A young editor of Avondale, o., de-
scribes his experiences and what he saw
ut = lesp-year ball. He says: "The
ladies opened their own dainty and per-
fumed pockets books, and took the pin>
money which they had been laying aside
to purchase lace tie, new spring bonnet,
or s.me other knick knack of fashion,
and looted the bills like little men. And
another nice feature was the fact that the
gentlemen were called for in elegant car
riages by their fair escorts. After the
gentlemen had made their toilets and
pulled down their three buttoned vests,
they descended from their boudoirs to
the parlors OF their luxurious homes, and
there, in wraps and shawls, with their
dainty feet encased in rubl,crs to keep
from catching cold, and chatting with
their mammas about their last new suit,
they awaited the cnming Of their lady
escort. 1t was found by the gentlemen
to be delightful experience. And then
it was S" nice to SIT around in chairs, all
in a row, next to the wall during the
evening, looking 81 sweet, while waiting
for the young ladies to call around and
say, May l have the pleasure of the next
waltz with youl'"

OLD MEN IN NEW YoRK.-Mnny of the
most respectable places in firms and cor
porations are held by men OF 70 or there
abouts, and they evince no disposition to
retire. New York is noted for vigorous
old men. In no city on the Continent,
and in hardly any city in Europe, Can SO
many hale, active men of IS and upward
lie found. Walking in Broadway, Wall
or Broad streets, in Fifth avenue Or any
of the principal tboroughfarcs, one can
hardly fail to- he struck by the gray or
white hairs and wrinkled faces coupled
with erect, elastic forms. and surpleness
and rapid,ty OF movement. There appear
to he numberless ancient heads on CON-
parative young shoulders. The opinion
long prevailed that raral regions and
rural pursuits favored longevity, but if it
were 8" once, which is very dubious, it is
not SO nOw.-Nen York Times.

In nearly all soils ashes are beneficial.
Their action is twofold; they supply to
plants inorganic constituents which they
require, and they act chemically as solv-
ents upon other salts in the soil, or they
neutraIize acids, etc. They are more bene-
fetal on sandy and gravelly lands than on
clay. For plants that contain large
percentage OF potash and phosphoric acid.
as carrots, turnips, potatoes and cab
bages, ashes are essential manure.

BURoLARY.-An attempt was made to
burglariZe the residence OF John II. Hall,
Esq, on Fourteenth street, early yester-
day morning. His daughter was awak-
ened by the movements Of some one in
the room, and in moment match was
struck and held over her face by man
who looked to see whether she was asleep
or not. Satisfied that she was, he turned
to enter the room OF her father, near by,
when she screamed, and the burglar,
frightened, ran down stairs and out OF the
house by the front door. A suit OF clothes
belonging to Edgar Hall was stolen. It is
supposed that the intruder obtained ad.

outsiders" Miss Hall is confident she
would recognize the burglar Il she ever
saw him again. Her presence Of mind and

face, and she alone in the room, was re-

A Boon FoR GIN. GoFB.-A Propoition
to InJtdict for Him for Wee Presidsnt.-1n
conversation with an lATEIIIaENcER re.
porter Yesterday, Col. John w. Mason, OF
Grafton, made proposition witch prom.
ised 70 become popular. II is that the
convention to-day, ''aiter instructing for
Blaine, as II possibly will do" also in.
struct the West Virginia delegates TO Chi
cago TO cast their vote for Gen. Nathan
GofI, Jr., for Vice President. OF course
such a vote could only be complimentary,
but Col. Mason thought that It would be
a graceful thing 10 do, and nothing more
than q deserved compliment to one Of the
leading Republicans Of the State. The In.
TEILidRScER man sought the opinions OF
other prominent delegates, and found q
surprising unanimity among them in "a
yor OF the plan. Aside from the compile
ment to Gen. Gof, 1t was suggested by
several delegates that the casting OF West
Yirginia's vote for him in the National
Convention would bring him into promi-
nence among the representative Republic
cans OF the land, and thus give him q Ger:
tain influence which might be ayailed OF
10 secure able men from abroad to assist
| in the canvass in this State. Some per-
sons even suggested that It was not too
late TO start "boomn OF fair proportions
| for West Yirginia's favorite son in sure
enough earnest. He has many qualitca-
tons which eminently fit him for the posi-
ton, and the party might do much worse
than to choose him as It's second standard
bearer.
| tbnnuht the IDEA n PARTICULARLY brilliant
one. His county, Mason, was the only
one in the Third district which gave Gen.
Golf q majority for Governor, and they
are still in favor OF him, Mr.. Willard says,
for any position he will accept
Mr.. Huling, from kanswha county

too strongly. He was In favor Of Col FOL
anything, he would like to see him U
S. Senator, Governor, or Vice-President.
Mr.. Cracrait, Of Charleston, editor o.
the Leader, had thought Of the matter be
fore. He believed II a man with powel
and force enough to make the Chicago
Convention listen TO him would get up
portray the situation Of affairs in Wes
Virginia and tell something Of her pas
history, tell who Gof Is and what he hai
done, he might induce the convention Il

upon him, which was returned to Prof.
Pendleton. a diamond ring, belonging
to Mrs. Lamar, his daughter, was, howev-
err, not found at the time, and as this was
the most valuable OF all the stolen prop

A few days ago Mr.. Pendleton received q
letter from George Burke, the man contin.

was willing TO disclose the place oil Its
concealment II Mr.. P.would visit him.
This visit was made and Burke informed
the Professor that the ring had been sold
to an obscure jeweler in remote part OF
the city for $50, and in this jewelry store
the ring was found and surrendered TO the
Chief Of Police, who accompanied Mr.,
Pendleton to the place.
Burke said that bracelet, which was
part OF the booty, was hidden under a
board pile in a lumber yard in the city,
and II an officer would accompany him,
he would show him the place OF conceal.
