PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRADE.-Coal produc-
ton was little slack last week, and in the
Schuylkill region the surplus of water in the
mines continues to check operations. The
trade is not as active as it should be i'm view of
the demand that it is well ascertained must
continue through the year. Besides, the COM
bination being strong, will not permit rates and
prices to fall below paying points. Those best
informed are quite sure there will not be lower
prices OF coal this season. Holding OFF will do
no good in bringing down prices and those who
hope 1t will be mistaken, as rates are agreed
upon already by the parties in interest. There
Is to be no surplus coal on the market.-Paila.

The Charity Rail.

AS was predicted by those cognizant of the
arrangements being made, the Charity Bali last
evening for the benefit of the Children's Hos
pital was one OF the most elegant and delightful
affairs Of the year, even taking into account the
many brilliant entertainments of the ante
lenten season, although the attendance was not
as large as was deserved, either by the purpose
for which the ball was given or the character OF
the ball itself. What the assemblage lacked in
quantity, however, was amply made mp in quail
ity; and if the affair did not partake of the
nature of crush, 1t was all the more enjoyable
on that account to those who participated, and
particularly to the dancers. Not that the room
was not respectfully filed, by any means. 1t
was quite that and by the very best people in
Washington, both i'm official and private life.
Indeed, 1T was much more like an elegant pri-
waite party of selected guests than the ordinary
type of public bah.
The decorations were elaborate and beau
tiful, and reflected the highest credit on
those having them in charge. The four
occasions-viz: flowers, flags, birds, and
music,-were provided in the richest profu-
sion. The supper, too, was all that could be
desired. Indeed, everything was done that
could be done to crafty and satisfy the guests
OF the evening, and where that is the case it Is
work OF supererogation to enter into details.
As suggested above, the attendance of per-
sons noted i'm society was very large, and the
display OF rich and beautiful toilets was un-
usually fine Among those present were the
daughter; General Hunter and Mrs. General
Stewart; General and Mrs. Marcy; General aud
Mrs. Ricketts,; ex-Mayor Wallach and neice:
Mrs. Admiral Dahlgren, Mrs. DIR. Magruder.
and Mrs. DIR. Brow N; Judge and Mrs. Paschal;

large number OF secretaries and attaches OF the

The ball closed about three O'Clock, and all
present were so delighted with the evening as
to cause them to look forward with pleasant an-
tlcirations TO its successor next year. and to in
wardly resolve to not only attend'it themselves
but also to persuade their friends to be there as
well. So let it be!
