A BRILLIANT BALI.
The Princess OF Wales in a Sup
per-ROOm, With a Coup
d'EiI Like FairyIand.
London wOrld.l

London World.l
Lord Flies dinner and ball to the
Prince and Princess of Wales are ad-
mitted to have been an unusually bril-
liant success. The Princess OF Wales
was charming in white tulle spotted
with silver, and carried an enormous
bouquet Of white exotics. Each Of
the lady guests at the dinner was
treated with like attention aud was
presented with a smaller bouquet Of
corresponding flowers by the g~allantry
of the noble host. The staircase and
ballroom offered ample scope for the
most brilliant floral decorations. All
the youth and beauty of London were
gathered together. and, sporting their
best frocks and all the jewels they pos
-sessed, made a most brilliant coup
d'eil. The honors of the ball was
done by the Countess of Dudley, At
tired in black and blazing with dia-
monds, she was indisputaDly the most
beautiful woman there. Lady Dud-
ley is always pre-eminent for her
beauty whenever she appears, but
Lady Dudley has another charm very
uncommon to the fair sex, and that is
her apparent unconsciousness of her
undoubted supremacy. The most
perfect coup d'eil was in the supper
room. A spacious tent had been
erected at the back Of the mansion;
the sides we're Of old tapestry hang
ings, and the bright blue canopy cell
ing was at once a ta3teful ana novel
idea. At the further end was a stand
up buffet; and at the two sides of the
tent, in front Of it were fountains Of
water throwing their spiay into basins
of water, which were edged with ex-
otics and ferns, in which red and
white lilies we're blooming in album
dance. The body Of the tent was O.
cupied by many round tables, erOan-
ing with fruit and flowers. at which a
hoj supper was served. But perhaps
the most beautiful feature in the
whole display was the six enormous
rose bushes-two white, two pink and
two crimson-whicn filed the cor
ners and beautifully adorned the sides
of the tent. These rose trees in point
of size aud for mass of bloom, could
have We'd successfully with those
splendid specimens of the queen
Of flowers with which every
one is familiar who attends the
flower shows in the Regents Park OF
at South Keusington. Altogether the
coup d'eil of this supper room was
like fairyland.

Not a Military nomination.

new luIk DWHfl
Our esteemed republican contem-
poraries are severely criticising the
nomination by the democrats Of a
military candidate for president.
But why have not the democrats as
good a right as the republicans to
nominate a military man?
General Hancock fought and spilled
his blood on the side Of the govern
ment, aud not for the rebellion.
And it should be borne in mind
that so far from being nominated as a
military candidate. General Hancock
is brought forward as the true cham
pion Of personal rights and the as.
cendancy Of the civil power over the
military in time of peace.
For two reasons, therefore, the
criticisms of our republican friends do
not hold good.
The democrats have the same right
as the republicans to nominate a mil
itary man.
General Hancock is not nominated
as a military man, but as, pre-emi-
nently, q civilian,

h Cnrrie Jury.

Here is the way the Globe Demo
crat correspondent at Marshall puts
the case. Regarding the source it
should be taken, however, with some
grains of allowanoe. He says: "The
excitement and general Indignation
over the alleged cause of Currie's ae-
quittal are rapidly developing 1t is
claimed by some Of the states counsel
that money was probably used with
the jury. Hon. VIM. Stedman, of
counsel for prosecution, informed your
correspondent to-day hat one Of our
principal merchants would testify
that three of the jurors on Saturday
night, shortly after the verdict was
rendered, came into his store and
purchased goods literally, With
out as mucl as asking the price,
and on making payment exhibited
large rolls Of IS and $40 bills. Maj.
John NJ. Case says one of the jurors
took a shave after the verdict was rem
dered, on Saturday night, and tender
ed the barber for change a $40 bill as
the least contained in a large roll Of
greenbacks he took from his pocket,
lie further says that q notion mer-
chant here says, and offers to swear,
that about an hour after Currie's ae-
quittal, one Of the jurors, purchasing
some candy and other notions, offered
in payment a $40 ~greenback, at the
same time exhibiting q large roll Of
bills Of the same denomination, and
said he hadn't been here on the jury
nearly two weeks for nothing that he
made all these $40 bills during that
time. From such reports as the fore
going and other circumstances, suspic-
ions Of bribery are expressed against
the jury"

Garfield weaker Than Hayes.

cleveland Platndealer.l
Hayes was mighty glad to got Ohio
by 1000 majority in 1876, and
Garfield will be more than tickled if
he can pull through with as big a
majority. But there is no doubt Of
this fact. that Garfield is not as
strong with his own people as was
Hayes in 1876. The fact that he ran
behind him one thousand seven hun
bred votes in his own congressional
district is evidence bat he is not q
popular candidate. He has never been
before the people of Ohio as a candi-
date, and his record is such that
many honest republicans will scratch
him. No democrat who voted for
Samuel j. Tilden will vote for James
A, Garfield, who, in defiance Of
honor, right, justice and fairness, gave
his vote on the electoral commission
to put a man In the White House
who was never elected.
