though she had never left her country be-
fore coming here and was the wholly unac
quainted with our language, which she Is
now rapidly acquiring, from the first was
very socially disposed towards the ladies
who called upon her, talking to them
through the Japanese gentleman who Is the
interpreter for the legation and showing her
interest when she could not muster enough
English to otherwise enter into the CONVEX
sation by a wonderfully musical laugh, never
tco loud but always merry. In returning
calls. which she did regularly as long as her
health would permit, and attending parties,
she looked about her at the new people and
the new mode of life with the greatest in
terest. She promptly adopted the style OF
dress usual for fashionable ladies here both
on the street and indoors, but while her ball
dresses were very elegant beth IN material
and style of making, none OF them were
made to show the neck and arms. Sne
carried herself when wearing the new ITO
her) STYLE of dress as gracefully as it long
used to it. She is the mother OF three chill
dren. The Japanese legation which Is To-
cared on n sire ct in the fashionable quarter
of the city, is elegantly furnished, the walls
Ueipg decorated with a very large number
of silken banners painted by Japanese ar
lists OF high rank.
The Mexican, Netherlands and Peruvian
legations do not hold very important places.
The Mexican minister is absent; though
his son Don Cayetano Romero is in charge
during his absence. The Netherlands min
lister, NJ. be Weckherlin, is a bachlor, while
the Peruvian mission is in charge of Senior
Ygarza who lives at the Hamilton. The
Portuguese minister, Viscount Noguieras
aid his family are prominent in Washing
ton. They have a rather modest home on
Fl street, entertaining in a very handsome
way, however, and taking q pretty prominent
psrtin the social life at the Copital. The Wis
countess Noguieras is very popular as Is
their pretty and brilliant daughter, Mile.

clan, and has distinguished herself of lave
by bringing out a class of singers among
society people who were able to give an ex-
tremely creditable performance, OF paul
and Virginia" at the Grand Opera House
some time since.
Probably the most popular and elegant
home in the diplomatic world, however, is
that of the Russian minister, Me-. de Strive.
The legation and residence-for they both
occupy the same building, as is the case
With nearly all the foreign representatives
here,-are on K street, one of the most fash.
ionable streets of the city. 1t is handsomely
furnished, and the amount which Mr.. aud
Nine. de STRIVE annually expeud for enter
tdinments is something enormous. They
give very large receptions every week during
the entire season, and in a way which
makes them much more expensive than is
Usually the case with this class Of entertain
ments.

is extremely popular in the social world.
She is possessed Of great good sense, as is
Illustrated in the often repeated story OF her
course in rebuking some pert young Ameri-
can girls at the Presidents reception who
tried to talk to her in French, her response
Indicating that che thought it proper to
converse on such occasions in the language
of this country. Their home is q very busy
one, for there are q half dozen children OF
which the minister and his wife are very
fond, and no prettier sight is to be seen on
the streets Of Washington these bright June
days than to see Nine. de Strive with her
carriage load of children driving o pair of
spirited horses along the avenues or over
the drives about the city. She has a stern
look in this, her, portrait, but in life she is
exceedingly agreeable. Like all the ladies
of the leg~atious,-the wife Of the Chinese
minister excepted,-she follows American
fashions in her costumes and manners, and
is perfect mistress of the English language
as she is of two or three others.
OF the remaining half dozen only one,
the swedish minister, boasts a home with a
wife, though Mr.. Valera the Spanish minis.
ter is understood to have a family at his
home IN Spain. Col, Frey the Swiss minis
ter is a hopeless bachelor. Senior Es,razulas

and Senior Soteldo the minister from Ven,
ezuela is alone at his residence on Q street.

rupture

THE Old Fellows celebration yesterday
was q very c~reditsble affair aud will do good
not only for the Order in the main, bat for
the individual members. Social enter
course is alEsys pleasant and beneficial,
and especially so when among lodges Of the
same Order located at SOM distance apart.
The fine appearance of the gentlemen who
parsded our streets yesterday was geuer
ally commented upon and decidedly rehshed
By the crowds of onlookers. We hope the
day and occasion were enjoyed as much BY
the visiting brethren and their friends as 1t
was by the members of the home lodges
If 50, and there was no reason for it being
otherwise, the occasion was q grand success
and a repetition of it in this city will be
looked forward to with great interest and
delight.
This charitable and worthy Order is like
. A~ourishing green bay tree. The first
lodge was instituted at Baltimore in 1919.
In 1860 there were 1000 lodges and q menu
6srship of 800, 900. At the beginning Of
1874 the Order had 4l4,Sl5 lodge members
and O,I3I eneampment members. The
aggregate relief rendered in round numbers
for 1873 was $3.50 274. And the total
revenue of subordinates was about st,434,-
900. 1t is safe to say that in the last de-
eade the order has grown and aourished as
in the ten previous years, so that 8 simple
mathematical proportion viii readily tell
what the membership is to-day. It is doing
great good and deserving Of equal credit.

The Record.
Altogether the eastern series 60 far has
Given the seaboard clubs some compeusa-
ton for their disastrous western trip. The
M~etropolitans have won four games out OF
five played, two from Allegheny AMI two
from Louisville. The Athletics have cap
tured four out OF six, three from Cincinnati
and one from St. Louis, The Brooklyns
have won three from Louisville aud lost
three, one to Louisville and two to Alleghe'
uy. The Baltimores alone have had the
worst of it, losing three games to st. Louis
and one to Cincinnati, and winning n
from each. All the other tail enders have
improved their standing as compared with
he leaders, although noue of the eastern
clubs have succeed in climbing
into the first four. The only
change Of position is the shifting of the Ath.
letics above the ~Brooklyns. The Athletics
have strengthened their pitchers box with
Loyett, Mihigan's foet is all right again,
aad with fair luck they ought to crawl up a
step further by another week. The gilt
edged material in the Brooklyn club is grad.
ually getting shaken into effective team
work. Lynch is rapidly regaining his old
form that made him q tower Of strength to
The meis last year. Altogether the games
of next week may be expected to be close

TIE Wellsburg Herald talks in this strain
as it diScOurses upon the condition of the
iron and glass trade in the Ohio Valley:
The present way Of employers and en-
ployes ~contounding their positions and con-
tinuslly working at cross purposes, is about
as unsatisfactory and Improbable a n as
can be imagined and would be rather i'm
proved by 9 general smash up and start
over again, which before al is over, may
possibly occur.
The present s~tagnstionin business, eonse-
queut upon the trouble in two or three
trades is q stsndipg argument against one
or two Industrial interests getting too strong
q hold in any community. Diversity OF en-
pIoyment will be found TO be the natural
remedy for strikes and other labor troubles,
if not the natural and oolg preventive.
