8 ~ ‘TMHE GALLOWS. IN CALIFORNIA, Execution ef Pancho Valencia for the Murder of Joseph W. Hewitt. The Murdered Man Also a Murderer. A Driving Rain and Hail Storm Beat Upon the Criminal While He Stood Upen the Gallows, HE Dicd PROTESTING HIS ‘On Friday, the Sist of January, Pancho Valencia ‘was hanged in the Court House yard at Fairfleld, Bolano county, in the presence of about fifty peo- pie, for the murder of Joseph W. Hewitt, committed ‘wpon the 8d of March, 1871. A correspondent of the Ban Franclaco Chronicle was present at the execu- “tion and furnished the following report:— ‘ PARTICULARS OF THE CRIME. Some months betere the murder of Hewitt hehad quarrel with aman named Parker Adams and Kilica him, He was tried for the Killing and ac- quitted. From this time a series of malicious per- secutions were instigated against Hewitt. Upon ene occasion the timbers of a bridge near his house, over which he was expected to cross, were sawed in such @ manner that a team belonging to Hewitt broke through and three horses were killed. Hewitt escaped, as he was walking behind the team at the time, Soon alterwards his barn ‘Was set on fire and burned. It now became evi- dent that his life and property were threatened by soute secret foe through revenge for the killing of Adams. SHOT DEAD AT HIS OWN DOOR, On the night of the 3d of March two men came te his door and demanded admittance. He went to the door, and not liking their Appearance went inte the yard to order tuem away. Just alter one outside the door he was shot dead, the bail.entering ucar the nipple ot the left breast and eae, through his body. Fancho Valencia and 8 brother Guadalupe were arrested on suspicion ofthe crime, tried and found guilty, chiefy on the evidence of two daughters of the deceased, Motion for a new trial was granted, and such light was thrown on the case a8 led to the abandonment of the prosecution against Guadalupe, while Pancho was aw found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. A third trial was granted, and Pancho was convicted and sentenced to be hanged on the Bist of January. Every efiort was made to sccure another trial or at least a stay of proceedings, THE LAST HOPE. ‘Th only hope which new stood between Valencia id the grave was the interterence of the Gover- ", and efforts were made in that direction, Mcanwhile the scaflold was being built and the ‘prisoner’s coniessor was admonishing him of his coming end. Kvery effort was mado by Father Auger to induce him to confess, but the prisoner Sirmly protested his innocence. THE MORNING OF THE EXECUTION. Yesterday at the little village of Fairfield was, as several people remarked, “jast the day for a hang- ing.” The morning was cold and gloomy, and as the day advanced tie ciouds thickened in the sky, while a thick mist hung over the piace, which soon developed into a drizclingrain, It was acknow- ledged by everybody to be the most disagreeable acai had been experienced during tie 1 INNOCENCE, INTERVIEWING THE PRISONER. Two hours before the execution a Chronicle re- porter was aduaitted to the prisoner, He was ina com/ortabie roem in the Ceunty Jail, having been removed that merning trom the cell which he had eccupied since his arrest, He was in company with the priest, who acted as interpreter during the interview, the prisoner being unable to talk, except in Spanish, ‘the prisoner was dressed ina new suit of fine broadcloth, had been shaved an hour beiore and his appearance was scrupulously meat and clean. He was small in stature and lignt of build, His hair was coal black, cut, brushed and oiled with great care.

The place was filled with men, all eager to witness the work of death; yet many appeared to be so ashamed of their presence at Buch atime that they asserted that they came up te pay their taxes af the county seat. As the time drew near several set their watches by the Sher- 10's 80 as to know exactly when the executien was totake place, At fifteen minutes to twelve o'clock the Sherii? ascended the ladder, and, tying the noose to the crossbeam, left t swaying in the wind ‘With the lower end wrapped in @ piece of cotton to conceal the knot from sight. Alter this a coffin ‘Was brought out and placed veneath the gallows. Orders were ey ih to close the doors of the Court House and admit nobody, For some minutes the crowd waited in the hail, speakin; whispers and awaiting the entrance of who was during this time receiving the adminis- a nd of the Holy Sacrament at the hands of the priests, Ata little aiter twelve o’clock the Coor at the end of the hall @pened, and Valencia, supported on each side by the priests, tottered acrors the thresh- old. ‘The crowd pressed back on each side as if a leper were passing, and the prisoner was taken to the room ef tle County Sheriff.

When he firat saw the ws through the open door leading to the Court louse yard, he merely lifted his eyes to the sus- pended hoose and then fixed them calmly on his ‘comin.

