The Merry Capital of the Czar.
A SERIES OF BRILLIANT BALLS IN ST. PETERS
BuRG.-WEALrH BEGINNING TO OVER
SHADOW ARisToCRACY.

ST.. PETERSBURG, March 2.-This proud
brilliant. and treacherous capital is now
under merry spell Everybody is dancing
and singing here. from the czar and the czar-
ina to the dvornik and the chambermaid.
Recently the autocrat gave brilliant ball in
the winter palace. opening the ball season
here. Abont 5000 guests in glittering uni
forms and gorgeous dresses filled the i'm
mense rooms of the gloomy palace, orna-
mented with costly tropical plants. At 10
p. NJ. the emperor and the empress entered
the dancing hall of Nicholas. followed by the
members of the imperial family. In the first
dance the car led the czarina; in the second
he led Lady Thornton, the wife of the Eng
lish ambassador, the czarina dancing with
Gen. Schweinitz, the German ambassador
in the third the august host led Nine Apper,
the wife of the French ambassador, and the
hostess had Shakir Pasha, the Turkish am
basssdor. as her partner. The czar wore the
uniform of the cavalry guards, and the czar-
ina white satin dress richly ornamented
with fresh roses and lilies. On her head she
had a superb diamond diadem. At midnight
supper was served. Military bands played
in every room. Massive silverware shone
brightly on the tables covered with fresh hy-
scinths and tulips. The czarna had the
German ambassador on her right and the
Turkish ambassador on her LETT side. The
car, as hospitable host went from one table
to another. exchanging words with his guests
Following the example of the czar, every
minister and ambassador and all the rich and
titled St Petersburgers hurried to give balls.
The German, French. and Turkish ambassa-
dors each gave ball that stirred the aristo-
cratic public and the fashionable dressmakers.
Among the novelties of the season electric
bouquets and table ice are much in favor. The
boquets of the ladies and the necktie pins of
the gentlemen are connected with a minute
electric battery. secreted by the ladies in
their dress and by the gentlemen in the side
pockets. electric current can be closed or
interrupted at any time at the will of the
bearer OF the battery. These boauets and
pins with their electric flashes surprise and
amuse the unscientifc public. Ice is made
tc serve both an ornamental ard a useful
purpose at balls. A huge piece of ice, ar
tisticallv carved, is placed on a silver tray
and lighted from within. In the excavations
in the ice they pour either wine or cream. or
both, of which the dancers partake.-Ner

pie of His Presidential Protection.
ALBANY, Nov. 20.-Gov. Cleveland was ask
ed by an Associated Press reporter to-day if he
was aware of a delusion existing among the
colored people of the South That change in
the administration would unfavorably affect
their condition, to which he replied:
"Yes, have been astonished at The state
ment that there was an apprehension exist
ing among the colored people that in some
way their rights now secured to them under
the laws and Constitution of the United
States were in danger from the election of a
Democratic President ! am even told that
some of them are led to suppose that the re-
suit of the recent election means that they
may again be made slaves. All of this has
appeared 10 me 10 be so absurd, and have
been SO sure that the slightest intelligent re.
Fiction would dislodge such foolish fears,
that ] can hardly deem any notice of them
necessary, but there is not the slightest OBJ
lection to calling the attention of all who are
in the least uneasy or uncertain upon this
subject to the fact that the title of the colored
people to freedom and all the rights of citi-
zenship cannot be disturbed except by o
change in the Constitution which it would
be absolutely impossible to make.
Besides, the present condition or status of
these people has been SO fully accepted by
the entire country that no one should have
the slightest idea that any attempt will be
made TO change it. II there were any posi-
bility of accomplishing such thing, so far
as the new Administration Is related to this
subject, the whole country can be sure that
the lawful power and Jurisdiction of the Exc
cutive will be 80 exercised that the rights of
all citizens, white or black under the Consti.
tuition and the law, will be preserved and
protected, and all the advantages to which
they are entitled by reason of their citizen
ship will be secured to them. There need be
no fear that either the Democratic party or
its newly elected administration proposes to
Cypress or enslave any part of our popula-
ton, or to destroy the business interests of
the country. We hope, on the other hand, to
do something 10 benefit the people. 1t seems
TO me that our efforts in that direction would
be aided if mischievous croakings and dark
imaginings should give place to an earnest
endeavor to inspire confidence and to make
universal cheerful hope for the future"

his utmost endeavors to check the flow or
silver into the channels of trade. Secretary
Folger has not paid much heed to these pro-
tests, and has been inclined to treat them
with silence The gold reserve, however,
had been steadily diminishing, and to-day
there are but S1l7,000,000 in the
treasury vaults. This is very small
sum- and as the law provides that not
less than 800, 100000 shall be kept on
hand, and as gold is being paid out at the
rate of nearly 81 100000 day, it is evident
that Mr.. Folger will have ~ move quickly
to prevent the New York banks from fore
ing the reserve to such a low figure as to
make it sell at premium among commercial
men The secretary was asked about the
matter but was inclined to say but little. He
did say, however that in his Judgment there
was little cause for alarm. Accord
ing to Secretary Folger's statement, the
matter, but will seek to curtail expenses
and lessen gold payments, SO far as it can be
done i'll accordance with the existing law.
The assistant treasurers have been notified to
pay out silver certificates in all cases where
such security could be forced upon the appli-
cant In 1850 the gold reserve was reduced
to $115, 0O0, 600, but there was not much alarm
manifested then, and the condition of the
country was about the same as it is now. The
secretary says that in the course of month
an immense quantity of gold will come into
this country to buy cotton, and then all fears
of its selling at premium will vanish.
