SOCIETY DANCES.


The San Francisco Examiner of late
blossomed into a society paper, and has
the following to offer on the ballroom:
The various steps of the waltz family
consist of the hop waltz, the glide-Wallz,
The redowa- waltz and the waltz proper
All are beautiful. There are, however,
spurious daughters of the waltz, which
are occasionally danced by people de-
sirous of notoriety at public halls, which
should he avoided. Among these are
what is called the Boston dip, the racket
and the society. These exaggerated
forms of the beautiful waltz movement
are not taught by the best dancing mas
tiers. AS one of them remarked:
''ohould such IA style prevail, dancir G
must go down. Its enemies woulu
have unanswer,ble argument against
it." They are sensational, exaggerated;
one might easily use a harsher term.
The glide w"ltz is slight, fragile ex-
aggeration upon the waltz proper, and
should be very slightly exaggerated.
1t, however, has met with much favor,
and is the best and original 1olm Of the
now disused Boston dip The polka i,
never danced in d ballroom Ivy we'll
bred people. 1t is occasionally, with
the heel and toe accompaniment,
danced in the parlor, after a Christmas
tree or Easter-egg party, by Il family
circle well known to each either, but it
would be vulgar in public.

SHOCKIN& CRUELTY.
A Heartlcss StepmOther Turns a Child
out into the storm.

The Bodie Free Press tells the follow
ing story of cruelty to a child: ga
highly sensational report reached Bodie
from Aurora on Tuesday to the effect
that a mother in the latter place had
thrown her child into well. The
story finally simmered down to an act
of greater barbarity, and Was about to
this effect: n married woman had been
in the habit of beating i2-year old
adopted daughter in Il IN ,st unmerciful
manner. On Monday night she told
the child to go to her room and undress
for bed, adding that she would then
punish her for some trivial Offense pre-
viously committed. The child to es-
cape Il beating: lett the house and WAN
dered about in the storm for six hours
before she WAS found. The woman, be-
coming al ,rIned at the chiid's long 40
oence, aroused the neighbors and search
Was instituted, resulting in the finding
of the unfortunate little creature at 2
o'clock in the morning, wandering
about in a driving storm.

ALBION FLUCTUATIONS


Albion stock had been gradually
sinking since the publication of Judge
Rising's decision until yesterday. It
had declined to 81 80, at which figure
it had closed in the informal morning
session. Contrary to expectation, it
jumped in the afternoon Board to So,
under demand of less that 700 shares
A slight reaction followed, and it closed
at 50 "a on the street. The sharp adj
vance is attributed to favorable reports
sent down by Messrs. Tritle and Smith,
but we have reason to believe that
these gentlemen have not made a re-
port of any kind as yet. Hence some
other cause must have been operating
to put the stock up. 1t is quite evil
Albion just at this time is one of the
most sensitive stocks on the list. How
it may act during the next ten days it
would be difficult to predict, but we
have little doubt that az tie time for
the next suit approaches it will gradu-
ally harden to son ething like the fig
ures which it obtained just prior to the
delivering of Judge kising's opinion.
In the meantime there are IA great
many of our people who are watching
the quotations of Albion with great
interest. Those who cleaned up at a
top figure would like to get in again at
about 81. They are 10th to go in above
that notch. 1t is very generally con-
coded that there must be another as
levied just as soon as the
present one is off. The Eureka boys
would like to know something about the
amount of that plaster before pitching
in too steep. Albion is a great tavoritt'
here, and there is coin to gamble in it
as soon as operators can see their way
clear.

A LITERAL CHlNAMAN.
He puts q Practical Interpretation on
Pete Cavanaughs EnsIIsh.

