The following questions have been selected for this week: 1. A lady wishes togtre her little daughters birth- day party. How should the invitation read? 2 Should it be sent by mail? 1.

No. You could not properly have offered to shake hands with the ; the initiative should have come from her. Will you kindly state the proper thing todo in the following case ecg! od she isnot at home. Would it be for her to write bins » note aig when she will be at home? ‘T Dewlected to state that they knew of each other through tneir triende. it would not be for a young lady to address a note to eatloan under such cir- cumstances. Rules, no doubt, are as often dis- regarded as they are observed, but according to the canons of those fastidious people who give laws to the social world, a young lady can, under no circumstances, ad with a young gentleman, unless he is very intimate with the family, and the Cong oops is con- ducted with the knowledge of young lady's mother. 1.

RICHMOND’S BREAD RIOT. Jefferson Davis Describes a Wartime Incident. Beanvoir Letter to the Richinona Dispetch. On the day of the riot (April 2, 1863,) Mr. Davis said, he received word while in his offiée in Richmond that a serious disturbance, which the mayor and Governor Letcher with the state forces under his command were entirely unable to repress, was in progress on the streets. He quickly proceeded to the scene of trouble in the lower portion of the city, whither the venerable mayor had preceded him. He found a large crowd on Main street, although the mass of the rioters were congregated on one of the side streets leading into that thoroughfare. They were headed by a tall, daring, Amazonian-looking woman, who had a white feather standing erect from her hat, and who was evidently directing the movements of the plunderers, @ main avenue was blocked byadray from which the horses had been taken, and which had been hauled across the Pose ir it was particularly noticeable that though the mob claimed that they were starv- ing and wanted they had not confined their operations to food supplies, but had passed by, without any effort to attack, several provision stores and bakeries, while they had completely gutted one jeweiry store and had also “looted” some millinery and clothing shops in the vicinity. At the confederate armory in Richmond were engaged s number of armorers and artisans enrolled by Gen. Gorgas, chief of ordnance, to work especially for the government. These men had been organized into a military com- iy under the command of a captain, whose | votes was that of a trained, sturdy soldier, accustomed to obey orders, and ready to do his duty unflinchingly, no matter what it might be. This company had been promptly ordered to the scene of riot and arrived shortly after Mr. Davi Mr. Davis mounted the dray mentioned and made a brief address to the formidable crowd of both sexes, urging them to abstain from their lawless acts. He reminded them of how they had taken jewelry and finery instead of supplying themselves with the bread, for the lack oi which they claimed they were suffering. He concluded by sayin ou 7 yes ae hungry and have no money. Here is all I have; itis not much, but take it,” He then, empty- ing his pockets, threw all the money they con- tained among the mob, after which he took out his watch and said: ‘‘We do not desire to injure any one, but this lawlessness must stop. I will give you five minutes to disperse, otherwise you will be fired on.” The order was given the company to prepare for firing, and the grim, resolute old captain—who, Mr. Davis said, was an old resident of Richmond, but whose name he does not recall—gave his men the command, “Load!” The muskets were then loaded with buck-and-ball cartridges, with strict observ- ance of military usage, and every one could see that when their stern commander received orders to fire he intended to shoot to kill. The mob evidently fully realized this fact and began to disperse, and before the five minutes had expired the trouble was over and the famous misnamed bread riot was at an end. ona tron beaohaendiacramel LATE FOREIGN NEWS.

A FRE RRR i PAA Pr Bk § re AA PrP FE ERE . -.. 2 ee wes 4 kee RK In presenting THE EVENING STAR tn tte new dress and improved form, attention ts called to ite peculiar merits as a news and family paper, as well ag to the extraordinary advantages it affords to advertisers. aligh professional authority—which in this Im Stance only expresses public sentiment—has de clared that “THERE IS NO BETTER EVENING NEWSPAPER IN WUE UNITED STATES” than THESTaR, Bat even more than this may be justly claimed forit, In all that relates to the compost tion of a first-class journal, devoted to news, Dusi= ness, family and focal affsirs, it takes rank with the very best in the world, and in the special qual ies named it is not surpassed by any, With alert, intelligent and impartial «pecial correspond- ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of | the telegraph, and with the superior mechanical facilities with which its office is equipped, it covers the whole field of news, and is able to presenta reflex of the entire civilized world each day up to the very moment of going to press. Im these re: spects THE STAR is absolutely without @ rival, and fearlessly challenges comparison, within range of the territory it occupies. In its treatment of public affairs it is impartial and aims to be fair and just to all talthsand inter ests, and it is absolutely independent, in the highe est and broadest sense of the term. In the publi. cation of news it records facts without bias or color, and in the expression of editorial opinion It is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting only what it believes to be right, as it is persisteus in condemning and oppcsing what it believes to he Wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeled by any other interest or consideration than that of serving the public, and securing as far as possible the wele fare of the family circle, and of society as a whole, With these general objects in view, what Tam Sta® specially concerns itself with, and that to Which it gives {ts best efforts, may be briefly de scribed as THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

The EVENING STAR claims to be, and can com Clusively establish that it 18, the best local advertise tng medium in the world! NO OTHE PAPER PRINTED | CIRCULATES 80 MANY COPIES IN THE CITY OF ITS | PUBLICATION, IX PROPORTION TO POPULATION. It is 30 | hardly too much to say that it is read by the mem Ders of every family in the District of Columbia. | It is peculiarly the favorite of the home circle, and | $8 no less esteemed in the counting room and the Work shop. It follows, therefore, that as an agent of publicity within the National Capital and com tiguous territory it has no rival An announces ‘ment in tts columns practically meets ali eyes, and, Fates rank with the lowest in the country. Being | low, they are rigidly adhered to, There only re mains to be added on this head, as an indication Of the esteem in which the paper is held by the | business public, which best understands its own interests in this respect, that, both in the number Of subscribers and of new advertisements printed, | each year tu the history of the paper shows a lange increase over its predecessor. For example, during the frst nine months of the present year the everage daily circulation of the paper has been 26,681 copies, and the whole number of new advertisements printed 39,693, against an average daily circulation of 25,627 copies and 38,594 new advertisements dur- ing the corresponding period in 1887. In short, THE STAR has never taken a backward step, and its conductors sre determined Wat it never shall rake one. THE WEEKLY STAR Is especialy commended to that portion of the Teading public who desire to be kept advised of affairs at the seat of government, and are so situ. Sted as not to need or care for a daily paper. Itte | in every respect a first-class family journal Ite ‘S ‘ews is carefully collected, and may be depended Upon to be fresh andauthentic. Ite scientific, Ite rary, houschold and agricultural departments are edited with the view of meeting the wants and tastes of an intelligent and reading public, and Of affording assistance to the student und those ia pureult of general information. Some of the most noted and learned men and women of the country are contributors to its columns. Its ample tele, graphic arrangements and full corps of special correspondents enable it to lay before its readers every week al important happenings, foreign an@ domestic, and especially such political, social, an@ current events as are worthy of gwic, Ip the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Care Una, and those adjacent thereto. ‘The low price at which it is published, ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, brings it within the reach of all.
