Bpectal Dispatch to The Tribune. Wasmrxcrtox. D. C., July 5.—An amusing in cident occurred at the State Department Thars- day. That Department isa high-toned estab- lishment. On Thursday two gentlemen and three ladies entered the Passport Bureau. The clerk witha haughty air bade the visitors to take seats, The mandate was obeyed. After a pause the clerk asked if they wanted passports. One of the gentlemen, with more courage than his companion, responded that bis frends did. ‘The clerk then sharply scrutinized the visitors, and said that he did not know them, and he shonld require the guarantce of some reputable person as to their ood character. . ‘I vouch for this gentleman and these ladies,” modestly said the spokesman of ‘the party. ‘‘And who are you?” demanded the clerk imperiously. “My ] name is David M. Ker,” was the reply. It is needicss to add that the Postmaster-General and his friends were immediately overwhelmed with obsequions attentions. EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. From reports made to the Treasury Depart- ment, it appears that duribg the last five months the increase in the uational resources in the matter of excess of exports amounted to $108,000,000. At this rate the. excess for the year would be abont $260,000,000. From these facts the inference is made that for the fiscal year the returns will be substantially as follows: Domestic exports, $698,600,000; for- eign exports, $12,400,000; total exports, $711,- 000,000: imports, $441,800,000; excess of ex- ports over importa, $269,200,000. With every prospect of extraordinary crops in this country ‘and of short.crops abroad, it may fairly be said that the excess for the last half of the year 1878 will prebably be larger than the excess for the first half of the year. . DIED. W. McL. Boynton, brother of Gen. Henry V. Boynton, correspondent ot the Cincinuati Ga- zette, and Charles Boynton, New York Agent of the Western Associated Press, died here this morning after a lingering malarisl illness. Mr. Boynton began to fail six months ago, since which time be has been compelled to relinquish journalistic pursuits. He was greatly esteemed by all who knew him. DULLNESS. 7 To-day was another dies pon in Governmental life. It had not been expected that any Gor- ernment business would be transacted untii Monday. Tnat expectation wss realized. From the great Treasury Department no mail was “dispatched. The Departmental machinery will not have returned to its normal condition until next week. The chief exception to the cessa- tion of work.was in the ofdices of the Treasurer and Register, where, owing to the vast amount of labor connected with the exchange and re- demption of bonds, clerks are required to do double duty. BAYARD. The Democratic opponents of Senator Bayard have formed the plan of increasing the Finance Committee next winter by two, so that it would not be possible for Bayard to form any combi- nation with the Republicans. This preceution, however, is unnecessary, as the Kepublicans were united only in opposition to the Warner bili and like measures, for the reason that it was not thought to he Pele. 13s pases. before the Obio, Zio haien. Next winter some of {yeuRepablican Senators on the . Finance of action on the Warner, Dill, but will insist Bpon disposing of it. onto. Ex-Congressman Sonthard, of Ohio, arrived here this morning from Columbus. . Mr. South- ard says that both parties are very confident of guccess in October. He thinks that a large vote will be polled, as there isa general conviction that the coming campaign is closely connected with the Presidency. REMOVALS DEMANDED. ‘There are reports that ell. the Democrats in the Departments, and there.are » good many of them, are to be removed. . Members of the He- publican Congressional Campaign Committee ere certaiuly anxious that it should be done, and there ate indications that it will be in some of the Departments. The argument made in favor of it is that the present attitude of the Democratic party towards the Republicans and the Administration warrauts the restoration of the Democratic principle that to the victors be- Jong the spoils. SENATOR THURMAN is still somewhat feeble by reason of the indis- position from which he bas been euffering. He thas concladed to try the effects of a short sca- trip, and will sail from Bsitimore for Boston on Monday next. a THE WEATHER, Orrick or THs CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, Wasnrixerox, D.

