The latest fashionable novelty in Providence, r. L..
was a" Bachelors Bal" nc which, as we are in
formed, the elect present in large numbers"
The report before us declares that the ladies were
dressed " as ladies never were cOstumed before in
this city. Diamonds and gems Of rare value adorned
nearly every lady present and not few carried the
value of a considerable fortune around their necks,
cntwined in their hair, their fingers The
poor bachelors of course condemned to the
sobriety of black dress coats" though suppose
they managed also to display diamond or a cluster
of them. Gen. Burnside was there; and to rare
quotation, " all went merry a marriage bell.'

There, polite society has sheet and piow-case
parties" The uniform for the ladies consisted of
pair of white stockings drawn over their shoes, n

over their shoulders, white gloves. pink cambric

wore white sheets instead Of nghtgowns, with the
addition Of pantaletcs drawn oyertheir pantaloons"
What a spectral costume! We trust these Albino
maslueraders had a good time, and made fools of
themselves and each other to their hearts content.

Suffocation by coal gas is common means
of death, and such instances as that which we
detail elsewhere of the suffOcation OF five men
on the steamship Ismalia are of almost daily
occurrence. Hundreds perish annually by this
and similar accidents resulting from ignorance
or carelessness and yet nobody ever seems to
grow wiser or more cautious from reading OF
them. The five sailors were doubtless the We
tins of their own carelessness; 1t is incredible
that workers in coal can have been totally
ignorant of its dangerous properties. The two
who escaped after being lured to insenslblhty
will certainly know enough hereafter to pro
tect themselves but who can assume that they
will learn caution from their narrow escape 7

The verdicts of country COrOners over the
victims of railway disasters are never satisfac-
tory The excitement which follows the
slaughter units the public mind for a calm
survey of the facts, or to receive the opinions
of those who take time for inquiry. No one
will be content with the verdict of the COrO-
ner's jury at New Hamburger, because it finds
nobody to blame.n We have from time to
time indicated our own views Of the response
bility for the calamity; and while the verdict
does not in all respects agree with them it
does not seem to US to give occasion for
changing them.

"a square meal furnished" walked in

After enjoying the meal the unsophisti-

New YoRK, June l2.-In accordance
with the order recently issued by Arch
bishop McCloskey, the anniversary of
the twenty-ffth ponti6cate of Plus TX
will be celebrated in the Roman Catholic
churches throughout the archdiocese Of
New York on Friday, the 10th instant,
with music, fireworks and illuminations
The cornerstone Of the new Roman
Catholic Church of St John the Baptist
in Twentieth street, near Seventh av-
enue, was laid yesterday by Archbishop
McCloskey. A long procession Of mem
bers of total abstinence and benevolent
societies marched to the church site.
The streets, house-tops, windows and
platforms in the vicinity of the church
were crowded. This church will cost
$3.50, 900, and will be under the spiritual
charge Of Father Bonaventuerie.
Early this morning it was reported at
police headquarters that Andrew Me-
Craig, while intoxicated, fell oat of the
fourth-story window of No. 1869 Third
avenue, and was killed. 1t has been
discovered, however, that the deceased
had fought with man named Henry
Hart, and had been probably pushed out

The bodies of two white men were
found last night floating in the river at
the head of Presidents Island. The
bodies we're considerably decomposed,
but will probably be identified this after
noon at the Coroner inquest to be held
on the island. Several days since it
was rumored that two men we're lost
while attempting to cross the river from
Hopefeld to the mouth of Wolf river in
a skiHf, during a gale of wind, and it is
probable that the bodies found last night
are the remains Of the unfortunates.

LONDON, June l2.-The proposal to
grant an annual income of fl5,OOO to
Prince Arthur, which was recently under
discussion in Parliament, is creating
considerable comment among all classes
here. This lavish expenditure of the
public moneys is viewed with general
disapprobation, and it is probable even
if the proposed allowance to Prince Ar
thur should be granted that the increas-
ing public feeling on this point will re-
suit in legislation by Parliament limit
ing such measures to the reign of Vic
toria, and prejudice the disposal of the
public revenue in like manner by her
successors.

The Supreme Court Of Massachusetts
has recently decided that law OF 'ne
State which undertook to secure VIII
nesses against certain prosecutions
founded on their answers in examiha-
tons before legislative committees was
Intellectual to protect such witnesses
from the liability to prosecution result
ing indirectly from such admissions.
Under these circumstances it was held
that a witness could not be compelled to
give an answer eliminating himself un.
less he was absolutely released from all
liability of prosecution, either on his
own testimony or the testimony of others
A witness who had been committed by
the Legislature for refusing to answer
was therefore discharged by the Court
all the Judges holding that the Legs
lature could not by any formal enact
ment compel person to tetisiy before
one of its committees, without fully Sc
curing him from all liability to prosecu-
ton thereafter.

The american Treaty-Pro.
Dosed Marriage Between Grants
Son and Princess Beatrice, of Eng.
land.


land.
WASHINGTON, June IA telegram
received here from London by high
official states that the Anglo-American
treaty, with the Queens ratification, will
be sent to Parliament on Tuesday. The
information is regarded as entirely
trustworthy.
Letters received from England put
the extraordinary question seriously
whether marriage between Presl dent
Grants son and Princess Beatrice, OF
England, might not be arranged so as
to secure cordiality between the two
countries. The Queen originated the
proposition. The Princess is fourteen
years Of age, and the Queen idea is. that
the nuptials take place on the re-elec-
ton of Grant in 1872. Young Grant
will then be adopted as British sub
ject and Immediately appointed Vice
roy Of Canada. The letters which com
municate this surprising proposition are
written by persons of the highest posi-
ton in Britain. One asserts that the
idea originated with Mr.. Seward, who
suggested it to the Earl of Mayo, who
mentioned it to the Queen, who cordi-
ally approves.