He held it before his tace even after the black cap had been drawn over his head, THE DROP. The priests now knelt by his side and com- mended bis soul to God, At the words, “In nomine sanctorum Virginiam,” Assistant Sherif Danton turned away his face, and, with tears coursing down his cheeks, severed with @ pen- kuile the cord which liberated the drop. In a Second the seund of the falling trap startled the waiting crowd, and at twenty-five minutes to one the body of Pancho Valencia fell through the trap and was dangling in the air below the platform, Alter a few seconas the body ceased to revolve a! to and tro before the spectators, over whom fell the stillness of the grave. | At first death appeared to have been instantaneous, at goon the body began to writhe and twitch, as if attempting to break the straps that bound it, the knees bent twice, and the body curved inward from the back. ‘The hands and arms worked con- vulsively at intervals, while the head twirled around as if to look up the rope, These stron; muscular movements ceased in @ few seconds an ave place to spasmodic elevations of the chest, as fi the poor wretch was eat § to breathe, In about six minutes the bouy hung motion. less belore the spectators, whe stood regarding it with reverential awe, After fifteen minutes or more had passed they began slowly to approach the suspended dead. One aiter avother they stepped under the scaffold and crowded around the body. Aftcr the body had been hang- ing thirty minutes all respect for the solemn scene appeared to be lost. A buzz of conversation sprang up under the scaffold, and the village wits n to pass jokes to and fro, while they chatted and laughed as ii @ base ball mateh had just been finished, After hanging nearly Shree-quarters of an hour the rope was cut, the ee ly tell for- ward into the arms of the Deputy Sheriifa, and Drs. Campbeil and Priestley examined the neck, whicn they found was not broken. ‘ihe body of Pancho Valencia was then placed in the coffin, without any one being permitted to see his features, and buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetery, under the super- vision of the priests. WAS HE INNOCENT OR GUILTY ? ‘The solemn and decided manner in which Valen- cla protested bis innocence to the last has led to the belief in the minds of many that he was sent into eternity innocent of the crime for which he suifered the extreme penalty of the law. He was but poorly defended on his last trial, and his coun- sel is reported to have been drunk a portion of the time, The testimony which secured his con- viction came from the wile and daughter of the murdered man. The evidence was Mostly circumstantial. Two men called at the house of Hewitt and called bim out. Soon after the report ef a gun was heard and Hewitt was brought in dead. His wife and Caughters re- cognised the prisoner as one of the men who came tothe door. Bella Hewitt’s testimony was the most conelusive, She said she recognized him be- yonda doubt. It is said, however, that the mother and daughter admitted before the trial that they only caught a glimpse of the parties, and would not know them again. Both the priests express the strongest belief in Valencia’s innocence. Lvery device they could think of was employed by them to get him to confess, but his firm protestation of his innocence never weakened in the least degree. Being told by his spiritual advisers that hcaven was open to him if he confessed the truth, and with hell yawning beneath him if he took his “leap in the dark” with a lie on his lip, he protested his in- nocence to the last. His remarkable coolness and self-poasession upon the scaifold did not Spprench anything like bravado, but appeared to be the re- suit of humble fortitude and calm resignation to his fate. Public opinion in the vicinity ts nearly equally divided in regard to his guilt or innocence, The majority, however, since the execution, are disposed to the latter. Valencia's three trials coat the county of Solano between thirty ana forty thou- sand dollars, ee Aa eee rt The great theme of conversation in Hoboken yesterday was the result of the Coroner’s inquest. The comments thereon were animated, and opin- ions were freely expressed, some favorable and others unfavoravle to the conelusien arrived at. Owing to the lateness of the hour on Saturday night full particulars were not obtained of the na- ture and extent of the feeling among the crowd that attended the inquest. Several times the po- licemen, on requesting the spectators to move back, were rudely informed that they were as good citizens as the police, aud would not stir, One gentieman, having heard of the intentions of some Of the assemblage, rushed to the police station and said to the officer on duty :—“Bring out all the men ou’ve got. If that jury don’t acquit the prisoner e will rescued irom the police.” Fortunately, however, the jury did exonerate Berger, and a bloody riot was prevented. An intense teeling, based on foreige nationality, has been fanned by the over-zealous friends of berger, and a determi- nation formed to drive from the police force every American and Irishman, There are, nevertheless, hopes that those unhappy prejudices against men who have done nothing but thetr sworn duty may Soacaily be extinguished, as there is yet a fair amount of high-mindedness among the German element. Ihe authorities, however, yield nothing to clamor. In case the ased be ever identified they will endeavor to clear up the mpeeery which has clouded the victim’s untimely deat!

