Stehhouse, of Salt Lake City, accompanied by her husband, (lately @ prominent pillar in the Mormon Church,) arrived at the Ebbitt House this morning. This well-informed lady lectures on “ Polygamy in Utah” at Lincoln’ Hall, on Thursday evening.

The chairs and ottemans are of such fine embroidery that they resemble exquisite paintings. Each is set in a gt frame, so that the effect is extremely brilliant. There are mirrors with gilt frames inlaid with mosaics, an ebony cabinet with panels inlaid with mosaic which is three hundred years old, and Gobelin tapestry hangings that are marvelous in work- ship. Mrs. Stewart and family are cer- ly charming additions to society, and here- after, when recalling the names of those to whom we are indebted for pleasure, they will be remembered among the foremost. —Colonel and Mrs, Audenreid have shown how one can entertain elegantly even without a house of one’s own, The Johnson house, as that grime of the Arlington hotel is called, Klin WEDNRSD A Freneh Clown, eosaged atthe enormons salary The at am LOUISE BLISS, A i, o Meng. = Bennett: te on cians, wy: oka his election to the United States Senate to suc- jercg typed yoga ime a i ak » Ladiew. « a dsworth, c ° mn 7 ». iy J , Is y R Bartlett; to second ciate, Ht % artel, W.

A Jocrxaristic FRACAS.—About 10 o’clock this morning, as Mr. J. M. Morris was walking down 9th street, and when near D street, he was met by Mr. W. H. Harris, a society reporter for the Sunday Capitai,(‘« Brown's Young Man,” )who inquired: «Is your name Morris?” Mr. Morris replied in the affirmative, when Harris gave his own name, and said: “+ Did you write the article which lately appeared in the Chronicle about — It isa pity, while there are so many agree- ME *: 4 BELLE ite : WILL GIVE TWO DRAMATIC LINCOLN HA Evening READINGS AT Miss Rudeness should exist.
