A Originating woman.

Washington Post.
One of the ladies who have enjoyed
a more universal reputation as an
American belle, Mrs. Sallie Ward
Armstrong, is about to marry for the
fourth time. No heroine of romance
has ever had a more varied career
than this lady, whose beauty, though
great in youth, was always second to
her powers of fascination, which she
still retains to so great a degree that
no sooner is she free than a claimant
for her hand seeks to win her. Her
first husband was Bigelow Lawrence,
of Boston, from whom she was di-
vorced in less than a year by special
act of the Kentucky Legislatures Her
married life with DR.. Hunt, her sec
ond husband, was very happy, but he
fell from a window of a hotel in
Chicago and was killed, soon after the
close Of the war, during which he had
served in the Confederate army
After several years of widowhood
Mrs, Hunt married Mr.. Armstrong, q
little more than two years ago. This
also, was a happy marriage, but lasted
only about a year, being dissolved by
his death. The gentleman whom she
is soon to wed is Major Downs, q
Louisville merchant, of suitable ago
and fortune.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
MEMPHIS, November p, 1881 have
Unexpectedly been brought before the
public, but so lOng as | nm defended by
the LEDGER, | fear no danger. The LED
GER is a bold, independent paper, ever
ready to battle for the right, and does not
consider itself bound to sneeze whenever
the government takes snuff. In the first
place, / will say the notice in the LEDGER
was written without my knowledge. ]
know some might think / was venting my
spleen, and was relating my sorrow to the
press, yet the LEDGER will say, | have
never, either directly or indirectly, men
toned to any one connected with the
paper, a single word concerning my dis
placement, at which my friends are justly
displeased. ] hasten to say that the
usual assessment did not enter into this
affair, so far as l know; and here
/ will say in behalf of the
late postmaster, Mr.. Thompson, was g
gentleman in every sense Of the word,
and a true friend Of mine, and one whom
| shall ever defend if need be; that he wa.
opposed to those political assessment
which were made by the department anC
not by postmasters. Think that all disinter
ested persons will admit of the truth o
the last six lines Of the LEDGER's article
| did apply for my place upon my return
and so far as ] am concerned, ! don't thinl
| have asked any unreasonable favors o
this branch Of the postoflice department
and am sure / don't feel myself under an!
special obligations to those having charg,
Of the same. CHARLES B. CREAMER.

PROBLEMS OF ETIQUETTE.
Some Which Have PerpIexed the Social
Law-GiVers.

Washington Post.l
In regard to the cabinet great con-
fusion of opinion prevails as to the
question of social precedence, and
though it is a question which needs
be settled only on occasion of state
dinners or official receptions, the Post
would not be fulfilling the whole duty
of man unless it stated the case fully.
The order to be discovered is the pri-
GRITTY in which the officers were created,
viz: The State, the treasury, the war,
navy, the general postofice, the in
terror and the department Of justice.
The difference of opinion as to who
should receive the first visit, the cabi-
net officer or the senator, is gradually
being decided in favor of the senator.
This first visit seems to have
been an apple of discord at a very ear
ly day. 1t is of this that Mr.. Adams
letter before referred TO chiefly treats,
and he quotes unanimously from
Mrs. Adams" what she did and
what she did not do. After all it is
the women who watch the social
boundaries and carry on in Washing
ton parlors the wars of the political
arena. For this senatorial claim to
precedence is based on the argument
that the senator represents State
sovereignty, while the cabinet officer
is simply appointed and depends on
tho confirmation of the senate Still
the senator is also subject to the State
legislature, and so-of course - and
yet such. is the dignity and response
bility of a cabinet officer that-well
the massive brain of the Post reels
under such a weight of argument, and
can only feebly suggest that official
dining-tables be made like that cele-
brated table in John 0'Groat's house.
where eight jealous brothers of the
house of O'Groat sat down each one
at the head of the octagon table.
