How Washington Mammals Nran-

A great many outsiders, writes 8
Washington correspondent, have
laughed at the announcements which
frequently appear in the society pa
pers that shIrs. Jones ofthe army will
receive Wednesdays in January" or
Mrs Smith Of the navy will give atea
Tuesday" but perhaps MRS. Jones"
and "Mrs. Smith have really more
to say in relation to some of themost
important matters concerning the SER
vice than their husbands. Women are
matchless and peerless in the manage
ment of the hundreds of intrigues
which abound everywhere at the Capt.
tai, and which have for their object
the advancement of one officer or the
humiliation of another. Strange to
say, some of the most powerful lady
schemers are the wives of retired Off
GERS of the army and navy. If one OF
these elderly DANES happens to have
an eligible daughter the young officer
on duty here must be very sure of the
ground before he attempts either to
win or avoid her. Ii his conduct is
not satisfactory he will suddenly find
himself ordered away with q celer-
ity that will almost take his
breath away. 1t may be that he will
not be able to understand how
it was accomplished and the means
therefor, but he will at least realize
that he knows who received the blow.
An instance of this nature happen
ed here only a short time ago. young
officer connected withthe navalestab-
lishment, and who has been on duty
here for some months, began paying the
most assiduous attentions to the fair
daughter of a lady who is a power in
the ring" He was poor, but proud,
handsome and impecunious. AS q
brilliant alliance is expected by the
old lady, she made up her mind to
put an end to the affair, which really
had not progressed very far. Onefine
day this officer received an officialdoc
ument ordering him to station about
5000 miles away. While he was max
ing the necessary preparations for his
departure the young lady was sent
out of town Ito spend the holidays
with some friends" Her whereabouts
were unknown to the officer, SO he was
obliged to take his departure without
the painful pleasure of q ''sweet part
ing" Some of the officers friends
have ascertained that the orders were
actually secured by the mother.

A FELLow.

D~elmonico's is where he dimes
On quail on toast, washed down with wines
Then lights a 20-cent cigar
With quite a flourish at the bar.
He throws his money down, go proud,
And sets 'em up for all the crowd;
4 dozen games Of billiards, too,
de gayly loses ere he's through.
Oh, he's a splendid fellow, quite;
He pays his debts with such delight,
And often boasts Otto his clan
His honor as a gentleman.
But, when this splendid fellows wife,
Who leads at home a frugal life,
Begs for a little change to buy
A dress, he looks at her so wry
That she, alarmed at his distress,
Elves him q kiss and sweet caress,
And says: Don't worry SO, my dear,
III turn the dress / made last year.

Washington Colored Aristocracy.

sTaere u an a~ristocracy among the
colored people OF Washington as well
as among the white, and it is quite as
exclusive writes a correspondent to
the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat. "The
caste is very strictly marked, and it is
as difficult for a camel to 90 through
the eye of a needle as for a member of
the class denoted as trash to gain
admission to the circle of the quality
negroes. The focus or pole around
which the heightened colored society
revolves is the Fifteenth Presbyterian
church, which stands in an aristocratic
section or ecity-McPh crson square
beside the residences of associate
Justice Blatchford Of the supreme
court and within q stones throw of
the palace Senator Palmer ofMichigan
hal Just completed. Fred Douglas
does not worship here, but lives
in q suburban village called Union
town, and belongs to the Baptist de-
nomination. Sinceh he married a white
woman he has not been received as
cordially as before in the saristocratic
circles of his race, who thought he
might have found q spouse Of his own
color in better taste. Mrs. O'Hara is
one of the lovliest ladies in Washing
ton, and were it. not for the slight
trace Of negro blood in her veins she
would be q leader in white society.
Like Mrs. Bruce, who is also beautiful,
she is O. highly educated and accom-
plished woman, speaks French, plays
Beethoven, paints plaques, and is up
in art and literature to a degree that
would make some of her white sisters
blush for envy. Both Mrs. Bruce and
Mrs. O'Hara are very nearly white,
and it would be difficultfor a stranger
10 detect their relation to the African
race. Mrs. OsHara has q white gov
erness for her children, and intends
that they shall be as accomplished as
herself"

Good Effects from Sanitary Meas
ures.

