ball to be given December go, at Wuebler'.
Hall, on Freeman street Mr.. Joseph
Kinney, president of the club tells us that
every arrangement has been made to make
it one of the grandest events of the holidays.
The club is composed of about twenty-eight
young men and with invited guests proba-
bly, forty couples will be present ''to trip
the light fantastic toe" until the wee small
hours of morn. Mr. George Bartlett, of G.
II. s., has charge of the dances, and no
doubt will prove to be very efficient.
On Fifth street last Sunday we saw sew
eral well-dressed strangers, and were
anxious to know who they were. Recent
John Brown, OF Troy, Vina, of Chambers
burg, Martin, of Dayton and Mitchell. of
Troy. Who had come down to spend Sun
day in the Paris of America. They enioyed
themselves calling on the ladies of the city,
under the charge eff Mr. Abney, ard left
Sunday night, promising to call again
during the holidays. We hope they will.
1t is reported that "Wraign"-Mr Z. j.
Waring. of Columbus-will visit the city
during the holidays. We earnestly hope
| that he will and assure him that Cincinnati
will assume its sweetest smile for his es-
pecial benefit. Wraign and we have had
| several rough-and-tumblej journali ;tic fights,
yet we feel certain he will not bring his big
brother along and cowhide us No;
"Wraign' is a journalist and a cultured
| gentleman and we shall feel honored by an
acquaintance. Come by all means, dearest
Wraign.
We spoke last week of Allen Chapel
Bucket Factory, and again mention it as the
scene of terrible FIRE, in which five brave
tiremen were burned to death. The fremen
left families and the several theaters of The
town intend to give the bereaved ones a
benefit. 1t would be appropriate for the
colored theater-goers to turn out in force.
Mr.. Robert Gordon lost several houses by
| this fire.
The Louisville Bulletin is not only re-
markable because it requests its many read
ers to "Chew Keno" but also in possessing
an awfully sensational correspondent from
Cincinnati, named ''Tea JAY" This "Tea
Jay" - hold of a Cuban last week. and
was woeful!y taken in. ''Tea Jayn thought
he made an immense hit when he
panegyrized this Cuban to the skies-and
lol and behold the Cuban suddenly left. and
leaving many here 'sleft" also. This Cuban
had most pleasant time while here and
was baptized the day before he went away
However, the Cuban got to Cleveland and
tried tc gull the people there by telling
them be could speak sixteen languages in as
many seconds and draw diagram of Sol,
omon's Temple an1 in few hours he was
Jailed for triple murder in Cuba. We are
not surprised to hear this. for any man who
could tell such an awful tale as this Cuban
got off ought to be Jailed. But 'sTea Jaw
took it all in, just as glibly as the whale tool
in JONAH
We have been requested to publish next
week list of those ladies' who will keer
'open house" ON New Years Day. This

their routes, and if those who will keer
