BALL or THE YoUsG MEs'S DEMOCRATIC UNION
CLuB.-The sixth annual ball of the Young Men
Democratic Union Club took place last night, at the
City Assembly Rooms. The heavy and frequent rains
during the day and evening were considered unfavo:
able for large attendance yet despite this, the spa
cious ballroom was filled with select company OF
ladies and gentlemen, who danced the night away.
Dodworth furnished the music. Speeches were dis
pensed with at the supper much to the qualification OF
the dancers. The entertainment was in every way
creditable to the Committee under whose auspices it
was gotten up.

Skating for the Ladies.

We do not believe there is any better mode of
feminine exercise in the world than skating. In
the tirst place it is eminently heathful and in
the next, we know nothing more strikingly grace
full than the attitudes of young women, in that
bracing and blood-reddening pastime. The
dance is nothing to it &; not half so animating,
or bewitching, if we may use the strong Ian
guage of the very young people. When we re-
commend anything to the ladies', it is very fit we
should always keep in veiw those ideas of grace
which must necessarily have such great infu-
ence over them. A young lady, in neat, sue
cinct dress, balancing herself on delicate pair
of skates, and gliding along, beside father
or brother, or in the midst of merry group,
would show thousand times more attractively
than another tripping down Broadway in all
the glory of balloon petticoat, and the evasive
little bonnet of the Empress's pattern. There
is no indelicacy in such an ice amusement, where
ladies are properly attended, and know the
movement Female skating is no novelty for
in one of the lands of our forefathers (Holland,
the milk maidens, with their pals on their
heads, are described as gliding over the ice with
rare speed and security. Others, of higher
order make skating their amusement. In this
country, where women become so pale, thin, and
and unhealthy, for want of the exercise which
the sex accustom themselves to in other parts OF
the world, the custom of teaching the girls tc
skate, as well as the boys, is one greatly to bt
desired American ladies are high spirited
they, also like little innovation in tho rough
direction of the stronger SEX Well, here il
what will help suit there ideas of change
Something which, as we said before, will hel,
to make active children grow into healthfu
women, and at the some time, give them the co
lor and developement-the grace and the sym
metry which, we hope, will always be the char
acteristics of the gentler sex.-Putnam's Mag
azine. --....

Then and Now.

Ed. FIREMAN. a matter of curiosity,
send you the following scrap record of some
proceedings in Massachusetts Legislature, which
will, considering the present high position Of
that State upon Temperance matters, be a mat
ter of curiosity.
In l776, the Massachusetts, Legislature passed
Il resolve proposing conference of Commit
tee from the New England States relative to the
public currency and that the Committee on
Governor Trumbull's letter be instructed to
propose conference of Committees, respecting
the public currences and also take into cOnsid
Grafton what measures said states may united
ly enter into respecting monopOHes and the high
prices of goods and necessaries of life, and such
other matters as are of general concern to the
New England States, and not interfering with
the authority Of the Continental Congress"
Jan. LIT. Rations for officers and soldiers,
by resolve of the Legislature, " half pint
of rum per man every day, and discretionary
aHOpance on extra duty and in time of engage
ment."
Feb. 7, TIT. Resolved, That whereas all
the rum in Massachusetts is needed for the sup
ply of the army and the inhabitants of this
state, forfeiture of the vessel and cargo is
imposed for the expectation of the same out Of
the state; also forfeiture of all teams that
shall be engaged in conveying rum out of the
state.
May 8, l777. Whereas, in the resolves
prohibiting expectation of rum, distilled spirits
is omitted, by means of which great damage has
already accrued to this state, and much more
damage is likely to acrue, therefore resolved,
that the expectation of all distilled spirits out
of this state is prohibited in the same manner
as rum"
March "a, 1856. The Massachusetts, Legis-
lature instructed the Treasurer of the Common
wealth to exchange all the Continental money
in the Treasury of a rate of more than fifty Of
the said Continental dollars for one dollar Of
final settlement certificates, in which the inter-
est is due from the year 1888.

