Written by Our Oun Correspondent, . ‘WasmiNeToX, D. C., March 31.—Easter Sunday contributed its welcome gift of golden sunshine, and soft, delicious air, to a multitude happy to bid a long farewell to Lent, and eager to wel- come the advent of spring holidays. Although €0 early in the season, some beautifol Easter suits were worn, rivilling, in their variety of col- oring, the flowers with which the churches were #0 profusely trimmed. One toiletts was an ex- quisite combination of hyacinth and silver-gray sil. The wunderskirt snd sleeves being made of the first-mentioned color, and the jaunty apron-front waist and sashes of the last-named shade. The hat was of gray silk, while clusters of rich velvet pansies, io all the varying shades of purple, ornamented tke front and canght the endsin the back. Gray and purple seem to be a favorite combination tkis spring, and also the extreme shades of the same color are just as fashionable as ever. One guit was on exquisite mingliog of steecl-blue gray and pale ashen-gray silks ; another, of an almost invisible gresn and a pale light-green. Another still. of a deep mouse-color, and that * chastened tinge of the sky when the trout leaps highest to catch the " fiy.” GIFTS FROM WILLING HEARTS. Our city religeuse are largely composed of Bo- manists and Episcopalians, and the services in the various churches are particularly besutiful and imposing Eastor SBundsy. Upon entering anyof the churches, Wordsworth's lines suggest themselves : Flowers Iangh before thoe in their beds, ; And frageance in thy foothug treads, 80 redolent are the sanctuanes with the perfume of these floral offerings, geuerally the *free- will-offerings™ of the congregations. Children hoard their pennies for months beforehand, in order to donate a generous Easter gitt to the charch. RIOH AXD RARE WERE THE GEMS SHE WORE. Not more than three yearsago, Nilsson, the fair Norwegian songstress, took from one of her fair slsnder fingers a beautiful and coatly diamond ring, and placed it upon the plate which was handed around in 8t. John's Church. The ring was afterwards raffled, and s generons sum real ized, which was placed with other funds devoted to the conversion of the Jewe. And, if I mis- take not, Christine Nilsson married a French Jew, and_perhaps the glittering jewel was 2o~ companied by au earnest tear and prayer for her lovar, asking that the scales might, some day, fall from bis eyes. HIC JACET. ‘What will Washington Epicurean’s do withont John Welcker, whose famous cuisine has beralded bis name 2t _home aod abroad as the Prince of caterers! His sudden derth the other day was a real shock to the community, who have grown fond of the man both from bis kind- liness and honest deslings, and from his remark- able culinary skill. Where else were ever such trufiles prepared, or such dainty swostbreads and peas served ? Could any other mortal place more tempting qusils-on-toast before hungry eyes? S e Rocis cae voluatarily from far Northern icy streams, to be treated in the regal manuer they were suro of receiving af John Welckor's hands! There was no pecessity of going to Saratoga for .thoe potatoea for which that watering-place is renowned. At Welcker’s they were just as transparent, and crispy, and dsinty, and juicier steaks, more incomparably ‘broiied, counld not be found the wide world over. AWOEE AKD FOUND THEMSELVES FAMOUS. ters are desirzble under all circumstances of freshness, but they undorwent: such marvel- lous transformations at the magfic touch of John ‘Welcker that, had they tongues, even cooked ones, they would have offered a unanimous resolution of thanks to the man whose artistic hands had surrounded then with such pearls of gout. SENSIBLE TO THE LAST. ‘When Senator Jones first appeared here, with his new honora and dignities, he took a enite of rooms at Welcker's, on Fifteenth stroet, and lived regally, as his taste dictated and his purse could afford to provide. The ordinary prices for bonrd and rooms wero from $8to $12 per diem, extrae not connted. An informal supper would cost from $4 to $5 per plate, bat then the visnds furnishod wera such that their flavor would linger with undimigiched s2vory remem- brance until the nttermost limit of e-8C0r0 and ton yea:s had been reached ! TIS PATR All the wealthy and distiugnished foreigners who have visited our country for years past have been drawn to Jobn Welckers, &3 certainly 28 the needlo turns towerds to pole. Charles Dickens had rooms at his house, and praised the caterer and the choice food which came forth from the inexhanstible m.