for holding the Ball, and about ten o'clock we
dropped in to see the gathering Of the faithful,
and to see who were to be Houston wire-pullers

witness one Of the first triumphs ofthe campaign
| The managers had that moment succeeded in
raising one half Of the funds necessary TO pay for
the hire of the room and the proprietor had so
far yielded his previous demand for all leash
down as to order the gas to be turned on. After
similar negotiations respecting one or two other
matters Of small account, the music sounded and
| the Ball CONGREGATIONAL in response TO the
spirit stirring music but nineteen feminines and
baby took their places on the floor. Alas
thought we, for the prospects Of Samuel, and we
passed down the stone steps with heavy tread.
Aswe turned through the ball, we observed one
of the managers intently examining a card on
which was printed the Order Of Dancing and
seeing that be was getting ried,' we stopped
to ascertain the cause. In answer to our inquiry,
he showed Us the card, and it required but little
penetration to discover the cause Of his ire The
managers had adopted as their order " the
same card used by the friends Of General Cass
but bad directed the printer to substitute Hcus'
toms name wherever Cass's occurred. THIS or

were thus given:

L. Qusdrle March dedicated to the Champion Of the
Union. Lewis Csss.

body equalled that of our friend, the Manager
when the fall extent Of this mistake flashed upon
him.
A NEEDED REFoRM,-The Directors Of the
Harlem Railroad Company have resolved that
thew will not hereafter allow any smoking on the
platforms of their city cars. This practice had
become so prevalent as to be very offensive, and
we have seen the conductors of the cars them

in the faces Of the passengers. The resolution TO
prohibit this filthy custom is good one, ana we
hope the company will adhere to 1t.
