President WathingtonV Recep tion at the White House. Friendly Qreetfnee of Citlxena. It Is Reoorded, Greatly Pleaeed the First Chief Executive. "In the Republican Court" volume published In 165 by D. Appleton A Company dealing with the administra tion of Washington, appears the fol lowing Interesting description of New Year's activities of 1700, and partic ularly the manner of observing Mew Year's at tbe White Houses where Martha Washington, the eter-coo-slderate spouse, dismissed her guests at 0 o'clock In order that ber "gen eral's" iiumber might not be interfered 'With: . -' -; The winter f 178040 was warmer than any which the oldest Inhabitants could remember. in the last week of December and the first of January gardeners and farmers on the island of Manhattan were plowing, and women appeared in the etreeta of the city In .ttaelr summer dresses. The pleasant custom of making New Tear's calls had long obtained la most of the countries of continental Europe, and It was brought to Mew York by both the Dutch and the Huguenots, who bad preserved It as one of their peculiar Institutions, which never could be naturnllted in towns of a more purely English origin and "population. o Oo Friday, the nrst of January, 1790, we are informed by the late venerable John Plntard, who was then a young man of fashion, and a close observer, the president van waited upon by the principal gentlemen of the metropolis. The day was uncommonly mild and agreeable, even for thai year of perpetual verdure, and the great festival of friendship was never kept more universally or with a livelier grttrftetrtton. The visitors of the President, after an Interchange of the usual salutations of the day, withdrew,' delighted at bis gracious manner. Washington's Stately Bearing. . It Is not knowo, though Mr. Plotard assures as that a majority of them were personally unacquainted with htm, that there were any to complain of such a stately baarln as about this TOMB OP yrll. - It-: tune alarmed a sagacious colonel from Virginia for the safety m; the repabllc. This colonel bad traveled, and after at tending one of the receptions of the President be declared, at the table of Gov, Beverly Randolph, In Richmond, that "his bows were more distant and stiff" then any he had seen at St James's. A correspondent Informed Washington of the fearful apprehen slons thus awakened, and he replied "That I have not been able to make bows to -the taste of poor Colonel Blank, who, by the way, I believe, never saw but one of them, Is to be regret ted; especially as, upon that occasion, they were Indiscriminately bestowed and the best I was master of. Would it not have been better to throw the veil of charity over them, ascribing their stiffness to the effects of age, or to the unsklllfulness of my teacher, py Martha Washington as She Appeared In 1790, (From an Old Engraving.) rather than to pride and dignity of officer Mra. Washington's Levee. Mrs. Washington held ber levee, as on other Friday evenings, but on no previous occasion bad one been graced with so much respectability and ele gance. The air was almost as gentle aa H should be In Hay, and the full moon shone so brightly that the streets to a late hour were filled with a de licious twilight It was not the cus tom for visitors of the president to WASHINGTON, AMERICAN NATIONAL (HRINI sit, but It appears from Mr. Pltitard'a diary that, an this night, at least, there were chairs In the rooms where Mra. Washington saw her guests, for "after they were seated," tea and coffee, and plum and plain cake, .were dispensed by the attending servants. Bhe re marked, while speaking of the day's occurrences, that none of them had so pleased the genersj (by which title she always designated her husband) as the friendly greetings of the gentle men who called upon him st noon, To an Inquiry by the President whether such observances were casual or customary, It was answered that New Year's visiting had always been maintained in the city. He paused a moment, and then observed: "The highly favored situation of New York will, in the process of years, attract numerous emigrants, who will gradual ly change Its ancleut customs and manners; but, whatever changes take place, never forget the cordial and cheerful observance of New Year's day." Mrs. Washington had stood by his side as the visitors arrived and wera presented, and when the clock hi the halt was oeara striking v, sue aa- vented, and with a complacent smile said. "The general alwuya retires at 0, aud I usually precede him;" upon which all arose, made their parting salutations, ami withdrew. TREASURE COMMON TO ALL Fame and Character of Washington Honored In AH the Countries of the tarth. Webster, this nation's greatest ora tor, said; "Inspiring auspices, this dsy, sur round us and cheer us. It Is the suol- versary of the birth of Washington. We should know this, even If we bad lost our calendar) for we should be reminded of it by the shoots of joy and gladness. The whole atmosphere Is redolent of bis name ; hills and for ests, rocks and rivers, echo and re echo his praises. "Ail the good, whether learned or unlearned, high or low, .rich or poor, feel, this day, that there la one treas ure common to them all, and that la the fame and character of Washing ton. They recount big deeds, ponder over his principles and teachings, and resolve to bo mere and mora guided hv thm In the fotnre." "WliiMn of the West lo Ran 18 Weeks at Pacific Show House.-.

' THE BLUB BIRDS Mother, where do the froggies stay When the leaves fall down and the woods are gray? I have not heard their croaking song For days and days, it seems so long- Daughter, they have gone to bed Beneath the frogpond's Icy crest, Tucked neatly in their little bed, They sleep and take their winter rest, Waiting the warm spring, summer rain To bring them back to life again, Mother, where do the blue birds go, When the fields an covered with ice and mow? Do they go down beneath the Ice Where the frogs are cuddled up so nice? Oh,' oo, the blue birds do not stay Where It Is cold with snow and lea. They take their wings and fly away To where the sunshine's warm and nice And there beneath ttie shady bowers They spend the winter's sunny hours, Mother, let's go where the blue birds stay Where the sun shines warm, Is it far away? Let's keep ahead of the Ice and snow And follow them up' when o'ro they Oh, no, my child, they go so fast They'd be out of sight and in their park And we'd be turning back at last And have to walk home In the dark, And you'd be crying and hungry, too. I just don t know what I would do. Mother, I think It just the same Daddy could tako his new airplane. If their homo was far so you can't see to it Daddy I'm sura would beat them to it. -J. W.