‘lfiplinl of his larder. And Sam Ward, **Kingof the Lobby ” and Prince Tmperial -of epicureenism, has given and par- taken of some of the most remarkablo meals on record, witain the handsome parlors of Welcker's restanraot, and the *“bead™ could be seen spark- ling on stronger baverages than * water” from early in the evening until the faint streaks of light in the eastern sky warned the feasters thab morning was closs upon them, ENTERPRISE Mr. Welcker was born in Germany, but has lived in Americs eyer sinco he was 7 years of sge.” His personal 2ppearanco suggested good- natured jollity, proceeding from s well-fed con- dition, angd the consciousness that he had been enabled t0 give satiafaction to & large number of bhis follow men. He accompanied the Soventh New York Regiment {o Washington daring the War, as their catbrer, and, taking pity on the helf-fed citizens, who were in a8 much nced of properly-cooked food as paved streets and habit- able dwollings, he concluded to be &_missionary to our benightod people, and opened s dining- saloon on Pennsylvauis avenue, betwecn Ninth and Teath streets, where his fame was 8o noised abropd that ho was obliged to seek more roomy sccownmodations for his numerous customers, on Fifteenth screet, between New York-avenue and H street, just opposite Wormley's™ celebrated club-house. A 7SS THAT WILL BE FELT. It almest seems as if the st straw had been 1sid on our financiasl camel, and the break must inevitably follow, now ‘that Gorn.

When Mr. Spinner first took charge of lus new .of- fice thers were about s half-dozen clerks and 33 mapy more messengers, while now he has Jjurisdiction over 500 employes. Na otherofficial in or out of the Cabinet nas devoted more timo to his duties, has been more honest aod trust- worthy in his dealings, more feerlessin standing up for the righ, or placing his foot crushingly ou the wrong, ond none more tendered-hearted and generous, than this savage-looking, shrewd- faced old mao of 74 years, who, liks+3oses of old, still walks erect, with eyes uudimmed and natural strength ated. His head -is large and well-deve while the baldneas on top i3 tenderly fringed around with white hair, still clingiog to the associations of the past. His oyes are keen, and, at first, seem to psar at cme in » belligerent, unkindly manner, but his hand is 28 open ns dey to melting oharity, 28 the appli- cant will find if misfortane sends him to the old Goneral. 3 A CONNOIBSBUE. Besides devoting 80 much time to the require- ments_of the Goveroment, BMr, Spinner hss found leisure encugh in which to cultivate the esthetica. His roows are marvels of exquisite taste in their arrangement, and ferneries, and Tmosses, and flowers, and leaves, make his apart- ments perfect bowers of beauty. His fingers, canning and dexterous in handiing the nation’s precious millions, bave also arranged, with in- finite patience and skill, - the flora of our coun- try, and hove gathered the very stoues into methodical order with the precision of a geolo- giet. Besutiful statuettes, protty paintings, and varions articles of verfu demonstrate thatn man of and statistics, .one who daily has to deal with tho “facts™ of & Gradgrind, or the **Hard;Cash ” of o Reade, can still find time to hear the * sermons™ preached by ** stones,” and cnltivate tastes for all that is beautiful and artis- tic in life. Mr. Spinner owns some kind of a water-craft, which be uses in warm weather fo talie him to the pretiy islandsdown the Potomac, and frequently aska his tired employes to ac- compauy himin hunting for fresh breczes aud lovely scenery. A TOUCH OF BOMANCE. Gen. Spinner is of German parentsge, al- though bora in New York, and although he is the last person whom, to look at, would suggest anythiog romantic, yet there hovers over his early childbood and around his parents’ career a very charming httle love story. His father stadied for the priesthood, and entered a monas- tery with the determination to bid ferewell to the warld, the flesh, snd his Satsnio Majesty. Bat the trustfal blue eyes of & German M looked up bewitchingly at him, between each pater nosler, until his besds wera forgotten, snd glimpses of golden hair aod Slarguerite Jfairness . occupied the hours apportioned out for penance and mortification of spirit. It ‘turped out as such affaws almost always do,—eartbly love conquesed the spiritual vows of the devotee, aad, to escape the maledictions and perseoation of his brotherhood, e married his charmer and escaped to America, that blessed land of the free and bome for such wandeters. And Francis E. Spinner was' the eldest born of this love-marrisge, GOBSIP. Last week Mrs. Grant gave an elegant dincer party to hlr. and Mrs. Sartons, inviting only the youthfal beay monde to attend. Next week the Postmaster-General gives a party to tho same young couple, previous to their return to En- gland. To-day ia the last reception st the Jow- ell's, mach to the regret of those who bave at- . tonded their pleasant gatheringa throughont the winter.

