a Rnll az RncK,nrham Palace.

A writer on British royalty says; The
levees and drawing rooms may be called
the court ceremonials These are be-
sides the court festivities, or the balls
and concerts at Buckingham palace
There are four or FIVE OF these given in a
season-two balls and two concerts. The
balls are the larger and less select, but
mach the more amusing The ballroom
of the palace is large, rectangular
apartment. AT one end is the orchestra,
at the other a raised dais on which the
"royalties" sit. On each side, running
the length of the hall, are three tiers of
beBehee, which are for ladies and such
gentlemen as can get P seat. The tiers
on the left side Of the dsis are fog diplo,
matists. English society has the tiers
on the other side. BY ten the ballroom
is usually filed by the people waiting for
the appearance Of The royalists. The
band strikes up, and the line OF princes
and Processes advance down the long
hail leading to the ballroom. The queen
and prince used iqFmerly to preside at
these balls. The queen does not come
uoy; the Prince and PRINCESS of Wales
take ber place. First enters a line of gen.
tlemen bearing long STICKS. Behind them
come the prineesses, boyiDg on each side
The Princess Of Wales ADVANCES FIRST,
With q native, laileyipg, hesitating STEP
strange apd quite delicious blending
of timidity and ehild-like confidence IN
her manner. Then comes, walking By
twos, some daughters OF the Queen. A
German Duchess or two follow her. The
aoartesies OF these German Princesses
are indeed quite wonderful After en-
tering tbe Hall one Of them will espy

person TO whom she wishes to bow, and
she then proceeds TO execute perform

the person to be salnled as a frightened
horse examines inteptly the object which
alarms him; she then sinks slowly BACK

would seem that such a genuHection
must be of necessity ridiculous. But it
is not so in the least; it is quite success

comes the Phaes 9f Wales and his
suite. TEE royalties then go EEop the

Mont Dore Les Bains.

A correspondent has the following in
an account Of Mont Dore les Bains, q
village in the Auvergue Mountains,
througed during The three months of the
year by French nvalids:
The baths are situated in broad
irough-like glen, which runs up into the
heart of'the Puy.de-Sancy, and is en-
closed by its steep preoipitous slopes.
1t is cluster OF gray aud white houses,
with gray roofs They build with lava,
they slate with 6ssile lava, and white
wash is their only attenpt at polychrome,
30 the effect is dull enough, For the
season, however, its streets are gay
enough, except that The number of real
invalids in the crowd is not enlvening
The waters are beneficial in va
rious affections of the throat and
lungs; thus the diseases which bring
patients are Of more serious class
than those treated at springs irequeuied
by the dyspephc and the enieebled,
where the malade imaginaire contributes
largely 10 the population The stairs of
the hotels, the streets, and the little
square in front of the baths are all alive
at an early hour with blae-blonsed por.
ters trotting up and down with primitive
sedan chairs, which look very like con-
verted sentry-boxes. In these chairs pa.
tients are shrouded from the keen morn
ing air, or it may be from eyes too prone
to notice the absence of arts finishing
TOUCHES. The treatment consists in
drinking glasses OF the luke.warm wa.
ter, in walking up and down a toggy
room, like an ill-ventilated laundry, to
inhale the vapor for which sprinkling
with the spray is sometimes substi-
tuted,. and in ordinary bathing-the
last two processes being separated by an
hour Of bed The days discipline being
now over, the dejeuuer follows, after
which the world" makes excursions,
returning to dinner about FIVE or six
o'clock, There is a tiny park near the
baths, with cafe at one end and pile
Of ruins at the other, consisting of bits
from an early Romanesque church and
various fragments of Roman buildings
lfor these baths have been in use since
days before those of Cesar; here soci-
ety drinks its coffee and walks up and
down to listen to rustic music or chatter
with itinerant peddlers till the evening
chill drives all indoors.

Saturday was a holiday ofthe Mormous.
At night it closed with grand ball.
How odd it sounds to hear ball an

lateral, vertical and other motions, not
one among all the women present dis
played an ankle, nor could the most cur
ious more than catch "a glimpse Of that
part of female anatomy. In dress, at
least, the Mormon women are modest aud
severe. But for the men-what shall |
say? They came, totally Indifferent to
personal appearance. A goodly portion
we're in working clothes, Hany we're in
their shirt sleeves, few had dressed their
hair, scarcely one had put on clean
shirt, scores wore no collars, and not a
few were flthily dirty, while the women,
en- masse, were clean, neat and tidy, not
few being tastefully arrayed in white.
The dancing was about four parts OF

A good old Methodist lady, very par

on carnal comforts than spiritual health,
so that in time her house became empty

The Right Way and the Wrong
Way

There are some men who would de-
stroy the Republican party to get rid
of an unworthy official. This would
be as sensible as the sinking of a ship
to get rid of rotten spar, or the de-
struction of crop of wheat to get
rid of few miserable weeds The
true way is to remedy defect as soon
as discovered If bad man is found
in an official position, get rid of him.
The sooner the better. This done, the
party is better than ever Republi-
cans should never lose sight of re,
form, but reform calls for improve
ment, and not wholesale destruction
Reform by substituting Democracy for
Republicanism, can never be attained
1t would be a movement backward
1t would be equal to supplanting the
civilization of the nineteenth centu-
ry with the barbarism of the dark
ages.
