 people, are not equaled in their deter
 lnination in this direction, by any other
 town in Apache county, and, perhaps,
 not in the entire Territory of Arizona or
 of New Mexico. The unpleasant inter-
 ruption at a former social has but served
 to intensity this passion of the devotees
 to the light-footed goddess.
 Citizen Adamson, of the large mer-
 camille firm of Adamson & Burbage,
 came to the rescue at a very opportune
 moment. His messengers, as harbin-
 gers of glad tidings, gave personal mo-
 tice to every reputable person in town,
 irrespective of wealth. present or pre-
 vious condition of servitude, to visit his splendid mansion, and join with him
 and his family in an hour set apart for
 making glad the heart.
 Your correspondent was early in re- spending to the invitation, and was among the first to enter the reception
 room in order to get favorable glimpse of all those present, and those that 1 would come thereafter.
 The hall and parlors were brilliantly lighted, which showed to the best ad- vantage the genlal smiles of the great big-hearted host, and the divine face and form of the companion of his joys his lovely wife. Pleasure and gratifica- tion seemed to dance upon every linea- ment of their countenances as the guests appeared in single file, in couples or as whole families. At the hour of eight the guests all assembled; then We saw the master of ceremonies, MT. k. c. Kinder, look towards the orchestra, which was happily under the leadership of Professor Burge, assisted by Profess or G:rr.an, of the New York Leider- kranz. At once, and as if the skies were filled with celestial harmonists, there broke upon the senses of all pres ent the soul-enrapturing march. So sublimely perfect, in rendering the mu- sic, were the performers that silence for the moment, was succeeded by an en- tire uprising of the company, and the
 march around the drawing rooms began. The writer's position was favorable one for observation, and as the line passed in review, we recognized the fol- lowing most honorable and notable per- sonages: Mir and Mrs John ,Connors, Mir and Mrs Duty Green, Mir and Mrs c Perkins. MT and Mrs F NJ Buck and daughters, Mir and Mrs Divelbess, Mir and Ms D G Harvey, Mir and Mrs Boyer, MT and Mrs Luce, Mir and Mrs Higgins, Mir and Mrs A Pechner, MT and Mrs B Nj Terrill, Mir and Mrs Kentner, Mr and Mrs Trimble, Mir and Mrs Bur bage, Mir and Mrs Pedro Montana, Mir and Mrs Harry Scorse, Mir and Mrs Geo Russell, Mir and Mrs Dempsey, Mir and Mrs Robt Scott, Mir and Mrs Jose Mon- tana and family. Maj Orestes P Chaffee, Messrs A and B Sinister, Dr and Mrs Robinson, Mir Taylor and lady, Mrs Vinal, Mir Lindenberger the younger, MT T Bunch, Wm Field, Mir Webb of the Western Union, $ Farrell, Mir Sam Brown, Mir German, Jas Wilson, l. Pe- terson and lady, Mir Benjamin Burke, Frank Clark, Charles Harmon, Charles Testerman, H Moore, A Stivers, Frank Watron, Mckee Scott. Runyan c Kin der, w Skaggs, MT, Cooper.
 At the close of the march, the party formed into couples for the first quad rille. This festival was especially un- der charge of MT. James Wilson, of Boston, who introduced several novel; ties Tn figures, with such clearness that the dance was simply perfection. Then followed polkas, waltzes and round dances with the varied forms of the fa- vorite quadrille, til the midnight hour was reached.
 The toilets of the ladies were modest, but rich in the extreme. It is difficult to decide which of them exhibited the better taste, so perfectly were each ar- rave to set to advantage their peculiar style of beauty,
 The best dressed gentleman was easily determined. the unanimous opinion ac- corded the prize to MT. Mckee Scott full regulation costume-the young dude outdid the occasion, and is entitled to this record. MT. Scott, like vaulting ambition; o'er-leaped himself, and will get no more invitations; one such ex- hibition of good clothes floating contin- ualy three feet above the dancing floor in Apache county, is all this community can stand in one season. The columns of your paper will scarcely permit of full recital of all the incidents at the soiree dansante, but you will pardon me if 1 refer to another individual favor volunteered for the pleasure of the com pany. 4 particularly fine representa- tion of "Love's Young Dream," was posed by MT. Webb, and brought down upon the dis-poser flood of applause 1
 The grand double dance by the infan- tile cherub of the ST. JOHNS HERALD, and tho petite Madame Russell, of Hol- brook, was happily given, when most of i the old folks were at the refreshment ta-
