At the beginning of the market there

There has been little improvement
in the market during the week, owing to
the comparatively light run, foliawing
the not very heavy receipts of last week,
but sales have been effected very slowly.

BALLS AND BALL ToILETTES.

a ball is really lin large city, a very
important matter TO all concerned, es
pecially the great charity balls, which are
the only public ones it is considered pro
per to attend. The cost of the great
Charity" ball (given for the benefit of
the Nursery and Childs HospitaD to
some persons, would support poor fami-
ly for year,
In the first place hundred dollars is
paid for a box, then new tollettes ale
ordered from Worth's and hot-house
flowers for every member of the party,
vet the items SO important to less wealthy
people in such case as this, are all left
out-thst is to say the carriage, the hair
dressing, and other minor matters,
which seem so insignificant, but
which in tho aggregate, and especially
if often repeated, cost no trltlinS sum.
1t is a serious affair TO young gentleman
who upon salary. of fifteen hundred
dollars year, lives (iu an attic, it is true)
in a fashionable boarding house, on u
fashionable avenue, keeps himself in ir-
reproachable collars and neckties, boots
and gloves and has to wear his dress coat
nearly every evening. The agonles those
poor fellows suffer no tongue can tell,
and it is safe to say that at least half the
usual calling upon young ladies has been
gwen up during the present winter In
consequence of pecuniary inability to
meet the requirements of escort to ball or
party. =.
If girls were willing to accept the sit.
uation they would have much better
times; but no, they must all be treated
alike, one must have everything that
another has, the carriage, the bouquet,
the supper, involving the expenditure OF
nearly weeks salary; and so, though
many are willing to be called, but few
are chosen.

BALL TolLHTTEs.

The senseless fashions and habits OF
the majority OF American people are
nowhere more plainly exemplified than
IN bail room. The girls are all dressed
like married women. There is none OF
that dISunctness which charaCterizes the
costume of the better classes in France.
or that fine and cultivated taste, which
renders simplicity in young girl obi
gatory. Their trains are AS long, they
wear as rich febrics and &c costly jewels
as their mammaS, and they require for
the proper arrangement of their drapery
fingers as practiced as those which place
in artistic. position the attire Of
A princess. Combinations of heavy silk
with satin, decorations of point lace and
diamonds are not uncommon IN the at.
tire of quite young girls, and OF course
these render necessary a thousand other
extravacanees. If young unmar-
ried women wore shorter, simpler
dresses ifthey were less ex;gent in the
matter of carriages ard other costly ac-
cessories; if. in short, with the passion OF
which they make pretense of the old
STYLES, they would for time At least,
take up their old habits, they would find
their opportunities for enjoyment greatly
increased, rs well as their chances III the
matrimonial market.
COMBINATION EVENING DRESSES,
A very serious mistake is often made
by persons in combining several shades
OF one color in evening dresses, especial
" ball dresses.
While very beautiful, if well designed
and executed for day wear, they are rare
ly elective by gaslight. The reason is
that the different shades do not light up

THE MORNING PRESS.

The P;covsse refers to an article In the ANoko
mas Register concerning the dcfaloation Of Mr..
Rapdlctt Tax Collector of the parish Of st.
Mary, to the extent OF about $4,000. 1t appears
that that defalcation Ia connected with the BY
pher bankruptcy case. and that part, at least.
Of the money has passed through the hands OF
Senator Sypher The matter had been put In
the hands of the Attorney General but for some
reason or other no action has been taken as yet.
The people are anxious to know whether Sena-
tor Sypher has retained the tax money individ-
ually or as member Of the firm. and whether
any public officer has stood in the way Of pun
ishment OF tho crime.
The Picdpr,ne's leading article is on The His
tory and Literature Of Suicide and contains
some interesting historical data on this terrible
mania, which seems to have increased 81 late
throughout the ontire world.
The Times says that the opposition OF the
Tammany Ring Of tho Democratic party. me
change in tho tone Of the New York Ho1fd ana
the action Of the informal conference of intlu-
entail Democrats at Albany. are proofs OF de-
cided hostility to the nomination Of Gov. Tilden
at St Louis by the Democrats OF News York. II
thinks that in tho face of such formidable oppo-
sition in his own State. Tlden ought to accept
tho suggestion Of the New York Herald about q
triumvirae II he wishes to retain any very
great influence in national politics that ia. turn
over his influence to some one more acceptable.
and take a secondary position.
About the Eastern question the Times believes
that II is not probable the matter will be settled
without bloodshed. France is awaiting develop
ments the Porte II threatened by the Berlin
memorandum, which England refuses to sane
ton. and the knotty problem appears to be ap-
preaching solution which may cost Eurose
n GOOD deal of blood and MONEY!

All a meeting Of the Board of Directors OF this
Company held on the 10th inst. the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved That those who are, or may be-
come voluntary subscribers to the capital stock
Of the New Orleans Pacific Railway Company,
and shall have made payments on their sub
scrptions prior TO the collection Of the tax i'm
posed by act No 90 acts OF 1876 shall be entitled
to credit on the unpaid portions of their vol
untary subscription equal to the tax paid by
them respectively, and all who shall have paid
their voluntary subscriptions IN full prior to the
| collection of said tax. shall on presentation at
the Company's office of the tax receipt, be re-
funded the amount of tax paid, provided the
same does not exceed the voluntary subscrip-
ton. and provided also that the city Of New Or
leans shall have paid over to the Company the
tax collected from such voluntary subscribers
prior to the demand by him for refunding.'
The law requiring the city administration to
submit the question Of taxing the property OF
the parish of Orleans one-half of one per cent
per annum for a period Of four years, to the
nualified electors of the city, for the construc
ton and equipment Of this road has been, part
" by the city authorities. partly by forensic In
genuity supplied by the Property Holders
Association. obstructed. thus delaying the sub
mission Of the tax question to vote OF tho real
people of our city.
This Board of Direction will not even in pros
ence Of judicial or other impediments. abandon
the enterprise our deserving citizens have so
greatly at heart. They Will continue -obstructed
haraAsed. crippled in resources it may be-but
they will resolutely persevore in the work thoy
have undertaken and will, as rampant of steel
stand between the New Orleans Pacific Railway
and al enemies. foreign or dom site.
The people can are satisfied in any event
construct aud equip their road by a little further
extension Of their generous support; but the
paltry tax they are temporarily denied the right
to impose would have Rufficed amply to have
com peted the road without n dollar OF indebt-
edness or q master. other than ourselves-the
people
We earnestly invite the attention of our fol-
low citizens to those who are opposing this vital
undertaking. and in confidence appeal TO them
to stand by and uphold us in our determination
to connect this city by rail with the groat and
growing State of Texas.
