AT WAS HINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. New Years re-
ceptions of 1881 have fully equalled in
brilliancy any our city has ever known.
The crisp cold, exhilarating atmosphere
and good sleighing gave novelty
to no other New Year within the
memory of the present generation has been
known, and added greatly to the enjoy
ment. The White House has, as usual,
been the scene of the greatest interest.
The Marine band, as customary, played
in the large entrance hall during the re-
ception. The long central corridor was
festooned with flags, and further deco
rated with flowers and potted plants.
The parlors were also adorned with
flowers and dollhouse plants. The pro-
gramme of the order of reception, as
previously published, was strictly carried
out. Mrs. Hayes was assisted by Miss
Maria Heron of Cincinnati, Miss Wells
of San Francisco, Mrs. Elizabeth Thomp-
son, and others Secretary Evarts made
the presentations of the members of the
diplomatic corps to the President The
largest number of these were assembled
to-day that ever appeared here on any
one occasion.
AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Jan 1.-The weather mol
Grated very decidedly last night and the
mercury stood by noon to-day at about
thirty-two degrees above zero in sunny
places. This brought out the New
Years callers in considerable numbers,
and the streets during the afternoon pre-
sented a spectacle of unusual gaiety,
banks and public buildings being closed.
while carriages and groups of gentlemen
in holiday attire took the place of hurry
ing workmen and business wagons and
carts. The weather grew colder toward
evening and was quite nipping toward
midnight, A similar condition of tenn
perature prevailed in other points of the
Northwest as far as reports have been
received
AT COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS, Jan 1.--New Years calling
was generally INDUCED in here to-day,
and there was notable absence of wine
or stimulants at private houses, and the
disposition was for an unusually large
number of ladies to receive together at a
WE'LL known residence. Gov Fosters
reception at the executive chamber from
2 to Up was largely attended.
GRACE STEPS IN.
New YORK, Jan. 1.-The day is de-
