JUVENILE Ball AT SEWPORT.

Mrs. John n Grisvold lately gave
a juvenile fancy dress ball in her mag
ni6cent marine villa, which undoubted-
ly was one Of the most interesting and
brilliant entertainments Of the kind
ever given at Newport. Beautifully
engraved and highly perfumed notes Of
invitation we're sent out several days in
advance. The young guests began to
arrive early in the aftornoon, many Of
them alone, others escorted By French
nurses, while few were accompanied
By their parents, who appeared at times
as much interested in the charming
spectacle ~ did the youthful parti:i-
pants themselves. The most elaborate
preparations had been made for the
even. by the fair hostess and nothing
was left undoDe? -.
On the lawn a canopy was erected,
drapcd with satin and lace, and deco
rated with innumerable gay-colored
flags and streamers.- The lawn fronting
the Griswold mansion is very beautiful
and extended and the scene presented
was picturesque aud brilliant In the ex-
treme. All manner of games we're in-
troduced for the amusement Of the lit
tie folks, and it did ones heart good to
see them enjoy themselves.
The costumes were all most costly,
and the majority Of them composed of
satin and silk. Lords, ladies, kings,
queens, sailors, soldiers, naval officers,
Highland lasses, flower girls, and Red
Riding Hoods abounded. Several Of
the costumes, purchased abroad, were
worn for the first time.
The music, by an orchestra attached
to one of the leading hotels, was too
tempting to be resisted, and soon sets
were formed for the Lancers, quadril!e,
&c. It Was mca LEASING and ANUS NJ

SAVED BY A BEETLE.

Ion May morning, in the year 1903,
a man, about thirty years of age, might
have been seen vending his way over
the broad road, lined with luxuriant
old chestnuta, that leads out of the
little town of la-Galliarde.
It was glorious morning. The
fresh, bracing air, the unclouded sky,
and the grateful odor Of the young
vegetation, were all calculated to make
the heart light and the head clear
But our wanderer-for such the bun
die he carried on bis shoulder, on tho
end of staff; denoted him-seemed to
take no notice OF the beauties that sur
rounded him. From time to time,
however, he would pause aud cast q

him, aad on the forrest that lay half a
league distant nshis road.

there, by the aid of some friends, to find
an asylum.
The heart of Latreille was warmed
by a noble and innocent love-the lovt
Of science, and especially for etymolo

thusiasm. So, now quickening ane
