RIVAL DANCING PARTIEs-The San Fran.
cisco Bslletis's St. Louis correspondence of
the 1st December, gives nm amusing account
Of two balls given by the rival chiefs of the
"Charcoal" and =" "Claybank" factions in St.
Louis. At the Charcoal party, the chief at
traction was Gen. Fremont, and the refresh
ments and style of the affair were decidedly
Teutonic. At tho other, Francis p. Blair
was the observed of all observers. The enor.
nous amount of 5000 worth Of superior intox-
icating fluids was swallowed. Tie confec-
tionsry is thus described:
The display Of iced and cendied fruits,
cakes and jellies, and pyramids. and designs
in sugar, were so gorgeous that the town gos-
sips will have full month's employment in
talking about them. Some of tile pieces de
resistaxce of this sort consisted OF models Of
the gunboats Benton. Caroxdelet, and some
others that have figured under Commodore
Foote and Davis in the war upon the Cumber.
land. Tennessee and Missouri rivers. Tho
applicability Of these gunboat models to the
entertainment, is found in the fact that Mr..
Eads, the entertainer, contracted for and built
eight gunboats last year. hero and At Cairo.

Progress Of the Dome Of the Capitol.

The National MidiigcAccr says that the
magnificent dome Of the Capitol. designed by
Thomas L. Walter, and now in course of con-
st.uc,ion under his direction, is rapidly pro
crossing completion. The principal frame OF
the structure has been completed. the ribs OF
til, cupola have been put in place, which con-
S,i;utr lhc outer covering are being set aud
will be finished before the close OF next month.
After this shall have been done, nothing i'll
b. left to complete the exterior OF the dome,
In. the construction Of the lantern and tic
,lacnr ct the ornaments on the upper Wi l.
,ows and around the spring Of the cnpola.
These ornamrns are now being cast, and one
of them, representing honcy-SuckIc, has
been placed in position, and presents Il very
handsome appearance. The castings for The
inner dome are i'll course Of preparation. and
will s,on be ready. The present hight of tho
iron work. above the basement floor of the
Capitol, is 2l5 feet, and the height of the por-
'ion yet to be constructed, including the
crown;ng statue, is about 70 feet. About 207,-
o00 Us. of iron have been received during the
past wear, and in the same period about l.
$4,000 pounds Of the same material have
been put up.
The whole quantity of iron received fran,
;hc l'%inning of the work up to the present
,iur was about 100000 pounds. and nc
cordins to the estimate of the architect, about
100000 pounds more will be needed to com
pete the work. The dome will be crowned
with Cr,wiord's gigantic and imposing statue
Of Freedom, which is l?A feet high, and

Of 100000 has been appropriated by Con
gress for the DOME tho mass of which ha
been expended. The original estimate Of th
cost of the dome was 945,OOo; but the dis
tinyuiShel architect, by rigid economy, and
reduction of the weight Of the structure. la

COCNTERYEIT "GREENBACKs." - Large
numbers Of counterfeit bills are said to b. in
circulation in California, and some have found
their way here. The following from the
Echo dx Pac;fqxe will assist in detecting
them:
The fve's are being extensively counter
feited, and being good limitations are most
dangerous. On the genuine bill, at tho base
of the Capitol ON which stands the figure Of
America, we read part of the motto, Z Pluri-
bus Unum." On the genuine bills, the follow
ing letters appear, "Uribus Unum." On the
counterfeit all that appears is, "Iribus Unum." +"
the left part Of the U being omitted. On the
back of the note, in the genuine bills, are tho
words, "Of America" the letters having a
white shade. In tho counterfeit their is an
absence of this shade. The general color Of
the counterfeits is lighter than the genuine.
The counterfeit tens are easily recognized
from their imperfect execution. I ho female
figure, which is on the right of the spurious
bill, has fre toes on the left foot. and four on
the right. In the true bill four toes are
shown on tho left foot and three on the right.
The eagle, which is in the centre. has no nail
at the back of tho foot, as in the genuine bill.
In tho twenty's. the picture Of woman.
which is in tho centre, has star on the left
arm, with fee points. The star in the gena-
inc bill has sir points. The little oval in the
breast Of tho woman has an u.s." in . "U."
The true bills are without this mark. The
letters Of tho word "Series" are not well
made. and are larger than in the genuine
bills.
The SOS zoos. and 1000's, can be distin.
guished by the initials and signature of the
"F. +. Spinner" The backs Of the counter.
feits Of these denominations, have all the Pc
culiarities already described in the five's.

SUSPENDED ANiMATiON.-An amusing in
cidcnt occurred at my store the other day,
which, think, when told, will stretch the
grinning apparatus of some of your readers.
While was busy attending to the wants
of some half dozen ladies, by throwing
down goods for the fun of putting them up
again. two small boys who infest my store
daily. We're having fine sport by pulling each
other up with a rope and tackle in the store
room. The most ventursolne boy had gained
a fine elevation by putting his foot in tho
hook and holding on by the rope. Seeing
him in danger. spoke to him quickly to
come down. thereby directing the ladies' at
tenton to the youngster aloft. Just at that
instant, his foot slipped from the hook, and
the iron caught the bottom Of his pantaloons
the treacherous cloth gave way. and quicker
than car write it, he was suspended, like
skinned squirrel, the only part Of his clothing
remaining in its proper place being his shirt
collar. The chap who had command Of the
,leyaing rope, was dumbfounded at the sight
OF his boon companion in mischief, and held
on ike 4 true soldier, while the man aloft
kicked and yelled manfuy. The ladies
screamed. and one miss covered her face with
her hands aud peeped through her fingers,
while Your humble servant was forced to face
the music and go to the assistance Of the boy,
who' through accident, had got his cloths on
wrong.
Red was the predominant color. and, and
goods remained unbought.
