MasqMsraAs.

Prof. Webster's masquerade ball last ev-
ening was an eminent success. At ~ o.
clock the ball commenced with grand
promenade, forty couples participating.
The costumes were eccentric, comical and
highly picturesque, sone of the ladies were
arrayed in costumes both unique and
costly.
The young ladies who were thus appareled
showed off to superb advantage.
At midnight supper was served at Mr..
Robinson's, and after bounteous repast,
they again repaired to the dance, and after
having spent an enjoyable evening, went
home in the wee sma hours.
The music was furnished by Messrs. e.
linger, Ritche and Worth.

EDITOR HERALD.-Last evening al about
O'Clock was walking up Market street,
on the east side, and as I approached Fifth
street I met two ladies, one of whom re-
marked to her companion, "they ought to
have better manners than to obstruct the
passage of public crossing" On crossing
Fifth street the reason of the lady's caustic
remark was revealed to me. Before me,
as advanced, stood four very respectable
looking young men, two ON each pathway
of the crossing, and about four feet from
the pavement, engaged in earnest conversa-
tion, and from the elf-suficiency of their
bearing, I supposed the subject under dis
cusson might be, "are we the makers, or
only the creatures of the universe ~ and
they must have been unanimous In the aff1r-
nation of the first part of the proposition,
for in the gushing eestacy of such csnvic-
tion they seemed to be oblivious to the
presence of mortals. I passed around them
and on, but curiosity prompted me to look
back after had gone almost square, and
they were still there, allowing all pedes-
triasn 10 pass around them. They were
inside the track of vehicles, otherwise they
might have been awakened to q conscious
ness of their humanity.
Now those young men are shining lights
in a galaxy Of high sounding, professionals
of piety and reform in this city. n

The II rOic Fireman.

During the fire in Philadelphia on Sunday
morning last, Frederick Newman, mem.
ber Of the Fire Patrol who was during the
fire at ssRogers' carriage factory buried in
heap of debris when the roof and floors
fell ia, died yesterday moring at the Penn
sylvania Hospital.
He had been very active and efficient
member of that valuable corps, and his as
ssciatcs as well as his many friends, must
keenly appreciate his loss. The position in
which lie lay when the ruins crushed In
upon him was terrible. He was thrown
upon his back land upon his breast lay three
beams, which, however, did not exert their
full weight upon him, as their ends had
been caught and held up by some wood
work. His feet were entangled in a carriage
wheel as he fell, rendering his extrication
still more difficult. Upon the beams fell an
immense heap of debris.
By careful and aasiduous labor the beams
were raised by the means of jack screws,
and the unfortunate man drawn out, after
passing eight hours of intense physical and
mental agony. The heavy weight resting
upon his chest made breathing difficult, land
the smoke was an a.glavation. The cramp-
ed position caused the blood to flow slug
gishly, and the lower limbs became numb
and almost paralyzed. He held out under
gentle stiraulants until within few minutes
OF his extrication, when he became uncon-
scious. When he was taken to the Penn
sylvania Hospital the opinion was expressed
that he would recover. His funeral will be
largely attended.

STILL TISKERING.-The Grecnsburg
Democrat says. "Some time ago this
Revenue District was merged in the
one at Pittsburg, and Collector Davis
was retained over the consolidated dis
trict. Now there is q rumor through
a Fayettc county politician, just re-
turned from Washington City, that
the Treasury Department has decided
to form new Revenue District of the
counties of Fayette, Westmoreland, In
diana, Jefferson and Clenriield, with
the Collectors office at Unontown,
and that Mr.. Charles s. Seaton is nam.
cd for Collector. This change will
take several counties from Collector
Davis District, and will wipe out the
Clarion District, of which Mr. Brown
is Collector. This will leave Mr.. Brown
without an Office" Why not wipe
ont this herd of Federal officials, and
collect the revenue due the Treasury,
through the State officers. 1t would
not cost hall what it docs now, and far
moro revenue would find its way into
the United States Treasury.

AN Eye ON TuEM-Mary Clemmer
has been drifting around Washington,
watching the movements of Senators
and Members Of tho House since Con.
gress assembled. She alludes to saeskl..
or Randall in this xa5F.-''Tho new
Speaker certainly sets a laudablc exam
pie of frugality in his mode of living.
He occupies very neat, but small and
plain house, in block of the size and
stamp usually occupied by third-class
clerks, or navy or army officers who
live on their small pay. 1t Is in direct
contrast to the ornate abode and costly
interior of his predecessor. Miss Grundy
say that Mr.. Randall is passionatoly
fond Of the study of astronomy, and
spends all the time he can spare from
politics staring at the planets. This
accounts for the seraphic expression
that occasionally comes over his face
even in the Speakers chair lie often
throws up his head, as if be were star,
gazing. 1t must bo an immense rcliei
when he is stung by any little flea
around him to turn his face up imagin
ing that he is contemplating Saturn OF
