THE FIREMEx,s BALL.

It's well to revive in memory the occurrences Of
former years n they can be made the occasion OF
mirth And such revival Is bettered If the joyous
ness of Its time can be radiated TO those not imme-
diately partaking OF 1t. Such a resurrection of
the past Is had every year by the svamps''
OF the 'Od Volunteer Fire Department." and
its results are gladdening to the impover.
of ,.ye oden time" Last night the annual event
above alluded to, and when Is known as the
IFlremen's Ball., gathered a grand assemblage OF
elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen, arrayed

The letters Of the HERALD's correspondents
from the four principal capitals of Europe,
which we publish on another page of this
mornings issue, contain many points OF inter-
est for the information of the general reader.
As might have been expected, the HERALD's
expedition into Africa in quest of DR.. Living
stone has had the effect of stirring up the
Britshers, and now they manifest desire to
undertake mission with the object of pene-
trating Africa in search of the great traveller.
The Royal Geographical Society has the
matter in hand, and private subscriptions are
desired to hasten forward the enterprise.
The example of the HERALD has touched Eng
lish national pride, and this is one of the re-
suits In our Paris letter we have very full
explanation of the defeat of Victor Hugo, and
how it was effected, in the late elections.
The opponent of the great novelist, it will be
remembered, was M. Vautrain, radical as pro-
nounced as Victor Hugo himself; but he had
President Theirs on his side, and that influence
conduced largely, If not wholly, to Vautrain's
success. The gain really amounts to nothing
for the government beyond the fact that it was
publicly known that Theirs favored the latter
candidate and was successful in his partially.
Bismarck's recent note concerning German
retaliation on France does not appear to give
satisfaction to his imperial master Bitter as
was the feeling with which it was received in
France, and severe as were the expressions
1t contained, the Kaiser was not pleased
with it. In fact he considers Bis
marck's treatment Of France altogether too
ienient The part which the imperial Chan
cellor has had to play all through the Franco
German difficulty has been of such charac-
ter as required care, coupled with bodness
in Its treatment, and there is little doubt that
nninterested spectators will not coincide with
the Kaiser's opinion of Bismarck's policy
Opinions have been variously expressed on
the present relations between the French
republic and the German empire, and many of
them consider that severity rather than len
iency has been the distinguishing trait of
Prince Bismarcks course.
The festive season at the date of our St.
Petersburg correspondence was fairly inau-
gurated in Russia. The political survey of
the nation contained in that correspondence
will give clear insight into the progress
which the great empire Of Northern Europe is
making in all directions.

The attractions at this establishment were ex-
ceedIngly varied last evening and contributed to
the enjoyment Of a comparatively large audience,
for the night being anything but proptious, few Of
the theatres were numerously attended. All the
elements OF a first class variety show were pre-
sented, including some excellent comic singing,
character dances and several very humorous
sketches. The minstrel, the light comedian,
terpsichorean artists and caricaturlsts had ad-
mlrable representatives, and the audience
seemed delighted with the innumerabe variety
o entertainments given. Joyousness, however,
had brief stay OF proceedings during Mr.. Pope's
recitation of 1.-The Dying SOLDIER. The chill caused
