Dolly Madison was the principal figure.
Some of them, while the executive
mansion was being rebuilt after the
burning, We're held at the Octagon
House, Eighteenth street and New
York avenue. Mr.. Monroe went into
a house rebuilt and newly furnished,
and with Mrs. Monroe as the successor
of Queen Dolly Madison" levees. espc-
cially on New Years day, We're the
features of Washington life. The
terms of Mr.. Monroe were regarded as
those of good feeling, and this fact had
much to do with the success of the
social entertainments.
During the following administration.
that of John Quincy Adams elected
by the house), much of the previous
good feeling was absent. yet it was a
social success due to the tact of Mrs.
Adams. for she not only kept up the
evening levees and New Years reccp-
tions, but attended to providing the
refreshments served and presided over
the frequent dinners. She tactfully
avoided all subjects Of controversy.
In the term of Andrew Jackson the
old custom of holding New Years re-
ceptions and levees was kept up, the
wife of Andrew Jackson Donelson be-
ing the hostess, and the general, in
order to keep up the hospitality to
which he had been accustomed, had to
draw heavily on his private means.-

Some More Colored shooting.

Last Monday afternoon James Davis,
cook, and William Hubbard, dishwash-
er, at the Gillespie hotel, both colored'
got into quarrel in the kitchen and
while Charley Fargo, the proprietor,
was trying to separate them they began
shooting at each other. Mr. Fargo es-
capped injury but both colored men
were hit, Davis in the left side and
Hubbard in the groin. Davis injury
was but slight, while Hubbard's. wound
was at first thought to be serious. DIR.
Murray attended them and soon re.
moved the bullet from Davis side, it
having struck rib and glanced to one
side. Hubbard's wound was more ser
ious and he is at the hospital, where he
will probably be confined some time.

NEW YEARS IN CANADA.
Interesting Customs of the Day
Among Canadians.

1mtereStlmR SuNtOmS Oh tne Ouy
Among Canadian.
YEW YEARS is the one day of
NV the year when every French
Canadian woman is supposed
to be at home to receive visit
ors. More social calls and ceremonious
visits are generally paid by French
Canadian men on New Years than on
any other day of the year. In the coun-
try parts of the province of Quebec this
visiting often begins as early as 8
o'clock in the morning. In the cities
more than a hundred visits are often
made on New Years day, and there
are always some callers who continue
their visits on the two following days,
| though women are not required to re-
main in to receive callers on the days
following New Years day. Up to few
years ago it was the invariable custom
to offer refreshments. including wine.
at every house where visitors We're re-
ceived. Though the old custom is still
observed in many instances there has
been large falling off in recent years
| in the number of hostesscs who oifpf
Intoxicating liquors to visitors.
Among rival village bellies and even
young leaders of French Canadian city
life there is much rivalry as to the
number of calls received by each of
them on New Years day. The popu-
larity of this visiting is no doubt large
ly contributed to by the rule which per-
mits the callers to kiss all the young
women to whom they are related in
even the most distant manner. Inter-
marriage is a marked characteristic
of ench-Canadan society and the
circle of relationship is usually very eN-
tended therefore.
Among other New Years day GUS
toms perpctuated in parts of French
Canada is that known as In benedic-
tion .paternelle = the blessing of the
children of the household by Their
father. Sometimes this ceremony is
performed after the return home of the
family from the mass of the day in the
parish church. In other households. it
is made the first experience of the new

So stately. so slow was each step that she made.
And so graceful the head that she bent;
The old fashioned fan that at times cast shade
Such air OF true elegance lent;
The place OF the dance gave q place to my
thought,
And dreamed Of the days that are dead;
The spell of the dance was by sorcery wrought,
And the hurrying modern days fed.
1t was peace. the sweet rest of the olden day
When all Idols were not overthrown,
When romance still lived and. king love held
sway,
Before AIammon to ruler had grown,
And all those who watched were bcwitchcd by the
dance,
And they dreamed till the measure was o'er;
Today was forge. in the short backward glance
And the charms Of the day gone before.

