The MASQUERADE.

The Masuuera given by the Turn
Verein at their hall last night was one
of the-most elegant affairs Of the kind
ever attempted In this city. The hall
was handsomely decorated with flow
ers and evergreens, the American and
German flags gracefully festooned,
forming a prominent feature. The
hall was SO crowded that standing
room was not to be had at an early
hour In the evening. The evenings
entertainment was opened at a quarter
of ten with grand promenade, fol-
lowed by quadrille, after which fam
cy dances ruled the floor. At twelve
the masks were removed, and supper
was shortly after served. Dancing
was continued till nearly daylight.
The characters were well supported
especially "Uncle SAM" the " Devil"
the Astronomer" the Morning
STAR and the "Goddess of Liberty"
Many others are worthy of mention,
but our space forbids.
The following is a complete list of
those present, and the characters re-
presented: aItaGL# qt81l-

Indians lying drunk on the corner of
Los Angeles and Commercial streets,
near the White House
Mr.. Harris took them in charge, and
escorted them to Main street, where
officer Csrpenter. relieved him OF one
Of them.
To relieve the monotony of the
promenade, one of the DRINKS would
occasionally lie down in the street till
the officers convinced him he had bet
ter go on to his promised lodgings.

This excellent troupe have been per-
forming to small houses during the
past week, and while their entertain
ments have been of the highest char
acter, we regret to say, that their visit
to this city has not been remunerative.
The bill that has been selected for
Tuesday night, on the occasion of Mrs.
Phelps benefit is one that ought to at
tract crowded house, and for the
credit of our town, We hope the amuse-
ment-loving public will turn out in
full force. tal-a faaH ~ t##...# #t.

All the miners in the employ of the
Arizona Association, says the Winnie
mucca Register of February Goth, have
been discharged and the mine shut
down. In consequence thereof all the
millsin the place are, closed except
one, which is kept running on tailings.
They were forced to close the mine for
the reason that the snow was so deep
that it was found impossible to use the
tramway.

his course q wise one. A reduction of

thezo is no longer any diUerouco between that
papoE and The TRIBUNE on this vital question Of

With THE TRIBUNE puRition. It8 abandonment of
tho Democratic faith is recognized sufficiently !;
