TOO GOOD TO KEEP.

amazing Adventures of Wealthy Ne,c
YorIsers at Public Balls.
New York Correspondence.
Last night the Liederkranz society gave its
annual ball. For the first time it was given
at the new opera house, which was superbly
decorated for the occasion. 1t has always
been the habit of many fun-lovng society
matrons to go to this ball-bien masque bien
entendu-and spend the evening in taking
rises" out Of their men friends present, but
never have there been so many as this time.
The boom given to the ball by its new locality
and curiosity to see how the little back-paror
system would work brought them out in
force, and men had the uneasy conscious
ness that that freedom which is so enjoyed at
the French balls was not sufficiently guaran
teed here to DE INDUCED in and modelled
their conversational efforts accordingly, lest
they should find them selves entertaining an
angel unawares in the shape of a friends
wife or sister. 1t would be cruel to mention
names, 50 your readers will have to be con-
tent with the following outline OF as interest
ing little episode as ever came to the uotice
of the writer: A well-known man in the
beau monde fell a victim early in the even
ing to the charms Of particularly fascin ating
little siren. His devotion continued all the
evening, but the siren was obdurate and re-
fused her name or a glimpse of her face.
Finally she agreed upon the presentation of
a nice new 800 bill to let him know next day
her name and address, requesting him at the
same time to make note of the number of
the bill. Wednesday the unfortunate man
received the following: "Dear Papa: l am
so dreadfully hard up this month. Can't l
keep your nice new bank note, No.?
Your affectionate daughter,--'' Signing
the name of the good mans young and hand
some married daughter. l saw the letter be-
fore it was dispatched, and beyond that my
knowledge does not 90, but would be will
ng to wager that the larky parent in question
will never see that bank-note again.
There is much curiosity here to find out
the names of 1.-THE three men" At ball re-
house the hostess Informed guest who was
lingering among the last at the witching hour
of n. m, that heaven only knew when she
would get to bed, as, at the time of speaking,
it contained three men presumably the worse
for liquor. And now a hunt is on foot to
discover the identity of the devotees of Bac-
chus in question. Pretty story. isn't itl We
are all the more anxious for full particulars
(no joke intended), az drunkenness at any
but public balls is almost absolutely unknown

GIVE YOUR BOyATB4DE.

The GLOBE has heretofore urged the i'm
portance Of giving every boy good trade,
and Of providing for an industrial education
as an annex 10 our common school system
In connection with this subject We are struck
with some statistics published in the Pitts
burg Post, taken from the report of the war
den of the Western Pennsylvania peniteu-
tiary, going TO show that idleness and lack
of industrial training is the potent factor In
making criminals. The generally received
notion is that intemperance is the cause Of
a great proportion of human misery and
crime, but statistics show that the rogues of
to-day, as class, are neither ignorant nor
Incorporate; they have fair share of book
learning and self-control in the use of intox-
icants.
If we look for the causes that lead
to q criminal career the figures in the
warden's report are eloquent and convinc-
ing. Idleness is the parent of great pro-
portion of the wrong doing. The following
table is compiled from the exhibit of the in
dustriai relations of the ga prisoners re-
ceived the last year.

The educational statistics show that 4e9
could read aud write aud as could not; 49,

The statistics as to intemperance are also
striking. The sober and moderate drinkers
count up $50, the occasionally intoxicated
19l, and the intemperate &c.
So we have these relative percentages as
to the many causes that lead young men to
an honest or vicious life. Learned a trade
Is per cent of the convicts; having no trade
s. per cent Not able to read and write IL

Temperate 6S per cent; occasionally in

Ignorance holds but a trifing relation TO
the causes which lead to an evil life that is
almost certain to find its outcome in the
state prison. Iutemperance IS a more potent
force, yet is only a secondary one Idleness
snd lack of industrial training are the
sweeping causes that lead to life of crime
The lesson OF these fgures is that the forma-
ton of industrious habits and the acquisition
of trade are about the best send of that can

Ex-CoNGREssMAN WAsHBURN has probably
as clear conception of Mr.. CLEysLAND's
civil service policy as it is possible for a Re-
publican politician to acquire. In an inter-
view published in the GLOBE this morning he
takes it for granted that Democrats will sue
coed Republicans in the various official posi-
tons, while 1t will not be the policy of dis
placing efficient Republican office-holders for
the mere purpose of filling their places with
Democrats. That is about the position the
GLOBE has taken in discussing the subject,
except we supplement Gen. WAsHBURS's
views By stating that so few of the officials
left in place by the retiring administration
were efficient according TO the definition
of the term laid down in the civil service
law, there will be pretty clean sweep after

