"REMINISCENCES or THE REBELLION.

A LECTURE BY DR.. JOHN r, PAXTON on BATTLE
AND BIvOUAC."
large audience gathered last night at Steinway
Hall to hear the Rev. DR.. John r. Paxton lecture
on Battle and BivOuac" under the auspices of
the Mechanics and Iradesmens Society. He spoke
from the point of view Of private who had spent
two years in the field and the camp
After cursory view of the incidents that led up TO
the war he said:
"At the present day the North and the South
naturally entertain entirely different views of its
results. While Decoration Day in the North excites
only passing interest or emotion. it is kept con
tnually before the minds of the Southern people
by means OF the ruined plantations, the scattered
servants, and the devastated fields.
"In my opinion the first battle Of the Rebellion
was fought in the room of a Northern college
between two students, one from Pennsylvania and
one from Tennessee OccaSioned by the boast
of the student from Tennesseethat one descendant
Of the Cavaliers could whip six Yankees. After
long and severe conflict in which chairs and tables
were demolished, and the Old-fasmOned feathcr-bed
was broken down by the struggln- cOmbatants,
victory pCrChcd Oh the banner OF pennsylvania aud
was pTcmOnltiOu Of the result OF the greater con-
test soon to follow.
"The soldier of twenty years agodid not present an
heroic or aWe-nSpTing figure, tor his trousers ran
To extremes in length, the short soldier invariably
securing the long and the tall soldier the short
OncS.D
Dr. Paxton paid high compliment TO the
ladies' as being the most successful recruiting
officers ever known, and humorous distinction was
drawn between COwaTdICc and decentralization. In
ms desert t0n Of the battle of Gettysburg, be said
tnat although he was at the time reasonably sure OF
the presence OF General Hancock, the recent cam
paign had caused doubts to arise in his mind as to
whether he was really present. The lecture
abOuuded IN humorous incidents of camp lie.

OPENING THE BALL.

The arrangements for the arrival Of carriages
were IN charge of Captain Williams and speclai
SQUAD Of eighteen policemen. By Their shlIlluI
uauogcglrDt the continuous stream of carriages
pourcd on without check or hlndranCe, and proved
that in regard to convenience Of access at least,
the Opera House is superior 10 the Academy
Though ten o'clock was the time fixed for the Tor
NAL opening Of the ball. the line or carriages slowly
moving north at that time seemed iuteTmnable,
md if was not till an hour IA er that any DIM
mutton could be noticed. At the Broadway en-
trance the ubiquitous spectators were shouting
themselves hoarse with offers Of tickets
below the advertised price, and ap-
rarcntly doing a poor business. Outside
fbe front vestibue stood short, stout man, with a
pool-hunored face and high silk hat This was
Inspector Ihorne; he was surrounded by half-a-
dozen 0uiet-loO.ng men, who seemed TO bctTay the
slightest possible interest in the proceedings
These were few of the force OF detectives who
were disposed in variu0s parts OF the building
10 see that none of the light-fngered fraternity
made Themselves free with their noighbors' pro-
perty.
When the guests began to fill the boxes and oc-
Cupy the seats the ground floor, they found the
immense a;nphitheatre transformed from ITS usual
aspect The orchestra was boarded over 10 the
level of the top of the baignoir boxes. The stage
had pretty gdlGcN sci III liIt utt'h gloONtS tLS

was excellent.
There were little confusion and croWdhe III inc

well filled when the procession Oh
managers, headed by General Lloyd
Aspinwau and Mrs W. NJ. Kingsland, president
and scclotary of the ball committee opened the
hall at little after 10 o'clock. The boxes were not

spectacle.
AT midnight the Assembly Rooms were thrown
