Cavalry, al Fl. Maginnis.
The grand ball given on New Years
Eve, by Troop "A, )" 2nd Cavalry, proved
entirely successful. 1t was the first
grand party of the season. The time
which has elapsed since the last ball
being much longer than it had been
expected everyone was much more
delighted to meet friends and acquaint-
ances. A large number of new and
handsome costumes had been prepared
especially for this occasion, ard the
appearance of the hall was notably
brilliant. The large hall was crowded
to its utmost capacity for the first two
hours by spectators, but toward mid
night the company assumed more COM
Portable numbers. The Troupappcared
in full dress up to u midnight, and the
conspicuously trimmed dress coat and
helmet trimmings of the cavalry,
blended well with the brilliant costumes
of the fair sex. The officers attended
the bali en- massc, and remained for
several hours, appearing 10 share with
the good feeling existing on all sides.

whist advancement in point Of pop
ulation is the rule in this C ountry, 1t is
degeneracy with that of France. In
the last named country, statistics are
being collected and compiled with the
view Of making an estimate as to
whether the population will be increas-
ed over that of the present century at
the close Of the next. Thus far the
figures tend to show there will be a de-
crease. There are not more than two
children in a family on an average.
The rate of increase In the population
has been constantly declining since the
beginning Of the nineteenth century.
This certainly indicates national decay
in Europe. Fortunately for a long Sc
ries OF decades, to come our country
can rely upon foreign aid in the in
crease Of our numbers.

THE wARnINe KLRmESrs.

Storms of wind, rain and snow have
been very fierce within the past few
days. Extending from the coast Of the
Pacific to that of the Atlantic, and from
the British possessions on the north to
those of the Mexicans On the south,
few intervals of intervening space
have escaped the fury of the ele-
ments ia some form or another. In
our immediate vicinity the blows OF
Boreas lave been rather lively, but no
damage Of any moment has resulted.
To the distant north the cold has been
intense, and stages are reported as hav-
ing been lost or abandoned in deep
snow drifts. In California and Mime
sofa, sections rather remote, railway
trains have been blockaded and other
wise impeded in their usual progress.
The southwestern coast has suffered Sc
verely by rains and winds, whilst the
most central portions Of our country
were largely subjected to most devasta-
ting inundations. In the cotton states
notably Georgia, the C%arolinas, Ala
bama and Tennessee, cyclones and hur-
ricanes have demolished numerous
buildings and destroyed many lives /;
and this when such disasters were little
anticipated from the advent of warning
elements. Great suffering ensues in
many sections OF our beloved country,
and Intense grief has thus been brought
to many households in an untlmely
manner. Indeed, those who have es-
capped narrowing harm in this direc-
tion, have ample cause for great rejoic-
ing, and they should not forget to re-
spond to the urgent appeals of the sorely
distressed in their time of dire disaster
especially when the appeals are bona
ndely made for succor to alleviate suff-
ering humanity.

The Glass Ware Craze
[Chicago News.1


This is decidedly a cut-glass season, and
though rare bits Of china, like old win or
flint glass, are never passe, silverware, how
over costly and sterling, has not the ghost of
a show ON the table or sideboard OF the day.
So there is nothing to do but to put the big,
swinging water-pitoher, with a goblet and
tray, in a flannel bag. and ~relegate it to the
dust and cobwebs Of the darkest corner of
the top shelf in the pantry. The sacrifice Is a
cruel one to more than a few proud little
housewives, but fashion Jays, Everything,
silver and all things high, must 60" and her
dictates are invincible. The result is a gor-
geous array OF plain. cut, carved and en-
graved crystal glassware In all the colors Of
chromatics, unheard-of designs in plain and
decorated china, and never to be seen u dish,
vase, cruet, bowl, basket, tureen, or standar
ove- eight inches in height. Everything,
from a butter patty to an epergne, is in fiat
relief, though the endless variety in color
and design precludss the possibility of mo-
notony.

ionable table is said to be low, exception Is
made to water-bottles, pots, jugs and jars,

HON. MALoN CHANCE.
His Address to the Legislature On
the BnrthoIdi statue Yesterday.

Hon. Malon Chance addressed our
legislators and others at the hall OF the
house OF representatives yesterday at
noon, on the previously announced
subject Of the Bartholdi statue. This
is a subject that should interest our
readers and all classes Of people, and
yet until recently, the matter has not
received that attention which it ought
to have received long ago by the Amer
lean people. rnrs-
At the meeting yesterday there was
a goodly number OF our people as well
as nearly all the members of both
branches Of the legislature. Hon. F.
@. Ford, member CT the house, was
chosen chairman OF the meeting, and
Hon. H. E. Teschmacher, also of the
house, secretary. The address by Mr..
Chance, who Is an able and eloquent
speaker, was prefaced by a historical
sketch Of the statue and how 1t came
to be presented to our people. 1t was
proposed at a Partisan BAN
quet held in 1875, in comment
grafton of our centennial that
this statue should be erected at the
cost of the French government and
should be given to America with the
understanding that this government
should erect a suitable pedestal for the
same at its own cost. The cost of the
statue was about $3.50, 900 and was
eventually in accordance with the prop
osition erected and delivered to the
American people by the French, and
since that time the American people
have been waiting and ~hesitating about
meeting the French people half way in
this matter and the pedestal has never
been erected. The mission upon which
MI. Chance is now engaged among
others Is that Of awakening the people
to a sense of their duty towards the
French government in this respect.
The speaker was very eloquent and
fervent in his appeal to u legislators
and all in attendance to move in this
matter In order that Wyoming may
contribute her portion of the amount
necessary to be raised in order to erect
the pedestal. We have not the space
to refer further to the address, except
that 1t was all that could be desired in
order to explain the situation to our
people. At the conclusion, a commit
the consisting Of Messrs. Holiday,
Sturgis and Irwin was appointed to
consider this matter and to report at a
meeting to be held at the same place
to-day at l O'Clock p. m.
