AN Ohio editor gives his views of several
dances which he lately Witnessed at ball in
Washington. lie says "The want of variety
in this Metropolitan dancing was, however, fully
made up by the fancy things, such as the waltz
and polka, These were absolutely blrbarouS
! The old fashioned waltz, the morality Of which
even Byron called in question, is here ignored
as altogether too cold and distant. The lady
lays her head on the gentleman's bosom, puts
one hand on his, and the other in his coat tail
pook e and resigns herself to his embraces, and
goes to Sleep all hut her feet, which, when not
carried by him clear OF the hoor 90 patting
around on the toes. The gentleman thus en-
twincd throws his head back and his eyes up,
like dying calf his body bent in the shape of
figure 4, he whirls, backs up, swings around
sw0ons, to all appearances, dashes forward, and
leaves the ring to the delight of all decent
people"
The PouRNG OUT OF TIE SEVENTH VuL.-Dr.
Cummings, of London, in Il recent work on
Prophecy entitled The Great Tribulaton or,
Things Coming on the Earth, which has been
deemed not unworthy of heightened review in
the Times newspaper, is decidedly of opinion
that " we are on the very verge of gigantic
slruggle that France is to originate, guide, and,
if able, to overrule the storm and that England,
because Of her free thought, Tree speech, and
free press, and Protestant religion, the spring of
them all, is to have directed on her the concen-
trated lire of all Europe"