4 GOOD AND BUs1NEss-1IKE RULE.

President CLEVELAND starts out with one
business-like rule which indicates business
like administration He announces that he
will grant no interviews with office seekers or
consider personal or written applications for
political Office, but that all such must be ad-
dressed to the respective heads of depart
ments. He intends that the initiative OF
suggestions as to positions shall come up
from the heads of departments to him, and
not proceed from him down among the de-
partments. This course is orderly and Dem
ocratic. The rule is a good one, which will
relieve the president of much unnecessary
annoyance. By pursuing it Mr.. CLEVELAND
will leave himself free to attend entirely to
the duties of the presidency, unembarrassed
by the squabbles of rival candidates and free
from any obligation to look into or under
stand the party jealousies and quarrels of
local factions in the various states. This
rule will simplify and expedite the business
of the government. 1t will enable the seven
cabinet officers to be simultaneously consid-
ering the fitness and claims of the
applicants, in lieu of devolving that
wearing work on one man, the ex-
ecutive. 1t entirely agrees with
the views of the president concerning the
rights of his advisors, and the distribution of
labor and responsibility among them.
Moreover, it can be safely said and should
be borne in mind that this arrangement will
contribute to the political strength of the adj
ministration and to its efficiency, in legiti-
mate partisan ways, as an agent in the work
of increasing the power and continuing the
success of the Democratic party. Public
opinion towards an administration will be
greatly influenced by the character and con-
duct of its appointees. The record the ad-
ministration makes through them in manag
ing the public business will confirm or dis
appoint the predictions of voters who put it
in power. The cabinet officers are held re-
sponsible to their chief for the management
of their respective Offices Any man fit for
a cabinet Office should have a determining
voice in the selection Of his agents. Mr.
CLEVELAND knows that the country expects
a reform administration from him, and he
knows his cabinet officers well enough to
know that their own capacity and character
assure faithful discharge of duty toward
him and the party whose representative he
is. In this administration the cabinet is
likely to count for more than it has in a
good many years past, and adopting the rule
of fit men for fit functions, which is at the
basis of the policy of CLEvELAND's reform
administration, they will be enabled to deal
justly by the government, fairly by the party,
and honestly by the applicants for position
in the matter of selecting agents.

THE MARKETS.

There was mild sort of reaction in the
stock market yesterday, and the talk was that it
was not best to place too much reliance on the
reports of war between Russia and England. A
bogus report found its way onto the board to the
effect that President Keep had declared that the
next Omaha dividend would not be paid. This
caused break in the Omaha and o general de-
cline in thai stock, which was not stopped till
President Keep and Vice President Sykes both
denied the story. Several of the Northwestern
roads were affected by the reports and the whole
list closed weak Wheat was weak all around

IRLY ADJOURNMENT OF THE D4-
KOT1 LEGISLATURE.

The Dakota legislature will adjourn to-day,
after a stormy session, in which the delber-
atoms have not been wholly free from factious
contention. But it has been a busy session
withal and much has been done in the terri
torial interest despite the acerbities which
have characterized some of the proceedings
The judicial hand Of Gov. PIERCE has exer-
cised a wholesome influence over the acts of
the legislature in restraining excuses on
many measures. He has proven himself to
be possessed of a judicial mind, cap
able of grasping the situation and
determining conflicting interests on an equit-
able basis. Whoever his successor NAV be,
it is hoped be will observe the judicial bal
snce which has characterized the executive
acts of Gov. PIERCE. It appears from the
situation as it strikes the impartial obse rver
that Dan MARRATTA would be Gov. PIERCE's
successor. He is an old resident of the ter
ritory, is familiar with its needs and is q
man of fine executive quality withal, and
can but be worthy successor of GILBERT A.
PIERCE, who has been bv far the best execu-
tive the territory has ever had.

tend in a measure to reimburse itself for a

on basis of fictitious imitation. Municipal

were reduced more than $40, 900 at one
dash. The example set by the sister town
across the border is not bad one for some
on this side of the line to follow. Municipal
expenditures should come down with rents

GEN. GRANa,s CONDITION.

Gen. GRANT remarked few days ago that
he felt assured he could not live a month
longer. The physicians are reticent, but
from what they let drop it seems that they be-
lieve the end to be near, and there may be
collapse at any moment. In the course of
his long prayer in Plymouth church last Sun
day morning Mr.. BEECHER alluded to the ill
ness of Gen. GRANT as follows:
And we ask that thou wilt be with him whom
we all honor, and who now lies on bed of pain
and sickness, and is perhaps soon to pass away.
Thou hast made him of great service to this land,
and thou hast laid upon him very great burdens
grievous to be borne. In this his time of bitter
ness give to his soul the consciousness of Cons
forgiving love. May he be patient and gentle,
looking forward to better life; may he endure
to the end, and rise through the unspeakaole
bounty of JESUS CHRIST to Immortality. May
all that serve thee remember him in their
prayers to-day and grant that his family may be
prepared to obey thy will. LORD, where are our
fathers? They are with Thee. Where is the
host with whom we walked in cheer? They are
gone and we are coming to the days in which
memory brings none back. Day by day they
that have borne the burden and the heat of the
battle gone. Who shall fill their places?
Grant that those who are raised up in Thy SER
vice, the young men, upon whom the RESPONSE
bility will fall, may be servers of Cop and so
servers of their mother land
Gen. GRANT bears his sufferings with char
acteristic fortitude. But there is something
pitiful in the thought that nothing can be
done for him. Medical science can only re-
lieve in some degree his physical pain; his
mental suffering which, those who have
seen him say his face shows, is beyond the
skill of surgery. During his indisposition
he has found some forgetfulness of his con-
dition at intervals in the composition of his
memoirs; but this resource is now failing
him. The end is not far off,
