BLUE AND GRAY MINGLE.

For six successive years the annual
ball of the Daughters of the Coniederacy
has been the society event of the season
in st. Louis, and last night the immense
hall of the Merchants Exchange was
crowded with "the children of the lost
cause" and their guests.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, the venerable
widow of the leader of the Confederacy,
and daughter Winnie, were guests of
honor. 1t is Mrs. Davis's first visit to
st. Louis since her husband was Union
soldier and stationed at Jefferson Bar.
racks, fifty years ago.
A notable incident of the evening
was the visit to the ball room Of num-
Der of Union generals in attendance at
the reunion of the Society Ct the Army
of the Tennessee and their presentation
to Mrs. Davis and the wives and daugh-
ters of those who wore the gray.
Colonel Frederick d. Grant, of New
York, son of General Grant, and who is
at St. Louis in attendance on the conven-
ton OF the Society of the Army of Ten.
nessee, called on Mrs. Jefferson Davis
and Miss Winnie Davis at their hotel
yesterday: He was accompanied by
General Guy V. Henry, of Jefferson
Barracks. He met the ladies in the
main parlor of the Planters Hotel.
where they were entertaining number
of Daughters of the Confederacy, and
held an informal interview with them.

meet Colonel Grant and General Henry.
The latter received his warrant of CON-
mission at West Point from Mr.. Davis.

UNDER THE false impression that the
gushers and some other Southern men
who will condescend to almost any
thing to obtain Northern recognition,
provided it be accompanied with a
consideration, are true representa-
tives of the South, many Northern peo-
pie, not only at home, but when they Wis
it this section, assume airs of superiority
that would be provoking if they were
not ludicrous. In Richmond, day or
two ago, one of them, Mr.. Atkinson of
New England, in an address to meet
ing of Southern newspaper people, said
the ''solid South had been broken and
the color line obliterated by the result
of the recent election" Of course, he
was called down at once, but that be
had the impertinence and impotence to
stand up before Southern audience
not yet recovered from the distressing
effects of their recent political defeat,
and talk to them as be did, exhibited
a degree of effrontery rarely equaled
and never excelled.

A VERDICT IN FIVE MINUTES.

| JAS. Edward WINNER was acquitted
in Richmond yesterday evening of kill
ing Charles Thalheimer, nineteen years
old. for running his sixteen year old
paralvtic daughter, as she claimed, by
assault. The father found his wife and
daughter weeping. and learned of the
trouble. He sharpened bis pocket
knife, and, going in quest of the young
man, plunged it fourteen times into MS
body. Public sentiment ran so high
that a jury could not be obtained in
Richmond aud Norfolk was called on to
supply the men who sat in judgment on
he man. He and Ida May Winner,
his daughter, were witnesses. She told
her story simply, and made an impress
sion of innocence upon the jury. VIM
mer stated boldly on the stand that he
started out for revenge, and was only
satisfi, d when he had the life OF his
daughters bctrayer. The court room
was packed each day during the trial.
The speeches were in the character of
appeals to protect the virtue of women.
The instructions to the court were such
that, under ordinary circumstances, The
accused would be visited with the Sc
yerest punishment of the law; but, not
githstanding This, the jury yesterday
afternoon returned in five minutes from
their room, and rendered verdict OF
not guilty. Hundreds OF persons went
forward and pressed the hand OF The
man who SO terribly revenged his
daughters honor.

THE X-RAY SHIRT WAIsT-Of all
the devices yet invented by woman for
the ensnaring and destruction of a
mans soul the N-ray shirt waist is the
most diabolically eflicacous. l call
them them X-ray shirt waists because
they have somewhat the effect of the
Roentgen photographs. in that they dis
close most bounteously the feminine
framework through-a warp and wool
transparent. They are the most So
lictous things. The sleeves are but
substantial lures for the eye to the ivory
arm. Through these sleeves one can
note even vaccination mark so plainly
as to feel very distinct hatred Tor the
leaving it there as a sign manual of
scientific privilege. You can note the
dimples and the little elevations that by
their particular deviations emphasize
the general roundness of the arm. Fas-
tened closely around the wrist with a
little band, the expansion Of the bal
looming sleeve is impaired to the wrist
and makes the effect OF lis plumpness
more insistent-T. Louis Mirror.
