haired department clerk, who the other day
sought out the Congressman from his dis

his retention in Office.
90 no, they will not spare you. You have
never done anything to huN anybodys feel

partmeris, anyhow?"

much more are you worth in tbs worlds

there?" :"
Not one dollar, Judge; and if TO out

A MASQUERADE DINNER PARTY.-The
Home Journal has the following description
OF recent advertisement Iof Gotham fash
ionable life:
dinner party was recently given in Fifth
avenue, which was at once novel and dlstln-
que. The guests comprised eminent lawyers,
doctors Of divinity and medicine, men OF let
ters, and members of military ana navai ser
vice. The host is widely known IN both hem
ispheres as an accomplished scholar, power
full tbeologiau, gcontroveItist. and Jealous
churcbman. and an ardent lover of the arts,
belles-lettres, and good cheer. His devotion
to philosophy by mo means interferes with
his relish for the gayer amenities of society.
Oar social festivities and resources of recrea-
ton owe much to his happy invention. To
him belongs, among other honors, that of the
recent grating of the brilliant and graceful
features OF the Augustan age upon our social
recreation. The menu OF this dinner was
very choice, and was admirably seasoned with
attic salt. AS entremets to the tutti fiutti and
biscuit glace there were placed before the
guests, by the servants, a variety ef mysteri-
Gus sealed packages, resembling large mot
toes. A very distinguished captain of Mexi-
can war and novel writing fame, was the first
to attack the portentous little mystery before
him. 1t unrolled with report like pistol
shot. Other guests followed example, and
succession of mimic thunder startled the COM
pany.
Unrolling their packages the guests sud-
denly found themselves in possession of a
splendid set Of character costumes ready to
be donned. These costumes were of the
li9ntest tissue paper, variously and brilliantly
colored, and tastefully ornamented with gold
leaf and other materials. They represented
motley array OF perSonages, characterizing
diverse nationalities and classes of society,"
Being distributed among the guests at ran
dom, and each guest putting on the one he
received, the most amusing contrasts were
the result. The genial man of letters was
Transformed into Suliote warrior; the rever-
end doctor of divinity appeared in brig
and's cloak and high pointed hat; while the
loose gown, nightcap, and high topknot of
our grandmothers, fell, of course, to the most
dignifed, proud, and sensitive parsonage of
the company. Harlequin, as luck would have
it, came not to the soberest, but to congeni-
ial spirit, able to keep the table in an incess-
ant roar.
The several characters not only ate in their
costumes, but made speeches, wrangled, re-
cited poems, enacting with great spirit and
abandon the role of the moment The di-
vertisement was a complete success, giving a
welcome variation to the customary routine
OF dinner parties, and securing fresh in
nux of life and gaysty, to fuse diverse ele-
ments and characters in one accord of good
fellowship. We heartily welcome these @s-
Lhetlc novelties as proof that cultivated
ninth is not inconsistent with devotion TO
stern duties, and the highest aims of learn
ing and life. As antidotes to mental strain,
science pronounces them not only valuable
but almost Indispensable.

Important Certificate.
speedy Cure of Whooping Cough
j. W. PEcKErr, Esq, Brookly

am not in the habit of taking advertised med-
cnes OF certifying to their curative effects when
they come under my observation; bnt l feel con-
strained to make an exception in favor Of DoDD's
NERvINE and Invieorator, medicine have used
in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was so much broken OF rest at
night that-by excessive coughing and loss ofsleep-
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies or palliatives were
recommended by intimate neighbors, but nothing
was tried until our attention was called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodd's Nerviea This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an ef-
iect immediate and surprising. AS the commissions
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-
VINE on ner FeiaG to bod TIE first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quent, and very much less severe, she got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever What
left Of the wh0oping cough thereafter of no
trouble OF course cannot but consider Dedd's
Nervne and lnvigor stor an invaluable romedy for
this distressing malady. 1 may add that have

paPes tails the following:
little seven Year ~ider living IN Water
ford, Saratoga County, taking psstern of HE
1ather, stoutly avowed himself Democrat.
HIS grandfather who is Republican, prom
ised MN apony and carriage if he would de-
sert his colors and declare himself Republi-
can. The next morning at breakfast Freddy
looked very grave, and was uncommunicative
After brief meal he arose and vent into the
Kitchen, where Bridget was at work. Resting
ms head upon his hands, he INDUCED in deep
incubation for q moment: then suddenly
looking up he asked:-'Bridget, do you know
what am p NO. said the girl. well, will
tell you.' said he; 4 am darned old copper
head' "WhatP ?" said Bridget. 81 tell you I
am darned old Copperhead, the meanest
kind of Democrat"
This settled the case, and Freddy clings to
his party at the sacrifice of pony and car
riage."
