 THE BALL fAsQUE-The Es- telie Social Club is enjoying it's gala season this year On Thurs day evening last this popular organ ization treated it's members to a masqaed ball or d .BaHMasque. ;" as the exclusives call it. To say there were funny scenes at their han on Wes9 Second avenue on this orcasisn would be only putting it lightly. There were grotesQue scenes, side splitting scenes, anC scenes of every description. The costumes worn on this night were some of the most fancy and comicaI ever seen in this city. To see the large number of them one would judge that the WeaFers had been selecting d cos tune from Puck and Judge for the past six months and had combined them all into one. Dancing vas most enjoyable feature, more so on account of the dancers not knowing who were their respective partners. Finally the maskes were thrown aside and the usual number of sur prlses were oeeasioned Messrs. Ben Robinson and Frank Stewart were awarded prizes for the unique taste and originality displayed. The affair was q most pleasant and successful one from every point of view.

Treveiynn,s American Revolution.

Sir GEORGE OTTo TREvELYAN. we'll known to
American readers us the author Of the Life and
Letters Of Lord Macanlay and Of the Early His
tory OF Charles james Fox. has now taken up
the account OF the latter s~tatesman's life from
the point at which he dropped IL eighteen years
ago. lie has found. however, that the I 'hlc1l-
ties OF writing n political biography, as distiu-
Ruished from a political history. we're. In this
case. insuperable. The story Of Fox between
1774 and 1882 is inexplicabiy interviewer
with the story OF tho American Revolu-
ton. During that part OF the great drama
which was enacted within the walls Of Parlla-
ment. Fox was never of the STAGE; and. when
there. he played o conspicuous. and, as time
went on. confessedly the leading. part. What
was done and spoken at Westminster cannot
DO rightly explained. nor can the conduct of
British public men be fairly judged without
clear and detailed accounts Of what occurred
contemporaneously beyond the Atlantic. For
that reason Sir George denominates the sec
ond part Of his life Of Fox The american Rer-
%olution. the first volume OF which. covering
the period from 1853 to 177e. is now published
by Longmans. Green 4 Co.

Tho writer avoids laying stress on any one
cause OF degeneracy. With a view. also. to scien-
tihc accuracy. he avoids making any attempt
to domnrcatc vigorously ahnormality from dis
ease or otavlsm from arrested development,
The guiding principle followed Ia that the
factors OF degeneracy affect in the ancestor the
checks on excessive action which have been
acquired during the evolution OF the race and
thus produce n state OF nervous exhaustion.
The descendant. consequently. Is unable to
reach the state Of thu ancestor thus ncrvously
exhausted, Before directing attention to the
chapters which deal with bodily. mental. and
moral deGeneracy, we would mark what the
author has to say about the toxic effects OF GER