The following is from the London
Times: "An important supplement
to the annual report of the registrar
general has just been issued, showing
the extent to which zymotic diseases
have prevailed in the last ten years.
1t is asserted that since the enforce
ment OF the vaccination acts there
has been q gradual and notable de-
cline in the mortality from smallpox.
The decline in the mortality from
scarlet fever was very considerable,
the annual deaths per 1000, 600 hav-
ing fallen from 972 to 716. The de-
cline under the heading of measles has
been much less considerable, being
only from 44O to 378. The deaths
from fever, including typhus, enteric
fever and ill-defined forms ofcontinued
fever, fell from an annual average of
8S5 per 1,OOO,0 600 to 4S4, n decline of
no less than forty-five per cent. This
Is held to be the most satisfactory of
all the declines showed in the table.
not only because it is the greatest in
amount, but because enteric fever is,
of all diseases, putting asint the effect
Of vaccination upon smallpox, the
one which is most directly and larSely
affected by sanitary measures. There
fore the decline in mortality under
this heading is the best test available
of the efficacy OF sanitary administers
ton, careful sewerage, better water
supply and other sanitary improve
ments."

A Boy who Understands EN-.

The other morning a boy about IA
years of age knocked at the door of q
house on Brush street and asked the
woman if she didn't want the snow
cleaned of The walk.
How much?" She cautiously in
Quired.
Thirty cents"

"Well, what do you say?"

Eyes, but"
"What did she say?"
"She said I'd get left. She said that
any woman who wore a plush sacqne
and passed it off for a $500 sealskin
would be mean enough to go out
nights and shovel her own snow"
sBoyl' whispered the woman, rs
she turned white clear around her
neck, ~ want you to clean of the

Sometimes clergymen are sent for as
hurriedly as doctors. That was the
case with the Rev. Mr. Hope, at Char
~lottesville, Va, the other day, when,
being down town, he was urged to
hasten homework. Passing thither
with feet scarcely less winged than
those of Mercury, he found a rocka-
way filed with young people 1 n front
OF his house. "Alight and come In"
said he; but the prettiest of the maid.
y blushed and shook her head, while
the bridegroom said, Marry us here,
sir" And so Miss Hildebrand, OF
Albemarle, was thus married to Mr..
Krizer, of Albemarle. "sTwas the
spice of romance they liked" said Rev.
Mr.. Hope afterward, ''and, bless
them, it was all right

MARRIED.

Mr.. Robert L. Webb and Miss
Lillian Bryant were married on the

Mitchum's residence, last::rTlesday
night, by the Rev. j. P. Weaver.
1t was a runaway match. Theyoung

Mr.. +. D. Pearce and Miss Matte
Henderson were married last Wednes'
day night at the residence of the
brides father, DR.. Henderson, the
Rev. j; D. Lewis officiating. The

present besides the family. Many
friends congratulate them in their
happiness, and the Exchange throws
its slipper after them for good luck.

celebration of thanksgiving day we
think. May they live to enjoy many
returns of the day.
In our notice last week of the mar
riage of Mr.. White and Miss Harlan,
an error occurred. The Rev. j. D.
Lewis married them, AMI not Bro.
Weaver.
The marriage epidemic continues
without abatement. We know Of
others who are sick with the malady,
and their cases will probably reach ii
crisis in few days. We are reliably
informed that marriage Will be Gel
ebrated in the Baptist church next
Tuesday at II am.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Townes cele.
brated their golden wedding last
Wednesday night. Only few friends
were invited. They are among the
oldest and best people of our town,
and the Exchange wishes they may
celebrate their diamond wedding.

Two Horses Drowned.

Last Tuesday, while returning from
Trenton, Messrs. Wilson Sims and
Willie Grizzard crossed the FOrked
Deer at the bridge near Double
Springs. The water was out of the
banks and over the lOwlands at this
end of bridge, and the road makes a
turn there. Not being familiar with
the road, they drove straight ahead
and went off into deep water, They
escaped by jumping out, but the hors'
es and buggy were washed down sew
eral hundred yards and the animals
drowned. They belonged to Mr.. W.
Y. Mathis and were about the best
team he had The loss is great to
him.
Fonnie Loving also had narrow
esca oe at the crossing near Hale's
farm the same day. After crossing the
bridge, while going over the canse-
way, he found that the earth had been
washed from under it, and he was
driving over floating logs, with deep
water under him. The escape of him
and his team was almost miraculous.
A levee should be\built at both APP
proaches to that bridge.
