New York Tribune.1

One Of the Grand Dukes is credited,
on the authority of lady who passed
part of the evening in the box set apart
for the Russian visitors at the Lady
Washington Reception-with an express
sion of surprise at the freshness and
magnifcence of some of the toilets W orn
on that occasion. More beautiful and
extravagant costumes, he is reported as
adding, are not to be seen on public
occasions even in European courts.
Probably the most elegant toilet seen at
the late reception, or at any other in
this city during the winter, is thus de-
scribed: The dress proper was of cream
white satin, stiff enough to stand alone,
with long train, and a partly flowing
Watteau of black Lyons velvet falling
ever the satin train. The Watteau was
almost entirely covered by old round
point lace turned back upon the velvet,
showing the entire pattern of the lace.
Over the white satin front of the dress
was more black velvet, draped with
point lace founces garnished with novel
designs in flowers, consisting Of tour
nures of pansies, pinks, apple-blossoms,
Narcissus and autumn leaves fringed
with lilies of the valley. The Watteau
was held back by bouquets of flowers
from the waist down. The bodice was
cut square, both in front and behind,
very low, and with short sleeves gar
nished with flowers and lace. The fan,
designed to suit the toilet, was round
edged with marabout feathers and a
narrow founce Of round point lace, the
sides representing natural lilies of the
valley and violets and (the reverse) tea
roses and cardinal buds. The ornaments
were diamonds exclusively, and were of
immense value. The necklace was COM
posed of nineteen diamonds, the biggest
fully as large as a mans thumb nail, and
the smallest about the size of the little
finger nail. They were strung upon a
chain of so delicete workmanship that
the diamonds almost covered and con-
cealed it. The pendant was cross of
eleven diamonds of the size of the
smaller ones in the necklace. The ear
rings were solitaires each Of a karat or
two less in weight than the largest of
the necklace. The bracelets were two
bands of gold, black enameled, with five
diamonds in each. The forty-two dia-
monds are estimated in value at about
$25,000. The cost of the entire toilet
must have been immense. The wearer
is the wife of a prominent politician
and theatrical manager, Mr.. Sheridan
Shook,

objection would have prevented action upon
it to-day, but no objection was interposed,
and the vote upon the question Of confirming
was taken by ayes and nays, and resulted,
ayes 81. nays 2, the negative votes being
cast by Democrats. This vote seemed to be
regarded as test of the strength of the op-
position to the remaining nominations, and
no further opposition was made against any
of them beyond a demand for the roll-call
in the cases of Schurz and Evarts. The vote
on Scurz's nomination was A for confrma-
ton and sgainst. The vote on Evarts's nom-
ination was about the same. Quite number
of Senators on both sides abstained from
voting, and the few negative votes in each
instance were cast by Democrsts. Senator
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, voted for Egarts,
Schurz and Key, remarking his vote for
Evarts was under what he regarded as
the instructions of his committee, the
Foreign Relations, which had instructed him
to report favorably. The nominations of
George w. McCrary to be Secretary of War,
Richard W. Thompson TO be Secretary OF
the Navy, and Charles DeVens to be At
torney. General, were confirmed without q
| roll call or even division.
