All the ladies who are “at home” Tuesday were receiving. Mra. Franklin Kinney concluded the series of receptions for which she had issued cards, and her large parlors were crowded with a distinguished compaby during the afternoon. General regret was expressed that this was the last of her receptions, for the present at least. Mrs. Ernest Kinney has been unable to appear in society this winter,on account of an injury she received in November, which bas made her temporarily lame. She has, however, so far recovered now as to beable yesterday to come into the parior, and while Testing on @ sola receiv’ her friends. The President's reception drew an over- whelming throng to the Whie House last evening. The avenue in front of the man- sion was filled with carriages and pedes- trians soon after the hour arrived for opening the doors. Within, the crush was very great from 9 p. m, until 10 o'clock, when, the time allotted for the receptioa having expired, the President and Mrs. Grant quietly set the example for retiring. Every one scemed to evjoy the occasion, and it would be difficult to imagine a more animated scene than the Blue Room presented, where, as usual, many of those best known in society were congre- gated. The toilets were even more clegant than are usually seen at these receptions. Mrs. Grant’s apricot silk was garnished with white lace, and was handsome and be- coming. The skirt was long and graceful; the corsage was high. Mrs. Sharpe assisted Paige | the early part of the evening, and Mrs. Fred. Grant arrived later with her hus- band. Marsual Sharpe made the presenta- lions. Mrs. Sha.pe wore steel-grey silk gar- nished with black lace. Mrs. Fred.Grant’s opal-tinted silk, relieved with lily-of-the- valley fringe, was very sty lish becom- ing. Mrs. 4 wore an elezant black Brussels lace skirt and basque over white silk. Mrs. Pierrepont’s Unsod cameo-tinted kill was one of the most elegant toilets’seen. Mrs. Chandler yore one of Worth’s most artistic combination toilets, bronze mavelasse was intermingled with pale blue, richiy em- broidered; the whole was garnished with rare lace. Madame Sant Aron is oneof the most agreeable ladies of the diplomatic corps. She is a tall ful brunette, and wore last evening @ charming tollet. Garnet velvet of rich texture formed the decolefee corsage and court train, the petticoat was twilight blue moire, garnished with white laca. The Jewels worn were en suife, pendant, ear-rings and brooch were com; of rubies, dia- monds, pearls and emeralds, set to appvar as if they had been careless! y scattered over a network of gold. Miss Willing’s toilet of white gaze dle chambery was much admire. Entwited in her dark hair she wore strands of pearls, and the same gems formed her necklace and other ornaments. Mrs. Fish, Miss Fish, Mrs. Robesoa, Madame Mantilla, Madame Dardon, Madame Preston, Miss Scott, Madame Baltazzi, Mrs. Gore Joues, Mrs.Yoshida, Mrs. Ward, the Misses Stewart und Miss Brewer were all tastefally attired. Some of the many others of distinction pres- ent were: The Secretaries of State, War, Navy and Interior, the Attorney General, the Chief J ice and Miss Waite.

BRILLIANT WEDDING.—Over three thou sand persons, including many Washingto:- ians, attended the Cathedral in Baltimor | yesterday morning to witness the nuptials of Mr. Robert Potts, a chief engineer in the United States navy, and Miss Fannie Grif- fiss. The Sun says:—A nuptial high mass was celebrated by Archbishop Bayley, Fathers Curtis, Foley, Starr, Lyman and assist- ing, and the choir rendered some beautiful music. Brussels carpet was laid from the sidewalk to the church vestibule. The groom and his atterdants, all naval officers, were in full uniform, the gentlemen comprisin Samuel T. Brown, Goodwin Hobbs, I. W. H. Sbock, T. H. Looker, E. Wells, Lieut. H.W. ¥.tch,and Wm. Duvall, M. D. The bride and four bridesmaids wore white satin, and presented a brilliant array of loveliness. ANOTHER OF THOSE SMART DOORKEEP- EnS.— Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Levi P. Luckey, privatesecretary to the President, appeared at the main entrance to the hall of the House of Representatives with @ mes- report of the Secretary of State in reply to = — = of the tera me ask- 1g copies of correspondence w! uropean nations in regard to Cuba. He was a! by one of Mr. Fitzhugh’s able-bodied door- keepers with the remark that only “mim- bers of Copgress, Cabinit officers and judges of the Supraime Coort” could be admitted. Mr. Luckey, with that Vantin chee to him, explained the situation of affairs to this strict constructionist, but to no pur- pose. The 8.c. — obdurate, and sug- gested that Mr. Luckey could go around te the lobby and leave his papers with “Spaiker Kerr,” who was in his private room. Mr. Luckey demurred to this arrangement, and Was about sending for Mr. Fitzhugh, when the obdurate door! received some new light from another doorkeeper, who came to the rescue just as Mr. Luckey was about executing @ flank movement. CHESAPEAKE AND OHio CANAL ExTEN- SION.— Ex-Kepresentative Hamiil, chair- man, Mr. J. W. Brown, of West Virginia, Mr. J. W. Pearce, superintendent of the Mi ryland Coal Company, and Messrs. Wart and Grove, of Frostburg, Maryland, the committee appointed at the Barnum’s Hotel meeting in Baltimore, in favor of the exten- sioa of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, were in hss esterday, and had inter- views with the Marviand and West Virginia Congressmen. After consultation it was de- cided that the committee should draw up a memorial to be presented to Congress, ask- ing an appropriation of $100,000 for the ex- tension of the caval from Cumberland to Piedmont, the heart of the canal region. The surveys for this extension have already been made under the direction of Gen. Hum- pbreys, chief of engineers, in accordance with the act of Congress. The appropri of $100,000 would be a preliminary one, The committee proceed from Washin; to An- papolis, where the matter will be before the Maryland legislature.