WI that in the beginning of the

N that Ill the beginning OF the
year men should find an au-
gury for the future. Ever since the
reckoning of time began the fortune of
the new years initial day has been re-
galded as in Il measure Indicative of
what was to come during the twelve
months succeeding. We no longer go
to augurs to foretell the future-that
is, most of us do not-for instead of be-
ing installed in temples and living in
luxury the soothsayers now inhabit
humble quarters in back streets and al
leys. But the vein of superstition
which runs through the human race is
bound to manifest itself in some way,
and, although we are prone to regard
ourselves as quite above the foolish
practices of our ancestors, we never
theless, in lingering remnants of GUS
tom, show that perhaps we are not so
far advanced as we think ourselves.
This desire to peer into the future is
the origin of not few of the SUPER
stitions which we now openly deride,
with mental reservation that, per-
haps, after all, it is just barely possible
there may be something in them. In
nearly all countries some form Of
divination is practiced, particularly by
the young, on New Years day to fore
tell the future. The Scottish people
are fond of regarding themselves as
highly intellectual, but in this matter
they are as credulous as the peasant
of the Sicilian mountains. He uses his
beads, but the Scotchman employs his
Bible, which he places back down on
a table, permits it to fall open of its
own weight. then, without looking, he
puts his finger OH q page and reads the
verse on which it rests, and this is
supposed to indicate his fortune for the
year.
The world over cards and dice are in
high favor as being supposed to indi-
cate the DEGREES of fate. The cards
and the throws are fortunate or the re-
verse in about equal numbers, SO that
every one has fair chance of obtain
ing an omen for good. The actions and

The Elki,orn Railroad Last Week and Wis.,

The South Dakota Railroad commits
sioners arrived in Hot Springs last Fri
accompanied by f. a. Harmon in his
private car. The party consisted of
DR.. w. G. Smith, chairman, of Sturgis;
Alex Kirkpatrick, Frank LeCocq, jr.,
and w. II. Stanley, secretary of the
commission. The following from the
Def dwood Pioneer-Times of Saturday
explains their mission:
".The commission left Chadron yes
terday morning and went through to
Belle Fourche. They left the latter
place by special train and reached
Deadwood at o'clock. They pulled
out on the regular passenger train last
evening for Sturgis and expect to re-
turn here before leaving for the east
tomorrow night.
"They are in the Hills for the pur-
pose of inspecting the Elkhorn system
in this end of the state and for receiv
ing and acting upon such complaints
as may be submitted to them. Today
at Sturgis they will hold one of their
regular monthly meetings, at which
Black Hills affairs and matters pre-
sented from other parts of the state
will be acted upon. The headquarters
OF the commission is at Sioux Falls at
which place Secretary Stanley's Office
is located.
"The secretary is a man who brings
an amount Of enthusiasm to bear on
the duties of his office and is fully
alive to the Importance of the commits
sion's work. The office is no sinecure,
but keeps the members and the secre-
tary in particular, busily employed
Throughout the greater part of the
year.
"Before coming to the Hills the COM
mission was engaged in railroad in
spection in the eastern part of the
state. They have recently gone over
the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul, and the Chicago Il North.
western, east of the Missouri river.
"They have found railroad affairs in
excellent condition in this locality
The number of complaints submitted
from the Black Hills is comparatively
small, in fact this end of the state ha.
always had an enviable record in tha
respect.
Secretary Stanley pays high tribute
to the untiring application to the worl
displayed by the members of the com
mission. He. firmly holds that it would
have been difficult to select in th'
state another three men, more energet
ic in discharge of the important dutie
( that are entrusted to them"

While the shadows were spread far and wide.
But the shadows msty-a softened gray
In accord with the slow melody;
The light of the fire drove the dark lines away.
While it lent all sweet mystery.
Both dancers were courtly and figures Of grace.
Yet the maid held my fancy alone;
The glow gave blush TO her beautiful face;
In her dark eyes faircr light shone.
And then as she curtesied SO stately, SO slow,
With the grace of age that is past.

Like dream that knew could not last.
