The Calico CHARITY BAII--No so,r,e dan
sante Of any kind-no fremen's, or military, or
fancy dress bali-not even the masquerade balls
at the old Park theatre-has ever been 30 sue
cessful, 20 original 30 notce, as the great Calico
Charity Ball at the Academy on Thursday. Not
only was 1t splendid success in money and
clothes and goods for the poor and destitute of
the city, but as an entertainment IL is pro-
nounced by all who were 80 fortunate as to par
ticipate in it, to have been the most agreeable
public ball ever given here. Wonderful as it
may seem, this opinion is unanimous, both with
the public and the journals of the day. Under
these circumstances, we suggest that before the
winter is oyer smother ball Of the same kind
shall be gotten up for the benefit of some Of the
other charitable societies of the city. After the
brilliant success Of the first ball. there can be
no doubt about the triumph of the second

acted They were gentlemen, bound by the
forms and conventional scrupies of their order,
ohivalrous to nicely, and abhorring all vul-
gar appeals TO force. They were not the less
vehement or the less effective as politi-
cal opponents, because they did not care
to use in debate the argument of the
pistol the cane or the fist. When they
quarrelled, they carried their quarrels out of
the tribune, and did not shock public decency
or outrage the dignity of the Legislature by
the exhibition of brute violence. There is no
reason why, at a more advanced stage of po-
litical enlightenment and refinement, our public
men should retrograde in manners, and offer
such marked parallels to the conduct of the
ring and the cockpit. When in the widest and
most frenzied scenes in the National Assembly
of France, or in the 6ercest and most exciting
political conflicts in the English House of Com
mons. we can md no instances of personal col
lision between their members, it reflects but
little credit on the self-respect and dignity Of
our legislators that they cannot keep their fists
of each other in miserable squabble about
Kansas.
We hope and trust that the ridicule and scorn
which this last legislative ARRAY will excite both
here and abroad will have the effect Of osol-
ing down the pugnacious temperaments of our
representatives, and Of awakening them to
sense Of what they owe to the public and to
their own position. Let them reflect that the
disgrace of their conduct falls not only upon
themselves, but upon their constituents. If they
have the least feeling of patriotism they will
also bear in mind that their every action is
watched with scrutinizing eye by the enemies
of republican institutions abroad, and that
every error that they commit will be eagerly
seized upon as an argument against them. As
republicans then, as well as Americans, they
owe it as duty to the world to restrain their
evil passions and to guide themselves by the
laws that should regulate gentlemen. In a
legislator, under our peculiar form of govern
ment, imperfections of education, and even
ignorance, may be occasionally excused, but
blackguardism never.

6nanciering. have got into great trouble but
the bulk Of those corporations TOO are the better
for the pinch, which has forced them 10 show
their hands and cease to borrow money at
extravagant interests. Altogether, were it
not for the comparative stagnstion Of trade
and The very low prices at which staple articles
of merchandise are cling. one could hardly
tell that we had been no lately through fear
full financial reyulsion.
We see already pslpsble signs Of whole
some recovery. The banks of New York, which
do over one-third the business of the country,
are increasing their discounts and affording
every facility to young houses to embark in
trade. The business of the Clearing House is
decidedly increasing. This was to be expected.
The effect of the revulsion was to force specie
to the great financial centres; so that instead of
sixty millions, which il the usual average, our
banks now hold over eighty three millions, of
which New York has thirty, New Orleans ten,
and the balance is scattered over the country.
All this money could not lie idle. We have
seen, and are still seeing Its effect upon the
stock market, in reviving confidence, and in
fating every dividend paying security; though
this may. and naturally will continue through
out the spring and summer, the stock market
cannot, alone, afford employment for such
amounts of capital as are now lying idle in the
banks. Trade alone can make ii pay interest,
and trade is accordingly on the mend.
The signs Of the times indicate that we are
On the eve of new imitation greater than the
last; that stocks are going up-the good ones
first, and the trash afterward; that after the
stock market has been inflated to some ridicu-
lous extent commerce. which is now struggling
toward recovery, will suddenly spring into its
old activity and we shall see progress such as
the country has never known before.

