Why Gen. Grant Did Not Dine with
Car Alexander.

Especial Washington letter.

. Il
One who has been connected with the
diplomatic corps at this capital for a.
number of years this evening mar
rated to the writer the reason
why Gen. Grant was not invited to
dine with the car of Russia when he
was in ST.. Petersburg;l when the po-
tentates of all other countries were
entertaining Gen. Grant and giving ban
quets in his honor. tits q singular fact
courtesy from Gen. Grant; and, as the
story is told, he was justified by dip
lomatic usage in pursuing that course.
It seems that in the first year Of
Grants presidency the car Of Russia
appointed Constantine de Catacazy to
be his minister plenipotentiary to the
United States. This was in the sum-
mer of 1869. Minister Catacazy leased
a large and handsome house in the fash
ionable northwest section of the city;
and, though long since deserted by dip
lomats, it retains the name of the Cata-
cay house, because of the history
given to it by the Russian minister and
his wife, during their six years resi-
dence, there.
Minister Catacazy was short, fat,
pudgy fellow, of ELUSIVE manners. he
cultivated a genial manner, but it was
manifestly insincere. Hewas at all times.
manifestly boorin the parlor, a lout in
a drawing-room; and no amount of dia-
monds, and not any number of gor-
geous banquets, could change his man
ifest unfitness for the companionship
of diplomats of superior attainments.
Nine. Catacazy was q tall, graceful
derful hair, type of Germany's most
beautiful women of the upper classes.
That her life had not been at all like
the life of Caesars wife was probably
due to the wiclSedness of others, at
least primarily. No matter how good
and refined a girl may be, she must
become degraded in her own estimation
when she is sold into slavery, by COM
pulsory marriage with an old man,
as this girl was sold when she was a
mere slip of girl. A rich italian
nobleman wanted her; and she was
married to him against her will. Of
course she never loved the old roue, but
was obliged to live with him, and make
pretense of being loyal and affection
ate wife.
The fact that she became princess
and an ambassadress did not tighten
the load of misery which she bore as
the unwilling wife of a broken-down
physical wreck, who was the Italian
ambassador to Brazil. Their gorgeous
residence in Rio de Janeiro was to her
Jail, and she prisoner planning es-
cape.
Young Catacazy was secretary of the
Russian legation at Rio de Janeiro,
and became acquainted with the Ital
ian princess and ambassadress at one
of the public receptions. That the
beautiful girl-wife was weary unto des-,
peration with her life, and that her
italian nobleman was intensely dis
agreeable to her, was made manifest
when she took fancy to fat and sleek,
Catacazy, and he was frequent visit
or at the italian embassy, until the

Lee at West Point.

The late General RE. Lee was super intendent of the Military Academy at West Point from September l, 1852 until March 31, 1855. An Atlanta woman, 8 visitor at "the Point" looked in vain for portrait of him. The faces of the other superintendents gazed down on her from the walls, but not Lees. She wrote to her father, Virginia con- gressman, about it. He wrote to the secretary of war. The secretary re- ferred the matter to the present su- perintendent, Colonel Miller. Colonel Miller now reports to Mir Root that af- ter diligent inquiry he is satisfied there never was picture of General Lee at West Point "The present collection of portraits" he writes, "has been made mainly slnce 1870. I would be glad to add to it General Lees DOT trait in his uniform as United States officer, if donated to the Academy" It is announced that the Georgia woman will commission an artist to paint the portrait from daguerreotype taken in the early tifties. .-Hartford Courant.

Present Day Congregationalism

In the November number of "The National Magazine" Maitland Leroy Osborn writes thus of the recent Sec ond International Congregational Council atBoston:
 "The vast audiences, in which the large majority were men, which crowded Fremont Temple. when dis tinctly theological themes wore an- nounced, show that interest is not waning ID the consideration of man s relations with God. The position stated by President Angell in his ad- dress was plainly the position of the council, that the denomination is to be mprehensive in its membership not exclusive. There is room within it for full freedom in investigating all religious questions and for wide diver sity of opinions, if only there is main- tsined supreme loyalty to the Saviour But in respect to questions which have recently made lines of separation in this, as in other denominations, the period of controversy among Congre- gationslists is past, if we may judge by the temper of the gathering"

THE u. w. HALL co.
Paid Their Creditors in Full.

The NEWS of August IS, 1898 said "The G. ". Hall Co.,, Lakeville and Falls Village. have applied to the Su- perior Court for receivers. It is under stood that the firm will pay one hun dred cents on the dollar. George H. Knight and W. B. Perry of Lakevllle have been appointed temporary receiv- ers."
 The NEWS today takes pleasure in an- nouncing that The G. W. Hall Go. have paid all their creditors in full; and fur thermors there is quite bundle of money to bs divided among the stock holders of the company. Those facts are pleasing not only to the creditors but to the stockholders. It is very rare that receivers of any corporation find assets enough to pay creditors in full. Several months SEQ Mr G. W. Hall told the editor of the NEWS that if The G. W. Hall Co. were not able, as com pany, to pay their creditors he should individually pay his proportion of the liabilities. He had always paid his bills and he intended to pay every dol lar he owed notwithstanding legion of persons whom he has trusted and help cd have wronged him out of many thou sands of dollars by not paying for the merchandise they have bought of him since he embarked in the mercantile business.
 The following letter is only one of many similar letters that show friendly feeling and confidence:
