hearts of the people of all shades in
Washington, to a degree rarely attained
by any lady in her position. The last |
public reception of the season, on March |
6, furnished a demonstration of her pop
ularity, when five thousand people |
thronged to the White House, every one
of whom she personally received with
pleasant manner, and gentle shake of the |
hand, challenging the patience and phys
ical endurance of Grant in his most Wig
orous days. The very last one of this
vast crowd received just as warm well
come as did the first. Usually on such oc-
casions Miss Cleveland wears her hair
dressed high-a style very becom
ing to the contour of her head
with single rosebud nest
ling in the tresses. An in
cident of recent occurrence illustrates
her character. At one of her re-
ceptions not long since a stout, elderly
lady, plainly clad, elbowed her way through
the crowd and after much effort stood be-
fore the hostess and was introduced. She
was from Indiana, and said: "Miss Cleve-
land I've come good ways to get here,
and told my husband l didn't want to go
back till I'd seen you, for I've heard and
read great deal about you and l wanted
to look at your face, and now l guess I'm
well paid for all the scrt uging that it took
to get to you" Miss Cleveland received
her as kindly as if the wife of the first
senator in the land; asked her where she
lived, about her family, her enjoyment
while in the city, all about her home affairs,
and finally, as she let her pass on, asked
her to sit in the blue parlor and rest, until
the reception was over, when she would be
glad to talk more with her, which she did.
Mrs. Whitney, wife of the secretary of
the navy, has been the handsomest enter
tainer in Washington this winter, and has
occupied very prominent place in So
cety. Secretary and Mrs. Whitney came
to Washington with very hcspitable inten-
tons. 1t was known there would be rather
scarcity of official entertainments. Two
members of the cabinet Secretary Lamar
and Attorney General Garland, were quite
out of the question as party givers, both
being widowers and otherwise disinclined
to society. Neither Secretary Bayard nor
EndicOtt, nor Manning, nor Postmaster
General Villas are possessors of large
means, SO that it fell naturally to Secreta-
ry Whitney's lot, as the possessor of much
money and gay and accomplished wife,
to do the party giving. 1t is said that
Mrs. Whitney has fund of 100000 to
draw upon for her entertainments, depos-
tied to her credit by her brother, Oliver
II. Payne. The ball was started
rolling at the "a of three en-
tertainments week. which, are
estimated to cost altogether about $4,000
month. But the temptation to abuse
this generous hospitality was too great.
Once a week, on Wednesday afternoons,
the doors of the Whitney's house are open
to the world-and the world focks in
People come from every part of Washing
ton, including all the shopkeepers on Sew,
enth street. 1t is estimated that on {
recent occasion there were 1,400 callers

4 receptions or other evening entertain
ments," remarked a well-knOwn society
adv the other day. $50 late as the Hayes
administration, when Senior Mantilla gave
brand reception at Wormley's in honor
81 the marriage of the king of Spain,
14ampagne and terrapin were served and
n was considered a princely extravaganza.
Htt now the finest and most expensive
Hihes are served as freely as claret punch
VAS ten years ago, and terrapin is as com
nom as chicken salad. The Letters and
he Whitney's and the other wealthy peo-
1Ie who have recently come to Washing
Cor. have set fashion that has prevented
many people who would like to entertain
rom doing So" But all these are incidents
to Al genedal conclusion. In fact, times
have changed, and if jefferson were pres
dent to-day, he would not wear snuffy
and untidy clothes at a reception, nor
would Jackson smoke cOrncob pipe on
the lawn in front of the White House, but
the choicest Havana cigars.
The way New Workers have taken upWash
ington of late is quite striking. With
some of the large contingent from Man
haitian Island now here an impression
s seems to prevail that anything and every
f thing is permissible in Washington, even
4 to attending the presidents formal recep-
tions without invitations but they are be-
. jung rapidly disabused of their errors.
fNone of them have tried the experiment
on President Cleveland that a very fash
ionable New York woman did on Presi-
dent Arthur, when she went to the White
House and refused to shake hands with
either him or Mrs. McElroy, processing to
think that the White House was no more
than the treasury building, and the presi-
dent had no rights whatever in his own
house. While Washington society is the
'smost feeting and transient in the world,
its customs are unchanging and the laws
of official etiquette irrevocably laid down.
Customs like that of combining all visiting
to the hours from to p. NJ, are not
generally known to people coming here
and they are often annoyed when starting
out calling at noon to find every house
closed to them.
The mistress of the white house is re-
garded the leader of official society. Miss
cleveland, the presidents sister, is, prob
Ably, the most intellectual and cultured
lady who ever presided in the executive
mansion. Gifted with kindness of heart
almost rare, even in woman, and as gen
erous and catholic nature as can be hu
nan, she possesses a Thorough classica
\ Education, considerable literary taste, anC
highly qualified to grace the position
4 she occupies.

