NEW YORK, April 27.-The Women's Cenren
NAL Union Of this city On Tuesday evening
gave grand ball at the Academy to RAISE fund!
to promote the proper representation Of thif
State at the great Philadelphia show. It was
intended to be grand affair, and, as one OF the
| morning papers remarked, it Was success II
everything but the crowd,-which recalls re-
mark attributed to Abraham Lincoln, who, On
being called to window to observe passing
| cavalry company, said that, excepting the men
and horses, it was the fuest troop he had seen
in Washington. We'll, the Centennial Ball
brought in the dimes, and that's what the man
/ agers we're after. Confdential1y, may inform
you that the real bona ide upper-ren Of New
York society have voted these Centennial and
Lady Washington receptions bore, and will
have nothing more to do with them. The Feb
| ruhry ball, which Was such crushing affair in
| several aenHes, took away all the enthusiasm OF
| the aristocracy for such proniscuous parties,
and by common consent they are to be hence
forth avoided. AB thEee-fourths Of our pleasure
| seekers in what is called society are mere imi-
tators. and ape the manners Of their aristocratic
friends, Centennial parties Il. g., public parties

buy ticket) have been tabooed,

Incredible aB it may seem, there is an institu-
tion close by this city where it is supposed some
special healing merit is found in the presence
of ancient Catholic relics. It is located in West
Ho5oken and is known az the Monastery OF the
Passionist Fathers. There is chapel attached
to the monastery, and here the Fathers have
labored for nearly twelve years building and
raising funds and adding to their property.
