Reception Days of Washington Danes.

MANY Washington ladies have begun
their reo71Iar receptions Mrs. Strong
and her daughters received on Monday,
the dav the families of Justices OF the
Supreme Court are usually at home TO
visitors. Miss Waite, the Chief Justices
daughter, and Mrs. Field also received
last Monday.
General Sherman's wife and daugh-
ters receive on Tuesdays, and MIS-
Audenreid is one of the many. other
ladies who are to be found at home on
Tuesday. Her mother, Mrs CoIket' OF
Phlladelphia, has been visiting her, and
one of our city papers speaks eloquentIy
of Mrs. Colket's pleasing appearance
On Wednesday some Of the Cabinet
families held receptions at their resi-
denees, and had many visitors Mrs
Eyarts had the assistance OF her eldest
unmarried daughter and her youngest
child, Miss Louise, the beauty OF the
family. Many of the gentlemen and
ladies of the foreign legation called on
them. Mrs. John Sherman, Secretary
ThomDson's wife and daughters, and
Secretary Schurz's second daughter
also were at home to visitors "Wednesday.
The season for receptions may now pc
fairly considered begun for the winter
In this connection it is OF interest to re-
call that the first ladies to establish
weekly reception days IN washington
were the late Mrs. Gales and the late
Mrs. Asbury Dickens. The husband of
the latter was for a number OF years
Secretary of the Senate.
On Thursday the Cabinet families and
many of the gentlemen and ladles OF III. Ille
diplomatic corps called on the families
of senators. Among those who received
were Mrs. Randolph of New Jersey
Miss Randolph will not come until
next week, as She is to attend the we'd
ding of cousin at YOnkers, N T., on
the 9th) Mrs. Morrill, Of Vermont, and
beT. sister. Miss Swami, and Mrs. George
III. Pendleton and her daughters. This
last family has been most cordially
welcomed here, for Mrs. Pendleton, when

mill at Bennington, VT, lost his life by the
burning of his mill on the Goth. Mrs. Stone
is crazed with grief at her husbands terri
BILE death.
The large corset and suspender factory Of
West, Bradley & Cary, on West Twenty
ninth Street, New York, burned on the night
of the 22d. Twenty women were in the
building and barely escaped with their lives.
Four of them were severely injured by jump
ing from the windows, and two firemen were
badly hurt by falling debris.
Two Irish lads, Edward Harvey and
James MCGEE, peddlers of dry-goods, were
murdered on the night of the 10Th near Jer-
nigan, Russell County, Ala, and their
bodies thrown into the Chattanooga
River. The murder was discovered the
next day, when two negroes were arrested.
These confessed, duplicating two others. A
large crowd of whites and blacks assembled
on the following day, Sunday, and decided
to hang the two murderers, which was done
forthwith. They displayed a sullen indiffer-
ence, and asked no mercy. The two others
implicated had not been arrested at latest
accounts.
The steamer Borussia, which left Liver
pool, Nov. 20, for New Orleans, with 234 per-

COMMERCE. AND INDUSTRY.

The Secretary of the Interior has rendered
a decision that, whenever, prior to patent
ing, it is discovered that land previously Of
fered and entered as agricultural is really
mineral in its character, the entry must be
cancelled and the land reserved for the entry
under laws specially applicable to mining
lands.
1t is developed by the evidence of one of
the bankrupt dry-goods firm of Stettauer
Brothers, Chicago, that the various individ
uals composing the firm had lost, since the
spring of 1878, nearly $3.50, ,O09 by speculations
in grain and provisions.
A private exhibition of Edison's electric
light and lamp was made in his laboratory
on Christmas Eve, which was witnessed by a
number of correspondents. All concur in
declaring it a complete success, so far as
they were able to determine. Several of the
lamps, it was claimed, had been burn
ing for over 100 consecutive hours without
any apparent diminution in their luminosi-
ty. Edison asserts that the electricity
requisite to supply one burner during the
night viii during the day furnish sufficient
motive power to run sewing machine, and
ali at an expense of about four cents for the
"A hours.

of the prisoners. Gen, Hatch refused to go
unless all the prisoners demanded by the
Commission were surrenderd. 0uray asked
for further time, and five days more were
granted him to deliver them at Cline's
Ranch, so miles from here on the road to
Alamosa, at which place Gen. Hatch viii wait
their coming. Ouray is either playing double
game or is unable to accomplish what he at
tempts. The snow is from to 10 feet deep
in the range, and the General is compelled
to build sleighs in order to make the trip, of
the success of which the Commission are
somewhat doubtful, and believe the Army
will yet be called upon to settle the Ute
question.
An official dispatch from Gen. Roberts to
the Viceroy of India announces the defeat
and dispersion, on the 23d ult., of the enemy
around CabuI. The fight was brought on by
an attack from the Afghans, 6,OOO strong.
Gen. Roberts made counter attack, charg-
ing with his cavalry and artillery and rout-
ing the enemy in one quarter, while Gen.
Cough, who had OppOTtunely arrived with his
achievements, held them in check else
where. The Bala Hissar and the city of Ca
bul were subsequently occupied by the
British troops. The battle field was COW
cred with the corpses of the slain.
Genonsmo, the Apache Chief, with IS of
his band of Indians, has surrendered to the
military authorities at Fort Rucker and will
be sent to San Carlos Indian Reservation.
This is the band which has been depredating
for some months past along the border, and
did much of the work credited to VictOria's
band. This virtually wipes out all renegade
Indians. in Arizona and on the borders.
A destructive fire occurred in Boston on
the night of the 2Sth. 1t started in the rear
of Houghton, OsgOod sS Co.'s publishing
house, on Devonshire Street, which was en-
tireiy destroyed, together with a number of
adjacent buildings on Franklin and Federal
Streets. The total loss is estimated at from
$500, 900 to 100000, while the insurance
is correspondingly heavy.
A special dispatch from Los Pinos 10 the
Denver TTib3Hoe,F dated-25th, represents the
situation there as very grave. Hatch has
given up all hopes of securing the Indians,
and as his departure is tantamount to a dec
laration Of war, much anxiety is felt as to his
fate. There are.seYern hundred braves near
Los Pinos, and the whites, all-told, will no
number p. The roads are blocked UP with
snow and are only passable for light buck
boards, and the Indians have the whites
completely trapped. Those in for it are:
Hatch, Nalois, w. i. Saunders of Virginia,
the Denver Tribune correspondent, Il sol
diers and the agency employees. General
Adams is in Denver. 1t is believed that
troop of cavalry under Mckenzie, stationed
at Fort Garland, has been ordered to make a
forced march to Los PinOs at once, but they
can not get there before the Indians attack
unless Ouray succeeds in keeping them
quiet little longer.
