rho-o MIac.-The Fire sun Farming. hu


The fire was discovered TO be still
burning a, the sOO-foot level of the Ken.
tuck and Crown Point last Saturday,
and, the gas and smoke increasing, it
was decided tc close thu FIRE in and let
i, have its own time FORT. Accordingly,
from the s0O-foot level up to the surface,
all the stations were tightly blocked up
in the vicinity of the Crown Point
shaft. The fire is nov completely
hemmed in, having no supply Of fresh
air from any direction, or way Of egress,
it will now be kept shut in until fully
extinguished, if it takes a year. The
air box or culyert we spoke of Satur-
day, gives II good circulation Of air at
the Yellow Jacket 900 level. Both
that and the Kentuck mines are sending
ont ore-the Kentuck from the upper
levels. Drifting east for the ledge is
once more being prosecuted, at both
the 1000 and the l,lO0-foot levels OF
the Crown Point, beneath any posi-
bility of FIRE aud when the ledge is
reached, plenty of good ore will be
raund.

TaE MISUNDERSTANDING OF TWO
GENTLEMEN.


We, with large circle Of friends, were
glad to learn that the difficulty pending
between the editor of the Avalanche and
a young gentleman Of our city has been
passed over without the shedding Of blood.
Both of these excellent gentlemen are
we'll known to us. and are highly re-
specled by the community; and any per-
sonal encounter that might have occar-
red could but be source Of regret to
all. The editor of the Avalanche we
know to be q high-toned gentleman, who
dares to do right and fears not any man.
As an exponent of public opinion, in the
conducting of valuable newspaper, his
duties are delicate and responsible. Yet
no journalist in the State has won
greater number Of friends and made fewer
enemies than our much esteemed cotem-
porary.
The young gentleman, Captain Luke
Wright, who came forward so heroically
and nobly to the defense of his aged
father, whom be thought to be unjustly
assailed, could not but win the respect OF
even his adversary. This gentleman IS
q yonpg attorney, lately started in the
profession of law, whose future is des'
tined to be marked with a genius,
awaiting only an opportunity to be known
and respected. The couutry-our down
trodden and enslaved country-demands
that her sons remain at peace, whose
future restoration to life will require
every Southerner to live for that momen-
tons occasion, fraught with so much in
terest to every true man within her
borders. The Empire is peace.

A Negro Ball.
RY JAMEa PARTnN.


What Joyous scene is one Of the
negro balls SO frequently given in. some
of the New England villages! In the
morning, the strangernotices upon the
lordly, wide-spreading elm that shades
the post-ofice a neatly written pa
per, notifying the public that an "enter-,
taiment' is to be given that evening
for the "beneft" Of some afflicted per-
son,-perhaps woman whose husband
a ruthless constable has taken to jail
"All who wish to enjoy a good time
are respectfully invited to attend, d,-ad-
mission, twenty-five cents," for which
substantial supper of pork and beans
and new'cider is furnished. Soon af-
ter eight in the evening the village re-
sounds with the voice Of colored
Stentor, who calls out the figures of the
quadrille, and all the world is thus no.
tilted that the "eGtertainmentr has be-
gun The scerls inside the ballroom
might make some persons hesitate to-
decide which is themore desirable des-
tiny in New England, TO be born
white or black. The participants seem
so unconsciously and entirely happy!
An ancient uncle, white-haired and
very lame, stands near the entrance,
seizes the newcomers with both hands,
and gives them roaring and joyous
welcome; and there is one-legged
man with a crutch, and four mothers
with infants in their arms, who go
through quadrille with the best Of.
them. The mothers, however, when
they grow warm with the dance, hands
the blessed baby to passing friend to
hold, The band, which consists oftwo
male fddlers and a woman who plays
the accordion, is seated upon platform
at one end Of the long room; and plays
with eyes upcast, eestatic and keeps q
heel apiece going heavily upon the
boards. The room itself seems torbe
quiyering. There is no walking
through quadrilIe here's but each per-
former, besides doing his prescribed
steps, cuts as many supplementary ca
pers.as he can execute in the Intervals
a dance begins, it is true, with some
slight show of moderation; but as it
proceeds the dancers throw themselves
into it with a vigor and animation that
increase every moment, until the quad
rifle ends in a glorious riot and deliFium
Of dance and fun. No Mussulman
would ask HSe people why they did
not require their servants to do their
dancing for them. On the contrary,
that famous pacha, catching their most
contagious merriment, would have
sprung npon the floor and dashed his
three tails wildly about among those
shining counten9nees. Nevertheless,
there was not the smallest violation of
decorum all was as innQent as it was
enjoyable. As the room was lined
with white spectators, perhaps we shall
some day learn the trick Of cheap, in
nocent, and hearty enjoyment One
thing was very noticeable, and Wonld
certainly be noticed by any one familiar
with the tb,-the purity of blood
exhibited in the faces of the company.
Among the one hundred and fifty dane
er., there were perhaps ten who were
not quite black; and this was an ans.
