8 o'clock card reception on the evening of
the same day by Associate Justice and Mrs.
Matthews, which will be house warming
to their elegant home
Mrs. Senator Miller, of California, has
issued cards for masquerade dane
ing party at her residence, on the
18th, in honor of her daughter,
Miss Dora. One hundred and fifty
invitations have been sent out already.
Only ladies are to appear in masks, in
order to place gentlemen entirely at their
mercy. Mrs. Miller's parties were the talk
of last season and this bids fair to eclipse
all its predecessors in brilliancy.
Madame D. Struve, wife of the Russian
minister, did not return to this country
with her husband, having settled herself in
st. Petersburg for one years stay at last.
Madame De Meissner and Countess
Catalina,sister of M. Gregoire de Willamov

day, and will receive on Mondays
during the session of congress. On the
18th, Representative and Mrs. Carlisle will
have been married twenty-six years. They
have only two children, both sons, who
have passed their minority. Col. Tom
Oohiltriee's german is really to occur soon
in Welland hall, and he has decided to
issue no invitations to gentlemen, but to
10 LODI ybo Il
and let shem select their partners by each
sending George Washington Ratchet to
gentleman who wishes to dance with her.
The chief figure will be one where the
hatckets will be used as favors and carried
in triumph by couples in revolving pro-
csssion.
The presidents son Arthur will return to
Princeton college this week.
Mrs. Gen. Hazen will give two dinners
this week, one on Wednesday|and another
later in the week.
The wife and daughter of Senator Will
iams, of Kentu cky, have arrived here and
will remain with him during the remainder
of the season.
The daughter of Senator Voorhees,, who
10 nov in Paris, will remain abroad for
some months longer. Mrs. Voor-
bees has with her this sea-
son at the Portland her sons
wife, Mrs. JAS Voorhees,, who is accom-
panied by her infant son.
Senator Harrison spent the holidays in
New York with hiswife, who is in poor
health. She will not return here for
month or more. Miss Harrison accom-
panied her father on his return, and her
brother has recently arrived from Non
taaa to spend the winter in Washington.
THE SPECIAL SESSION.
The question of holding the usual special
session of the senate continues TO excite at
tsntion. The more it is discussed the more
likely it seems that matters will be al
lowed to take their usual course. When
the new session begins, Senators Anthony,
Edmunds and Logan are much talked of
for the position of presidents pro TEN.
Western senators are beginning to urge the
claim of their section to the Office. One
who ia prominent from the West said to-
day: 81 can see no reason for not calling
short session of the senate after the 4th
Of March. 1 do not remember when an
extra session has not been called. There
will be about twenty five senators to take
the oath after March 4. This could be
done Immediately after adjournment,
and then the new senate could organize.
I believe that the president pro temlpore
should be chosen from the West, as the
East has the president. There is little in
the Office, yet it is hardly fair that both
positions should be filed by Eastern
states.
THE 3O6 MEDALS.
Gen. Grant is quoted az having
said here that he has never
yet seen one of the famous.
SO6 medals awarded to those who voted for
him at Chicago, and notwithstanding there
was such a distinguished crowd about him
as Hugh Hastings, John Lydecker, Tom
Murphy, Clint Wheeler and Congressman
Crowley mo one present could show him one
of the medals.
CHILLI AND THE IsTHMUS.
South American journals received by the
last mail give much prominence to a
statements which appeared some weeks
since in these dispatches, in regard to what
were believed to be the designs of Chill
upon the isthmus of Panama. 1t appears
from these journals that the CHILEAN con-
gross did not ratify the treaty with the
United States of Columbia, providing for
the submitting to arbitration of all ques-
tions arising between the two
nations, growing out of the transit
Of material of war for Peru and Bolivia
across the Isthmus. The press of Chill is
now openly sustaining the proposition of
resorsing to arms to punish the United
States of Columbia for allowing arms and
military stores to pass anhindered. Gen
tlemen we'll posted in South American
diplomatic affairs declare their belief that
Chill il preparing to settle her claims for
damages by securing csssion of Isthmus
territory. Columbia is utterly unable to
pay in money and can only settle other
wise with territory. Chilli is known to be
negotiating with the president of Ecuador,
and it is reported that one of the provinces
of Peru has been mentioned as q eonsid.
