Washington, FeUnary 10. The bull given
to-night by tho Marquis and Marchlonoas de
Montholon was beyond all question the most
magnificent entertainment ever given in thia
metropolis, and is a briehtlink in the chain of
pleasant associations that binds together the
two nations.
The Marquis bears a name historical in Ld
Jidle France, and is tUofion of tho (Jenrral of
that natnu who was the, companion of Napoleon
the First at St. lleieua, auj of Napoleon tho
Third when ho was also a prisoner ot state,
while the Marchioness is iho daughter of a gal
lant Rcncral iu the ild United States Army. Tiio
house now occupied by tho French Legation was
built and fitted up oy W. W. Corcoran, tho
bunker, and the labt public entertainment civen
there was when his dauphtpr was married to Mr.
lCuetis, theu a member of the Federal Coupress,
but afterwards Confederate Secretary ot Lega
tion at Paris. It i a spacons, elaborately orna
mented building, Ironting Laiayetto square.
To-mpht, H3 it to impress upon the eucustlut
this wan a French festival, tiio carriages rolled
in at a pirrte coc'icrc, in true Parisian style. In
front ot the house there was no sijru of tho gay
throng within. The guests, on alightinc, wero
received by servant in full 11 very, and were
escorted through the hall and up tho grand
Btuircac, with its banisters of missive curved
uk. Tho front room on the second-story, used
by the Marquis as his cabinet de travail, was se;
apart as the gontlouicn'a dr-'Ssiner-rooni, where
gloves were put on, an. i the liair-brusU was ap
plied to give tue hint touch. The ndjaceut avmrt
nicnt in the rear wu'thc ladiei' dressing roo:n ,
into which the la'r ones entered in their eonoon
like wrappings, from which they eon'mel in the
full glory ot evening nttire. Desccn.linz tho
Hlaireiu-e Hgain, the guests were shown into trin
front draiu;:-rootn, on the left of the main h ill,
w here stood the host and hostess.
Ihe Marquis was a'tired iu full eveuinz dress,
wearing around his neck the bright scarlet rib
bon and decoration of a Commander of the
Legion of Honor, while several other orders
graced his breatit. Jlc is a ti'll, well-made,
graceful peiirleiimn. nnd his Parisian politeness
wa-j conspicuous ns he received his euests. Tho
lilarchiouess, as has ulready been stated, is an
American by birth and education. Hlie wore a
dress of white tarlatan, elaborately trimmed,
with a superb necklace of. diamonds, and the
cross of some reg.il order on her shoulder.
The drawing-rooms ot the Legation are elabo
rately deco ated. Prominent ' in that which
guesi9 wero received are three-quarLer length
Iiortraits of tiio present Emperor and of the
ovely Empress Eugenie, which were the objects
of niaiked attention. Leading from th; lront
drawirii-room a the library, which is fitted up
with carved oak, ana not only contains a large
collection of btnudard works, but many rate
works of att, prominent anion? which is a
veiled bust, so wonderlully executed that it
would 6eetu that tno bust is covered with a white
veil.
Connecting with the library and wi'.hthe back
drawinc-room is the diutnc-hall. To-night this
is the supper-ioom, and the curved oaken bullets
are loaded with gastronomic wonders. Pastries,
icep, and the many palatable delicacies which
have made Frenct cooking renowned the world
over are lavishly supplied, with an abundance
of rich Burgundy, vparkliug champagne, and
other iucs ot the rnrvst vintages All the eata
bles, we learned, are home productions, Iroiu
tho kitchen of the Lecrali)!i, and were highlv
appreciated and enloytd by the guests, inauy of
whom are accustomed to the scanty fare ot our
WashiDeton hotrds.