ANOTHER ROYAL STUART. eempeeanttjeentgenaliion A Direct Deseendant of “Prince Charlic” Through the Duke of Monmouth—Does Not Want to Disturb Victoria on Account of Consanguinity. to the Campbells. To THe Eprtor OF THE HrRaLy:— I perceived in your issue of tne 9th inst. a column of your valuable journal dedicated to William Rysam Gracie, “the last of the Stuarts.” You clearly set forth facts upon which the deceased gentieman claimed his ancestry, but it puzzles me very much, as @ member and descendant of the ill-fated royal house of Stuart, how the Stuart race can be extinct. Quite impossible. The Stuart race, a great number of them—meaning the illegitimate part— remains intact to the present day, For instance, T shall show you in a brief way how the Stuarts are still existing. The present Duke of Richmond, tle leader of the conservative party in the English House of Lords, is a lineal descendant of Charles H. The Dukes of Buccleuch and Beanfert are the same, too,.as well as the Duke of Grafton, but of the Duke of Monmouth, from whom the writer claims his descent, his title may be extinct; assuredly his race is not. The Duke of Monmouth was the favor- ite of Charles Il, inasmuch as his mother, whose name was Lucy Waters, was the mistress of the King, who was on one occasion going to divorce the Queen aud have Lucy Waters in her place. The matter came to<he ground. Monmeuth was found by the King in some conspiracy, by which he was expelled. Shortly afterwards Charies held a coun- cil, in which he was going to declare Monmouth helr to the throne, but failed to accomplish his wish, owing to the itimacy of the young duke. Aiter Charles’ death the Duke of York, alter- wards James Il., occupied the throne, and Men- mouth, who was exiled in Holland, set sail with seven ahi) war and landed at Hastings, where be disembarked his followers, to the number ef 8,000. He immediately set a price uw) the head of James and prociaimed land, Monmouth gained victor; to Whitehall, and was procialt laces he had subjected, until within some short istance of London, where he met with a furmida- ble array of op; nts, amd in a hasty move a rong comman given, and the battle was lost, Monmouth then made aretreat.

