The holiday masquerade party given at
Library Hall last evening by Prof Geo.
+. Inman was a very great social SUCCESS.
Tho floor was just comfortably filed
with the merry ..masqucrs, while all the
seats that could be provided in the annex
were speedily filed by some OF the best
known people in the city.
Some of the costumes worn by the
ladies were quite superb. and it would re-
quire the ~incisive pen Of Clara Belle" TO
do them adequate justice. The character
costumes ranged from the meek and un-
obtrusiye nun to the gay and friyilous
rirandiere or the s~prightly and fascinating
Cupid. and embraced between them all
sorts of pretty and attractive CARDS to
charm the y and delight the senses.
Not a few of the costumes were richly
elegant in texture and design. and several
were really ~extrayagantly pretty.
A small proportion Of the male cos
TUNES ran to the humorous and grotesque.
Among the best Of these was a colored
gentleman with elongated pedal extremi-
ties, a gentleman who devoted himself to
the collection of rags and like Jyic-a-brac,
an untutored American savage, a circus
clown and a couple of fakirs, 50 to speak
The unmasking took place before il
O'Clock and many spectators who conf
IDENTIFY predicted the identity of certain
masquers found themselves woefully mis-
taken. A few ladies and several gentle
men had changes of costumes, making it
an impossible task to keep track of them.
Dancing was kept up until after . O'Clock

had STRENGTH in proportion to that of the
beetle. he could lift nearly 200, 600
pounds. Ifhe were agile in proportion to
the agility of the flea, he could leap over
a three story house. Some poor fellows
are so feable that they can neither lift nor
leap. Their blood is poor, their digestion

men Browns Iron Bitters, which will en-

A ProDhetic SDecch.

AT the banquet at the Burnct House,
Cincinnati, which terminated the con-
vention of the National Guard of the
United States, Captain John j. Des-
mond was one of tho guests, and dur

speech. He declined, but upon being
pressed he said substantially: Gen

me for speech. l am proud Of being

WOMAN'S TENACITY OF LIFE.

1t appears from the gathered statis-
tics OF the world that women have a
greater tenacity of life than men. Ma
ture worships the female in all its va
rieties, says the Nosters Age. Among
insects the male perishcs at relatively
early period. In plants the seninatc
blossoms die earliest, and are produced
on the weaker limbs. Female quadru-
pcds have more endurance than the
males. In the human race, despite the
intellectual and physical strength OF
the man, the woman endures longest,
and will endure pain to which the
strong man succumbs. Zyinotic dis
eases are more fatal to males and more
male children die than females. DE
verga asserts that the proportion dying
suddenly is about 100 women to 49,
men; 1880 men in the United States iu
1870 committed suicide to 285 women.
Intcmperancc. apoplexy. gout, hydro
ccphaious, affections cf the heart OF
liver, scrofula, paralysis, are far more
fatal to males than females. Palmona-
| ry consumption, on the other hand. is
more deadly to the latter. Females in
the cities are more promo to consnmp-
tion than in the country. All old coun-
tries not disturbed by emigration have
a majority OF females in their popnla-
ton. In royal families the statistics
show moro daughters than sons. The

yorablc to the prolongation OF lift
among women. DR.. Hough remarks
that there are from, 2 TO per cent
excess OF females in the living popula
/ tons. From which statistics we con
cludc that all women who can possibly
obtain one sot those rapidly departing
men ought to marry. and that, as mel

they cannot be sufficiently prizsd =,

Under this caption the New York Sun says,
''touching Mr.. Blaine's attitude upon Irish

lean citizens arbitrarily arrested and held by
the British Government" that sit opens q
question which may become one of great
gravity during the campaign.
We think il will, particularly to those who
attack Mr.. Blaine upon this question. His
position on the arrests under the Coercion act
was this, and il was sharly criticised by the
New York Evening Post, which aids the Sun
In opposing him. In his despatch of June 2,
1881, Secretary Blaine said
Whatever the necessity may be In the estimation

enforcement In ireland OF the exceptional Legislative

citizens Of the Usited States of irish origin whose
business relations may render necessary their
encs in Ireland or any part of the United Kingdom,
or whose ia instincts or love for kindred may have
prompted them to revisit their native country.
Mr.. Blaine went on to say that our govern
ment "must insist" THAT an accused person
shall, Immediately upon arrest, be informed
of the specific crime or sffence upon which
he is held, and that he shall be afforded an
opportunity for q speedy trial before an inn

We commend the foregoing extract to

of wisdom we'll worth storing away safely
in the mind. Especially should indepen-
dents of the Boston Advertiser stripe try
to understand it aud live in accordance
with the central idea found therein.

that the the developments of the next few
weeks will make this idea the pivot OF

only one, though the latest and most
conspicuous, of many victims
