THE BALL.

The brilliant parade of the Odd Eel
lows of yesterday closed in still more
brilliant ball last night. Tie west room
of the court house was crowded. and
packed at an early hour. The Dallas
City Cornet band, which led the pro-
cession during the day, discoursed
sweet music for the giddy walters.
The royal purple of the Encampment,
the glittering collars of past grands,
noble grands, and vice grands, con-
trasting with the brilliant toi.ettes of
the ladies, formed guy tout en-
semitic of colors which flashed before
the eye like the dissolving gems of u
kaleidoscope. Quite II number of la
dies, comparative strangers to Dallas
society, graced the occasion with their
presence. st. Louis had charming
representative in the person of Miss
Holiday, and Galveston in Miss Forbes.
Corsicana also sent delegation of
beauty with her Odd Fellows, and the
81 lver-tongued young orator, who held
his audience enchanted yesterday
morn, with the magic of his eloquence.
1t may be truly said of him, "upon his
tongue the mystic bee hath drop
ped the honey of persuasion.n
Nor must Lancaster and Mckinney
be forgotten. Each senta body of men
flying the same banner, "Friendship,
Love and TRUTH" to meet hearty aud
brotherly welcome from Dallas and
Trinity lodges. Nothing occurred to
mar the harmony and festivities of the
evening. The accommodation for
supper might have been more ample,
but the committee doubtless did all in
their power. The law was well repre-
scented in the ball room. Our hand
someyoung friends and brother knights,
Morgan, Gibbs, Thompson, Miers, were
among the most ardent votaries of
Terpsichore. We noted one of them
land he is not blonde either retire
to the east room of the court house
with a charming young lady in pink.
Both mounting the rostrum from
which Judge Hare listens to the ell
oquence of our legal Ciceros, and be-
hind the shelter of her fan, with heads
in dangerous proximity, he proceeded
to expound the law, and did some very
eloquent special pleading.
Thinking it a pity to spoil so charm
ing tableau, and after one glance, the |
reporter vanished. At midnight the |
dancers went in detachmentsto supper
and afterwards returned to the court
room, where the dancing was prolonged
until nearly dawn. Among the most
elegant toilets were Mrs. Jets, Mrs.
Grains, Miss Forbes, Misses Simp-
sons, Haynes, Sutherland's, Carz's

The Classification of Sheep.

Delaine is the generic French word
for wool, though it has become used to
designate fabric composed Of cotton
and worsted, which is known in market
by the formation of colored patterns
similar to calico on two or more frabics
composed of cotton worsted or silk.
The fabric originated mainly in the
effort of French to rival the English in
the production of combiDg wool from
the Spanish merino. The rambouletts
produced a wool which worked we'll
under the comb. and was too fine for
the ordinary hosiery and stuff goods for
which the English woods were so amira-
bly, suited. The French struck out a
new industry from their own wool which
the English could not initiate because
they did not have a supply of combing
wool of merino blood. A good delaine
wool must contain merino blood, and
length and strength of staple. In New
Zealand the English manufacturers are
stimulating the wool growers to develop
ducing very desirable delaine wool by
crossing the Cotswold or Leicester ram
on the merino eve. The result is a
heavy carcass, heavier fleece, a longer
staple, and altogether more profitable
sheep. A good deal of that kind of
wool has been imported into New York
from New Zealand during the past year,
and has commanded prices superior to
their best Australian woods. I have
urged, and still urge, the farmers who
have merino ewes to cross them with
Cotswool ram, as thereby they will add
to the value of their fiocks in q marked
degree. Merino or grade merino which
have leng b and strength of staple is
delaine wool, while the English mutton
sheep is the sheep for combiug wool.
That is the classification of breeds.

Atmospheric Phenomena in Italy.

A Rome letter to the London Echo,
dated July 10, runs as follows Padre
Secchi publishes an account of the sin
gular phenomenon which occurred at
Velletri during the violent thunder
storm of June %, and which is to be
ranked among the hitherto unexplained
caprices of nature. just as the tempest
was at its height, and the rain torrental,
six persons taking shelter in stable,
which was also occupied by three horses
harnessed to as many wine carts, wit
messed the following extraordinary ap-
pearance: A luminous mass rose from
the threshold of the door, entered the
stable, glided from one cart to another,
attracted, probably, by those fringes of
bells characteristic of the Roman wine
carts, and then passed through an iron
grating into the street. The bells rang,
the horses plunged, a woman and man
felt a certain giddiness, but no accident
happened. Outside the stable O car

Japanese Fan Decoration.

A New York correspondent of the
Boston Gazette says: What do you
suppose our people of taste are using to
decorate their honses with ? I don,
mind putting you on the track, for I
shall have laid in my stock before this
letter gets in print. They are using
nothing more or less expensive than
Japanese fans-the kind you buy for
three cents a piece. I fear, though, as
soon as the dealers find out they are
worth more to us, that they will raise
the price. For q couple of dollars You
can get some beautiful specimens Of
Japanese art, and unless you have tried
it you have no idea how beautiful it is
for decoration. Stick two or three fans
behind a picture, or up against the
chimney-piece, or back in the shelves
where you keep your old china. Iheard
of lady the other day who had a bor-
der of these fans running around her
parlor wall. A young artist I know
lives in q rented house which has q very
ugly plaster center piece on the parlox
ceiling. He could not afford to get a
new one, SO he has the offensive piece
stuck full of brilliant fans. Alma
Tadema had his beautiful drawing
room on the banks of the Thames deco
rated with these fans, and the effect
was striking and beautiful. Japanese
wall paper is expensive and hard to get;
so that we who have not the wealth of
Mr.. Russell Sturges have to content
ourselves with the fans, for which we
are truly grateful.

ments to Each Other.

