and party have rather enlivened the
West End during the past week. Sir
Edward Thornton and Acknowledgement
McV eagh dined and wined them while
Secretary Blaine obtained the govern
ment steamer Dispatch and treated
them to an excursion to Mount Vernon
entertaining them to dinner after their
return. Bull Run Russell, who now
likes to be called Doctor (some college
having made him an LID, is the
dukes "guide, philosopher and friend"
and he found a number Of old war &C
quaintances, to some of whom he
apologies for rough remarks at their
expense in his book. Secretary Blaine
is just now up to his eyes in negotia-
ting with Sir Edward Thornton, not
choosing, after Mr.. Evarts' experience
to intrust negotiations to our accomp-
lished and ornamental but sadly in
efficient, minister at London.
THE REAL ESTATE BOOM
still continues, and valuable lots at the
West End are changing hands every
day, many purchasing for the purpose
of erecting valuable houses. First Con-

$4,000; the Hon. Robert NJ. McLane,
of Baltimore, has purchased Mrs. Gen.
Buchanon's house on street for Sill
500; DR.. S. r. Beckwith, of Ohio, has
purchased Mrs. j. P. Simpsons resi-
dence on street for ST., 900; and Mrs.
Platt, wife of the Senator from New
York, has purchased the house Just
built by Secretary Window for $4,000,
an advance Of $4,000 on its cost. He
and Blaine will each build large double
houses during the coming summer on
Scott Square, near the house just fin
ished by Senator Cameron, which is
decidedly the largest and the ugliest
private residence IN Washington.
SENATOR CoNKLING
sold his house on Fifteenth street Il few
years since, and purchased a lot at the
West End, intending to build, but the
GOODNESS between him and his wife en-
sued, and the Senator remains in lodg-
lngs. Just now he has rooms in a
house with Vice-P President Arthur. and
the two are catered for by John Cham
berlain, who keeps the Clubhouse.
