FOR THE GREAT EVENT.

Arrangements for the Washington Cen.
tennial at New York Progressing Satis-
factOriiy-The Invitations to the Canten-
NAL Quadrille.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The arrange
ments for the various features of the
Washington centennial are progressing
satisfactorily under the care and control
OF the different sub committees, and the
chalrmen are growing more energetic,
with hvelier appreciation Of the way the
time is passing, and that we are within
six weeks or the celebration. The mill
tary parade on April so, and the industrial
parade of May 1, are in charge of tho
committee on army, with Colonel S. V. r.
Cruger as chairman and the Fifth Avenue
Hotel as headquarters. and the pro-
gramme already outlined shows that
the centennial demonstration will
be success. if size, brilliancy and
color can secure it. 1t is stated by those
who know, that nearly all the venerable
ladies who were invited to dance in the
opening quadrille at the ball have sig
nltied their intention of accepting the in
Vltation. There will be two or three va
cancles, however, and these will be made
good by ladies selected as before because
Of revolutionary ancestry. The ladies
who will be asked to substitute for those
unable to dance will not hesitate, it is
Thought, to come forward, as the COM
mlttee was bound to ask the older ladies
first. And it is the ladies who actually
dance whose names will be preserved in
the history of the affair.
3 An interesting point which has just
come out is that Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt is eligible to place in the quadrille by
reason of her distinguished ancestry, and
1T has been suggested that she may &C
lcept one of the probable vacancies and
stand up with Mrs. Aston and Mrs. Will
lam Waldorf Astor. The newspapers
told the beginning of story some weeks
ago to the effect that Mrs. Vanderbilt had
reason to believe that she was descended
from General Francis Marion, OF the rev.
olution, and acting on this belief, she sent
word to Charleston, S. c., through Ward
McAllister. that she would pay for the
restoration of General Marion's grave,
which had fallen into neglected condi-

ANIMALS AT PLAY.

How Small and Large Birds. Jaguars and
Cougars Amuse Themselves.
Small birds chase each other about
in play; but perhaps the conduct OF
the crane and the trumpeter is the most
extraordinary. The latter stands on
one leg. hops about in the most eccen-
trio manner, and throws somersaults.
Some call it the mad bird. on account
of these singularities. Water birds,
such as ducks and geese, dive after
each other, and clear the surface of
the water with outstretched neck and
tapping wings, throwing abundant
spray around. Deer often engage in a
sham battle, OR trial of strength, by
twisting their horns together and push
ing for the mastery. All animals pre-
tending violence in their play stop
short of exercising it; the dog takes
the greatest precaution not to inJure
by his bite; and the ourang-outang, in
wrestling with his keeper, pretends to
throw him, and makes feints of biting
him. Some animals carry out in their
play the semblance of catching their
prey; young cats, for instance, leap after
every small and moving object, even
to the leaves strewn by the autumn
wind; they crouch and steal forward,
ready for the spring, the body CULVER
ing, and the tail vibrating with emo
ton, they bound on the moving leaf.
and again spring forward to another.

story of tame magpie. that was seen
busily employed in a garden, gather

hole made to receive a post. After
dropping each stone, it cried ''cur-

dent of Chicago since 1866. As near as
can be learned the acquaintance of the
bride and groom began about three years
ago, when Justice Fuller resided on Lake
avenue, a short distance from the home
of young Aubrey. The young couple met
often and their acquaintance soon ripen-
ed into love. This became apparent to
the Fullers shortly before they moved to
Washington, and they strongly opposed
it. Since about January 1st Miss Fuller
has been in Chicago visiting friends, and
it seems the young people had no great
difficulty in arranging and carrying out
their plans.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Chief-Justice
Fuller was found by preventative of
the United Press in the robing room of
the Supreme Court shortly before noon
to-day. He had just dOnned his robe pre-
paratory to entering upon the judicial du-
ties of the day. He seemed surprised and
shocked when the United Press dispatch
was shown to him, announcing the elope-
ment and marriage, at Milwaukee, of
his daughter to Mr.. j. Matt Aubrey, Jr.,
of Chicago. He said that he had heard
nothing of the matter before. He read the
first part of the story, and then thanking
his informant for the information he
retired to the inner room.
In response to question put to him as
he was vanishing through the doorway,
he said that he had no statement to make.
Mrs. Fuller, who was seen later, made
a brief statement. She said that she was
at loss to understand her daughters
conduct There was no necessity for an
elopement. If she had said she wanted
to marry, there would have been no OPP
position. She and her husband would be
welcome at her fathers home.

GOING TO LAW.
A Luxury Which No Sensible Man Should
Indulge In.


Indulge In.
Law has been called a luxury, but
surely more with a view to its cost
than to the pleasure men can derive
from recourse to it. Save in very ex-
ceptional cases-such as the settlement
of a great question of principle in
which whole classes may be involved,
and in which the parties to the case
are really representative individuals,
through which circumstance personal
bias Or luminosity is largely removed
from them-law is the resort of the
foolish and imprudent. In nine cases
out of ten of mere litigation, narrow
miildedness and ill-temper have much
to do with it, and, once in, the whole
hundred little articles, to fan the
flame rather than to allay it.
We gratefully remember, as q
relief to the depressing story
of what we may call legal hunger. the
case of Mr., Thomas Brassey, who, in
all his long experience as contractor,
engaged in most extensive and COM
IFdUSctcLlOHS. OIlly OuCo dl -
lowed himself to be led into a lawsuit,
and that. he tells us, was in the case of
Spanish railway in which, unfortu-
nately, he had a partner who would
not rest satisfied without recourse to
law ON some point in dispute. Mr..
Brassey declared that he would not
enter on another lawsuit in any cir
cumstances whatever; his conviction
being that, even if you won your case,
it would not repay you for the loss of
peace of mind the strength taken from
your business, and the general disar-
rangement in your affairs consequent
on such process.
Sir Walter Scott, who knew we'll
what going to law means, being him
self a lawyer, has embodied for us the
passion for law which grows with what
it feeds On in the person of Peter
PEBBLES; and Charles Dickens in moth
