that the deposition Of Gen. Grant should be

Mr.. and Mrs. W. C.Steyens entertained
few friends on Saturday evening, when
the game Of Commerce is introduced, we
think, for the first time in Little Rock.
This game is played with cards and favors
are given to the most successful PLAYER.
The favors of the party in question were
very unique and pretty, and the evening
was made merrier by kettle-drum tea
party, where the pretty seivres china added
much to the delightful flavor of the tea.
Mrs. Stevens intends this to be the. first Of
series of evenings" to be given from now
until Lent.
