ll THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1884—-DOUBLE SHEET Pictures of Three-Quarters of a Century Ago. One of the most interesting beoks of the year | Is “The Correspondence and Diaries of John Wilson Croker.” who was Secretary ot the Ad- amiralty from 1809 to 1830, and one of the found- ers of and a chief contributor to the Quarterly Review. From the volume referred to the fol- lowing extracts are made: HOW WELLINGTON WON ASSAYE.

July 17th—We dined yesterday at Castle- feagh’s with, besides the Embassy, Tallyrend, Fouché, Marshal Gouvion St. Cyr andthe Baron } de Vitrolles, Lord Cathcart, Clanearty stewart and Clive and two ladies, the Princesse de Vaudemont, a fat. ugly old woman, and a Mademoiselle Chasse, er friend, a pretty young one. At so quiet a dinner you may judge there was not much interesting conversation. Bad accordingly i have not often been at a din ger of which I have less to tell. The wonder was to find ourselves at with Fouche,who. tobe sure, looks vers like what one would naturally suppose him fo be—a sly old rogue: but I think he seems to feel a} I did not expect to find him ca shame, for he looks conscious and embarrassed. He ts a man about 5 ft. 7 in. hivh, very thin. with a gray head, cropped and powdered, and a very acute expression of countenance. | Tally- fand, on the other hand. is fattish for a French- feet deformed ce way. His face is not at all expressive, except it be of a kind of drunken stupor; in fact he looks altogether like an old tuddied. lame. village schoolmastér.and his voice is deep and hoarse. at the Congress his most natural employment would be keeping the uruly boysin order. * * * Imust tell you an anecdote of old Tallyrand Murray wanted an autograph to engrave.

JOHNSON AND ADAM SMITH. At Glasgow, Juhnson had a meeting with Bmith, which terminated strangely. John Millar ased to report that Smith, obviously much dis- Composed, came into a party who were playing atcards. The Doctor's appearance suspended the amusement, for as all knew he was to meet Johnson that evening. every one was curious to hear what had passed. Adam Smith. whose temper seemed much ruffled, answered only at Gret: “He isa brute! he is a brute! closer examination it appeared that Dr. Jo son no sooner saw Smith than he bi ward a charge against him for sometiing in his famous letter on the death of Hume. Smith said he had vindicated the trath of the state. ment. “And what did th ay?” was the universal query. “Why d—he said” — said Smith, with the deepest impression of re- sentment, —You li “And what did you reply: said: -You are a ——— re On such terms did these two yreat moralists meet and part, and such was the classic dia- Aogue betwixt them. CARDINAL DE FLEURY. Old Languet, the celebrated Curé of St. Sul- pice, was remarkable and disazreeable for the ‘mportunity with which he solicited subscrip- tone for duishing his church, wiich is not yet finished. One day at supper, where Cardinal de Fleury was, he happened to say that he had seen his Eminence’s portrait at some painter's The old Cardinal, who was stingy in private as Well as econumicai in public expenditure, was glad to raise a laugh at the troublesome old turé, and replied, “I dare swear, then, you asked it (the picture) to subscribe.” “Oh, no, my Lord,” said Languet, ‘it was too like! MADAME DE STAEL. She was ugly, and not of an intellectual ug- Mmess. Her features were course, and the ordi- Bary expression rather vulgar; she had an ugly mouth, and one or two irregular prominent teeth, which perhaps gave her countenance an habitual gaiety. Her eye was full, dark, and expressive; and when she declaimed, which was almost whenever she spoke, sue looked elo- man; his ankles are weak and y's wing could not have uent,‘and one forgot that she w ain. On the whole, she was sinvularly unfeminine, and if In conversation one forgot she was ugly, one forgot also that she was a woman. ROBINSON'S LITTLE MISTAKE. Every one knows the story of a gentleman's asking Lord North who “that frightful woman was?” and his lordship’s answering, that is my wite. The other, to repair his blunder, said I did not mean fer, but that monster next to her “Ob,” said Lord North, “that monster is my daughter.” With this story Frederick Kobin- eon, in his usual absent enthusiastic way, was one day entertaining a lady whom he sat next toatdinner, and lo! the lady was Lady Char- lotte Lindsay—the monster in question. 4 LITTLE caustic. Lady Warrender told me one day that her alilance with Sir George was a crying proof of the falsehood of the proverb ‘that marriages were made in Heaven.” I venturgd, as she had taken a laughing tone about it, to that, on the y. I thought it a strong proof of a providential arrangement, as there would other- wise have been two unhappy couples instead of one. She very good humoredly but I believe the joke was plain trath. LADY HOLLAND. Lady Holland was saying yesterday to her assembled coterie, *‘Why should not Lord Hol- land be Secretary for Foreign Affairs—why not as well as Lord Landsdowne for the Home Devartment?” Little Lord John Russell is said ed to see | honorable or dishcn- | I should suspect that | bird’s wing and dried it with | to have replied, in his quiet way, “Why, they say, Ma’am, that you open all Lord Holland’t | letters. and the Foreign Ministers might nos like dat?” MR. PEPPER. Mr. Pepper, a gentiemau well Known in the Irish sporting world, asked Lord Norbury to | suggest a name for avery fine hunter of his; Lord Norbury, himself a good sportsman, who knew that Mr. Pepper had had a fall or two, advised him to call the horse “Peppercaster!” How He Married Her. From the Chicago Herald Among the arrivals at the Northwestern depot | the other day was a strange looking couple, the man wearing a buffalo-skin coat and the woman a long sack made of the same material, a dress | trimmed with it, and shoes lined with it. He | was perhaps forty years of age, but she did not appear to be more than twenty-five. After | looking around awhile, he confided in a porter, and asked to be shown to a decent hotel, where | he could stop for a tew day “The fact is,” he obse: ‘we are on our wedding and while | am not a bonanza I've zot enough to see this town and I'm going to do it.” er the porter had named over halt dozen hotels and made himseif otherwise agreeable, the traveller insisted on introducing him to w the porter was pre- | sented to Mrs. John Fellows, the proud lus- band said: e. now, Jennie, I told you I'd introd but this is only a bevinning.” ms of wanting to get clung to him.

