 Today we are confronted by very painful duty ID the writ ng of cur Bis bee correspondence. We feel that We owe a most humble apology to our many readers and 6 ten fold more humble one to the young ladies who made the arrangements for our late Leap year ball. We hardly know how to mske start on this giaceless task ss the said item was written entirely without our knowledge, but, at the same time, it could never have got into print but for the loose business method employed by us on the night in question and we think we had bet ter append short explanation which may relieve us of some of the burden of ignolniny which seems to res, upon us at present.
 On the night of the dance in ques- tion it was probably noticed by num- Der of persons that, contrary to our usual custom, we lief. the dance quite early. This was owing 10 the fact that we were somewhat under the weather but before We left we made arrangements with young society gentleman in whom we have hi,hertn placed great confidence, to write fuli and complete account Of the affair in order that the readers of the PRosPEc- TOR might not lose anything by our disa hiliiy. We also left this party (namely Mir. Charles Brandes, busi- ness manager for the tailoring estab- lishment owned by Fred Warbnrton) an addressed envelope and letter to the editor of the raper stating that anything he might write would be all right. How this letter was taken Of you ell have seen and it has placed ms in very delicate posi- ton. It was understood 6. the time that MT. Brandes' authorship was to be kept a secret. but we think, under | the circumstances that we are jus,i- | fled in making it public.
 There are . number of eItenuating | in his part Of the affair however, and we sincerely hope that | the young ladies will not be too hard | on him. Alter leaving the hall the young gentleman was unfortunate in | m seiing with convivial friends and | he himself now feels quite as bad lvsvth- circumstance as any one and wish.a ne to add his deepest regrets at | the occurrence and to assure the | young ladies that he :.ever entertained any such rconstrOus opinion of their | dance, He, in common win every one we have talked with since the dsnSs, seeUS to think that i. was d very pleasant affair from start to fin isb, and he declares tha. the seven cups Cf good coffee he enjoyed more lhan cImpenssted him for the 75 cts. gentleman. Let him live few more 1 days in the light Of your win o,ne smiles.
