The music furnished at this ball is
worthy Of special mention, as being
of a higher order than any hitherto
obtainarrle in Eureka. Riegelhuth,
first violin. is but q years of age
and vet his execution was of the
very first class. Hess, with that in
Strument of sweet sounds, the melo-
phone, is ~uneXcelled. The flute and
tlageolet were played in a mastery
m manner, and so were the piano and
second violin.
The Grand March at the commence
ment of the ball was a sight for Jen-
kinS. After King Carnival, who led
the van, came the Elephant, on all
tours (Which is the way he always
travels) j; then came in succession the
Queens, Dukes. Princes. Princesses,
Pages, Sailors, Soldiers, Clowns. Har-
lequinS, and Il whole menagerie OF
animals. bipedal and quadrupedal.
by the ladies, were cOlnical, frighttul,
and %terOcious.
The most richly dressed character
was the Turkish Princess. seated on a
divan. 1t was also strictly correct.
The BEST sustained character in COS
tune was the MOdOc SQuaw.
The most successful deception was
the Girl of the Period, who, even at
ter his mask was removed, was taken
fora girl by every one.
The most successful representation
of II youthful appearance by a person
advanced in life was by the lady who
perSonated Spring.
The face whose feminine beauty
could not he concealed even Ivy mascu-
line apparel was that of the Page Of
the time of Henry VIII.
The most successful representation
of age 10y Il young person was the Old
Man.
The most graceful dancer was the
Page in white, personated by Il lady.
The costume best representing the
occurrence of an event was the Snow
Blockade.
The most agile performer in cos
tune was the Bah on. He %eNcelled
all the GnomeS, H%arlequins, and Pam
falcons in the strength and rapiuity
of his acrobatic teats.
Evening and Evening Star were
verv appropriate costumes.
The most diminutive dancer was
the little Scotch boy (Aggie IIall,
who seemed to he incapable OF IA
tigue, and was able to go through all
the dances, even with grown persons
as partners. This p%ertinacity and
perseverance on the part OF so small
Il cHli0 was tne tuclllc VI SeIleiai ie-
mark.
The general impression is that no
other person can be found here, who
will so successfully carry a scheme
for popular amusement to Il
conclusion, as has been done by Mr..
VIM. Samson, in the accomplishment
of his purpose of having 4 tirst-class
masquerade ball.
SELLING LIQUOR TO lNDIANS.-We
are sorry to learn that some parties at
the lower end oftown have been sell

stabbed night before last near town
by a drunken Indian. 1t may not be
generally known that the practice of
selling these people liquor in punish
able by fine and imprisonment, but
such is really the case.
