The ocoloS?T?ticftl season of Lent is tho tuno when society refraining from the gavette* and pomps of fleshly ni?a?mas i? mi ppi .-,?,] to und does meditate on more Mnoustnlnc?. Variou? degrees of strict, tiess aro olieerved, and whether or not it ie conformed to ycrfe.tlv the influence is most Mlutory to all classes. It would ???t? that Lent would only affect the Catholic and Episcopalian re. ligion? that observo it, vat by contact all d?nominations feel it? influence. THaT? TOOK lamfl WALK*. Not many years ago thero was a certain brilliant set in society who claim to have Rotten far more pleasure and erfjovmont out of Richmond society than has ever boon equalled since. They often tell our .Tenne*sc floree that what 'is. now called a "good time" wttuld hardlv lias.? muster for entertainment in "their dav." Even in Lent their pay spirits were only slightly trammelled by the rigor of that austere asBBXBk Kurlv services were then largely attended by nil tho young men und women iu society. After a decorous observance ?>f the servie???, aaek young man would join the lad ? wit* whom be had ?a engagement to aeoompauy her home. Often if Lent fell later in the ?tinn?.? and the morning happened to be espeoially lovely this walk was much prolonged and nn iuvitntion to breakfast at tho home of the young lady would follow. LcTiteu breakfasts were then extremely popular. Abont eight or ten couples would assemble by invitation nt the home ot some popular belle. A merry timo was enjoyed. MTSir BIT 1*0 TJANCTNO. Rince society must b* amused even in its time of penance a certain class of enter? tainment? have been decided en regie for that period. Dai.cing is of course rigor ouslv prohibited, M are atoo public amuse? ments?stage pl?vs. Musical performances are largely attend, ed during Lent. The banjo and guitoT enter largely in tho home pleasures of Lent as do also cards ?Dd all the new games. Catholics observe Lent most closely. All good Episcopalians attend service once, if not twice, everv day during Lent and also olteerve the fast day?. It is large!? the custom to deprive one's self of luxuries and pleasures at chts season. Toung ladioe frequently announce at the beginning of Lent that they will not at? tend tho Theatre or eat candy during Lent. Music has been the absorbing pleasure ?sf society the past week. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Leo Wheat gavo a superb orgun recital at Park-Place rhurch, which was crowded with fashiona? ble people. That evening he gave ? m?**? ea'e at the residence of Mr. James It. Paco, at which there was a brilliant gathering. On Thursday evening Dr. and Mrs. White gave a most enjoyable mutacaiV. THE COattNO CONCERT. The Philharmonic concert which will be, given OB next Tuesday evening gives every indication of being the most brilliant of the st rie?*. Mane Decker, whose singing has created ? furor ot admiration in Huston and New York, has also been tho recipient of most flattering attention in society circles, having had several entertainments given ber, comes again to Kichnioud to eing at tho Philharmonic Signor Maina, a celebrated baritone, has also been eecured. The appearance of tbe ladies attending theno concerts in full dres? adds greatly to tho brilliancy of the house. It is erroneous to suppose the 1 nil harmonic is antagonistic to any other mu? sical organizations. The object for which this scries of concerts was begun was to raise fund? forthat worthy chanty, the Woman's Christian Association. PHYSICAL CULTURE. This is ?subject that is absorbing a large amount of attention in society test now. Tho classes at tho ?el videro by Miss Weeks aro crowded with representative youug ladies iu society. The Literary Cluti held a meeting at the residence of Mr. Janus Alfred Jones on Friday evening. After a brilliant paper on George Eliot, oy Mr. Phillip Bru-??, was read refreshments were served. Mis?

The debate on the ?ubicct (lixcln-sert the fact that both the Centro and the Freisinnige partie? were strongly ?>ppo??d to conceding the amounts required for the construction of the two or three gunboats- one ironclad and one dispatch boat. Tlie o,uestion itself, though not of ?triknur import, became one of se none moment for the Government when the two partie? combined to oppose in? crease of the n.vy on general principies. TUR OOVEItNMr.NT'g tlKTilOT.?. During the week past the Ministers en? tertained ut, dinner the leaders ot the < eatre potty, and the Emperor bestowed personal courtesies upon several influen tiiil members of the Ueichstag.

