new figures in dancing and the Congress" after
much anxious reflection, came to the resolution Of
adopting . new quadrille, invented by dancing
master Of Prague of the name of Eichler. We may
imagine the Solemnity and dignity Of the proceed

perimnted on; the intense interest with which the
different Congressman exhibited their projects; the