Toronto, July 5.—At a special meeting of the shareholders of the Dominion Telegraph Company, the proposals of the American West- ern Union Company for a lease of the Canadian Company’s lines, und, in fact, fur taking over its-busiuess, were considered and unanimously approyed. The American Company teases the lines from the Ist of July for a period of ninety- nine years, at @ rental of $53,500, payable quar- terly in advance. It has, morcover, talen the balance of the unissted stock of the Dominion Company, amounting to $289,000, at the rate of 8U per cent: ‘The payments in _botn cases have been made by the American Company. That Company guarantees the payment of interest at the rate of 6 per cént on bonds held by cred- itors to the aum of $300,000. It further gu: antees payment of adividend at the rate of 5 per cent upon the stock of the Dominion Com- pany, and allows $2,500 per annum for the ex- penses of the local. directorate. The general opinion of the meeting was, that the provisions of, the arrangement were exceedingly liberal, and that, while it enabled the Dominion Com- pany to extinguish its liabilities, a steady re~ turn of 5 percent on the shares was secured. At was also stipulated ‘that, in case the American Company mado -any -arrangement for pooling the receipts with any other telegraph company in Canada, the payment-is to be $10,000 a year more. Tne lessees of the lines are bound to keep them in ood: repair; and, if they are in default for rent for thirty days, the Dominion Company regains possession of the:lines. , The Globe says: There seems to be no doubt of-the fact that Vanderbilt has compelled the Great Western Railway to abandon their scheme of uniting with the Wabash line, and making Detroit their. headauarters, It is probably by some threat of crippling the Great Western at its Eastern terminus, or of using the Canada Southern to. the injury of the Great Western, that the ‘bulldozing’ has-been accomplished.

Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune, Lonvon, July 6.—The tempest in a tea-pot about the Sixty-ninth semi-Fenian Regiment coming over from New York to Montreal was the means of causing “the Dominion Govern- ment to recall its permission to the Sixty-ninth and the Detroit Light Guards to enter Canadian territory with arms in their bands. But the Detroit Light: Guards ‘stole a march on the Government. They had been invited to Chatham on the Ist of July, and to Chatham they went. The little international complica- tion about Janding with’ arms was shrewdly evaded. by the Guardsleaving their rifles aboard the boat and marching ashore without them. ‘Then a squad of Chathamites mounted the deck ‘and brought the guns ashore, placing each in the hands of its owner.

There is a somewhat’ more cheerful spirit among business men‘ generally, caused princivally by the prospects of a bountizul har- vest, which, after the bard times, may be cx- spected to'be follwed by a Iairly active renewal of business.

An Interview with M. De Lesseps. .. By Gabie to New York Herald. Panis, July 5.—M. De Lesseps has just signed the treaty, giving him the concession of the Isthmus granted by the United States of Colombia: : Matters are now to be pushed with the greatest activity. A- new company-will be immediately constituted -with a capital-of 400,000,000 francs. 3 oo hy, In along conversation, M. De Lesseps this afternoon repudiated all-intervention on the part of the Governments. . Were such intended, he said that he fully recornized the truth of the statement that the United States was en- titled. to exercise: a large’ and important influence in-the manazement-of the canal. He declared ‘that the enterprise had no character of special nationality, but is a private specula- tion. Though -universul in its utility, Paris is silently accepted as the centre of opera- tions merely because the French laws are severe and offer greater security to sbarcholders on account of the greater control over the admin- istrators. of the. funds. -M. De. Lesseps remarked during the- interview that he reposes to offer Gen. Grant the position ot onorary President of the Company. Le Soir to-night announces that M. de Lesseps will not start ior America till the end.of the year. ; "MRS: LANGTRY. Prospects that -She -Will Visit. This Coun- try—The Curlosity to See Hor as Great as Ever in London—Photographs of Her in Profasion—Other Phases of Public Admi- ration, Z _ Correspondence New York Tribune: Lonpow, June 20.—There is a report—1 really cannot say at this moment ‘whether: well or ill tounded—that Mrs, Langtry is going to Amer- ica in the automa, if it be true, then’ you will be--able- to - test: for yourself the English standard of beauty. For Mrs. Langtry, though subjected during two sea- sons to the severest competition, remains the- acknowledged. queen among those ladies’ to whom soclety pays homage for their good looks. She is. still at the head of the protessional beauties, as people choose to call them. The name is misicading and has'an odious sound. but it is convenient and has passed into general use. Lt must not. be understood as conveving any reproach whatever. It is to be said of Mrs. Langtry—but for the word professional it would not require saying—that her name has been, for two years or more, on everybody's lips and in every gossiping paper, without being associated with any scandal, This is true, absolutely