WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The marine

The plague made it's first appearances

has since then spread in all directions
along the coast and inland Three wears
ten miles south of Swallow, had a yerv
bad spell. 1t is said that over 10000 per.
sons died in that one city Many villages
between Canton and Ii o, seventy miles
inland from Swallow, have lost one-third
to one-half of their inhabitants. In iris
bendghted country nothing is done. the
plague will have it's run for years and
many over-populated districts may be
thinned out considerably

of Indifference in that matter. In
Washington the cards were always pre-
served, and a failure to make the New
Years call, or to leave the card, was
generally followed by omission of'the
offending person from the invitations
of the house. Where there were many
hundreds of such friends and acquain-
tances this imperative duty became eX-
.eedingly irksome, and this, in great
measure, accounts for the discontin-
uance, to q large extent, of the prac-
tice.
In the great majority of families
light refreshments were served to all
of the guests, who began to arrive
shortly after noon, and Continued to
drop in until late in the evening-often
until nine or ten o'clock. The practice
of serving punch with other refresh
ments was a custom justly reprehensi-
BILE in the judgment of temperance peo
pie, as calculated to stimulate, espe-
cially in young men, an appetite for
drink.
Still another reason for the decline
of this custom was the fact that the
hostess felt in duty bound to include in
the list of those to be invited to the
social festivities of the house during
the ensuing year, all persons whose
cards were left on New Years. The
great number of callers made this duty
also an irksome one, particularly as
some of them were sure to prove unde-
sirable acquaintance.
At the national capital every con-
veyance in the city was in active serv-
Ice on New Years day, and the lack of
a sufficient number of carriages made
it imperative that the gentlemen
should call in groups of three, four, or
half dozen. This expedient proved
a very cheerful one, and added greatly
to the gayety of the day.
Some times, also, the ladies received
In groups-often six, and sometimes
even double that number, being pres
emit to welcome callers. In some for
NAL houses announcement was made al
the drawing-room door of the names