The BANKS AND THE FUTURE.-The resump-
ton Of the Baltimore banks may be considered
as closing the era Of financial dshonor which
began in October Last. At the present time, all
our banks are in line; all pay specie; and with
few trifing exceptions, all seem to be the
sounder and the stronger from their trial during
the crisis. The proportion failed banksis not
one per cent of the whole and we have reason
10 believe that the proportion of loss which the
banks will sustain with paper they hold will not
be more than two per cent of the entire amount
The balance Is being paid off regularly by in
stalments, notwithstanding that the enormous
depreciation in the value Of all leading articles
of commerce obliges merchants to undergo ter.
rible sacrifices to fulfil their engagements.
Thus Il may be seen that the actual loss TO
the country by the crisis--the list Of killed and
wounded-is really very slight. Two per cent
Of the mercantile houses are said to have failed;
and of these a large proportion have already
resumed and will pay in full. The banks may
lose two per cent on the paper they have dis
counted. This is all. A few railroads, by bad

about 2l years old, and his victim 24 years
At the time Of the murder, which was effected
by mixing some arsenic with some cough syr-
up.
The murderer, who was "A school teacher.
and his victim, bore respectable characters,
and were of good families. The testimony
was, that being under engagement to marry
Sarah, and having effected her ruin, he had
conceived passion for her sister Helen. and
was thus anxious t. get his first victim out of
the way This he was all too successful in
accomplishing. For four long days and
nights he stood over a writhing woman. sim

that time his murdcrous hand was hardly

SHOCKING PARRICIDE AT DRACuT.-A young
man named Frank Heath, and his sister
Miriam York Heath, have been arrested at
Dracut Mass for the murder of their father on
Saturday night last. lie was an intemper-
ate man, and often quarreled with and beat
his children. According to the daughters 5
-ontession, she had endeavorcd to poison him,
10y giving him tea made of Apple of Peru,
which he drank, as she thinks, in sufficient
quantities to cause death, if he had been let
alone. But the son on Saturday night, shot
him through the head whilst he was sitting
in his chamber, and towards morning buried
him in the shop, by digging hole sufficient
ly deep to receive his naked body, and COW
cring him over with earth. As both say,
the work of burying was done Sunday In
the morning, when inquiries were made for
the old gentleman, they finally confessed that
they had murdered him. They seem to have
but very faint conception of the enormity of
the offensc Of which they have been guilty,
and have spent but little time in grieving over
their detection, or in lamenting the awful
consequences

The SETTLEMENT OF SMALL Accounts, al
ways a matter Of Importance, rises 10 the dig
nifty ofa virtue in times of disaster and Of the
suspension of business The men who hold
these small bills are generally in greater need
Of the money than those who have larger de-
mands, and they can less afford to wait for
settlement, To postpone them, AZ is often
thoug htlessly done by men who mean to pay
them ultimately, may be an act of positive
cruelty, and it is II greater Inconvenience and
privation than it would be to pay half
and repudiate the balance. The payment of
one small bill enables the receiver to pay an
other and that receiver another bill, and the
process OF liquidation goes on till that one
payment settles an amount of Indebtedness
that would be something alarming if present
ed in single sum.
The habit and the example of promptly
paying small bills are Of great value. Great
debts man may not always be able to meet
at maturity, but the bills for personal and
family expenses should never be allowed tp
get behind, They pile up frightfully, un-
less you keep pulling down the accumula-
= ,tion they are due generally to men who
cannot afflrd to wait for the payment, and
who rely upon them to pay their own bills.
Many tradesmen who do large aggregate
business have all their accounts in small
sums, on the prompt collection of (which they
depend TO meet their notes and other obliga-
teons. Every sensible man will feel more
comfortable to have his small bills settled
iven although it draws his bank account
down, or restrains him from some expendi-
ture which he may hereafter regret as much
as he is now eager for it.
The early part Of January is the time
when these most unwelcome visitors most OPP

have been enjoyed, and that must now be ap-
peased OF they will haunt us forever. They