WATERS, HURT BY A STAGE. on ay in front of and was lying at THE BUFFALO MURDERER, Further Particulars in the Case ef John Gaffney. —e—__ Continued Indications of Insanity—Excitement in the City of Buffalo—The Inquest on His Conditien—The Doctors Disagree— His Conduct in Jail—He Is Not Informed of the Respite. Burrao, Fed, 8, 1873, The ease of Gaffney, especially since he has been respited, continues to be the all-absorbing tople of conversation among all classes in this community. In the hotels, in the barrooms, on the streets, in the cars, in private families, and even at social gatherings the question of Gaffney’s sanity is dis- discussed, and opinions as to its reality are varied according to the locality, and, in many instances, according to the political proclivities of the speakers, The entire town is in a state of EXTRAORDINARY KXCITEMENT, and even the party organs have taken the subject up in a@ flercely personal style. Erle county hag for many years gone generally democratic, but at the last election the republicans swept the board, The democratic organ claims that the republican party managers “contracted to save Gainey, in consideration of votes for the republican ticket.” At this the republican organ riles up and charges that the tone of the former journal, in insisting that Gaffney is insane ang should not be executed, is only for the purpose of securing the political aid of the class to which Gaffaey belonged, The poll- ticlans themselves are, metaphorically speaking, “at daggers points” on the question, and itis very probable that should Gatfney be pronounced sane, and therefore be obliged to suffer the penalty of the law, the question of his death and the alleged promises to save him may enter to a great cxtent into local affairs, In my last letter I stated that Gaffney threw the crucifix at Father Malloy. On futher inquiry I have been informed by the Jailor, Mr. Harris, that Gaffney had smashed the crucifix belore the priest arrived, Shortly after be commenced his ravings he picked the crucifix up, gazed at it, and asked what that thing was, and what brought it there, interlarding each question with @ profane ex- pression, and buried it against the cell door with & fearful imprecation, Previous to the sudden change in Gattncy’s demeanor Father Malloy and the Sisters of Charity had apparently succeeded in imducing him to RBALIZE HIS SITUATION and prepare himself to die happily and at peace with God, Clergymen of other denominations have visited Gaihey, and although he had never been brought ap to or professed any religion he permitted hiwself to be instructed in the catechism and doctrines of the Catholie Church, The only semblance of moral training he had ever recetved was during @ short attendance, when quite young, ‘@t @ mission school which was founded by the Young Men’s Christian Association, It will be seen that to bring a man lixe Gaifney—who had been born and bred tn and amoung crime, and whose companions during his entire Hie were irom the most desperate and depraved classes—to a sense of religious duty was no small task, and itis but natural to suppose that should reason give away the mind would be distorted, would lose the effects of the recent gentle training, and would driit into the old channels, and that the former style of thinking and speaking should come uppermost, GAFFNEY WAS SHARP AND SHREWD enough, it is sald by those who knew him, to feiga insanity in the manner above indicated; but it must be said, if he be only shamming, he ts piay- ing his part remarkably well, and as he has thus far deceived the doctors and many others he may succeed for the present in cheating the gallows, Since my last letter, as is already known, the Governor, on the request of the doctors, has granted a respite of one week; but as the case is a remarkable one, and its termination may, and no doubt will, have some effect on some of the many others contined in prisons throughout the countr, for murder, I will continue the story from where terminated gn Sorel despatch. I gave the sectiong of the law which bear on the case of a convict sho wing evidences of insanity after bemg con- demned to death as in the present case. Sheriff Cleveland, observing the continuance of the symptoms of insanity in Gaifnoy’s demeanor, called in Dra, Dayton, Kecbester, Miner, Hopkins, Potter and King. ‘They each ovserved and ex- amined Gamey on Wednesday, but could not deter- mine whether his insanity was real or teigned. They found nim pacing his ceil, talking in a monot- onous way about a “Dutch dance,” @ Captain Frawley and a cock fight; swearing and blasphem- ing continually and stating that some of his friends had got him into & scrape and then ran away from him; that a couple of them were “running” his concert saloon, taking in tabnious sums of money and would not come to him with any oi it; that the keeper in charge of him was continuaily poking @ big pole through the bars at him and would not let him rest, He would sit sometimes on the side of his cot and taik toward the wall, as if teling some- body his story, which he never varied, except by inserting here and there @ few more oaths or im- precations, The Sheriff telegraphed to Governor Dix, briefly stating the case and asking for A RESPITE FOR TWO WEEKS, so that the doctors could make a more complete find satisfactory exammation. At about eleven o’clock on Wednesday night a genuine Dix-onion despatch was received, directing the Sheritf to pro- ceed in the execution of his duty. The physicians above named telegraphed the Governer on Thurs- day morning, after huving made a second examina- tion, and stated that they were unabie te decide as to the sanity of Gatfuey, and recommended thata respite be granted, as the Sherif had asked, The Sheriff, in company with Judge ‘Talcott, of the Supreme Court, then summoned a jary for the pur- de tunatico inquirendo, in accordance with the provisions of the statute. This jury comprised some of the leading citizens, and was one of the most intelligent looking juries I have ever seen, The names of the jurymen are:—Frederick W. Breed, Charles G, Irish, Philip Becker, A, J. Davis, Joseph Candee, Henry M. James, [aga Stone, Leonard Dodge, Frank Perew, A. 3. Carpenter, ‘Truman G, Avery and Edward BE. Hazard. This FINAL INQUISITION convened at two o’clock on Thursday afternoon, In the chamber of the Board of Supervisors in the Court House, adjoining the jail, Gattey was brought in by the jatior, Mr. Harris, and an assist- ant and placed in @ chair near the District At- torney. He looked completely shattered. Ordl- narily he was a realiy handsome man, about five feet seven in height, with a clear complexion, & large, foie ge dark eye, black hatr and slender mus- tacnhe, and well-defined, classically cut features, His appearance on Thursday, however, was very bad. His face wore that sickly pallor so usual in those who have been confined in jail; he kept his eyes roving restiessiv irom one side to the other and his mouth twitching nervously, but he uttered not a word during the entire investigation, His beard had grown considerably, his hair was un- kempt, his clothing, although clean, was slovenly, and altogether he was as much unlike his former self as one can well imagine.

