The History of the Inauguration Ball.

Tho Inauguration ball dates from the
very beginning. There was ball when
Washington was inaugurated in New
York. but owing 10 the pressure Of other
demands upon his time. IL did not take
place till the evening of March 1th
Washington attended. and performed a
minuet with Miss Van Zandt and danced
cotillions with Mrs. Peter Van Brugh
Livingston. Mrs. Maxwell. and others
There was no ball at his second inaugu-
ration because OF its extremely quiet
character. and there was none when Mr..
Adams came in because Of the general
grief over Washlngtons departure. | can
find no mention of a bah when jefferson
WAS inauguratcd, but there was one
when Madison came In. and since then
there has been no break I'm the custom.
There were two when Polk was inaugu-
rated. and two whom Taylor succe cded
h.m-an administration and an oDposi-
ton ball on each occasion. both very
well attended. The crush was so great
at the Taylor administration ball that
many persons narrowly escaped injury
and there We're loud complaints because
Of the inadequate supply OF refresh

Altruism in Practice.

There WAS once an altruist who had
an important engagement IN distant
town. Accordingly. he went O. the rail-
way station TO buy his ticket, passengers
were not allowed to pay on the train.
This man possessed an athletic and
sharp-eyed conscience. which he took
along with him because he never could
succeed I'm leaving it behind.
Arrived al the station, he found sew
onl other people waiting TO buy tickets,
so he took his pace at the end Of the
line When he got 10 the window he
was just about TO ask for a ticket TO --,
when he glanced over his shoulder and
saw another man waiting. Preferring
others 10 himself. the altruist stepped
aside. and the other man bought his ticket.
The aitruist was again about to buy his.
when he observed woman waiting. and
again made way.
After her came a number Of men. wo-
men. and children. who crowded so close
ly together that the altruist could not
get into line and had 10 go to the foot.
Even here fresh people We're constantly
coming IN az the door. and he made way
for each OF them. and held Their bundles
while they went up to buy their tickets.
So that night came before he had gotten
his own at all.
But there is just time now" said the
altruist. So he made a dash for the
ticket-w ndow. but his conscience caught
him by the collar.
How selfish" il said severely. 'Yol
are gong to take the last chance there
is another nan who wants IT," SO the
other man bought his ticket, and the
window was closed for the night.
IN manage better tomorrow" said
the altruist So the next day he came
early and hended the line. But just as
