From a lady in Belgium I have received some interesting notes with regard to the fashion of celebrating brass, copper, é&c., weddings in her country. She tells me that when people have been married six years and a half it is usual for them to invite their friends to a feast, ball or any form of entertainment they choose, to mark the occasion of their “brass” wed- ding, and if they specify the reason of the festivities it is customary for each guest to bring a present in brass, says the gentle- woman. After twelve and a half years of married life invitations are again sent out, for the “copper” wedding this time, and every gift must be of that metal. In due course come. the “silver” and “golden” wed- dings, well known to us here, when, of course, nothing less than presents of silver and gold are offered to the happy couple. Mrs.Goemaere tells me that there are nat- urally many people who pass by this string of auspicious events in silence,but that when the occasion of the golden wedding becomes known, be the couple ever so humble, the mayor of the town goes personally to con- gratulate them and to offer them in the town’s name two pieces of plate,upon which are engraved the arms of the town. It is amusing to hear of the unique way in which my correspondent celebrated her copper wedding. No mention was made of the special occasion, and, instead of court- ing her friends’ generosity, she reversed the situation, and, with her own hands, worked no less than 260 small presents, with which she presented her guests, needless to say, to their great consternation. —— see WOMEN AND SHOES. A Dealer Who Thinks That Washing- x Women Can Improve. “Tell me a shoe story,” said the news drummer to a dealer in footwear. 1 “That question is as broad as a comic ; joke and as extensive as the general wel- fare clause,” answered the merchant. “Well, then, do Washington women dress their feet as neatly as do the daughters of other cities?” “No. The New York woman knows more about dressing her feet than does any other woman on the west shore of the Atlantic. The French woman, in this respect, though, leads the world. The mistake most foolish- ly and repeatedly made is the purchase of shoes that are too small. If the foot is large. a small shoe, merely because it is small, will not conceal the defect. It will also, if the lady persists in using it, in- crease the size of the foot by exerting too great pressure on the joints, thus enlarg- ing them. Few feet are absolutely pretty, and a small shoe will display this short- coming quicker than any other shoe, as it will have to assume the shape of the foot in order to be borne. “Then the question of personal comfort ought to weigh something in this alleged era of common sense. French women are the most particular women in the world as to the fit of the shoe and the perfection of all its details. It must be snug across the instep, must fit the ankle without a wrinkle, and must be plenty long. They never use high heels and sharp toes on their walking shoes, but give their every joint all the working room it needs. No woman can be perfectly attired ina ready- made shoe. Her shoe should certainly be made on her last, and not on a last that is Supposed to fit all feet of that size, without regard to individual peculiarity. Washing- ton women have a dowdy way of rigging up their feet. Walk along the avenue and you will rarely see a girl whose shoes fit without wrinkles, or that are not run down on one side, or not rubbed at the heels. It is a very common thing to see a Washing- ton girl with a button off her shoe. Wash- ington girls have as small feet as the rest of womankind, but they are behind the times in methods of shoeing themselves.” — FLOGGED A KENTUCKIAN’S WIFE. Bloodshed Bound to Follow an Out- rage in Washington County. A special from Harrodsburg, Ky., says: Fifty masked men rode up to the home of Samuel Milton near here in Washington county, broke open the door, and while a heavy guard stood watch over Milton, the | rest of the mob dragged Mrs. Milton out of bed and, in view of her husband, gave her | thirty-nine lashes with hickory’ switches. The one garment the regulators left on her was torn into shreds before they finished. They left, saying that the punishment was | because she was suspected of infidelity. Mrs. Milton was a Miss Mathesy, and ts | celebrated for her beauty. Her husband | procured a divorce to marry her, and about that time shot the father of his first wife, who had attacked him in court. A fierce feud broke out and several deaths resulted, ene man being hanged for murder. This new outrage is likely to cause a re- } newal of hostilities. Milton is known to | be very nervy, and is hunting for the men who committed the outrage upon his wife. | Superintendent Geo. J. Luckey of the city | schools of Pittsburg was engaged yester- day in examining a number of Catholic nuns who desire to become teachers in the | public schools in the thirty-fourth ward of | that city. Several hundred children in that district have been attending the _pa-| rochial school, which is too small to at- | commodate them, while there is plenty of room in the public school. Last fall it was suggested that the sisters allowed to teach these children at the I ide build- | irfg. This made it necessary for them to be | regularly examined as to their qualifica- tions just as all other teachers. A number of members of certain orders tried to con- | vince Superintendent Luckey that it was | his duty to refuse to examine the sisters, | but failed. Mr. Luckey received instruc- | tions from the state superintendent of | schools that he should examine them if | they applied in their family names, and | mot as sisters belonging to any peculiar church organization. soe Gen. Lucien B. Northop Dead. Gen. Lucien B. Northop, commissary gen- | eral of the army of the confederate states of America, died at Pikesville, Md., yester- day, aged eighty-three years. Before and during the war he was a close friend of Jefferson Davis, who says in his “Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government: direct the production, preservation, tion and distribution of food for the army required a man of rare capacity and char- acter at the head of the subsistence d partinent. It was our good fortune to have such @ one in Col. L. B. Northop.” Col. | Northop served in the United Stuies army | and had been an inmate of the Confederate | y Home about a year, | THE NEW CONGRESS.

