BILE ladies, it is said, spend $1,000, and even
more, in attending the balls given during the
winter. Allowing 5000 ladies to expend
1926 each, which is regarded as a moderate
estimate, we get an additional aggregate ex-
penditure of $1,445,0 spent in dresses,
CATERS, gloves, hair dressings and bouquets,
during the winter season. The gentlemon's

the sum of Sc, 125,00O, an amount, as our

Cost of Dancing.

A curious statement has been made of the
cost of individual dancing and dancing i'll the
a ggregate, during the winter season in New
York. 1t is estimated that 1900 balls will be
given during the season, exclusive Of other
similar gatherings, and masquerades. The
number of persons who will visit these balls
on an average is put down at 100 of both
sexes, which gives a total of 1870, 900 persons
who will attend these 200 balls. OF these,
80 per cent, it is calculated, will attend in
the latest fashion-and the outfit and ex-

The Rebel Debt.
TN, Y. World.1

The Radicals are making great noise
about rebel debt. We should like to know
with what course of reasoning they make out
that there is such thing as rebel debt. The
bonds issued by those who tried to establish
the Southern Confederacy were made payable
one year after independence of the Confedsr-
ate States was recognized by the United
States. There is therefore, no such thing as
a rebel debt, and cannet possibly be any to
pay until the independence of jeff Davis's
ex ploded government. Perhaps this, after
all, is their programme and this is the secret
of their seeing debt which is not now in ex-
istence Under no other hypothesis can
there ever be rebel debt. 1t has expired by
its own limitation,

at Philadelphia last month to witness
the process of making paper out of
wood. The company owning this pro-
cess have established large works on
the Schuylkill river, near Philadelphia,
where there are Accommodations for max
ing twenty tons of cord wood pulp pa
per daily. They are owned by capi-
talists from all parts of the country
who witnessed every detail of the pro-
cess. The company have achieved a
great success. A poplar tree taken
from the hill side was converted into

though devoted to what many call a
dry profession, nevertheless has a high
appreciation of joke, and tells one
well. The Judge is an accomplished
scholar and an able mathematician.
On recent occasion, he was endeavor-
ing to perform that impossibility of sci
ence-squaring the circle. Of course,
he soon relinquished so hopeless task;
but his friends, willing to vex him by
recalling the visionary scheme, were
constantly asking the question:
Judge, have you squared the circle
yet?''
At last, he surprised one of them, by
answering them, "Yes."
