Another White House Incident.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 20 "A local paper
has the following: An incident occurred at
the reception of the diplomatic corps at the
White House which escaped the eyes Of all
but very few. Among those present was a
party from one of our hotels. Be-
fore leaving the hotel a Mrs L., Of
New York, who had accepted an in
vitation to accompany the party, said
that she would go to crafty her
curiosity to see the house and people, but that
she would refuse to recognize the president
by declining to shake hands with him or re-
turn his salutation. Ladies who heard her
suggested that if she felt SO she ought not to
go-that it would not be decent to go to
gentlemans house upon invitation and then
insult him. The lady replied that the White
House was public property, and that she
held to her purpose Not wishing to
quarrel, the ladies Of the party decided to
let her take her own course. True enough,
when the president bowed to the New York
lady in her turn and extended his hand, she
passed him without ceremony, and treated
Mrs McElroy in the same manner. A look
Of surprise and Indignation gave momen-
tary flush to the presidents face, when a
young southern lady of the party
coming next in line stepped quickly forward
seized his extended hand and pressed it with
more than ordinary cordiality, thus helping
TO conceal the rudeness Of the northern
woman. Fortunately the crowd was suf-
ficient to leave little room for noticing the in
cident, which was certainly the evidence of
very petty spite, degrading only to its exhibit

mrs. Mackey's Picture.

Some time back Mrs. Mackey took
the notion into her head to have her
portrait painted by famous French
artist, and so she went to Meissonier.
At first the distinguished painter hest
tated He is not a portrait painter,
except when the fancy takes him, and
some of his portraits are nothing extra
ordinary The most famous-those of
Alexandra Dumas, of Hetzel, of GUM
bourg and of Delahante-havef figured
in the various past exhibitions, but he
has painted very few female portraits,
and believe that he cares very little
about painting any. Hence he hest
tated about accepting the order, but
Mrs. Mackey, with the most charming
grace, offered to hold herself absolutely
at his disposal i'll the matter of the
| hours of the sittings and their duration,
and she backed this up by such con-
elusive, such golden arguments, that it
ended in day being fixed for the first
sitting, and in due course of time the
portrait was finished, without any
| serious difficulty having arisen between
the artist and the American lady. The
Triennial or National Exposition was
about to open and Messonier decided
to send this portrait to it, and he prom
| ised to retouch it after its return from
the Palais de rlndustrie in the Champs
Elysees. The exhibition opened,
the picture was exhibited along
with other works of the master
and it was very severely criticised. The
long bearded master is, as every one
knows, somewhat touchy, and he got
very angry over this, his absolute fail
ure. He informed Mrs Mackey, when
she asked him 10 retouch her portrait.
! that he considered it in every respect
an excellent one, and that he had made
| up his mind not to ret0uch it, The lady
protested and wanted to return the pic
ure, but MISSIONER refused TO receive it
and his refusal was followed by his lit
| tie bill Of 10000 francs. Thereupon
| Mrs Mackey declared that if he did not
touch up his work she would not pay the
bill-nOt that she cared for the money
and which she offered to turn over for
the benefit of the poor OF her ward-but
because it was neither portrait nor a
finished picture A law suit was threat
ened, and then somebody suggested an
arbitration. The suggestion was
adopted, and Mr. Cabanel was agreed
on as the arbitrator Cabane succeeded
with much difficulty in demonstrat-
| ing to Mrs Mackey that a compromise
would be. the best thing for all parties,
aud that law suit would he OF no ad-
vantage either to herself or to his
brother artist
You must take into consideration,
said he, that it was you, Madame,
who ordered this picture. -
ALAS! | ordered good likeness,
this is a bad one.
That is your opinion; but you can
mot reasonably refuse to pay for it. .
The portrait displeases me exceed
ingly."
Yes; but you are not forced to loot
at it. You can hang it with its face Il
the wall, or do what else You please
with it..
Mrs Mackey smiled and thanked the
arbitrator An hour afterwards the
picture of the master was banished &c
