Scenes al an Enclish Ball.

Since the grand entertainment
given to The Prince of Wales at the
Guildhall of the City Of London,
the full effects of that most beauti
full crush have come to light. loss

they were rather the rule than the
exception. Among other things /
hear that the Duchess Of Manches-
ter lost one EARRING of the value of
81 zoe, and has not seen or heard
anything Of it since. Another lady
had the pleasure of seeing her dia-
mond comb, valued at e5, 800, trod-
den into dust beneath the feet of the
dancers, without being able to get
sufficiently near to rescue it from
destruction.
4 curious discovery was made in
sweeping the hall after the dance
Some months ago Lady Dudley, the
most beautiful peeress at present
living, was robbed Of Jewels to the
amount Of $50, 900, which had been
carelessly left in case at a railway
station. i beautiful antique agraffe,
resplendent with diamonds and EN-
eralds, was found on the floor Of the
Guildhall. and las since been recog-
nized as one of the articles which
were stolen from Lady Dudley. No
claimant for it has at present ap-
peared. Several awkward con,re-
temps occurred during the evening,
owing to the plentiful manner in
which invitations had been scattered
about. A lady who had been di-
vorced from her husband met him
at the supper table and Immediately
went into Mysteries.
One incident which [ heard rather
pleased me. Some bearish young
city man persisted in pushing a
Lieutenant of the Navy, and when
the latter demonstrated, complained
that it was the fault of some one
else. At length the sal or received
a push that he saw was intentional,
and which caused him to hurt the
lady to whom he was speaking. Af-
ter finding her a seat he went in pur-
suit of the aggressor, and with the
exclamation, "Now, sir, Tn going
to punish you," he seized the two
tails Of the culprit's coat and tore
them right up to the collar, then
united his cravat and walked off.

RATHER PROPHETIC
Some Biblical student has furnished

Some Biblical student has furnished
the Patriot with the following;
"Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth
and their seed from among the children Of men
For they intended evil against thee they im-
agned a mlscbievous Device shioh they are not
able 10 perform. Therefore shalt thou make them
turn their back, chen thou shalt make ready ihins
upon thy strings against the lace Of them"
--2la Psain.
The Psalmist must have alluded to
the present period. The fact that the
Democrats have utilized allthe wrongs
perpctratcd on the country by the op-
position for the past fifteen years, for
the benefit OF the country and their
party success, is in harmony with the
above. 10 illustrate still farther: Our
opponents made voters out of the negro
trace on this continent, against the un-
yersal protest Of the Democrats, for the
purpose of retaining power. A debt
9th REF THOUSAND MILLIONS
OF dollars, was created and the bonds
divided among their party friends for
future party use. And, yet, it seems
that the Democrats, have in the recent
election, utilized these powerful forces
50 completely, as TO gain party ascend
ency in the Government. The negro
voters largely turned in and cast their
ballots for our nominees, and the bond
holders have taken the ragamufiins by
the throat demanding fair count, Tor