The drawing-rooms, tlir library, and the dining
ball are cn one side ot the main hall of the
bouse. On tho other side i3 a spacious apart
ment dedicated to art. It is lighted from above,
and the walls are covered with choice pictures
by the first American and European artists of
our gcnevatioii. At tho end opposite the door,
in a spacious recess, surrounded by flowers,
stands the crhurnil Creek Slave, by Powers, as
fit presiding goddess for a temple praced by the
loveliness of the land. Above her, gracefully
entwined, weie the Stars and Strips1) and the
tri-color thope plorious ensimis that have floated
over victoiics on the two continents.
In addition to these Fpaeious apartments there
were others of less size. In one tho.se fond ot
the caid table were enjoying their favorite
game. In another a host' of politicians were
discussing whether or not the President would
make further disclosures of his policy to-morrow
to the Virginia delegation. In "another,
which was evidently the boudoir of the Marchi
oness, several couples ot vomit people were
always engaged in earnest conversation; neither
should we loraet a recess in which a table was
graced by two huge punch-bowls, from which
two attendants were ever replenishing glasses of
a compound which appeared acceptable to all
who imbibed it.
Such another display ot beauty, ilare oi jewels,
fcLioiiner of silk and satin, and withal a grand
crowd and crush of crinoline, bus not been
known in Washington for many a day. Tho
generality with which the invitations had been
distributed in ollicial circles served to render it
more than ordiuanly marked and pleasant, and
brought together a company made up of the
members ot the House of Representatives, United
States Senators, J udues ot the Supreme Court,
the diplomatic corpsand all the generals and
admirals now in Washington, together with a
largo number ot distinguished oliicers of a lower
grade irom both branches of the service. Added
to these were the 6cions of many of the oldest
families of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and
Baltimore.
A marked feature was the preseuce of the offi
cers of the French inaii-ot-war, L'Amiral
SEstang, now at Anuapolis. They wore the
handsome naval uniform ot the Empire, with
the graceful epaulets aud tho brilliant decora
tions of the Legion of Honor. In the hall stood
a veteran boaUwuin, with his broad turned-over
collar, who appeared to take pride in tho cay
scene, and who was well pleased when any of
the pussing throng addressed a few words to him
jn the language ot La Belle France.

that, although the current of gentlefolk flowed
In more swiftly and voluminously as the hour
crew later, no one, however much a novice in
regard to the evening's programme, wa at a
moment's loss how to dispose of himself. For
the first two hours there was nothing especially
marked in' the entertainment save a confused
tide of beautiful women and their cavaliers as
they wended their way in and up the grand
Btuircaso to the rpthiua;-roonis, and later reap
peared lor vreseututiou to the Marquis and
jlurchioness Montholon, who received, as has
alreadv been noticed, In the lront drawing room,
immediately opposite the base ot the stairway.
Your respects paid to the hofit and hostess, an
enticing vibta ot luxury and enjoyment awaited,
turn which way j ou would. The special mart
and felicity ot this de Ughtlul event was undoubt
dly a result of the numbers aud variety of
classes through which the cards of invitation
hud been dill used. Hero were the majority o
members from both Houses of Congress, inanv
of the Justices of the Suoroaie Court bench, our
leading generals and naval ollicers, a dazzling
array ot diplomats ana celebrities in every di
tlnguishcd wulk and position in lite.
Crave Senators found themselves talking
courtlv nonsense to bowUchlnir vmmtr ludiea In
the sequestered recesses of an alcove; eminent
warriors aud stem old seudops chatted in knots
together, and fought many a battle over again
bv land and sea: loreigu aud native rlmlonifit.s
took more thau kindly to one another, aud

of tho throne: younger men, with IrresUt.ihU
lovely women, wexo treading buoyantly tno
measures or foreign ana uouiestn: daueeg to the
melody ot the Hottest strains, una over all hov
ered such a poesy of light, sharte, eolor. niirth
' congeniality, aud delight, lis would have tempted
an anehorlto from bio cell, and led a daughter of
the Church to forget her vow.
, After the first formal tour of the rooms a ma
jority of the compsuy tended toward the danc
ing snloon, wherein a particular set were already
blithely moving to the bewitching harmonica of
les lanctirs. This apartment above all the rest,
waa perhaps most noticeable pnd attractive.