EVEN RKASONAI'.LE DEMANOS RESISTED. Since the committe?> of the House heard of Admirai Hollmun'a lr.ink disclosure of the Admiralty's project t?> raixo Gcrmanv to the rank of a great naval pow?r the Keichstag has been thoroughly alarmed and it has been difficult to persuade that body to concedo even reasonable demand?. It was painful to hear Chancellor von Ca pnvi yesterday evenine plead the necessity for two more gunboats to guard the ap? proach??? to the llaltic canal. Dr. Wind thorst. the Centrist leader, contended that the canal would not ho completed before MM, and that the building and equipping of gunboat? could well wait. 8BBJ aas r.Bxi?r.MT's last nr.soRT.

II? would ?im plv ask the member? to refer back tlie vote to tho committee. As a last resort the Government was prepared to strike off a sufficient amount from the instal? ments allotted for the construction of four great ironclads to enable the naval au? thorities to build two gunboats. THE UOVEKNMTNT's IBACTICAI. DEFEAT. On motion of baron Manteuffel, th?? mat? ter will a'.iiin be referred to the committee on Monday, the Government having sus? tained a decisive check to its ambitious ?eherne for a navy. The action of the House clearly declares that national opin? ion is adverse to anv attempt to make Ger? many ? great naval power, and that any contest -with a foreign power must be fought out on land. SWa EMI FUOR ????0?7???? DISSATISFIED. The F.ntHTor William is very much dis? contented ovr the defeat, of his cherished id'-aof S grand nary. He lay? the blame for the defeat noon the indiscretion of Admiral Hollinan in making hi? disclosure? and Chancellor von Caurivi'e want of par? liamentary tact. Admiral Hollman has offered to resign the secretaryship of the Admiralty. 'Ihe position of ?'?? ('aprivi is enderstood to no critical, although the Emperor ought not to blame the Cn?nc?'l lor for following hi? order? with a fair <li? t>lay of ?kill or for the reverse in the nT?iihrtsg ? AII1IVI G?????G??.? t? t?t?. Succeeding the episode of the Empress Frederick's visit t?> Paris end the menacing lnbor conflicts, imperial circles consider the Chancellor aa Biwble ti? control the combination and point to hi? early down? fall. VOS WAT.DEERrX IN FAVOR, The Emperor has openly taken Count von Walderaee into favor. The Count has twice been called from Altona during the past week and yesterday was grunted a prolonged audience by tho Emperor. It is entirely improbable that he will succeed Chancellor von ('aprivi unless Emperor William contemplates a sudden leveieal of his present policy. Some momentous change is felt in the air, and an ataoe? phere ?if anxious expectancy enwraps offi? cial circle?. This Emperor, it is believed, contemplate? a str.ujger foreiern policy, together wiHi u return to the rigorous sys? tem of Socialist, repression practiced by Prince Hismarck. MsMARCKIANUUI TO THE FRONT AOAIN. The signs of a readoption of the Prince's methad of government have given rise to reports that the Emperor has onenod com? munication with tho ex-Cbanoellor. Court circles credit General TonWedeu-Pieedorf, who has ostensibly KOBO to Copenhagen on privat?? basiaeas, with barine been sent by tho Emperor on a mission to Friedrichs? ruhe. Tho ministerial reaction against Uberai principles in dealing with labor questions is an undoubted fact. Til!'. DEMANDS OK THE MINEES. The A'? ?chsanirt?er, in denouncing the de mauds of tho miners in the Government pi's, wan? tho men that if the strikes are resumed they will be rigorously repressed. The Congress of Mine-Owners' delegates now in progress to-day resolved unani? mously that it was impossible to grant the demands of the men and that it would be reprehensible to endeavor to bring about a general striko. THE MINERS' THREATS WILL NOT AVATU The congress further declared that the threat? of the men to go on a strike will noi indnoe the mine-owners to make any ions. The attitude of the miiie owner? has the support of the Govern? ment. The authorities of the mining dis? tricts of Westphalia and tho Khino pro? vinces have 1>.? ? ordered to consult with the directors of the mines with a view to the alontionof concerted measures against the strikers.

A section of the Ministry wants to have Lord Derby m praiideat, and to limit the inquiry within the narrowi?st practical hounds.
