THE Press BALI At WHITE SULpHuR.-Through
the politeness ofAIessrs. Feyton s. CO., the lib
eral Proprieters of the White Sulphur Springs
and their great consideration for the well-being
of us unfortunate editors. we were privileged
with others of the press gang, to enjoy night Of
unalloyed pleasure at their thronged and ever
popular establishment. The splendor of the en-
tertainment, a fancy dress and mask ball (the
third of the season. could not we'll be surpassed.
Beauty was there in all her richness of attire
hsr melting or der flashing eye and her Waning
smile. Wit and sentiment were there, bound in
the social tie. Wealth and talent--the aristocra-
cies of money and intellect were there--yea, eve
ry sweet Of life that could be distilled from its
fowery partierre was scattered freely there-but
Bagby, of the Natre Viryinian was not there,
much to the regret Of his brother scribes and the
ladies who were smelling around for s'bacon and
green's" s.qlas :
The masks and characters, though not so nu-
merous as at the great easody ball, were appro-
pirate and well sustained-some of the ladies'
dresses were truly magnificent, and the beauty of
their persons with the grace Of their movements
in the dance captivated the hearts Of beholders.
Had wetime and space we could dilata largely on
the vim with which the company entered into the
pleasures Of the dance and sustained their mock
characters. Suffice it II saying the ball was
managed and carried out in handsomestyl and
ample justice was done by all to the rich supper
provided by Peyton's chef de @esisins A distinct
portion of the vast dining saloon was laid apart
for the representatives of the press, who number
ed between thirty and forty from New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee,
North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama
OF course, the largest number were Virginians. -
All the offices of Richmond and Staunton were
representative other cities partially. The re-
porterofth the Associated press was also present
and there is but little doubt that lengthy accounts
of the affair will appear.
After the clearing of the table Of its heavy bur-
den--the light feast, e. wine was furnished and
and every body knows that what Moore says is
true
Wits electric fame s&f.-t
Meier SO swiftly passes 3 sat ,
As when through the frame
.-T It shoots from brimming glasses.
Ruoh sentiments-such speeches-such humor-
such &C. rarely crown the hours ofjolly fellows.
Gu with the dance, shouts the ballet-master-On
with the toast or song roars the hero of the
fauteni1; and sparkling eloquenoe follows the or
der. But here let us draw the curtain, and say
that it was happy reunion of brain beating in
diVlduals who are unfortunate enough to be edi-
tors. EfFA&H SiRs
We we're glad to see that our contemporaries the
Spectator and p'ndicator were represented.
The cold snap is driving the company away
from the mountain resorts fast ;..there are scarce
iy 6ae hundred left at the White. =

THE GREAT MEDICAL MISTAKE

OF former days was an utter neglect Of sanitary
precautions. No efficient means were adopted for
the prevention Of sickness Sewerage was un-
known in cities; drainage was rarely attempted
in the country. Heaps Of offat were left to rot
in the public streets, and domestic cleanliness,
the great antidote to febrile Diseases was sadly
neglected. 1t is not so now. Wise laws, philan-
thropic institutions, and vigilant sanitary po-
lice, have to great extent, remedied the evil
helped materially to lessen the rates of mortality
1t is not too much to say that TENS OF THOUSANDS
escape sickness in unhealthy seasons in conse-
