what Is Going ON i'm the social world

The "chnrmed circle at Cambridge, Mass,
has received q welcome addition in Mrs. Bull
the widow of the Morse Maestro, whose violin
sang such marvellous songs to this and tho
last generation. She was 10 have spent the
summer abroad !; but the publishers delay her
with "proof," and say she cannot be spared
from the work of reviewing until the fall; so
she has concluded TO remain with her parents
at james Russell Lowell's pretty cottage-their
present home. The quaint house in Wisconsin
has been sold, and the City Of the Four Lakes
has become possessed Of all the curios gath
cred in Its rooms, except believe, tho violins,
which Mrs. Bull retains.
Mrs. Pacheco and her pretty daughter leave
for tho North as soon as possible. Schroon
Lake is their objective point, but the exact
date OF their departure Is very uncertain, de-
pending, as 1t does, on Mrs. Pacheco's health,
which is far from strong.
Miss Lucy Page has arrived from Europe
and has gone West to join her sister, Mrs.
Bryan. That she would so do, we announced
some weeks since, but failed to add that she
would return from England with the Duke Of
Manchester'6 party, all of whom, together
with friends from New York, arc being
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan at their
beautiful homo in Colorado. OF this house We
published an account early In March, but 1t
may not be inappropriate to repeat that 1t Is
built of the native cream granite, rough hewn;
is reproduction of q Scotch crag castle, and has
walls of a genuine old-world thickness, pierced
here and there with lancet windows, whose
frames are filled with lead lattice work and
stained glass. beautiful stream flows near
1t, so shallow, so limpid, so glitterlng, that 1t
looks as If silver carpet were being perpet-
ually unrolled for the guests 10 cross upon TO
the fiower-nelds beyond

party to Miss Bell, of Texas, this evening.
The hours named are from z 80 to 0:30, and
II Will be at the home of her aunts, "Little

hostess knows so we'll how to make her guests
happy, that the success of the party is as
sured.
Captain Glen, .. s. A., has Just returned
from Newcastle, anu brings welcome news OF
his wife's health. Mrs. Clom is visiting her
mother, Mrs. General French, at the old
homestead.
NJ and Madame de Struve left for New York
on Saturday, whence they VIII sail on Wednes
day for Europe. And that reminds me. The
little Japanese boy (whom they are bringing
up at the request OF his father, the Com
mander in Chief of the Army of Japan is the
| brightest, merrfost little fellow have ever
seen. He has clear olive complexion and
| scarcely n trace of his nationality, except the
bright black eyes, which twinkle and dance
with fun from morning till night. He is 9
| polyglot little mortal, speaking four Ian
| guages creditably; he is apt, however, to Sill
| from one to the other in a some
tempered, and never tires of play
Lieutenant Danenhower and his sister leave
tomorrow for Capon Springs. The physicians
have prescribed the change for the benefit o
his health, but We fear all good results will bt
nullifled by the young officer HIMSELF as, in
| stead Of "lazying," he intends to write out
full account of the past few years, and eyes
