Ny DEAR BENNETT - eNSt~ ~ E
l. Irealy dread having little friendly chat with
an old and esteemed friend like yourself. You
have no idea of the terror that rises up in the heart
OF man when he essays a few lines upon our
goodly city. q Since the last "emeute' produced by
| that Interchangeable Of yours, one is really
afraid OF "balls;" they have by no means SO harm-
less an appearance they once possessed Balls tor
two and coffee for one, instead of crowd. would
have been the order OF the day, had that luckless
wight been discovered. Report saith that certain
ones of the "mob of gentlemen who live at ease"
and frequent the club, had made up purse Of $1,000
to offer reward for the discovery of the daring
intruder who has the audacity to write
"Of the molly tribes who see not natures boons-
Save by The iesal light Of gay saloons"
Apropos of clubs. We have three established in our
moral ana sedate community; the club, ''par
excellence" has its "locum tenens" in M-n-m-nt
Square. looking out upon trophies, OF past valor
the club is OF eXclusives-men OF high degree as
well as OF high standing. On dat-but "el II not
IN Gath," that certain lectures OF the Caude class
have OF late become quite common to 'smembers
of the institution" bur the purposes OF The club
are for moral and intellectual improvement, me-
thinks the better halves should not make "night
hideous'' with their cries. There are two other
clubs organized, but
"who can be sarcastic upon thing SO small"
finale party OF the beau monde came off last Wed
nesday night, given by the lovely and charming
Miss II, Of N. Charles street, daughter Of old
Dick -
Miss Nh "wh the easy and the gentle grace
That so well became the sweetness Of her lace"
moved in her crowded rooms
- "A lovely Creature Ger our joys presiding,
Oar pleasures doubling and the heat dividing"
Not exactly correct, dear B , but answering the
purpose. Who were there? "Ah, there's the
| rub y" ITO speak or not to speak !" "cut damned
spot !-like Macbeth, the bloody past rises up be-
fore The usual frequenters ofsuch haunts were
there-precious distlllefs Of small talk sentinels
OF society with certain set phrases watch Words
spoken at proper interval and one dlscretion-"des-
philophcs blensage," who follow Faces advice 10
Dapper, "hum thrice and buz as often.''
Gen. Marriott, the gentlemanly Collector of the
Port, stll! stands unscathed amid the whrlwind
being made to put him out, but in their dictionary
they will find "that there is such a word as
fail" He gives satisfaction to all, and performs
his duty faithfully and well.
Great sympathy. has been expressed for the citi-
zens OF Pttsburg in their sad calamity; near $1,000
has been collected, with the prospect of as much

The Legislature Of Pennsylvania has given them
$50 900, and denied them the advantages of MAX

The serenaders having put off mourning, and cas-,
aside their sable gerb, present themselves in more
cheerful array, and are encored by large and bril-
