From q private letter received Yesterday
from Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, we
mike the following extracts Of general in.
terest:
The event of the past week was
the German given by Miss Susie Stuart. Be
somewhat ignorant on the subject OF fem
mime sttire, | could not attempt 10 give you
s description of the many and beautiful cos
tunes worn on that occasion. Where there
are so many lovely types Of the female face
and figure it is difficult to make a choice.
In my estimstion, taken from an artistic
stapopoint, Virginia carries of
THE PALM OF BEAUTY
in the persons Of Miss May Handy, who
Possesses one OF the most beautiful faces
that | have ever seen, while Miss Kate
Bruce has been endowed by nature with a
form that could not fail to please the most
fastidious.
The most notable p~ersonsges here at pres
ent are Gen. Roger A. Pryor, whose men
tai gifts are an ample recompense for
his lack of physical powers, aud more re-
Gently celebrated as the defender of ODon-
mel. Other notsbles are Mr.. Charles Dad
lev Warner, of literary fame, and Mr.. G.. s.
Reinhardt, artist, in the employ OF Harper
& Bro. Speaking of Charles Dudley Warn
.r, reminds me that through his and Mark
Twain's liberality Gerhardt-the artist max
ing tie cast OF
Fl LATE GEN. GRANT,
was enabled to finish his studies. 1t gives
me considerable pleasure to see Karl max
ing a name for himself, for he and | are old
schoolmatcs. In fact, we sat at the
same desk for nearly three
years, and many is the time we
have stopped after school together to re,
ceive our welldeserved licking.
An agreeable change has come over the
weather, the evenings being almost too cool
tor love making purposes,
There are several private germans N
PROSPECT for next week and a lively time is
expected.
II COMPLEMENTARY BALL

musicians last Friday evening was a nota'
bic event. Favor figures were numerous,
and for these the pretty ornaments selected
we're quite unique and tasteful. Little

sails, artistic lace pins, scent bottles and
large corsage bouquets for the ladies were
.morg the number, while for the gentlemen

Tvs tied with ribbons. At one end Of the

Imaginable delicacy, to which the dancers

respect.
