From the Portland l0regonl New
Northwest, May 10th, 1881.
The Ne,o Northwest notes with
pleasure the marriage Of Mr.. Benja-
min /. Cohen, editor Of the North
,cest Lac Journal of this city, and
Miss s. Ella Harper, of Shepherds
town, West Virginia, and wishes
them the joy unbounded which their
worth and good qualities merit.
Mr.. Cohen has resided in Portland
but six months, yet in that compari-
lively short time he has by his bust
ness energy and corteous demeanor
gained many friends who win re-
joice with us at his new found hap
piness. We are confident that Mrs.
Cohen will be so warmly welcomed
to Portland that she will never feel
the absence of the noble hospitality
so characteristic of old Virginia fire
sides, whence she has winged her
way to our thriving metropolis of
the New Northwest.

Diplomatic Notes.

It is greatly regretted that the popular
Chilian minister and his family Will leave
Washington permanently before the first OF
April. and Will sail during that month for their
home In Chilli. MI Asia Buruaga has served
here in the Chilian legation twice previous to
his appointment as minister, and when first
here as a bachelor was the intimate friend OF
OF society and whose friendship since their
marriage he has retained. He and his family
therefore especially deplorc leaving Washing
ton, as they are likewise regretted. He was the
godfather OF Mr.. George w. Riggss son, Mr.
Frank Riggs, who Is named for him, and
Riggs,s SON.. Mr.. George Asia Buruaga is
named for Mr.. George W. Riggs. Mr. Asta
Buruaga senior was the groomsman at the first
wedding OF the late Mr. James Il. Carlisle, ac-
compaDyiDg Miss Jessup (now Mrs. Sitgreaves)
who was one OF the bridesmaids. Thus it
will be seen that Mr.. Asia Buruaga has been
much identied with local society here. His
successor, Senor Martinez, has Wife aud two
daughters who are In society.
Baron Mayr, who has been Austrian min
lster here Tor several years will soon take his
leave and will not return. He Is an officer OF
the Hungarian HuSsars, and On occasions when
the diplomatic corps have appeared In court
dress here his uniform has been thought the
handsomest seen.
The French minister and Nine. Oatrey will
spend the coming summer In Europe, travelling
Tor the benefit Of her health. They expect to
return here. which Will greatly please all OF
their acQuaintances.
Mr.. George Neyt, recently of the Belgian
legation here, is now minister to Mexico
MIR. Victor Arthur Wellington Drummond,
who has been for some time secretary of the
British legation In Washington, viii go to Eng
lana Tor the summer, and Will probably be ap-
pointed full minister to some government after
his vacation.
