THINGS THAT BOTHER THE DIPLOMATIC AND FASH
IONABLE ALLEGED MIND.

IoNABLE ALLEGED MIND
IL Is said by those who have been presented al
the Spanish court that In his mode of receiving the
diplomatic corps at his residence on the 13th and
The French and German visitors in the rotunda the
following day, President Arthur adopted the plan
observed at that court On both the occasions
noted, instead OF the President standing, as has
been the case heretofore, in the appointed place
ana awaiting the arrival of visitors who would
pass him In turn, pausing as they did so TO ex,
change greetings, the visitors awaited his arrival
and were stationary while the President ap-
preached, and greeted each I'm turn.
Another feature OF the reception which was no
ticed was that President Arthur and Secretary
Blaine both wore frock coats while all the gentle.
men OF the diplomatic corps not entitled To wear
court uniforms wore dress suits. 1t will be re-
membered that during President Hayes admins
tratiOn, it was long mooted point as to whether
dress or frock coats should be worn by gentlemen
without uniform at the official New Year recep-
ton of the diplomatic corps at the White House
as IL occurs always before noon. President Hayes
always wore dress suit, but Secretary Eyarts
until last New Year, invariably wore frock coat
Last New Year day he followed the Presidents ex.
ample. The diplomats without uniforms used r.
be puzzled to know whether in this respect to fol-
low the example OF the President or the Secretary
OF State.
gentleman not entitled to wear uniform, but
who occupies an important place in one OF the
foreign legations here, speaks of having been
puzzled as to what would be the most suitable
dress to wear when President Garfield's funeral
services occurred at the Capitol. He came to the
conclusion that as those members OF the diplo-
would wear them On that occasion a dress suit
would be the proper one for him, and so he wore
pearing in full dress at funeral while
others think 1t proper to show to the majesty
or death the same Difference In this respect that
they would pay to an earthly sovereign. This is
the custom at funerals of rulers in Europe. AT
two funerals In two private families I'm Washing.
Ton within a few years, one of the chief mourners
took this view OF the case. One was that of the
child OF noted Washington correspondent Here
the father appeared at the funeral In full evening
dress. The other occasion was the funeral OF the
wife OF an army officer, when the husband wore
his full dress uniform in which to escort her the
grave.

How Frederick Douglass Escaped from

HIS OWN STORY OF HIS ADVENTURES.
In the Century Magazine ex-MarShal Douglass,
OF this city, gives an account of his escape from
Slavery. In those days cOlored passengers leaving
Baltimore by rail were obliged to exhibit papers
showing that they were free persons. Douglass
had no freedom PAL ers, but had friend, sailor,
who was supplied with certain government papers
that had at least an official look. Baltimore was