Miss Richardson issa thorough horsewomsa, and sits an animal wonderfully well. Nothiog is more exhulirating than a good gallop into the country these fine daye, and no sight is more charming than & party of youthfal oquestrisns.

The meeting of the Eclectic Reading Club at the residence of Mr. Charles E. Browne Monday evening was largely attended, and very salis- factory in ita resalts. Every one who enters Ar. Browne's new mansion, “ Prairie Side,” is forced to remark on the elegance of the houso and its forniture and at the ssme time the homelike air which pervades the house from gerret to cellar. The house was evi- dently not built for show but for solid comfort, and the beat part of the whole is that Mr. and Mrs. Browne are inclined to be extremely hospitable. Tho exercises Mon- day evening wers literary, musical, and social ; the literary consisting of a selection from an old Scribner’s on tho perplexities of a newly married couple who were the recipients of overmuch sttontion from an anti- quated uncle, resd by Judge J. B, Adams, and also of s reading by W. 8. L. Slay- maker. Tho musical part of the programme wag done by Mrs. N. G. Iglehart in solos, both vocal and instrumen to the enjoyment of all present. Among those who participated in tho Bocial exercises were Messra. C. J. Gilbert and wife, William Blanchard, J. S. Page and wife, W. Woodward and wife, Prof. Ambrose, Mrs. C. H. Dutton, Mrs. W. C.

Thursday evening a large corapacy gathered in tho parlors of the Methodist Churcb, ostensibly for a mociable of the church, bat the occasion proved anything but social, for 1t degenerated into & spelling-match. Church sociables are supposed to be for social intercourse, to promots a friendly fooling among the members of the congrogation, and intzodncinf; strangera; but, when the time is completely consumed in exasminations of the comparative merits of those present in ortohgraphy, it is iypossible to bo very social, and the stran- gers can sit outside the circle and &es the per- formance, or 1f, perchanco thoy are invited, may join in tho aflray. Bpelling is a good thing, and 0 are the Lrials of nrthoimphi skill, bat. ss & feature of church sociables and promoters of gociability, they are both decided failures. Capt. W. N. Brainard and W. 8.

F. V.’S. o the Editor of THE Clicago Tribune: Cmicago, March 81.—Two or three recent books on American pedigrees suggest unpleasant questisos to the old families of the Old Domin- ion. Theyare proudof their blood, but it ap- pears from these volumes that a large proportion of their ancestors settled in Virginia petforce. on account of undue fordness for other people’s blood in England. For aseries of years the tMother of Presidents” was supplied with mothers and fathers in the shape of criminals transported from Britain. Sir Josiah Child, who is accepted by the Saturday Review 88 an author- ity, wrote in 1698: ‘¢ Virginia and Barbadoes were first peopled with 8 sort of coarse vagrant ‘people, vicious and destitnte of means st home.” Another author, whose writings are, however, disfigared by an evident bias against the Bouth, naaserts that Edinburg rid herself of the persons whom Carlyle ulwaye refers toin capitals as Unfortunate Females, by ehipping them to Jamestown. He says sgain: ‘Earlyin 1620, the first large installment of vagabonds and des- titute persons arrived in Virgioia, and yearly their numbers increased.” A contemporary En- glish poet expressed the wish that Jove ‘Would move King James, once more, to store that clime s With the Moll Cutpurses of our bad time. The poet probably wrote, however, of all America. It 18 certain that transportation of criminals from Englaod to Virginia sud other Colonies continued until the outbrea's of the Revolution. TUp to that time, comparatively few nogroes had been imported, and the demsnd for Inbor was so great that the plauters along tho Jomes River were glad' to get nnywn of help. ‘Whea King James informod the Virginian Com- pany ‘‘#hat Lie wished divers dissolute persons transported,” thc Company replied “thst it would be very acceptable to the.colonists to re- ceive them assorvants.” The planters com- plained sometimes, nevertheless. Franklin took one protest agaiost the practice to England. It seems to have been the custom to ship men on - saspicion, ‘withont taking the troubls to try them. James I. sent 2 man “euspected of deer-stealing ” to Virginia. 