IN the London Atheneum. The people there are
mighty hunters, but mightiest among them was
anna Petrovnaia, the scourge of bears-young,
sum, hrm-footed, pretty, powerful and active.
In glrlhood she had sailed out to emulate her
brothers and bring home bearskin. It was
the practice of this Amazon to track the terri
Die game herself, and once, hearing that a huge
olack bear had been seen in neighboring for
est, she rose before dawn, rode thereto and dis
mounted, and found his trail
g There was heavy dew on the grass in the
open glades, and she observed that Bruin was
taking his mVrning ramhle. his track being quite
fresh Looking to the printing Of har rife and
adding powder from her flask, she went on with
firm step. The bear had made many turnings
on his march, but she followed him with all the
sagacity of bloodhound, and never once lost
his trail. However after hour passed, however,
and she had not caught glimpse of him. As
1t threatened to be long chase, Anna had re-
course to her little bag, sat down by small
stream and made her breakfast on piece of rye
bread, washed down with draught from the
pure liqnid flowing at her feet Having ended
her frugal meal, she shouldered her rifle and
again pushed on She had another long and
frultless walk. Satisfied, however that she was
on his track, she pursued it till she arrived at a
bed OF high plants, that included the giant fen
mel, Of the flowers of which the bears are very
fond.
While proceeding along the edge of this bed,
fresh indication, well known to hunters, as
sured her that the long-sought-for game was at
hand. As she was creeping cautiously forward
out rushed the bear, with a loud growl, about
twenty yards in front. Quickly she threw for
ward the prong of her rifle, dropped on hel

her, almost motionless. She now touched thC

sire and dam have cast their reckoning, and
made the last entry in their log booksR Let

Musgrave was over-awed by the stern demean-
krof Clovis and consenteesthat TIE child ol|euld

1t was agreed that the three able-bodied men
could not sail the ship if desired. They there
fore determined to run for the Nova Scotian
coast, and when in sight of land, launch q
boat, scuttle the ship, and steer for shore. On
the following day they came in sight of land,
and accordingly launched boat, put on board

The Patagonians are naturally race of wild
hunters, living more on horseback than on foot,
and are as skillful in the pursuit of game as
the far-famed Indians of North America. Liv-
ing on barren soil, flesh is their principal food,
and the quantity they eat is said to be enormous.
Polygamy is practiced, and thieving held in
such estimation as to form consideration in the
necessary qualifications of the intended husband,
who is looked upon as indiferently capable of
supporting wife unless he is an adept in the
art of stealing from a stranger. Their govern
ment is in a great measure nominal, being un-
der the rule of caoiques or chiefs, who have at
tanned certain degree of notoriety, but whose
power is soon lessened unless they can maintain
the influence which first gave them them the
title. The tents are made of poles and the
skins of guanacoes, and are generally carried
about with them as they move from place to
place. They dress in long mantles made of
skins, covering them from head to foot, and
this gives them a singular and somewhat forbid
dug appearance

TIr FOR TAT.--The Paris correspondent Of
the Memphis Appeal relates the following:

lit FOR TAT.-The Paris correspondent Of
the Memphis Appeal relates the following:
"Ihe son of wealthy Jewish banker in
London became much attached to Young
Christian, with whom his father opposed his
union. When the son found that the father
could not be induced to give his consent to the
match, he concluded to marry without it. The
father then threatened to withhold every shil-
| ling from him. whereupon the son replied that,
if the father did not intend to give him any,
thing, he would become Christian, and, ac-
cording to the law, he would be entitled to one
half his fathers fortune. The father, much
alarmed, flew to his lawyers to inquire wheth-
er such law really was in existence. The
lawyers answer was in the affirmative, but ad-
ding that if he would hand him over ten guin-
cas- he would give him plan by which he could
frustrate his sons plans The ten guineas were
quickly produced.
Now said the lawyer quietly pocketing
the money, 'all that remains for you to do is
to become Christian also, and the law willnot
IDblige You to leave your son cent of money ,
The Jew hurriedly seized his hat and left the
lawyer without any further remark.

LENGTH OF LIFE.-The married are longer

observe q sober and industrious conduct. Tall
men live longer than short ones. Women have
more chances of life previous to the age of fifty
years than men, but fewer after.
