4 friend remarked to me the other day
that "all Cincinnati goes to clubs They
are as plentiful as complications" in Wash
inston. Nobody is anybody who does not
belong to one, two, or half dozen. There
are men clubs, women clubs, boy clubs, girl
clubs, bachelor clubs, and benedict clubs
There arc dancing clubs, drinking clubs,
dramatic clubs, musical clubs, artists clubs.
literary clubs, historical clubs, whist clubs,
stuffed clubs, and any other kind your mag
nation may suggest. There are clubs to the
right of you, clubs to the left of you, clubs
all round you. There are clubs in the high
school, clubs in the low school, clubs in the
district school, clubs in the Sabbath school.
In fact, you are so completely hemmed in by
,lubs, that you find it impossible to escape
from them. Cincinnati is as much city of
clubs as she is of stump-tailed churches, and
he must DO an unsocial savage who finds it
impossible to please his fancy.
THE CLARK LITERARY CIRCLE,
which is The club Of the city, have issued
about two hundred invitations for grand
ball on the 30th, at Rice's Hall. An agree.
able and pleasant time is anticipated. The
Circle and its prominent members are so
we'll known and esteemed, that the leader
ship in all social matters b given into their
hands. Thus far they have been found equal
to expectation, and trust will continue to
deserve the confidence reposed in them.

the price of beef and the number OF marriages

weddings arc numerous, and rieerers Gin.
