Christmas Ball.

There was magnificent ball at
the Court House on Christmas
night, characterized by beauty
refinement and grace. The ladies
were there in all their. loneliness,
splendidly attired, but the most
attractive and beautiful that we
saw were those who discarded the
extremes of panniers, bustles and
kangaroo attachments, thereby
allowing free and natural play to
their beautiful forms, in the mo-
tons of the dance. Beauty, un-
adorned by the monstrosities of
fashion, is certainly most attrac-
tive to sensible gentlemen.
The gentlemen were we'll dress
ed and as gallant as possible. Isaac
Levi, of the Colorado Hotel,
spread nice lunch at II o'clock,
with excellent hot coffee and other
good things. The ball passed off
to the great enjoyment of all the
participants and spectators, of
whom we were a prominent "wall
flower" until we had completed
observations and taken the above
notes.

Christmas Festival.

The festival given by the teach
ers and friends of the public school,
on Christmas eve, to the pupils of
that institution, was most beau
tiful and entertaining exhibition,
and one to call forth the best feel
ings of the heart from all the spec
tators. The Court House was
beautifully decorated and festOon
ed with wreathes and mOttOs
made of green branches, and the
grand stage and arch were encir-
cled with the same material,
while countless wax candles fash.
ed their light from every nook
and corner. The house was filled
to overlooking by the scholars and
their friends. The music by the
organ, accompanied by melodious
and joyous voices, was excellent
and inspiriting; the recitations by
the pupils of the school were rem
dered in praiseworthy manner;
the presents distributed were re-
ceived with bounding hearts; and
last, but not least, the personation
of "Santa Claus" by our worthy
Mayor, was most excellent COM
plete and unapproachable. Every
body felt better for being there.
There was only one draw back,
and that was, that the hall, though
large. was not half large enough
to contain the people who wished
to witness the interesting specta-
Gle. Much praise is due to the
committee, and especially to Miss.
Post and her assistants, for their
untiring energy in so beautifully
fitting up the hall and carrying
out the programme to perfection.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. G. |
Dec. 18th, 1876. {

Dec. 18th, 1876. !
Editor SentineI:-
The politicians here say that the
Governor of Oregon has been and
gone and done it. He has opened
upall the avenues that were sought
to be opened and it will take a
prophetic vision to tell now just
what will be the result. A good
deal depends on which foot the
shoe pinches and now that the
position of last week is reversed.
The peace policy of one party is
turned into war and the war sound
of the other has eased down to the
cooling voice ofpeace, ''let us have
Peace" and the best way to ac-
cOmplish it as | heard a western
man say, is to hang all the politi-
clans l dc not apprehend any Sc
rious troubles. AL of the best
men of the South, Gordon, Steph-
ems, Lamar, and even Ben. Hill
are calm and trusting in the good
sense of the statesmen of the 9th
er party. Committees of investi-
cation have been appointed on the
part of the House and also the Sc
nate to visit the different South
ern States. The entire ground
will be gone over and the reports
of these committees will go for to-
wards settling many disputed
questions. Before another Presi-
Dental election rolls round let us
so amend our constitution that the
people shall vote direct for the
man of their choice, and thus
avoid the cumbrous and useless
medium of an electoral college.
Nothing of Importance has yet
been done at this session, in fact
nothing is ever done until after
the holydays when our Legislators
go home for a weeks recreation
and return to draw their two or
three hundred earned while away.
A proposition is made to collect
together in a suitable building all
of the articles belonging to the
United States and those donated
by foreign governments that have
been on display at our great show,
(the CentenniaD, and thus create
a national musuem. This can be
done at comparatively small ex-
pense and will form a collection
at once interesting, instructive
and valuable. Holman, of Inda.,
known as the "great objector" is
quiet this session, bis constituents
have invited him to stay at home.
Blaine is over in the Senate and
Butler doesn't come in till after
March 4. This leaves the House
rather tame, the lions are all out,
and J. Proctor Knott and Ben
Hill can find no fOeman worthy of
their steel (O as they think. Just
wait till old Ben Butler hops into
the arena with his red handker-
chief. G.

MALICIOUS PRosECUTION.-The liquor
interests of Winthrop, DESTROYS of mani
Testing their spite against the better class
of the community and their revenge for
late prosecutions for violations of the
laws, few days since procured the arrest
and removal to Dubuque of the well
known ana reputable firm of Hildreth &
Risk, on the trumped up charge of viola
ting the revenue laws in selling liquor
without license. The transaction upon
which the charge was founded occur
red two or three years ago, and was easily
susceptible of explanation in way that
would eXenerate the firm from all inten-
ton to sell liquor, or to violate any law.
The simple facts were that Mr.. Hildredth,
in 1878, bought two gallons of alcohol for
his own use in preparing washes, &c, pre-
scrioed by physician for Inflammation of
the eyes. In his absence, and without his
knowledge, clerk sold a portion of this
alcohol, ana that is the whole offense.
On this showing, of course, Messrs. Hill
dreth & Risk were released on their own
recognizance, and probably nothing more
will be heard of the matter. 1t is I'M
doubtedly pure piece of malice, as these
two gallons of alcohol are all the spirits
that have been kept IN the store during
thirteen years trade, and that was sold
by an irresponsible party in the absence
of the proprietors

BEEswAx," the junior editor of the
paper across the way, occupies a liberal
space in this weeks issue. His style is
very similar to that of the chief editors,
there being just enough variation to dis
tinguish one from the other. 1t may in
tcrest the reader to know how "Becswax"
is inspired for editorial work He is
wrapped up in exchanges, carried about
in them, and allowed to sleep III them until
thoroughly saturated with their contents.
He is then let loose upon the Conservative,
much in the same way that Foley, the
Democratic Congressman from Indiana,
was let loose upon his deestric" some
years ago His natural Stiffness is in this
way colored and modified according to
the character OF the paper that formed
his last wrapper. The senior editor, how
ever, is subject to no such conditions
His editorials flow from perennial fount
of Stiffness, that knows no fluctuation or
retardation of its volume. 1t is ever the
same, and is free form any suspicion of ad-
mixture of sense, native or foreign. OF
course our readers will excuse US from
the invldious task of deciding which
carries off the palm of shallowness.

How TO IMPROVE Our Stock OF HORSES.
Farmers and all others interested in
breeding better horses in this country
should answer the following important
questions:
Do you want to breed larger and bet
ter class of horses? Do you want to
breed horses you can always sell for q
large price? Do you want to breed horses
that are tough, hardy, and easily kept?
Do you want to breed horses that are
spirited and lively, yet kind and gentle,
and no trouble to break? Do YOU want
to breed horses to plough deep, and there
by increase your crops3
You can raise such horses from our
common mares and an imported Norman
stallion. 1t has been demonstrated by
years of trial without failure, and they
are to-day the most popular breed in
America.

man stallion CGur de Lion, at Wigwam
