Those present wero Mr, untl Mrs. N. C. Abbott, Mrs. John 11. Wright, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Wilson, Mr. and Mm. Edward Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. W. Wilson and Mr. R. A. Porry. Mr. (Irani nt Went Toliil. Mrs. Grant has passed a good part of this Boason at West Point, for which p(aco, owing to many associations of her lifc,Nsho seems to have u special fond ness, ifour government over did for ltB horoeswhat other nut ions do fre quently, anYict would bo puBsed provid iiiga.homefor Mrs. Grant on tho old Kini'y property. Ono of tho most Wuntiful Bites of tho many beautiful ones about West Point is a blutf pro montory ou which stands tho original Kinsley house, now in ruins. It is tho boldest point next to that occupied by Cranston's hotel on the west side of tho river, overlooking a neighborhood 'of tuiiguilleent country palaces ultotit Cliir rlHon's, and giving u grand view Ik(Ii tip ami down tho river. Tho Kinsley farm Is only utilized for gardens for tho tost, and would have abundant acreage for that purpose if a handsome little park of a dozen acres woro pet apart, and a commodious cottage erected for tho residence of tho widow ttf tlto greatest general of his ago, and twice president ttf tho United States. Fifty thousand dollars would erect a suitable house and outbuildings and put tho place in per fect order for it delightful resilience. Mrs. (Irani is Ity no means in atlluent circumstances; In fact, but tor tho hero ism that enabled her great husband to work, until life had all ebbed away, In tho production of his Itook, her only sou tee of revenue, she would bo practi cally penniless. For a nation so rich as ours tho trilling sum required to glvo Iter u homo that she would more than enjoy, for tho fow declining years ttf her life, is a bagatelle, ami would bo begrudged by no citizen; and thn com pliment would bo a graceful ono as well as an attestation that republics aro not alwavs ungrateful. I feel coulldent if somo member of congress would Intro duce a bill to carry out this idea, it would pass both houses without objec tion, anil receive tho cordial approval of the president. Town Topics. A Nn York IHiliutiwil, New York society Is all agog over tho prospective "coming out" of Oortrudo Vanderbllt, daughter of Cornelius Vnndorhilt.

Itoinn uf IntiToHl Coiii'oriilui; IVupIo niul TIiIiikn III llio Windy City, CituiAOo, Oct. 12.- Special Couitir.it Correspondence.--A teportersuw a man and three women studying the paintings in tho United States collection at. tlto world's fair tho other day. They were evidently far from home, or felt as it they were. Tito three women, as tho reporter soon noticed, wero almost always of the same mind, and stopped to look at tho same pictures. The man, it was evident, had a differ ent standard ttf taste. "Come on, come on; that's no good!" ho kept saying. Then ho would walk on. Finally ono of tho women said: "Now, boo hero, Soth, you just lcavo us alone, and do your own lookin.' Wo know what w o want to seo bettor'n you do." "Wnl," he said, "I know how to look at plctors, and you don't. I've foun'd out that when I've been ono of tho judges at our county fair. There wub ono rule wo always wont by. When a plctor tells its own story it's good. When you huvo to look in a Itook to find out what it is it ain't good. And you've been looking in that 'ore book to find out what all o' them pictors are. Now you just come on and look at the pictors that toll their own story, and you won't waste any timo." "I don't know but jou'ro right, Soth," sale the woman. Tho quartette startcJttwn tho room looking for storiOB in tho pivtures. My tlrst impulse was to laugh, butSho smile wub drowned in a moisture somvwhoro near tho eyes. Tho homely speedli was full of the pathos of ignoriiuce.A And after all, what attist would not belglud to know that IiIb luiieh hridA(0)d tho "story," with no need of ijejji from a l)ook? ' It always does tho ordinary man good to witness an exhibition of slmplo demo cratic lustra by a man of great wealth, but I am informed thnt tho chief clork In tho Colonies hotel, in Chicago, has not yot recovered from tho shock of ordering ton jorums of hot Scotch whisky for Mr. Willio K. .Vumlorbilt and a party of friends on ono of tho very cold nights of last week. Tho party ar rived in a couch on tho way home from' tho fuir, und it is to bo presumed that they all -tlto ladles Included enjoyed the hot Scotches; though tho hotel koepor, I undorstund, boat his brows in u fronzy of mortlflcution ut tho sight of JAKJ.. . S.k-. &, V t ' a man worth fJ200,000,000 treating his friends to so democratic a brand of re freshment. As thu party drove olT it was remarked in my hearing by young Mr. Diddle, of Philadelphia, who happened to bo standing by. that it was worth it journey all tho way from town to seo ho stunning u woman as Mrs. Willie K.drlvo by. That lady handled the ribbons ou the return journey, ami there wore no accidents. A select circle of busy Chicago people, who aro seldom ho Oiappy as when digesting it toothsome morsel of gossip, Is occupying its time just now, I hear, in speculating upon thu exact relation ship ttf ono of the windy city's most con spicuous millionaires and a tall and ex ceedingly handsome damsel who ac companied his daughter ami himself from tho other side ttf tho water when they last returned from abroad. The oung lady came, so I am told, as thu guest of tho daughter, ami fttr u long while visited at the millionaire's hand some South Side mansion. His wife, u lady ttf great sweetness of disposition, but whoso mental condition Is not of thu strongest, received tho visitor moBt cordially, aud made, I understand, no demur when tho latter commenced, in a most extraordinary way, to assume tho direction of tho alfairs of the household, as though it wero her legal right to do so. Stt marked did her inclinations be come in tills direction that the daughter and niece of tho capitalist ceased to speak to her altogether, notwithstanding which she continued to resitlo in the' house with tho full sanction and ap proval of Its master. Tho millionaire all this timo took no pains whatever to conceal his fondness for tho damsel's society, tho pair being frequently Been at tho theatre and other public places in eacli other's company. Thoro is also u pretty story illustrative of the rich man's groat generosity in towarding Ids fair friend for tho perfor mance of a service. "If," ho is quoted as saying to her somo months after iter arrival at the family mansion, "you will get I -," mentioning thu nuine of Ids niece, "married olT this winter, I'll inuko you a present or 82r,000." As tho young lady wub married very shortly afterwards it is to be presumed the handsome reward has long since been paid.
