What is there so attractive ab ut the

City, as toon as they set foot in the town
are teset by solicitous aceuaintances to visit
that market" queried the reporter.
The French Market has pee altar features

Ore is used for the sale OF fsh and game,
another for the vending of vegetables and
fruit third for the sale OF fresh aud cured
meats and fourth as y bazaar. for the dis

srraDged in each. where French coffee aud
all kinds OF eatables are served. Besides the
Frsrch Market there is Poydras. Magazine
and ST Msry's markets, each of which are
good markets.
The reporter met Mr.. Milt Pouder on the

TO the White House and to society as we'll.
She is perhaps q trifie young for an old fell.
low of forty EIGHT, for as the President cele-
brated his birthday on Wednesday, 1t is
hardly worth while to try and conceal his
age longer. Her age If so delicate subject
may be touched upon, is probably about half
tt at of the President. She is spoken OF as
very handsome. with black hair and eyes,
dark complexion, q handsome face and
faultless figure, thorough, collegiate edu-
cation, and experience in society thas would
enable her to do credit to herself as the bride
of the President. 1t is curious fact that tie
White House has been without social head,
in the strict sense, about one fourth of the
time it has been occupied. 1t is, too another
curious fact that this is the first time for
twelve years that there has been Vice Pres
idents wife in Washington. 1t has been so
long since there has been Vice President
with wife that society has almost forgotten
what to do about it, and Mrs. Hendricks,
although quite as busy as she desires. Is prob
ably not as much so as will be the case when
she establishes a receiving day, and her rank
as first lady in the land is recognized as it
must be when society stops 70 think about
it, provide it thinks OF it before Mr.. Cleve-
lands marriage.
good deal of interest is felt here in the
fight going on between ExSecretary Teller
and Senator Van WICK in the Senate. They
are managing to take more OF the time of
the Senate than all the other public business
together. They whack away at each other
in their speeches on the loor of the Senate,
and seem to be bitterly at war. yet their per-
sonal intercourse is agreeable. 1t is no
uncommon thing to see them chattering to-
gether on the floor of the Senate after tAe
session is over, and 90 far as can be seen with
the naked eye they are quite good friends.
1t seems odd to see two men who stand up
in public and whack each other over the
| head, calling hard names and insinuatine
harder things, drop ell the quarrel ut the
close Of the days session, and become q
frien dly - though nothing lad happened.

attention here. They are beginning to come
to the turface here in very suspicious way

Congrt ssman Pound, of Wisconsin. He has
been here quietly watching the course of
events a good deal since the Inauguration.

Commissioner of General Land Office and for
Indian Commissioner, and it is generally be.