Warm Greeting to the Irish Home Rule Leade A reception Was last night tendered at the Hoffman House, New York city, to Ed- ward Blake, M. P. for the southern divi- ston of County Longford, Ireland, and a leader of the home rule party. Many of those present, including Mr. Blake, wore | the orange and green of the Irish National Federation. Dr. William Barry Wallace, formerly of County Cork, Ireland, proposed that Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet be chair- | men, Wallace then read the address of | welcome, He referred to the work for the | Irish cause both in Canada and Ireland. Mr. McCarthy of Philadelphia welcomed | Mr. Blake on behalf of the Irishmen of Pennsylvania. He said that Mr. Blake | could assure the leaders and men of Ire- land that the Irish people of the keystone state would continue to do their share of the work until home rule is un accomplish- ed fact. Mr, Holmes of Jersey City, though not authorized to speak for New Jersey, said the Irishmen there had done some- thing to help the good cause, as dear to him as ever; and Ireland could depend on her friends in New Jersey in carrying the home rule banner to victory. Mr. Blake said: “f am not the great man they would have you think, neither have I done so much for the cause of poo: Ireland. When we remember those men who have gladly stocd abuse, imprisonment, penury, wounds and even death, for generations past, and that, too, at times when the out- look’ was dark and gloomy, what little I have done sinks Into insignificance. “But happier days are in store for us. Our home rule bill is framed, the leading features agreed upon and approved by“the United Kingdom. When it is settled 1 want to retire to the ranks again. One thing is certain, the great cause has never lacked for leaders. (Laughter). The cause of lib- erty will never die, though one may be dis- appointed this time. The cause of Ireland has depended for many years on those who love liberty throughout the world, assisted by those of her sons that have scattered beyond the seas. They are waiting on the other side for the message I take back with me. I felt certain that the peers would insist upon another election before the home rule came up. The danger that con- fronts us is not in having too many rulers, but too few. England cannot govern Ire- land. She has tried it and failed.” Other speakers were heard and then a largé portion of those present were intro- dueed to Mr. Blake. One particular feature @f the reception was the zealous care with Which the door was guarded. It mattered fot how prominent the man, whether from the press or pulplt, he could not get in without the card of invitation. This arose from the jealousy of the other organiza- tions of Irish-Americans, who declared their intention to propound a series of ques- tions to Mr. Blake that he could answer at the banquet. That gentleman said that as K st. Hulick, Geo. Ohio, 1420 15th street ‘opkins, iW A . 2 Vt. ave. pking, A. J.. Mi, V ri’, Houk, G. W., Ohio, 1336 I st. . @ guest he could not and would not allow any outside matters to be introduced that The season wound up rather tamely after Monday night, but there was not any time lost in resuming hospitalities on Thursday, and the invitations for the coming fort- night are sufficient in number and as at- tractive in character as any of the past six weeks. In many instances dinners and luncheons have been postponed for no other reason than the desire to have them occur at a season when the prospective guests would have the leisure to properly enjoy them. Of the entertainments that have marked the days since Ash Wednesday was supposed to have put an end to such frivo- lous matters, Mrs. Brice’s luncheon, Mrs. Morrison's luncheon in honor of Mrs. Man+ ning, the breakfast given by the Misses Drain for Mrs. Zeballos, all on Thursday, and among the dinners, that given by Mr. and Mrs. S. Barton French on Thursday night, were all singularly pleasant events. There have been a few natable departures from town, and there will be more after a week or two. Miss Mary Leiter went be- fore the season closed, to spend several weeks, and perhaps longer, with Mrs. Don Cameron, who is entertainng a house party of the usual large proportions at the Sena- tor’s southern plantation. Miss Letitia Scott, niece of the Vice President, who has been so much admired here all winter, is on the eve of a visit with friends down at At- lanta, where she will remain until the win- ter is a forgotten quantity. Mrs, Scott will start on Monday for Bloomington, LiL, to remain several weeks. Mrs. Stevenson has gone away for several weeks, to recuperate after the winter's strain, and will visit with relatives in Ken- tucky. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle and a party which included Assistant Secretary Hamlin and Miss Hamlin, Representative, Mrs. and Miss Berry and Mr. Logan Carlisle left this morning for Fort Monroe aboard the tender Maple and will be away until Wed- nesday or Thursday next.

