A Grain Blockade in Manitoba.
The remarkably plentifhl harvest of
Manitoba and the limited faeilities
the approaching "season is unusually
radiant It already reflects its glow
over the whole city, and is ,prophetic
of a reign of polities and gayety such
as will cast a -shadow over .remomber-
atices ofprecedin.; congressional sess-
ions. Many of the people who possess
wealth, culture., andleisure, and make
Washingten.,their 'winter resort, have
already returued, "'.They wilt ',soon the
followed by a general rush from all
.parts ef the P.01111%.y. Then the kali
negins.• Congress and society -will vile
for supremacy. The former will anter -
est, the latter will dazzle. The power
;of society in Washington has to be
seen to be appreeiated, It eserts a
:strong control- even over official life,
and it power cannot be broken or dis-
,sembled. It reigns over Congress, in
;that it lures both Representative and
•tienator away from their duties at the
'Capitol. Not infrequently does the
,House of Representatives await a quor
um until its truant members can be
•girresced in the enjoyment of "high tea'
.or ball at Mrs. Secretary So-and-So's,
.and return captive by the Sarges,nt-st.
Arms. The monarchs of this power_
the society leaders—will -drain
every-. nerve this season to increase'
•its magnetism, aod they promise a suc-
xession ofentertainments Km a scale
;that as not heretofore been attempted.

All Washington, and by that I mean
the combination of seeial and official
'flifeat he Capitol, has been to the
-races the past week. The race season
;is indeed a .,alattime here. Fashion,
iftbitsmeaern tastes, is a great pat -
of the turf, and „fashion nowhere
rules with greater sway than in her
.oawn.stronghold at the Capital of the
.Natim. Here a comparatively great,
proportion of the population can afford
qujor themselves without regard of:
.cost..4qalrgo,-they all go the races and
loselheir inoney: Reads .of Depart-
InetAs, Chiefs of Bureau, down to the

taken. The cut of their trouser, the
shape of their collars, and their kalei-,
Alesoopic neckties .usually afford rutich
a4(Sinsement. The diplomat ,must be