Here was a ro pourri of broadcloth, lace, sa'in,
and brocade, animated and graceful, sureins:
hither aud thither, clvlng voice and gesture to
a syllabic refrain that bewildered and allure;.
You i nused upon the threshold struck Irom the
first with the eieya dVr.ucre that hung upon the
walls; but lower, and upon your bwn level, was
such a marvel ot loveliness and refinement that
the eve, once caught, could but surrender with
out diccretion.
Ki Within a circle, not magic, but gaylv alive
with begirded si rites snd handsome men, hedged
about with beauteous women and happy attend
ants, moved easily in and out tho mazes of the
dance. Music soit and inspiring issued from
within the recesses of a grove of rare exotic?,
through w hoso branches the symmetrical shape
of Powers' Creek Slave gleamed whito and
rigidly. Later tho gay multitude transferred
Itself into Hdiolnlng i?to.i, where promenades
were in vocue and delicious morsels were spread
to tempt thw appetite.
At midnigbt the tide of arrivals had ceased to
inundate the mansions, and rapidly departing
equipages had already initiated the ebb.
It would he invidious to criticize tho toilets of
the 'adic?, cppccittlly when so many of the ladies
belonging to the corps diplomatic were dressed
n la ritOdc r'c 1'ari.i. Miss Blanche Bntler, ot
MiiFsachur-etts, in white tarletan trimmed, with
a blue bod'ec tiimmed with flowers, was a de
cided belle, anO opened the ball with the first
Secretary of Ligation. Miss Blondem, of Mis
souri, in' a white tarletan speckled wilh gold,
ai.d with her raven hair powdered with gold
dut, was much admired.
Mi e Dcolittlf, 'f Wisconsin, young and fair,
Cfntrn.ded favorably with sonio of the more
af ed and overdressed, spinsters. Khode Island
was well represented by tho accomplished Miss
Ji neks, who was dressed in whito, withjjpearl
ornaments in her hair. One of Ohio's lairest
diiughtPis, Mls Einison, was deservedly ad
mired and chaiir.ingly dressed; and from the far
Pacific there wks Mi?s Haverly, of California,
whose ores was f.n ingenious' combination of
w bite rnusiin uud r.owers.
Taken as a whole, the ladies were dressed with
exquisite tiwte. and thoro was a brilliant display
ot Jewels, rich atid rare. The dresses were
alii.oGt invariably fieeh, uud evidently make tor
the occasion-; bi.t some of them will never be
wearable ayaiii, for ntuptd men will tread on
truil ng skiftri, t uvim out gat hoi's, nnd render
inc it ueccftary to retire to the dres?iug-rooni
hud repair damage?.
A noticeable feature of the entertainment was
the cordial truteiiii.ation of the politicians from
the Ciipiial. Senator Saubbury chatted cor
dially with Secu'or Wilson, while Representative
Boutwell held liiendly converse with Senator
McDougall. The L'eiuooratic Cue'phs and the
Republican Ohibcll-iies hobnc.bbed at the punch
bowls, while tlvi Western ecouoinisla sipped
champngue with tiio Eastern protectionists.
Judge Kelley. ot Pennsylvania, did not seem un
happy bccaui'O tho ball was "wi'hout distinc
tion of color;" while Mr. Blaine, of Maine, i in
proved his own constitution by partaking of tho
gastrouoinic delicacies.
As for the oiPccra oi the army and navy, tbey
went tl'i'oueh the triages of the dance a.s it' It was
a battalion drill, aud showed tho.-e at the supper
tables how to "lire and fall back." An enthusias
tic few, however, who wero mostly given to the
pleasures of the tcrpsicborean art. were plainly
of a mind to continue the hilarity of the occa
ricn by using the vacated space of thcif more
mcdoiato leilows in keeping it up to the small
hours when "daylight should appear." N. Y.
