ChiIdren'S Ball.


The annual exhibition of Mr.. Gilbert's
dancing school at City Hall Saturday after
noon was one of the prett;est spectacles ever
witnessed in Portland. About one-half of the
floor of the hail in front of the stage was
rallied off, and the remainder filled with
settees, all of which were occupied by the
friends of the pupils, as we'll as the galleries.
and stage, except that small portion of the
platform devoted to the orchestra. When the
grand march struck up the children fifty
nine Uples-msrched into the hail present.
ing beautiful sight. The little couple at the
head marched with the time and self possess
sion of old veterans The girls were all pretti-
ly dressed, and their bright dresses contrasted
favorably with the sombre garments of the
boys. All the fashionable dances of the day
were executed with precision and grace, show
ing the results of the faithful instruction of
the teacher.
The fancy dances were happily designed
aud admirably executed That of the Turkish
March and Spanish Line, with its complex
figures, the girls carrying tambourines and the
boys accompanying the dance with clappers,
used for castanets, was one of the most at
traciiye features ever attaching to an exhibit
ton in this city. There were sixteen masters
and misses, who took part, and their move
ments were especially graceful. SO delighted
s<Nas the audience that a repetition was imper-
atively demanded. The Hong Kong dance, by
two little tots in Chinese costumes was also
encored, and was as cunning and bewitching
as it is possible to imagine. The braiding OF
the Msy-pole and the Sailors Hornpipe were
both excellent features, and the latter was re-
peated. One thing in particular Mr.. Gilbert is
entitled to great praise for. He is teaching
Portland girls how to walk; no mean accom-
plishment The affair was an immense sue
cess Among the spectators was Mr.. And rews,
header of the Bangor Band, who has very
fiourishing dancing school in that city.

Boys USING ToBACCu.-A strong
and sensible writer says good sharp
thing and true one too, for boys who
use tobacco. 1t has utterly spelled
and utterly ruined thousands of boys.
1t tends to softening and weakening
the bones, and it greatly Injuries the
brain, the spinal marrow, and the
nervous system. A boy who smokes
early and frequently, or in any way
uses large quantities of tobacco, is
never known to makea man of much
energy, and generally lacks muscu-
lar as we'll as mental power. We
would particularly warn hoys who
want to be anything in the world, to
Shun tobacco as most baneful poison.
1t Injuries the teeth. 1t produces an
unhealthy state of the throat and
lungs, hurts the stomach and blasts
the brain and nerves.

OF the committee appointed n, the late conven

was being done and what to do with it, Mr.
Grove avows having made all the machines
that were recently found at Liverpool and that
he has a large number more on hand, and thai
they will be sent out from time to time until
the people are afrsid TO patronlze British ships
or live in British dwellings and that this
will be kept up until England is forced 10 con
