Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

June ~, 1Se1.--Although this morn
ing at daybreak was the time set for
an attack by the secessionists on the
troops OF the United States in and
around washington, according to nu-
merous reports which have been re-
ceived here and in the North, there has
been no intination Of an attack. In
fact. this has been the Quietest day
which the people of Washington have
experienced In a month. Not a word
had been received by telegraph up to
noon indicating any movement by the
disunionists against the city.
In recent months many letters from
persons in the Southern States to per-
sons in the loyal States have included
intimations that the commanders of
the Secesh troops planned to capture
Washington city on or before this par
ticular morning. These letters have
been sent by the recipients to the mill
itary authorities here, and a sharp
watch has been kept to ascertain the
movements of the enemy. The state
by other information gathered by the
cluSion that an attack on the city was
planned to take place during the past
week.
Probably the attack was not made
because it would have been foolhardy to
attempt it. At least that is the view
OF the military authorities here. While
the diSunion!st commanders have no
lack of men for such q move, 1t is not
believed that they have ammunition
and other supplies sufficient TO carry 1t
out successfully.
The army massed under Beauregard
between here and Culpeper, Va, Is be-
lieved TO number not more than 10000
men in all.
An officer of the city volunteers who
has returned here on business reports
all quiet at the various posts when he
left. The 5th Battalion, Lieut.. Col.
Everett, is posted with three companies
at the Great Falls and one company at
Seneca Greek, Md. The I'd Battalion,
Mai. Jewell, is at Seneca Mills. The
Sd Battalion, Mai. Smead, Is one mile
above Jamestown.
The 9th New York Regiment is at
Poolesville. Md, but the exact location
of the other portions Of Col. stone
command at the time this officer Iett
was not known.
Speaking of the complaints OF the
men relative to want OF provisions, TINS
officer thought that the situation was
largely due to carelesSness by the men
in wasting much of the food that IS
given them. The provisions are regu-
larly distributed, he said, by the quar-
termaster.

Experience is also more direct and

more likely to remember the lessons of

Study Art of Being Entertaining
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

ITO be entertaining one must actually
entertain. Many persons buy new mats
or new frocks and when they put them
on and so to q gathering or welcome
guests seem to think that that Is
enough without making any further
effort, Such accessories may be help
full in focusing attention on ones sell
usually. but 1t takes more than that
to instill real interest.
II make point Of remembering
Jokes and anecdotes and have them at
the tip Of my tongue to use whenever
the conversation requires enllvening
These must bear in some way on the
subject under discussion, or else / have

1t may be to put a facetious element
into what threatens TO become con-
verSation too heavy for the occasion
or dangerously argumentative. Such
conversation gets boring to listeners un-
less livened up.
AN anecdote may be such that it
draws some otherwise quiet person into
conversation, because it touches sub
ject about which he or she knows more
than others, or some hobby about Whlcn
the person can talk entertainingly.
Another ingredient in being enter

amusing or diverting others. Every
person who goes out socially should
have some of these 'parlor tricks.
They include playing on the piano or
some musical instrument. singing. tell

knowing card tricks not necessarily di-

diversity the better, but nothing should
be done unless we'll done, II only in an
amateur way.
IN Europe guests are often invited
to help what is called the 'humor Of
