An Ohio editor gives his views of sew
cral dances which he witnessed at the
Inauguration Ball at ashington, thus:
The want Of variety in this mctropoli-
tan dancing wns, however, fully made up
by the fancy things, such as the waltz
and polka.
Those were absolutely barbarous.-
The old fashioned waltz, the morality of
which CvCu Byron raiirt in question, is
here ignored a. altogether too cold and
distant The lady there lays her head
on the gcntlcman's bosom, puts one hand
into his, and the other in his cOat.tail
pocket then resigns herself to his en-
brace, and goes to sleep, all but her
feet which, when not carried by him
clear of the floor, goes patring round on
her toes. Tho gentleman thus entwined,
throws his head back, and his eyes up,
like dying calf his body bent in the
shape Of a figure 1, ho whirls, backs up,
swings around, swoons, to all appearan-
ccS, pushes forward, and leaves the ring
to the delight of all decent people. :.

Ho'c ale Strengthened Him.-We be.
licvc we have got hold of an original anec.
0Otc that never was printed before. A
student at one of our State colleges had q
barrel Of ale deposited in his roOm--cOn.
trary, Of course, to rule and usage. He
received summons to appear before the
President, who said:
'Sir, l ann informed That You have a
barrel Of ale in your room :"
Eyes sir"
"Well, what explanation have you to
givey"
why, the fact is, sir, my physician
advises mo to try little each day a. 9
tonic, and not wishing to stop at the va.
riOus places where they retail the bever.
age, concluded to havea barrel brought
TO my roon."
"lndeed, and have you derived any
benefit from tho use Of itI"
"Ah, yes, sir. When tho barrel was
first taken to my room, two days since,
could scarcely lit it. Now I can carry
it with the greatest case"

charged without special reprimand. Al

Some years ago, during . .saiouEn, n

of Col. G. The Colonel was one OR ShOSe
in whose breast the milk of humsH kind
ness overAewed. II Ras his snis tnne
that he was never able to say no ]: and to
so great an extent was this weakness car
ricd, that it had become . notorious kct
that the Colonel would lend money to
any one on the first asking, rather than
refuse it. SO often had his good nature
been imposed upon, that he had establish-
cd rule for his own government, which
he was always careful TO explain to sppIi-
cants for funds, and usually did 90 alter
the following style Want ten, do your
well you can have it; but when can you
pay it back? You see, I've got q great
deal of money loaned out around, and /
like to keep it circulating, but IKE to
know just about the time when it's going
to get round back to me, and hate 70 be
disappointed; a man that diaptcdstm
once never gets any more money from
me-"
Thus, it became notorious tl1aECol. G.
would lend money to any one on the first
asking, and if they were prompt IN tho
repayment they could "takc him for his
pile, at least, so it was supposed.
Acting upon this supposition, one K,
a notorious gambler, applied to flie Colo
mel one day for hundred dollars, rather
doubtful Of his success, however. Col.
q. was staggered, but catching his breath,
and overcome by good nature, he replied:
"Want hundred certainly, you can
have it; hut when will you pay me baclf
always want to know when my money
is coming in, as Iwant to use it elsewhere.
Fix your own day, but be prompt on the
day you fix, for man who dfsappOints
me once never gets any more money from
mel"
X. took the money, promising to return
it on the following Wednesday: and.
punctual to the day and hour, ne did re-
turn it-borrowing from all his friends to
do so. According to supposition. his
credit was thereby opened with the Colo
mel to any extent; and two weeks after.

ment, and wanting stake for himself, he
applied boldly to g., nothing doubling
his success. "Coloncl, let's have Q COUP
