unusually large perccntage of them bear names of historic power, and their per sonal fortunes will long interest tho Amer ican people. Mrs. Phil Sheridan has but lately introduced her daughter to society, and it is remarked, ns in the case of the protegces of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris that the old Confederates and their sons arc among her most devoted admirers. An other noted debutante is Miss Justine de Pcyster, sprung from that old New York house which divided during the Revolu- tion, the American branch and the New Brunswick branch becoming equally prominent in the respective lands. Miss Audrey Pauncefote, fourth and youngest daughter of Sir Julian Pauncefote British ambassador, has been ushered into society with party of moro than ordinary bril- liancy. Other dcbutantes in official circles arc Miss Elizabeth Brewer, second daugh- ter of Justice Brewer of tho supreme court, and Miss Mary German, youngest daugh. ter of Senator German.
 Notes of Society.
 Tho blue and the gray arc united in so- ciety as never before, and the example of Jefferson Davis daughter has found many imitators. It Is matter of really curious interest that Miss Virginia Stuart Mosby, daughter Uf that Virginia colonel who used to make things so lively in this vicin- tty, was recently married at Fairfax Court House to Mir Watson Coleman, pri- vate secretary to Hon. Lafe Pence There is also quite u touch of poetry in the fact that the houso of Mrs. Sartoris is tho fa- voritc resort of Confederate officers who fought against her father and of the sons and daughters of the warriors on both sides, and that several unions arc expected as n result of this informal Rcb Yank or
 ganizatiOn. One old enough to have par ticipatcd in the war and war politics can but wonder what view the coming men, who are to be grandsons at once of Federal and Confederate officers, will take of our great civil war. A bout all we can say with certainty is that it will not be our
 view.
 So far the buds and conciliators. In the Buddhist line Mir. Eirchand B. Gandhi is quite tho lion and is making considerable hcadway in society and among free in quirCrs generally. Tho ladies of tho Twcn- ticth Century club have arranged for a series of lectures on tho occult, and we arc promised variety of interesting but somewhat vague and mystifled uttcrances.
 l met Mir. Gandhi at Chicago, talked with him briefly and heard his address in the | congress of religions. Those who under 1 stood it said it was really quite sublime, | but it was too technical for the under | signed. Washington also rcjoices in the
 advent of several bachelor girls" as they art called, meaning those who have taken high degree in some art or science, and | noted among them is Dr. Julia Harrison, 1 n cousin of the cxprcsident. It only re-
 mains to add that tho death rate of this
 city is and has been for some time the very
 lowest ever reported, standing recently at l l7.2o against m average 20 years ago of
 nearly twice that, and so 1t will be seen
 that in spite of hard times and the late election we arc still far from being entire | ly unhappy. J. B. PARKE.

Notes on Lions,

The tongue of a lion is so rough that a close look at it will almost take the skin of the locker. It is not safe to allow a lion to lick your hand, for if he licked the skin of and got taste of the underlying blood, suppOSing 1t to be there, he would want the hand and everything adjoining thereto. Nothing more perfect in modern machinery exists than tho mechanism by which a lion works his claws. He has five toes on each of his fore feet and four on his hind feet. Each toe has n claw. Nothing about lion is without reason, and the reason he has moro toes and claws on his fore than on his hind feet is that he has moro use for them. If this were not so, the majority would be the other way. Tho lion is nocturnal by choice. He has no particular objection to daylight, but likes to spend it in the bosom of his family, or at least djaccnt to 1t. It should not he supposed that because he roams about at night that he neglects his family. He roams in order to fill the family larder. He kills to cat. not for amusement. He never bothCrs small game so long as there Is big game within reach. When feeling fit, he can take an OK in his mouth and jump fences and ditchcS like q professional stccplC chaser.
