NOTES, ~ SOCIETY The published acconnts regarding the President’s movements and his gifts to his children on Christ- Tas were wholly Lacorect. The President did not dine on that day at the White House in company peretary of State. On the contrary, ac- companied by his son and daughter, he took dinner quietiy with Mr. Frelinghuysen’s family, at the esidence of the latter. Equally unfounded was the statement that the President gave to his son a check for $150 and to his ttle daughter a pair of ‘solitaire diamond earrings. To-Cay 1s the eighty-fifth anniversary-of the Dirthday of Mr. William W. Corcoran, and fs being spent by him Quichty, at his own hot Save for his customary visit to the ladies of the Louise Home. Mr. Corcoran’s chief pleasure in these his declining years of a useful, benevolent life, 1s to spend his evenings with members of his family, and now and then an intimate friend or two, and live over again in memory those bygone days when he was young and the friends of his youth were in the hey life, Mr. Corcoran 1s rich in amusing and inte ing anecdote of the prominent 6 people of the District, and the pity 1s that so much of what is rare and well worth telling should be reserved for so Ifinited a circle. It would be a good idea for some one with retentive accurate memory to collect, ‘this charming after-dinner talk and give 1t to the world 1n permanent form. ‘Notwithstanding the unpleasant weather yester- day the reception held by Mrs. and the Mi: Fre- lnghuysen was well attended, the cosy hémelike interior and pleasant manners of the hostess-caus- ing one readlly to forget every disagreeable out of doors. Mrs. Frelinghuysen hag several guests, who ‘occupy all the time they can steal from ‘du- Ues In sight-seeing about the city. Neither Mrs Teller nor Mra.

SKETCHES OF ITS MEMBRES—ITS COMPOSITION FAVOR- ABLE To JUST CONSIDERATION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AND FAIR TREATMENT OF ITS PEOPLE. In the construction of the District committee Speaker Carlisle has manifested his good will to- ward the national capital. He has selected men of ability and of broad and Uberal views. The appointment of Hon. John S. Barbour as chairman i3 eminently satistactory to all classes of the people here. The chief dimculty hitherto en- countered in obtalaing legislation for the District has been that the members of Congress to whom local matters had first to go were looking more to what they supposed would have effect in their re- spective districts than to the interests of the national capital, Every citizen here knows that propositions for the welfare of this elty and for the credit of the whole people have been negatived without regard to local considerations orthe merits of the subject, but solely with the view of making apital in some other part of the country, and It 13 sullarly grati‘ying to the people here to deel that the present House there 1s a committee of able, experlenced und broad-tainded men, who will study all questions coming before them upon the bass of justice and merit. “Mr. Barbour 1s too well known Washington to need elther description or com- mendation. Hes almost acittwen here. iis Dust hess for some years past has connected him so closely with Washington that he 1s looked upon as one of the community. He is pecullarly fitted, by reason of his intimate knowledge of local ques- tions, and, in fact, of everyihing of public Import ance ‘here, for the position to which he bas been appointed’ In him the national capital and the people here residing have a sincere friend, to whom they may appeal with the certainty of a Fespectrul hearing and of due consideration. Mr. Barbour 18 now serving his second term in Congress, and, though there are members of the House’ who have’ served longer than he, none of them have more welght or influence. Col H. L. Muldrow, of Mississtppt, second on the committee, is aman upon whom the District can rely for fatness and justice. He 1s.an industrious investigator of questions coming before him, and, having ‘lived in Washington for the greaver’ part of the past six years, entertains ak for the city and its people. Gen. Shelley, of Alabama, 1s another member of the committee’ who has had'years of experience In Congress. ‘Ile believes that a great nation Likeours Should have its progress and enlightenment fairly reflected in the national capftal, Mr. Sainuel F. Barr, of Pensrlvanta, was an ac- tive and futeltigent member of the District comniit- tee of the last iiouse, and is, therctore, quite Well- known here. “He bolleves in ‘making’ the cepttal a Teflex of the grea: ness and grandeur of the people, and it Js safe to count upon his co-operation In all ‘that promises material Improvement.

THE HOUSE PENSION COMMITTER. ‘The fact that a southern member was mate chairman of the House committee on pensions has been seized upon as a basts for criticism of Speaker Carlisle on the ground that the subject of pensions for Union soldiers ouzht not to have beea placed in southern hands. ‘The truth is that the pensions committee has nothing whatever to do with any- thing appertaining to the late war, as the rules show. ‘ihe House rules provide that everything relating to pensions of the civil war shall go to the committee on invalid Usarerc and that to the committee on pensions shall go all pension matters arising from “the wars of the United States other Uhan the ctvil_war.” Even a leading republican paper of New York city fell into the error of saying ‘that loyal soldiers would have to go for their pen- ‘sions to an ex-rebel.