Knapp and Spaulding, who have been been watching Gailey, and of the turnkey, Mr. pes MS) tal erie te mm meee to show the Bl of facts as is sayings and doin; js above stated. In their opinions, as usual, — THE DOCTORS DISAGREED, Not.one was ready to state that he was positive as to the sanity or insanity of the prisoner. Dr. Hep- kins and Dr. King were of opinion that he was in- sane. The otuers would not Dr. Dehl, one of the attending physicians in the insane dopartarent of the County House, was put on the stand. He believed, irom watching Gatfuey while in the room, that he was only feigning, and that he had his eyes and ears wide open te all that was going on ut him, and had been paying too close attention for @ person who was really insane. He would not like to state tively, however, om 30 short an examination, that the man was not insane. An adjournment was then taken until hali-past seven o'clock im the evening, but before that hour arrived the message had been received from the Governor in answer to the tele- gram from the physicians, granting the respite until the 14th instant. The jury was dismi! by the Sherif until Tuesday morning next, and in the meantime Dr. Gray, from the Utica Asylum, is exe pected to arrive here and make an examii oe and from his long experience iu the tment of the insane it is fair to presume that he will be able to decide definitely the question which now, above all others, agitates this city. GAFFNRY RETURNED TO 1118 CELL, retaining the same idiotic look and without mak- ing any demonstration, except saying that he wanted to go down and see how the saloon was b dips J on, and jibbering away in an undertone on he same old topics.

On last evening @ lecture was delivered at the Liberal Institute, in this city, by 0. W.

Subsequently Mr. Deviin presented himself in Court, but he did not know the women, neither did they know him. He showed several letters of a spicy character which had been ad- dressed by a lady to Captain Gunner, Father Litz, of the Dominican church, and Mr. Thomas Hunt, charging Mr. Devlin with things too naughty to be mentioned here, even tf true.

But it pieinly shows that Mormon supremacy is at an end, thateven without actual legislation (which we hope soon to have on the matter), it would have to “knuckle under” to Yankee progress, even inthe far West. Knowing the influence of your great paper on all public questions, and thinking it may help to strengthen, in the eyes of the public, the aflidavits on the same subject published in the HERALD of the 14th Sep- tember last, Isenda SYNOPSIS OF THE LECTURE. ‘The lecturer opened by saying that it was origl- nally his intention not to say a word about the ism of Mormonism, but a piece which he read having appeared in the Church organ denying the endow- ment oath and defying proof, he thought it only Tight to give that statement a public contradiction ana brand it as false; that he himself had, when he firat joined the Mormon Church, to take the oath, part of which was ‘‘to maintain the priest- hood and avenge the blood of the prophets.” All of this he aid not at first understand, but sub- seqnent events opened his eyes. He then applied himself to the original purposes of the lecture, gave a glowing description of the journey between the island of Santa Cruz, off the Calltornian coast, and Cedar City, Utah, stating that he was one ofa party or train which was formed early in November, 1857 (four months after the massacre), bound for the latter place. When they reached San Francisco rumors of large train having been destroyed by the Indians were afloat. At Fort Tejon, where Captain Carle- ton was in charge, they frst heard of white men being suspected as accomplices inthe deed. The Captain tried to dissuade them from following the usual and now supposed dangerous route, but they relused to believe the reports and continued their way. As they progressed evidence as to white men baving been engaged multiplied and marched, in @ very pompous Manner, up to tle | hecame stronger.

On the testimony of the ofticer was too conclusive to be doubted as to the charge againat bot the prisoners, and he should hold them for trial. Suca conduet should be put a stop to, otherwise respectabio Women could not walk the streets, even in day time. Bail was offered them by Mr. Farley, who was evidently disappointed that his friend was not instantly d iseharged, ‘The Court said that Mr. Farley would have to wait un- til the calendar had been disposed of, wnen bail would be accepted. Mr. Farley thanked the Court, half sarcastically , for ite courtesy, and Justice Bixby, in @ most tantalizimgly cold manuer, said the gentieman was ‘‘very welcome.” The great man would not wait, and leit the court with an ex- being questioned he stated he was merely hunting, butat afterwards came out that he was placed there a8 @ sentinal to pick off any stragglers who may have escaped the massacre, Thus the lecturer continued, leading the audience step by atep aloug the route he then travelied, giving vivid deserip- tions of F dered and weaving in interesting in- cidents of the journey.

Mr. Ebell quietly slipped out and saw a man in the act of attempting to force the lock.

