World,

World.
DR.. Alexander Magruder, U. s. N, sails for
France in a few days, having been detached
from duty here and ordered to take charge OF
the medical stores at Vile Franche. He will
be accompanied by his wife, who has has been
as Miss Belle Richardson, several winters ago.
The station is within easy run of Nice, and
they are to be congratulated on their pleasant
duty, for the place is one of the prettiest on
the Mediterranean coast and the winter So
ciety at Nice is second only to our own.
NJ. and Madame de Billo sail early in May
for Denmark. They Will summer abroad, but
will return In the fall to occupy the new house
which upholsterers and artists are beautify-
ing-making ready for them.
The hero OF this year OF the class OF romance
at the Artillery School is Lieutenant Squier,
Of the Twentieth Foot. He and Miss Fargo-a
Buffalo beauty and heiress-were privately
married last october at Hampton, whittier
the stay OF the bride and her mother at the
Fortress. The secret was we'll kept until
within the past few weeks, when Mrs. Squier
returned to the Fortress to be present at her
husbands graduation, and the romantic story
escaped somehow, huttering from one to an
other until known to all. The young groom is
the son of the Central and South American
traveller of the same name, and is handsome
and clever.
Lieutenant Stevens, U. S. N, is endeavorIng
to gain official sanction Of and assistance in
an enterprise, the conception of which reflects
much credit on the young originator. 1t Is an
exploring expedition to the South Seas, a field
sage has left comparatively unknown.
Senator and Mrs. Window have taken pos
session Of their beautiful house at the Scott
Circle. The stained glass and terra-cotta tiles
that ornament 1t are the prettiest In the city,
and the house itself shares with Mr.. Mobiles
and Mr.. Brodhead's the reputation of being
one OF the most attractive east OF Nineteenth
street.
Among the distinguished guests who will be
present at the graduating exercises at the
Artillery School Will be General Hancock and
stan and General Tidball. The young officers
deeply regret General Sherman's absence, for
he Is not simply their rcommander-in-chief,b but
is personal favorite with them all.
The new hotel at Asbury Park is named
"The Langtry," and the appointments of 1t
are said 10 be so perfect that Ii Will doubtless
be as popular as tho other Jersey fayorlte.

General Hazen, U. S. A., who has been al

| suns and the strong salt breezes that noai
| unchallenged past the twin sentinels, Charles
and Henry, at the neck of the Roads work
| wonders In the invalids who go 10 Old Point
| and the good care Mr.. Phoebus slyes his
guests, enables them to keep all the strength
they gain.
