About the splendid ball of the Hibernisn Mutual
Benevolent Association, which took place at Odd
Fellows Hall on Wednesday night, we thought we
had said all that could possibly be said within the
limited space of q journal. But we were mista
ken. About two O'Clock in the morning the rep.
resentatves Of the press present. ct the invitation
of Messrs. W. ]. Kelley president Of the sssocia.
tion, Ed. Sweeney, P. Bradley, d. d. O'Brien, M.
McManigle, sat down to a sumptuous table, where
Q pleasant hour was spent in the company Of sew
eral ladies, and Captain Russell of the ship Tiger,
Capt. Kelham of the Spectator. and Captain
Ronald Of the Lord Delhoursey.
The excellent things that were said, and the ex.
cellent wine quafed over them, need not be re-
counted here, for twas quiet family like affair,
| over the pleasant memories Of which we prefer
dreaming. After supper, Mr.. Kslinski, Of the
corner OF Spain and Levee streets, presented the
association with large, beautiful wreath OF ever
| greens and white roses, in the center Of which
| could be read these words, on q green ribbon !:
Hbernis Club.n and the words, /" March IL,
$780," on pink ribbon, below, both being con-
nected by harp Of gold.
The words of Mr.. Kalinski. as nearly a. we can
recall them, were as follows:
Mr. Kelly. President and Gentlemen of the hsrnian Club
1t had been my desire to present you this wreath
at my house, but was disappointed on account of
your annual parade not taking place therefore
will now offer ii to you. beg you will accept il
as token Of the regard which bear for you as
men, as gentlemen, and as members of o society
which in itself is credit to this city This wreath,
although not constructed Of costly material, will
nevertheless convey to you my appreciation of
your worth.
In its construction you will notice that the
flowers which adorn it are of pure white, and as
such are emblematc OF the purity of your mo-
tives. In the background is the green, the color
OF Hope, and also the natural color of your
oppressed Ireland. which we hope some day to
see represented among the proudest nations Of
the earth, and as their peer; entwined with them
are the golden leaves, the symbol Of plenty. and
which will surely reign In that country ere
long.
Once more Ibeg you to accept it, extending, at
the same time, the right hand of fellowship as
tie which must exist between free America and
oppressed Ireland.
President Kelly received the gift in q patriotic
speech, and the wreath having been hung on the
balcony of the orchestra stand, the music struck
up Wearing Of the Green" and dancing was re-
sumed and continued until daylight yesterday
morning.
The Hibernisn boys of the old Third having sue
ceeded admirably in their fair and in their ball,
now propose to give another charitable entertain.
ment-a grand fair-for the benefit of the st.
Mary's Orphan Boys Asylum, on Moreau street,
of which due notice will be given.
Mr.. Garidel, the courteous and attentive docket
clerk Of the Second District Court, has commenced
the laborious task Of examining thirty.two thou.
sand eight hundred and eighty odd packages of
documents of that court In order to make report
Of the property Of minors, which Is to be recorded
In accordance with a recent law, in the Office of
the recorder of conveyance.
The romantic DeCourcey-Anglsda-Fon case
is not yet at an end. Yesterday Frank Haynes,
Esq.,, counsel for Font, the tutor of Marie Dolores
Anglada. fled suspensive appeal from the deci- |
sion of Judge Duvgnesud, authorizing the couple |
to marry. We learn that the couple have actu. |
ally married, and 1t is very delicate question |
which Mr.. Haynes should have considered, and |
the court should considerer, whether suspensive |
appeal can be granted when the subject in litiga.
ton is Of perishable nature. The whole matter
resolves itself, as Henry Clay once said, into
bubble on the ocean.
The leaders Of the Cuban troops at Cienfuegos
are, We learn, Adolphus Cavsda, late commercial
agent at Trinidad. and Frederick Csvsds, late
United States consul, who were both lieutenant
colonies in the federal army during our late war;
and Otto Schmidt, q rich merchant, leads the Gu
bans at Trinidad.
The whoopiDg cough is by no means an institu-
lion we wish to see encouraged in this city. In
fact, we sincerely regret that some enterprising
lobbyist did not get bill through the Legislature,
during its late session. which would have given
hem an entire and exclusive monopoly of it, so
that 1t could not possibly be disseminated beyond
> particular ring. But as that was not done, we
suggest that parties owning children who have
aiken stock in that disease would. for the sake of
he public comfort, refrain from airing them in
he city cars, or diverting them at the Academy
If Music on Saturdays. 1t may, no doubt, be very
amusing to parents to witness a regular attack
lpon one Of their young "hopes"-to see the pluck
hey display in fighting for breath-to hear their
Fhoops and yels of defiance of the enemy; but
We cannot say that it interests the public gener-
lily, especially when the disagreeable thoughtin.
rudes itself that they might carry home in their
othes little Of the article to unwilling recipi-
nts.
The Pic. man is not the only one who receives
attentions from bis lady friends. Claire has
gain remembered the CRESCENT staff, and remem.
'ered them in way that, though it may lack the
'oesy of the Pics gifts. is very substantial pres
mt.
