COLPETZER'S MUSICALE, The Sarson Tin Wedding—Miss Dew- ey's Lunch—Lulu Davis' Birthday Party—General Gossip—Art Notes. Society in Omaha, It wae with characteristic wisdom that nature made the earth so various, in order that man—desultory, studious of change and pleased with novelty--might be indulged. To everyone a change of geenes and employments is necessary for the preservation of health, but to none more so than to those whose entire win- ter has been spent in the gaie social world. These weary bers of a circle that knows no cessation to its whirl or freedom from 1ts caprices, save that refuge found in a lodge 1n some vast wilderness, are fully entitled to the rest which they will seek, This season the fashionable summer resorts will be crowded with Omabans who are fortun- ate enough to be able to foot expensive bills and give frequent “tips,” while the ‘‘willowy brook beside the hill,” with boarding houses operated by people content with making only a small for- tune out of summer boarders, will be vis- ited by those whose purses are limited. Many have already departed and daily dc[mrlurcs take place, and soon Omaha will be represented in all parts of the globe with rest-seeking citizens, The past week has one in home societ; v e esting events having occurred. The coo evunrnga for which the Gate Uity is noted, tend to bring out many pleasant events during the warm weather among those who remain at home. The Colpetzer Musicale. A delightful event was that which oc- curred Thursday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Colpetzer in this city.

Interesting Reminiscences of the Great Frenchman's Life. * A PLAN TO INVADE ENGLAND. The Monument to His Memory—His Friendship for the Colonial States—His Mementoes of Was! Kton, Washington Correspondence of Cleve- land Leader: At this time any new mat- ter relating to General Lafayette will be ng. Congress has made an ap- propriation for a statue of him, and the committee looked over a number of models shortly after congress adjourned. Nothing could be more_apvropriate than such s ue, and it s fitting that the United States of to-day, should bear in mind the great services of this French hero of the past. Lafayette was one of the first Frenchmen to come to the aid of the United States in the revolutionary struggle. IHe fitted out a yacht at his own expense, and left France to sail for America after the king forbade him. When rived at Philadelphia he told congress that he wanted only two things. The first was that he might serve at his own expenses, and the second that he might start out as a volunteer., He was only nineteen years old at this time, but congress made him a major general, he reported himself to General Washington. He did good service in the war, led the attack at Monmouth, aud was badly wounded at Brandywine His expenses dur his trip to the United States amounted to nearly $150,- 000 or 700,000 francs. He left the United States only because war had broken out between France and England and he thought it s duty to go back to the aid of his own country. He was alw: a strong friend of the United States in after Tife and one of his favorite I;rojvcts was that England should be invaded and Paul Jones should command the navy, while he should have command of our army. He helped the Unmited States much 1n securing money and friends in France, and to the day of his death he considered himself as much a citizen of his adopted country as his own. We have a park here at Washington named after him. Itis directly ovposite the white house. Itisoneof the pleasantest rest- ing) vlaces in the heart of the capital. One of the best paintings of Lafayette is that which hangs in the house of rep- resentatives. It was painted by Ary Sheffer, und the artist took a sketch for it of Lafayette as he lay upon his death= bed. He was aided nlso by a sketch which Lafayette's eldest daughter made at this time, and I suppose by the plaster cast which was made by the sculptor David. The other day I eame across a _tim worn volume of ‘'Recollections of Lafa, ette,” by a Frenchman who was to him what Boswell was to Johnson. The book has long since been out of print. 1t was published during the presidency of An- drew Jackson, and at about the time of Lafayette's death, The author describes Lafayette as being exactly like the pi ture which hangs in our honse of repr sentat He was tall and well propor- tioned, portly but not f: His head was large and his face oval and regular, H forchead wus lofty and open and his eyes were lu nd prominent. They were of a grayish blue and full of goodnass and spirit. They were sarmounted with light and well arched but not: bushy eyc- brows. His nose wasaquiline, his mouth smiling, his complexion clear, , and his cheeks rosy. At the ago of seventy-seven not a wrinkle lurrnwug his countenance. He had a strong and vigorous constit tion and kept his good health to the last. He was simple in dress and was remark- ably clean and neat in his person. He was very punctual m keeping his a pointmen highly cultured and great re He was fond of the coun- try and his home at Lagrange, situated about forty miles from Paris, was one of the pleasantest estates in France, "This home was,at the time of his death, filled with mementoes of his love for the United States, and he had many relies which would be invaluable if they could be made u part of our National museum. From this old Frenchman’s recollections Iamable to give you the sketches of some of these, Theyare reproduced sketched them at the time of Lafayette's life. Among the souvenirs of Goeneral Whshington which Lafayette preserved with religious care, was anivory-handled pair of eyeplasses, i used by Washington during the years of his life. On one side of the oty handle on a silver shield is graved the word “Washington,” and the two eyeglnsses are more like those of a pocket microscope than anything else. We allknow that Washington had false teeth, but this i3 the first time that I have heard of his using oyeglasses, He carried, also, a sunumbrella or par- asol, and Lafayette had one of these. is deseribed as a long handled p with an 1vory top, **which the illustrious president of the United States usually at- tached to his horse's saddle to protect himself from the burning rays of the sun.” Another relic was a piece of ta- pestry embroidered by Mrs. Washington at the age of seventy. It represented shells, and Lafuyette used it as a cushion sited this country n 1824, aud it was at this time that congress granted him $200,000 and & township of Jund in payment for the money which he had given to the United States in the war of the revolution, During this time he visited Mount Vernon, and while George Washington Parke Custis gave lnm aring in which were locks of the hair of George Washington and his wife braided to- gother- ‘The chestout of the ring 18 Washingtor hair on each side that of hi the hair on the sides also had Washington's deco Cineinnatus, and he had a cane which Franklin used to carry. anklin’s granddaughter sent Lafayette a pin in which were the hair and cipher of Frank- lin. [t was used as a searf or shirt pin, and is undoubtedly genwne, But it will perhaps surprise the people of to-day that Franklin was 5o yain as to use any- thing of the kind. During his visit to the United States, Lafayette was given a suit of clothe the people of the Carolinas, and it was thought a great thing then that those clothics were of howne manufacture. The coat hud gold buttons, and these were ornamented with the fuce of Washing- ton. fayette used habitually a seal which contained the heat of Washing- ton surrounded by rays, and he had two swords _given nm while he was in the United States, One was given by the Nmth artillery regi- ment, of New York, and it had a handle of ivory surmounted by an eagle’s head of car guld. ‘The other was presented to him by eongress, and 1 am able to give you sketehes of tne blade of this.

City,village and ham- let poured out their inhabitants enmasso to meet him, and he visited all the states then composing the union. He stopped a few weeks at the white house, just be- fore he left,and during this time he mado the trip to Mount Vernon, above spoken of, and also visited ax-Presidents son,Madison and Monroe at their resy tive estates. Ho left for France Septem- ber 7, and President John ({uim-y Adams n e a speech of farewell, He replied, closing his remarks with these Words:— “'Giod bless you, sir, and all that sure round you.
