SOCIAL RECEPTION.

The broad portals of the beautiful resi-
dence of Mr. and Mrs. G. {. Strong, corner
of Fourth avenue and Third street, were
thrown open last evening to brilliant
gathering of friends. About twenty-five
couples thronged the parlors and corridors
and the outrageous bowers about the
Strong mansion, constituting select and
brilliant party. An EAGLE reporter who
had business in that portion of the city,
seeing the parlors brilliantly illuminated
and throng occupying seats beneath the
trees in front Of the residence, called to in
quire the occasion. Mr.. Strong explained
that it was simply social gathering and
had no special significance. The sweet
strains of a new grand piano which had just
been presented to Mrs. Strong by her
husband, enlivened the occasion and the
party enioved social intercourse and refresh
ments. II was truly social gathering.

ter the trip he had just taken he conli see, more
clearly than ever, why Cincinnati had reached

Speaking of the New Orleans exposition he said

He believed it was unsurpassed if not uneoualed
as an exhibition of the products of skill and in
dustry It had government recognition by an
appropriation, and If more should be needed he
believed it would be cheerfuly given. One of
the principal good results of this exposition he
thought. would be an increase in our valuable

tages OF the New System.
WAsHINGToN, Feb 1.-THE President to-day
transmitted to Congress the second annual re-
port of the Civil-service Commission, covering q
period from Jan. l6, 1884, to Jan. 16, 1885, In
his letter of transmittal he says:
1.-THE commission is in the second year Of its
existence. The President congratulates the
country on the success OF its labors. commends
the subject to the favorable consideration of
Congress- and asks for appropriation to con
tinue the work"
The report is comprehensive document, Civ
ing full account of the actien of the commits
sion and the results achieved 1t says the civil
service law has been found practicable and effect
i've for the accomplishment of its purpose. Dur
ing the year persons have been examined from
every State and Territory, except Idaho; l63
examinations have been held and 1887 persons
examined of whom 5 525 were males and 823
females OF those examined. 4. l41 passed at n
grade showing them competent for public ser
vice, and :, BOG failed. The average age of all
examined was nearly 30 years. The great body

Views of Sir samuel Baker.

LONDON, Feb. 12.--Sr Samuel Baker writes
that he believes Khartoum had already fallen
when the battles of Abu-Klea and Gakdul were
fought The treachery which caused the fall
of the city originated among the traders, who,
being absolutely ruined by England's policy
of abandonment, wisely sought the
Mahdis protection. Sir Samuel urges a
new expedition. to consist of $4,000
men, and that all converge at Berber,
which would make base that
could be supplied from Suakim.
Continuing, he says: IF the present imbecile
government delays any longer, the splendid army
in Soudan will bs paralyzed by hot weather
England should allow the Italians to oc-
cupy Massowah, relieving the present garri-
son at that place, and the country from
Massowah to the Atbara river" He asks how
long England will stand the present terrible
mispoyernment.