true, although it was the Prince of Wales who first took note of her attractions, and who first brought her intu notice and made her the most famous woman in London. ei I don’t seruple to write thus freely about a Indy whose life is, in the proper sense of the word, passed wholly in private society. I don’t scruole, I say, because she has herself borne ‘a great deal of. publicity without objection; and even With some appearance of liking the celeb- rity to which she bas ‘been exposed. . For that matter, I have seen her name often enough in American papers, and if she goes to tne United States she will be sure to find that her fame has preceded her. Nor dovs Mr. Langtry seem to dislike the'renown which connects itself with his Wife’s beauty. The renown has long since spread all over. the United Kingdom, ‘I heard striking proof of it last summer. I bad been staying at a country-house in Scotland, and on my way to another part of the Scottish world ‘was passing through Inverness. Mrs. Langtry bad been there the day beforé,; Inyerness is. pretty wellin the extreme north of Scotland, and is its last. considerable.towa; in that direc- tion. A friedd whom 1 met, .at-the hotel told me then that Mrs, Langtiy’s arrival had been anyounced in‘ilie local paper, und that she had been met at the railway-siation by a great com- pany of curious spectators. She bad yentured into the streets a little later, and had been mobbed “in true London fashion. A crowd followed “her wherever she went.. She made the. journey next ,Gay down the Caledonian Canal; and had been mobbed .in the boat. She had stopped,.as most people do, to see the Falls of Towers,—it -I rec- allect the name rightlr,—and bad been. followed ty ‘a multitude up the steep patn which leads to them. 1 stopped there myself a day later, and the beggars who fine the road had still some- thing.to say of Mrs. Langtry. On the steam- boat itself, passengers appeared to, have spent their whole time in adoration before the Lang- try sbriné—to.the utter neglect of the wonder- ful scenery through which the steamboat pass- es for nearly the whole length of the canal. In London itself, long as Mrs. Langtry’s‘reien has lasted, the curiosity to see her has -never subsided. -The’ occasions for eratifying it are, nevertheless, many. You may see her riding in the Row from 12 to 2.in the morning; réemarka- ble alwars for the faultless fitting of her babit and for the throng of cavaliers about her. If not riding, she may be met walking in the promenade by the side of the Row. Later in the day you may see’ her at a flower-show, a picture-exhibition, or a bazar. Her services are in ‘request for charitable purposes; and the * stall: over which. she presides is a-fountain of -wealth’-to the poor. At the last’ performance of this kind, held in the Duke of Wellington’s Riding-School, she appeared as a flower girl, aud flowers from ber hand fetched fabulous prices. If you liked, she would herself put. them into your button-hole; but that was a boon for which you. paid still more dearly. I¢ was darkly hinted that onc elderly ornament of the social world enbanced the profits of this particular. charity by the sale of introductions (good for five seconds) to Mrs. Langtry. But this is probably no more true than that the. Church of Rome in former eges so!d indulgences. ‘And.yet there haye been eye- witnesses to both, and the price was koown, and even the names of those who paid for the privilege. Ifit bea Sunday you have a chance of finding her in the afternoon at the Zoolos- ical Gardens. From 5 to 7 it is possible to con- template her in a carnage, slowly advancing along the drive from Hyde Park Coruer to the Albert Memorial. If all” these fail you. there are still the stationers’ and photographers’ win- dows, where victures of Mrs. Langtry in every conceivable costume nd ‘attitude abound. I dare say some of them may be had in New York. Mrs. Langtry with a quill thrust through her*hat; Mrs. Langtry with a dove in her: hand which she'is tenderly rerard- ing,—not, it is to be supposed, as a reminiscence of Hurlingham; Mrs. Langtry in morning custume and again in evening dress; Mrs. Langtry with a Japanese umbrella over her right shoulder, and another yet still the same Mrs. Langtry witha Japanese umbreYa over her eft shoulder; Mrs. Langtry in protile, Mrs. Langtry’s full: face, or-three-quarters should you prefer that, and either colored or plain; Mrs. Langtry in_a conservatory framed in trop- ical plants, or Mrs. Langtry on the seashore listening to the plaintive murmur of the waves, —among these aud a dozen more you ‘have only to choose. a The photographic exhibition, I may say, has gone to great lengths. Mrs. Langtry is far from being the only beauty whose fame has been extended by such means. Alt her rivais are to be seen in black and white, and many who are not her rivals. Mra. Cornwallis West, Mrs. Hungerford, Mrs, Wheeler, Lady Jersey, Lady Dudley, Lady Lonsdale, are all there. In one window tot lone since { connted twenty- nine photographs of different ladies, all of them belonging. to society,- all ladies of fashion or ravk, or both. Of Mrs. Lanetry alona there were thirteen different photographs in this same window, but {£ reckun the thirteen os only. one in making up the twenty-nine, nor did include “any of. the Royal family.