Lieut. and Mrs. Winslow gave a dance at their quarters at the navy yard on Tues- day night in honor of Miss Herbert, daugh- ter of the Secretary of the Navy, and a good many beaux and belles from town went down to enjoy it. The grounds about the house were festooned with rows of Japanese lanterns, stretched from tree to tree, and a stringed orchestra from the Ma- rine Band played the dance music. Mrs. Winslow received in a pretty gown of white crepe, and Miss Herbert was in white silx and muslin, trimmed with white violets. Among those present were: Miss Slocum, Miss Tyler, Miss Eastman, Miss O'Toole, Miss Mattingly, Miss Hazeltine, Miss Ri gles, Miss Cammack, Miss De Vecchi and Miss Howell. Secretary Herbert headed a list of younger men who thoroughiy en- joyed the evening. Perhaps of all the large mansions in town Corcoran House, the home of Senator and Mrs. Brice, seems to the ordinary vis!- tor the best ordered so far as its domestic machinery is concerned. It is not only that there are so many servants, but they all seem to have Something to do, and are not stationed around like the figures which support suits of armor in mediaeval halls, purely for the looks of the thing. In an alcove in the main hall there is a little old- fashioned desk. On it is a much older fash- joned secretary, in which there is elways plenty of note paper, envelopes, &c., a thoughtful provision for everybody's com- fort, friend and stranger alike, who may desire to leave a message for a member of the family. On one of the opened covers of the secretary is an ivory tabiet on which are written every day anything out of the common to occur that day, a changed hour of dinner, whether formal luncheon or a dinner party is on the tapis, or any other information in which the whole house- hold is interested. Mrs. Brice in her yellow drawing room has one of the largest collections of minia- tures, and probably one of the costliest also, because it contains many that are rare. They are contained in two gilt adorn- ed frames hanging on the walls and under the glass cover of an inlaid table. Most of them are beautifully framed in gold and silver and some are jeweled and they would give a very happy hour to anyone who ad- mires miniatures of the great beauties and noted men as well as the art of the paint- ers who achieved distinction in this line two or three centuries ago. Mr. Patenotre, the French ambassador, says he has never seen any floral .lecora- tion in Europe or in this country which ap- proached in beauty that displayed at the Washington Assembly last Monday night. The finest specimen roses, orchids and other high-priced flowers were used most pro- fusely, and the effect attained was very artistic. It has been the topic of conversa~ tion in many a drawing room since, and not only in this, but in every other detail, the arrangements were perfect and the ball a wonderful success. To Mr. William H. Slack the laurels are again most cheerfully acceded by the governors of the Assembly. There are few men in this or in any other city who possess his remarkably fine judg- ment in all that pertains to such events. Society would not be the eminently prac- tical body it is If it did not sometimes wonder what a ball of this kind costs. A little inquiry here and there and a few sums of addition has put the figure for this one at three thousand dollars. This Includes every- thing, and {t could not be duplicated in New York, for instance, for five thousand. Flow- ers are much cheaper here, so are rents and caterers’ charges. There is just a little talk over the possi- bility of a big subscription bal-poudre for mi-careme, which will outdo anything of the kind ever attempted, but whether it will materialize cannot be decided for a few days yet. Then there is a project on hand to get up two subscription concerts, a matinee and an evening the same date, to be given in a private ball room, Mrs. 8. 8. Howland’s in all probability. Melba is to be the bright particular star, and it will be necessary to get plenty of subscribers at a round figure to enjoy the privilege of hearing her sing. ‘The chances, however, are good for the success of the plan. In fact, the dancing and the musical element are on the alert to let no chances get away from them to make Lent interesting, according to their own particular views; and before the week closes a sewing ciats, nearly all made up of the debutantes of the season, will be formed. These busy young ladies are to sew an hour for some of the charitable institutions, and then the men are to come in and pass judgment on their work and other things. Miss Mitchell, who is now visiting Mrs. Francis A. Dugro in New York, was given a luncheon a few days ago by Miss Martha Beckel. ‘The Greek doll bride that was sent by Mrs. Bahkmetiff for the doll show last fall and which arrived too late, has since been raffled and won by Mrs. Hamnfond.