blue, and her red, ripe lips curve over
faultless teeth. Her nose is daintily tip
tilted like flower, and her abundant hair
is of midnight dusky blackness. Nine.
Reuterskiold in addition to the charms of
person that bOuntiful nature has bestowed
upon her, has the more lasting charm of
graceful and gracious manner. Her
kindly, gentle heart illunines her face
with a brilliancy and beauty that is more
than that of color and form.
Any sketch of the ladies in Washington
official society that did not include Mrs.
Senator Logan would be very incomplete,
as she has for number of years been one
of the most prominent and best known in
the circle. Doubtless Mrs. Logan was
born on the 18th of the month, and the
ancient scribe had her in mind when he
wrote "She will 20 him good and not
EVIL, all the days of her life" From the
time she married General Logan, then a
struggling young attorney in Southern
Illinois, nearly thirty years ago, all
through his career as lawyer, soldier, and
senator, she has been, indeed, a helpmeet
to him in the fullest and truest sense
The impression, however, which prevails
to some extent, that she has written his
speeches, and managed . his campaigns
is erroneous. She, herself, says, in refer
ence to this popular mistake, that she has
had no more to do with managing his po
litical and official life than his military

all these gifts with great wisdom and tact.
But, above all, she is good wife, loyal to
her husband and proud of his success,
encourages him with sympathy, and pos
sessing the faculty not only of winning
friends, but of creating happy and at

intrigue, never arouses jealousies, is gen

the war she remained most of the time at

of the sick and wounded, and actually ex-
pended the generals salary in this way.

BIII NYE'S IDEAS ON CREMATION.
The subject of what we shall do with
ourselves after death is one that should be
duly considered at an early date. In all
seriousness, the soul is not the only thing
to be looked after, either during life or
after death. We are too prone to neglect
our health during life and then bequeth
our accumulated microbes and other re-
suits of long and perhaps crooked car
reer, to some slightly cemetery, set on
hill, like city that cannot be hid.
Longevity is a good thing, though
| have known public men to overdo It, 10
die at the proper moment and leave a
good impression on history is one of the
lost arts To flicker out of life with the
applause of a great people still ringing in
the ear, is a good thing; but man that
is born of woman are too prone to linger
on this side of eternity until they have
done some little thing that is never proper
| ly explained on their tombstones.
But after death what shall we do with
ourselves? In this brief treatise | dare
not attempt to be thorough or even lucid.
Leaving others who know all about it to
state exactly what disposition will be
made of our souls, let us look into the
matter of what we shall do with our
bodies.

Mr.. VIM. Cockrell, of Flatonia, univer-
sity student, about 18 years of age, died
yesterday of dropsy of the heart, the re-
suit of inhammatory rheumatism, caused,
it is stated, by imprudence in not wearing
his overcoat on several occasions (once
when hunting) when the weather was ex-
tremey cold during the past winter. The
disease commenced in one of his wrists
and could not be arrested. His death was
release from great suffering, which he
bore with remarkable fortitude. He is
the only student who has died here since
the university was opened, and was fine
scholar. He joined the Methodist church
soon after he came to attend the univer-
sity and was in every way most exem-
plary young man.
The remains were taken home yesterday
evening, and were attended, to the depot,
by the faculty and students and friends
in the city. His parents have been here
