PROF. MARINI.
Floral Nav Festival and Ball


Another Of the regular annual May balls which
have been given for the past sixteen years by
Prof. L. G. Marini took place last night and was
we'll attended, the parents and friends of the
children receiving instruction in thepoite accom-
plishment making up the bulk Of the assemblage.
There was a sprinkling Of prominent visitors,
such as Secretary Robson and Mrs. Lawrence,
the Peruvian Minister, Mrs. 1ngersoll and dRugh-
tiers, ETC., who expressed themselves as highly
delighted with the fine decorative display, the
elegant appearance and perfect movements Of the
children VINO took part in the exercises, and the
worshipers Of Terpsiehore who occupied places in
the sets.
The throne of the May Queen was very hand
some in design and execution. 1t was placed on
dais far above the floor. The columns which
supported the canopy were entWined with strands
of flowers and cedar and strips of liRht-Weigbt
fabrics of white and the delicate shades of red
and blue az extracted from the elemental colors.
Two American hags were hung in the rear OF the
Queens seat. The only reminder in the system
OF decoration Of the original May celebrations OF
Merrie Ole England was in the various coIored
streamers which were attached to the intersec.
tions Of the ceilings with the WALL and converging
in festoonal curves at the splendid crystal chan.
deliers pending from the centre Of the ceiling
and forming substitute for the May pole.
The coronation exercises were, perhaps, the
attractive feature Of the evening, and the excel
lent music by Donch's band tended greatly to en-
liVen the time.
Miss Emma Stewart sat Queen Of May, and
the following ladies performed the rite Of core
nation, attended with speeches and responses:
CroWn-bearer Miss Mary EntWisIe: flower girls
Miss Mary B. Lathrop Miss Shafer, Miss Carrie
McCallum, Miss Hattie Knapp, Miss Nellie
Walker; Lady Hope, Miss Flora Van Anken;
maids of honor, Miss Jessie 5. Gaddis, Miss
Louise Brodhead, Miss Kettle Johnston, Miss
Mary Halsted.
This galaxy of beauty was attended by the
entire school.
This was followed by q variety Of fancy Dances
which gave the elder portion OF the gathering a
a keen zest for the enjoyment Of the regular pro-
gramme and making Up their lists with the usual
partialty, they commenced the dancing with I'VE
came 70 stay" expression on their countenances.

was an interchange Of opinion concerning the
present condition Of the pavement between the
Capitol gate ard the Treasury Department, and,

to the history of Pennsylvania p avenue psvements
the action Of the Government thereanent, and
Of the expense borne by property holders, aud
OF Public Works had had nothing WI atever to do
with the laying Of the last pavement.
The discussion was particular and unanimous
Concerning the necessity for a new pavement; the
willingness Of property holders on the Avenue TO

expense, and to second with zeal any definite plan
the Commissioners may adopt for the required
improvement, and yet 1t is fair to say that the

landlord and Tenant Case.

On Monday last the case Of Ellen WEIGH
against William ToneY was heard by Justice A.
s. Taylor, the following being the facts as shown
by the evidence: The defendant had occupied a
house, owned by the plaintiff, for two years or
more. as a monthly tenant only. The seven days
notice to quit the premises had been served, but
the plaintiff was non-suited. A thirty days
notice was then served, setting forth the tenancy
as beginning at q different period in the month
from that set forth in the FIRST notice, and then
third notice was given, agreeing as to time with
the first. Meantime the defendant vacated the
premises before the time set forth in the second
notice. The defendants counsel, James p. Tus-
tin, made the point, that If defendsnowas liable
at all for any rent, he WAS only liable for much
of the rent Of one month in which he occupied
the premises after the serving Of the first notice
to quit. The defendant showed by receipts and
OF her credits that the amount sued for did not
correspond with the amount paid, nor the period
he was claimed to have been a tenant The
Justice decided that the defendant was not
liable for the whole amount claimed, nor for any
unpaid rent not included 10 the action.

Mr.. b. r. STEVENS:
DEAR SIR: We have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine Of the greatest alue.
We feel assured that IL has been the means of
ing our sons life. He Is now seventeen years Of
age for the Is st two years he has suffered from
cToss OF hisle caused by scrofulous affection,
was so far reduced that nearly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible. council OF able
physicians could give us but the falntest hope of
his ever rallying, two Of the lumber declaring
that he was beyond the reach Of human remedies;
that even amputation could not save him, as he had
not yigOr enoUg Oh to endure the operation. Just
then we commenced giving him VEGETINE, and
q ON that time the present he has been continu
ously improving. He has lately resumed studies,
thrown away his crutches and cane, and walks
about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
open ming where his limb was laneed, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
TINE. but lately uses but little, as he declares
that he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully, yours,
