This standing is what uses so many up in @ short time, and it makes one feel ali the while as if on the eve of departare, and so that in conversation one must not attempt anything more than surface remarks, when, perhaps, there is something so suggestive that if there was only time a good story m| Ob! yes, there is much that is ining lost inthe giddy whirl constitutes Suppose the season commenced mbling of Congress, and there was number of entertainm : : the season. these receptions mind and body are attuned and in harmony with the scene, it becomes only @ weary repet instead of a fresh pleasure. What is the nt of entertaining? Manifestly to give pleasure to fricuds, fe this object attained if your friends, as well as yourself, have half a dozen invitations for eyery evening, and how- ever willing the spirit may be lesh refuses to undergo the strain. Why not reserve some ot the parties until after Easter? This ix a long session of Congress, and spring parties are de- lightful; and then the rest daring lent would so reeuperate exhausted cnergics that it wou'd be like having a new set of people instead of the spiritless set that will be seen by the 1ith 01 ebruary. — Mrs. Baxter, Mre.

On the contrary, it seems to 2cee with her, for she looks in robu-t health, Mrs. Baxter is one those ladies of whom it may be said that she is universally loved. Miss Sargent is a sweet but delicate looking girl. Her mother is a lady of great vi- Yacity aud sprightliness in conversation.

Much of the evening was spent in the examination of Gen. Chipman’s large collection of antique royal portraits by Hart, Goodall Levy, Dougherty and other distinguished ar. tists; but for those otherwise inclined ample pro vision was made, including a most elegant re- past, and a discharge of ical fireworks by father Gobright. +» bY the way, if he keepe on getting off his witty speeches, droll stories, comic songs, and post-prandial poetry, will soon come to be known as the “ antocrat of the sup- per table.” And then we shall lose him.

The party, which included » number of Gistinguis! ed persons, was treated te an @ssay on mee by Prof. Patch, and to music by Mr. and Mrs. Fairlamb and others, and the evening was pronounced a most agreeable one. This, however, is but an old story, as the same thing is invariably said of all the King eve nings. Editor Star:—From all quarters seem to come evidences that the new plan of ‘Civil Service Reform” fails to secuy the popular approbation necessary to its success. The debate a couple of days since in the Senate was but an expression there, of the nearly unanimous verdict of cits and country. among the press, and a departmentsthemselves. The illustrated papery have taken it up, and made it the subject o some of their droliest pictures. It is the opinion of sirewd judges, who have had long experience here in the departments and in official life, that there can be no plat devised which will be better than the existing one, if judiciously administered. We are not sure but this last point gives the bint of the rea: trouble. As to political parties, they mus? exist in the United States. Patronage inevitably tol- lows.

Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Summer objected to portponing the regular order, and thought that the courtesy of the Senate should allow the Sen ator from Kentucky to proceed informally. Mr. Conkling did not wish to rest under any imputation of discourtesy, for he held that thi: revolution was of such a nature that no question of courtesy was involved in it.
