in public this season in full dress he attended
the entertainment given in the parlors of
the Chalfonte Monday evening. The ladies
of the household were with them. and the
whole party was well received. The enter
tainment's proceeds were devoted to the

phia. United States Civil Service Commis-
sioner Lyman, who is stopping al the Cape
with his family for a couple of weeks, was

The borough in which the President lives
is peculiar place and has peculiar people.
The place has been without government for
about two years, ana only last IueSday,
after attempting to have three elections,
they decided by the enormous vote of 20 to
to Ieincorporate. The officers of the bOr
ough number Il and the Election Board, APP
pointed under the State law, is composed of
six additional persons who cannot hold any
other office, which makes the whole number
OF officers %. In this case, after next Tues
day week, when the election for officers
takes place, there Will be but i've private
citizens, and, as there are as many colored
as white people that vote in the borough,
the probability is that the officers are as apt
to be colored as white.
Colonel A. Louden Snowden, United States
Minister to Greece and Roumania. has been
stopping at the stockton this week. 1t is said
that he may be appointed Minister to Russia
if he will accept the pest.
