How saxon Count Received His Frien,

How n saxon Count Received His Friends.
A correspondent writes the following
OF a ball given by Count Lucknow at his
palace In the vicinity OF Dresden:
"Nothing of It's kind has been heard
Of since the days of Augustus the Strong
Of Saxony. The affair has created quite
a sensation In the fashionable world.
From one hundred and fifty to two hun
dred persons were present. AS the
Count is an unmarried man, her excel
lency Frau Won Fabrice did the honors
by receiving the guests. The road lead
ing to the Schloss was brilliantly illumi-
mated with large bonflres OF pine wood,
and the gorgeous interior arrangements
were such that from the moment you
entered the portal you were transported
into the realms Of fairy land. The floral
decorations OF the halls. rooms and
staircases were superb. No end to SER
wants in the Counts full livery. The
large suite Of rooms and the handsome
ball room were dazzingly Illuminated.
Two sumptuous suppers were served up
at 10 o'clock and 80 o'clock. Both
were announced by herald's playing the
Aida march.
"The tables, decked with profusion
Of flowers, displayed the handsome gold
and silver family plate. A military band
OF sixty pieces performed selection Of
the most rapturous music. At12 o'clock
the herald5 announced the cotil'ion,
the great attraction OF the evening"
which was unique In its kind. A blast
of trumpets announced each new figure,
which was so numerous that / can only
mention the principal ones. A large
hen, sitting on basket full Of golden
and silver eggs, each containing pres
emit for the DANGERS: A heavy snowfall,
one foot deep, lasting half an hour, and
completely covering the ladies and gen.
tlemen. Again blast OF trumpets, when
the ceiling opens and an electrical sun
shoots It's rays In the centre OF the
room, displaying the coat of arms OF Sax
ony and the counts monogram in
many pretty colors on the surface Of
the snow. Sudden darkness--reappear-
ance OF the sun, casting its rays at one
end OF the room on a tGbledU UjDGnt, In
the middle Of which Is magic fountain
OF many. colors - NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
krene, as 1t Is called here. The dancing
large shell descends filled with presents,
such as fans, bracelets, bOnbon1ieres,
laces and little nicknacks OF every de-
csription. A pause, each lady receives an
apron, ard each gentleman a basket to
tie on his back. A blast Of trumpets,
when lol and behold there is shower
Of the most costly flowers for fully ten
minutes. So ended this princely enter
tainment toward o'clock In the morn
ing. Many Of the gentlemen remained
to partake OF recherche breakfast, and
then to drive with the count in his four
INLAND to the city. It is said this ball
cost him 10000 marks $1,000 francs),
which Is very likely.

ALL FOR WAR.
The Preparations Greece is Making.
philadelphia Press.

ATHENS, March 21.-The government
bill creating a special military reserve
has given rise to exciting debates in the
Chamber of Deputies. The opposition
is not to the object Of the measure, but
to some of the provisions for carrying it
into effect. The bill will eventually
pass by great majority, for the Greeks
are convinced that ID the Russo Turkish
war, which now seems inevitable, they
must be prepared to play a part.
There is but little doubt Of a privity
of understanding with Russia. The
Queen is Russian by birth, and King
George is Russian in heart. Not that
either would sacrifice the independence
of Greece, or subordinate the interests
of the country they govern 70 Russia,
but they would accept her alliance II 1t
offered q chance Of realizing the hopes
OF the nation.
First of these is the extension of the
limits OF Greece northward, until they
shall include Epirus and Thessaly.
These two Turkish provinces are in
habited by people of the Greek stock,
protesting the Greek religion, and alto
pether alien in sympathy to their Mus
SULLIVAN rulers. They are agriculturists,
shepherds and seamen, and as such
would be valuable addition to the Hell
lenic population pursuing similar occu-
nations. In the port Of Volo, at the
head Of the gulf Of the same name.
Greece would obtain 3 commercial en-
frenot Of great Importance, and one Of
the best harbors on the Hgean sea.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-There Is re-
joicing among the Democrats here to-
night at the news from New Orleans and
the issuance Of the order for the with
drawal OF the troops at 10 o'clock next
Tuesday. The order of withdrawal was
determined on at the Cabinet meeting
to-day, after the reading of dispatches
from the Commission reporting the
Nichols Legislature had Returning
Board quorum in both branches; that
therefore one Legislature, whose
legality was unquestionable, was
duly organized, and that the
Packard government was rapidly dis
solving. At the White House the news
was received with gladness, for it saves
Hayes the disagreeable necessity Of
repudiating his own title. The speedy
demise OF the Packard government is
universally conceded. Indeed, dis
patch was received here, announcing
that 1t is already virtually dead. The
dispatch reads: "A stampede. The
fight is over. A quorum in both
branches OF the Nichols Legislature"

Tho Times seems to think that the

DEMOCRAT takes too roseate view OF
the financial condition of our State gov
eminent. That journal, which Is gen.
orally we'll informed in financial mat
ters. intimates doubt as to the ability
OF our treasury to meet the interest
on the consolidated debt in July.
Not protesting to be an authority
In such matters, but anxious to
obtain correct knowledge on the sub
iect. we have sought information from
persons whose duty and habit 1t Is, as
representatives of large foreign and do
mestic holders of Louisiana bonds, to
thoroughly acquaint themselves with
the condition OF our fiscal affairs. From
these sources we have obtained the fol-
lowing facts:
The old bonds which have already
been converted constitute debt
in new consois OF .....,......... S,3lo,34Z bI
The convertible outstanding bonds
will amount, when funded, to-. 2,435,08O w
Convertible state warrants ....... 1929 IS
The aggregate bonded debt, sfter
conversion OF outstanding bones
and warrants will be-. .Sll ,e67, loo IL
Amount OF interest thereon at per
oent... ..........,.---.....: o3V,fVV %
The July interest on the actual
funded debt will call for. ........- 326,lH 99
The July interest on the outstand-
ing convertible bonds and war
rants would amount to......... So,2OB %
The above figures show that the pay
ment OF the July interest on the bonds
already funded will involve an outlay OF
only $5z6, tit, and It seems To Hs absurd
to suppose that the State will have any
difficulty in making such payment.
The property of the State stands as
sessed at present, we believe, at STA
900, 900, on which sum the interest tax
OF 81 mills will amount to 1857 ,000-the
half OF which Is more than sufficient to
pay the July interest, not only on the
actual funded debt, but on the whole
sum which the bonded debt will ag-
gregate after the outstanding bonds and
warrants will have been funded.
In this connection we may state that
we learn that the State Treasurer,
Mr.. Dubuclet, has scrupulously and
honestly guarded the funds Of
the State which have been paid
over to him, and that he has
now on hand large amount OF money
to the credit of the State, which prob
ably belongs principally to the interest
fund. We conclude, therefore, that we
are entirely justified in taking a roseate
view Of our financial situation and In
predicting that, with our enormous re-
sources and the impulse already given
to our affairs by the Legislature in the
direction OF economy and reform, the
credit Of Louisiana will soon stand In
the markets OF the world as high as
that OF any other State in the Union.

After disposing Of Louisiana, the Cab
met wrestled with the civil service re-
form rules again to- day, but without
reaching a practical result. The osten
sible hitch is that the several members
of the Cabinet cannot agree as to
the amount of restriction which shall
be placed on the politics of civil service
employees. Shurz says they ought not
Sherman doesn't agree. The real hitch
appears that some don't want any civil
