de-
hghtful manner imaginable ! shared with |
Miss Smith, who is remarkably intelli-
gent, the pleasure Of Mrs. Madison's
conversation on books, mon and man |
ners, literature in general, and many |
special branches Of knowledge. Inever |
spent more rational or pleasing half
hour than that which preceded our re-
turn home. On paying our compliments ]

BRIGHAM YOUNG

is their leader. He is the head of the
church. He is now seventy years of
age. His personal appearance is far
different from the stereotyped descrip-
tions which have for many years been
going the rounds of the. newspapers.
Brigham Young is of fine physical struc-
ture rather lympathic in temperament,
small boned, and yet staunchly and
compactly built He stands straightly,
about five feet ten inches, shows no sign
Of age in his walk, and weighs about 200
pounds. His head is large, we'll shaped
well balanced, and covered with a luxu-
RANT suit of auburn hair, among which,
here and there, a silyery few may be
seen. HiS forehead is ample and high.
His eyes Sfe blue, not large, but sharp,
searching, and capable of varied and
great expression. His nose is aqui-
line, quite prominent, but symmet-
rical, and, with his well formed
mouth, which shuts firmly and tightly
together, gives Indication of great men
tai energy and indomitable pluck And
altogether the face of Brigham Young
indicates a man Of iron inAeXibility,
much forecast, extraordinary ability and
a vast fund Of good humor. He is not
a sensual-looking man, like President
Grant, nor q wicked-looking one, like
Ben Butler, and is, in my Judgment, a
man of better morals than either of
them. -..-,--...t...-.fs

HealthruIness or San Domingo.

Major Arthur r. Sheldon, an English
gentleman now in New York, who has
spent good deal of time in San Do
mingo, sends to. the New York Times a
statement regarding its healthfulness
that is worth considering in connection
with the question of its annexation to
the United States. He says
"In the month of July, 1864, was in
SANTANA. This was during the insurrec-
ton. The Spanish government sent
three hundred and fifty-fve young fell
lows to garrison the place. Six weeks
afterward but fifteen were left. The
captain, doctor, paymaster, chief en-
gineer and first assistant engineer, and
fifteen Of the crew of the Spanish trans
port San Francisco de Borja, which ar
rived in Samana from Spain in the
same month of July, 1864, died of
yellow fever in the FIVE days that
she lay there. The first assistant
engineer died within twenty minutes
after being attacked, as also did the pay
master Of the steamship Colon. The
steamer Velazco had been on the West
India station since 1861. During the
Spanish occupation of San Domingo she
was used as transport, and in that same
month of July she lost her first assistant
engineer, who was well acclimated, and
who had lived in the West Indies many
years, and her second and third assist
ant engineers, all Of yellow fever. In
fact, during my two years service in the
Spanish army in San Domingo, of which
term considerable portion was spent
on shipboard. in passing from one port

In Washington the test of statesman

the first poker player in the United

which he sees bet and the peculiar

COMPANIONS.

The taxes imposed by the territorial
revenue laws in Utah are only one-haif
of one per cent. on a low valuation, and
so the Mormons exhibit finer public
buildings, greater internal improve
ments, built from and within themselves,
than any other community west of the
Missouri river. And this further demon
strates the superiority of the Mormon
leaders over the Radical leaders, because
it shows them better and honester fnan-
ciers. The general morals of Salt Lake
City are very far exalted above those of
the city of Washington. 1t would be
very evangelizing affair to send Con-
gressmen, who are useless in the national
councils, if it did not leave those bodies
without quorum, out to Salt Lake City,
and have their individual habits recon
structed on thoroughly Mormon basis.

Very careful arrangements are being
made for taking .he census in Great
Britain. The time fixed is midnight of
Sunday, April 2. The first census taken
in that country was in 1901. when the
population numbered l6,302,4 1t is
now expected to exceed 81 100000. This
census win be the seventh.
Bridgeport, Conn, claims to have
fewer facilities for dying than almost
any other place on the continent The
death rate OF Bridgeport for 1870 was
less than ! in 49, In New York the rate
for the same year was in 80; in Phila-
delphia, in 45; in Baltimore, in 81;
in Boston, ! in Al; in Charleston, in
36. In the rural towns Of the Northern
States, l in 67 is the average rate Of
mortality.
The British consuls in China state
that there is a steady increase in the
consumption Of opium in that country.
The Chinese is inferior to Indian opium,
which is therefore likely TO hold its own
in China as an article Of luxury. The
delegates Of the Shanghai Chamber Of
Commerce, who went up TO Yang-tze in
1869, stated that the popular belief is
that four men in every FIVE smoke, and
one-half of the women.
