At all the royal courts ol Kuropo a
certain degree of etitjuetto is rigidly
enforced, as a mutter of course, and
tlio ceiemotiiul lorms and socinl dis
play incident thereto, vary with the
character of tho people and the tnslet
of tho sovereign. Uut royalty is tho
ultimnto of ntiKtocrncy, and to it all
must pay Uelcrenco. Ibe niloroo
mcnt of ibis defurenco is tho lite of
roytilty. At snme Kuropcan courts
matters of etiquette have caused seri
ous complications, threatened tho
safely of the state, and even imperilled
othcrwiso friendly relations with
neighboring governments. There tin
sel and lace are demanded bv tlio
usages of centuries, nnd required by
tho necessities of the forms of govern
ment. The talons of queens nnd prin
cesses nro mado resplendent with glit
tering ornamentation and costly dis
play. The American court nt Vash
inglon bos hitherto been free from
theso superficial indications of gran
deur, and tho plain citizens of tho
republic have been educated lo exer
cise perfect freedom, both as to stylo
of dross nnd manner of approach in
visiting tho temporary magnates of
tho nation, if only they were decently
attired nnd maiiraiucd becoming pro
priety of manners. Willi this sim
plicity of etiquette many of tho for
mer administrations of tho Govern
ment have been distinguished for tho
rare culture,, beauty und refinement
of their social surroundings. They
novo attracted to them tho noblest
minds of tho atrn, nnd ladies bare
graced their plain, homely parlors,
whoso queenly beauty, euso and grace
of tnunncrs, and cultivated minds
might have put to shumo the proudest
court of any aristorralic government
:.. .u- ..1.1 - i t rt.. I.'
in tho old world. Hero was the pride
and boast of the Republic that rcnl.
substantial merit alone was passport
to itivor nna social distinction,
even at Ilia Capitol, not the mere
accident of birth or tho chances of
fortune. ,
THE OA VLT1E8 Or THE FHEKF.NT SEASON.
Tho regular nnnnnl round of pleas
ure nnd social festivities in tho Capi
tol of the Republic, w-ns insnmn-ntod
during the last week by an unusually.
iioerul programme nt tlio lulu
House. On Tuesday Mrs. Grant gave
her first grand dreas reception in the
altornoon. On Wednesday evening
occurred Ihe first of the winter eones
of I'reaidenlial dinners. On Thursday
evening, tho President held bis first
levee. Tho inuugurulion of those
fashionablo dissipalions at tho White
liouso was anticipated with unusual
eagerness Ly the butterflies tbul
gather here for their winter's plena
ure nnd shop, the moro PO bcrnwo of
Iho prevalent expectation that tlio
Presidential entertainments iiromisrd ;
for this winter will bo far uhead of
mi miiig in uic pasv in poiui oi splen
dor and display. Not only hail tho
elegant siron of the Kxeeutivo Man
sion been extensively overhauled,
brushed up nnd refilled for theso en
tortitinn.eiits, but what ad led more to
their aUrnct'venois was H,c stvlo ui.J
pretension that eharttrterire j" them.

to ordinary mortals in common clothes,
nnd with a bow of imposing style,
admits tho visitor.
A OORUKOl'S APARTMMT.
Uut the portul passed, n tnoro bowil.
dcring cfTout awaits the visitor. The
grand vcslihulo of the Executive Man
sion, clittentiL' like the .iiacioua sa
loon! of Jim Kink's lioaton steam
boat", with gold leaf nnd bright colors,
presents a moro advanced idea of the
grandeur that has displaced tho Amer
ican simplicity (lint oneo graced this
uhodu. The uImhs screen senaratinir
tho vestibule from the muin corridor'
of tho mansion is n work of art of
which even tho Tuilerios niiirht be
pmnu. i no iron tramo is richly
bronzed, while tho glass presents the
choicest designs in all tho colors of
the rainbow. Tho lolly ceiling of the
apartment aurpussod in brilliant col
oring ana mincolluncouj groupings,
llrumidi's gaudy muster Jiieeo, which
adorns tho dome ol the Capitol. The

wiiiis, umo, are ri'iie!iueni wiiu ricn

Tho visitor is thereupon transferred
to another Gentleman in wailing,
similarly dressed, ns if for a wedding
roeeptlon, and following through a
cordon of like ornntnontnl appendages
of human grandeur, is conducted
through a door nt tho e.iRt. and up n

