The Robert Smith Rifles Ball, which
came of with great ecat on Friday night
at the Deaf and Dumb Institute, was un-
doubtedly the grandest social event our
city has known for years, and one which
will always reflect credit upon the gallant
soldiers who got it up, and carried it out
with such wonderful perfection.
At 7:30 O'Clock a detachment of the
company, consisting OF Capt Henry, Lieuts.
Hartshorn and Waite, and privates Shelton,
Guilbert and Lee, called at Mr.. c. G.
Johnston's, and presented the colors of the
Company to their lovely sponsor, Miss Ida
Mitchell, and her fair maids of honor,
Misses Corinne Sykes, Myra Bailey, Nanny
Campbell, Kate Power, Kate Chambers,
Laura Maxwell and Leila Beatty. Capt.
Henry's presentation speech was short, but
every, very sweet" and Miss Mitchell
accepted the colors most gracefully, and
with the assurance that wherever the
colors OF the Rifles should wave, whether
over the fields of battle or in the time OF
peace, they should be followed by the
earnest good wishes of herself and her
maids of honor. After the ceremonies
were concluded refreshments were served

At nine o'clock the roll of carriages
could be heard turough the length and
breadth of the city, and for two hours :
steady stream was kept up, each deposit
ting at the place of destination its brave
and fair burdens.
The spacious concert hall of the IBsti.
tute was brilliantly lighted, and thronged
with an assemblage of Mississippi's mos
polished men and women, when the harp

ed on the arm Of Capt. Henry, followed by
her maids Of honor and attendant officers
of the Company. The entrance was in
deed beautiful sight, and the general YER
dict was that the Company had excelled it
self in its selections for the evening. Surely
they will never lack for inspiration while
they can claim Miss Mitchell for sponsor
OF Any one OF the maids az their friend.
The evening was one without cloud tC

One Lived, the Other Died.

A woman formerly our slave is now our
cook. About eighteen months ago she be-
came sickl and had = cough and was con-
lined TO bed, and IL was thought that she
had consumption. The treatment by ply
sicians failed to give relief. In December,
1854, a node or knO; the size Of goose egg
formed Just above the pit of the stomach.
which when lanced discharged matter for .
or months. One of these also formed
under her arm, and three on her back,
which discharged matter for considerable
time. For six months of this time she was
confined to the house. and most Of the time
in bed. The stomach often refused food,
by rejecting what she had eaten. She used
great deal Of medicine, but failed 10 be
cured. / bought one bottle of your 3. b.

her and she commenced to improve. then

she continued to improve and in two

digestion good. all discharges ceased, nodes
or knots disappeared and she went to work

Xnlcanns In Guatemala.

A report has been sent to the govern
ment of Guatemala by Mr.. Edwin Rock
strOck, who was appointed to visit Totoni-
capan, where volcanic disturbances have
occurred daily since July Of last year.
Totonicapan is in valley, the drainage
from which forms the River Pla, one of
the affluents OF the Samala. The valley is
inClOSed by high mountains, which attain
their greatest elevation al the northeast
and south. The formation isali volcanic,
and the rocks are covered with volcanic
dust and ashes, through which the rivu-
lets have cut deep beds. To the south OF
the city there are numerous hot springs,
some of which attain a temperature Of
l40'
The nearest volcanoes are Cerro
Quemada and Aiitlan, from both Of
which smoke and sulphurous vapors fire.
quently issue Thus Totonicapan is stu
ated in an essentially volcanic region,
which by no means signifies that new
volcano must consequently form there.
At depth OF some miles the conditions
necessary Oproduce the phenomena men
toned undoubtedly exist, but this by no
means indicates that a new volcano Is in
course Of formation. 1t may, however
be conjectured, from the fact that the
greatest activity is exhibited during the
rainy season, that the water filtrates
through the upper crusts and reaches the
volcanic center.-Panama Cor. New York

The Old Time Bohemians.

Fifteen years ago it was the pride Of
reporters to be called "Bohemians. "
They were, as a rule. imitators of Poe and
the earlier coterie of erratic geniuses, who
spent an hour on literary work and two
hours in pushing the social glass. To be
able to drink with politicians and hold
their own with clubmen was rs much a
qualification for a reporter as to be able
to write well, and indeed the grand cen
tiers for the news of the day were the bar
rooms and beer saloons, where the report
ers gathered to meet the politicians and
secure items Few of them had any
home life. They were, as a class, young
men who lived in furnished rooms or
hotels, and snatched their meals at any
convenient hour wherever they happened
to be. They were bold and enterprising,
for they had 10 be so in order 10 succeed
in their work. They were quick and
ready writers, brimful of sparkling wit,
which dropped from their pens as readily
as the ink would flow. The Office was
their home. and as the space system was
in vogue then, as it is very generally now,
there were always plenty of the boys on
hand at all hours Of the day and night to
respond to the call OF the city editor. No
trick OF device was regarded rs question
able 50 long as the lOnged-for news was
obtained, and some Of the means resorted
to would have been inexcusable in any
other business York Times.

A handsome woman of 30 or there
abouts, accompanied by TN attenuated
youth, entered q Broadway car last night.
The woman carried a Scotch terrier in her
arms and vainly looked about the car for
a seat. Presently q stout man with huge
cavalry whiskers arose and offered the
woman his seat, which she took without
a '.thank you" while she held the dog
up under her chin so that he could look
out of the window. In few minutes a
passenger next her vacated his seat, and
before the fat man could get to it sh had
pulled her escort down into it. The fat
man glared but said nothing. After the
car had gone several blocks further an
other passenger arose 10 get out. The
woman's attenuated escort touched the
stout man and pointed TO the seat.

as he ambled toward the door, II get out

The charges upon sleeping cars have
always been SO large that they should
have covered the service of attendants as
well as the use of berth. Yet every
generous minded person has felt under q
moral obligation to fee the porter because
he knew that the porter's employers gave
him so small wages that unless the passen-
gers came TO his rescue he would be shame
fully underpaid. The Wisconsin Central
Railroad company has just announced a
new departure in this matter It has
decided to increase the pay Of the porters
and walters employed on its sleeping and
dining cars to an amount which will give
them ample compensation for their work
and prohibit them from receiving tips"
from passengers. Orders have been issued
to them to receive no money from any
passenger except for blacking shoes,
"when requested to do so, for which
service they are permitted to accept ten
cents. This is a practical way of dealing
with the fee problem and is the only prac-
teal way.-New York Mail and Express.
