WASHINGTON LETTER.
Few Years Rece ptiOns = The Thu

From Vur Special Correspondent
WAsHISGToS, ID. C.,Jauuary ,st. 's2,
There has been more gayety than
during the summer, like holidays.
which we have epjoy ed since Congress
adjourned. The ohief social eveut has
been the New Years receptions, which,
in Washington, as in all capitals, are
picturesque In the p)mp and tinsel OF
diplomacy and war-uot grim Wis lges
war" nor harsher havoc than that
made on the susceptioiities of giFls,
by the elegantly unifJrne land r3rfGt-
ly padded shapes manu'act lrei a.West
Point and the Naval Academy.
New Year calls in Washin .ton are
the overture to the great social opera
which is played every season with
ever varying, comic, tr .gic or rOn.Il-
tic episodes. On New Ilac's tuasculns
w Ashlng'on, from tho highest uilicjtl
To thu Department clerk, and through
all the ran -es Of haut ton, and OF chro,
mo society, call and pay their resp css
to feminine Washing'O 1, who, whether
matron or mald, budding beauty, or
blase spinster, is to be found usually il
a gas lighted paror, arrayei in her
most ;n'thetic, least psripaghetic dress.
The social opening to-day was not es-
sentially different from those of former
years. The diplomatic corps, in full
court dres1, dazzlingly badi22enrd with
gold lace and buttons, calleI upon the
President, then or members OF the Cab
in, nd baa Sn a al
upon others Of less distinguished Off
cial rauk. Th, memh, rs Of tn Cabinsi,
Justic y Of the Supreme Court, Army
and Nava' officers, ald ~ on down
through all the various ranks and
grades of official life, spent the day in
calling from house ~ h lse. shaking
hands, IN lkins bows, wishi < every
body a happy new year, eating ke,
|oysters, and chicken ss!ah, drinkin ny
wine and brandy, getting sick or
drunk, al iDtinitum pluribs unun.
Senators and members Of Congress
who have been absent during the holi
days will now return aud briug their
wives with them. Th5 wives, II they
have not fair daughters of their own,
will invite the fair daughter of some
intiaentIal const tuent. and III this way
the beanIv Of many congressional dis
tricts will be presented. But tn
hsanty, wealth, taste and vulgarity of
the country will finh representation here
without the chapfonage OF the wives OF
the congressman. The many and spL.
ci MS hotels ars already iilliug up wlth
those who have money or can get credit,
Washington, during the season, is TO u
great extent the RENDEZVOUS of those who
speld the Summer in Europe; Saratoga
Long Branch and score Of oth3r sea
side or mountain re Orls.
But Washington lite is not all roseat..
We are on the eye Of iuveStiga
tions that will tear regulations to tat
ters, of Legislation that may charge tbs
frontier lines Of parties, and of dipio
macy that will vitally affect the future
of this hemisphere, and relatively
affect the worts Cali you these duh
times? Time Is never dull except to
those who are ignorant OF what is eoing

ford, and so hara as 10 excite ios citizens
considerably. On Thursday OF last week
it was rumored that Milford man had
drawn the capital prize, 100000. in the
Louisiana State Lottery Company, Our
reporter tried to look the ma ter up, bu.
none OF the two dozen persons Indicated
by Madam kumor mad drawn the prize.
An express company sent two adylcss,
saying that prize had been drawn by
a man in Milford. Excitemen, over the
fl lir increased, and common sal uta-
tion on Saturday was, Have you drawn
the prize?" GA Monday the holder OF

man. The oUt-titLh ticket that draws
one fifth Of 100000, is No. 1882. 1t
is laid that this is the first lottery
ticket ever ownei by Mr.. ADkerman.
AS might he supposed, the drawing
of such an amount has stirred up the
people on the subject OF lotteries, and
brought TO light some unknoS an facts. 1t
n ow appears that a considerable num-
Der of our citizens have been dealing in
lotteries, but they all kept the fact Sc
cret. They inciude rich and poor, old
and young, and even church mem bers.
One of our aged citizens says that twice
he has come within one Of the lucky
NUN bers that drew prizes Of Sl0O, 900.
Another Milford man drew $40.
There is something very fascinating
and seductive in the idea Of acquiring
sudden wealth by chance IN It costs
little, and We approAend that many
hundreds Of dollars Will be wasted On
lotteries in ibis SO ton, in view of the
recent success of our citizen. Even those
who's re ,son tells them other S ise, will

Death of George RObb.

DIED.---At his home on Julianna
street, this city, Sunday morning,
March II, 1882, of typhoid fever,
George Robb, in the 21st year of his
age.
The funeral was largely attended
from the Episcopal church yester-
day afternoon, where impressive
services were conducted by the Pas
tor, Rev. R. H. Gibson, assisted by
Rev. F. B. Carroll, of the M. e.
Church South.
Friends brought in many beau
tiful floral tributes, among which
were a mound of Gala lilies and flo
raj casket, at the head and foot of
the coffin. Prominent on the coffin
were two delicately wrought wreaths
and cross. The burial took place
in the Odd Fellows Cemetery.
Mr.. Robb was the youngest son,
the idol of his mother, and a general
favorite among the young people of
Parkersburg. Some weeks ago he
came home sick from Wheeling,
where he had been engaged with
the dry-goods firm of. S. Rhodes
& Co. He had passed, as was fondly
hoped, the crisis in the typhoid fe-
yer, and was bidding fair for speedy
recovery. But after suffering two
or three slight relapses, he was
seized with vomiting Saturday
night, which continued up to his
death at 5 o'clock the next morn
ing.
The death of a young man full of
hope and life and promise, with a
wide circle of friends young and old,
always casts a special gloom over a
community. So has it been with
the sad death of young George Robb.
