capital i mean that he is here preeminently social and gregarious and that washington has more clubs and social societies to the square foot than any other american city can boast it has clubs for all sorts and conditions of men and for some sorts and conditions of women the num ber and prosperity of these social re treats result from several favoring conditions the constant presence of a large contingent of the army and navy and of hundreds of retired offi cers the sojourn here the year round of some scores of senators and repre sentatives and the residence here of thousands of opulent people from all parts of the country who havo nothing to do but spend their money employ their leisure aud enjoy life hence clubs thrive here clubs always thrive here the old washington club held its own for half a century it made tor itself a spacious and im posing club house opposite the ex ecutive mansion and overlooking lafayette square and the equestrian jackson prancing on hinder legs therein clay and randolph were both members of it when they went up the potomac one day and fired in the air and called it aduel sickless and phillip barton key were both mem bers of it when key

that he could not fight on an empty stomach and arranged for an armistice to last till after dessert wasnt it morton then minister now vice president who settled the great american hog ques tion by giving a splendid dinner to the french ministers at which when they were complacently full he twitched the transatlantic hog into the con versation by the tail and so deftly manipulated it and so slily basted it with the gravy of suavity that they gracefully came down and agreed to let our porker continue to come to france why a dinner in the palais royale in july 1816 timorously or ganized by wellington was enough to dissuade blutcher from blowing up the bridge of jena i will blow it up grumbled old vor warts over his bisque soup i will i will he repeated as he finished his ragout but when he got to his parfait au cafe and his third moet and chandon and was lighting his meerschaum he con vulsively seized the dukes hand and cried never was there such a dinner before i will not blow up

whether congress assembles in december or at an earlier date there has been some ulk of a reorganization of some of the offices iu the senate this winter ventured your correspondent what has reached me on that point is of the vaguest character i will say that the senate us officered in a way that is generally satisfactory and no organ ized movement iu that direction has developed to mv knowledge