On Saturday afternoon Pete Cavan-
augh hired a Chinanlan to whitewash
his fence. The artist fell to work, but
only applied the whitewash to the
pickets, leaving the posts and cross
pieces bare. Mr.. Cavanaugh came to
inspect the work and noticing that the
job had been rather specifically per-
formed, heaped the usual American
blasphemy upon the whitewasher, and
as he left he waved his hand and shout
ed:
"Whitewash everything in sight"
Later in the afternoon he returned
and found that a most literal interpre-
tation had been placed upon his l,n-
guage and the Heather had white
washed the delivery wagon and was
engaged in putting the finishing touch
es on the horse, the animal standing
still and seeming to enjoy the perform
ance, as it Was cooling. After the
owner had fully recovered fro.n his as
tonishment he grabbed the Chinanan
10y the queue and, according to common
report, threw him over the Justice
Court building.

While every town in the State has a

we would not be able to hold our own

vacancies. He has just issued the fol-
lowing:

A Comparison OF Prices.

Mr.. COhn comes to the front to-day
and invites the public to compare his
prices with those published by rival
house which advertizes ga closing out
sale. People who believe in the bar
gains supposed to be picked up at closing
out sales can very easily examine the
comparative tables Of prices and then
form their own conclusions. Aside
from the fact that Mr.. COhn is selling
his goods at remarkably low figures, his
reputation for securing none but the
best stock will attract large influx of
customers to his place Of business.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The official
notification to the Senate to-day that
the designations of Senators COnkiing
and Platt had been forwarded to the
Governor of New York took everybody
by surprise. An Associated Press re-
porter mixed among the Senators to get
opinions. The surprise was so complete
that the Senators had not time to form
opinions and generally expressed con-
lectures and surmises. One Republican
Senator said that Conkling and Platt
would be reelected by the. New York
Legislature, now in session, and that
will be claimed as an endorsement of
their opposition to Robertson at the
hands of the Republican party of New
York. Republicans all feel sure of
reelection, but some few
express doubts about Plat. Democratic
Senators universally express gratitica-
ton of the designations. They say 1t
widens the breach in the Republican
party of New York and increases the
bitterness of the StaiWartS towards the
ton.
The Democrats now have a majority
Of the Senate, but so far as can be
learned no attempt will be made to-
wards reforming the committees. Pen
ileton, Chairman of the Democratic
caucus, said no such action will be
thought of; that the committees will

WASHINGTON, May 8, 1881

\
To THE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL:
In former letters l have spoken of tbs
advantages Of frequent changes among
the subordinate officials in the govern.
ment departments. The need of such
changes is shown forcibly in the results
of inquiry into General Brady's Office.
No matter whether he was guilty OF
fraud or not, his business Was SO con-
Quoted that enormous frauds were per-
petrated. Now il is found that the
Auditor Of the Treasury, who settles
the accounts of BHdy's contractors,
though perhaps not himself corrupt, has
not taken measures to protect the gov
eminent from the rapacity and wick ed
ness of contractors. He and his assist
ants are to be discharged. The truth
seem to be that he found business being
done in a certain way ten or twelve
years when he became Sixth Auditor,
and has been doing it in the same way
ever since. The government might
need steel pens, but he has been giving
it quilts. Four years is time enough
for any bureau officer to serve, and when
he goes out Il man new to the Office
should, as a rule, go in. Of course this
need not aps ly to the clerks in the
offices, for they are supposed simply to
carry out the ideas Of their superiors,
and the longer they serve, ii they are
men or women of any ability whatever,
the more valuable they become.
President Garfield is known to enter
tain substantially the ideas above, and
he is certain that his first two months
must have confirmed them
in him.
Republican Senators We're extremely
reticent on saturday and yesterday as
to the difficulty between the President
and the Senators. Until the new eau
JUS is held little can be learned. Much
that has been reported as coming from
he President is known to have been
outside of the White
House. 1t is as true among statesmen
rs among village gossip that there are
ilways plenty to help on quarrel, and
hat one of the means used is to repeat |
md eXaggerate all the stories set atloat.
There is a general regret here at the
ransfer now officially reported of Eng
ish Minister Thornton from Washing
on to st. Petersburg. He has in many
Ways made himself respected by the |
people of Washington.
An Administration paper-an afternoon
