New.Yenr Calls I'm Washington.

WASHINGTON, January 2.-The weather
to-day was everything that could be de-
~sired-clear, cold, and bracing-and the
custom Of New-Year's calling was very
generally observed. The fact that it was
President Arthur's first New-Year recep-
ton attracted n full attendance at the White
House. All the foreign legations were
represented, and the usual programme was
carried out. The decoration Of the White
House was less profuse than in former
years, because OF the recent death OF Presi-
dent Garfield, only plants and flowers be-
ing used, and these in moderation. Even
Guiteau held a reception in jail, and re-
ceived probably two hundred people. A
large proportion of ladies called on him.

SOCIETY LAUGHS.

How Fortune Hunter Was Sold in His
Choice of q Wife.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. BIN the summer
of 1879, there came to Newport a gentle
man of distinguished mien, and the owner
also of distinguished surname. He had
not been here long before he fell in love
with young lady who was visiting one of
our best known summer visitors. Fortu-
nately, however, as the young man thought,
he discovered that her friends were not
wealthy, and his ardor cooled, and
what was understood to be an
engagement, was at an end.
In the year 1880 he came again, and once
more fell in love, and this time with
lady whose friends "cut DASH" The
marriage took place in New York that
fall, and not long afterward the fortune
hunter found that his wife and her friends
were even worse off than he, for he really
had moderate income. A separation is
talked of-in fact it is stated that arrange
ments have already been made looking to
that end. The gentleman passed a small
portion of the season here, and it is no
secret among his intimates that the fnan-
cial condition of his wife's family is the
cause of all the trouble. Of course, So
ciety laughs.
