UPPER TENDON EXCITED. "A fright
full state of excitement exists in the
upper ten circles of New York, grow
ing out CT the proposed ball to the
PRINCE of Wales on the 18th of Oct.
inst. The hubbub arose from the fact
that the committee, which is charged
with the arrangements, were at loss
to select a lady from that city to lead
the Prince through his PAGES at the
opening. The committee, afterseEeral
days grave consultation of the momen-
tnous question, finally decided to con-
fer the honor upon the accomplished
lady of the White House, at Washing
ton, Miss Harriet Lane. This an
nouncement was like casting a stone
in q hornets nest. The committee
were met with most determined pro-
tests from the maids and matrons of
the commercial metropolis The
decision was speedily withdrawn, and
the question has been re-opened. -
Probably after a weeks deliheration.
the committee will come to another
conclusion. In the meantime, all the
silly women and girls Of the city will
remain in dreadful state of suspense
until the happy woman is designated,
then will follow jealousies, heartburn
ings, and silent tears. Alas, how ma
ny bright cheek will pale with envy
when the successful lady marches tri-
umphantly through the crowded hall
with the darling prince" dangling at
her arm. The ball will probably be the
most splendid spectacle of its kind ey-
err seen in New York. The committee
have already laid down the etiquette
for the evening, and we are told that
full evening dress will be insisted on
and bonnets be as absolutely prescribed
to ladies, as frock coats, colored era
vats, trousers, and dark colored gloves
to gentlemen. But won't jenkins be
in his glory And won't the indie
pendent sovereigns of free America
make fools of themselves?

TREATMENT OF HORSES. "A cores
pondent of the Country Gentleman
thus alludes to an error frequently com
mitted while driving horses
Among the mistakes in the driving
aud general management of horses
which have come under oar obserya-
ton, one has often surprised us to ac-
count for its Inconsistency with what
seemed to rs very plain and obvious
principles. We refer to driving quick
quick at any time during a journey
Immediately upon starting, when
the horse or horses are often as full as
feeding and water can make thin.
Even when horse has been fed and
watered an hour or two before starting
on a journey or drive Of several miles,
it is proper to drive slow for the first
mile or two but when the feeding and
watering have been more rece4t, the
propriety Of going along at jog or
easy pace is still more urgent Collie,
founder, broken vino, have resulted
from too rapid driving when the horse
was full. A friend of ours, a physi-
elan, who had occasion sometimes to
violate this dictate Of good manage
ment, in his haste to reach some case
of great urgency, once informed us
that when he drove at rapid rate
Immediately after feeding, his horse
would scour almost invariably, and
seem to suffer considerably.

There is much truth in the following
remarks of Addison 81 have found
that the men who are really the most
fond of the ladies, who cherish for
them the highest respect-are seldom
the most popular with the sex. Men
of great assurance, whose tongues
are lightly hung, who make words
supply the place Of ideas, and place
compliment in the room of sentiment,
are their favorites. A real respectful
action toward them, is mistaken by
them for neglect or want of love.