1f this punishment of this particalar offense had been in vogue earlier, we might havs received and kept Shakspearo! Then the F. F.V.s mightelaim that in_their voins the blood of Anne Hutheway and Pocahontas rau together. Perbaps they would have preferred, however, to omit Mrs. Shakspeare, and hang William, solita- ry and wifeless, from o braoch of the family tree. A third suthor malkes & 8ad hole 1n the repata- tion of ¥r. John Pocahontas Rolfe. He shows that he came to Virginis in 1610 with a white wite, by whom he hsd a child after_his errival. In 1614 he married the Indisn Princoss, be- causa he was ‘comstrsined by the love of Chbrist,” and thonght the union would ba ‘“for the good and honor of tha Plantstion.” Pocahontas died in Epgland in 1617, sod in 1622 Rolfe died thers, leaviog a white wife and children, besides the danghter of Pocahontas. The dates makg it possible thai he had three wives in succossion’; but it “is proba~ ble that he had two. white’ and copper-colorad, ot the same time, The colonists had a habit of contracting such bigamous marriages. ~Sir Thomas Dale, who is described as the * relicions and valiant Governor” of Varginia, proposed to, a sister of Pocahontas when he had a Wife in England. He seems, however, to bave got the moceagin,—if that be tho Powhatianese oquiva- lent of the mitten. The early Iaws of Virginia make it probable that the magistrates had o hard lot to deal with. 1t was a time of legal severity. but the Virginian codo of 1613 goes besond auything else of that time. The unfortunate colonist who neglected to report his religious 'state to a clergyman, immediately upon_tarival, was whipped every day until he hesitated no longer. A thmvlmz washerwoman was publicly whipped ; from which wo infer that shirts were scarce then, and corre- spondingly valuable. A man expects to pay tithes to his washerwoman nowsdays. A baker who sold short weight bad his savered ears thrown into the balance to make up tha required avoirdupois. If a maan blssphemed once or awore ‘thrice, ho was pat to death. If he failed to pry proper respect to a olorgyman, he was publicly whipped, and had to ask pardon in the chareh for three succesaive Sundays. Non- attendance at church and catechism-class on Sunday was punished, for the firet offenss, by the loss of s week's provisions, then by whip- ping, and than by deatls. An obstioate infidel, who landed in Virginia son’Saturday, would, by these laws, be whipped twenty-three times in three weeks, wonld be starved for one week, and wonld bo executed on the third Monday after his arrival. There must have been a wonderful de- volopment of ‘piety and hypocrisy under such & system. In this backward age a pure-minded raecutor has to use Presbytories instead of pil- ories, and. priscns. and whipping-posts, aod seaffolds, in order td bring wan ack to the religion of peacs 2ud love, - A fourth suthor, Mr. John Camden Hotten, has published, from the British state ;lnem. a book which has as part of its titla: *TThe orig- inal st of persons of quality, emigrants, relig- ious exiles. political rebels, serving-men sold for a term of years, apprentices, children stolen, maidens pressed, and others who went from Great Brifain to the American plantations, 1600~ 1700.” We advise the surviving F. . V.'s to se- lect their ancestors from the *‘ persons of quali-| ty,” and get out patents oo them as soon a8 pos- gible. If thev neglect this precaation, they msy find themselves forced to choose their fore- fathers from an unsavory lot of *‘serving-men gold for a torm of years,” * aporentices,” and ¢ maidens prossed.” NEw ENGLAXD. —_————— .
