The New GaIOp.

As an item Of interest to our lady readers
We clip the following description Of a new
and popular dance, much in vogue at the
watering places this season:
This galop is comparativelya new dance.
The gentleman clasps his arm around the
lady waist and squeezes nd Jitunl, and
the lady drops hers around his neck and
lovingly lolls her head upon his shoulder
and both 60 spinning and painting down the
room at a speed elsewhere seen only at
| lager beer gardens after forty glasses. each.
Imagine team consisting of blind mule
and lame cow hitched to cart, whereof
one wheel is twice the size of the other, and
neither is round, driven rapidly over a
superanuated corduroy road, and you will
have some idea of the motion of the galop,
and nothing short of that will do. The old
graceful plain waltz, the schottische and
polka, with even their license, were bad
enough, but when the bottom Of skirts go
flying far above where the dress-tops. ought
to be-when the lady's flushed check liter
ally lies on her partners shoulder, and his
too often whisiey- breath scorches
her bosom-when the whole dance seems
to be especially contrived to secure unre-
strained hugging and exhibit female stock
ing in distended state the thing though
perhaps fashionable, becomes a little too
much for decent humanity"

Negro Servants.

We take the following from an article in
the Cincinnati Gazette of recent date -
"A few weeks ago, as we were going from
Nenia to Springfield, we found on the train
a car load Of colored women and children,
under the care of Miss Hagar, lady con
nected with the Christian Commission. She
was citizen of Springfield, but had been at
Camp Nelson, in Kentucky, teaching con-
trabands, and was taking home load of
them for servants for her friends. She had
on their breasts, indicating 10 whom they
were to be delivered. When the train ar
rived at Springfield, hedepot was filed with
ladies waiting to conduct their unseen and
untried servants to their new homes. Yes
terday evening we met the same lady at the
little Miami depot, in this city, with an
other detachment of sixty-fve women, girls
and children destined for the same place.
