San Francisco, Feb. odd The
celebration of Washington's birth
day by the National Guards, at the
the Preside, was complete sue
cess, everything passing off in a
satisfactory manner. About nine
o'clock Company G of the First
Regiment arrived on the ground
for the purpose of performing
guard duty. By half-past ten all
the troops of the Brigade had
reached the rendezvous. The
parade ground is abouta mile long
and half mile wide, guarded by
San Francisco Hussars and a detail
from each regiment in the Brigade.
A number of police also were on
the ground. Owing to a slight
delay, usual attendant on the move
ment Of regular troops, the line
was not formed until nearly eleven
o'clock. The Third Regiment was
on the right, followed by the Sec
ond Regiment Cavalry Battalion,
and First California Guards light
battery. Shortly after II o'clock
Major General Coey assumed COM
mand; at 11:3O o'clock the Light
Battery fired a salute of Is guns in
honor of the arrival of Governor
Booth. who was accompanied by
his staff, Major General Thompson

followed by advance in line, exer-
cises in firing by company and
battalion, various maneuvers in
line and column, with change of

Trnou AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT

Being at Carson last Friday even
ing. we were kindly invited by the
gentlemanly managers to attend the
first annual ball of the Knights OF
Pythias.
Upon entering the Hall, we were
agreeably surprised to find it beau
tifully and artistically decorated with
wreaths of evergreen, Landscapes,
portraits of eminent men, flags and
mirrors, which together with the
paraphenalia of the order, rendered
the effect unusually pleasing. AT
one end of the Hall was conspicu-
ously displayed in gold letters these
words: GA Knightly Greeting TO
our Friends; and at the other end
of the Hail, where was placed the
band. the national and other flags
were beautifully festooned in and
about the platform.
The attendance was large, not less
than one, hundred couples being pres
ent. 1t was conceded tie ball of the
season. The ladies were tastefully
and in some instances very nicely
dressed; and in connection with the
regalia of the knights, made bril-
liant appearance. The music was
excellent, as it could not have been
otherwise, with Cara and his cornet.
Where there were so many pretty
women present, it might perhaps be
ungenerous to particularize; but as
usual in all cases like these, it would
no doubt be expected, and we have
selected a few who attracted us,
either by their beauty, grace in dane
ing or tasty apparel.
Miss Pm; demi- blonde; was beau
tifully dressed in white Tarlatan,
trimmed with York lace, and hair
a la Medora. She was pronounced
the belle of the ball.
Miss K-r; brunette; Swiss, floun-
ced and pulled. Wine-colered silk
bodice and sash.
Miss BE; blonde; white and
green silk, cherry trimmings, Swiss
polonaise, trimmed with Valen-
cennes lace.
Miss K-l; demi-blonde; snuff
colored brocade silk. Expensively
trimmed in the latest style with Val
encennes lace. Hair la Medora.
Miss S-g; blonde; Tarlatan dress
with length-wise pu1ts covering the
front breadths, and a deep panier
puff with knife pleatings, below in
with popples.

pleasure of the day /; although a
SLIGHT fracas occurred, occasioned
by unruly behavior on the part OF
citizen, who, being forced back
from the parade ground by a
puard. drew a revolver, but before
he could use it, was knocked down
by the guards and taken to the
euard-house. Late in the after
noon the Brigade was dismissed,
and with the spectators, OF whom
a great number were in attendance,
returned to the city.
The literary and musical exer-
cises at the Pavilion, this evening,
promise to be of much interest and
well attended.
The weather has been all that
could be desired, and the citizens
during the day have very generally
given themselves to the enjoyment
of the holiday.

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MEN.-O

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MEN.-Of
those who engage in business on
their own account only three out of
a hundred escape failure, and only
five out of hundred succeed in
avoiding an entire collapse of their
first effort. OF those who at some
time or other have in hand rea-
sonable competence and may be
said to have succeeded in business,
ninety per cent. are still the sub
iects of after reverses Of some sort,
so that only ten per cent. OF the
successful ones keep their fortunes
mistaken. No two things should
be more strongly impressed upon
the young men Of our country than
the insecurity of riches, even when
acquired, and their unsatlsfylng
character. There is no fallacy so
universally cherished as the notion
that wealth is surely means OF
happiness. The care of a large
property is one of the most bur
densome of earthly trusts. The
man who is earning a good

wealthy man, who, if he gave jul
diciously in answer to every honest
appeal to his benevolence, would
soon divide his entire estate among
the beneliciaries.

A Child Saved.

In his Sunday morning sermon at the
Rink in Brooklyn Mr.. Moody gave an
account of = young lady who was sent TO
. fashionable boarding school. where she
met one faithful Christian, whose example
and influence led her TO conversion.
When she returned home her parents
were annoyed to find her Christian, for
they wanted her to mingle In the first cir

bold and striking apostrophe. what 10

In dainty drawing.rooms, among silken

carpets, No; the first circle Is around
