Az IMMENSE AFFAIR.-The grand sheet
and pillow slip masquerade party, given
under the auspices Of the Terpsichorean
Social Club at Dyer's Hall, Reno, on
Monday evening last, WAS without =
doubt one OF the incest parties ever given
in Nevada. and the vOtlries Of Terpsi-
chore were unanimous in their express
sions of satisfaction at the success Of this
novel experiment OF the club, both tnan-
cially and in all other respects. The
novelty OF the affair probably contribu-
ted largely to It's success, aud one feature
peculiarly noticeable WAS that while all
were arrayed in the same caIb no two
persons looked Just exactly similar,
everyone having some peculiar charac-
teristic style. So elated are the club
with their success, that they now propose
for their last party irregular masquerade.

Railroad. Mr. Woodruff writes that