Uut first he is shown into nn onto

paid any attention to tho first princi

it nil merely the overdress of u wan

tho rooms present somo real eviden

In this Biimplous apartment sits a
little, fussy, cirrnmstantiul, self-important
individual, rejoicing in (he

consequential pieeo of insigiiifiennee is

bo has disposed of a room of visitors.

Noit her tbo red room, the green room,

FORBIDDEN GROUND.
Tho rango of parlors stretching
along tho back of tho mansion from
tbo state room to the east room, have
always been free to visitors until the
present time. Why they should be
closed now is incomprehensible, the
more so sinco Mrs. Grant bus caused

Tho room on the upper floor at the
southwest corner of tho house, form

into an olegar.t private parlor for Mrs.

to enjoy tho familiar converse of those

- HOW MRS. GRANT RECEIVES.
Mrs. Grant receives her familiar
friends in her private boudoir. More
formal callers are ushered into the
Kod i'tirlor. To seo the wife of the
Prcsidsnt is an undertaking of no
smull momont. The army of richly
dressed servants that fill tbo mansion
aro instructed to admit no one until a
card is presonted to Mrs. Grant. And
then it is required that tho applicant
for tho honor of paying his respects
to the wife of the President shall eith
er be accompanied by ttomo ono al
rcutly enjoying the acquaintance of
tha hostess, or have been proviousty
presented to her. Tho caller, more
over, must appear in full dress.

Fortunes Sunk in Farming.
J. J. Thomas says ho knows a far
mer over sixty years old, who bus
worked hard for more than forty years
He began with a good ono hundred
and fifty acre farm given him, but
subject to an incumbrance of about
ono-tliird of its value. This was a
good start. Ho is, uflcr a lupso of
lorty years, still in UcUt. Jle is tem
perate; had he not been, his farm
would have gono long ago. He has
worked hard ; had he not bo must
have failed, lie has been economical,
in its common meaning, or bo never
could have kept even with his credi
tors. What, then, has kept him back
in the world? Mr. Ttiomus has been
figuring up, and finds that ho has
virtually sunk three good estates by
want of management.
First. In wintering his cattle nnd
sbcep. Ho kept, gonorally, about
twenty cuttlo and no hundred sheep.
Tho cuttlo trod ubout three tons of
hay under foot each year, nnd each
consumed half a ton extra by exposure
to tbo winds in all thirteen tons,
worth Sill. This cxposuro of culllo
and calves reduced their size and
market value one-third annual in
crease, six head, and average vulue
lost, $!)ach Ten per cent o(
his sheep and lambs were lost by want
of shelter, and tho clip wns ditni'.iisbcd
twenty-five per cent, from tue same
cnusc total loss on sheep, per annum,
tbO. The whole ycurly lo on catllo
and sheep was, ihen 8!".). In forty
years this annual loss, w iih compound
interest, would amount to too.OUO.
Thus ono furtuno has been sunk.
Secondly. In want of good rotation
of crops. Jlc raised wheuul'lcr wheat,
outs ultcr oats, nnd corn after corn,
because the stubblo was mosteusily
ploughed, till his land was exhausted
and lull of weeds. Tho crops, as a
whole, scarcely paid his luoor. A
good rotution would have safely given
him one third more, which would
have been a tleur gain, on Iho aver
ago, of at lenst J5 an acre, on about
filly acres, yearly total, $260 a year
This loss repealed for forty years, and
interest, would amount to moro than
t.'iO,(Hll) 1 This was thu second fortuue
sunk.
Thirdly. In raising crops of weeds.
?omo of bis pasture held has a heav
ier growth of mulleins, tmt weed.
johnsworlh and thistles than ot grass;
consequently, at least halt Ins land
was wasted lo grow them. On fifty
