Correspondence OF the Hartford Times
Washington, Feb. 2-The recep-

of the finest, if not the finest Of the
season. Mrs. Belknap herself ID the

is a brunette, with brilliantly fresh
complexion, and soft, speaking eyes.
Her form is perfect, and so is her
dress; but ! cannot go into detail. ]
only know that it left a general i'm
preston of harmony and good taste.
Mrs. Belknap is said to have the most
exquisite taste Of any woman in Wash
iugton.
Her mansion is in faultless taste
with its crimson and gold paper
hangings, lis Turkey velvet and Per.
sian carpets, its ottomans and sofas
in crimson and blue satin, its Chairs
OF various styles-some with backsof
gilded bars tell the printer not 10

mosaic tables, its heavy stain curtains
its crystal chandeliers,is Sevres clocks
and vases, and many other things |
can't recall, going to make up a scene
of exquisite refinement and taste,-
where were blended the odors ofrare
flowers scattered everywhere.
In the dining room we set down
for little refleshment, for we could
not resist tho temptatian of cup Of
coffee in the exquisite little sea green
aud white China cups, with their tiny
gold spoons.

TINE To Cur TIMBER.-Dr. Hart
ing. who has made numerous expert
ments to determine the point, states
that March and April are the best
months in which to cut timber for
building purposes, as it then contains
its lowest per cent. Of moisture, which
he states TO be AZ per cent. Daring
the three previous months it has 81
per cent. and in the three following
ones 48. He further states that prop
erly seasoned timber should not con-
tain more than 20 to 25 per cent. Of
moisture, and never less than 10 per
cent. II the moisture is removed to a
still greater extent the wood loses its
strength and becomes brittle. An
English authority states that if trees
are felled as soon as they are in full
leaf, and allowed to remain undistur-
bed until the leaves dry up and fall
off, the timber will be found well
seasoned, the leaves having exhausted
all the moisture in the wood.

INFLUENCE OF FEMALEs.-It is bet

INFLUENCE OF FEMALES. 1t is bet
ter for you to pass an evening once or
twice week in a lady's drawing
room, even though the conversation
is slow, and you know the girls song
by heart, than in a club, tavern, or
the pit Of a theater. All amusement
of youth to which virtuous woman
are not admitted, rely on it, are dele
terious in their nature. All men who
avoid female society have dull pere
ceptions and are stupid, or have gross
tastes, and revolt against what is
pure. Your clup swaggerers, who
are sucking the butts of billiard cues
all night, call female society iasipid.
Poetry is uninspiliDg to a yokel /;
beauty has no charms for blind nan;
music does not please a poor beast
who does not know one tune from an
other; but as true epieure is hardly
ever tired of water, sancey, and
brown bread and butter l protest |
can sit for a whole night talking to a
well regulated kindly woman about
her girl Fanny, or her boy Frank, and
like the evenings entertainment. One
of the great benefits man may de-
rive from women's society is that he
is bound to be respectful TO her. The
habit is of great good to your moral
men, depend upon it. Our education
makes OF US the most eminently selfish
men in the world. We fight for our
selves, we push for ourselves, we yawn
for ourselves, we light our pipes and
say we won't go out, we prefer our
selves, and our ease; and the greatest
good that comes 10 man from swo-
mans society is, that he has to think
OF somebody to whom be is bound to
be constantly attentive and respectful
