Nashville Ladies at Bon Aqua.

A gushing correspondent of the Me mphis
Register uses up wo bottles of violet col.
ored ink, wears out new copy of ''The
Complete Letter Writer" and scratches bis
pate bald, in get ing up description Of the
ball given at Bon Aqua last week. We
clip the following from the cmmuuication
to the Register:
"Neither must we be f0rgetful of the fair
delegation from our rural ci y 'Nashy lie,
who claims the prettiest women on thu con-
tinent, but which claim we feel little dis
posed to contest, coming, as We do, from
Memphis. However, we withhold no honor
where it Is due, al i among the guests of
your city, permit me- to mention Miss E..
CIR, whose presence during the sum-
mer has added much to the enjoyment
of the guests of Bon Aqua. Perhaps
her brown eyes are shade softer than when
she last came under cur NOTICE. Certainly,
there is charming tenderness in her man
ner, peculiar at certain times, which gives
to her. an irresistible power, against which
it is vain to struggle. Beautifully the soft
shade of her dark hair blends with he=
dress of rose-colored satin overdress, worn
over white tarletan.
Miss A-e Nh follows, whose lowell
ness and beauty of character has made her
a model for her sex, whose sweet influence
is felt and remembered wherever she goes.
Her dress of rose colored tarletan is sweetly
becoming, making her seem whole hand
full of blush roses.
Miss A-d, with brown eyes and hair,
forming pretty contrast to her fine features,
seems as joyous as a May morning, uncon-
scious of the thorns which cling to the fair
est flower the hand may eyer pluck.

Tho rhirteen.h District BaIl.

To the Union and American:
In point of numbers present and the
amout realized, the Thirteenth District ball
surpassed even the most sanguine expecta-
tions of ali concerned. The Directors have
reason to congratulate themselves on the
polite and becoming manner in which the
guests conducted themselves, as nothing &C.
Cured to mar the pleasure Of the most fss-
tidious. The youth and beauty of the dis
trict tripped it through the mszy waltz and
merry quadrille TO the delightful strains of
Geo. Fielding's band until aurora's beams
shed a bright lustre on the countenances Of
the gay dancers.
The supper, gotten up by the ladies Of
the district, to whom all credit is due, was
sumptuous 3; the managers were polite and
attentive. Many Of our most prominent
citizens did honor to the occasion by she'd
ding the light of their couutenance or the
whole affair. After all the guests doing full
Justice to the supper, there were left IN
touched two beautifully ornsmented cakes,
donated by Mrs. Kelly. Mrs. Leonard's
schoolgirls proposed o rattle them of, and
going around among the many liberal gen.
tlemen asking, Mr., take chance" they
soon realized handsome sum, after which
the cakes were raffled for-Miss SUSIE Nc
Govern winning the brides cake, and Joseph
Elliston ofthe 10th district, the bridegroom's
cake. There was a great deal of pleasure
and excitement concerning the latter cake,
as there was . ''tis' between Sam Donel-
SOD, Sam Gibson and Joe Elliston. On the
second cutting, Eliston was the lucky man.
Mr. Elliston, as is bis usual custom, left for
home in good season and before the draw
ing took place. Hugh Heverin acted as
his representative, and won the cake for
Joe. Hugh took the cake into bis arms
with as much care and tenderness as if it
were his first-born babe, carrying it some
where, Che writer knows not where,l nor
did Joe, as he had four sable couriers run
ming at right angles to each other through
the district even before Ph9bus opened its
golden portals in the east, inquiring for the
bridegroom cake. N'IMPoRTE,
