Mrs. Victoria woodbuu-Blood writes !:

The whole social state is honeycombed
with social Irregularities and outrage;
everybody knows the fact, and yet every
body pretends to conceal it; everybody
knows that everybody else knows it, and
that anybody knows it. Hypocrisy is set
thing like a mildew on every individual
character. When the veil is pulled off,
when the nightmare is dispelled, when men
and women are justified to themselves and
dare state their convictions, and live their
own lives in freedom, men and women who
are now crouching in AFFECT fear before a
false public opinion, which they are them
selves helping to create and intensity. will
Join in one universal hallelujah to their de-
l~iverers. There is a skeleton in every
house! an incubus on every free breath! a
reign of terror in every household!

FALLING.-The water is falling so rapidly
in the submerged district that the police
boats will no longer float at the Claiborne
Market, the recent headquarters of the citi-
zeus' committee in the distribution of pro-
visions. The railroad track is now out of
water; cars are running, and things will
soon resume their wonted appearance. The
police have staked out a road for wagons
through the water further to the rear than
the market, and hopes are entertained that
dry land will show itself by Sunday. The
relief continues to be given under the
auspices of the citizens, the Howard, and
the Young Mems Christian Association.

THE BASKET PIcNIC.-A basket picnic, to
which a select party of ladies and gentle
men were invited, took place at the Bar
racks yesterday evening. Captain E. V.
Hitch and his lady presided at the enter
tainment, the lady lending to the occasion
a refined elegance and grace. The contribu-
tons of the guests, when spread out, made
a feast to which all who were fortunate
enough to procure invitations did ample
justice. The music of the military band
was appreciated by the party, as they
joined in the mazes of the dance, and in
the midst of these agreeable surroundings
the hours sped quickly away.
The grounds are well designed for a home
picnic of this kind, a grove of magnolias
and cedars combining refreshing GOODNESS
and grateful odors, and within this grove
the ladies and gentlemen for a short time
forgot the heat and odors of a rowde city.
The threatening look of the weather de-
TERED a few from coming, the cares OF city
business others, but those who were there
had no reason for regret at this, save the
disappointment which is the master feeling
when we fail to meet our friends. Inc
number present evidently showed the
esteem in which the amiable hostess was
held, and after the ice was broken and
polite restraint passed away, rigid ceremony
passed with it, and enjoyment reigneo'
Among those present were Captains VII
liams and Smith, John w. Madden, Esq,
and other gentlemen associates of the host.
Among the ladies were the Misses Hunt,
Miss Graham, Miss Wilder, Miss Clark
Miss Mobiles, Miss Goodin, Miss Levi and
others, who assisted at this cheerful reunion
of kindred spirits.
