A QUALITY BALL.
Our Jenkins in His Glory.
A RECHERCHE AFFAIR.

Being the reclpIent OF coupio "a
tickets which invited us to "Rane
for Clock" which raffie included oil
course, dancing and punch, we sent our
Jenkins to the classic city Of Bellaire,
where the rattle, dance and fight was 10
come off, and he makes the following
report of what he terms the most EN-
joyable affair" that ever did happen.
Birch's band being engaged by other
parties, the music was furnished by a.
orchestra called "Big Pat" who as a
rasper of feline intestines is success.
About ten couples were present, and
among them the beautiful and dashing
Miss O'S-hne--sy, of Bellaire, pretty
piquant and petit, elegantly attired IN
loose gown and paper collar. Upon
hair of auburn la rouge, she wore an
exquisite black chiguon. The contrast
was striking, and created sensation.
She was the belle of the evening.
Mrs. McN-il appeared to advantage
in gored skirt and black wooden stock
ings. She was also the belle of the even
ing.
Mrs. Gil, of Benwood, was decidedly
the belle of the evening. Her hair was
plainly dressed, as she had lost her hat
and head dress in friendly set-to with
neighbor e few days before. Her
handkerchief was of three-ply Brussels,
worked in eheneille. Her dress of rich
est material, in the glazing and peculiar
light of the single tallow dip that
beamed from o chandelebra made by
scooping hole in large potato, to a
causual observer, looked like Merrimac
print, full width and bias founce. She
was decidedly the belle of the evening.
Mrs. McG-nis came all the way
from the Green Isle to attend this party.
As she wore gloves she was treated
with becoming distinction. As her
baggage had not arrived her wardrobe
was not as complete as one could have
wished and she was compelled to dress
en- barefoot. Having lately arrived from
Europe she was much sought after and
was decidedly the belle of the evening.
There were several other ladies Of the
ton present but as they are not aux
ious to appear in print they have asked
that their names be suppressed. We
cannot. however, avoid mentioning the
dress worn by the fashionable Kate
McC-rm-ck, the belle of the even
ing, She was gorgeously arrayed in a
resuscirated green silk, cat en- panier, ia
white chimisette, ruffled collar and glass
beads.
The boys were most of them arrayed
of expense. Doony RI
always came to the scratch when time
was called and was the most popular
gentleman at the rattle. The ladies
lowered round him like flies around q
boy with mola,ses on his face. We
heard one of the jealous beaux say he
had paper of mixed candies in his
pocket. However. it was An occasion
long to be remembered.
Our Jenkins returns his thanks to
Miss Biddy McG-e who assisted him
in his descriptions of the ladies' attire,
she having been, some years since, chief
engineer in milliner's shop, and after.
wards field hand in an artificial flower
and therefore well qualified to
give the required aid.

table, last evening, a regular Siamese

Dafield, of Oxtoby & Duffield, who has

formed apples Of the russell variety, set

fourths of the way round, leaving room
enough for the stem. The joining of the
apples is singular freak of nature, and
is quite a curiosity.

WHAT IS IT R NOT BR1BERYP-Gener
Grant can't be bribed, they tell us. Oh,
no, he only accepts tens of thousands of
dollars from gentlemen, and bestows
Offices upon them equal in value to the
money. Ancient Pistol scorned the word
.'steal," as applied to himself and his
fellows, and insisted that Convey
should be substituted; and, if Grants
friends want some other word than
bribery used in his case, we respectfully
invite them to tell us what one they
would suggest. Four of the heavy con-
tributors to his wealth, men that the
country never heard of, are actually
members of his Cabinet, and perhaps
three other contributors, not known as
such to the public, make up the rest of
the Cabinet. We may be told that the
fact of his selection, as four of his Cabi-
net officers, of four of his contributors,
was mere coincidence, happening, q
chance, and that he would have selected
exactly those sane four obscure indi-
viduals if they had never given him a
dollar, but is any fool enough to believe
this or to expect anybody else to believe
1T? If Grant has not taken bribes.
bribery is but On imaginary crime

The FRENCH ATLANTIC CAB1E.-The
work of laying the shore end of the
French Atlantic cable, intended to con-
meet with the main wire at st. Pierre
from Duxbury, Mass, was commenced
yesterday. Satisfactory tests go to show
that the new cable is in every respect
superior to any hitherto put down. In
connection with the CON pietion of this
great work it is necessary to call atten-
ton to the important communication
which Secretary Fish has addressed to the
French and English Ministers in Wash
ington on the subject of the inviolability
ofAmerican soil as already considered by
Congress. The Secretary classes the
cable as q British undertaking, in pro-
prietorship of q British private corpora
tion, working under French conces-
sion.-Ne,U York Herald.
