NEW YORK, May PA London letter
says the absence on recent occasion OF
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, from
the Queens drawing-room, has naturally
attracted attention, and revived the rumOrs
of dispute as to precedence. The Duke
and Duchess went to q former drawing
room, and Il was supposed that matter had
been satisfactorily settlhd, but it seems
that there is still hitch some where. The
Duke of Edinburgh ranks next to the
Prince of Wales, but the point is whether
the Duchess should come next to the
Princess. In the case of the Princess
Louise and the Marquis of Lorne, husband
and wife are separated, the husband being
relegated to the rear with gentleman in
waiting. Another grievance Of the Ouch
ess is said to be, the poor and Insignificant
appearance of the Clarence House, which
is to be her permanent home as soon as
the repairs are completed, and stands in
what is known as the stable-yard of st,
James, and though it has St. James Palace
ON one side and the Sutherland House on
the other, still 1t occupies an obscure and
backward position. The Clarence House
has been considerably enjoyed, and the in
terror is well enough, but its exterior as
pect will be mean and shabby looking.
For the want Of a proper entrance, it is
like house in an alley. There has been
some talk Of the Duke of Edinburgh
purchasing a magnificent house al Kensing-

Days Enjoyment.

At IL o'clock A. NJ. yesterday, the mem
bers Of the Association OF Medical Superin-
tendants of Insane Asylums, Immediately
af,er the adjournment of their morning

Enthusiastically cordial and graceful man
ner, Mrs. Cheatbam being assisted in doing

! Eve, Mrs. Felix Demoville, Mrs. John C.
BuTch, Mrs. Sallie Carter, of Franklin,
Miss Katie Burch, Mrs. t. S. Weaver and
Miss Mary Weaver.
A pleasant half hour was spent in conver-
sation and in examining the thousand and
one euriosities and rare paintings for which
this elegant mansion is famous. Then re-
freshments were served, after which the
guests passed out on the spacious grounds
on tour Of inspection, bringing UP finally
at the immense conservatory filed with the
choicest floral specimens from all countries,
making the air beavy with a mingling of
perfumes. After bidding their hospitable
host and hostess reluctant farewell, the
party returned to their vehicles and were
safely landed at the Maxwell.
AT ASH BARRACKS.
At half past five P. NJ, the party entered
carriages and were rapidly whiried out to
the barracks, where they were accorded the
true and heartfelt welcome Of the soldier,
a. the hands Of Gen. Pennypacker and his
corps of officers Tie honOred guests were
received only as the American soldier can
receive; that is, with bluff yet hearty vel
cnine, and words that fell not lightly, but
sank into the heart 10 rest there as a token
Of sincerity for lifetime.
The guests, soon at er their arrival, were
ushered into the cosy apartments of Gen.
Pennypacker, AID sparkling TASKS, de an
ters and lOng-necked bottles, gurgled forth
a welcome which was echoed back from
gliitering gOblets and generous glasses,
wherein sparkled half a score of delicate
wines and aromatic spirits. Here the sub
tie extract of Pennsylvania old rye, the con-
servative old Bourbon of Kentucky, and
the seductive fluid Of Robertson county
met, as did the fIT-slimmOned guests, on
one commonplace.
Tnasts were drank, and then the guests
assembled on the parade grounds to wit
ness the evOlutiOns Of the troops. and listen
TO the music of the Incompatible Sixteenth
Infantry Band, under the direction Of its
accomplished leader, Capt. Gibson. The
movements of the troops received and de-
served, the cOmmendaiion Of all present, for
the precision with which the manual Of
arms and evolutiOns in line were executed.
After the dismissal Of the parade and haul
ing down Of the colOrs, al sunset, rounds of
'Istirup-cups," were quaffed, and then the
guests took regretfIIl leave Of their hOspi-
table entertainers, ,re-entered theircarriages
and dashed away to the city.

A Tribute 10 she Memory Of the Late

We publish with a melancholy pleasure this
touching tribute, from the pen Of = lady well

To live, to suffer and to die Is the common lot
OF humanity; but there are points Of character
which, If treasured, 60 beyond the hearts that
enshrine the dear departed, and incite einula-
tion by review Of the patience, perseverance,,
and cheeriness under difficulties; or, as Moore
aptly expresses it, ga heart for every fatep The
noble woman, whose memory prompted these
lines, was richly endowed by nature with fine
qualities of mlnd and heart, WHICH, under skill
ful culture, ripened into rare social and dOmes-
tic virtues, the croyning features Of a true
womanis life. All who came in her presence felt
the inspiration Of her cheerful greeting, winning
smile, and easy, graceful manners, bespeaking
the refined lady. Living in our city for years,
she drew around her a circle OF friends true as
steel, who knew and appreciated her worth; and
now, since she has passed down sthe valley of
the shadow Of DEATH" viii honor and cherish
her memory. It was as wife and mother her

who can estimate all she was to them? her un-

to take their places among the honored men and

Of her labOrs, and feel her efforts were not in
vain. May these noble sons and fair daughters