~ There have always been portraits of the Queen, of the Princess of Wales, of the other Princesses, and that eeemed only a natural ‘alimenot for British loyalty. The Royal family have a kind of pub- lic character; they are part of the Cunstitution, and among the supports’ of the realm. Those who are on or about the throne have in all coun- tries shown a readiness to permit the vulgar to gazeupon their features, whether in life or in likeness.: But with euch iadies as I have been paming it is different... I don’t know whether it is more or less different in such cases as that of the..Duchess: of Westminster, a lady not of Royal blood, andiio mature life. Her photograph ‘was among the twenty-nine. In last year’s exnibition of the Rovat Acad- emy, Mrs. Langtry beld anot less brilliant po- sition. In that single exhibition there were three -elaborate portraits of this lady, Mr. Weigall had painted her; so had Mr.’ Poynter; ‘and she was the original of Mr. Millais’ charming “ Lily of Jersey.” Mr. Poynter's picture has. since been engraved, and -impressivns of. it may be had in the print-shops. It isa work of art, but ‘only a moderately-good likeness. She is re- ported to bave.sat.this year to Mr. Poynter for one of the maidens in bis large canvas of Nau- sicaa aod ber. companions playing at ball. But neither-here is the resemblance striking, and the costume of the figure in question-quite for- bids the supposition that Mrs.. Langtry could have posed for.much more’ than“ the head and face, if she did for so.much as that. ey In all this long. account Lbaye said not a word, as you will perceive, of Mrs. Langtry, ex- cept in the purely pudlic character and func- as taxes existed in bis day.” The personal, tion which she either assumes or permits others to impose upon her. { have:drawn upou no knowledge J may have acquired within any four walls where the sanctity of. private life r once was—presumed to be enshrined. Nor do I mean to duso. But I may mention that I once met this wonderful creature at a breakfast which had so much of a non-private character, that my host assured me_I was quite at liberty to say anything I liked about anybody who was there.” He assured me further that no com- pliments to Mrs. Langtry’s charms would be ill received, and-he or somebody else added that it was a safe, if not an indispensable, topic of con-. versation with Mrs. Langtry herself. Having a permission 80 wide..as this, 1 may perhaps re- mark that Mrs. Langtry’s beauty by daylight is at least equal to ber beauty as sceu in the glare of. wax lights.. What you will say of her in- America { can’t predict, but it is certain that one secret’ of her ‘attractiveness in “England may be found in the extreme delicacy of ber loveliness. Traveling ‘Britons say that this delicacy ig more common in the United States than here.- Mrs. Langtry’s .complexion has stood the wear and tear of London life, and late hours, and .overbeated rooms, and. the peach-bloom on ber cheeks does not fade, nor will it rub off. She once offered her pandker- chief toa gentleman who was skeptical on this point, and asked him tu try.- The modeling of the temples is singularly fine, the arch of the brow delicate; ‘the (eyes. aro’ sappbire- blue, set in an orb of tender. curve; the hair, which is soft brown. is worn low enough over the forchead to mark. the contrast of color with the ¢yes; and whtn this lady is amused. her laugh- ter gives an animation to her countenance that is sometimes wanting. Tne face has ‘faults which it is easy-to criticise, but the beauty .of it as a whole 18 beyond denial. It is of some one of her portraits that 1 ought to.say all this, but the original is so much superior to the portraits, andso much mure constantly on exhibition, that it seemed more convenient to speak of that.. For the: liberty I take—not belng:a photographer—I offer the hamblest excuses. DINNERS. - ‘Historie Bills of Fare, : Pall Malt Gazette.

NAPOLEON AND EUGENIE. The Story of Their First Meeting and Mar- riage. Few York Herald, A few nights before the coup d’ctat President Louis Napoleon gave a grand ball st the Elysee. The wealth and fashion of Paris were represent- edthere. Perfume of flowers and strains of sweet music filled the air. Magnificent as the scene was the President tired of it, and longed tobe out under the calmer light of the stars, so taking hié friend Edgar Ney, the Duke of La Moskwa, by the arm, he started out through the conservatory for the cool gardens. As he stepped throgeb the doorway a picture met bis gaze that almost took away his breath, and fora moment he stood as one ina dream. Ipwas not long, however, before he saw that the beautifal vision was reality. Standing be-, fore.a mirror in the conservatory was the most exquisite creature he had ever seen in nis life. Ayoung lady whose golden hair bad fallen from its confining comb down over ner-white shoulders, . was trying to arrange tho truant curls with nervous flingers. ‘he gal~ lantry of a Frenchman would not permit him to stand staring in the doorway even at 0 beau- tiful 2 sieht, so, stepping quickly to herside, the future Emperor, with a courtly bow, offered his arm to his future bride and conducted her to a dressing-room, where she could repair the ray- ages of the dance. It was a case of love’ at first sight, and the ardent Napoleon hastened back to the bali-room, where he awaited with. impatience the return of the beautiful Es- pagnole. Nor‘did ‘bis regard for Mile. da Muntijo orove transitory.
