THE HANDSOMEST IN THE CITY.
There are few more elegant residences
than this in Washington, and Mr.. Endicott
may plume himself on having the finest and
handsOmest and most fashionable residence
OF any of the cabinet. He drives to and
from the war department with handsome
team of bays, which are managed by we'll
fed cOlored coachman. His carriages are
bright and well vanished, one Of them is a
handsome closed coach, another especially
noticeable for it's brilliant red wheels
and fine finish. The house is elegantly
furnished. Senator Pendleton had it well
furnished, very well, indeed, for he was
able and gentleman Of good taste, and
Secretary Endicott added to the furnishings
and bric-a-brac until it is one of the most
beautiful homes in Washington, both within
and without
Secretary Manning has taken one of the
finest residences in what is known as the
army and navy quarter of Washington. 1t
is large house on the northeast corner of
F and Twentieth streets. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nelson Brown of Philadelphia occupied ii
for five months last winter and paid $500
per month for it. 1t has fine grounds, with
summer pavilion, spacious salon, library
and sleeping apartments, and has
THE FINEST LOCATION
in the army and navy quarter It was oc-
cupied by the Inflated Senior Barca, Spanish
minister, whose suicide in New York city a
few years ago many people remember. 1t
is better fitted for receptions than the resi-
dences of most of the cabinet officers. 1t
has large and handsome parlors on each
side of the wide hall, and was very good
selection. 1t reminds one very much of the
Frelinghuysen mansion, in which many i'm
portant state receptions were held in the
past few years.
The residence of Attorney General
Garland has been already described.
1t is on Massachusetts avenue, a
couple of blocks from the homes
of Secretary Bayard and Secretary
Whitney. Indeed, Massachusetts avenue
might with propriety be termed Cabinet
avenue just now, for besides these three il
has the residence of the secretary of wal
but stones throw from its line.
Secretary Lamar is now the only home
less man in the cabinet. He has not yet
determined what to do with himself, whether
to attempt to establish a residence and carry
the annoyances of public life, which are I'M
pleasant to him, or to seek some secluded
retreat, where he may take up his books
when he lays down the burden of his Office,
and get the needed rest that the very heavy
duties of his Office compel him to obtain.
THE WEEKS DoINGS.
The week has not been altogether devoid
of events of social nature. There have
been several incidents of character to
amuse society. There were weddings, some
large boating parties, opera parties and
some receptions on Wednesday. Miss
Cleveland continues to see her friends on
Wednesday, and her rooms are well filled
on that occasion. The receptions are by
card, but great many ladies who receive
invitations take the opportunity of present
ing some lady friend when they call, and
the result is that the White house on We'd
nesday afternoon presents quite society
season aspect, in spite of the fact that it is
midsummer. On Tuesday occurred the
marriage of Miss Lena Smith of this city to
Mr.. George L. Morrow of New Jersey, the
marriage occurring at the First Baptist
church. The Misses Bayard gave another
quiet reception to their friends on Wednes-
day, good many calling to pay their COM
plments and at the same time to inquire
after the health of Mrs. Bayard, who is in
Delaware at the family homestead there.