In his letter challenging M. Paul dc
Cassagnac to fight duel with him, M
Rochefort said "The abuse for which
I ask satisfaction from you contains al
the same time an engagement on youl
part, from which it is impossible fol-
you to withdraw. Be good enough te

am not pardoned, pardon being only
granted to those who ask it but am
free. I demand the satisfaction which
you declare yourself prepared to grant
beforehand, and I beg you, moreover,
to prevent your honorable father from
warning the project of police. My two
friends, Pnissant and Bouvier, who
will hand this letter to you, will under
take to transmit your answer" In his
reply to this Mr.. de Cassagnac wrote
''Since you have had the condescension
to write to me permit me not to be-
hindhand to give you counsels. in
the first place do not put any armor
about you. It is good thing once in a
way; it would not be fair a second
time. Since I do not care about per-
petuating meetings of this kind, I
should very mucn wish that this not
over-convenient way of wearing a shirt
of mail should not save your life as was
once the case with me. Next, do not
forget your bottle of English smelling
salts. Your fainting fits have remained
famous, and I should be very sorry to
go so far as to unlace your stays and
administer perfumes to you."
The seconds of both individuals met,
but as already announced, they could
not agree to terms.

her. Then it flew toward her, whirling
several times round her knees with
great velocity. She felt sudden blow
on the head and fell to the ground but
the husband, who saw the whole APP
partition, on rushing to what he sup
posed was the corpse of his lightning
destroyed wife, found that she was only
stunned little. On recovering she
complained of pain in the scalp, and
her hair had become and remains dry
and rigid. After this last caprice the
meteor disappeared; and from the
quantity of SCOT which fell from the
chimney, it is supposed to have found
vent in thet direction. It was accom-
panied by loud defamation, but
whether on its first appearance, or when
it vanished, no one can say. These
details are gathered from a letter writ
ten to Padre Secchi, from the Meteoro-
logical Observatory at Velletri, and
published in the Voce della Veritd. of
July 8. After this one may believe that
Tranquil really did see a "lambent
flame" play around the head of Servius
Tullus in his cradle nor can the tale
of the stars, playing on the river
Moldeau, on the Prague, over the body
of st. Jean Nepomus, be 80 certainly
set down as pious fancy of the Middle
Ages, unsupported by natural phe-
nomena.

Crown Studs In Russia.

There are seven crown studs in Rus.
STA and one in Poland, containing
altogether 8, 602 brood mares and horses,
with twelve crown stables having 945
stations. The Carjanov stud, pur-
chased by the crown thirty years ago
from the heirs of Count Orloff, is di-
vided into three sections, one devoted
to pure English horses, another to sad
die horses, and the third to trotting
horses. The Derkuli stud breeds Eng.
lish carriage horses, the New Alexar-
drov, q kind of half blood saddle horse,
the Simarevsk thoroughbred Arabs,
and the Strjeletzl Oriental horses. In
the Orenburg stud horses are bred for
the light cavalry and the artillery.
Russia further possesses 2.444 private
studs, having 6, 400 stations and about
70, 200 brood mares, besides upward
of SO, 900 stations and $40, 900 brood
mares in the Capack and steppe "tabu-
nes." Horse breeding has increased
on private estates since the emancipa-
ton of the serfs, and many of the studs
have been broken up, and have passed
in part into the hands of the peasautry.
In Russia there are $50 horfe fairs, at
which about $50, 900 animals are an
nually sold, out of about 263, ZOO are
brought to market. The average price
of a horse is go roubles-about $50.

Queen yic's Common Kindness.

In noticing the English. Gypsy
songs" by Miss Tuckey, we omitted "a
mention that one of the poems in the
book, entitled "Told near Windsor" is
founded on an incident in the Q 1een'e
life, but little known out OF the
charmed Rommany circle. One bitter
wintery day, when the enow was lying
thick all over Windsor park, gypsy
family were crossing it, when the tent
had to be suddenly pitched, the pangs
of labor having overtaken the mother.
A few sticks were hurredly gathered,
but there was hardly any time to
scrape away the snow and get the fire
Lit before the gypsy woman gave birth
to twins. The park-keepers, of course,
came up, and ordered the tent to be
taken off the ground. But the birth of
the twins in the snow under her windows
reached the ears of her majesty, who at
once sent food and drink and clothing to
the wanderers. Amongst the presents
we're some babies wooden stockings, knit
by her majesty's own hands, and pair
of blankets. which, but short time be-
fore, b ad lain on state bed. Gypsies
repeat this with great pride, and "the
socks knitted by the Queen of the
Gorgios are frequently referred to by
them when they speak of deeds of
thoughtful and timely charity.-1he