All were comfortable; but many weie persons of prop. erty, who took not only comforts but tuxuries. beautiful furniture, parpers, splendid clothing, je elry—one family actually having a splendid pian whieh could, he venturea, almost confidently, say, be found, if proper search were made, at pres ent in Salt Lake City. Their imtended destination was California; but they were fated never to reach it. WHY THE BUTCHERY WAS ORDERED, They travelied by easy stages, aud were all in such good spirits when they reached Salt Lake that they dressed out with flashy ribbons a beautiful animal of the bovine species and catied him, in honor of his lomg-tail family, “Brigham Young.” ‘The joke touched a sensitive Vag ofa certain high rsonage and the eyes of tie autocrat were rought directly to bear on the emigrants, In consequence of Johnson’s threatened invasion, as it was called, the Territory was placed by the Governor under martial law. Various rumors to excite and frighten the people were set afloat, Brigham exercised supreme authority, and under this authority the high-spirited, independent travellers, who dared to desecrate his name in his very stronghold and make a jaughing-stock of it before the eyes of his people, were immediately or- dered out of the Territory without giving them time COURT CALENSARS—THIS DAY.

Was it to institute in- quiry by order of the Governor? No! but John D. Lee and Isaac Haight had come up with their spoils—400 head of cattle—the preceeds of the sale of which were turned over to the Church store, and they were to receive the sacrament in public, with Brigham at the communien table, to show their innocence, and to receive the assurance that their fidelity had been proved and appreciated, I sincerely hove that no part of our noble count will ever agalh be disgraced by the record of a damnable deed.

Chit-Chat from the National Capital—Republican- Simplicity Not So Simple After All—Cabinet Receptions—Dinners of Lasting Fame— Hotel Hops and Talking Tea Parties—Great Expectations from the Inaugural Ball. Wasminaton, Feb. 8, 1873. Bravo, General Myers! It is you, aided by your “Old Probabilities,” who has made the season now drawing to @ close such a success, Had wo enjoyed clear skies and clean streets the recep- tions would Lave been crowded with pedestriam clerks, lobbyists, boardinghouse keepers and M. C.’s from the rural districts, who pack the drawing rooms and gobble the refreshments, But it has been so charmingly snowy, and sleety« and rainy, and sloshy, and slippery, that am embargo has been placed on this vulgar herd, while those legitimately in good society have had a good chance to enjoy themselves. Even the male and female lobbyists have been sifted out by, the hotel hops, where they are in their glory, andi where they can order champagne for Congress--, ional victims and have it charged, If a stranger wishes to see “life in Washington,” these hotel: hops are the places to go to. All the States and the- ‘Territories are there represented, and one sees the sangre azula of the Old Dominion; the quaint and dyspeptic Yankees, quick-eyed men bearing the: pleasant countenances of their Milesian ances-- tors; massive Kentucktans, blu:T ana burly Anglo- Saxons, swarthy Creoles, Pennsylvanians, who appear to have fed on their cherished pigiron;. thoughtfal Teutons, diplomatists, wearing their’ ribbons and stars, and chevallers @indusirie, who may some day sport steel bracelets, and with these: men are dames et demoiselles of high and low degree, presenting @ kaleidoscopic whirl of gay’ colors, bright eyes, towering headdresses and flashing jewels. Sometimes, too, one sees @ minis- terial guest at the establisument, standing at the. doorway, looking somewhat as Hawthornoe’s friend Silas Fester did when he gazed at the masquerade mummeries at Merry Mount. The eating and drink- ing at these hotel hops is good, as the table. on such an occasion is an advertisement of theoulinary excellence of the fare. One great charm of the en- tertainments for the uncivilized is the easy ad- journment to the bar, where the young men, curis- tened by Sala «bottle conjurors,” display the agility of acrobats and the prestiaigative skill of magicians ag they toss tamblers about in concocting fancy, drinks. Very different from these free and easy, mosaics of society are THR RECEPTIONS OF MRS, HAMILTON FISH, 3 who is the acknowledged head of good society here, and who graces Governor Murgan’s spacious house which the Secresary leases. Mrs, Fish dresses iu good taste, and always has oue or two of her daughters, with Mrs. Bancroit Davis or Mra. Horace Clarke to aid her in receiving her guests. Promi- nent among them is Lady Thornton, who, by the way, looked charmingly the other night In @ javender-colored silk, trimmed with black lace, and with a sweeping train over a white silk skirt. Madame de Noaiiles, the wife of the new French Minister, has disappo nted the ladies here, her toilet hrs far interior to those of Mrs, Sunset Cox or Miss Brooks. One great charm of the Fish entertainmects is that the young secretaries and attachés or the legations, who act so rudely and who put on such airs elsewhere, have there to be gentiemantike and civil in the presence of their respective chiefs. There is also a notable absence of newspaper meh, as the Secretary only invites these who publiso his praises and excuse his blunders, MRS.
