on last Thursday evening. and was at
Tended by very large NUN Der OF ladies
ana gentlemen OF Pulaski and vicinity.
ne music for the occasion was selected
oy lady of elegant taste and was rem
uered Dy amateur ladies and gentlemen
OF Che city with charming effect, char
acteristic OF their talent aud OF the ex-
eeilent skill of their leader. The pro-
gram comprised selections from the
most fascinating and popular operas
ne palatiai apartments were profuseIv
Illuminated. Sol 0ccUJutt; nor RuEIa
Secatd eSt-and the guests were JOYOUS
AT tne lngenlus deception practiced up
on his majesty. Breathless attention
greeted the rendition of the concert. and
after an hour spent in elegant parlor
ciVlIues the guests were invited to par
take OF superb collation., and as they
were usheTed into the decorated haiI
where the tables were spread, involun-
tary expressions of delight fell from
every tongue. The tables were arrang-
ed IN two creScents, with cOncaves fac
ing, and connected by a middle bar or
taDle-a happy suggestion of the tie of
ahectlon which united the fair hostess
and her accomplished visitor-both res
ldents of the Crescent City. The deco
ratlons were made bv a Nashville res
taurateur, whose skill was exerted 20
render the array faultless. The whole
was suTmOunted in the center by mag
mticent ornament of candies woven into
a colossal and proportionate figure,
Ranked on the apex of either cres-
cent with beautiful pyramid, and sur
rounded on every hand, arranged with
iaultless precision, with every delicacy
known to cuisine art, and with nuts and
and fruits of raTest selection, all bearing
the impress of an exquisite adjoining
and presenting a brilliant exposition of
vidnds fit for kings palates.
After the inspiration of such music
and the animation of such feasting,
what was more appropriate to cap the
climax of ecstacy than resort to the
decorated dancing hall ?-and thither
the guests bnOyantly focked, and under
a bewildering melody of sounds, joyous
couples filed and relied through the
dazing, Grazing maZes of the dance
moving with concOrdant step in the
dazzling light of rejecting mirrors,
through the sweet scent of flowers, to
harmonious music strains.
The elegant hostess contributed with
peculiar and unparalleled art to render
the evening an occasion of delight and
the guests host of delighted partici-
pants, while Judge S., assuming with
regal urbanity the functions of arbiter
elegantidrana, put to flight and shame all
effort to initiate him in the princely
courtesy with which he dispensed hos
FATALITIES. The event was the most
gladstone of this or any other season in
Pulaski, and was initiatory of a custom
common to more pretentious Cities
May we all live to see many repetitions.