But when he had shown such ability it was made a relig- ious duty to do so. Perhaps the new witecould not speak any more English than George L.; if she were comely in face and flzure she was pro- vided for by the all embracing Mormon elders, and finally when certain homely cullings were | all that was left of the new importation these | were worked off onthe brethren under the guise of a religious duty. One of the strangest things about it ts the fact that the women are content with the existing stute of affairs. They will argue as loudly for it and in its defense asthe men, thus show power of sup on and fanaticism upon the human mind. I talked with several of the women and found them generaily coutented or claiming to be so. ——— 90 "Vis Ever Thas.

From the New York Mirror. The craze for photographing sections of the bumao form divine has not yet reached New York, but it’s bound tocome. I have been look- ingover an English collection. There were hands—some of them stuck through holes ina dark screen and clasped and raised; others were | taken singly, holding a flower; others, again, ex- hibited the palm in such a way that a fortune- teller could “read the tines.” There were bare feet. If anyone ever saw a bare foot that was pretty on anything but a baby, then they have seen Lizzie Weathersby's (Mrs. Nat Goodwin). She, has a beautiful foot without a blemish, and might be justilied in having her's photographed. But the English Goofs that had been subjected to this process that I saw were something wicked. One. belonging to Lady Gladys Lonsdale, was handsome; but it was as big as the foot of a bill at Christmas. Then the backs that are taken— just simple, plain backs, with moles perhaps, or without; and sections of shoulders and napes of necks, scruils of necks—scrags of neck the mut- ton sellers call '‘m— or an ear, just one detached ear. for that ear is stuck through aslit ina sheet of velvet. ————_____+9-_____ The Fashion: le Coat,” From the New York Queen. * The new colored dress coat may not be an im- mediate success, if success is to be measured by general adoption, But if it is success to have won the favor of the trade, and to have been made by many of our high class houses for pro- minent society men, it isa success now. Pub- lic opinion must favor it before it replaces the older form, and public opinion doesnot mature inaday. It ripens by cali repose. and is only Judge after it ceases to be advocate. Just at present it advocates the biack ‘swallow tail” on the | agro of economy, and its being a good foil to the more artistic and showy toilets of the ladies.

In the district of Tequila only no puique is made from it, becuse there its special virtues enable the same plant to produce the brandy named after the district in which it grows, and which is widely used throughout the country. Tequila | brandy is made by an ancient system dating back tothe days of the Aztecs, which consists in simply roasting the bulbs in a furnace dug in the ground. This gives a sweetish liquor which,when distilled, yields the tavorite intoxi- cant. It is said that one can get “deader” drunk, and remain so longer, on @ emailer quantity of tequila than any other known liquid, although it is as colorless as water and almost as taste- less. But the principal maguey-product is pul- que, of which it is estimated that the city of Mexico alone consumes over 250,000 pints daily! Next to pulqne and tequila, the mazuey can be made to yield an excellent quality of molasses by clarifying the sweet decoction of the bulb. When distiiled it produces brandy, but undis- tilled, molasses, superior to that pressed trom sugar-cane. pointe One of Maryland’s Men, From the Philadelphia News. Talking of Maryland men, the most conspicu- ous at this moment is the new president of the Baltimore and Ohio. Mr. Robert Garrett, or “Bob” Garrett, as he is familiarly called at home, is & gentleman whose appearance gives little indication of his real character. He is rather short in stature and very thick-set. His open, smiling countenance gives you the im- pression that he is what the world calls a good fellow, while his bushy mutton-chop whiskers and rather careful dress suggest a well-to-do Englishman. He and his brother Harrison, whose attention is now given chiefly to the affairs of their banking house—Robert Garrett & Sons—ere graduates of Princeton, and in their younger days were pretty lively boys. At first it was thought that Harry possessed the most business talent, and was destined to suc- ceed his distinguished father in the mani ment of his immense property; but when Bob fairly settled down to work he develo) an aptitude for it, as well as a power of continuous application, that astonished even his intimates. Naturally more liberal as well as enterprising than his father, I predict that he will inaugo- rate many improvements in the handling of his lines, and that upon the completion of his New York connectiom he will I ly it the volume of traffic. Personally, Mr. is very much liked. His wife is the daughter of the distinguished Baltimore lawyer, Wi! F. Frick, and they are.the center of 3 most charm- ing society. Recently Mr. Garrett razed to the ground his palatial house on Mt. Vernon place, and, having purchased an adjoining yperty, is now erecting what [ suppose the most els vate residence in Baltimore's most quarter.
